Chapter 54 (Part 1)

After retracting the old machine, Qi Ji heard that Xia Jing carefully asked about the borrowing money on the phone.

He settled and asked, "How much is you worse?"

"The others are all together, and the cost of burial is about three thousand." Xia Jing whispered, "I could save the money, but I couldn't move it ..."

Bai Shi should have the help of relatives and friends, but the older generation of the Qi family walked early, and Qi sent the parents died three years ago. This time, the aunt Qi Ji really left Xia Jing alone.

But in fact, the situation should not be so desolate. After all, the local area is small, and it is really necessary to talk about it. Even if the Qi family has no one, the uncle Qi is a foreigner, and it will not fall to the point where no one is completely helped.

In the final analysis, this is also unable to get rid of the life with the aunt Qi Ji.

Therefore, Qi Ji was not surprised that Xia Jing had no help to help him. After all, my aunt was able to say "your grandma's things are all in our family, you can't grab" to Qi Ji, who are three years old.

At that time, Grandma had just died, Qi Ji was sent to his aunt's house to foster care. On the first day of entering the door, he was taught and was educated.

To say this, it may make people feel that the brothers and sisters are fighting fiercely, but in fact, Qi sent his father's father at all. Not only did he give all his ancestors of his hometown to his sister, he would also regularly pay for the support for his sister, in order to be foster Qi Ji.

This is how Qi Ji knew his name.

Every time my aunt received the money, she would carefully draw the remittance list. The envelope was thrown aside at will. Once the envelope was picked up by Xiao Qi, he was curious about everything, and he was about to look closely, but the envelope was taken away by his uncle with his face.

After repeatedly confirmed that there was no remittance list in the envelope, the uncle threw the envelope back.

At that time, Xiao Qiji had not yet formed a malicious sensitivity. After getting back to the envelope, he asked his uncle naively, what the words written above.

His uncle waved his hand and let him not bother himself. Qi Ji did not get the answer, so he went to ask his aunt again.

My aunt said, "This is sending, sending money. Are you not called Qi to send, or it means to send money."

She didn't forget to tell: "I will call your dad to send him more money next time. Did you hear it?"

Xiao Qi sent it so ignorantly. Qi sent, sent to send money.

Later, another time, the cousin of the aunt's house came back from school and showed off on the table. I learned a idiom today called "Person Health". He laughed at his chopsticks: "Isn't this Qi sent by Qi! You see, how coincidence, even the same thing!"

Xia Dong has not loved to study since he was a child. He has been in the countdown since his first grade, which is in sharp contrast with her sister Xia Jing. He rarely took the initiative to learn about things related to learning. His aunt and uncle immediately attached to the show: "Yes, my son is really smart, and he will use idioms."

Xia Dong was proud of it, and said to Qi Ji: "Isn't the fence meaning of wood? You have to be in line with this idiom, so, don't go to bed, go to the tree in the yard Next! "

The aunt listened, not only did not reprimand, but also praised Xia Dong to know a lot. Xia Dong was boasted even more. That night, he really pushed Qi to send it under the tree and not allow him to go to the house to sleep.

At that time, there were not many rural lights. After entering the night, there were black crickets around, as if there may be dangerous monsters rushing out at any time. Qi sent a person to stay in the yard for a long time. The small body shivered under low temperature and fear, but still failed to wait until the closed door opened.

The dissatisfaction of Xia Dong's suspected pocket money was too much, his aunt coaxed his voice and his uncle's thunderous sound. No one noticed Qi Ji who was standing in the yard. The only thing that quietly looked at him through the window screen was Xia Jing, but she didn't dare to take the order of Xia Dong. After a while, her aunt called her to wash her feet with her feet, and she quickly closed the window back.

Qi Ji failed to enter the house at the end.

He rolled over the wall and ran back to his house.

In the next few days, Xia Dong has been taking the word Qi Ji under the fence, and gave him 800 kinds of nicknames. However, Qi sent him to ignore him, and he quickly felt that he didn't mean anything, and turned his head to continue to mix with his fox friends and dogs.

