"Are you prostitution?" Qi Nuliang stood at the door of Bamei Rong's house, his chest heaving and he asked this sentence.

No matter men or women, people who like her or don't like her, no one has ever asked her such a thing, Rong Bamei didn't even think it was an insult for a while, but she was a little dazed.

"is not it?"

She suddenly smiled and said: "Why, you only know now?" She turned sideways to give up a place where only one person can enter and exit, "Are you here to take care of my business today?"

Qi Nuliang walked in from the seat she vacated, went straight to the sofa and sat down, looking at her: "Yao Huilan, did she also do this back then?"

Hearing this question, Bamei Rong put away her smile.

She walked over and sat down beside him, smoked a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it for Qi Nuliang first, then lit another one for herself, took a deep breath, and crossed her legs.

"Who did you hear?"

Qi Nuliang only looked at Rong Bamei, the pain and pleading in his eyes were clear: "You tell me, don't you?"

"Yes." Rong Bamei lit a cigarette with her index finger painted scarlet nails, and shook some ash into the ashtray on the coffee table.

"Why do you do this?"

"Why else, of course for money."

Qi Nuliang was silent, the cigarette ash in his hand lasted too long and fell onto his pants.

Rong Bamei saw him, patted him, and suddenly smiled: "Maybe it's because I like these men."

Qi Nuliang bowed his waist and put his elbows on his knees. He kept this posture and didn't speak for a long time.

Rong Bamei lives on the first floor, even in the daytime, the light is not very good, and the silhouette of a man sitting motionless is like a gray stone.

Of course she knows why he is so uncomfortable, as long as she cares, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.It is self-evident that the man who can raise Yao Huilan's child without any complaints cares about her, but it is a pity that she is no longer around.

Seeing that they are familiar with each other and that Qi Nuliang is not as annoying as other men, she comforted him not indifferently: "You have also brought Jiang Yu through for several years, how difficult it is when life gets tough. , It’s not that I don’t know. People are like this, after all, they have to choose a path and live on.”

The word "Jiang Yu" is like a needle point, it just hits Qi Nuliang's heart and wakes him up abruptly.Another kind of fresh, pervasive physical and mental pain made his eyes turn red.

He covered his face: "Jiang Yu also knows, doesn't he?"

"His mother really wanted to hide it from him, but that kid is as smart as anything, I don't think he can hide it."

Qi Nuliang's breathing was stagnant, and the great sorrow flooded him like a tide, drowning him in an instant.He didn't speak, and there was no other sound, only the silent and slight trembling of his shoulders.

Bamei Rong had nothing else to say, she just patted him on the shoulder.

She finished one cigarette, lit another and finished it.After a long time, Qi Nuliang said: "Tell me about Yao Huilan, tell me about her."

"say what?"

"casual."

Rong Bamei didn't know where to start, she just said what came to her mind.

When she hid here to give birth, she had no one to rely on, and no one wanted to see her. Only Yao Huilan took the initiative to talk to her and help her, and she naturally became close to her.

It didn't take long for Bamei Rong to guess what she was doing for the strange men who came in and out of her house.But the two women in similar situations quickly reached a tacit understanding, and she neither picked Yao Huilan nor revealed it.The one who got pregnant before marriage, and the one who used her body to make money, are all objects of disgust and exclusion by the world, and no one should look down on anyone.On the contrary, the two women held hands and were companions, and life was a little easier.

"I've never seen her laugh so much. What's the life like, I don't know what to be happy about every day.

"She's different from others. She doesn't do business with the married men nearby. You say she has a conscience, but it's useless. Those women hate her to death. Why? Because men like her, even if they don't let her sleep, even if they look at her or say a few words, they are willing to circle her like flies.

"Old Liu at the mahjong parlor at the entrance of the alley, his mother-in-law is so powerful, she can't stop him from running to her house several times a day. She doesn't do business with him, but she still has a good face towards him, and there is Liang Mazi. I don't know." How can she talk and laugh with some hunched and pockmarked people."

"Why doesn't she get married?" Qi Nuliang's voice was so tight that it was hoarse.

Even if the second marriage brings children, there should still be many men willing to marry her.Although he hoped that Yao Huilan would wait for him to come out, if it really came to this point, even if she got married again, he would not blame her.

"Someone wants to marry her, but she wants people to treat her son as her own. That's not counting. She also said that she will never have children with anyone. Originally, she and the owner of the noodle shop almost got married, and she didn't even have children. It was settled, but the Deng family's parents disagreed, and the quarrel was ugly, so they finally broke up." Bamei Rong raised the corners of her lips and sneered twice, "Man, that's the way it is."

Speaking of Yao Huilan, Bamei Rong also fell into those old memories.Those pasts include Yao Huilan and herself.

"For years, I hated her to death."

Because of hatred, he insulted and satirized her bitterly, never showed a good face, and threw out all the fruit and food she gave her as an apology.So even if they reconciled later, that boy Jiang Yu still bears her grudge.

