One day, Yu Sangzhi received a message from a hoodlum classmate: "Brother Feng wants you to go to the small grove by the north gate after school!" "Brother Feng" was Huo Feng, who s...
After sending Lin Qianqian out of the house, Yu Sangzhi quickly locked the door again.
Of course, the windows in her house were completely closed, and there was no place where she could be exposed to the outside world.
Master Cheng just told the mother and daughter that there was a suspicious person at the end of the alley.
It doesn't mean that they are coming for their family, it doesn't mean that they are debt collectors, and it doesn't mean that this person is dangerous to them and their daughter.
But this little bit of disturbance was enough to make the mother and son alert.
Yu Sangzhi returned to the room where Chen Huifen worked, moved a stool and sat down, helping Chen Huifen pack some valuables.
Chen Huifen noticed her nervousness and knew what she was afraid of, so she comforted her, "Xiao Sang, it might not be a debt collector. Maybe we're just too nervous?"
Yu Sangzhi shook his head and replied, "Whether it's true or not, we need to observe for a while. If it is, what will you do at home alone when I go to school?"
Yu Sangzhi was worried about Chen Huifen who was alone at home.
Chen Huifen was also worried that if the debt collectors came to the house, Yu Sang would be at home to inform them.
The mother and daughter are each worried about the other, and because of this, they need to be vigilant.
"Mom, I just discovered that you can order food from the market directly through Meituan Takeout. So, let's not go out for a week. We'll order a week's worth of food on Meituan later. From now on, you must stay inside the house. At least, don't go out until I'm home, and don't open the door to anyone."
Yu Sangzhi instructed Chen Huifen, "If anything happens at home, you must call your homeroom teacher. He will definitely notify me immediately."
Chen Huifen nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "But you have to be careful when you go to school. Xiaofeng will come to pick you up, right? And, will he take you home after school? It's only a ten-minute walk, and I'm worried about you walking alone."
Normally, Huo Feng does this every week.
Send her home, pick her up from school...
But this week he didn't.
But this week, he didn't.
I don’t know if God was playing a joke on her or punishing her on purpose, but when she needed Huo Feng the most, Huo Feng gave up on her.
He didn't pick her up from school yesterday afternoon, and he didn't come to tutor her this afternoon.
If he doesn't look for her, Yu Sangzhi won't look for him either.
So, at this moment, Yu Sangzhi couldn't guarantee whether Huo Feng would come to pick her up on Sunday?
After Chen Huifen asked her for a long time but she didn't answer, she asked again: "Did you have a fight with Xiaofeng? He didn't come to see you this afternoon, and you came back alone yesterday. What happened?"
Yu Sangzhi dropped the valuables in his hand and replied, "How would I know what he's thinking? Maybe he doesn't want to study anymore. Maybe he's tired of studying..."
Chen Huifen couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Will he come to pick you up tomorrow?"
Yu Sangzhi replied: "I don't know. I don't care if he comes or not. I will be fine."
After hearing this, Chen Huifen said, "If he doesn't come tomorrow, then Mom will take you to school."
Yu Sangzhi replied: "No need. It would be too dangerous for you to come back alone."
Chen Huifen frowned and said sternly, "What are you talking about? It's dangerous for me to come back alone, but isn't it dangerous for you to go there alone? I'm your elder, I have to consider your safety."
"mom…"
Yu Sangzhi raised his head, staring stubbornly at Chen Huifen. "The debt collectors may recognize you, but they may not recognize me. If I wear a hat or a mask, they won't recognize me. Besides, it may not be them."
Chen Huifen: "No need to say more. If Xiaofeng doesn't come to pick you up tomorrow, Mom will definitely go with you. That's it, no objection allowed."
Yu Sangzhi: "Mom..."
Chen Huifen stared back at her with a determined look, her eyes holding no room for argument.
The mother and daughter have similar personalities and are both stubborn. Once they make up their minds, it is difficult for them to back down.
So, Yu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen argued about this topic for a long time...
Until bedtime, neither of them had reached a conclusion in the argument.
…
At ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Sangzhi went to bed on time.
But she had trouble sleeping tonight, and she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, brewing and thinking for a long time...
In the end, I probably didn’t fall asleep until after one o’clock.
But not long after falling asleep, Yu Sangzhi had a nightmare.
She dreamed that when she was in Shanghai, she was chased by gangsters for debts. She was left with nowhere to go and hid at home, not daring to go out. She was even afraid of seeing the door.
At that time, going to school was a luxury for her.
Yu Sangzhi had such good grades, but was forced to give up school and had to skip classes constantly...
She dreamed of the two days of the high school entrance examination. She was restless in the examination room and couldn't concentrate on the test.
While she was concentrating on her exams, her home was brutally smashed and vandalized by debt collectors. Chen Huifen was beaten until her head was bleeding and she was bullied to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy.
Those scenes were so real, so real that Yu Sangzhi kept talking in his sleep, saying, "No, don't hit..."
This nightmare switched several scenes in succession, not only in junior high school, but also in high school...
Yu Sangzhi dreamed again that when she was studying in Longxiang, debt collectors found her home there. They pried open the door, rushed into the house and beat and scolded Chen Huifen.
While she was away, those people bullied Chen Huifen and slammed her head against the wall. The scene was shocking.
In the dream, Yu Sangzhi rushed out of the classroom as soon as she received the news. She ran downstairs to Huo Feng's class and went to find Huo Feng...
In the dream, she trembled and grabbed Huo Feng's hand, crying and saying: "Huo Feng, help me... help my family..."
In the dream, Huo Feng shook off her hand, looked down at her, and said with a wicked smile: "You're asking the wrong person, right? Haven't you always ignored me?"
This dream, cruel yet realistic, made Yu Sangzhi burst into tears without realizing it...
