When Bai Yueguang was disheartened

Chapter 30

Yin Zhen forgot how he left Yin's house.

He mechanically returned to the old housekeeper's house, and the next day he found an intermediary to rent a cheap tube building.

The corridors are dark, and the ventilation windows are broken with a small piece of glass, which is covered with dust and cobwebs because they have not been opened for many years.

The trash can outside is full of domestic waste, and even flies and cockroaches can be seen crawling.

Yin Zhen covered his nose and followed the agent into the room he was looking at.

The house has only one bathroom, not even a kitchen or balcony.

Yin Zhen frowned and asked, "Is there nothing else? This room is really good."

The agent interrupted him impatiently, "Little brother, I have already shown you many houses, and you are always not satisfied with this or that. Of course there are houses with a good environment, but the rent you give is too little. If you have a lot of money, I can even find a villa for you."

"Don't blame me for my bad attitude. Just talk about it and I'll earn you hundreds of dollars as an agency fee. I've been going back and forth with you many times in this hot day."

"Let me tell you the truth. You don't like this house. Some people like it. Although it's a little small, other houses at your price have shared bathrooms."

Yin Zhen was silent for a few seconds, and finally looked at him, "Then here it is, Ma, please."

After they signed the contract, the agent couldn't help complaining in a low voice when they left, "Young master would be sick a lot without the young master's life."

Yin Zhen didn't speak, and just packed his few luggage silently.

The rent here is 1000 yuan a month, three deposits pay one, the agency fee is 500 yuan, and 500 yuan is used to buy daily necessities.

Yin Zhen took out a small notebook and started keeping accounts. He counted the money on his body, the remaining one hundred thousand yuan, besides living, he also needed to find a lawyer for Yin Jianfeng, as well as university tuition and living expenses.

This is the first time Yin Zhen feels pressure and powerlessness.

I have to figure out a way to make money.

In the middle of the night, Yin Zhen curled up on the narrow and hard bed to make plans.

In the end, the people in the school found out about the accident at his house, and Xi Xin hurriedly contacted him, even skipping the evening cram school.

When he came to Yin Zhen's new home, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"Zhenzhen, do you live here now?"

In his impression, Yin Zhen was always clean, dressed in luxury and cool like a little prince, but Yin Zhen in front of him was wearing a cheap t-shirt and sweatpants, wearing plastic gloves and cleaning with a rag .

He is still good-looking, but he just doesn't fit in with this environment.

He smiled at Xi Xin, "The place is a bit small, you can just sit down, do you want something to drink? I only have water here, if you want a drink, there is a canteen downstairs, I will buy it for you."

Xi Xin swallowed dryly, and hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, I'm not thirsty, so sit down."

Yin Zhen said lightly, wait a moment, took off the gloves on his hands, washed his hands twice with hand sanitizer, and after drying them, he took a bench and sat next to Xi Xin.

Xi Xin has been observing him, seeing that his face is calm, but his eyes are always full of fatigue and imperceptible sadness. It seems that nothing has changed, and it seems that everything has changed.

He asked about Yin Zhen's situation. At school, he only heard that Yin Zhen's family went bankrupt, and his father was taken away by the police for investigation, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious that Yin Zhen was reduced to live in this place.

"Zhenzhen, why are you alone, where is Zhou Yuan? Where did he go, why isn't he with you at this time?"

It's no wonder Xi Xin asked such a question, he didn't know the truth of the matter at all.

"I and we broke up"

"What?! Divided, broke up?" Xi Xin jumped up from the chair, picked up the things and scolded, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to leave, "Stupid Zhou Yuan, I can't tell if a dog is still a Phoenix man, you He will break up with you as soon as the family goes bankrupt, and he has fed the dog for a few years! Why doesn't he go to act? If he wants to act, there must be a lot of statuettes in the family, right?"

"Fuck! I'll beat him up for you, we can't swallow this breath!!!"

Yin Zhen held him back desperately, but in the end he could only tell everything.

Only then did Xi Xin calm down. He didn't speak for a long time, and finally looked at Yin Zhen's eyes reddened, "What's all this?"

anger, resentment, fear, oppression

But life had to go on, and the two talked about their future plans for a long time afterwards.

