Li Qiu lived in poverty since he was a child, and he always knew how important money is.But he has always been open-minded, and he doesn't take material life seriously. Even if he was forced to drop out of school when he was young, there was no big disturbance.And until now, he didn't understand the truth that "a penny can't beat a hero".

He had been trying in vain to give Li Lin a happy old age, but at this moment, Li Qiu and Xie Cheng's money together couldn't even hold a decent funeral for her.

For a moment, Li Qiu really wanted to jump off the stairs and finish it off.But when he thought of Li Lin's last wish and that Yan An needed someone to study for him, he didn't even dare to commit suicide for a moment.

People die like this, dare not die, Li Qiu suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Apart from those clothes, Li Lin only left an envelope, which contained a will and some money, scattered here and there.

Li Lin gave the money to Li Qiu and Xie Cheng, specifically stating that it would be used for banquets when they got married.

All her life, Li Lin wanted to see Li Qiu grow up and have a family of her own, and wanted to hug her great-grandson.

However, life always has to go with so little regret.

It is a pity that the seniors left, leaving behind the immature juniors.Neither Li Qiu nor Xie Cheng could see their relatives for the last time.All that was left to them was a cold body, nothing more.

Li Qiu and Xie Cheng discussed it, but decided not to use the money Li Lin left them.The two never believed in ghosts and gods, but now they were afraid of hurting Li Lin's heart, so they didn't dare to embezzle the property.

Fortunately, the school was aware of their situation and mobilized the faculty and staff to raise funds. Li Qiu and the others borrowed some money to barely solve the funeral problem.The burial is not in these few days, so you can breathe a sigh of relief about buying the tomb.

Li Lin wanted to be buried with Xie Xingyu, and the nearby cemetery would cost tens of thousands, so Li Qiu couldn't afford it for the time being.

On the day Li Lin was sent to be cremated, he stood beside her, saying his last farewell to her.Li Lin's face was already a little swollen, for some reason, Li Qiu always felt that it wasn't her.He stared blankly for a while, remembering that when he was young, he was disobedient and felt ashamed to go out with Li Lin, so he sneaked away to play with his friends not long after leaving the house, leaving Li Lin alone to search for a long time, worried and anxious.

That time when his trousers caught a nail and made a big hole, when he came home, Li Lin hung his hands in the air for a long time but still didn't fall down, sighed, and sat down to sew the trousers for Li Qiu.The young Li Qiu leaned over timidly, seeing that she was not trying to settle accounts with Qiuhou, he hugged Li Lin's arm and said, "Grandma, you are so kind."

And Li Lin pushed him back: "Stinky boy, get out of here, don't delay my work."

Li Qiu greeted him with a smile, making Li Lin put down her work and start a fight with him.After playing for a while, Li Qiu leaned next to Li Lin: "Grandma, I will definitely make a lot of money in the future, buy you a lot of nuts and delicious food, and live in a big and spacious house..."

Li Lin raised her hand to scratch his nose, her eyebrows and eyes curved: "Okay, then I'll wait for Xiao Lizi to buy me a big house."

However, Li Qiu failed to fulfill his promise in the end, he failed to allow Li Lin to live in a spacious and bright house in the mine, and he could not afford to buy the narrow tomb.

Looking at Li Lin's face, Li Qiu suddenly felt that his vision was a bit blurred.

It was raining lightly outside, Li Qiu didn't want to look any further, turned around and walked out.

The rain and tears mixed together, he took it easy for a while, and wanted to find a place to smoke a cigarette, when suddenly someone opened an umbrella to help him block the wind and rain.

"Brother." The boy's voice was hoarse, "I'll take you there."

Li Qiu looked at him blankly.At some point, Yan An was already much taller than him, showing a majestic figure of a man, looking mature and steady.

Yan An's umbrella leaned slightly towards Li Qiu, and his other hand held his waist.This is a subconscious action, which means that Yan An has grown up, and it also means that in Yan An's heart, he has become an object in need of protection.

Li Qiu had mixed feelings in his heart.

After all the complicated affairs came to an end, Li Lin's ashes were temporarily stored in the cemetery and buried at another date.Li Qiu was exhausted physically and mentally when he returned home and wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep no matter what.

The nuts bought for Li Lin are still in the living room.As soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of the pistachios that rolled to the ground that night and Li Lin's extremely cold body.

Li Qiu cursed softly, wanting to throw away the nuts that brought bad memories.But as soon as he picked up the bag, he thought of the happy look on Li Lin's face when she made money to buy things for the first time.So Li Qiu paused and put the bag of nuts back.

Xie Cheng didn't leave, too much happened during this period, he was afraid that Li Qiu would not be able to bear it alone.He knew that Li Qiu felt uncomfortable, and the two had surprisingly similar experiences from childhood to adulthood, Xie Cheng knew that Li Qiu didn't need to be comforted now - those words would only upset Li Qiu.So Xie Cheng handed him a cigarette: "Don't worry about our grandma. I still have a few friends. I will go to a distant place in two days and ask them to borrow. You give me the card number, and the money will be paid to you first." On account."

Li Qiu frowned: "Where is the friend from?"

Xie Cheng quickly retracted his hand, avoiding Li Qiu's gaze: "I met you in the delivery before. The boss wants to go south to do business. I'll make two trips with you and you'll be able to get money. Soon, you can rest assured."

Li Qiu grew up with him since he was a child, and when he caught Xie Cheng's small movements, he immediately understood that something was wrong, and reached out and grabbed Xie Cheng's clothes: "Tell me honestly, what are you going to do?"

"I've told you all, I'm going out with the boss, why are you asking so many questions?"

"What are you running?"

