Xin Rui's canteen was in a mess. The wooden door was kicked open and fell to the ground. The house was turned into a mess, and all kinds of goods were scattered.
A slovenly middle-aged man held his head in his hands, shrank his body, and grunted from time to time because of pain.
This again gathered people around him, and three or four of them, who looked like young people from society, were fighting each other with fists and kicks.
This middle-aged man is Xin Rui’s alcoholic gambler father.
"If you don't pay back the money before the New Year, you won't be beaten as easily as you are today,"
At this time, a man wearing a mink velvet coat, with a ferocious face and a bald head and a round waist,
He wore a large gold chain around his neck that was not real or fake. He twisted it several times, put a briefcase under his left arm, separated from his younger brother, and squatted in front of the middle-aged man who was being beaten.
He blew smoke at him, causing him to cough, which involved the area where he was beaten. His facial features were twisted together in pain, but he didn't dare to make a sound, fearing that the bald head and his little brother would be upset if they heard it, and would kick him again. ,
The right hand holding the cigarette patted the man who was lying on the ground with a pitiful look on his face. There was a sneer on his face and his tone was full of threats.
"Long...Brother Long, I...I will pay it back, I will definitely pay it back. My store is here, my wife and children are here, I can't run away...hiss..."
Father Xin struggled to smile and looked at the bald head in a flattering manner. His bruised and swollen face was particularly funny, pitiful and even more hateful.
"This little shabby shop like yours can't be worth the 100,000 you owe. Don't say Brother Long doesn't take care of you. I'll give you three more days to raise the money.
Brothers, take a look at the valuable things in the store and load them into the car. We must gain something from this trip.
Three days later, even the original capital and profits were one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, even one penny less.
By the way, I heard that you have a daughter who is studying in Zhenhua. She looks good. Next time we come, if you still can’t pay back the money, you can use your daughter to offset the interest.
Don't worry, I'll introduce her to a job that pays quickly. Maybe if she works for a while, she can help you pay back the principal, haha..."
Brother Jianghu Long held the cigarette in his mouth, laughed and waved to the younger brothers to move their things.
Xin's father was lying on the ground with a smiling face. Xin's mother, who was hiding behind the counter, looked pale and shrunk. She was too frightened to say a word and lowered her head. She didn't care that the cigarettes and alcohol at home had been looted.
Xin Rui pressed against the door of his bedroom. Although the door was locked, he still didn't feel safe.
He forced himself to stay standing, and his slightly trembling hands showed Xin Rui's inner fear and nervousness.
Holding the phone tightly in her right hand, the screen stopped on the contact Gu Yu, which gave her a little mental comfort.
When the situation gets really critical, she will call Gu Yu.
Fortunately, this time Brother Long and his younger brother came to the door just to give a warning and did not enter the inner room.
Apart from beating Xin's father for not paying back the money, Xin's mother and Xin Rui were not touched.
Brother Long saw that his younger brother moved quickly and there was nothing interesting left in the messy canteen.
He picked up a bag of betel nut, threw the cigarette butts aside, opened it and threw it into his mouth.
"Did you hear clearly what I said before?" Brother Long kicked Xin's father again and asked impatiently,
"Ah... listen... listen clearly, don't worry! I will definitely pay it back! I will definitely pay it back! Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
Father Xin screamed and quickly answered, clasping his hands together and begging for mercy.
"Bah! Rotten gambler!"
Brother Long spat the betel nut on Xin’s father’s face, sneered disdainfully, and walked out of the door in a swaggering manner.
Suddenly I noticed something and turned back to Xin Rui's room.
Xin Rui had been paying attention to the movements outside. Hearing that Brother Long was leaving, he slowly relaxed a lot.
Looking outside through the window, he happened to be looking at Brother Long.
That unscrupulous look, as if he was being looked at as a commodity, and matched with the other party's ferocious face,
Xin Rui was so frightened that he subconsciously rushed to the window, closed the curtains, and hid behind the wall.
"Whoops~"
Brother Long saw Xin Rui, who was wearing a long white down jacket, tall and pure, with a pleasant appearance. His eyes shone.
He whistled into the room with the curtains drawn, laughed and got into the van,
Hearing the sound of the van starting to drive away, Xin Rui's tense nerves were completely relieved, and he sat limply on the ground.
I thought that my family was already very miserable and poor, but I didn't expect that my alcoholic father had been gambling more and more recently.
I was dragged to the casino, owed a loan shark, and borrowed 50,000 yuan. Now the amount has doubled, and the black society has come to visit me.
Xin Rui felt deeply powerless. During this period, his life gradually got back on track.
She felt more and more clearly the hope of leaving her original family and was about to welcome a new life of her own.
As a result, before the door of heaven was opened, a group of demons from hell blocked the door, trying to drag her down into a deeper abyss.
Thinking of this, Xin Rui burst into tears, buried his head in his knees, and cried helplessly.
The soft and white hand was still holding the mobile phone, and the screen lit up, showing Gu Yu's phone number.
Outside the bedroom, Xin's father saw Brother Long and his gang leaving. He shouted sternly at Xin's mother to help him up and cursed loudly.
Cong Xin's mother scolded Xin Rui, venting her inner fear and anger at being beaten just now.
"Damn it! I don't know how to help me up, hiss...it hurts me so much, damn it! Go and call the doctor, it's useless!
Why did I marry a prodigal woman like you in the first place and give birth to a loser? All I could do was watch me get beaten.
Why don't you fucking come out and clean up, help me deal with my wounds, and support you for free!
You idiot, I left the canteen to you, where did the money go? If they come to force me again, I will sell you to pay off the debt!
Hiss...it hurts, damn, these bastards are so cruel,"
Xin's father, who was previously submissive, now became full of anger and cursed constantly, showing his status as the head of the family.
Xin's mother shrank from being scolded. She helped Xin's father sit down on the chair he was holding up, and then hurried to the clinic in front of the alley.
She was used to being scolded and beaten, and she was used to living her life like this.
Outside the canteen, after Brother Long left, the neighbors who had been hiding in their homes to watch the show came out. They gathered in groups of three and five, looking towards Xin Rui's house, and mouthing various arrangements,
An aunt moved a bench from nowhere, took out peanuts and melon seeds, and started to restore the previous scenes for her companions with joy.
I also couldn't bear it, so I had a kind heart and wanted to see the situation and help the Xin family clean up.
"What the hell, what a bullshit neighbor, I didn't even know how to help when I was beaten!"
Several packs of peanut snacks were thrown out from Xin Rui's house, accompanied by Xin's father's curses.
The neighbor who wanted to help didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
The mother and daughter had such a thing, and it was over for the rest of their lives. They just pitied the little girl from the Xin family. I heard that her grades were pretty good and she worked very hard.
After a while, Uniform came to Xin Rui's house unhurriedly.
They received a report and came to understand the situation. Xin's father was afraid of being retaliated against and beaten even more severely. Moreover, he said that gambling was against the law.
He didn't tell the truth, and he didn't file a case. Soon, the uniform asked Xin's father to sign a signature indicating that they were going to the police, and then left.
In the old alley at night, there are rows of old red brick houses.
Under the lights of thousands of houses, sometimes an ordinary life is just a luxury hope, sad, lamentable, pitiful and hateful.
