Chapter 2 Inexpensive Family

At that moment, I was completely stunned.

Su Yuner told me a few years ago that in Hedong and in Hexi, my mother abandoned me and ran away, and today, Su Yuner's biological father also ran away.

Her crying echoed in the living room for a long time. I have never seen Su Yuner cry so tragically.

Should I laugh to the sky and reincarnation forever, or should I walk forward and comfort Su Yuner, who has cried miserably?

After hesitating for a while, I finally chose to comfort Su Yuner's cry. After all, I also experienced the grief of being abandoned by my close relatives.

I squatted in front of Su Yuner, and said to her with a hint of distress: "Your father ran away just like my mother ran away back then. I can understand your pain. Su Yuner, cheer up, without parents, we must live strong."

Su Yuner glanced at me, blinking her big eyes with tears, as if she had made a great determination. She bit her lip hard, wiped her tears hard, and said she would not cry or cry, and then handed me the note in her hand.

I took it and saw it, and then I understood the reason why my stepfather ran away. It turned out that over the years, my stepfather's temperament changed drastically because my mother ran away. He would gamble almost every night, which caused him to lose all his savings and owed a lot of gambling debts.

Just last night, the stepfather was beaten by the creditor because he could not repay the gambling debt. The other party threatened to kill the stepfather, which scared the stepfather so much that he ran away overnight.

Before fleeing, my stepfather left this note, which was counted as an explanation to Su Yuner. There was a passage at the end of the note, which was written for me.

The stepfather wrote: "Chu Siqi, considering that the stepfather has treated you well for a few years ago, please be kind to Yun'er!"

hehe……

This laugh belongs to Su Yuner. She smiled like a self-deprecatingly and said nothing, but it made me feel sad.

I understand that if it weren't for the stepfather's run away and causing a huge blow to Su Yuner, she would never have cried in front of me.

Alas, they are both people who have fallen into the world!

At that moment, I felt very sympathetic to Su Yuner and myself.

Su Yuner got up from the floor, took a long breath, gritted her teeth and walked towards her bedroom, and said to me without looking back: "Forget it, nothing happened this morning!"

I stared at her back that looked weak, and knew that the severe pain in her heart must be extremely strong at this time, but she wanted to pretend that it was indifferent in front of others. She was like a hedgehog, and she was in pain and just wanted to curl up her body and hide in the corner and tremble.

"Su Yun'er!"

Suddenly, I called her and plucked up the courage to say to her: "I just want to tell you that I am the only man in my family now, and I will take care of you... and take care of you!"

I originally wanted to take care of this family, but I still tactfully said that I should take care of her. Now this family is almost broken, and only me is left. If you are a man, you have to take responsibility. I must shoulder the responsibility of taking care of this family.

As for taking care of Su Yun'er, it doesn't exist, I'm just a comforting word. In the deepest part of my heart, I won't forget her indifference, contempt and bullying for me earlier because of her crying this morning!

Su Yuner slowly turned around, her face full of shock, obviously she didn't expect that I would 'take care of her'.

She looked at me in disbelief for a while and asked me: "You take care of me? What do you use to take care of me? Use your pity for me at this moment to take care of me? Save it, my dad ran away, he didn't save money in the tuition bank card at all, and we didn't have the tuition fee to go to No. 1 Middle School today."

After she said it all in one's mind, she looked at me, stretched out her hand and said, "If you take care of me, get the tuition fee!"

"I……"

Being stared at by Su Yuner, I was so embarrassed that I couldn't answer the words.

Her words are very targeted. Indeed, taking care of someone is not something, but doing it in real life. I have no money, and I have not had enough food in recent years, so I can't afford to pay for tuition.

The previous impulse wanted to take care of this family was in return for the sarcasm of reality. The ideals were full and the reality was skinny!

"You...what are you?"

Su Yuner seemed to have all her anger vented at this moment, pointing at me and shouting: "For so many years, what is the difference between you and waste? Eat my dad's, use my dad's, and let my dad make you better to me. Can you? Apart from hiding in the quilt in the middle of the night, crying, and apart from the vulgarity you were used to treat me back then, what are you left?"

“…”

These words made me blush and I didn't refute it, because everything Su Yuner said was true.

"well!"

Su Yuner suddenly sighed and smiled bitterly: "I know you are for my own good. I shouldn't say that to you. Sorry, I was too excited at first. Forget it, I'm my sister, so I asked me to borrow money from relatives and pay our tuition fees today first."

"No, I'll try to find a way!"

I said with a gritted teeth, but unexpectedly, Su Yuner's attitude changed suddenly and she apologized to me. She was taken home from the orphanage by her stepfather, so she had no relatives. In this county, she had no relatives except her stepfather.

And I, in addition to my mother who ran away, I also have a relative aunt.