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but want to say those things for the first time back then.

"Xiaodie didn't have a child out of wedlock. Before she was born, her biological father didn't want her. Not long after giving birth to Xiaodie, I met a small owner of a clothing store. He was much older than me, divorced, and had no children. He wants to be good to me. Every time he buys goods, he brings the latest styles for me to choose first. Seeing that I have no milk, he buys imported milk powder box by box for Xiaodie. He also promises that when I have one, he will marry me.

"Later I was pregnant. We booked a banquet and sent out invitations, but he slept with Yao Huilan. I have long since lost contact with my family. I originally wanted her to be my mother's family and take me on the red carpet.

"One said he didn't know he was my fiancé, and the other said he was just obsessed with ghosts." Rong Bamei smiled sadly, "I finally know why women hate her so much. Because it can't be compared. You made a mistake, but you know it's not. You can tell from his dazed eyes and unconscious expression that he has lost his soul. It's just that he doesn't love you. No one can tolerate such a woman that her husband can't forget in his dreams. ?

"At that time, I was still too young, and I had only one tendon in my mind. Thinking about it later, men, women, love, and marriage are all the same thing. So now I regret it. If I didn't make a big fuss and have an abortion, if Married, at least my mother and I are living a lot better now, I have one more child, Xiaodie also has more brothers or sisters."

Bamei Rong pursed her red lips, and a line of tears rolled down her big eyes with eyeliner. She reached out and wiped them clean: "Don't talk about this, how many years have passed. After all, besides making people uncomfortable, It's useless." She patted Qi Nuliang on the shoulder, "Forget it."

After Qi Nuliang bought Jiang Yu a bicycle, Li Cui also bought one with a back seat after seeing it as fun.Jiang Yu rode a bike, Zhou Zhiheng rode Li Cui's bike to take her, so that after school, the three of them still walked together for a while.

Li Cui grabbed Zhou Zhiheng's schoolbag belt, turned to Jiang Yu who was next to him and said, "Hey, let's talk to you, copy the physics of the final exam for me, and I'll treat you to Dicos after the exam."

"You are not in the same examination room, how do you copy?"

Li Cui took out his mobile phone, and the bell on the mobile phone chain made a series of crisp sounds: "He has a mobile phone, he can send me the answer."

"If you get caught, both of you should ask your parents." After persuading Li Cui, Zhou Zhiheng advised Jiang Yu again, "Don't send her the score, copying the score is meaningless."

"It's boring, but it looks comfortable."

"You want to look comfortable, why don't you study hard? In fact, we can form a study group during the winter vacation to help you improve your physics."

"Everything is boring."

Seeing that Li Cui didn't look like he was studying, Zhou Zhiheng was a little anxious: "A few days ago, I met Teacher Xie, and she said that your grades have plummeted this semester. Why?"

Li Cui didn't want to talk about this issue, and suddenly saw children forming a circle on the side of the road ahead, and pointed at them: "Are these little kids bullying people?"

"It really is."

Zhou Zhiheng squeezed the brakes and stepped on the road.He just turned his head and called Jiang Yu, but he saw his car passing by in front of him, and he didn't stop to "do what's right".

Knowing that Jiang Yu doesn't like to meddle in these things, it's okay, and it's not a problem to clean up a few elementary school students.Before he could speak, Li Cui suddenly called out: "Jiang Yu, isn't this Xiaodie from your yard?"

Zhou Zhiheng took a look and saw that Rong Xiaodie was surrounded by five boys, the books and stationery in her schoolbag were scattered all over the floor, her short pink padded jacket was covered in mud, and so was her hair.She was lying on the side of the road, holding a butterfly hairpin in her hand, crying unceasingly.

Zhou Zhiheng hurriedly pushed aside the surrounding boys, and shouted: "Hey, hey, what are you doing, how do you bully people?"

"Who are you? It's none of your business, get out of here."

When Zhou Zhiheng heard it, hey, these little bastards are really fearless.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Yu, who had turned around at some point, pulled the boy who had just spoken, and slapped the boy with "kuang kuang".

The slap was so loud that not only the other bastards were frightened, but even Zhou Zhiheng and Li Cui were taken aback.The boy who was beaten burst into tears, but that didn't stop Jiang Yu from cleaning up the others one by one.

Although he was not very good at fighting, among a group of elementary school students who were half a head shorter than him, he was already able to "kill all directions", and in an instant, there was a burst of crying.

He wanted to beat him again, but Zhou Zhiheng stopped him: "Forget it, let's teach him a lesson."

Li Cui picked up Rong Xiaodie's schoolbag, pulled her up from the ground, squatted in front of her, and wiped the mud off her body.

Jiang Yu pointed at the little head, and said coldly: "Look clearly, I am her brother, if you dare to bully her again in the future, see if I don't kill you, do you hear me?"
