Not bad for money and Grandet

Kang Jiayin has been busy at school until the day before New Year's Eve. Because the brothers and sisters live far away and it is very difficult to buy New Year's tickets, they all go back early one after another. The professor is short of manpower, so he is the only one who stays to help.But the professor was very kind and gave him a red envelope of 3000 yuan for the New Year, which was enough for them to spend the New Year.

The first thing they do when they get home is that the three brothers and sisters hurry up to do the New Year's shopping and buy new clothes by the way.Luo Zizhao also came along, bought a couple outfit with Kang Jiayin by the way, and made an appointment to go out on the first day of junior high school.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Luo Zizhao went out to pay New Year's greetings, had lunch, and drove to pick up the Kang Jiayin brothers and sisters.He didn't say hello in advance, because he had made an agreement before, and he knew that Kang Jiayin would definitely be at home waiting for him to pass.

Although there are not many people in the community, it is decorated with lanterns and festoons, giving it a sense of the New Year.Luo Zizhao walked briskly and went upstairs whistling. There were couplets and blessings pasted on the door of Kang’s house. Although he had the key of Kang’s house, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and it was Kang Jiahui who opened the door. , When she saw Luo Zizhao, she was not out of rational joy, but showed a slightly embarrassed expression: "Brother Zhao."

Luo Zizhao said, "Happy New Year! Where's your brother?"

Kang Jiahui let him in: "My brother is out." She was not very emotional.

"Where did you go?" Luo Zizhao said in surprise.

Kang Jiahui said: "He went out to buy medicine, and Ah Hua followed."

Luo Zizhao was taken aback: "Are you uncomfortable?"

Kang Jiahui shook her head, raised her chin toward her room, and said in a low voice, "My mother is here. They went to buy her medicine."

Luo Zizhao was taken aback by this answer. The image of Yang Minxue appeared in his mind. The last time he saw it was when he moved here when he was a sophomore in high school. After that time, he never appeared again. It has been four years. It's been a year, why are you here again?

"What is she here for?" Luo Zizhao asked in a low voice.

Kang Jiahui shook her head again: "I don't know. It seems that I'm not doing well, and I'm sick."

Luo Zizhao couldn't help frowning, what's the matter, he ran back to look for his children when he was having a bad time, what did he think of this place?Haven?There is no mistake!He sat down on the sofa, and only then did he notice a large box in the living room with the airline's security check label on it, which should belong to Yang Minxue.

Kang Jiahui was a little distracted at the moment, for the New Year's Eve, she didn't even think about serving Luo Zizhao a cup of hot tea, so she just sat there in a daze.Luo Zizhao didn't mind either. Guessing that she wasn't in the mood to greet him at the moment, he asked, "When did she arrive?"

Kang Jiahui came back to her senses, and said in a low voice: "This morning. We just had breakfast, and she came. My brother didn't want her to come in, so she cried at the door, and the neighbors came to see. There was no way, so let her Come in. Brother Zhao, what should I do, will she stay here forever?" A worried look appeared on her small face.

Luo Zizhao looked up at her and said, "Don't worry, let's see the situation first." To be disliked by his own children is a failure to a certain extent, but it is indeed strange that such a woman can give birth to three such outstanding children. Excellent children, as the saying goes, good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo.

Kang Jiahui nodded. When they were most desperate, their mother ruthlessly abandoned them and left. Thanks to her brother's efforts, their brother and sister's life finally improved little by little. At this time, she appeared again. Her appearance has become unnecessary, even It would also destroy their peace, so it was unacceptable anyway. She was really worried that she would stay here and not leave.

About half an hour later, the Kang Jiayin brothers came back. Seeing Luo Zizhao, Kang Jiayin's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, and said, "You're here."

"Can I still go to the movies?" Luo Zizhao asked. He bought a movie ticket for the [-]:[-] p.m. show and planned to have dinner outside after watching the movie. Now that an unexpected visitor came to his house, he was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to go out.

