On the weekend, Xiang Yidan came to Li Ge's bar early in the afternoon.

There was no one in the afternoon, there was soothing light music playing in the bar, and there was a couple drinking coffee and chatting by the window.

Xiang Yi took a can of cold beer, sat carelessly by the air conditioner, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Why are you here so early today?" Li Ge asked casually while counting the goods at the bar.

"As for the West City beer agency I told you about, Xiaoliu will bring someone to sign the contract later. You are in charge of doing business, and you will help check it out."

A few days ago, Xiao Liu went to him and excitedly said that there was a way to make a fortune. It turned out that one of his clients was an agent of the local Xicheng Beer. It's a business opportunity.

But the agency fee plus warehousing and other messy expenses cost almost 10 yuan. He couldn't afford that much by himself, so he and Xiang Yi discussed it as a partnership.

Xiang Yi doesn't know much about business, but he has been in Li Ge's bar for several years, but he knows that the market for Xicheng Beer is good. , The 10 yuan a year can pay back the capital.

"Have you discussed it with your brother?" Brother Li asked.

"I want to tell him when I make money, so that he won't worry." Xiang Yi's biggest wish now is to get rid of poverty as soon as possible, so that his brother will not have to work so hard.

Just as he was talking, Xiao Liu led a middle-aged fat man with balding hair into the room, "Let me introduce you, this is Boss Li."

Since everything that should be discussed before has been negotiated, the three sat down and signed the contract quickly.

Xiang Yi and Xiao Liu agreed to pay [-] each, and he had already transferred Xiao Liu's part directly through mobile banking. Xiang Yi asked them to sit down for a while, and he went to the bank on the corner to withdraw money.

Xiang Yi entered the bank with the passbook in his arms, feeling that the passbook was extremely heavy in his hand.

Not many people use passbooks these days. He and Xiangdong opened this passbook after paying off all their debts at the end of last year. The two brothers put money in it together, trying to save enough for the down payment as soon as possible.

So, he actually brought out the passbook quietly behind his brother's back. He was very sad, and he only hoped that this decision would not make him regret it.

In the past half a year, the two brothers have saved almost [-] yuan, and now they are all used for business, Xiang Yi is very worried.

However, when the teller told Xiang Yi that there was no money in the passbook, he almost jumped out of his seat in surprise.

"Impossible, take a closer look, is there something wrong?" Xiang Yi broke out in a cold sweat.

But in the end, he was told that all the money had been withdrawn a few days ago, so he hurriedly called Xiang Dong, who admitted after a long silence that he had withdrawn the money.

Xiang Yi just told Xiao Liu that there was something wrong with the funds, and then hurried home.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, Xiangdong used money, he would always tell him, not to mention that Xiangdong was used to being frugal in the past few years, he wished he could break one dollar into two and take away [-] yuan at once, logically speaking Say no.

Originally, it was fine for his own brother to use the money, but he calculated the time, the day Xiang Dong withdrew the money was the day he met his ex-girlfriend, he remembered that Xiang Dong was not in a good mood that day...

When Xiang Yi got home, Xiang Dong had already closed his stall.

He rushed in the door angrily, but seeing Xiang Dong's dark face and those eyes with vicissitudes, he couldn't say any more questions.

"Brother, Xiaoliu and I want to partner up to be the agent of Xicheng Beer in the district. Each of us will contribute [-] yuan. Just now you said on the phone that you took the money. Did you go to buy Uncle Wu's store? If so, I'll just tell Xiao Liu that he's looking for someone else to join his gang." Xiang Yi sat down, calmly.

Shaking his head to the east, he took out a cigarette and lit it. After a long silence, he said, "I lent her the money."

"Chen Sujing?" Xiang Yiming knew the answer, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Xiangdong nodded.

Xiang Yi's heart suddenly sank. It was not the first time that Chen Sujing asked Xiang Dong to borrow money. It could be said that he borrowed money, but he never repaid it. Xiang Yi also knew that his brother always gave, not lent.

