Chapter 13 Chapter 13

"They invited me, and I can't even make time for it." With a playful smile, he leaned up and kissed her cheek loudly, leaving behind a faint smell of smoke. "With a computer, Jiuhua won't watch TV series at night. I asked him to enroll in computer classes. What kind of shit are you? Watching him give salads for a lifetime?" She pulled his ears again, and he grinned again pretending to be in pain. Two months ago, he borrowed money from her, saying that he wanted to buy a house to save Jiuhua and him from spending money on renting a house.Neither he nor Jiuhua had much savings, so they could only borrow money from Wan Jiang.At first he only said to buy a one-bedroom apartment, but later he told Wanjiang that it would be more worthwhile to buy those detached houses that were in disrepair or that had been hit by fire. The ruins were turned into palaces.Wan Jiang naturally hoped that the father and son would have a decent home so that the whole family would not be torn down too much.

"Remember, ask Jiuhua to sign the back of the check. You must not sign it. The bank will send the check back at the end of the month, and the old man will be finished if he sees it." "The old man often checks your money?" "Tell you that you don't understand either." She reached out to unbutton his coat, put the check in his shirt pocket, found two pennies inside, took it out and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.Her hands were his home as before, and she was as familiar as ever. "That's all I have. If it's not enough, I'll go to the pawn shop. Or I'll have to dance with someone." She pretended to grit her teeth, and stared at him viciously from low to high. "I'll kill you if you lose the check."

"How much does the old man give you per month?" Hong Min stroked her neck with his hand. "Three thousand yuan a night." The two giggled together.Wanjiang didn't want to tell him that all her savings were from her cooking, and that Hanfri would give her 12,000 as a present on her birthday and Christmas. "You have to learn to read bank statements in the future, always rely on those old women, and be careful who falls in love with you." She pulled him to sit down, with their heads touching each other. "Someone fell in love with me a long time ago."

"'Bucket Waist' or 'Three Chin'?" "More than two?" "That's the one who just pulled the skin." "They all pulled their skins." "Everyone loves you?" "There is light and there is darkness." Wan Jiang stared at him, leaning back pretending to be heartbroken.Hong Min pulled her into his arms, and the two of them were having fun again, completely unaware that their playfulness hadn't improved in the past twenty years, and their taste was still very low-level.Wan Jiang knew that that kind of thing couldn't happen, and it was an old woman who shaved her head when it happened.Just to keep his job, he will not be different among the old women; he has to keep an absolute equidistant distance from every old woman: jokes are equally hot, dirty jokes are equally presumptuous, accepting their gifts and inferiority. When invited by a restaurant, you have to have a bowl of water.

They leaned on each other, talking sweet nonsense twenty years ago, and suddenly found that the sun was already high outside the forest.The mist formed small round water droplets on the leaves, and their hair was wet in strands.Hong Min pulled Wanjiang up, saying that he had to catch the ten o'clock dance class.She was tying her shoelaces, and as soon as she urged him, she immediately tore off the tied shoelaces.Once in Beihai, as long as he urged her, she would make trouble like this.He also squatted down to tie her shoelaces as he did in the past. "Isn't it also for your own good? The old man is so suspicious."

It's like he's coaxing her.She simply kicked off the other shoe.Somehow she had a sense of confidence, as if buying a house had given her the illusion that she was secretly running her own home; her real home was going from broken to whole. "Well, you won't recognize me if you take my money." "Come on, it's cool. It's so wet in here." "When did you father and son live a normal life without me? You can't even pay the deposit for buying a house!" "Yes, yes, our father and son are fucking useless. Don't move!" He picked up the shoes she kicked out and put them on her feet.

"Admitting is trash?" "Waste waste." He drove her home, hitting red lights all the way.She kept pulling his hand, looking at the watch on his wrist.He just laughed.She asked him what he was laughing at.He doesn't say.He was laughing at her hard mouth, afraid that she was still afraid of the old man.In fact, she understood his smile.She was indeed afraid of Humphrey's insightful gaze and his silent punishment.On a rainy day two months ago, Hanfrui discovered that the purpose of Wanjiang's long-distance running was to meet Jiuhua. His punishment was not to go out with Wanjiang in the morning, but to take a long look at the wall clock when Wanjiang returned home.The strange thing is that Wanjiang gradually shortened the meeting with Jiuhua, and often told him not to stop to wait for her the next day, and not to buy soy milk.Humphrey's demeanor is very good, but he still let Wanjiang understand that he has the absolute upper hand on the road, and he is also generous: I know you are making troubles, but I will let you go.But Wan Jiang also understands that if the old lawyer knows that Hong Min is waiting at the end of the long-distance race, it will be a serious matter.

At a traffic light intersection, she looked at his watch again.He reassured her that the watch was two minutes ahead.She said two minutes sooner is useless.She also said that this is some kind of broken car, even the clock is broken.He said that when we have money, we can buy a Cadillac.She said it's not good, it's not practical, it's better than "Lexus".Neither of them realized that what they were doing was already a couple's plan. The car stopped two intersections away.He watched her go uphill without looking back.At the bend, he thought it was time for her to turn around.She really turned her head back, like she did ten years ago, turning her head towards him over a flying sheet.At that time, she was holding the four-year-old Renren in her hand, and she turned around like this to see if there was any way out.He hid behind the dilapidated and beautiful curtains, watching Wan Jiang get into the car with no way out, tears dripping down the front of his clothes.