Xie Cheng didn't expect Li Qiu to get to the bottom of it, so he paused and said, "Clothes... building materials, in short, it's very profitable."

Li Qiu was not perfunctory by him, but put away his casual look, with a serious expression: "If you don't explain clearly what you are going to do, I won't use you for a loan shark."

When Xie Cheng was a child, his mind was not as bright as Li Qiu's, and he was always fooled around by him.Although after growing up, he opened up a little bit and learned to take revenge on Li Qiu who teased him before, but sometimes he still feels embarrassed when facing Li Qiu.At this moment when he was asked by Li Qiu, he didn't know how to make it up since he had no idea about his decision, so he simply stiffened his neck and smashed the jar: "It's just to punch, it's not a big deal! "

Li Qiu's face suddenly turned livid.His anger rushed to his head, he rushed forward and grabbed Xie Cheng's collar: "Do you know what you are talking about?!"

"Do you know why this kind of place comes in so fast? It will kill/people!"

Xie Cheng expected Li Qiu's reaction after knowing this, but he didn't expect it to be so intense.He was not happy at first, but he got angry when Li Qiu yelled at him again, and grabbed Li Qiu's collar no matter what happened: "What do I want to do, why the hell are you so fierce? "

"Xie Cheng, let me tell you, if you dare to do this, I won't have you as a brother!"

These words were very serious, Xie Cheng knew that he was really angry, so he wanted to say a few soft words to give him a step down, so he said: "Okay, okay, those who don't know think we are fighting, put it away Ah, take it away."

"Don't change the subject!" Li Qiu roared, "Speak clearly first!"

When he was in a hurry, his hands moved violently, and the hands that grabbed Xie Cheng's collar pushed him twice. Xie Cheng was unprepared, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell off the stool.

He wobbled a few times in extreme embarrassment before he stabilized his figure, and when he looked back at Li Qiu still looking the same, the last string in his heart was broken: "I don't owe you any money, don't make a bad face all day long." Show it to people!"

"Besides, do you think I want to?" Xie Cheng's heart became inexplicably angry. All the grievances and pain these days had turned into a burning fire, and he couldn't help venting, "Are you rich? Am I rich? Are you rich?" How can you get me tens of thousands?"

Li Qiu suddenly looked up at him: "Even a loan is better than your stupid move."

"Loan? You haven't repaid the loan when you treated grandma? You haven't repaid the money owed to your boss. Which bank will give you the loan?"

Li Qiu said lightly: "Don't worry, I can borrow money even if it's usury, and you don't need to exchange your life for it."

Xie Cheng stood up abruptly and pointed at Li Qiu's nose: "Are you crazy?! Which loan lenders won't suck your blood until you die?"

Li Qiu pushed his hand away and stood up too: "Are you not crazy?"

For the first time, Xie Cheng felt that it was difficult to communicate with Li Qiu. He didn't control the volume anymore, and roared: "You want those people to take the interest that you haven't paid back in your life, and keep pestering you until death?! Do you want What do you want Yan An to do!"

Yan An was awakened by the sound of the two arguing. Seeing the constant situation, he ran over and separated the two: "What's wrong?"

"Take care of your crazy brother." Xie Cheng gritted his teeth, "He's going to borrow usury!"

Yan An is more aware of the dangers of usury than Xie Cheng, and his heart tightens, he grabs Li Qiu's hand: "Brother, don't touch this thing..."

"I think you're crazy! You're going to kill yourself with that kind of punch?" Li Qiu shook off Yan An's hand, pushed him aside, and was about to throw his fist at Xie Cheng.

"Aren't they all the same?" Xie Cheng sarcastically said, "You fight."

But Li Qiu stopped, kicked the stool that Xie Cheng was sitting on, and cursed in a low voice.

"Isn't it all about exchanging your life for money? Seeing how superior you are, do you think the method you came up with is decent?" Xie Cheng was extremely angry, and his tone was extremely extreme, with some grievances that he didn't even realize, "Mixed into It's like this now, I can't even afford a tomb, what a fucking..."

Xie Cheng suddenly paused——

Li Qiu cried.

In Xie Cheng's memory, Li Qiu is not a crying character, he has hardly seen Li Qiu cry.So this time, Xie Cheng finally realized that he had hurt his friend's heart belatedly, and subconsciously grabbed Li Qiu's hand: "Lizi, I didn't mean that, I..."

"Thank you Cheng." Li Qiu said, "You can save me some snacks, okay?"

Without looking at Xie Cheng, he lifted his foot and walked out.

Yan An chased after him: "Brother, where are you going?"

Li Qiu walked to the stairs without looking back: "Let's relax."

Xie Cheng also finally came to his senses, ran over and grabbed Li Qiu's sleeve: "Lizi, don't be like this, let's talk about it, there must be a way, I..."

Li Qiu couldn't bear it anymore, and shook him off fiercely: "Stop talking!"

He used [-]% of his strength, Xie Cheng was thrown back a few steps by him, Li Qiu himself was a little unsteady, so he took a small step back to stabilize his figure, but he didn't expect that there was a layer behind him. Li Qiu stepped on the empty stairs and fell down.

Li Qiu felt very slow at that moment, he saw Xie Cheng rushing down to catch him at that moment, but failed.His head hit the steps hard, and his body fell uncontrollably.He grabbed a couple of random ones, but to no avail, he fell to the last floor before stopping.Li Qiu heard someone calling his name, eager and urgent.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and suddenly saw Yan An's beautiful eyes filled with tears and pain.

At the end when the consciousness dissipated, an untimely thought flashed through Li Qiu's mind: brat, I don't even call him brother anymore.