In the old house, only the electric fan above the head squeaked and squeaked, and no one spoke for a while. There was no embarrassment between the two brothers, it just added helplessness.

Speaking of Chen Sujing, Xiang Yi's impression of her was still five years ago.

At that time, he had just started college, and Xiang Dong and He Li's food stall business was flourishing. On Xiang Yi's birthday, Xiang Dong personally cooked a large table of sumptuous meals for his birthday celebration.

It was also on that day that he saw Chen Sujing for the first time, a woman with an elegant and quiet name, but actually beautiful and enchanting, who was introduced to Dong as his girlfriend.

"Yiyi, you are eighteen, you have officially become an adult, you should study hard, and when you graduate, brother should be able to open three branches, and we brothers will no longer have to suffer. At that time, you will come to help brother , your sister-in-law will give birth to a little nephew for you, and life will be complete..."

Xiang Dong drank a lot of wine that day, but Xiang Yi always remembered how happy his brother was when he said these words with Chen Sujing in his arms. It was the first time he saw Xiang Dong's bright smile since he was a child.

But life often doesn't go according to plan.

Just when Xiangdong paid the down payment for the house and was about to get married, he was drunk and drove over and killed someone. He was in a drunk driving accident and was sentenced to prison.

But at the first time when the incident happened, Li Ge mediated and negotiated a private agreement with the family of the deceased, promising to compensate them 100 million, and the other party would not call the police.

At that time, Xiangdong didn't have much savings at all, and he couldn't make up 100 million even after selling the house. He Li couldn't bear to see his brother face prison, so the two made up their minds, sold the food stall, and Xiangdong took his own part, and finally made up the money. Once you have enough money, you can settle the matter.

That is, from then on, Xiang Dong gave up drinking.

When this happened, Xiang Yi was still in school and didn't know what happened. When Xiang Dong told him later, he only said that he had lost some money due to the car accident and that the food stall business was not doing well, so he took advantage of the situation. .

After that, Xiangdong was depressed for a while, but Xiangyi knew that his brother was an optimistic and positive optimist, and what made him depressed was not the loss of money, but Chen Sujing broke up with him because of this matter.

With no house, no career, Xiang Dong had nothing but a young brother who was an oil bottle, Chen Sujing resolutely left him.

For more than four years, Xiang Dong has never had a girlfriend, and Chen Sujing has always held an important position in his heart.

"Brother, she's married and even has children. She just treats you like a cash machine."

"She hasn't had a good life in the past few years. Her husband is alcoholic and domestically violent. If it wasn't for what happened to me when I was young and arrogant, she would be able to stay with me well, get married and have children, and she wouldn't have to suffer like this. She It's not easy..." Every time Xiang Dong mentioned her, his voice choked up.

"Has it been easy for you these few years..." Xiang Yi endured it, but he still didn't continue.

His brother's logic is wrong, but he couldn't bear to hit his brother.Chen Sujing's current life is her own choice, what does it have to do with his brother.

Xiang Dong just kept sighing and apologized to him, but he didn't say what Chen Sujing was borrowing money for.

After a long time, Xiang Yi said, "It's okay, brother." He got up and poured a glass of water for Xiang Dong, "Brother, I'm a little hungry, let's make fried noodles."

"Okay." Xiang Dong stubbed out his cigarette, got up and went to the kitchen.

Forget it, isn't it just a beer agency right? If you don't do it, you can't do it. His brother has been a father and a mother for him since he was a child, and he has been a lot more emaciated in the past few years. The 35-year-old man looks like a vicissitudes of life. There are more than 40 people.Even though he was only 12 years older than him, he looked like his father.

He really loves his brother, but if this matter can bring great psychological comfort to Xiangdong, he admits, money, just earn more, can the two brothers still be trapped by life?

Not long after, the delicious Zha Jiang Noodles were served.

Before Xiang Yi had time to eat, he received a call from his cousin, saying that his aunt had fainted suddenly.

The two of them threw down their chopsticks and rushed to the hospital.
