Day 2.

As soon as Qin Yu entered the office, the old cat came over and found him: "What are you busy with?" ”

"Lao Hei said two words to me before he died, asking me to approve his pension and send it to the two children he raised." Qin Yu drank the water and responded: "I just finished writing the report and am going to send it." ”

"Ahh

"You don't have three over there, don't you have to deal with it?" Qin Yu took the initiative to ask.

"I'm doing it, and I'm in contact with my sacrificial colleagues and families." The old cat bowed his head and replied, "I don't like this kind of occasion, so I didn't go." ”

"Ahh Qin Yu nodded.

"Hey, are you going to have something to do in a while?" The old cat asked suddenly.

Qin Yu was stunned: "It's still interrogating those two horses, it's nothing important." ”

"Then you come with me to Qi Lin's house." The old cat deliberately pretended to be in a state of being a hanger: "He was transferred to logistics, and there will be no field allowance in the future, and his salary will be reduced...... I'm afraid this kid won't want to hang himself. ”

After a period of contact, Qin Yu has found that this old cat is cheap, and sometimes he doesn't pay attention to other people's feelings when he speaks, but he is very aware of it. He probably knew he had talked about it at the breakfast shop yesterday, so he made it like this. But he couldn't wipe his face when he went to Qi Lin by himself, so he came over and pulled himself along.

"Let's get off work at noon, I'll have to go to Zhu Wei's place to see the interrogation later." Qin Yu glanced at the wall clock and answered.

"Okay, then I'll call you at noon."

"Okay."

……

As soon as the bell for work at noon passed, Qin Yu took the old cat's electric motorcycle and went to Qi Lin's house.

In fact, those who can serve as superintendents are considered to be good in this era, at least in the ninth district, they are definitely considered to be a middle-income group. Because no matter how dangerous it is, after all, it is also an iron job, and you get a fixed salary every month. But even so, Qi Lin's life was very hard. His home is located in a slum on the edge of Black Street, where the vast majority of people do not have stable jobs. It's okay for the younger, at least they can do some hard work and deal with a mouthful of food, but the old, weak, sick and disabled will suffer, and some of them are really incapable of working. And Songjiang** doesn't have enough resources to provide relief food for everyone, so there are really people starving to death here. The crime rate is also very high, and it is very common for people to move and change.

The reason why Qi Lin lives in this kind of place is because of economic problems. The house here is cheap, electric lights and water are provided at night, and the basic cost of living is very low, so he can deduct some more money to support his family. And this is why he can rub in the superintendent, even if he leaves work early, he will eat dinner before leaving, and even the clothes at home will be washed by the superintendent...... It's all about saving you a lot of money.

After Qin Yu walked into the small courtyard of Qi Lin's house, he turned his head to look at the surrounding scene, and saw that the courtyard was square, with an area of about three or four hundred square meters, but most of them belonged to other landlords, and they only rented two low and narrow bungalows at the door to Qi Lin for a long time. And the two bungalows are facing each other, with a wall in the middle and an iron gate...... People who don't understand this layout may be strange to see, but those who understand understand that this is a partition that the landlord is afraid that the tenant's hands and feet will not be clean, and he will lock the iron door when he sleeps at night. It's just that Qi Lin has lived here for a long time, and maybe the landlord knows what he does, so he relaxed his management and left the iron door open for a long time to show respect......

After the two entered the hospital, they looked up and saw Qi Lin sitting on the steps in a daze depressed.

"What are you doing?" The old cat rushed up and asked.

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment and stood up: "Why are you two here?" ”

"Let's see if you're dead." The best thing this old cat is that he can't say well.

"Come, come in." People like Qi Lin may be the best at forgetting contradictions and embarrassments, he didn't say a word about yesterday, his emotions adjusted quickly, and he beckoned the two of them into the house with a smile.

"Where's Mom?" The old cat asked.

"My mother is lying in the opposite room, and my sister is doing odd jobs with someone next to her, and she is not at home." Qi Lin smiled: "Come into the house and drink some water." ”

"Don't drink, let's go see my mother." The old cat brought some food, which was specially prepared for Qi Lin's mother.

Qi Lin was silent for a moment, shook his head and responded, "Don't go." ”

"What's wrong?" Qin Yu asked.

"We had a quarrel."

"!" When the old cat heard this, he scolded: "It's not good, take your mother out of anger?" How big are you, can you be a little promising?! ”

"Pull it down, she's angry with me." Qi Lin sighed and said, "Okay, you have to let me get her a daughter-in-law back." You said...... I'm going to transfer logistics soon, I earn more than 100 less a month, and it's difficult to live, where can I give her a whole daughter-in-law? ”

"Why did you suddenly let you marry a daughter-in-law?" The old cat asked curiously.

Qi Lin hesitated for a long time, beckoned the two of them into the house, and talked about what happened.

Qi Lin's mother suffers from liver disease, and she has been dragging on without a lot of money for treatment, so that the trouble has now become a syndrome, and the vital organs in the body have atrophied, and time is running out. The old lady has no culture, and her family is also full of disasters, she may not have any wishes before leaving, so she wants Qi Lin to get married, and she can see a descendant before she closes her eyes...... And the deeper reason why she did this, Qi Lin also knew in his heart that the old lady just didn't want him to spend more money on herself, so she quickly got a daughter-in-law and settled down.

