Chapter 76 [75] (Edited) You almost killed Tang Yuanyuan...
A year passed quickly, and it was now the eve of the college entrance examination.
"sister."
Qian Tingting looked back and saw that Qian Fei had not changed much in three years. He had hardly grown taller and looked to be only 172cm tall at most. He was only 17 years old, but he had a miserable look on his face. His face was covered with pimples, his fingers were rough, his eyes were dull, and the thin shirt he was wearing was from a few years ago. It had been washed so hard that it looked dirty and tired.
On the other hand, Qian Tingting was wearing a printed cotton skirt of excellent quality with a good cut, and plastic sandals on her feet. Her face, which had been thick from years of farm work and bitten by the night wind, had grown to be white and tender. She was carrying a beautiful schoolbag on her back, as if she was the child of a city worker.
Qian Tingting said expressionlessly, "I'm no longer your sister. Don't call me that."
In these three years, the Qian family members were not completely absent. Qian Tingting's mother later found Qian Tingting several times to complain, but Qian Tingting ignored her completely. She didn't want a penny and even asked for extra transportation fare. Later, she never came again.
Qian Fei, on the other hand, is here for the first time.
Qian Tingting's mother did say that he had dropped out of school three years ago and was forced by Mrs. Qian to go south to work and earn money. He was too young to find a formal job, so he could only move bricks on the construction site. Not only was he exposed to the wind and sun, but more importantly, the heavy physical work was torturous.
Now that he is a little older, his grandmother asked someone to find him a job slaughtering pigs in a meat processing factory. He can work and take care of the family at the same time, and most of his monthly salary is used to buy medicine for his father.
She used to be disappointed and hate Qian Fei. Now seeing him like this, she didn't feel happy, but it was impossible for her to forgive him.
Just like strangers.
Qian Fei took out a box of cheap cigarettes from his worn pocket: "Sister, I'm not here to ask you to go home."
He laughed bitterly: "I used to think you should sacrifice for the family. Now that I support this family, I know how tiring it is. I just remembered that I was going to take the college entrance examination, so I came to see you."
"Take this, it's a little token of my appreciation."
"Study hard for the exam and make sure you get into a good university. Don't end up like me. My life is over."
In the transparent plastic bag, there are about two kilograms of egg cake. Prices have skyrocketed in the past three years, and this two kilograms of egg cake will cost about six yuan.
Qian Tingting relied on Tang Yuanyuan and lived a much more affluent life than Qian Fei. She was not interested in the egg cake: "You can eat it yourself. I don't want it."
Qian Fei stuffed the egg cake into Qian Tingting's hand and said, "If you don't want it, just throw it away."
After saying this, the man left.
Perhaps Qian Tingting was stimulated by the words "Don't be like me", or perhaps she was reluctant to waste food, so she still carried the egg cake to Tang Yuanyuan's store.
The college entrance examination is the day after tomorrow, so everyone has left school for the holiday today.
Tang Yuanyuan rode her bicycle and carried all her books and bedding back to her. She was now carrying nothing and felt very relaxed.
It just so happened that there were customers in the store, and Qian Tingting, in line with the principle of not wasting food, put the egg cake on the table for everyone to eat together.
Tang Yuanyuan was putting books into the cabinet at home when suddenly the phone on the coffee table rang.
"Mr. Shen?" She was a little surprised: "Is there a case for your company?"
On the other end of the phone, the man chuckled softly: "Even if there's another case, I can't contact you now. Is it the college entrance examination?"
"Well, the day after tomorrow, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get into Fudan University."
"Besides your usual grades, your physical health also affects your performance. Remember, don't eat anything outside these few days, and don't eat greasy food suddenly. Just eat a normal clean diet."
"I see."
"That's all. Relax and play your best."
"Yeah, I see."
After Shen Yu hung up the phone, Tang Yuanyuan put the last few books back into the cabinet.
Food is easy to spoil in summer. Tang Yuanyuan thinks what Mr. Shen said is quite right. She should indeed pay attention to it. She decides to ask Grandma Zhou Wei to come and cook for four days, and ask Li Mu to eat and rest here as well. Maybe he can perform beyond his normal level?
