In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
Lin Yaqin held her breath, tiptoed to the door, and looked out through the crack.
After confirming that the mother and son had indeed disappeared at the alley entrance, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was beating faster.
Her hands were shaking with excitement as she stumbled to the old elm box in the corner.
The rice and oil were all in a box, which was very heavy. She used all her strength to push the box forward bit by bit, and finally she was able to move it away!
The box legs made a harsh scraping sound on the ground, which scared her a lot! Fortunately, it was a false alarm. This family hated dogs, so no one cared about it at all!
The crack in the wall behind the box was dark. She carefully felt around brick by brick and finally found a loose brick.
She carefully pulled out the brick, and a small package wrapped in rags appeared before her eyes.
When she opened it, she saw a neatly stacked stack of money, some in small and some in whole, as well as some food coupons and cloth coupons. Useful and useless money were all mixed together. There was quite a lot of it. It was obvious that the old woman had been saving up for her coffin for many years.
Lin Yaqin didn't care about being happy, and reached her hand into the crack of the wall. Sure enough, her fingertips touched something tightly wrapped in oil paper.
Her hands were shaking with excitement as she carefully took it out and opened it layer by layer - it was indeed her household registration booklet!
Also inside were important documents such as the neighborhood committee certificate and divorce certificate.
As for the two hundred yuan she brought with her, it was probably mixed into the old woman's coffin book long ago.
She quickly and carefully put away all the money and documents, and when she was about to put the empty cloth bag back to its original place, she suddenly had an idea!
He stuffed the old woman's foot binding into the cloth bag, making it bulge, and then stuffed it back into the crack in the wall.
He then carefully reset the bricks and laboriously pushed the heavy box back to its original place, even sprinkling a handful of dust on the feet of the box to cover up any traces of movement.
After doing all this, she was exhausted and out of breath. She collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
She initially considered running away, but when she thought of the money Gao Zhiqiang had on him, she hesitated. After much deliberation, she decided to take a gamble.
He held the household registration book and money tightly in his hands, and was about to run away, but then he thought of the money on Gao Zhiqiang.
After much hesitation, I decided to take a gamble.
After thinking this through, she grabbed the small cloth bag containing money and documents, rushed out of the yard, and trotted all the way to the train station.
I bought a hard seat ticket to Ji City in the early morning.
Then she wandered around the station and finally chose a secluded corner!
She looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, she quickly wrapped her ID and some money in oil paper, carefully stuffed them into the gap, and covered them with soil to camouflage them.
After hiding her things, she straightened her clothes and walked back pretending to be calm.
He took every step carefully, fearing that others would discover his flaws.
She returned to the suffocating home and continued to work with forced calmness - sweeping the floor, washing dishes, and making the bed, as if nothing had happened.
Clean up what needs to be cleaned up, and clean what needs to be cleaned.
But those busy hands would tremble slightly from time to time because of excitement.
Sure enough, it was not until the sun set that the mother and son staggered back to the yard.
The old woman was so drunk that she collapsed on the kang as soon as she entered the door, snoring loudly.
Gao Zhiqiang was even more drunk and acting crazy, sometimes yelling for water, sometimes cursing and asking for sleep.
Lin Yaqin suppressed her disgust, helped him drink the water, and helped him take off his shoes and socks.
Finally, Gao Zhiqiang grabbed Lin Yaqin by the collar and threatened her drunkenly, "Go earn money for me! If you dare to run..."
He raised his fist and shook it in front of her eyes, "I'm going to break your legs!"
After saying this, he fell headfirst onto the kang and soon began to snore loudly.
Lin Yaqin stood in front of the kang, looking at the sleeping mother and son, her palms clenched tightly!
Lin Yaqin's heart was beating like a drum before she went to the pink hair salon.
She held her breath, reached into Gao Zhiqiang's pocket with trembling hands.
As her fingertips touched the stack of banknotes, the drunk Gao Zhiqiang suddenly muttered and turned over, scaring her so much that she suddenly retracted her hand and cold sweat instantly seeped out of her back.
When the snoring started again, she gritted her teeth and emptied her pockets.
Holding the thick banknotes in my hand, I was unwilling to leave just like that!
She wanted to cut Gao Zhiqiang into pieces, but she didn't dare.
In a fit of rage, he stared at the mother and son sleeping like dead pigs, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
She gently untied Gao Zhiqiang's belt and took off the old woman's coat.
The more he stripped, the more relieved he felt. In the end, he stripped them both naked, leaving them without even a pair of underwear.
She rolled up all the clothes and stuffed them into the garbage bag!
After doing all this, she spat at the naked mother and son lying on the kang before leaving.
In the darkness of night, she threw the garbage bag into the trash heap and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.