However, this idiom has become a proof of Xia Dong's smart and easy learning. From time to time, he will be mentioned by his aunt and wants to retract the enthusiasm of Xia Dong learning again. The advice was always carried out at the dinner table, so Qi sent over and over again, and was forced to revisit the word "under the fence".

This is more than ten years ago.

Qi Ji originally thought that he had forgotten to clean up, but did not expect that his memory would be turned out, and he would be so clear.

Even the mottled shadows cast by the leaves in the yard that night are vivid in my mind.

There are countless similar things. Xia Dong has been used to being arrogant since childhood. At that time, in addition to making money, Father Qi also ordered milk for all three children, one bag every two days. Milk was still a rarity at that time, and the price was really high for three servings at a time. It was also Father Qi who thanked his sister's family for taking care of Qi Zhi.

But in fact, Qi Ji and Xia Jing basically never drank that milk, and Xia Dong took them all.

He drank three servings by himself. Sometimes he couldn't finish it himself, so he would share it with his friends, and wouldn't let Qi Ji and Xia Jing touch it. Only occasionally when I am in a good mood will I be merciful and let the two share a taste.

Aunt and uncle never care.

Even if they do, they will only go to Xia Dong.

Xia Dong has a bad personality and is unconditionally spoiled by her parents. She has been unscrupulous and lawless since she was a child. Qi Ji was not surprised that he would do something to threaten his parents with murder.

He asked Xia Jing, "Where were you when the accident happened?"

Before Qi Ji cut off contact with her hometown, Xia Jing was still living at home. She has been bullied a lot more than Qi Jizhi since she was a child, and her character is weak. In this family, she is not like her own daughter at all, but more like a free laborer.

She said, "I'm at Brother Qiang... Liu Qiang's place."

"Liu Qiang?"

"It's the person my mother asked me to marry." Xia Jing said, "I used to work in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, but she told me to go back, but I didn't want to go. She said that the dowry was already collected, so I wouldn't go if I didn't go... Liu Qiang was also afraid that I would run away. Lock me up."

Even when she said such things, her voice was timid.

Qi Ji frowned, "Then where are you now?"

"I'm going home and staying at the old house." Xia Jing seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't believe it, and her tone was a little nervous, "Liu Qiang is also a member of that group, and was arrested together this time, so I can come out. But I can't even borrow money from him..."

Qi Ji couldn't help raising his hand, pinching his eyebrows.

What the hell is this.

His fingertips were still cold, but at the same time, the tightness in his chest began to gradually subside. Qi Ji took a deep breath, and the cold air poured into his chest and lungs, making people more awake.

The floating soul finally fell and sank into the body, and his feet also regenerated the real feeling of stepping on the ground.

This kind of unpleasant and strange relatives, the trivial things that cause headaches, are the things that Qi Ji is most familiar with.

This is his world.

The cool wind stabbed people's throat slightly, Qi Ji coughed lightly, and said, "The card number is sent, and I will transfer it to you."

He pressed the cigarette butt on the stone pillar beside him: "As for the funeral, Mingyu and I can't get away from here, so we won't go back."

Qi Ji also had no plans to send her aunt's family to the end.

Xia Jing was startled at first, and quickly said, "I know I know, okay."

She was really grateful: "Thank you very much, I will pay it back when I earn my salary..."

Apart from borrowing money, she really didn't ask for anything.

When the call was hung up, Qi Ji couldn't help but sigh.

I don't know how such a family has raised a person of Xia Jing's character.

Instead, these bad things pulled Qi Ji out of his emotional depression. He put away the half-pack of cigarettes he had smoked, sent the money neatly, and went to check the local news in his hometown.

Qi Ji still has no real sense of the debt ending.

He also collected and kept all kinds of evidence bit by bit, but he didn't expect this day to come so easily.

To be honest, it's not that they haven't called the police before.

When the debt fell on Father Qi, he went to report the case. But Father Qi came out from the local police station on the front foot, and received a call on the back foot, intimidating him to be honest and not play tricks.