Qian Tingting handed Tang Yuanyuan an egg cake: "Yuanyuan, eat the egg cake."
Tang Yuanyuan took it easily. Inside the store, several important customers were chatting: "...Yuanyuan, let me tell you, something's happened to the Yu family. The cotton mill is in chaos right now. Yu Guofu was arrested two days ago, and his wife will probably be too."
Tang Yuanyuan put down the egg cake that was about to reach her mouth and sighed softly. No wonder Yu Fangfang hadn't come for two days.
According to her personality, she probably didn't want others to see her in such a miserable state. In the dream, she disappeared for five or six years, and only appeared in front of everyone after she became successful.
Will she still take the college entrance examination?
She seemed to have passed the art exam before. If she could take the college entrance examination and enter an art college, her future would be better.
Tang Yuanyuan thought for a moment, cleaned the oil off her fingers, and went outside to use a public phone to call the Yu family's landline. The nanny said, "Miss Fangfang has already left Yucheng. I'm not sure where she went."
Tang Yuanyuan pinched her eyebrows. The young lady was really proud!
Not even taking the college entrance examination!
"Where's Deputy Director Hu? Is she home?"
"Yes, yes, but she's not feeling well. She's resting. Do you have anything to do with her?"
"It's fine at home," Tang Yuanyuan said, switching the phone. "I have something to give her. I'll be here soon. Auntie, can you please open the door for me?"
"become."
Tang Yuanyuan brought a set of skin care products and a set of makeup to Yu's house.
The factory director's wife looked listless, with a slight ripple in her numb and empty eyes.
"You're thoughtful, but I don't have the heart to dress up right now."
Her life was so glorious in the past, but now everyone sees that she is down and out and laughs at her. What's more, she doesn't even know if she will lose her freedom.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Deputy Director Hu, the year I first met you, I was selling things on the street. To be honest, if it weren't for you and Fangfang, I might still be selling things on the street. In this respect, you are all my benefactors. I will always remember this."
"Let me put your makeup on again."
"Okay."
I haven't washed my face for several days, and it feels a bit stinging when I put a towel soaked in hot water on my face.
Tang Yuanyuan applied a lot of toner to her, then lotion and cream, then foundation, eyebrows, eyelashes, blush, and finally lipstick. The person in the mirror looked bright and energetic, as if she had a completely different face.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Auntie, I'll just call you Auntie."
"become."
"Auntie, although Fangfang isn't studious, she's quite clever. I think she'll eventually make a career of her own, and the Yu family will be able to turn things around," Tang Yuanyuan carefully combed the factory director's wife's hair. "You should still live a good life. No matter where you are, wait for Fangfang."
"She has no brothers or sisters, just you and uncle. You have to keep this family together for her."
The factory director's wife couldn't move her lips for a long time before she could utter a single word: "Alas!"
"You're right. I must protect this home. It doesn't matter if I make mistakes. As long as I don't get shot, I will leave Fangfang with a home and my husband with something to remember."
Her husband has taken on all the responsibilities, and she can't just do nothing.
Tang Yuanyuan had another meal with the factory director's wife before riding back to the store.
"Zhou Wei, has your mother-in-law been busy these days?"
Zhou Wei shook her head: "Nothing special, what happened?"
Tang Yuanyuan said, "Isn't the college entrance examination coming up these days? I'm thinking that the food outside isn't clean, so I'd like to hire someone to cook for me, Li Mu, and Qian Tingting. I'll pay her a salary of ten yuan a day, and I'll pay for the food myself. Go back in the evening and ask her if she's willing to come."
Zhou Wei: "I can agree to this. No need to pay her any extra salary. My mother-in-law cooks delicious food."
Tang Yuanyuan: "You still have to give the money. Otherwise, it's not appropriate for you to take on so much responsibility for your mother-in-law and create a rift with her over ten dollars. Come over at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
Zhou Wei: "That's fine."
"Ouch, no, I need to go to the bathroom."
There was a public toilet not far away in this area, so Zhou Wei ran out in a hurry to use the toilet.
Tang Yuanyuan asked Zhou Li: "What's wrong with her? Is she feeling unwell?"