Xi Xin knew that he wanted to make money, so he also tried to give him advice, "Zhenzhen, don't you know how to play the piano? You can become a teacher to teach children how to play the piano. Now many piano shops are recruiting teachers. You have passed z The admissions of the college will definitely be no problem."

The two of them have a good idea, but the college entrance examination has not yet been taken, and the school's admission letter is still far away.

In the third year of high school, he was still young, even though he had a full-level piano certificate, there was still no piano store willing to take him.

The cost of finding a lawyer is high, and the police station needs to deal with it. The money spent is like a faucet that is turned on.

Yin Zhen was so forced that he couldn't help it. He was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep well. When he went to visit Yin Jianfeng, Yin Jianfeng, who had always been tough, couldn't help crying and said he was sorry.

Yin Zhen felt sad, but he looked at his father, whose hair was mostly gray, and only comforted him with good news.

He said that the college entrance examination was approaching, and the teacher said that his grades and culture points must be good enough to be admitted to the Piano Department of Z College. He also said that he rented a good house, the location is good, the environment is quiet, and the neighbors are friendly. He also said that he can apply for a student loan , Finishing college is not a problem, and he said a little proudly that he will go to Z College in the future, and he can make a lot of money by playing the piano casually, so Yin Jianfeng must not worry about himself.

After coming out of the detention center, it was almost dark, and every house was lit up. Looking at this city where he was born and grown up, Yin Zhen felt lonely and strange for the first time.

There are thousands of lights, but none of them are lit for him.

After the college entrance examination, the first good news finally came. Xi Xin introduced him to a job. His relatives opened a western restaurant, and the pianist in it resigned.

Given the opportunity, Xi Xin of course recommended Yin Zhen without hesitation.

After being hired, the working hours are from 09:30 pm to [-]:[-] pm every day. The salary is good, and because it is a shop opened by Xi Xin's relatives, they take extra care of Yin Zhen.

But Yin Zhen worked for three days, and on the first day, the store ushered in customers to report and conduct fire inspections.

The next day, customers ushered in trouble, saying that there was something wrong with the ingredients in their store, and a sanitation inspection was ushered in.

On the third day, Yin Zhen was hit by a white-haired man in his forties after the performance, and the man spilled the red wine on his body.

Yin Zhen thought that he was a staff member, so he subconsciously apologized, but the other party did not intend to forgive, and kept smiling and even made sarcastic remarks.

Finally, the store manager came over and wanted to rescue Yin Zhen, "I'm sorry, sir, this is our staff's mistake, we can bear the dry cleaning cost of your clothes and exempt you from spending in the store tonight, you can forgive us this time fault?"

The man's eyes were burning, he looked at Yin Zhen with his legs crossed and his chin resting, and he said with a smile, "No."

Yin Zhen was dismissed, and Xi Xin's relatives called him, "I hired you because of Xiao Xin's face, because our store has been promoted, and we can't tolerate your big Buddha, so we should let our shop go." A way out."

"I will double your work for these three days, so don't come here again."

Yin Zhen lost his job just like that, Xi Xin was very angry and finally hugged Yin Zhen and cried, but Yin Zhen was exceptionally calm.

I heard Zhou Yuan's news from the lawyer I hired. He was recommended to B University and did not take the college entrance examination, and he used this time to start an Internet business. He has a strong momentum and a good reputation. He is the entrepreneur in the city. point of discussion.

Zhou Yuan seemed to be on the verge of opening up, and the wind and water went unbelievably smoothly, and he gained both power and financial resources.

Although the two hadn't met each other, apart from Zhou Yuan, Yin Zhen really couldn't think of anyone else who would trip him up and see him living a good life.

After the job of playing in the restaurant fell through, Xi Xin left the time of summer vacation to play and accompany Yin Zhen to find a job under the sun.

Without a degree, it is almost impossible to get anywhere in a big city. After searching for a long time, Yin Zhen finally found a job as a cashier in a 24-hour convenience store.

Two shifts, one day off per week, 12 hours a day.

Irregular work and rest, overloaded work, anxiety and poor appetite in summer, Yin Zhen lost nearly [-] catties in less than a month.

