Doomed Destiny - C43
Daybreak had arrived. The gate was opened. The eldest sister, Jin Yuxia, came out of the house carrying a big bag with bruises all over her face. Seeing me sitting on the floor, she asked me if I was hungry. I said hungry. She took out ten dollars from her pocket for me to buy instant noodles myself. I took the ten dollars and said, with a heavy heart, Are you leaving? She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said yes, she would have to go sooner or later. I asked who had hit you in the face.
Of course it would be Yang Dabao and Zhao Xinxin. I asked them why they hit you. She said he heard you banging on the door last night. Didn’t she want to open it for you?
After a moment of silence, I said, “Maybe you really are my younger sister, Jin Yuxia!”
“I was your sister Jin Yuxia in the first place. The Jin Yuxia you killed is the demon! ”
“Hm!” That way, I won’t feel guilty anymore! ”
She looked at the blood on the ground and said, “You’re bleeding?”
I took off my black coat and turned around to show her my back. “Can you help me see what’s coming out of the hump?”
“Ah, the gauze has been dyed red!” After a while, Big Sister Jin Yuxia said again, “It seems like it has two big teeth. “It’s quite sharp!”
“What are these two teeth doing?” I wondered. He then put on the black coat.
“Brother, you should go to the hospital to have a look! This hump of yours might be hiding something terrifying! ” Jin Yuxia said with a face full of worry.
“Look, where’s the money?” I smiled bitterly. He thought of his mother again. If she hadn’t taken a million, I would have been in a hospital in a big city by now.
“No need to say anymore, I’m leaving, brother.” If I hurry over early, I might even be able to eat breakfast with him! ”
As I watched Jin Yuxia carry her backpack and walk off, my heart ached beyond compare.
I went into the yard.
Yang Dabao had already woken up and was standing at the door of the west room with a kitchen knife in his hand. He looked at me warily.
I asked if there was anything to eat at home.
He said no.
I asked if there was any money left.
He also said no.
I handed over the 10 yuan and said that the one selling the buns would be here soon. Buying the 10 yuan bun would be enough for the three of us to eat for the entire day.
Yang Dabao didn’t take the money, but coldly looked at me.
I let go and let the ten dollars fall to the ground.
Today’s weather was rather cloudy and there was a little wind. A few leaves swirled on the ground. I think there is an unspeakable depression in this family.
“Jin Shi, you have a killing intent on you!” Yang Dabao said.
“So what?”
“To be honest, I’m a little afraid of you!”
“As long as you don’t provoke me, it’s fine!”
“What do you mean, I’m not going to mess with you?” Yang Dabao asked.
I didn’t say anything. In the living room. Lie down on the floor to get a good night’s sleep. The hump of a hump supported my body in an arch. My head needs a very high pillow to be comfortable. The pile of white paper in the snakeskin bag was gone. It should be Zhao Xinxin or Yang Dabao pulling them to the kitchen to light the fire.
I glanced at the clock on the wall. The calendar said November 5, 2066. I calculated in my mind. According to the Lunar New Year, today is the fifteenth of the ninth month. It had been exactly a month since the day of his father’s death (Mid-Autumn Festival). Only then did I recall the five Silk Bag. It was time to open the third.
Long before we arranged for the marriage ceremony, I had already moved the five Silk Bag elsewhere. It was in a groove in one of the walls in the passage. Because there was a gate in the hallway. So when the country folk covered the aisle, they left a groove in the wall to worship the god of the gate.
So I went into the passage, moved the censer away, and took the remaining three Silk Bag. One of the white Silk Bag had the number three on it. It was the third Silk Bag, and the one that should be opened this time. I returned to the living room and sat on the bed. I untied the white Silk Bag and took out a piece of paper.
The contents of the slip of paper read: “Chao Xixi died on September 13, 2006, at the hands of Jin Shi!”
I couldn’t help but be stunned.
Chao Xixi is my mother. September 13, 2006 Lunar New Year is a thing of the past. Two days ago. The day Lao Chang came to find me to buy organs.
“Ridiculous!” “We can’t believe it!” I spat at the note.
When did I kill my mother? Clearly, she escaped with a million. She abandoned her home for a million!
“The contents of the Silk Bag are truly unbelievable!” I said to myself.
A flash of light. Yang Dabao opened the curtain and entered. Soon after, Zhao Xinxin also entered. Zhao Xinxin had dressed up very well today as she drew her eyebrows and drew his lips. It was a pity that there was a big hole on her lips, leaving only her fair skin and tall stature. Her beauty was no longer related to her face.
“What for?” I asked.
Zhao Xinxin said: “I want to go back to my parents’ house!”
“Go ahead!”
“I want you to come with me!”
“Oh, why don’t you let Yang Dabao go with you?”
“Don’t let him go! The one my parents like is you! ” Zhao Xinxin said.
“Is there any difference between me and Yang Dabao!? Only he was a little taller, and we couldn’t see it if we didn’t stand together. If he goes, just say it’s me! I’m not going. Look at me, I’m scalded and covered in gauze. It’s so ugly! ” I was in no mood to go to her parents’ house, so I declined.
