Chapter 40 The Poor Couple

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The store door was opened, and two high school students walked in, found a table at the door and sat down.

Cai Gen stepped forward diligently, and at first glance, he looked familiar. One of them seemed to be the guy who ordered beer from 707. It turned out that he was just a high school student. The tattoo he saw last time made him think he was a member of society.

But today, this young man is a little strange. His eyes are red and swollen, as if he had cried just now, and there are a few scratches on his face.

"What do you two want?"

The man with scratches on his face spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, his mood was low, and he did not recognize Cai Gen.

"Two bottles of beer, nothing else."

The boy no longer had the same bad temper as when he delivered the beer the day before yesterday. Cai Gen took two cans of beer and two cups, and then sat down in front of the fly.

As soon as the young man came in, the fly kept watching to see Cai Gen come back, and silently said to Cai Gen,

"This is the target of high school students who jump off buildings."

When Cai Gen saw it, he was very surprised. The fire of gossip was burning brightly. Such a big thing happened just now. Why do you still have the intention to drink?

By the way, all the nearby restaurants are closed, and there is no other choice. I just came here to stabilize my mood.

The pair of guys opened the beer and drank directly from the can instead of a cup. One of the guys took a big sip and said,

"Wang Si, you shouldn't have come. That bitch will die if she dies. Why are you going forward? Looking at Tian Lingling, she really wants to fight you to the death."

The boy named Wang Si, who probably had scratches on his face, also took a big sip and said tremblingly,

"Xiaowu, I don't want to come either, but, but, I'm really scared. I saw Tian Lingling jumping off the building last night, so I ran back home. As a result, I dreamed of Tian Lingling at night, and her head was flat.

She kept chasing me and trying to strangle me to death. I was so scared that I wanted to kowtow to her and beg her to let me go."

The boy named Xiaowu was a little scared when he heard what Wang Si said, but he still comforted him,

"You may be under too much psychological pressure. You like her. What's wrong with you? Does her jumping off a building have anything to do with you?"

Wang Si took another sip of beer and seemed reluctant to say it, but he still mustered up the courage to say it.

"After she rejected me, I deliberately let the teacher discover the love letter. It was also me who spread gossip about Tian Lingling's father. Who would have thought that she could commit suicide by jumping off a building? She pretended to be in front of me. It's really disturbing."

Xiao Wu was very surprised. What's the reason? This is a bit bad and there is no way to get rid of the relationship.

"Ah, what should you do? I won't let you lose money, right?"

After drinking down the beer in one breath, Wang Si seemed to have made up his mind.

"If she pays some money, she can get through, and I admit it, but looking at her mother's attitude, she seems to be relying on me. I haven't dared to tell my father yet, and I will probably get beaten again. You don't know, in the dream yesterday

, Tian Lingling is so scary, I kind of regret it."

Nodding in agreement, Xiaowu said a little complaining,

"You said you messed with someone, but she? But the school is the main responsibility, right? Will the school lose money?"

"It shouldn't be obvious on the surface. If you admit responsibility, you are admitting that you are making up lessons. Maybe you will keep it private. I also just recited it. After the dream, I called my grandma and thought about asking her to help me take a look. My fourth aunt said

Grandma has gone into seclusion and stopped looking at things. She doesn’t look at anyone else’s things, and I am his grandson, so I don’t even look at them.”

Cai Gen and Fei Fei were eavesdropping attentively. The store door was opened again, and a middle-aged couple walked in. As soon as they entered the room, they rushed towards the two high school students and cursed,

"Little bastard, you're hiding here. I'm not done with you. I'll fight you tooth and nail. You pay for my Lingling's life."

When Wang Si and Xiao Wuyi saw the person, they were shocked. They avoided the couple's entanglement, opened the door and ran away.

The couple also chased out.

Neither Cai Gen nor Fei Yi reacted. Everything happened a bit fast. The couple Cai Gen met last night was Tian Lingling's parents.

Maybe you're tired at the school gate and it's cold outside, so you want to find a restaurant to rest for a while?

This is really a narrow road. Who makes Cai Gen's store the only one nearby?

Jinggu listened to the gossip, and the beer money was still confiscated. Cai Gen began to feel depressed, and flies were very incapable of seeing.

"You see, I'm right. I jumped off the building because my partner jumped off the building. If it were me, I would have to beat this kid to death. By the way, Lao Gen, have you eaten? I'm a little hungry."

Are you hungry early in the morning to watch the fun? What kind of mental illness is this? Cai Gen said angrily,

"I haven't eaten either. I'm still hungry. Didn't you hear the man named Wang Si say that he was rejected? He is not a target."

Seeing that Cai Gen had no intention of cooking, the fly consciously went to the back kitchen. After looking around, he found that there was nothing to eat. He returned to the front hall and took 10 yuan from Cai Gen's money box.

"Lao Gen, I'm going to buy buns for you."

After saying that, without waiting for Cai Gen to answer, he opened the door and went out.

This is not the first time such a thing has happened. Cai Gen is also numb. It’s not a big deal to eat or drink something. Looking at the appearance of this really villain, he is a little cute.

Soon, the door rang again, and the couple came back. It seemed that they had not caught up with the two high school students. As soon as they entered the room, they said to Cai Gen,

"Boss, can I sit in your room? It'll be warm."

This couple had a lot of dirt on their bodies and their eye circles were red and swollen. They looked very pitiful. Cai Gen had no reason to refuse.

"It's okay, do you want some hot water?"

The man was very cautious and said quickly,

"No, thank you, we'll leave after a while."

After saying that, the couple sat down. When Cai Gen saw it, his face turned red from the cold, but he still poured two glasses of boiling water and brought it to them. The man was very polite, stood up, thanked him, and drank the hot water.

Cai Gen was still sitting not far away, wanting to hear how things were progressing.

Tian Lingling's mother took a sip of hot water and cried softly. The man opposite saw an ashtray on the table, so he took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked without saying anything.

After crying for a while, the woman suddenly thought of something and whispered quickly,

"Meet the school leaders this afternoon. You can't let go. You must make them pay for it. Lingling jumped from the building at the school. They are responsible."

The man smoked a cigarette and said in a sullen voice,

"If everyone is gone, why do we still need money? I just want to catch that little brat and beat him to death to pay for Lingling's life."

The woman complained,

"Isn't it fair to kill someone without paying for it? Let that kid pay for it too. It's all because that kid wrote a love letter to Lingling."

The man looked up and stared at the woman, a little excited.

"Lingling has told me that she has nothing to do with that boy. If you don't go to school to make trouble, Lingling will not die."

After hearing the man's words, the woman became even more excited.

"Who am I doing for? Am I not doing it for Lingling? She has dropped from first to third. I have spent so much money, is she worthy of me?"

Seeing the woman's raised voice and excited expression, the man softened.

"Stop quarreling. There's no one around. What's the point of talking about it? How will we live in the future at our age?"

Yes, for an only child who lost her son in middle age, life will be difficult after that. Cai Gen also felt sad for the couple.
