Chapter 19 Chapter 19

She goes into the bathroom.There are lots of small hotel soaps next to the bathtub.The washstand is also full of small shampoos, body lotions, disposable razors, and disposable combs.What's the use of these little rags?Presumably she, Xu Wanjiang, would have done the same thing ten years ago, taking advantage of petty gains, accumulating useless little things that were a pity to discard, and finally leaving them here to ashes.If she didn't live with Humphrey, she might still be like Hong Min today.But Hong Min stayed in so many cheap hotels? . ... She read the name of the inn on a handful of combs, and thought, maybe the old women gave him these rags as gifts.She will never pursue him.Is she Xu Wanjiang clean?

Hong Min is back.His face was swollen from too much sleep. "I'm going back." He said, "Jiuhua will help me clean up the things, and I'll take them to him when I'm done." "When are you leaving?" Wan Jiang asked.If she hadn't rushed over in a flash of brains, he would have left her without saying hello. "Tomorrow," he said. "...The day after tomorrow." Sure enough, you are avoiding my debt. "The ticket is for tomorrow." "Leave the day after tomorrow." Tears flowed down, and his face became more swollen in her vision.

"..." He shook his head. "I can go with you the day after tomorrow." He came up and hugged her.She put her face on his shoulder, sobbing.She knew in her heart that she would not go with him the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, not at all.Whether it was golf clubs from a flea market or a disposable comb from a flophouse that brought her to this bitter end, she didn't know.Perhaps from the moment he borrowed money from the old woman, the ending was formed. "Don't mess around, you're fine here..." "I want to go with you!"

"What use am I? Ignorance, stupidity..." She bites hard on his shoulder.He said nothing.She scratched his face and spat at him, "Then you plan to leave our mother and son behind and run for your own life? Don't you know that you have a debt and a debtor? You ran away and asked me to pay off the debt, right?... If If I don't come, you will sneak away like a thief, and you don't care about our life or death!..." She clearly knew that he planned to leave quietly because he had no face to see her. "I'm going back to Beijing to do some business. When I have money, I can buy a two-bedroom house. ... Remember Chen Liang from our group? The company is very big, and he keeps telling me to go..."

Unable to listen any longer, she turned around, picked up a golf club, and hit him.He never fought back when she attacked her many years ago.So he stood and let her hit him.It knocked him down to the ground.This height is comfortable for hitting, and she just swung the stick with her eyes darkened.In the end, the stick also emptied, and he was found to have fallen.Panting for breath, she thought, it's nothing serious, I'll go to the kitchen to turn on the gas.If you want to escape the debt, everyone escapes together, if you want to leave, I will go with you... ... She blinked her eyes and thought sadly, such a heroic event could only happen in a hallucination.More than ten years ago, she did the same thing.Now I can only do this: wipe away the tears,

go home.Hong Min drove her off.Along the way, the two comforted each other, saying that as long as they don't die, there is always hope. When she got home, she told Humphrey that she met an acquaintance from mainland China, and the two went to the breakfast shop to have breakfast together.She thought, until tomorrow at the latest, you don't have to bother to question me, I will recruit everything in the letter. By the evening of the next day, the registered letter had still not arrived.Wan Jiang asked Renren if she had lost the letter, and Renren said she could swear.So she wrote the wrong address in a panic?The careless Renren filled out the wrong registration form?Something went wrong at the post office?Renren couldn't care less about talking to her at this moment, she was all about negotiating with Humphrey.

Wan Jiang was watching the "negotiation" in the kitchen. Renren hugged one of Su's cats and said, "Can I borrow five hundred yuan?" "no." "The veterinarian said that as long as the tumor is removed, it may survive. If it is not removed, it will die soon." "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that the operation will cost a lot of money. Do you think it's worth spending that much money on this cat?" "...that's my business." "It's my business whether to lend you money or not." Renren stroked the hypothermic cat one after another.She raised her eyes and stared at Humphrey. "What if I beg you?"

"Please see." "You turned out to be so cruel." "That's your opinion." "Su must have the same opinion as I do." Humphrey suddenly looked away from the screen.He looked deeply at the girl, and said, "You see what is going on with Sue? Think about it, will I let another sou out of this house?" The girl didn't understand what the old stepfather meant for a moment."I beg you," she said. The girl suddenly gave a seductive smile, and soon realized that the smile was a little low, and blushed.Fifteen-year-old girls have never been humble. "Even if you have done me a great favor. Even if you saved me."

"Sue was also four years old when she came here. Look, can I save her? I tried everything, but in the end I handed her over to the Alcoholics Rehabilitation Organization. Sue may not be saved in this life. Is she in pain? ? No pain. The one who suffers is her stepfather, me." Humphrey's pain was deep and real.Ordinarily he shouldn't have exposed this to a fifteen-year-old girl, but he didn't want to be a cruel person in the girl's eyes. The girl hangs her head.That night, the cat died.Renren stayed alone in Su's basement.Wan Jiang was worried, and came down to accompany her in a thick fleece.The two sat on the couch facing each other in silence, and the cat lay on its side between them with all four paws outstretched, flattened even more.At four o'clock in the morning, the cat spilled a small bubble of urine and swallowed.When Renren was walking towards the yard with the cat in his arms, the parrot woke up with its head poking out from under its wings and purring indistinctly.From the time the cat was in critical condition, its partner, the three-legged cat, had no idea where to go.Wan Jiang told Ren Ren that if a cat is a three-pointed soul, the three-legged cat should not come back, and see his own fate in advance on its companion.Wan Jiang didn't know where this statement came from, or whether it made sense.

One day after the cat died, Wan Jiang found a rabbit had given birth.Renren suddenly recovered, and every day when he got home, he ran to Su's basement, dreaming with his eyes watching the eight cubs sucking and sucking the mother rabbit's milk.She looked at it for a while, gave a long sigh, and looked again.The phone rang several times, but she couldn't wake up.The call was made by a man, and he called "heart" when he came up.After listening for a while, Wan Jiang understood that the "heart" he called was Su.Su also has a man who regards her as a "heart and darling". Even though her hair is rolled out, her nose is rosy, and she wears ninety-nine cents of lipstick, it does not prevent her from being a "heart and darling".Just like the rabbits, living under the bed, they also have their happiness and joy, and they multiply and grow in the same way.

The registered mail still hasn't arrived.Watching Humphrey go to win the letter every evening, Wan Jiang felt a little fearless and more numb like a bullet waiting to be shot.When he sat at the bar and opened all the mail with a silver knife and asked, "How's dinner going?" she knew the day was over and the execution was postponed. At half past nine she smelled the fragrance of Humphrey again.She felt so incredible that she started brushing her teeth and taking a shower. Dozens of boys and girls are having a party in the yard next door.Music resounds throughout the city. She dried herself and dabbed on some perfume as well.Hong Min is at home now, wearing shoes and smoking a cigarette, looking like a typical heartbroken man. The party of boys and girls is heating up.No matter how heartbroken you are, people still have parties.
