I'm going to remarry my wife today

"Xiao Ke, remember to put the goods in later, pack up the bread when it's due and put it in the warehouse, I'll find someone to collect it tomorrow."

Cheng Yuke, who was doing the liquidation at the cash register, didn't bother to raise her head, and responded, "Okay, Uncle Peng, can I take some of these bread?"

"Ah... yes, yes, do you want to eat?"

"Hmm..." Cheng Yuke buried her head very low. It was the hottest months of the year in Jiangqing City, and the fan above her head was buzzing, drowning out her mosquito-like sound.

"Forget it. Come on, last month's salary, go home early today, I'll be on the night shift, you have a mock test tomorrow, right?"

Uncle Peng, the store manager of the convenience store, is a kind middle-aged uncle with thin golden eyes on the bridge of his nose, and he always calls her Xiao Ke Xiao Ke with a smile on his lips.

"Correct."

"Come on, young man! If you pass the exam, you will be rewarded!" Uncle Peng handed her a wad of cash and patted her head kindly.

Uncle Peng was old and had no children. When he saw Cheng Yuke for the first time, he felt a sense of intimacy and took care of her like a daughter.During the three months of working part-time, Cheng Yuke was also very up-to-date, never made a mistake in her work, and even planned a marketing plan to help the store sell a lot of unsalable goods.

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Peng, I will try to come over early tomorrow!"

After leaving the convenience store, Cheng Yuke had to take a bus for about four to ten minutes to get home.The father was implicated in the corruption and bribery of relatives in the family, and was arrested and imprisoned half a year ago. Therefore, all the property of the family was sealed, and the remaining three of them could only live in a dilapidated rental house. The relatives helped the sisters so that they could not drop out of school.

In the past, when walking at night, a few street lamps in the alley were the only light source, but there was a heavy rain yesterday, and the power supply bureau was afraid that the leakage caused by the aging of the line would hurt people's lives, so it urgently closed the switch of the whole area, so now the whole The residential area was pitch black.

According to the old residents here, this area is particularly unsafe, there are always criminals wandering around, and there are many dirty transactions in the corners.Including the scantily clad woman she saw now, they were all common sights on this street.

Cheng Yuke quickened her pace, she had to go home before ten o'clock, her mother was working overtime, Yu Qi should be very scared to be alone at home, but the road was bumpy and bumpy, and it was not easy to walk, plus yesterday it rained heavily and was muddy , She has to test every step she takes, so as not to fall into the mud and dirty her clothes. She only has this clean school uniform.

Suddenly, a dog barked from the iron gate of a certain house, followed by the bang of a heavy object hitting the iron gate. Several men were yelling loudly, and after a while, they came out from inside, looking drunk. It looks like he drank a lot.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuke unconsciously quickened her steps.But before he had gone far, he ran into a figure, a tall and thin monkey man ran out from the corner in a panic, tripped over Cheng Yuke inadvertently, fell down and gnawed on the mud, and waited for him to stand wobbly. When he got up, he saw the other party's expression but became ferocious.

"Little thing, borrow some money from brother?"

Cheng Yuke is very familiar with this person. There are many organizations of street gangsters in this residential area. He is the boss of one of the unprofessional groups. He has a big tiger tattooed on his neck. Everyone who knows him respectfully calls him Tiger. Brother Zi.Although the face can't be seen clearly at the moment, the high-pitched voice is too recognizable.

"Brother Huzi, I have no money..."

"No money?" Brother Huzi yelled sharply, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to grab Cheng Yuke's collar, he was about to lift it up. Annoyed by the other party's dishonest movements, he kicked Cheng Yuke directly. go up.In the eyes of these people, regardless of gender, anyone who can't pay the money will be beaten, not to mention it's dark and midnight, and they can't see clearly, "You are fooling the ghost! I know when you get paid every month! Hurry up!"

Being yelled at by him, Cheng Yuke felt a little guilty, and subconsciously covered the pocket sewn inside her clothes, which was where she used to store money.

But even such a small gesture of hers did not escape the other party's eyes, Brother Hu Zi smiled wickedly: "Hey, it's hidden here, come on, it's time to pay tribute—"

"Brother Huzi, I'll give it to you next month, next month!"

It includes the book fee she gave Cheng Yuqi and her materials fee. She is already in her third year of high school, and if she doesn't work hard, she will have nothing.So she could only desperately clutch her pockets, struggled violently, and deliberately made a loud noise, hoping that someone would come to save her.But she forgot that the people living here are all poor people, who would meddle in their own business for no reason?

"Please, don't—"

Snapped!

A slap was slapped on Cheng Yuke's face, and Brother Hu Zi gritted his teeth and warned her viciously: "Shut up, your grandpa's ears hurt from making noise, and if you resist again, you will be punished!"

Cheng Yuke's strength is not small among girls, but after all, she is facing an adult.Don't look at Brother Huzi who is as thin as a monkey, even though he used all his strength right now, he easily opened her hand that was covering the pocket of her clothes, touched a corner of kraft paper, grabbed it tightly and pulled it away. come out.

The kraft paper bag was temporarily made by Cheng Yuke out of bread wrappers, and it was not sealed at all. The banknotes just fell out of the bag and landed on the muddy ground, where they were mixed with the mud.

"Get it for me!"

Brother Huzi's shrill roar rang out again, this time grabbing Cheng Yuke's back and pressing down on the ground desperately, he didn't stop until her face was covered with mud, seeing that she didn't move, he pressed down hard again twice : "Deaf? Pick it up!"

