Chapter 65 Reality 6
Yili had just opened her phone, opened WeChat, and was about to add Xu Nuo as a friend.
A call came in with the note 'Qixi's mother who once helped me escape from being hunted down'.
When the call was connected, a woman's hoarse and weak voice came: "Hello, is this Yili?"
"Yes, it's me, Auntie."
Yi Li's voice softened a lot.
"I heard from Qixi that you had a conflict with that girl?"
"Um."
"Did she do something to offend you? If so, Auntie apologizes to you on her behalf. The girl just now cried and asked me to call you, wanting you to forgive her."
"...Auntie, I understand."
"Auntie knows Yili is a good kid. Qixi has lived with you for two years, so they must have developed feelings for each other. It's not easy to make it alone in this big city, ahem, it's always good to rely on each other. Auntie doesn't ask for you and Qixi to become rich and powerful, she only asks that you be safe and happy."
As she finished her words, the sound of a nurse pushing the door open could be faintly heard.
"Ms. Seven, bed number seven, you need an IV..."
Yili's memory went back to three years ago with the hoarse voice on the phone.
It was pouring rain. She was wearing a tattered jacket and had a high fever, but she was running madly forward in the freezing winter.
"That's her! Catch her for me! She dared to ruin our plan! She'll have to pay the price! Break her hands when you catch her!"
The cold wind was like a bone scraper, scraping her skin and bones, and a bloody and rusty taste came from her throat. She had been hungry for three days and was blocked in the deserted mountains. She finally found a chance to run to the town, but she was still discovered.
Now she simply didn't have the extra energy to deal with this group of trained, tall and strong men.
Just when Yili ran to a corner and could hardly run anymore and was about to fall on the concrete ground, he was pulled into a yard.
A frail old woman, who was about to go out, stood in front of her in a patched jacket, holding an umbrella and said, "Little girl, are you being harassed by those hooligans?"
Yi Li's face turned pale and he fainted without saying a word.
When she got up again, she lay on the soft big bed. The smell of sunshine surrounded her nose. Her damp and tattered clothes had been changed, and she felt comfortable and warm all over.
Although the decoration here is simple, you can still see the care that has been put into decorating this house.
There are clean bookshelves and desks with a few worn-out dolls, pink bunny bed sheets that have been washed so clean, and a few scattered certificates on the wall.
This is a girl's room.
As she was looking around the room, the door was pushed open.
The woman brought in a bowl of brown sugar fermented glutinous rice, ginger and eggs, which smelled of fermented glutinous rice. "Ah, you're finally awake. I made you eggs specially, just like my daughter loved to eat when she was sick. The barefoot doctor was right. Are you hungry, child?"
"Thank you." Yi Li felt as if his throat was stuffed with a bunch of razor blades, his nose was blocked, and his whole body was hot and tired.
"You have a fever, it's 41 degrees Celsius, I'm almost scared to death!" The old woman handed Yi Li, who had sat up, a bowl of warm brown sugar fermented glutinous rice, ginger and egg. "Eat it quickly, it's not hot."
Yili took it and took a few bites. It tasted strange, sweet, pungent and spicy, but it was the best thing she had ever tasted at that time.
Tears rolled down her eyes: "Thank you, Auntie."
"What are you thanking me for? My daughter is the same age as you. If one day she encounters the same thing as you, I also hope that someone will help her in the same way. My last name is Qi, you can call me Aunt Qi. I have a daughter named Qixi, who is currently studying at a university in another city."
At that time, she had nowhere to go and many people were looking for her.
It was nothing more than that she was tricked into an underground gambling game. In order to get out, she used the gambling tricks she learned to destroy the business of the underground casino owner. Although she was bailed out by someone who liked her, she also provoked the black casino forces and the big boss who wanted to protect her and make money for him.
Now two groups of people are looking for her.
Either your life is at risk, or your innocence is at risk.
After recovering from his illness, Yili wanted to leave here to avoid implicating the innocent Aunt Qi.
Aunt Qi saw her embarrassment and let her stay.
During that time, Yili stole the love that belonged to someone else.
For the first time, she felt what it was to be a mother.
later……
She also forgot what happened.
Aunt Qi suddenly fell ill.
She went back to the casino to earn money for medical treatment.
I work three jobs to make a living.
Fatigue, poverty and dirt follow me like a shadow.
But he was willing to accept it for the stolen love.
Even if her efforts were enough to repay what she had done back then.
She watched herself sink into it rationally, watched herself being dragged into the water rationally.
She is not someone who is willing to suffer losses.
"Aunt, I think... Qixi and I can't go back to the way we were before. She's just afraid of losing me and thus losing her comfortable life." Yili's voice was filled with a smile, but the words she said were like a needle dipped in poison.
"Yili, you..."
Yi Li interrupted her: "Auntie, you know me. Once unfaithful, I will never trust you again. Even if we reconcile, it can't hide what she did to me. Don't worry, Auntie, I will continue to pay for your medical expenses as a way of repaying you for saving me. I can't give you more."
"Auntie knows... Auntie... cough cough cough!" Auntie Qi's voice became weaker: "Yili, Qixi is the one who has wronged you. Auntie will not stop you from doing anything, but I only have this one daughter. I just want her to live well. Auntie is begging you, okay?" Auntie Qi was lying on the hospital bed with gray hair, looking at the white ceiling. The mobile phone in her hand was cold and heavy.
She knew that the little girl she rescued was of great importance.
I also know that she is not the good person that others say she is.
She also knew that she had done her best for them, mother and daughter.
However, after receiving a call for help from his daughter, begging him to apologize to Yili and ask Yili to help her, he learned through his questioning that his daughter had caused trouble outside and even almost killed an innocent life. Now the retribution has come.
She didn't know what her daughter had gotten herself into, and she was even more heartbroken that the child she had raised was repaying kindness with enmity. If it weren't for Yili's good fortune and long life, Yili's life would have ended like that.
She hated herself for having such a vicious daughter, but she also couldn't bear to see her only child disappear like that.
Yi Li was silent. She didn't know how to answer this old woman who was nearing the end of her life. She didn't answer, but just stood there quietly.
"I understand. I won't hate you. I hope you will be happy and safe in the future, Yili."
Aunt Qi was very calm: "This is good. At least after I leave, I don't have to worry about whether she will cause trouble."
