The control group dressed as the heroine

"Going south? Entering the factory?" Zhou's mother guessed a lot about her son's whereabouts, but she never expected that she would get such an answer.So after hearing my daughter's answer, I was stunned for a while.Sitting next to her, Zhou's father, who had been listening to her call all the time, was also stunned after vaguely hearing Zhou Xiaoai's answer.

"Yes, I heard that there are many opportunities to make money there, so he went."

Brother Zhou looked at Zhou Xiaoai unexpectedly, Xiaoai smiled at him with her mouth open, and then continued to listen to what the other side had to say.

After regaining her senses, Zhou's mother asked subconsciously: "But he has no money, where did he get the travel expenses to go so far?"

Zhou Xiaoai immediately said: "I also asked him at the time, and he said that he borrowed a loan shark with his mobile phone."

"Then did he get there safely now? Did he find a job? And he didn't say, which city did he go to when he went south? Which factory did he go to?" There are too many cities in the south where people can work. There are also many famous big factories.Zhou's mother was in a hurry, and there was a crying voice in her voice.

Zhou Xiaonian continued to look at Zhou Xiaoai, Zhou Xiaoai opened his mouth and replied: "Actually, I received a call from him yesterday, and he said he was over there. But I asked where he is? Which place do you want to apply for?" He didn't answer me at all. He also said that he has no money recently, and because he borrowed an online loan, he can't take care of me for the time being, and asked me to be more frugal with the money recently, and I agreed. After that, he hung up I got off the phone, and when I dialed again, his phone was turned off. Actually, I’m still waiting, I think when my brother is stable over there, he should contact us, right?”

"..." Mother Zhou fell silent.

Zhou Xiaoai was also silent while holding the phone. After being silent for a while, Zhou Xiaoai continued: "Mom, I won't be going home during the winter vacation."

"Why don't you go back? Why don't you go home in the winter, and the New Year will be in winter?" Hearing her daughter's words, Zhou's mother temporarily put aside her son's affairs and immediately objected.When Zhou's father heard her words, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately snatched her mobile phone and played the external expansion.

"Why should I go back? My brother is not at home. Why should I stay at home all day when I go back? And mom, my brother won't answer my phone calls and I can't be contacted for the time being. What about my living expenses? What about the tuition fee? To be honest, I only have [-] in my pocket now. The ice market costs so much, and there is still one month before the winter vacation. In one month, the little money I have on hand may not even cover my living expenses. Not enough. Under such circumstances, even if I want to go home, I have no money to buy a ticket. Mom, under such circumstances, how do you ask me to go back?"

Zhou's mother on the other end of the phone heard her daughter's words and subconsciously looked at her husband, hoping that he could say something.Zhou Dashan's complexion suddenly became ugly, seeing his wife's expectant eyes, he moved his mouth subconsciously.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoai's voice came out from the microphone very clearly: "Mom, I want to make money here, to earn my living expenses for the next semester, and I have to prepare early for my tuition fees for next year. Mom , as long as you and my dad can give me 1 a month, no, [-] is too much, I can save [-]. Only you can give me [-] a month for living expenses, and you can provide me with nearly [-] round trips For the train fare, if you can give me [-] yuan for tuition and accommodation every year, then I will come back. Mom, you can ask your father and discuss it with him. I know that money is tight at home, and I can even make an IOU. It won’t be in vain. Mom, can you discuss with my dad and ask him to lend me the money? When I graduate from college, I will—”

Zhou Xiaoai's words tore off the only remaining fig leaf in the family. Yang Xiaohui, who knew the family's financial situation, looked at her husband eagerly.I hope he can let go, I hope he can agree.

But Zhou Dashan, who originally only planned to provide his daughter with travel expenses home, heard what Zhou Xiaoai said later.After thinking that for the next three years or so, he would have to pay a large sum of money every year and provide her with living expenses every month, he suddenly froze.