"You?" Su Yun'er sneered, and could hear that she didn't believe that I could borrow money.

I gritted my teeth and nodded and said it was me. I will borrow money now, don’t look at people in the cracks of the door, and I will look down on people. I also added that if I can’t borrow money to pay the tuition, I will not go home!

Su Yuner shrugged and said casually, which made me so excited that I opened the door and rushed out.

But when I got downstairs, I regretted my impulse. It was true that I had an aunt in this county, but since my mother ran away, my aunt basically never cared about me. Even if I was beaten to her and cried to her, my aunt still had a tense face and didn't say anything.

Finally, my aunt burst into tears when she saw me telling me. At most, she handed me a tissue, and then said to me Qiqi, you are a man, you are calm for a while, and you have to bow your head under the eaves and go home quickly!

Several times this happened, which made me understand one thing. My aunt didn’t like me. Later, I also became clear about it. This world is so cold. Even if it is your relatives, as long as you are poor and indignant, few people are willing to see you.

I clearly know my aunt's indifference to me, but since she has already said it from Su Yuner, even if I am kneeling, I will beg my aunt to lend me the tuition money.

I agreed in my heart and walked towards my aunt's house.

When I arrived at my aunt's house, she was about to take her cousin to register at school. My cousin was half a year younger than me and happened to be in the first year of high school this year.

My cousin is tall, bright and charming, with a pair of ponytails, and is as energetic as the warm sun. When she smiles, she has a pair of dimples on her face, which makes people feel refreshed.

But when my cousin, who used to smile, saw me enter the room, her face suddenly became extremely gloomy. Before I could call her, my cousin directly expressed her thoughts.

"Chu Siqi, you won't go to the Sanbao Temple if you have nothing to do. You come to my house this morning. If you are here to complain or borrow money, please leave directly. My mother is busy taking me to register for the new school!"

She didn't call me cousin. Every time I saw her in the past few years, she wouldn't give me a good face, and this morning was no exception.

My face suddenly turned red, as if a thief was caught on the spot. I hadn't even spoken yet. My cousin was so thoughtful that she actually guessed what I was going to do, but her words sounded quite heartbroken!

When I didn't see me, my cousin sneered and turned to my aunt and said, "Mom, don't pay attention to Chu Siqi, he is just a waste. Every time I come to our house, I either cry and complain about being bullied or say I'm so hungry. By the way, there are still buns left in the kitchen that the dog has not eaten. You can give it to him and we'll go to school quickly!"

"I……"

If I borrow money, I kept it to my mouth and stopped it. In my cousin's eyes, I was even worse than their dogs. I would give me the buns that the dog had not finished eating.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, but when I thought that Su Yun'er was waiting for me to get the money back at home, I could only grit my teeth and ignore my cousin's sarcasm. I forced myself to smile and look at my aunt who didn't say a word.

I said with difficulty: "Auntie, you are my only elder in this county. Please borrow it for my mother's affection..."

Before I could say all of my words, my cousin shouted loudly. She slapped the TV cabinet and said to me with contempt: "Chu Siqi, you are shameless. I'm so naughty. Are you pretending not to understand, or are you deaf at all?"

My heart sank, I looked at my cousin, and hesitated: "Linlin, I can't do anything, I..."

"I'm so ma'am, I..." Xiang Linlin rushed over and shoved me, and said angrily: "Get out, our family doesn't welcome you!"

I was like a betrayed dog, and was pushed out by Xiang Linlin. Looking at my aunt who had never spoken from beginning to end, my eyes were full of desire, hoping that my aunt would help me.

I also want to leave, but if I leave, the tuition fees between me and Su Yuner will be really ruined.

I want to take care of that family, so I still have a glimmer of hope. I folded my hands when I prayed to my aunt and said choked: "Auntie, please help me..."

The moment the door was about to be closed by Xiang Linlin, my aunt exhaled and said to me: "Qiqi, this is the last time I am helping you!"

"mom!"

Xiang Linlin looked at her mother, trying to stop her, but she didn't have time to see her aunt walking to the door with her lady's bag.

Then, my aunt took out five red bills from her bag. When she frowned and handed them to me, she seemed very distressed. She immediately took back two and handed me three hundred yuan.

"Qiqi, you can take this three hundred yuan!"

When I looked at the three hundred yuan, my heart was suddenly thrusting and painful. This represents the family affection of my aunt's family. The cheap family affection is only worth 300 yuan!

I really want to resist, but under the cruel force of reality, I had to stretch out my trembling hands, like a beggar, wanting to catch three hundred yuan.

But at this moment, a figure rushed behind me, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and a cold voice came out: "You can take these three hundred yuan to take medicine, get out of here!"

Bang!
Chapter completed!
