Chapter 19: No Money
Facing Aunt Shang's probing eyes, Ning Lengzhi gritted his teeth and took out all the cash ruthlessly, "Auntie, you have also seen it, I have so much money now, I will give this to you first, and the rest ...... Shall I give it to you in a few days? ”
The woman looked at the pitiful red banknotes in her hand, snorted, and then reluctantly dragged the money over, "Okay, you have to make up the rest in a few days, otherwise, I'll let you get out!" ”
After yelling loudly at Ning Lengzhi, the landlady pulled her slippers and twisted her fat body away.
Ning Lengzhi lowered his head, closed the empty wallet and put it back in his handbag, and opened the door tiredly and returned to the dilapidated rental house.
Looks like she'll have to find another part-time job......
She sighed heavily, returned to her room, turned on her computer and began searching the Internet for part-time job opportunities.
Before his butt was hot, the phone rang again, and Ning Lengzhi had no choice but to return to the living room and take out the phone from his bag.
The name of the contact jumping on the screen made her frown subconsciously, and her fingertips hesitated for a moment, and finally clicked the answer button.
"Dad."
Her tone was so calm that there was no fluctuation, and there was no sense of happiness in receiving a call from a loved one.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
In response to her, there was a violent cough from the opposite side, and Ning Lengzhi was patient, waiting for the other side to speak.
"Ahem...... Cold, ahem...... Why haven't you paid back to your family this month? ”
Hearing the man mention the cost of living, Ning Lengzhi's brows furrowed into a deep river.
She remembered that she had only sent a lot of money back not long ago, and now that he came to remind her about the living expenses, Ning Lengzhi only felt a headache, not to mention the living expenses of the family, and she couldn't even take out her own living expenses.
His eyes flickered twice, and Ning Lengzhi replied lightly: "Dad, can you wait a few days for living expenses?" I really don't have any money on hand right now. ”
On the other end of the phone, Ning Zhicheng heard Ning Lengzhi say that he had no money, and his face instantly fell.
However, he knew that Ning Lengzhi's ears were soft, so he softened his tone, "Lengzhi, Dad knows that it is not easy for you to be outside, but our family is relying on you to eat now, my factory is now in need of capital turnover, and your brother has no job, so our family is really about to open the pot......"
As he expected, Ning Lengzhi listened to Ning Zhicheng's words, and his heart suddenly became uncomfortable, as a child, she is now grown up, and she should support her loved ones......
However, she really has no money, and even if she has the heart, she really can't come up with the money.
Thinking that the money I sent to Ning Zhicheng last time should not be spent so quickly, Ning Lengzhi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you still have the money I sent back last time?" Can you take that money first? ”
Ning Zhicheng listened, and saw that Ning Lengzhi hadn't mentioned sending money back, so he couldn't help it, and his attitude hardened for a while, "The money from last time?" The money last time was the money for my treatment, you are my daughter, don't you know that I am not in good health and have to spend money to see a doctor! ”
“……”
His words pierced Ning Lengzhi's heart fiercely, every time as long as she couldn't come up with the money, Ning Zhicheng would lose her temper at her, for so many years, she was used to it, but this time, no matter what, she couldn't help it.
"Dad, I know it's not easy for you, and I understand that you're not in good health, but ......" Speaking of this, Ning Lengzhi choked up before slowly continuing: "I really don't have any money, can you borrow some with Uncle Zhang and Uncle Liu first?" ”
"Let me borrow money from someone?"
Ning Zhicheng's tone suddenly rose, "You asked me to borrow money from someone?" So where do I put my face? You are a person who works in a large company and is not willing to pay even a few thousand yuan for living expenses to your parents, do you have a conscience? ”
"Dad! I'm not willing to give you money, I really don't have any money! ”
Ning Lengzhi listened to Ning Zhicheng's accusation, like a sharp dagger peeling off her heart, and tears instantly flooded her eyes.
In fact, she can be regarded as a person who can endure hardships, even when she resolutely decided to come to this city by herself, no matter how lonely the days are, she has not shed a single tear.
But why can't her closest family members understand her and support her?
"Hmph, no money, no money, who knows if what you said is true or false, you work in such a big company, will you have no money? You just have hard wings, and you think that we old people are dispensable and don't want to raise them! I'm so disappointed with me! ”
Ning Zhicheng saw that Ning Lengzhi was reluctant to take out the money, so he simply hung up the phone after speaking, and sat on the sofa and snorted angrily.
As soon as Ning Lengzhi wanted to explain something, the phone was hung up, listening to the busy sound from the mobile phone, he lowered his hand a little frustratedly.
The pressures of life were pressing on her, forcing her to the point of almost dying.
But she had no choice but to face it, because this path was chosen by her.
Raising his white fingers and pressing the corners of his eyes, wiping away the wetness, Ning Lengzhi took a few deep breaths and moved his feet back to the room, continuing to browse the Internet for part-time job information.
Next.
After Ning Lengzhi casually solved the breakfast problem, he came to a restaurant in the center of the city.
After a short period of training, she quickly got back to work.
said that it was work, but in fact, it was just a simple matter of helping to serve food and clean up the table, Ning Lengzhi had done similar work before, so he got started quickly.
Of course, Ning Lengzhi has no plans to do it for a long time, he just wants to pay the rent first, and then send some home to Ning Zhicheng.
At this time, as soon as Ning Lengzhi brought a dish to the designated table, he heard a familiar female voice behind him.
"Waiter, order."
Ning Leng subconsciously frowned, turned around, and saw two familiar faces sitting at the dining table.
"Ning Lengzhi?"
"Cold?"
The two people at the table spoke at the same time.
Kang Qiulin heard that Jiang Taihe actually called Ning Lengzhi's name out loud, and immediately glared at him, and Jiang Taihe was a little embarrassed by her staring and lowered his head.
Kang Qiulin retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and turned to look at Ning Lengzhi, she raised her eyes and looked her up and down, and a sneer appeared on her face with exquisite makeup, and her eyes were full of disdain, "I really didn't expect that your entire sales department was suspended for a month, and you would go to work in such a place." ”
Ning Lengzhi's gaze swept over Kang Qiulin's face, and then fell on Jiang Taihe.
