After An Lan finished speaking, Gao Sheng continued: "I just took a look at the bill. It would be difficult to find out the problem without doing an inventory. I guess the problem should be with the materials. What exactly is going on? What is the problem?
You’ll have to take stock to find out.”
I nodded thoughtfully: "You can do it, but you have to wait until after the event in two days."
After discussing the inventory, An Lan checked the time and prepared to go to the kindergarten to pick up Xiaoman after school.
I had nothing to do, so I went with her to pick up Xiaoman from the kindergarten.
As long as I don't have anything else important to do, I will still pick up Xiaoman in person, because I won't be able to experience this kind of life for long.
For me, the most important thing now is my family, and my work is just to make their lives better.
After picking up Xiaoman and returning home, since it was still early, I planned to cook a dinner for them myself, which also happened to give my aunt some rest.
But my aunt is still not idle, she keeps helping me.
But I felt that she was a little absent-minded. When she was peeling the bamboo shoots with a knife, she even accidentally cut her finger.
She has been working in our house for so long and has always been very careful. This is the first time I have seen this.
And I feel like she's very worried, and you can tell what's on someone's mind, not to mention that I'm a person who likes to figure out other people's psychology.
I couldn't help but take the initiative to ask her: "Aunt Wang, did something happen to you?"
"Ah? Well, no...it's okay." Aunt Wang said hesitantly.
I said to her again: "It's okay, just tell me anything. If I can help you, I will definitely help."
Aunt Wang sighed and said somewhat unspeakably: "I...I want to borrow some money from you, okay?"
I'm just saying, it's impossible for her to be so absent-minded all of a sudden, and looking at her like this, it's not a big deal.
Of course I didn't ask her what happened immediately, but asked her: "How much do you want?"
She hesitated for a while and then said: "One hundred thousand."
One hundred thousand is not much to me, but she is just a nanny in my family. It would be a bit inappropriate to just lend her money like this.
Although she has done well in the past few days since she came to my house, An Lan and I and even Xiaoman like her very much. She is clean and careful in her work. Does she have any bad habits?
But I couldn't lend her one hundred thousand yuan without hesitation.
I had to ask her: "What happened? Why do you want so much at once?"
She still looked very embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before finally saying: "My son failed to live up to his expectations. He fought with others outside and sent him to the hospital. He was asked to pay compensation, more than 100,000 yuan. I
Now it’s only a fraction, still short of 100,000.”
I was stunned and asked: "How old is your son?"
"I'm 28 this year."
28 is no longer young, are you still so ignorant?
If it were something else, I wouldn't hesitate, but if you injure someone else, you should bear criminal responsibility.
In the silence, Aunt Wang sighed again and said: "I have spoiled him since he was a child. He has caused me a lot of troubles since he was a child. This is not the first time that everyone has lost money... A few years ago, he also
My hand was broken, and later I was asked to pay more than 30,000 yuan in compensation."
"Has he always been like this?"
"I can't help it, I can't control him."
"Then don't worry about it and let the police take care of it."
"But...he is still my son! How can I have no reason to ignore him?"
An Lan seemed to have heard the conversation between Aunt Wang and me outside, and then came to the kitchen door and answered: "Aunt Wang, if you control this situation more, he will become more unruly... and he will
At 28 years old, it’s time to bear all the consequences on your own.”
I nodded in agreement and said, "Aunt Wang, it's not that I don't want to help you. If it was for other things, I would definitely lend it to you, but this is really not possible, so I advise you to leave it alone."
Aunt Wang sighed heavily: "If someone says he doesn't pay compensation, he will go to jail!"
"If you take care of it again, it won't be as simple as losing money next time."
Although what I said is a bit outrageous, it is true.
Although I can understand her feelings as a mother, sometimes her actions can harm her children.
An Lan and I tried hard to persuade her for a long time, and she finally thought more openly and said with a long breath: "Yes, you are right. If I continue to take care of it, I may kill people next time. Just leave it alone and let him
Go to the cell and be disciplined!”
An Lan and I persuaded her a few more times, and Aunt Wang's knot was finally relieved.
She talked about her daughter. Her daughter was very good and she had always been very proud of her.
…
In the evening, after taking a shower, I was getting ready to go to bed when my cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked up the phone and took a look at the caller, and it turned out to be Su Tao.
After hesitating for a moment, I answered the call.
"Hey, do you know the owner of this number?" A man's voice came over.
I looked at my phone again suspiciously and made sure it was Su Tao's call.
"I know you, who are you?"
The background sound on the phone was very noisy, and there was faint singing.
"This is a bar in Jiangbei." He said, "The owner was drunk. When I asked her about her family, she said your name, so I called her on her mobile phone. Can you come?
Will you pick her up?"
"What?" It's not that I didn't hear clearly, but I was a little surprised.
So he repeated it again, and I asked again: "Is she drunk?"
"Well, we don't feel safe with her alone. Come and pick her up."
It’s not okay for me to agree, and it’s not okay for me not to agree, so I had to agree first.
After getting the address, I started to hesitate.
Because it is indeed inconvenient for me to pick her up in the middle of the night. How can I, a married man, do it conveniently?
I originally thought about calling Gao Sheng and asking Gao Sheng to pick it up.
But when I thought about it, Gao Sheng was also a married man, and he had not had any affairs with women since he got married.
Then there is only Chen Dajiang. Although he has a girlfriend, at least he is not married, which makes sense.
I simply called Chen Dajiang and said to him: "Hey, Dajiang, are you okay now? Go pick up someone."
"Brother Chen, I'm in Chengdu! Didn't I tell you yesterday that something happened to my sister?"
Only then did I remember that Chen Dajiang called me yesterday to ask for leave, saying that his sister seemed to have borrowed a loan shark or something, and that he would go back and take care of it.
I was stunned for a moment and then said to him: "Okay, I really forgot. Have you dealt with it?"
"It's a bit troublesome. My sister has disappointed me too much." Chen Dajiang sighed heavily.
"Don't worry, if you need my help if you need anything, just tell me."
Chen Dajiang responded and I hung up the phone.
Now that both Gao Sheng and Chen Dajiang are busy, it seems that I am the only one to make a trip.
I came to the bedroom and said to An Lan: "An Lan, I just received a call from the bar staff, saying that Su Tao was drunk alone in the bar. I don't know the specific situation. I'll go take a look.
ah?"
"She alone?"
I nodded, looked at my watch again and said, "It's so late, why is she going to the bar to drink alone!"
"Today is her birthday."
"This...then go quickly and come back soon."
An Lan was still very considerate, so I nodded quickly and said, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
