When I went to school the next day, the prickly heads in the class were much calmer. Only Wang Jingkun spoke harshly to Sheng Nuan despite the bruises on his face.
"Just wait for me."
Sheng Nuan looked at him: "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to see you dressed in red?"
Wang Jingkun's face was ashen and he gritted his teeth and left...
Sheng Nuan didn't pay attention to him at all.
For young gangsters at this age, the only way to do evil is to find a group of people to beat and intimidate. That is their only ability, but they themselves feel very powerful because of it.
She didn't skip class today. She left school after school. When she just walked into the street, heavy rain suddenly came.
Sheng Nuan saw at a glance that Xu Le was groping to put the fruit back into the small facade.
He didn't need the blind cane in a familiar place, but after all he couldn't see it, and it was very slow to put it away by groping.
Sheng Nuan was speechless when she thought of how he was reporting to Sou Sou, but after all, she couldn't help but watch a blind man struggling to clean up in the rain.
She walked over without saying a word and helped him put the fruits outside into the baskets and move them into the shop. Xu Le noticed someone almost immediately, turned around and asked, "Who is it?"
Sheng Nuan said nothing.
Xu Le paused for a moment, then continued with a smile: "No need to help, and no need to rush to collect it. There is surveillance in front, so it will be fine if it is left outside."
Sheng Nuan glanced at the disconnected surveillance camera at the intersection ahead, and understood instantly.
Xu Le was worried that someone would take the opportunity to steal the fruit, so he said this deliberately... He couldn't see it, so he could only use this method.
Thinking of the old man who stole the fruit yesterday, Sheng Nuan felt speechless again.
Why are there such shameless people? It's just fruit. If you can't afford it, you don't have to eat it... can you really eat the fruit that a blind man steals?
Sheng Nuan quickly moved several large frames in without saying a word, turned around and was about to leave, but looked at the empty small-fronted room and the heavy rain outside, paused for a moment, and opened her umbrella at the door.
When Xu Le walked out of the front room and accidentally touched the umbrella, Sheng Nuan had already put his schoolbag on his head and ran away.
In fact, it wasn't that far back, it didn't take more than five minutes to run, but the rain was a bit heavy and I was still soaked.
When she entered the door, her grandma was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly came up to her with a towel: "What's going on? Why is it so wet? Where's your umbrella?"
Sheng Nuan smiled and said: "I forgot to bring it in the classroom."
The old lady felt very distressed: "You kid, I didn't stuff it in your schoolbag. Why did you leave it in the classroom? Look at how wet it is."
On the other side, when Xu Le was walking back to the small yard with a blind cane in one hand and an umbrella in the other, he heard someone walking by.
"Oh, my daughter came back from being soaked in the water. I asked her to cook some ginger soup, only to find that there was no ginger at home. Thank you, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
Another old lady scolded: "It's just a piece of ginger. Look at you and you're still being polite to me."
The footsteps walked away, Xu Le held the umbrella in his hand, paused, and continued to move forward without saying a word...
When he walked into the house, he heard his mother coming out of the bedroom.
"Lele is back, ah, is it raining?"
The woman's voice sounded a little guilty: "I didn't know it was raining when I was asleep, so I would have picked you up..."
"I'm fine." Xu Le put away his umbrella.
The woman who looked like she was still in her forties and still had a lot of tiredness on her face. She washed her hands and hurried to the kitchen: "Can you eat roasted cabbage today? I'll go to work after dinner, and I'll come back to wash the dishes for you tomorrow morning.
Leave it alone."
Xu Le fumbled to sit on the sofa and accidentally pressed the remote control. The TV suddenly turned on and the sound was quite loud.
In the kitchen, the woman looked out, paused for a moment, and walked out: "Lele, what's wrong? Why are you in a bad mood?"
Xu Le smiled: "No."
"Is someone gossiping with you again?" The woman looked a little nervous: "Or is someone bullying you?"
Xu Le still smiled and shook his head: "No."
The woman pursed her lips, paused, and touched her son's head: "Lele, Mom has saved a lot of money. In another year at most, we can perform surgery on your eyes."
Xu Le paused for a moment, then said, "I'm fine like this."
He whispered: "When you are free, go to the hospital to check your stomach problem first." Bayi Chinese website
The woman went back to the kitchen and continued cooking: "I'm fine, don't worry about it... I just drank a little too much."
"Lele, if anyone bullies you, you must tell your mother. See if I don't scold them to death. Also, don't listen to those people's nonsense, you know?"
"Don't pay attention to them. When you cure your eyes, we won't have to live in such a shabby place. Mom will take you to a big city."
"You don't have to pay attention to the people here, they are just ordinary people...Don't be stupid and give fruit to those bastards, they are not good people."
"Last time, the woman named Liu pretended to help you and ate your fruit, but then she just talked to others, and there was no good thing..."
Xu Le sat quietly on the sofa without speaking.
It rained for a long time that day and didn't stop until midnight.
Xu Le was lying on the bed in the small bedroom, touching the book under the pillow with one hand.
He became blind after a car accident three years ago... The doctor said that the cornea can be replaced, but it will cost a lot of money and require a donor.
He insisted on going to school before, but it was too inconvenient, so he moved here with his mother.
Then I never went to school again.
People nearby knew that his mother was selling alcohol, and they were polite on the surface, but there were many gossips behind her back, and they didn't even avoid him before.
He just couldn't see, and those people seemed to think he was deaf too.
In the eyes of those people, selling alcohol is selling one's body, especially for an older woman.
They won't talk about how this woman, who has two elders to support and a blind son in her hometown, can make a living as an uneducated woman... They just think that you dress up in a fancy way and you sell wine among men. You just have a bad style and are shameless. You should be scolded!
When he first set up a fruit stall to support his family, he gave away a lot...until he discovered that some aunts would take fruits to thank him, but then talk about their mother.
"It's so shameless to still accompany you for drinks at such a young age."
"I feel ashamed looking at the people who dress up every day. They are a disaster..."
"Who knows if there is any internal disease."
While those people felt that their mother and child were dirty, they ate the fruits he gave them with peace of mind and watched indifferently as the children at home gathered around him and called him blind.
Later, Xu Le never gave away even a single piece of fruit. If he couldn't sell the fruit, he would rather rot it or throw it in the garbage dump. He never gave it to those people again.
Gradually, most of the neighbors began to treat him and his mother as transparent people.
But today, someone helped him pack the fruit and left him an umbrella...
In fact, even if she didn't hear her grandmother's words, Xu Le knew it was her.
He has heard it from those people: Teacher Mu's granddaughter, oh, she is as tall and thick as a bear, so ugly, she said she was sick and took medicine when she was a child... Girls, when they grow up like this, they will be considered ugly in the future.
It's over.
For them, it is a crime to be beautiful, and it is a crime to be ugly. Only if you are like them and can't tell who is who in a crowd, you are a serious person.
That day, he was deliberately surrounded by several naughty children, and he actually heard the girl trying to stop her.
But he didn't pay attention.
And the next day she helped him move the electric car that was blocking the road...
She was very friendly to him, but so what, in a few days, she would learn about their family from the neighbors, and then join those people...
