Trivial Skin of Rebirth

Ye Jiawen and Xiang Qingyun went straight out to sell Malatang after dinner, and came home dripping with sweat at 11:30. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Xiang Qingyun's mother sitting in the living room smoking a big cigarette. , the windows were not even opened, and the room was so choking that Ye Jiawen coughed endlessly as soon as he stepped in.

Putting down his things, Xiang Qingyun ran to open the window and asked, "Mom, why are you here? Have you eaten your bowl of rice?"

Xiang mother said: "I ordered everything, I ate early. I have nothing to do, I just came to see you." She smelled the pungent Mala Tang smell on Xiang Qingyun's body, and wrinkled her nose: "What is this smell? .”

Ye Jiawen said first, "Auntie, this is Malatang, a Sichuan snack. Qingyun and I went to sell supper just now."

"Malatang?" Xiang Mu smashed the shredded tobacco in the pipe, and took two mouthfuls: "Selling supper? Are you making money?"

Xiang Qingyun bowed his head: "Yes."

Xiangmu took two puffs of cigarettes: "It's not easy for you." Sighed, "Qingtian and Liu Sha came to see you in the afternoon, and they went back to the hotel when you were not here. Let me see, if you don't come home so late, It turned out to be making money.”

Ye Jiawen was secretly proud, but on the surface, he ran respectfully and poured a cup of hot water for Xiang's mother.Xiang Qingyun said in surprise, "What are they doing here?"

Mother Xiang shook her head: "It's nothing, I just came to see you. When you come back, I'll go back."

Xiang Qingyun said that it was too late and wanted to stay with Xiang's mother for the night. Xiang's mother thought their place was too small and had no place to sleep, so she went back to the hotel, and Xiang Qingyun sent her back. I jogged 800 meters downstairs and came back to take a shower and sleep.

The next day, Ye Jiawen met a neighbor on the opposite door, and took the initiative to chat with him for a few words. Sure enough, he heard from the neighbor that Xiang Qingtian and his wife had a quarrel with the taxi driver yesterday afternoon. The two quarreled fiercely when they didn't agree with each other, and then they almost fought.Xiang Qingtian told the taxi driver that this is the place where his elder brother lives, and that he will pay him when he comes back. He was scolded bloody by the taxi driver, saying that he is such a big man and his wife has a big belly, so come out and take a ride. You still have to ask your brother for money for the car, why don't you take a shitty car without money?The two almost fought, but finally Liu Sha persuaded them to fight, got in the car and took them to the hotel, and asked their parents to come out and pay.

After going back, Ye Jiawen asked Xiang Qingyun, and Xiang Qingyun also heard something about yesterday from the three aunts and eight aunts in the community, he only smoked and didn't talk.

Ye Jiawen sighed: "I heard from your brother that he only brought money for a few meals when he came this time. You probably want us to pay for the childbirth of your siblings."

Xiang Qingyun still smoked and did not speak.

Ye Jiawen sat over, held his smoking wrist and brought it in front of her, took a puff of his half-smoked cigarette, exhaled slowly, and said in a very calm tone: "They can't leave immediately after giving birth. , Pregnant women have to finish confinement before they can travel long distances, and they have to live for at least two or three months. I asked my friend today how much the hospital will cost, and it will save thousands of dollars. If it is a little better, it will be better It’s going to be over ten thousand.” His tone was just a calm statement of the facts, “Let’s not talk about the debt we owe, we just rented the shop, and we have no liquid funds in our hands except the borrowed money, so we can’t get so much money.”

Xiang Qingyun stubbed out the cigarette butt, rubbed his hands on his face, buried his face in his palms, and said after a long time: "I didn't expect this to happen. Qingtian asked me to give him 1000 yuan today."

Ye Jiawen frowned suddenly, and forced himself to stretch out: "Did you give it?"

Xiang Qingyun said: "I don't have that much money with me, so I gave him two hundred first."

Ye Jiawen took a deep breath, and refrained from talking about Xiang Qingtian and his wife.When Xiang Qingyun smoked, he smoked with Xiang Qingyun.When Xiang Qingyun walked to the balcony, he followed, and slowly patted Xiang Qingyun on the back to comfort him.

After a long time, Xiang Qingyun finally said in a low voice with a little annoyance: "Why is he like this?" As a good old man, he is not completely indifferent, but he is willing to speculate on others with the greatest kindness. I just endured it, and I swallowed my grievances and digested them myself.This kind of people are always willing to swallow other people's badness into their stomachs, and all they say are good things, so Xiang Qingyun's ability to say this sentence has already suppressed a lot of dissatisfaction.

Ye Jiawen said slowly: "Are they having such a difficult time? Can't afford to have children? Have you ever told them that we are having a difficult time?"

Xiang Qingyun smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you say it? I said it in front of your face, and you heard it too."

Ye Jiawen asked him, "Then what should we do now?"

"What should I do?" Xiang Qingyun stubbed out the cigarette butt, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I'll think of a way, everyone is here, so I can't just ignore it."

