unexpected gap

There are guests when they enter the door. Wu Qiaoxiu invites them to sit casually. She wants to go to the kitchen to boil some water for them, but she hasn't come back for more than a month. There is no hot water at home.

Han Shaohui saw that she was struggling and looked like she was going to collapse at any time, so he was worried that something might happen, so he stepped forward to help.Wu Qiaoxiu really felt that she was still not feeling well, so she didn't refuse and thanked her.

When Han Shaohui found the kettle, cleaned it, filled it with water, plugged it in and came out, Chen Xing was the only one in the living room.

"She's gone to the bedroom." Chen Xing guessed what he would ask, and took the initiative to answer.Han Shaohui nodded and began to look around.

This place is not far from the city center, and there is no property management in the old community.Now the government is carrying out planning reforms. This area is within the scope of demolition. Many houses in the surrounding area have been moved, and some illegal buildings at the entrance of the community have been demolished in half.The area of ​​this house should be less than [-] square meters by visual inspection. The living room is very small, and all the furniture looks very old. There are still half-destroyed student certificates hanging on the wall, as if they were left after being torn apart. There are several photo frames on a cabinet.

When Han Shaohui approached, the photo frame was covered with a thick layer of dust, including the top of the counter.He looked at the photos one by one, and the photos were all group photos of two people. He knew the man in it. He was Su Jin's father. From young to middle-aged, it seemed that one photo was taken at a time, and there was also a wedding photo that was quite large. .

"Why is there no picture of Su Jin? At least there should be a family portrait." Chen Xing followed him to look, a little strange.

Su Jin has completely fallen out with the family. His parents don't recognize him as a son, so there is no place for him in the family.Han Shaohui's heart throbbed. He didn't know and didn't share the pressure and scolding that Su Jin suffered when he came out to his family. He must make up for it this time.

"He is here." Han Shaohui clicked on Wu Qiaoxiu's belly in the wedding photo. Su Jin once said that his parents were pregnant before marriage, and they had him when they got married.

Chen Xing snorted, Han Shaohui was about to look at the wall where the certificates were pasted, but the photo frame fell down with a snap, revealing a small photo frame behind it.The glass side of the photo frame was broken, and it was placed upside down.

Han Shaohui reached out to pick it up and wiped off the dust on it.It was a family photo, probably taken when Su Jingang was admitted to university. He was still holding the acceptance letter in his hand, just like back then, smiling brightly, and the parents standing beside him were also full of pride.

"What are you doing! Who told you to touch my house casually!"

The sudden scolding made Chen Xing's heart tremble in fright. He didn't expect that a person who didn't have the slightest energy just now would yell so loudly.

Han Shaohui on the side was very calm. He glanced at Wu Qiaoxiu who was trembling with anger, put the photo frame back on the cabinet, and straightened it.

Wu Qiaoxiu strode forward, snapped the photo frame upside down, stuffed the collected money into Han Shaohui's hand, pushed him out, and said, "This is the money owed to you, should you count the amount, right? leave."

"Auntie, you misunderstood, we didn't come to ask you to pay back the money." Chen Xing hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"I don't care what you guys want to do, I don't have anything. Leave immediately after counting the money." After Wu Qiaoxiu finished speaking, she put away all the photo frames on the cabinet, carried a bunch of things into the bedroom again, and closed the door deafeningly.

Chen Xing looked at Han Shaohui, as expected of a family, Su Jin's temper must have come from his mother, she refused so simply, now it is impossible to persuade her to accept Su Jin.

"What should we do now?" He asked Han Shaohui.

"You don't have to follow me anymore, help me find out why Su Jin's father passed away, and Aunt Wu's living conditions and illness in recent years." Han Shaohui paused, and then said: "Before you investigate, go back first." Home, Fang Qing should be worried if she didn't go back all day yesterday."

Mentioning Fang Qing, Chen Xing laughed, last night she made countless phone calls to ask about his whereabouts, and scolded Han Shaohui countless times along the way.

"What about you? When she comes out and sees that you are still there, she will definitely throw you out."

"We'll talk about it when she drives away." Han Shaohui put the money in the drawer of the cabinet, rolled up his sleeves and went into the bathroom.

Chen Xing was curious, and followed him, and saw that he found a towel and a water basin, turned on the faucet and started to turn on the water. He knew what he was going to do at a glance, and couldn't help but grow his mouth in surprise. I haven't seen him in the past few years. People who have always been aloof can also do housework, this fawning...

"Are you trying to help or are you going to keep watching?"

"No...then I'll go first."

"Wait." Han Shaohui stopped washing the towels and called him, "If Su Jin comes to you and wants to know the address of Auntie, don't tell him anything. But you can pretend to check for him."

Chen Xing was puzzled, "It didn't do anything bad, why didn't you let him know."

