haunted pillow

However, Ai Qiang can't even get a dollar out of her body now, so she ended up getting two steamed buns on credit with the boss at a nearby small supermarket. Fortunately, the boss has been working here for decades and has a lot of love with her The old neighbor who has been around for many years is willing to accommodate.

But even so, how can I explain the water and electricity to my sister when I go back?There is no water or electricity at home, what can I do in the future?

...Actually, Ai Qiang suddenly thought, even if there is some money for utility bills, what is the use of it? Grandma needs money for medicine, surgery costs money for hospitalization, and sister also costs money. Where can she get it? so much money?The money from part-time jobs is just a drop in the bucket, probably not even enough for grandma to be hospitalized for a day.

Ai Qiang had never thought of doing this before, but at this point, she really had nowhere to go. After hesitating for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage to go to the uncle's house and wanted to borrow some money from him.

His uncle's family lives in a high-end residential area in the east of the city. Because the two brothers have a bad relationship, the two families have not seen each other for many years. His uncle basically ignores his biological mother—that is, Ai Qiang's grandmother. This time, Ai Qiang really had no other choice. She knew that going there would be endless cynicism, but she could only bite the bullet and go there.

"Grandma needs the surgery fee, my little sister needs money to go to school, my father is like this now... I really can't afford the money myself, can you lend me some first, so I can get through this time..."

The uncle said slowly: "Qiangqiang, look, this is the reason, it's not that the uncle doesn't want to lend you, but your father is like this, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come out, so the money doesn't mean that he can't get it back if he gives it away. Is that still called borrowing?"

Ai Qiang gritted her teeth: "Uncle, don't forget that grandma is also your real mother, so... can you really leave it all to my dad? Even if my dad didn't have an accident this time, you still have half of the support obligation of."

As soon as his uncle heard it, he yelled: "Look, look at what you said, and blame me? Why, are you threatening me?"

The aunt on the side happened to cut fruit for the family and brought it out, and she also smiled strangely: "The little girl is quite good at filming."

Her cousin also came down from upstairs, and she was dressed as stylishly as ever today, wearing a fashionable little dress and the latest sandals, she laughed when she heard her mother's words, and said, "Why don't people have nothing on hand?" Qian, seeing how tired she is during the day, she can fall asleep during class, who knows what she does at night."

Ai Qiang: "What did you say?"

The cousin said nonchalantly, "I said you can fall asleep from exhaustion during the day, who knows where you go and what you do at night."

Ai Qiang raised her head abruptly, her face turned pale with anger, her aunt covered her mouth and smiled, and the uncle immediately became angry when he heard it: "Is this true or not? You can't talk nonsense, it's about our Ai family after all. family style!"

Ai Qiang said with a cold face, "You don't need to lend me money, but you can't slander me with empty teeth!"

The cousin snorted coldly, raised her head high, picked a piece of mango to eat, and went upstairs by herself.

The uncle was very impatient at this time: "I don't care where you go or how you get the money, that's all your business, anyway, I don't have any money here. Don't waste your time here, go out quickly. "

While talking, she waved her hands to her aunt, with her tone and demeanor, as if she was some kind of pathogen, and she would feel dirty even if she saw her.

The aunt smiled and said without a smile: "You also saw, Qiangqiang, it's not that your uncle and aunt don't welcome you, it's that your uncle's money is tight recently, he's a businessman, you know that, you can go back, anyway, We really can't."

Ai Qiang was in a hurry: "I don't want much, so I will pay grandma for hospitalization, isn't she you—"

"Have you said enough?!" The uncle became furious: "If you don't leave, I will call the police. You have to wait for me to call someone!"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to push her!

Ai Qiang was slender and thin, and was pushed by a middle-aged man who weighed several hundred pounds, and almost fell to the ground. Soon, the iron gate of the uncle's house was mercilessly closed in front of her eyes.

She stood in front of the iron gate in a daze for a long time before starting to walk aimlessly. At this time, the sky was already very late and gloomy, as if it would rain at any time. There were no buses at this time, let alone With a car, Ai Qiang didn't have any money, so even though it was a long way from her uncle's house to her house, she still had to walk all the way back.

She walked for a long time, and the old shoes on her feet were worn out.A few red and swollen toes were exposed. At this time, she was in a remote alley, and a few ragged men around her kept looking at her feet. Ai Qiang couldn't help feeling scared, and shrank her toes into the shoes. For a moment, quicken your pace and want to move forward quickly.

But at this moment, a pair of hands stretched out suddenly, pulling her into the alley.

