Chapter 37: I Need to Make Money
Chapter 37: I Need to Make Money
The night was cool like water, Da Qiang was still screaming, surrounded by the light of a lamp.
Li Xin was the first to come, then nearby residents came. I hugged Li Xin tightly and looked at the approaching lights and people. This was God's revenge on me, what a hateful God.
Many people ran over, there are many residents in this neighborhood, so it is impossible to hide. Da Qiang that screamed like a pig getting killed was loud enough for half the town to hear.
I also know that I have made a lot of trouble, but now my brain is very hollow, I just wanted to hold onto Li Xin, I don't want to think about anything else.
Li Xin wanted to help me get up to escape, she is really a bit silly, there are people everywhere around us, how could we escape ah.
As a result, she started to cry, she has always said little, at this moment she is still not good at words, and is crying.
Then Da Qiang's parents rushed over, they looked directly at Da Qiang, and were shocked to no end, cursing and crying.
More residents were talking, and the residents in front of us shone the light of their flashlights on us, shaking their eyes.
I was thinking empty-handed, and then someone kicked me and beat me, I dont know if it was Da Qiangs parents or my parents, but it was very painful, Li Xin was also beaten, her screams made my eyes freeze, my the void gradually dissipated, there shouting for people around to get out of the way.
My ears were filled with all kinds of sounds, I actually tried to clear my mind, but I had been beaten badly by Da Qiang earlier, especially his over-the-shoulder slam, which made my internal organs tremble, so I couldn't clear my mind.
Finally I was carried away, and so was Da Qiang, who went to the clinic, and I went home.
I went home and was beaten, and I didn't fight back, just accepted it.
When the town finally quieted down, I had been left in bed, and my parents went to the clinic to see Da Qiang, so I guess I was in big trouble.
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but I couldn't sleep when I was so worn out. I still think about my sister, where is she?
We had been hugging, but when did we get separated? Has she come back?
Thinking about it, I suddenly got anxious, where did she go? I sat up slowly, my body was in pain and I grimaced as I fumbled in the dark to turn on the light.
Then I rolled out of bed, then the light came on, and the person at the door made a frightened sound and came over to help me.
It was Li Xin, who also had bruises that must have been inflicted by our parents. I breathed heavily, my body was in too much pain. Li Xin began to fall into tears again, she carried a glass of water, and pills to help with bruises.
She gave me the pills and struggled to drag me onto the bed. I said I'm okay, how are you?
She was silent, as if she was not in the same dimension as me, but I knew we really were as I could feel the warmth of her body.
I tried to hug her again, but she left and kept falling into tears.
So the room was dead silent again, I took a sip of warm water, felt much better, and finally drifted off to sleep after thinking about many things.
When I woke up it was noon and the sun was fierce. I was much better, and it seemed that Da Qiang was not so bad, and didn't give me any fatal wounds.
I then got up and moved out, I wanted to see Li Xin. I ended up seeing my parents sitting in the hall with gloomy faces. My mother was wiping her tears, and my father was smoking a dry cigarette.
I was watching them from the doorway when my father jerked up and tried to rush over, but my mother spoke up: "Forget it, he's hurt like this, don't fight."
My father stopped and went back to smoking his cigarette.
I did not say anything, my mother looked at me sadly and did not speak.
But my father said, as he wanted to kill me: "The last 5,000 yuan of the family was used to pay Lao Zheng, and his factory will not accept us, are you satisfied?" (TN: About 740 USD.)
I was satisfied, but deep inside I was really sad, why did it turn out like this?
I lowered my head and said nothing, mother wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "We still have to go to work and find a factory ourselves, Li Xin... I'm afraid most factories won't want her, so we won't take her there, but after her second year of junior high school, I cant afford her school, so I wont be able to support her.
I looked up at her, she began to cry again. I spoke in a deep voice: "I will pay for her education, don't worry about it.
My father was furious: "You're fucking crazy, aren't you?"
I said I was not crazy, I was going to pay for her education, and that she could pay for herself, just let her work part-time.
My father had nowhere to vent his anger: "You're paying for her education? How are you going to pay for it? If you don't study and go to work, I'll beat you to death!"
My father asked me where I was going, and I said I was going to get some money.
He shouted and told me to get lost.
I knew that my parents were already disappointed in me, and in Li Xin, and they would definitely not support Li Xin anymore. Although Li Xin can work part-time, but that does not earn much, we might be able to support her middle school life, but what about her high school? Would she really accept not taking high school? Even if she saved enough money, she still has to take college, I do not want her always working part-jobs for school.
Now Da Qiang's family does not want our parents and Li Xin, that means I have to carry the big burden.
I thought a lot when I was groggy, but it was worth a try.
I walked outside, slowly speeding up, enduring my pain on the road and waiting for the bus.
The injury didn't bother me, and the pain was gone.
Half an hour later, the bus finally came, I got in and went downtown, then went to find Qin Lan.
Before looking for her I first looked for the landlord, and the landlord guy peaked his eyes through the door which was barely open, looking a little panicked: "Little brother, what is it?"
I squeezed in and wiped a handful of sweat: "Brother, last time that incident, I will cooperate with you."
He was stunned, then smiled: "Selling underwear?"