"It's not the time yet."

He didn't say any more, so Chen Xing didn't continue to ask. He probably guessed that Su Jin wouldn't get any good results if he came now, and he might be kicked out of the house as well. It would be better if he didn't come.So he gave Han Shaohui the keys to the car, and took a taxi home. Anyway, the family had a car, and the one he was driving now belonged to Bai Muyan.

Han Shaohui connected the water and took the basin to the living room.The sanitation of this house should have not been done for a long time, all places are covered with a thick layer of dust, and some places even have mildew.He took it upon himself to clean up the moldy things and plan to throw them away later, and then began to wipe the furniture.

This is the place where Su Jin has lived for nearly 20 years. You can feel that it used to be a warm family of three, but now it is so deserted that there is no popularity at all. If there is no Han Chengzhang Those things didn’t happen, he came back with Su Jin to face his family, and tried to solve the problem together, would the result be different?Will Su Jin not become homeless?

Di——, the long whistle interrupted Han Shaohui's thoughts. He went to the kitchen to unplug the electricity, and was about to pour water with the kettle when Wu Qiaoxiu's angry voice came from behind: "Why haven't you left yet? Is it money?" If the number is wrong, tell me how much it is, and I will supply it to you immediately!"

"I've put the money just now in the drawer of the cabinet, auntie, I'll leave after I finish these things."

"I don't need it, put my things down!" Wu Qiaoxiu ordered, "Who the hell are you and why are you looking for me? You will never help me for no reason."

"Auntie, don't get excited. I don't have any purpose." Han Shaohui paused, and added: "I'm just Su Jin's friend."

Wu Qiaoxiu was stunned, the scar that had never healed was suddenly uncovered, the pain made her heart twitch.

For so many years, no one has called this name in front of her. All the time, the person who has been replaced is "his gay son", so that she is in a trance, whether her son is really called this name.

That year, her proud son came back suddenly, saying that he fell in love with a man, who would not listen to him beating or scolding no matter what he said, and begged his parents to understand and forgive him.

How could she understand, how could she forgive!Her favorite son likes a man!She hates, hates the man who brought Su Jin down, if it wasn't for him, how could Su Jin, who has always been normal, have such thoughts, how could Su Jin, who has always been so filial and obedient, would rather turn against his parents than admit his mistakes up!

It has been several years without any news from him, and she has completely given up on the fact that she never gave birth to this son, but now someone has come to her door. If she knew that this man knew Su Jin, she would not accept his help anyway, nor would she accept his help. No one will come in.

"I don't know Su Jin, you leave my house immediately, or I will call the police!"

"Aunt……"

"Get out! Get out of my house, you hear me, get out—"

As Wu Qiaoxiu said, she grabbed the handle of the kettle and pulled it so hard that the full water was thrown out of the spout.Han Shaohui was unprepared, all the water splashed onto his feet and poured into his shoes, bursts of water steamed up, making him jump up, and hurriedly tried to take off his shoes and pour water.

Wu Qiaoxiu didn't give him this chance at all, stepped forward and approached a few steps, threatening: "Will you go or not, if you don't go, I'll just pour boiling water!"

"Calm down, I'll go right away." Han Shaohui saw that she was holding up the kettle and was about to come. He was afraid that she would hurt him, and he didn't bother to empty the water in his shoes. He took a few steps back, exited the kitchen and left.

As soon as he left, Wu Qiaoxiu's spirit collapsed with a click like a closed door, and she fell to the ground, crying loudly with her chest hanging down.

Han Shaohui took off his heel socks to check the situation after he got into the car. On such a hot day, his foot was still steaming and glowing red, and the scalded blisters were worn away when he walked around. It was hot and numb and didn't feel pain, but now when it cools down, I feel hot when I move.

Fortunately, he didn't wear shoes anymore, and started the car to go to the hospital. He needed some treatment to make the injury heal as soon as possible. He didn't want to be able to walk barefoot tomorrow.

Not long after the car started, his cell phone rang. He glanced at Su Jin, but he didn't answer it right away. He only picked it up when the cell phone rang for the second time.

"Su Jin, what do you want from me?"

"I want you to help me find my mother's address." Su Jin directly stated his purpose. He is not familiar with the place here, and it doesn't matter if he has no money. Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack. Mr. Chen from the restaurant for help, also went to the seafood restaurant to ask, but the waiter was unwilling to tell him, so he had to come to Han Shaohui.

"I'm in a hurry recently, and I don't have time to help you. How about I give you Chen Xing's phone number, you can find him, and I'll say hello to him later."

Su Jin readily accepted this suggestion. In fact, he didn't want to see them, but he was forced to do so.A few minutes after hanging up the phone, he received a text message from Han Shaohui, and immediately dialed the number in the text message.