“Jin Shi, what’s that in your hand?” Yang Dabao asked.
“Bullshit!” I looked at the two Silk Bag s in my hands and said.
“This little bag looks pretty good, why don’t you give it to me?” I’ll get some spices later and make a few scented sachet bags! ” Yang Dabao said.
I casually threw over the two Silk Bag s in my hands that I had not seen before, and said: “There is still a note inside! Don’t believe that content, it’s all just a lie! ”
Yang Dabao stooped down and picked up the two Silk Bag s, then turned and walked out without even raising his head.
Zhao Xinxin also followed him out. After a while, she returned to the hall once again, and anxiously said: “I can’t find Yang Dabao!”
“Did he go to the bathroom?” “No,” I said.
“No!” I’ve searched every inch of the house. He’s gone! ”
“He ran away? Where else could he go? Maybe he went out from home! “I gave him ten dollars. Did he take ten dollars to buy something at the east-end kiosk in the village?” “No,” I said.
However. Another hour passed. Yang Dabao did not come back.
Zhao Xinxin impatiently urged: “My mother’s family keeps on calling to get us to hurry up! Come with me! ”
“But I don’t want to!”
“If you don’t go, I’ll smash you to death with my shovel today! “Damn it, I’m giving you face, no?!” Zhao Xinxin was annoyed, she pointed at me and cursed.
In the end, I still followed Zhao Xinxin to her parents’ house. She rode me on a bicycle. When he arrived at her house, it was already noon. It was time for lunch. I thought that by now, my parents had already set up a table for me. I would be able to eat a lot more this time. However, when they entered her courtyard, they found it cold and cheerless. The fragrance of the food could not be smelled, and no one came out to greet them.
He entered her living room. All three of them were sitting on the bench. There was only a basket of buns and a bowl of black paste on the table. And all three of them had long, downcast faces, and were staring at me with unfriendly eyes. I found a stool and sat down. “Dad, Mom, what are you in such a hurry for? What’s the matter? ”
Zhao Xinxin’s father said: “Jin Shi! What about the one hundred and eighty thousand! Didn’t we agree to send 180,000 yuan over in a week? Today, just a week had passed. Why don’t I see your shadow of money! ”
I rubbed my hands together, not knowing what to say.
“I’m not going to listen to your bullsh * t talk about money! “He’s probably boasting for my family about the cannon!” Zhao Xinxin’s crippled brother said.
“Sigh!” Something happened in the middle! I could have given you guys another one hundred and eighty thousand! “But the money is …” I was bitter.
“Enough!” Don’t try that! “Tell me, how much can you take now?” Zhao Xinxin’s father waved her hand and said impatiently.
“To be honest, I don’t have a dime left over right now!” I said honestly.
“Are you messing with us?” Zhao Xinxin’s father looked at me coldly, the flesh on her face twitching.
“Jin Shi! What am I supposed to do! He was already bragging to the villagers! Everyone in the village was waiting to see what Zhao Liang’s mechanical legs looked like! You can’t buy it for me, so why are you letting me keep my face in the village?! ” Zhao Xinxin’s mother slapped her face and shouted excitedly.
I lowered my head and didn’t know what to say.
“Motherf * cker …” Forced! Why are you bragging so much to me!? Such a lame bastard, you think that it’s not enough to make fun of me! You still dare to embarrass me! ” Zhao Xinxin’s brother flew into a rage, her eyes staring so wide that it seemed like she was about to bite someone.
“Alright… It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! My mouth is cheap, I shouldn’t be bragging! “It’s all mine …” I kept nodding and admitting my mistake.
Zhao Xinxin’s mother said: “Aunt Liu’s son-in-law has already bought the car. He drove to the village every day. Aunt Liu kept asking me when your son-in-law’s car would be bought. He even said that if he couldn’t buy a car, he would make your son-in-law kneel down and eat dog shit. Or they could bring the villagers to destroy their own home! Jin Shi. What am I supposed to do! “You got me stuck here. I can’t go up or down!”
I couldn’t help but say, “Didn’t I already give seventy thousand to your family?” Didn’t your family originally have fifty thousand yuan? Including my seventy thousand, that’s one hundred and twenty thousand. Buy a car and get rid of this one. We’ll talk about the rest later! ”
“Ouch! Jin Shi, are you trying to mess with me the moment you open your mouth? When did you give my family seventy thousand yuan? You can’t speak carelessly when you can eat a lot of food! Do you have any proof that you gave my family 70,000 yuan!? ” Zhao Xinxin’s mother whacked her thighs and shouted loudly, her teeth baring as she stared.
I couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Do you have a receipt? Show us your receipt! If you don’t have a receipt, you’re just bullshitting! It’s time to fight! ” Zhao Xinxin’s elder brother clamored.
There was a hubbub in the yard. So Aunt Liu had brought a group of people over.
Wang Da Cui! Did your son-in-law come to your house? Tell him to come out! “