Kang Jiayin looked at him, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and said, "Wait for me." He took the medicine he bought back and entered Jiahui's room. After a while, he came out and poured a glass of water in. After coming out, he said: " Let's go and watch a movie."

"Okay!" Kang Jiahua was a little excited about going out, he felt a sense of fear towards Yang Minxue in his heart, because she tried to take him away last time when he came back, but this time, he didn't know what to worry about.

Kang Jiahui was a little hesitant: "Is it okay to let her stay at home?"

Kang Jiayin said: "There's nothing wrong with it, she can go back if she doesn't want to stay, it's so big outside, there's plenty of space."

The four of them went out to watch a movie and had dinner outside. No one mentioned Yang Minxue during the whole process, but when the meal was almost finished, Kang Jiayin offered to pack her a bag.Luo Zizhao sent them home, but he was still a little worried, so he followed them upstairs.

The light was on at home, and Yang Minxue had already woken up, sitting alone on the sofa with her bare feet hugging her knees. Her hair was a little messy, her clothes were not very particular, her eyes were swollen, and she looked haggard. The first time he saw her, it was completely two people, so that he didn't recognize her at first sight.

Seeing the children coming back, Yang Minxue's eyes lit up. No one called her, and Luo Zizhao couldn't even call her Auntie.Kang Jiayin put the packed meal in his hand on the coffee table and said, "I brought you takeaway."

Yang Minxue put her foot down, wiped her messy hair, opened the bag and prepared to eat.

Several young people were standing, not knowing how to face her.Kang Jiayin said: "Let's go after dinner, we don't have a place for you to live here."

Yang Minxue raised her eyes to look at her eldest son, tears slowly welled up in her eyes, she moved her lips: "Ayin, mother is wrong."

"It doesn't make any sense to say this now. I've said it a long time ago, and we don't deny you, but now this family doesn't need you anymore. I can support myself and afford Ah Hui and Ah Hua to go to school. You Live your own life, when you are old, you need someone to support you, we will pay for the maintenance, we won't blame you. But you want to come back now, I'm sorry, we can't accept it." Kang Jiayin's tone was very indifferent.

Yang Minxue's tears rolled down, but she didn't wipe them, she looked at Jia Hui and Jia Hua eagerly: "Ah Hui, Ah Hua..."

Both Jiahui and Jiahua turned their faces away from her, they hated her more than they loved her, and they were unwilling to recognize her.

Yang Minxue burst into tears, and finally buried her head and burst into tears.Kang Jiayin didn't bother to comfort her, and dragged Luo Zizhao into her bedroom, followed by Jia Hui and Jia Hua, the four of them closed the door, and finally got a moment of peace.

Although Kang Jiayin didn't say anything on the surface, based on Luo Zizhao's understanding of him, he knew that his emotions were on the verge of breaking out. He said, "Why don't we go out to play tonight."

Kang Jiayin said very resolutely: "No! She will go if she wants to go. She must go tonight. This is our home."

"What happened to her?" Luo Zizhao asked.

Kang Jiayin said: "The old man she married died in a car accident. She said she had nowhere to go now, so she came back to find us. She used our place as a shelter."

Luo Zizhao had an unbelievable expression on his face, why did his mother always encounter such things: "Then what should I do?"

"Who knows, just don't bother us anyway." Kang Jiayin snorted coldly, "Do you know why I hate her? She is to blame for everything now. She put aside her good university and followed my dad. My grandparents cut ties with her. As a result, my dad died and left her with nothing except three oil bottles. She told us that she went to the supermarket and never returned. We thought she Something happened, so we called the police and searched everywhere. We ate everything we could eat at home, and drank tap water for three days. Ah Hua suffered from acute enteritis. In order to treat his illness, we pawned all the valuable things at home that could be sold. I sold it. I dropped out of school and went to the street to pick up scraps to exchange for money, just to fill my stomach..." At this point, he didn't continue.

Both Jiahui and Jiahua couldn't help sobbing. That time was the worst nightmare they wanted to recall. The three of them, the three of them, would often lie in bed in the dark night when the electricity was cut off, looking at the bright lights of Wanjia outside the window. Feeling the gurgling empty stomach on the bed, smelling the aroma of food wafting from other people's homes...they don't want to experience the despair that has been forgotten by this world.