After that, Father Qi went to report the case again, and before he could enter the police station, he was stopped directly and beaten badly.

The more remote the countryside, the more intricate and deeply rooted the local forces. It is difficult for ordinary people to escape this network of regional circles. Not only in the local area, but those people will also form gangs in various places. The few people who lied to Qi's father to guarantee him have used their contacts in S city to let Qi's father and the others even After leaving home and coming to S City, he still couldn't get out of control.

After their parents died, they forced Qi Ji, who inherited the estate, to sign a debt repayment letter.

Local media reports were scattered and not scaled. After another two days, everything settled down, and Qi Jicai finally confirmed the matter from the overwhelming news.

The local underworld forces have been completely eradicated.

This is a nationwide operation, and the investigation is unprecedented. The places that have always been lagging behind are no exception. Recently, the official inspection team has visited in person.

Not long after, Qi Zhi received a message from the S city police station and asked him to cooperate with the inquiry.

He hasn't entered the police station for many years, and the atmosphere here is much milder than Qi Ji imagined. A young lady in uniform even brought him two mints.

When inquiring about relevant matters, Qi Ji handed over the evidence that he had kept, and the expressions of those staff members suddenly became much more serious.

At first, they wanted to educate Qi Ji that he must seek police protection in case of an accident. After learning the whole story, they didn't say any more, but solemnly expressed their gratitude to Qi Ji.

Finally, Miss Sister sent Qi out.

"We will try our best to recover the assets involved in the case. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation."

Qi Ji nodded, "Thank you."

He turned his head and looked at the police station in front of him. The windows were bright and clean, solemn and upright.

Such a stark contrast to the old police station where my father was beaten many years ago.

Qi Ji retracted her gaze and lowered her eyelashes.

After so long... it's finally over.

After leaving the police station, Qi Ji's half-day leave had not been used up. After sending a message to Qi Mingyu, who lives on campus, about the incident, Qi Ji thought about it and went to the intersection alone.

The S city cemetery is too expensive, and it is impossible to afford it with Qi Ji's financial resources. There has always been a folk custom of returning the soul to the hometown, so Qi Ji buried his parents back to the ancestral grave of his hometown.

He wants to mourn, except for the tablets placed on the wooden cabinet at home, he can only come to this intersection.

Before reaching the place, Qi Ji happened to pass by a flower shop and planned to go in and buy a bunch of chrysanthemums.

However, as soon as he pushed the door in, he was slightly in a trance.

Qi Ji has an excellent memory and never doubts his own memory. But he clearly did not remember that he had been here, but he always felt that this flower shop was inexplicably familiar.

Even the female boss with short hair and black leather coat next to the flower stand seems to have seen it somewhere.

Qi Ji couldn't help but feel suspicious.

In addition to his confusion, the female boss's reaction was also a little strange. Since Qi sent it in, the female boss who was originally instructing the clerk to arrange flowers looked up several times.

Qi Ji hesitated for a while, but walked over: "Do you know me?"

For some unknown reason, even though it was his first time here, he always felt as if he owed money to the other party.

The boss looked at him and said, "I saw you in the accident that happened at the intersection three years ago."

Qi Ji was stunned for a moment.

The boss said, "Sorry to mention this."

Although she has short hair and black clothes and is dressed in a sassy outfit, her tone is soft and not cold.

Qi Ji was appeased by her and relaxed a little. He shook his head: "It's okay, there is good news for them today."

The boss smiled: "That's good."

She personally helped Qi Ji choose a bunch of white daisies, tied them neatly, and wrapped them in floral paper. The plump flowers are in full bloom, exuding a faint fragrance.

Although it was meant to pay homage to the dead, the flowers bloomed so vigorously.

Thanks to the boss, Qi Ji was about to pay, but hesitant.

He finally asked, "Do I owe you money?"

The boss laughed and shook his head: "No."

It seemed that she was not surprised by this thoughtless sentence.

Qi Ji hesitated, but paid the original price.