Zhou Li: "It's like this for pregnant women. It's easy to go to the toilet. I was like this too."
After saying that, she also covered her stomach and said, "No, I have to go to the bathroom too."
Tang Yuanyuan watched them leave and pinched her brows: "Could Zhou Li be pregnant too? I can't have two generals giving birth to a child at the same time, right?"
Qian Tingting shook her head: "I don't know."
"Why do you need someone to cook? I can do it."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Just take your test. Take a good rest at noon and try to perform exceptionally well."
Qian Tingting: "Oh, I'm going back to cook. What do you want for dinner?"
Tang Yuanyuan shook her head: "I've eaten it, just make your own."
Qian Tingting picked up an egg cake and stuffed it into her mouth. It was hot now, and she was afraid of getting too drunk: "Then I'll eat this."
Tang Yuanyuan: "The college entrance exam is coming up soon. Eat less food from outside and go eat some serious wontons. This can't be eaten as a meal."
Qian Tingting nodded and ate the egg cake: "I know, I'll go after they come back."
Tang Yuanyuan remembered that she wanted to talk to Li Mu about dinner, and just as she was about to go over, Li Mu came by himself.
Tang Yuanyuan said, "You can stay here tonight. I'll ask Grandma Zhou Wei to cook. You don't have to run around these few days. Eat here too. We can all eat more and no one will get upset."
Li Mu saw the egg cake on the coffee table and picked up one: "I didn't expect you to be so considerate and womanly."
Kindly reminding him that he was still teasing himself, Tang Yuanyuan angrily pinched the egg cake from his hand and said, "This is also something from outside, don't eat it."
Li Mu looked at his empty fingertips and said, "Oh, you are such a stingy person, can you be any more stingy? You won't even give me an egg cake to eat."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I won't give it to you. You'll starve."
Li Mu snatched the egg cake away and took out one: "Oh, if you don't give it to me, I'll do it myself."
As he said this, he stuffed the egg cake into his mouth and took a bite of half of it.
At this moment, Zhou Li's loud cry came from a distance: "Oh no, Yuanyuan, Zhou Wei is bleeding!"
"What should I do?"
Tang Yuanyuan pulled Qian Tingting and said, "Come on, let's carry Zhou Wei to the hospital together."
Qian Tingting, however, sat on the sofa, clutching her stomach and unable to get up: "No, my stomach hurts so much, I need to go to the bathroom."
Tang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat and she tilted her head. Li Mu was biting half of the egg cake and reached out to knock it away: "Spit it out quickly, you can't eat it!"
Li Mu swallowed a mouthful and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Yuanyuan pinched his throat: "Spit it out, spit it out, this thing is bad, Zhou Wei and Zhou Li both have diarrhea!"
Li Mu was so scared that he ran out of the store, stuck his fingers in his throat and tried to spit. Tang Yuanyuan quickly poured him a glass of water and stuffed it into his hand: "Spit it out, the more the better."
After saying this, he ran to the public toilet. As he passed the men's clothing store next door, he did not forget to ask Aunt Huang: "Aunt Huang, please watch the store for me."
"Oh!" Aunt Huang ran out and said, "I know."
Fortunately, there were rickshaws everywhere at that time, and there was a very good old Chinese doctor who could see her across the traffic light. Tang Yuanyuan helped Zhou Wei onto the rickshaw and reminded Li Mu: "Bring that egg cake to the hospital!"
Tang Yuanyuan decisively took Zhou Wei to see a Chinese doctor first. "Maybe the egg cake is not fresh and they bought stale ones. Anyway, all three people in the store have diarrhea."
The old Chinese doctor took a look at it himself and found a very fine gray powder on it. Because the egg cake is very oily and the surface is also gray, he didn't notice it: "It seems to be oxytetracycline."
Tang Yuanyuan's heart started beating fast. "She's pregnant, will something happen to her?"
The old Chinese doctor asked, "How many egg cakes did you eat?"
Zhou Wei: "I have been having severe morning sickness. I throw up everything I eat. I only ate two bites and I threw up again."
The old Chinese doctor said, "It can be considered lucky. It's now five months and the fetus is stable."