I said yes, you have hundreds of customers, right? There's a shortage of underwear, right?
He nodded repeatedly and said it was getting harder and harder to steal panties, and two sisters had noticed it and that they had moved away, and it was a tough world.
I patted him on the shoulder and made up my mind: "I'll try to talk to my friend, so that she can supply, and then I get eighty-two percent."
He gave a cry: "You get eighty two? No, no, you're too tough."
I said that seventy three, no less, and originally you could not even get her panties.
He still agreed, and I went to Qin Lan, still torn inside. I am good friends with Qin Lan, she even has only one friend which is me, but now I want to sell her panties, which still makes it hard for me, I do not know what her reaction will be.
Taking a breath, I knocked on the door, but it wasn't Qin Lan who opened the door, but the handsome guy.
This handsome man has a spring face and a friendly smile: "It's you, are you looking for Qin Lan?"
I said yes, is she here?
The handsome man nodded his head and asked me what I needed her for. I thought to myself, what do you care about? It's none of your business.
I didn't look good to anyone now, so I shook my head and went in without giving him a second glance.
I know Qin Lan's room, I went straight over and unscrewed the door, and found it locked, I raised my eyebrows, is she protecting herself from the handsome man?
I knocked a few times, and Qin Lan came to open the door. Seeing my face she was happy at first, quickly became cold: "What are you doing here?"
I was stunned for a moment, and said whats with you, older sister?
She sneered: "Were you dead on Friday? The QQ said to come to me, I waited for you for a day!"
I was startled, then remembered. That day, I really wanted to go to Qin Lan after beating up Huang Mao, and we chatted on QQ, but Li Xin suddenly went home and I followed her, forgetting about Qin Lan.
And I don't know where I put my phone. I hurriedly apologized, and the handsome guy behind me smiled unnaturally, saying that we have a really good relationship.
Qin Lan squeezed out a smile, then pulled me in with one hand: "I have to clean him up."
The door was locked again, I had come to talk to her about selling panties, but now she grabbed me and hit me: "You son of a bitch, being silent for so long, I went to your school to look for you several times, tell me, why are you such an asshole!"
I hurriedly explained, "I lost my phone, and I had an emergency that day, a real emergency."
She narrowed her eyes and snorted, "Li Xin again?" I nodded with a dry smile and she grabbed my ear: "I knew it! You bitch, you're pissing me off!"
I burst into tears, and was very aggrieved, and my body was in pain. I said stop hitting me, I was hurt.
She hurriedly let go to look at my body, and then gasped again, "Fighting someone for Li Xin?"
This is right, but I did not nod my head anymore, but sighed: "My parents were about to force my sister to work part-time."
Qin Lan froze and said no way, Li Xin is still so young.
I told her everything, and she got angry: "Who is Da Qiang ah? Why so bitchy, I'll find someone to clean him up!"
I said forget it, I lost 5,000 yuan for fighting him. If he didn't bother me, I would be too lazy to care about him.
Qin Lan was still upset, I was silent for a long time, she poked me: "So what are you going to do?"
I said I had to pay for my sister's education and needed money. She rolled her eyes: "You need to borrow money."
She took out her wallet, and I shook my head: No, Im going to need to pay for a lot of things in the future, borrowing money is not really an option, I need to earn money.
Qin Lan scoffed: "The idea is good, but how would you make money? Go move some bricks ah."
I am a little ashamed to speak, but after half a day, I spoke in a low voice: "I am cooperating with the landlord, selling underwear, I get seventy three, once we get 70% , I will give you 30% ......"
She was a bit confused: "What? Selling panties? What's the point of giving me 30 ......? You want to sell my fucking panties?"
She finally reacted, her face changed radically, her eyes were full of rage.
I smiled, "Lan Lan, it's okay, right?"
She kicked me, furious and resentful: "What do you take me for? Your tool? Selling my underwear? Get out of my sight!"
I was sorry for her, what was the point of having my friend sell her panties, it was humiliating and she must have thought I didn't care about her.
I wanted to explain clearly that I was forced to make a living, but Qin Lan was already mad, cursing and even her eyes were red: "You don't think about what those men are doing with my panties, how disgusting it is, you only have Li Xin in your heart, don't you? Am I supposed to be your tool?"
The more she scolded me, the more hatred she gathered. She was angry at first, and then she became sad. I hugged her and comforted her in a hurry: "I didn't think about it that much, I just thought it was just a pair of underwear, which was cheap and can be sold at a high price. So I want to sell it, without taking into account your feelings, I will not sell it."
Her fingers pinched my waist, twisted it without mercy, I touched her hair, she was obediently leaning on my shoulder.
I said don't cry anymore, she was still crying, she was too disappointed. I have been holding her, as a result my legs are becoming numb, and I said please do not cry.
She looked up at me, with resentment still in her eyes: "I feel that you can neglect anyone for Li Xin."
I got anxious and said how could I neglect people? I really didn't expect you to value your underwear so much.
She pinched me again: "How about this then, you let Li Xin sell her underwear, killing two birds with one stone."
I shook my head as soon as I heard her, theres no way I could? She smiled weakly again: "Look, its just like I said, you don't care about me at all!"