"Ugh—" Ai Qiang let out a scream, but then her mouth was covered by someone, and she was dragged to the depths of the alley, surrounded by several tall men, she was terrified, and could only bite the man desperately hands, kicked them, beat them with their hands, trying to drive them away.

The man seemed to be irritated by her, he slapped her face several times with his big hand, which made her eyes stare.

But at this time, Ai Qiang couldn't care about it anymore, she got up and ran out desperately, screaming "Help!", hoping that someone would come to save her, rolling and crawling all the way, finally escaped from the alley.

Fortunately, a kind passer-by called the police for her. When she arrived at the police station, Ai Qiang's clothes were disheveled, her face was pale, and her voice was hoarse. When she touched her face, she found that her face was full of tears.

The police reprimanded her: "You have something wrong with yourself. A girl went to such a remote place alone at night and didn't read the latest news. There are many news about girls having accidents. I don't know how to be careful. Okay, this We will take care of the matter, you can go back there and make a record."

Ai Qiang: "..."

When Ai Qiang came out of the police station, it was pouring rain, everyone on the street was wearing umbrellas, and she was the only one walking in the rain in embarrassment, the heavy rain soaked her clothes, but she didn't dare to slow down, Because she knows that there are family members waiting for her at home.

Her shoes were torn, and her clothes were torn, revealing her snow-white skin. From head to toe, she looked like a drowned chicken, and she was extremely embarrassed. Passers-by looked at her strangely along the way, and there were also some men who looked at her wretchedly.

That's enough, when will it be the end of a day like this.

Ivy hugged her body to avoid the man's malicious gaze, and because she was walking in the rain, shivering because of fear and cold, she suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, and now her body was covered with mud.

She saw the curious, indifferent, and gloating eyes of passers-by, but she didn't care at all, she didn't even want to stand up, she just wanted to sit there covered in mud.

Because at that moment, Ai Qiang was completely hopeless and desperate.

Yes, what else can she do, she has no money, no money to pay water and electricity bills, no money to take care of her younger sister, let alone operate on her grandma.

My mother ran away from home since I was a child, and my father ignored her and my sister. The only one who took care of them and cared about them was grandma.

And now, this grandma is dying, and she can't save her.

How can she be so useless?

"Sorry……"

She hugged herself in the rain, whispering softly.

"Sorry……"

Because her strength is so feeble and powerless,

At this moment, Ai Qiang saw an old mobile phone beside her.

This……

The phone was already very old, and the cover was full of scratches. She didn't know what was possessed by it, so she reached out her hand hesitantly, and picked it up.

There is a WeChat account bound to this phone.

That night, Ai Qiang returned home with big and small bags.

The younger sister was very happy when she saw it: "Sister, why did you buy so many things? Wow, there is meat!"

Ai Qiang smiled and patted her head: "I just got the scholarship, I just want to celebrate it, be happy."

"But didn't you say before that those who have received scholarships last year can't get them again this year?"

"So I would like to thank the teachers. It was the head teacher who helped me tell the principal."

Ai Qiang went to steam the lo mei she bought in a pot, took it out for her younger sister to eat, then took another portion and put it in a bowl, and said, "Go and get it for grandma, please, tell her, and we can arrange it right away." hospitalized."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Ai Qiang nodded.

In this way, he only told the old man that he had borrowed money from his uncle, but the old man did not become suspicious. Instead, he was happy that the son who had not been in contact with him for many years finally got in touch with his granddaughter again, and said that he wanted to visit him.

Ai Qiang could only force a smile on her face, and lied to her that she would be sent to her uncle's house when she was discharged from the hospital.

Grandma was very happy to hear that.

Ai Qiang packed up her grandmother's hospital things as quickly as possible, and sent her to the hospital. According to the doctor, grandma's condition is the best and the fastest time for surgery can't be delayed, and there will be a lot of examinations in the early stage, so it's best Don't delay a minute or a second, put everything on the agenda.

In this way, Ai Qiang has to take care of grandma, go to school every day, and go to the police station every now and then, running back and forth for her father's affairs. Falling asleep in class, the teacher was helpless to her like this, said it a few times, seeing that she was still as usual, so he stopped talking, just looked at her and shook his head, as if he was very disappointed with her, after all, Ai Qiang used to She is also the top student in her heart.

In this way, the cousin is even more proud, she often taunts her triumphantly, Ai Qiang has learned not to pay attention to her, just pretending not to hear, only Li Tian, ​​who is very concerned about asking her what's wrong, recently always In this way, did something happen, or something happened at home?