Zhou Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Yuanyuan asked Zhou Wei again, "Where did you buy this egg cake? I'll go find it! Is it from that pastry shop to the east?"
Zhou Wei shook her head. She didn't know either. "Qian Tingting brought it. I don't know."
Is this store crazy? How can they sell food and then sprinkle laxatives on it?
Tang Yuanyuan guessed that Zhou Li and Qian Tingting were still having diarrhea, so she asked the doctor to prescribe some anti-diarrhea medicine and send them back to the store first.
I thought of three or four customers in the store in the afternoon, so I called them and found out that they all had diarrhea and were in the hospital.
Tang Yuanyuan decisively chose to call the police.
Qian Tingting ate the most, three by herself. The anti-diarrhea medicine was not very effective, so Tang Yuanyuan helped her to the clinic, where she felt better after acupuncture by an old Chinese doctor. At this time, the police also arrived.
"Where did you buy this egg cake?"
Qian Tingting's face turned pale: "I don't know, I didn't buy it, my brother gave it to me."
Li Mu was so angry that he picked up a chair and was about to chop her to death: "Are you sick?"
"Don't you know that none of your family members are good? Take the things they give you to the store!"
"Are you going to make Tang Yuanyuan have diarrhea so that she can't take the college entrance exam so you can feel at ease?"
"If you want to be in love with them, go by yourself. Tang Yuanyuan was almost killed by you!"
Fortunately, two policemen were there, one holding a chair and the other holding Li Mu, and they stopped them: "Classmate, classmate, calm down, stabbing people is illegal!"
Qian Tingting covered her face and cried loudly: "I didn't know, I didn't know he would drug me, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Tang Yuanyuan pulled Li Mu and said, "You have to take the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow. Don't sacrifice yourself."
Li Mu's eyes turned red with anger: "I said, this kind of idiot can't be cured, she almost killed you."
"Don't let me fucking see her again!"
This would make anyone angry. Tang Yuanyuan couldn't speak to Qian Tingting anymore. The police would take care of the arrests. She had to go see the client first. "I'm going to buy some supplements. I'll go see the client first. Zhou Wei is here, please take a look."
Li Mu said unhappily, "Go ahead."
Tang Yuanyuan went to the hospital to pick out the best supplements, put on a smile, and paid the money.
Fortunately, these three customers were busy gossiping and didn't eat much. In addition, their resistance was good at their age and their symptoms were mild. Tang Yuanyuan also had a good attitude and didn't blame them too much.
As for Qian Tingting's younger brother Qian Fei, the police easily found him in the meat processing plant, and he confessed that he had put tetracycline in the egg cakes.
Everyone just had a stomachache, no big deal, the police could only detain him for a few days, and forget about financial compensation, as he was so poor he didn't even have a decent pair of shoes.
Tang Yuanyuan chose to meet him: "Why did you take oxytetracycline? You've already hurt your sister once, why do you want to ruin her college entrance examination?"
Qian Fei sneered viciously: "Why? She deserves it!"
"You deserve it."
"If you hadn't saved her, she would have been the one going to work. I wouldn't have to drop out of school and support my dad. I should be in school now and be able to take the college entrance exam next year. I could get into university and work in an office instead of working in a meat processing plant, slaughtering pigs one by one!"
"Do you know what it feels like to watch a pig howl in front of you every day, close its eyes, bleed on the ground, stain your shoes and clothes, and breathe blood in your mouth?"
"I'm always suffering for her!"
"She is the one who should bear all this."
"Why is it that even though we're both born of the same mother, she can go to college and become a successful person, while I have to kill pigs for the rest of my life? If I rot, she won't have an easy life either. I want her to rot in the mud like me."
Qian Fei's face was distorted, and his eyes were perverted, like a madman.
The family burden that was placed on him too early was too heavy, and he had become completely twisted and crazy.
Tang Yuanyuan could sense that he truly hated slaughtering pigs and that it was dangerous to continue like this: "If you don't like slaughtering pigs, then find another job. If you continue working like this, you'll go insane."