The gardener who came to tidy up the garden said: The rose has a disease.It sounds like the disease is a flower embryo that divides too fast and too much, which is somewhat similar to the division of cancer cells.When a cell divides more than a hundred times, it becomes cancer, so this kind of multi-headed rose can be called "flower cancer".Wan Jiang nodded to the gardener.She has lost her mind, thinking, "flower cancer" is not bad at all.The "treatment plan" and cost mentioned by the gardener below, Wan Jiang listened half-heartedly. Recently, everyone noticed that Wan Jiang's expression was a little strange.Sometimes there will be a smile without margin.Most of the laughs are when people are talking in the middle of the conversation.As a result, the person who spoke was very uncomfortable, and the beat of the music seemed to hit half of the waist.For example, Humphrey said: "Wan Jiang, look at Renren's school uniform, she's been secretly shortening her skirts all the time. This can't be done..." When he saw her, he suddenly smiled, which made him worry that his face might touch ketchup . "Hey, you wrote this check? How did you write such a large amount of money? What does he need so much money for?" He pushed the bank's monthly statement and a cashed check in front of her.He really wanted to shake his index finger in front of her eyes to tell her not to be distracted.

She looked at the number "16,000" on the check.It would be a nice home, with two bedrooms, a dining room, and a living room.Louie's hotel often auctions old furniture, and it's cheap to spruce up the house.Jiuhua and Hong Min are both willing to do things and manage it carefully, so it won't be too poor.The cold is also a place to stand.Wan Jiang thought, I am doing such a big thing.Thinking of this, she smiled.All the people who do big things are as indifferent as her, with a tired and good-natured smile. "What does he need such a large sum of money for?" Jiuhua's signature was on the back of the check.

Wan Jiang gradually came to his senses.The first reaction is regret: why doesn't she have a brain?If she checked her email regularly, the bank documents would not have fallen into Humphrey's hands.The next reaction was resentment: Humphrey was almost impossible to guard against, and he couldn't do it a little slower, so he made the decision for her.Opening mail should also be her master. "He needs money urgently," she said, casually.Even she herself could tell that this was a faltering sentence, tantamount to not saying it.It is better not to say.Not to say it wouldn't be so suspicious. "It's difficult for him to turn around for a while, so borrow it from me." "What's the use of not asking him?" "He said he would pay me back soon." Wanjiang felt that Hanfrui had seen through everything.She suddenly felt relieved: Alright, let's make it clear now, and you won't have to lie or make troubles.If you press me again, I'll give it a full showdown.If you say that I am unreasonable and immoral, just say so.You think me and my ex-husband played a ten-year "fairy dance", so be it.If you think you have to take me to court, go to a court.I admit it all. Humphrey saw the middle-aged woman's eyes sparkle, and he didn't know what made her look so bright.What is it that calls her heart so?He said slowly: "Accordingly, I have no right to intervene in the affairs between you. It is your money and your son, right? You are very troubled, mother." When he touched something, his eyes suddenly hurt. When Wan Jiang said this, his nasal cavity felt hot.She said in her heart not to shed tears, not to shed tears, but the tears still fell.How to say Humphrey is also a well-educated person. "You gave money to your own son, and I have nothing to say. What I want to say is that Sue's problems started with money. The first time I found out that she was drinking, she borrowed money from me. That year she One year younger than Jiuhua." Hearing this, she suddenly lost her tears.She sniffed hard and looked at Humphrey: "Are you taking Jiuhua and Subi?" "How many people who borrowed money didn't use the money to do stupid things?" "Our Jiuhua won't drink in this life." Wan Jiang said, "We are not that kind, and we don't have that kind of blessing. So don't worry, you don't want to watch Jiuhua eat, drink, whore and gamble in this life." She reached out and took the envelope Then he folded the bank statement.The movement made the paper squeak, and there was nothing to swear, it was all in the squeak. "Okay." Humphrey looked at her: Is she her original form in ten years, or is she her truth in front of her eyes? "Ask him to return the money next month." "This is my money." Wan Jiang poked his finger heavily on the check, "He's still my business!" Humphrey didn't seem to hear, and said: "Next month, he must pay back the money." Wan Jiang's self-confidence and composure made him want to laugh wildly.She knew that her image in Humphrey's mind had always been good, and now she was destroying that image.She didn't even wear a bra today, and her hair wasn't washed or combed. Everything was working together to ruin that good image. "The money is mine, so don't be insane; when I'm happy, I just burn money to play, and you watch me play." Humphrey kept his eyes straight, watching her gesticulating.He had quarreled with her in the past ten years, but it was never as violent as this. The woman named Xu Wanjiang had never torn her face apart like this.Something must have happened, and Humphrey was struggling to see through it. "Yes, your money is yours." Humphrey said, "Even my money is yours, and half of my house and car are yours." Wan Jiang thought, why bother.It's so handsome.You are actually saying: since my money and property are yours, everything about you is also mine, dare to try.
