big city small home

Chapter 46
Lu Zhenzhong had just stepped into Costa's outer area separated by wooden frame flowerpots, when he was stopped by someone: "Excuse me, are you a colleague of Yaming?"

Lu Zhenzhong turned his head in doubt.

What appeared in his field of vision was an ordinary and ordinary woman.Over-the-shoulder straight hair that doesn't require frequent haircuts, elegant light makeup, and clothes that are between conservative and open.There was a friendly, even humble smile on his face.

Lu Zhenzhong quickly thought of his sister.The woman sitting at the table in front of him and greeting him felt like an upgraded version of his sister.If my sister lives in a big city, it should be like this, right?
Lu Zhenzhong asked back, "Are you... Mrs. Jin?"

The smile on He Qi's face widened immediately.She supported the table with her hands, sat down, folded her hands, propped her chin, and said in a gentle Northeast accent: "I'm sorry, I don't know your taste, so I didn't help you order in advance. I'm not used to coffee, so I won’t order anymore. I’m making you laugh.”

Her simplicity and honesty made him feel good.

He Qi has a northeast accent, but not strong.Compared with the Northeast people in my impression, she has a small frame and delicate features.His gestures are gentle.For a while, Lu Zhenzhong couldn't associate her with the suave and extravagant Jin Yaming.

The two sat under the dark green parasol, not knowing where to start talking.

He Qi laughed to herself first: "I have never met any of Yaming's colleagues face to face. The reason why I recognize you is because I have seen photos of you playing football together. On Yaming's mobile phone."

Lu Zhenzhong smiled mischievously.He moved his butt anxiously.He Qi's impression was too simple and peaceful, so that he didn't know how to bring the topic to the cruel fact.

After deliberating for a while with lowered eyes, Lu Zhenzhong decided to speak directly.

"I'm sorry. I lent Jin Yaming 30 yuan, and there is a transfer record. The 30 yuan was my father's life-saving money for medical treatment. My father was just diagnosed with lung cancer. It was originally said that I would only borrow it for a week, but..." Lu Zhenzhong pulled his phone, busy While showing He Qi the transfer records, she inadvertently raised her head and immediately stopped talking.

He Qi's eyes were out of focus and her face was pale.

"Are you OK?"

"Did he gamble again?"

The two people's eyes met, and each other's eyes were desolate.

He turned out to be a habitual offender.

He Qi was overwhelmed by the sudden bad news, lost control of her emotions, and wanted to confide.

She said she first discovered Jin Yaming gambling online not long after her wedding.At that time, a bet was tens or hundreds of dollars, and his monthly salary was tens of thousands.She wanted to gamble for fun, so she didn't control it.

It wasn't until one day that he found out that the bank statement had become six figures, and he lost a month's salary in one night, and he panicked.She had a showdown with him and expressed her attitude. He immediately reflected deeply and asked for a letter of guarantee.

She was too young and too innocent to realize the deceit hidden in the smoothness.

"I thought she would be able to find clues as long as she checked her credit card and bank statement frequently."

There will be no problems with the consumption of credit cards and the flow of salary cards in the next few months.He Qi gradually relaxed, thinking that the gambling matter was over.

"One night after half a year of marriage, he suddenly knelt down to me, hugged my leg and wailed desperately, with snot and tears, he couldn't pull himself up."

A gust of wind blew by, and a lock of He Qi's hair was glued to his face, adding to the sadness.

Lu Zhenzhong bowed anxiously.In fact, he had no intention of listening to the cause and effect. He only cared about whether He Qi could transfer his 30 yuan to him.But He Qi was deeply immersed in the narration of the past.Maybe for her, pouring out is also a kind of venting.

"I was terrified. I can't figure out what happened to make him suddenly lose his temper. He just told me that he took a loan online."

There is no problem with credit card consumption and bank statement, because he didn't spend the money at home at all.He went to borrow money online to spend, and what he pledged was personal information.ID card, work permit, work unit, mobile phone address book, etc.

Jin Yaming borrowed [-] to [-] yuan, but only got [-] to [-] yuan.After playing online for a while with wins and losses, I completely lost all the money I borrowed.At that time, he still had doubts about not taking out more loans; he was still ashamed, and the loan collector threatened him that he would blow up his address book, which scared him so much that he knelt down and confessed to He Qi that night.

"At that time, we just bought a house in Songjiang, and we were very nervous. But we couldn't get divorced because of [-] to [-] yuan, right? I had to search around, find someone to borrow money, and help him repay the online loan."

Lu Zhenzhong cleared his throat.A little bit of a bad feeling.He really wanted to interject and ask her how old she is now at marriage?I feel too ungentlemanly.

He Qi continued to narrate in a sad voice.

She borrowed money.The friend advised her not to give the money to Jin Yaming, but to help Jin Yaming repay the loan directly.The reason is that gamblers are not to be trusted.The friend also advised her not to let him go easily, but to have a punishment mechanism.For example, help him repay the loan, but after that, the monthly salary must be handed in in full, and she will give him living expenses as appropriate.

He Qi has a thin skin, but the reality is cruel, forcing her to learn how to be aggressive.

Only then did she reveal that this matter could not be settled easily, and Jin Yaming cried again.This time he not only knelt down, but also took out a gleaming meat cleaver, asking him to love her sincerely, and if he refused to change his will in the future and failed her again, he would chop off his little finger.

He Qi, who grew up in An An, had never seen such a scene.Her classmate's suggestion had long been forgotten by her, and she immediately forgave him with tears.

She attributed his weakness and lack of self-control to his mother's doting on him.I didn't see that love of vanity is Jin Yaming's real Achilles' heel.

Afterwards, He Qi regretted helping Jin Yaming repay the online loan so easily, worrying that he would resurface.But Jin Yaming's performance was impeccable.He procrastinates until the last minute every day, and if he doesn't go out, he will be late before going out; he will go home honestly after work, and urge her to go to bed at 1 o'clock in the evening.

He doesn't give himself an iota of personal time.This desperate approach made He Qi slowly relax again.Just when she thought you were the one and the future was full of bright possibilities, Lu Zhenzhong came to her door and said that she lent Jin Yaming 30 yuan!
Tears rolled down from He Qi's eye sockets in slow motion, slid down the neglected cheeks, and fell on the chin.

Lu Zhenzhong felt her sadness and helplessness, so he didn't mention that Jin Yaming actually borrowed a lot of money from his colleagues.Someone with good deeds made a statistic, conservatively estimating at least 120 million.

The teardrops that fell on the jaw fell on Costa's small round table with a "click".

Lu Zhenzhong was attracted by the small ball of water.Inexplicably thinking of his sister.

Although his brother-in-law is not as unscrupulous as Jin Yaming, he has limited ability and can only earn hard money and work outside the home all year round.The elder sister is alone, pulling the children and taking care of the bedridden elderly.Have you ever shed tears silently with a heavy heart like He Qi in front of you?