When Luo Zizhao heard this, his eye circles couldn't help turning red. He had heard this past from Yu Jiaqing, and it was far less shocking than Kang Jiayin's own mouth.So Yang Minxue is a completely unsympathetic woman, she has hands and feet, and she went to college, why did she degenerate to this point?Why can't you support yourself, why abandon your flesh and blood.

Kang Jiahua shrunk his neck, with tears streaming down his face: "Brother, I'm afraid." He remembered the experience of being adopted.

Kang Jiayin raised his hand and touched his head: "Don't be afraid, you are so old now, she can't do anything to you."

"I know, but I'm afraid of her, I don't want to see her." Kang Jiahua said.

"She will leave. If she refuses to leave, we will live outside." Kang Jiayin said.

Kang Jiahui quickly asked, "Where are we going to move?"

Kang Jiayin looked at this room full of memories, sighed and said: "There are so many houses, rent this out, we rent another house, she can't find us at all."

The room fell into silence, and the atmosphere was very depressing. It was obviously a good day for the Chinese New Year, but the reunion became the last thing people looked forward to in their family.

I don't know how long it took before there was a knock on the door of the room. Kang Jiayin went to open the door, and Yang Minxue said, "I want to talk to you."

Kang Jiayin didn't refuse, and walked out, Jia Hui and Jia Hua also came out, Luo Zizhao thought about it, but stayed in the room and didn't come out, after all, it was their mother and son's business, and it was not good for him to meddle.

Kang Jiayin didn't close the door, and Luo Zizhao could vaguely hear them talking outside. At first, it was Yang Minxue's sobbing. After a while, she proposed: "I want to spend this year with you, and I will leave after the year. Come to bother you again."

Kang Jiayin said: "We can accompany you to celebrate the New Year, but you can't live here, you go to a hotel outside by yourself."

"Can't you let me stay here for a few days? I want to accompany you and cook a few meals for you." Yang Minxue begged.

"If you want to cook during the day and stay in a hotel at night, I can book a hotel for you." Kang Jiayin did not give in at all, treating her as a guest and not giving her the luxury of being able to go home.

With tears in her eyes, Yang Minxue looked at her eldest son, "Ayin, you can't treat mother like this."

"You are here, we are all very uncomfortable. If it weren't for this unbroken blood relationship, we wouldn't even need to meet. Don't force me, if you force me, we will move away, so that you can never find Us." Kang Jiayin said very firmly.

This remark shocked Yang Minxue. Apart from blood relationship, the bond between her and her children now is the house. If they move out, she really doesn't know where to find them unless they call the police to search for their whereabouts, but even if they are found , it is also very easy to avoid it.This is not the result she wanted, she backed down: "I'm leaving, I'm going to live outside. I want to move back to S City, you are still in school, I will pay your tuition fees in the future, mom has money now gone."

"We don't need your money. You can live wherever you want, as long as you don't live with us. And we don't want to see you, so don't bother us. Ah Hui and Ah Hua are both in high school now, and their studies are very good. Nervous, you always come to us, it will affect their academic performance." Kang Jiayin said.

Yang Minxue nodded vigorously: "Okay, can I leave a contact information?"

Kang Jiayin said: "I will give you my phone number, and I will contact you once every two months at most. I won't answer if the number exceeds."

Yang Minxue left that night.Kang Jiahui took off all her quilt covers and sheets and threw them into the washing machine, mopped the room clean, sprayed the air freshener on it, and then went to sleep.

Luo Zizhao didn't go home, he stayed.That night Kang Jiayin told him a lot about the past, Luo Zizhao was so distressed that he hugged him tightly, he knew that although Kang Jiayin looked good on the surface, those past pains were always buried in his heart, It has never been shown to anyone, like a pustule, always painful, needs an opportunity to pierce it, and squeeze out all the pain, so that he can truly recover.