Inside the house.

After listening to Qi Lin's words, Qin Yu didn't say a word, and he didn't know what advice to give the other party. The old cat pondered for a while and asked, "Even if you want to find a woman, you have to be prepared." She suddenly wants a daughter-in-law, where can we find it? It's too late for this life. ”

She got in touch, and the old Dong daughter-in-law next to her found an intermediary. My mom meant to let me pay to marry one. But you know my situation, this has just been punished, not to mention the reduction in income, and I don't dare to guarantee ...... in the future. Qi Lin had a sad face.

After listening to Qi Lin's words, the old cat pondered for a while and said, "It's okay to buy one." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Qi Lin waved his hand: "In case my punishment is very serious and the superintendent can't stay anymore, what will I do in the future?" ”

"Surely you can't do it by stripping your clothes," said the old cat, bowing his head, "I'll keep you working in the superintendent." ”

Qi Lin was stunned when he heard this.

"You tell me the truth, is the old lady really bad?" The old cat asked in a low voice.

Qi Lin was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "If you don't cure, just maintain, it means that it will deteriorate...... It's hard to say how long. ”

"Then the whole daughter-in-law." The old cat gritted his teeth and said: "You should also marry, you can't run home without doing anything every day, there is someone to take care of, you can also work hard." ”

"But I ...... in my hand."

"You'll wait." The old cat threw down a sentence, turned around and shouted at Qin Yu: "You come out with me." ”

"Old cat, no." Qi Lin immediately stood up.

The old cat pointed at Qi Lin and said, "Let you wait, you will wait." ”

Two minutes later, outside the door.

The old cat smoked an e-cigarette, bowed his head and said to Qin Yu: "Is there any money?" ”

Qin Yu blinked his eyes: "I can borrow him up to five hundred." ”

"It's not enough." The old cat shook his head.

Qin Yu responded without hesitation: "I have such great ability." ”

The old cat raised his head and said word by word: "If this money Qilin can't pay you for the time being, I will pay you back before Christmas." ”

Qin Yu looked at the old cat with some surprise, and after carefully considering it for a few seconds, he responded: "I have a total of one thousand and five left, take you one thousand three, and I will keep two hundred for dinner." ”

"Thanks, brother." The old cat patted Qin Yu's arm.

"Hey, I want to ask," Qin Yu blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "If Qi Lin doesn't pay me back, what will you pay back?" ”

"I'll go to Dirt Street to sell silver, and I'll pay you back."

“…… You are paralyzed," Qin Yu collapsed: "I don't want to borrow it." ”

"So it was decided." The old cat rushed into the house with a smile, opened his mouth and shouted: "Qi Lin, find someone to contact, we will get you three thousand and a half, and you can figure out the rest by yourself." ”

Qi Lin stood in the tattered room, stared at the two of them for a long time, and bowed deeply: "I...... I...... I'm sure I'll pay it back. ”

……

Yes, Qi Lin didn't want to go against his mother's wishes, because he knew that this might be the old lady's last wish.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Lin wrapped a huge amount of money around his waist, and left Songjiang City in a car with Qin Yu and the old cat, and rushed to Beitai Life Village.

The vehicle crossed Songjiang, which had been frozen for several years, and stopped on an unnamed dirt road with its tires crushed by the snow. Qin Yu and the three of them walked three kilometers to the entrance of Beitai Village and made a phone call.

After waiting for about half an hour, an old lady in her fifties wrapped in a military coat greeted her with a red face and asked, "Buying someone?" ”

"That's so red," the old cat replied unhappily, "looking for a daughter-in-law." ”

"Come with me." The old ladies threw down a sentence, turned around and left.

The three of them followed her around the dilapidated bungalow area and into a leaky house.

The old ladies pulled open the iron door, pointed to the dozen or so people of all colors sitting in the room, and said: "There are all black and white, as long as the money is in place, everything can be talked about......." ”

Qin Yu stayed at the door and covered his nose: "Qi Lin, you can go into the house and pick it." ”

"Do they all have residency?" The old cat pretended to know a lot and asked.

"Brother, I introduced you to you if you have the right of abode?" The old lady rolled her eyes: "Isn't it fragrant to take the job directly on the slag street?" ”

“…… Sister, you're quite knowledgeable. ”

"Damn," the old ladies pouted, "who hasn't had a story these days." ”

The old cat was scolded without a word.

The old lady patted Qi Lin on the shoulder: "Brother, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, buy and sell, customers come first." You go in and pick it up, there's a flashlight here, the kind of black that can't be seen clearly, you light it up ....... ”

Qi Lin was indeed a little embarrassed, standing at the door with a little restraint.

"Bang!"

The old cat kicked Qi Lin into the house: "Hurry up, it's going to be dark." ”

Qi Lin blinked his eyes and walked into the room.

……

On the other end, a figure sneakily glanced around, then walked behind the window of Qi Lin's house, and shouted softly: "Qi Lin, Qi Lin, are you at home?" ”

There was a rush of footsteps behind him, and the figure was startled, lowered his head and pulled out the big troll in his clothes, and glanced back to find that there was just someone passing by.

With fine beads of sweat on his forehead, the figure glanced into Qi Lin's house again, and only after seeing that there was no one did he leave with a frown.
