Chapter Four, Spring of Many Incidents (Part Two).
No one paid attention.
My father paused for a moment, then continued to say fiercely, "Anyway, I don't have any money!"
That is surnamed Ning, not Hong. The mother's crying became even heavier.
Grandfather saw me not moving, shook his head and sighed, then walked away. The neighbors saw me sitting for a long time, but there was no response in the house, and they also felt bored. They laughed and left. Some people from the team came and tried to persuade me, but they had no choice but to retreat... Soon, silence returned to my surroundings.
Useless, even your father doesn't care about you, how could your stepfather care?
Opening the door, I was startled to see Suoli standing there. He glanced at me silently, snatched the suitcase from my hand, and walked ahead of us. I didn't know if it was the store manager who told him about me running away, or if Liu Xiangqin had blabbed about the whole thing. In any case, there was no visible reaction on my face, but he already looked as serious as if the sky was falling.
The door rattled inside, with only a slit open, revealing half a face that was not my father's.
Do you still remember when we came to Beijing, it was my first time leaving hometown by train. Yanyan and I parted silently, carrying the reluctance to leave home, and boarded the train. The rumbling sound of the train tracks calmed and comforted me, because I found that the place I was going to was connected to home by two long rails, and I could touch the other side of the world along the long rails.
I sneer: "You say you're not here, but you are. You say you have no money, but you must have money."
I'm looking for Ning Wude. I persist.
Simplified Chinese to English translation: Suo Li handed me the suitcase and said hesitantly, "Anyway, I hope to see you again at the beginning of next semester."
With my mother's words, my heart sank, almost sinking into the depths of the abyss. I felt as if there was no bottom or end, unable to see the way forward.
After all, one cannot eat pride, and it cannot save Ye Ye's life. This is all I can do.
I grit my teeth and ask again, "Can Auntie Dame lend us some?"
Because I have made up my mind, I will do whatever it takes to make some money. Anyway, when it comes to the remaining 80,000 yuan, I know the value of my own face, and even more so the value of my father's face.
I went to their house to borrow. I suddenly looked up, preparing to go to Uncle Da's house to borrow money.
Here is a hospital, and crying is not worth any money.
He inside the door said, "We don't have money at home today. I will bring it to you tomorrow. Hurry up and leave!"
My lips carry a faint, absent-minded smile, while my heart is flooded with boundless bitterness. As I turn around the ticket gate and quietly look back, I catch a glimpse of Suoli and Liu Xiangqin, and for some reason, I know that this is probably the last time I will see them.
No matter who looks down on me, it doesn't matter. It's not their turn!
He lacks the courage and the ability to keep me.
Similarly, I have no reason and it is impossible for me to stay.
I nodded my head, indicating that I understood. Although I know that the possibility of returning to school is very slim, so slim that I feel like it's a dream.
How many people walked in apathetically, crying as they walked out, and how many more walked in crying, only to walk out apathetically.
Finally, the door creaked open again, and a stack of banknotes was thrown out from inside.