Qian Fei was painfully pulling at his hair. Probably to save money, his hair was very messy, looking like he had cut it himself. He reeked of pork and blood, and from head to toe, there was nothing respectable about him. "You have money, so of course you don't have to kill pigs. This is a job my grandma spent 50 yuan to find me. If I don't do it, I'll lose the money and I'll be scolded to death. How could I be so ignorant?"
Tang Yuanyuan keenly perceived the message in this sentence. Mrs. Qian not only wanted him to pay money, but was also controlling his mind. He probably didn't dare to say that he disliked this job, otherwise he would be verbally abused.
Just like Qian Tingting, the daughter of Qian Pozi Kongzi before, every word she said to him asked him to think about his family, be filial and sensible.
Looking at him from head to toe, how much of his salary can he spend on himself? If a person only works hard, without spiritual comfort and material enjoyment, is he still living a human life?
Mrs. Qian is too mean. She is mean to herself and to others. In fact, she is a twisted person herself. She is distorted and mistreats herself in her excessive frugality without knowing it. This is terrible. It is obvious that Qian Fei is already a potentially dangerous person and has been twisted by Mrs. Qian.
"If you feel your family is a burden to you, then just be like your sister and leave."
Tang Yuanyuan felt that this person would sooner or later do something even more harmful to society.
Qian Fei had probably been under mental control for too long: "How could I do something worse than an animal?"
When he thought about leaving home, all he could think about was his grandmother's harsh words, spitting out all kinds of dirty words to curse Qian Tingting. It was like a curse, just circling in his mind.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Why not? Don't you envy your sister's life?"
"The one who makes you suffer is your grandma and dad, not your sister. You want to live the same life as your sister."
Qian Fei pulled Zi's hair even tighter. "If a person doesn't want his parents, he's an animal. How could I do something worse than an animal?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Who is living a more ordinary life, you or your sister? Once you leave home, you will never hear that kind of voice again."
Qian Fei's eyes wandered, and he fell into a kind of spiritual yearning: "Never hear that voice again?"
"Right!" Tang Yuanyuan said, "Leave quietly. Don't tell anyone you know your address. It's a big place out there. As long as you don't tell them, your family will never be able to find you, and you won't hear that sound again. There's a kind of university for young people called night college. Find a job that doesn't have late shifts and study while you work, or learn a skill. In short, you can spend the rest of your life not butchering pigs or moving bricks. You're only 17, there's still time for everything."
Qian Fei: "But I don't have the money for the trip. I never have more than ten yuan on me. I only have ten yuan a month for food."
Tang Yuanyuan was speechless. Mrs. Qian really didn't treat people as human beings. The monthly salary of a worker in the meat processing factory should be more than 200 yuan, but this person who received the salary couldn't even spend a fraction of it.
The members of the Qian family are like this. As long as they can get rid of the burden of life, no matter who takes on the burden, they will choose control instead of feeling sorry for him, and they will not consider his long-term future.
Unless the knife is stabbed into their bodies, they choose not to see the pain of this family.
Tang Yuanyuan: "I'll give you a thousand yuan, and you can leave here and live your own life."
Qian Fei was stunned by this sudden pie in the sky. One thousand yuan, he had never seen so much money before. He stared at Tang Yuanyuan with red eyes and breathed heavily.
He even forgot to speak.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Do you know what to do with the money?"
Qian Fei took a while to react: "Leave, leave here."
Tang Yuanyuan doesn't like Qian Fei. This person is selfish and bad by nature. She will not trust such a person.
But if this continues, he will only become more and more crazy and twisted.
The Qian family is a quagmire, and whoever can get out of it is a winner.
By spending a thousand dollars, you can buy yourself safety and money to live a different second half of your life. This money is well worth it.
I hope that his selfishness today is forced out by the Qian family, and there is still a little humanity in his nature.
Qian Tingting regretted it so much that her intestines turned green and her eyes were swollen from crying: "I'm sorry, Tang Yuanyuan, it's all because of my stupidity. I hurt everyone, and I almost hurt you and Li Mu. Li Mu is right, I am a disaster. Don't worry about me anymore. I'm leaving now."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I wrote it too late last night and didn’t think more deeply about it. I thought seriously about Qian Fei when I woke up this morning, and made some changes here.