The hot feeling on her face was relieved the moment she touched the cold mud. Cheng Yuke let out a muffled snort, and carefully searched for the money in the mud under the faint moonlight, picking up one by one. Those who were mixed in the mud were not spared.

"Every piece of land here has been pissed on by dogs. I don't want money that is stained with mud. Okay, get out!"

Brother Huzi shook the relatively clean money in his hand, and threw the muddy money on Cheng Yuke, and suddenly said, "Wait, I remember you're an adult, right? Otherwise..."

"don't want……"

Cheng Yuke's lips trembled violently, but her feet couldn't move as if they were stuck in the mud. She urged herself hard: move!move!But he could only watch helplessly as the thin face kept leaning towards him under the moonlight.

"Brother Huzi?" A figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the street, breaking the deadlock. Cheng Yuke tried hard to distinguish, and finally saw that she was the scantily clad woman, and it was clear at a glance what kind of business she was doing.The woman twisted her body and approached slowly, and put a hand on the man's shoulder, "Didn't you say to go to my place tonight? What? I've been waiting impatiently."

When Brother Huzi saw this person, he put away the hostility just now, and laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears: "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go!"

Simply ignoring Cheng Yuke who was standing there blankly, she walked towards a small courtyard next door with her arms around the woman's waist, and continued to show off the "tribute" in her hand, laughing with the woman.

"Sister, the hospital called just now! Mom passed out!"

As soon as Cheng Yuke returned to the dilapidated rental house, before she had time to take off her muddy school uniform, she was stunned by Cheng Yuqi's words. It took a long time to recover, and she quietly sucked her nose Said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll go right away. You go to bed early, lock the door, and call me if you need anything, okay?"

"Well, sister, are you okay?"

Yu Qi saw her sister's distressed face by the light of the candle. There was a lot of mud on her face and her clothes were dirty, so it was hard not to worry.

"It's okay." Cheng Yuke smiled and touched her sister's head, turned around and wiped the mud on her face with a towel, and said to her comfort, "What can I do, I accidentally slipped and fell, don't worry, let's go Bye bye."

Because the bus was out of service, and she was reluctant to take a taxi, she borrowed a [-]-style bicycle from the male duck voice uncle next door, and ran to the hospital in such a hurry, and was already sweating profusely when she arrived.

Cheng's mother suffered from severe sleep deprivation due to continuous overtime work, which led to fatigue and fainted at the work station that night.Thanks to the security uncle who found it when he was patrolling the building, he saved her life, but because of her poor health, she needed relatives to accompany her all night.

Cheng Yuke didn't close her eyes all night, and as expected, she fell asleep in the second day's exam. The preliminary exam was a no-go. Exhausted, she returned home dejectedly, and the dazzling sun was hanging high in the sky.At that time, air-conditioning was not yet popular, and the uncles and aunts who had lunch sat in the shade of the trees in twos and threes, chatting away, looking at ease.

"brat."

The scantily dressed woman last night had already changed into a housewife's attire at this time. Although she looked about 24 or [-] years old, she had a dirty apron hanging on her chest and a few glaring bruises on her exposed arms. Green, and there are new scars beside it, which seem to be caused by whips and sticks.The woman sat on the door frame with a cigarette in her mouth and waved to Cheng Yuke, showing a forced smile.

With the unpleasant experience last night, Cheng Yuke glanced at her with some reluctance, and was about to walk over as if she hadn't heard, but after two steps, the woman stopped her with her hand.

"I'm calling you, why are you so afraid of me? My sister won't eat you again."

"I do not know you."

"I know you, were you okay last night?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Cheng Yuke said coldly, but turned her head and coughed twice due to the smell of smoke.

Seeing this, the woman sighed, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it a few times before turning her head: "Is this okay? Here, take it. It may not be as much as your salary, but it's better than nothing."

"Why?" Cheng Yuke looked at the crumpled banknotes stuffed in his hands, and looked up at her in puzzlement, obviously not understanding why she would give him money for no reason.

"No reason, I know you are different from me, you still have a long way to go. Even if you encounter a lot of bad people and bad things now, never give up hope, it will get better." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to rub Cheng Yuke's head was subconsciously turned away by her.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go, don't wander around by yourself so late in the future." After speaking, the woman turned around and entered the room, leaving her with a back that was not tall and straight, as if she was very lonely.

Running around all night pushed Cheng Yuke's physical and psychological endurance to the limit. The soreness in her body made it difficult for her to get up from the bed. Before he could test it, he fell asleep again.When she woke up again, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, her mother was still in the hospital, and Yu Qi hadn't finished school yet.

She looked at the time and quickly called the convenience store. She was supposed to go to work two hours ago, but now she is too late and hasn't informed Uncle Peng, and she doesn't know if he will be angry?

But the phone rang twice in a row and no one answered, Cheng Yuke murmured in her heart: Could it be that Uncle Peng is angry?Or are you busy?No amount of speculation is better than seeing it with your own eyes.She touched her forehead, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, she rushed to the convenience store with her bag.

But when she got to the vicinity, she found that the entrance of the store had already been cordoned off. Occasionally, a few people passing by would stop to watch, but they stopped for a while, then shook their heads and walked away.A strong uneasiness rose in her heart, and she could only move towards the door of the store step by step.

What happened?