"Are you talking? Are you dumb? Didn't you hear her say that IOUs can be issued? Are there any fathers in this world who ask their daughters to issue IOUs? Talk? As long as you don't gamble or gamble less, this point We can afford the money, right?" Seeing her husband's mouth shut again, Zhou's mother finally became angry.She didn't care about the phone that was still on the outside, she stood up all of a sudden, and her voice suddenly became louder.

"It's nothing but an IOU. My daughter loses money. If she doesn't go home after graduation or gets married, wouldn't I be at a loss?" Unexpectedly, his always obedient wife would bump into him, and Zhou Dashan also patted the table Shouted: "A girl is going to a ball university. I shouldn't have allowed her to go there. Damn girl, did you hear that? If you can get money by yourself and ask your elder brother for money, then you can continue reading Well, I don’t care about you anymore. But if you want to cheat my pension money, there is no door. No money, right? If you don’t have money, come back to me. When I come back, I will find a rich man to marry you, so that you can have money."

Zhou's father roared angrily on the other end of the phone. Zhou's mother didn't expect her husband to say such a thing, so she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and push her husband.Zhou Dashan was short of breath and raised his hand subconsciously.

There was no sound from either side of the phone that was on, and everything was quiet.

Zhou Dashan raised his hands high with a heavy breath, and Yang Xiaohui stared at his slap with wide eyes, as if to see how he slapped it.

Zhou Dashan's hands trembled. He had slapped his family countless times in his life.But apart from beating his rough-skinned and thick-skinned son, he actually mostly threatened his wife and daughter, and never really beat him.But this time, he felt as if he really couldn't bear it.

"Okay, I'll remember. I won't go back in the future. Take care. I hope you can live happily this Spring Festival. I hope you will always be healthy and self-sufficient."

Zhou Xiaoai, who was silent, made a sound in the silence. After that, the screen of Zhou's mobile phone was still on, and it turned black all of a sudden.

Because of Zhou Xiaoai's sudden voice, Zhou Dashan and Yang Xiaohui suddenly woke up.The two turned their heads and subconsciously looked at the blacked-out mobile phone. After a long time, the two finally realized that it was because of what they said just now.After they lost their son's whereabouts, they lost their daughter's heart all of a sudden.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of courageousness just now.She sat down on the sofa, crying as usual.

"Why are you crying, you two debt collectors. Don't worry, that's what they said. They will come back when we make a few more phone calls later. Also, don't listen to that dead girl fooling around. We don't need them to raise her now. , so we don’t rely on them. But if we are really powerless, they have to support us, and if we don’t, I will go to court to sue them. It’s up to them whether to support us or not.”

Seeing his wife crying, Zhou Dashan thought she was frightened by Zhou Xiaoai's words, so he subconsciously comforted her.Yang Xiaohui listened to his words, remained indifferent, and continued to cry.After her husband went out to play cards in broad daylight with abnormal money, Yang Xiaohui sat on the sofa and did not think about the family business abnormally.Instead, he sat on the sofa and meditated, without moving for a long, long time.

"Isn't it a bit too much to say that?" After Zhou Xiaoai put away the phone, Brother Zhou said: "Little sister, don't worry about the money, I will make money quickly, you should go home during the winter vacation It's better to go home. If you don't go home, there are only two of them at home, it feels pretty miserable. And they have always been pretty good to you, there is no need for you to do this for me, and—"

"..." Zhou Xiaoai turned her head and looked at Big Brother Zhou who was persuading her without moving, to see what else he could say.

Looking at her eyes, Zhou Xiaonian felt a little uncomfortable, and finally said nothing.

"Let's go!"

In fact, how their parents treat them, and what is going on at home, both of them know very well.Perhaps because of Zhou Xiaoai's painstaking management and improvement some time ago, the atmosphere at home has changed a little bit.But that change was based on the premise that the two brothers and sisters earn their own money, spend it on their own, and don't ask their parents for money.Once, like today, these surfaces are really blocked from false warmth in private, then the rest is the most naked reality.