They are sure you can't ignore it!Ye Jiawen roared in his heart, don't you care about them, will they die?Your honesty and kindness are just being used by others!But Ye Jiawen knew he couldn't argue with him.After being reborn once, he has broadened his mind, and quarreling can't solve any problems. Doesn't Xiang Qingyun himself know that his brother is not good?Do people need to wake up to understand the truth?No, he is not mentally handicapped, he just has a low bottom line, and he is willing to endure when others are bad.Be magnanimous on the surface, and he is still willing to tell you his complaints. If you argue with him, he will not dare to say what is in his heart, and will hide it by himself.If you behave too aggressively, Xiang Qingyun is not allowed to spend money for them. Xiang Qingyun can't sit idly by, and will still find a way to lend them money to spend, and he will definitely not dare to tell Ye Jiawen after borrowing the money. It's better now, at least If something happened to him, he dared to tell Ye Jiawen. If he had something in his heart, he would never hide it. Ye Jiawen was a good person for him to confide in.Anyway, the overall situation is still in Ye Jiawen's hands.

Xiang Qingyun's temperament needs to be adjusted slowly, after all, it was cultivated since childhood, so there is no rush.The most urgent task right now is to quickly get rid of those troublesome guys.

Ye Jiawen originally wanted to show some affection to the couple, at least they were Xiang Qingyun's younger siblings, and what he said before, openly and secretly, was in the hope that they would understand themselves.Unexpectedly, Xiang Qingtian and his wife were so shameless that they could open such a mouth when they knew that their eldest brother owed tens of thousands of foreign debts.This kind of people, to give them face is to entrap themselves!

Within two days, I asked Qingtian and his wife to ask Qingyun to take them to buy skin care products for pregnant women in the afternoon.Ye Jiawen knew in his heart that they were looking for a financial backer, so he said to Xiang Qingyun, "You're going on a business trip to Suzhou next week. Aren't you going to the company to prepare materials this afternoon? I'll take your younger brothers and sisters there this afternoon." Xiang Qingyun happened to confirm If he was busy, he agreed and entrusted Ye Jiawen to go.Ye Jiawen deliberately delayed until Xiang Qingyun left first, then called Zhang Yuanxin before leaving the door.

Xiang Qingtian and his wife saw that it was Ye Jiawen who came, and they were not very happy, but Ye Jiawen was in a good mood with a smile on his face: "Let's go, I'll take my younger siblings to go shopping." Seeing their worried faces, their smiles were even brighter, "I I know you don’t have any money, right? It’s okay, I brought 500 yuan, is it enough?”

The couple didn't realize whether he was being sarcastic or not, and flirted with Qingtian's face. Liu Sha still had that affectionate and hypocritical smile, and she held Xiangqingtian's hand and said, "Oh, that's hard work, Brother Ye. Brother Qingyun and Brother Qingyun really have a good relationship, and you have helped him a lot since we came here!"

Ye Jiawen sneered inwardly: all debts of favor and money were pushed onto Xiang Qingyun's head, this woman has a sharp tongue and is quite good at talking.

Ye Jiawen took them out of the hotel, and chatted with Liu Sha about how to take care of pregnant women and how to educate and raise children along the way.Ye Jiawen had brought Xiang Xiaolong before, and she also had some experience in raising children. After hearing this, Liu Sha smiled and boasted: "Brother Ye knows so much! It's like raising children! It's different for those who have gone to college!" Mouth Always sweet.

Ye Jiawen said with a smile: "Well, I just like children more and I like to hear people talk about their experience in raising children."

They walked into an alley, and when they were about to reach the intersection, five or six men suddenly appeared in front of them. The leader was a man with a shaved head. It was autumn and he was wearing a bunny vest, revealing a large tattoo on his arm.The others in the back were also vicious, and two of them were still holding wooden sticks, so they didn't seem to be any kind.

Xiang Qingtian and Liu Sha were dumbfounded at the time, Liu Sha reacted the fastest, and immediately jumped behind Ye Jiawen with her big belly, Xiang Qingtian reacted a bit slower, and also hid behind his wife.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, the tattooed bald man squinted his eyes at Ye Jiawen.Liu Sha grabbed Ye Jiawen's arm and could feel Ye Jiawen's body trembling.The bald head walked towards them step by step, and said unhurriedly: "Ye Jiawen, I've blocked you for three days, and I've finally blocked you. What's the matter, when do you and Xiang Qingyun plan to pay back the money?"

Ye Jiawen swallowed, and smiled apologetically, "Brother Long, we have something to discuss..."

The bald head smiled twice with his mouth tilted: "You still know how to call me Brother Long, why, you dare to take money from your Brother Long! Now that you have 4 yuan, I will discuss something with you!" Behind the bald head The two guys with sticks tapped the sticks in their palms and leaned over.

Liu Sha asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Ye, they..." Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jiawen suddenly grabbed her wrist, grabbed him with his left hand, and grabbed Qingtian with his right hand, and shouted, "Run!"

Before Xiang Qingtian and Liu Sha could recover, they were grabbed by Ye Jiawen and rushed out.The group of debt collectors behind probably didn't expect them to run away, and they didn't chase after them right away.Ye Jiawen grabbed one with each hand, ran to the intersection and was about to turn left, when he let go of Xiang Qingtian's hand.Xiang Qingtian was stunned for a second, and followed him for two steps, then immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

With her big belly in her arms, Liu Sha couldn't run fast at all, she staggered and almost fell off after running for a long time.The debt collectors were already chasing after him. Ye Jiawen looked around and pushed Liu Sha in the direction of an old residential building: "Quick! Brother and sister, go hide there first!"