He wants to make money, he also wants to have a girlfriend, and he even wants a home of his own.But all of these require money, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let the other party easily steal his hard-earned money.So he had to leave home and stay away from his gambling father.

As Xiao Ai, since she came home, her family has not really cared about her except for providing her with basic food and clothing.When she was in high school, she was the one who cried loudly and went to bed crying.As for the tuition fees for college, she earned it by setting up a stall.They all know how the family treats her and how they treat them.Under such circumstances, how could he persuade the younger sister?

The two went to the small rental house in silence. The next day, Zhou Xiaoai took out her mobile phone.I kept two hundred for myself, and then transferred the remaining three hundred to Brother Zhou.

"Brother, that's all. Anyway, the rent is paid in advance. With this money, you can use it to start a small business. Just like what we did at the beginning, you buy something with low cost. Our goal now is not to make big money, but Support yourself first. The prices in the ice market are very low, so you must not put too much pressure on yourself. You do it first, and I will come back to help you as soon as I have time, and we will work together when the time comes."

Before leaving, Zhou Xiaoai persuaded Brother Zhou.Zhou Xiaonian nodded, and finally stroked Zhou Xiaoai's hair, without saying anything more.

After Zhou Xiaoai left, Zhou Xiaonian checked the wholesale market and route of Bingshi with his mobile phone, and then immediately went out with the key.

And Zhou Xiaoai, on the way back.I have been thinking about how to make money quickly, so that Brother Zhou's heart can be reassured.

"Money, money, money, money!!!" Zhou Xiaoai, who only had two hundred in her phone, once again understood the importance of money in this world, and was once again forced by the word money.

Eye-catching loan advertisements were posted on the school's message boards and walls. Zhou Xiaoai took a deep breath, then turned around and walked into the dormitory.

"Xiao Ai, are you back?"

"Xiao Ai, tell me quickly, who is the handsome guy who had dinner with you yesterday? Hurry up and tell me the truth?"

"Xiao Ai, are you finally willing to separate from your own brother?"

The classmates in the corridor, Gao Shan and Sun Beibei in the dormitory saw her coming in, and they all joked happily.Guo Meiren inside was sitting on a chair, watching her American drama as usual.After seeing her coming, she also looked up.

"Well, I'll go to bed first!" Seeing others happy, Zhou Xiaoai's mood became worse and worse.Mu Mu nodded to everyone, then Zhou Xiaoai took off her shoes and coat, and quickly climbed onto the bed.

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that everyone was happy, she went to bed.Gao Shan felt something was wrong and asked subconsciously.

"Your brother has already left, right?" Sun Beibei, who was holding cosmetics in her hand, also subconsciously guessed.

Zhou Xiaoai didn't say a word, she stretched out her hand to pull down her bed cover, and she assumed a posture of not wanting to speak.

"cut!"

Sun Beibei pursed her lips silently, after turning her head to see Guo Ying's displeased gaze.She was terrified for a while, and then she turned around pretending to be indifferent.

"What's wrong with you?" In the silence, Guo Ying stood beside Zhou Xiaoai's bed.She is a head taller than Zhou Xiaoai. On weekdays, when Zhou Xiaoai calls her, she needs to stand on a chair.But if her name is Xiaoai, she just needs to stand by the bed.

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, so I want to sleep longer." She was Guo Ying, and it was impossible for Zhou Xiaoai to ignore her, so she could only speak.

"Then go to sleep. I'll call you again when class starts." Today's classes are all in the afternoon, Guo Ying said softly.Then suddenly a hand was stretched out from the side of the bed, and without warning, it was placed on Zhou Xiaoai's forehead.

Zhou Xiaoai lay motionless, letting her touch her forehead.The two looked at each other through the thin bed cover, neither spoke.

After confirming that her discomfort was not caused by a cold, Guo Ying naturally withdrew her right hand.And Zhou Xiaoai inside, after she stopped, turned subconsciously towards the wall and closed her eyes.