He was skinny before, now he looks more skinny.

He has fair skin, and the owner of the convenience store has a soft heart, and even gave him an extra red envelope as a reward to let him eat more.

Less than half a month after working in the convenience store, Xi Xin disappeared.

Yin Zhen couldn't contact him, and he had never been to the other party's house. He asked several classmates to find Buyuan's contact information. When he called to ask, the other party said lightly: "Xi Xin has gone abroad."

"Go abroad?!"

"Well, his family is going to send him to study abroad in college."

It was so sudden, Yin Zhen didn't believe it, because the last time we met, Xi Xin sat with him at a roadside stall eating beef noodles, and told himself with a smile, "Zhenzhen, I decided to confess to Bu Yuan, if he agrees, I will Go to a university with him, if he doesn't agree, I will also go to a university with him, and pester him until he agrees."

He never mentioned going abroad, and if he really went abroad, how could he not tell himself?

Yin Zhen didn't believe it, and Bu Yuan's tone was not good, and he said anxiously: "He confessed to me that he is gay, and this matter was known by our two parents. I never thought that he would be so disgusting. Now he Has been

Parents were sent abroad forcibly. "

The news was like a bolt from the blue. Standing in the air-conditioned shop, Yin Zhen couldn't stop shaking.

After his father was imprisoned, Xi Xin stayed with him all the time.

Now that Xi Xin is gone, a heavy sense of loneliness and suffocation hit Yin Zhen like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Zhen's work also began to fail.

He received two fake money, and because of his ignorance, he was tricked into taking away two packs of "He Tian Xia" cigarettes.

Yin Zhen didn't pay much attention to these small accounts in the past, but now it's different. His monthly salary is only 3000 yuan, and he lost a full 400 yuan in an instant. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel distressed.

The bad news came one after another. His father's former friends found him and saw him with such a sad expression.

This uncle's surname is Li, and Yin Zhen has met this uncle many times before, and the other party told him that he has connections in the police station, and maybe he can help Yin Zhen.

He used some tricks. When Yin Zhen visited Yin Jianfeng, he did hear that his life was better recently than before, and his work was easier.

Yin Zhen completely believed in the other party, and had two meals with his so-called "relationship". Yin Zhen didn't know how to drink, so he drank half a glass of white wine in one gulp to help his father.

Later, Uncle Li told him that there was indeed a way to commute Yin Jianfeng's sentence.

He rubbed his thumb on his index finger and middle finger, and Yin Zhen understood what he meant, "Uncle Li, I won't hide it from you, I really don't have much money right now."

Uncle Li sighed, and said to Yin Zhen with the right words: "This opportunity is rare, and he only agreed to help me because of my face. You know your father's situation, and if the man said it, he might still do it." Sentence, you don't want to see your father die in prison, do you?"

He said it seriously, Yin Zhen didn't have much social experience after all, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and finally introduced a loan company under the other party's tricks.

Unexpectedly, he fell into a huge pit.

After taking out the money to make connections, Uncle Li disappeared together with the person who was with him, and it was only then that Yin Zhen realized that he had been cheated.

Money was empty, and online loans snowballed. He had less and less money. Because of his depression and frequent leave, he lost his job as a cashier at a convenience store.

Yin Zhen has lived for more than 18 years and has never experienced such a trough.

He is like a doll that has lost its soul, walking home in the rain with a lost soul.

When passing the viaduct by the river, Yin Zhen looked at the river and wanted to jump off. When his hand touched the railing, the words of his father and mother flashed in his mind.

"Don't be afraid, you have to be good."

He withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and ran all the way home, but was caught in the alley of Tongzilou.

The person who borrowed the money came to collect the debt. Several men held batons in their hands, and one of them grabbed Yin Zhen's skirt, pushed him against the dirty wall, and forced him to pay back the money with a ferocious expression.

Terrified, Yin Zhen took out his wallet tremblingly, and gave the other party all the money on his body, but it was not enough for the interest on the money he borrowed.

He was drenched all over, his black hair stuck to his face, his skin was so white that it seemed to be transparent, and his face was full of horror.

The man who grabbed him let go, and stroked his face, "If you really don't pay back the money, I'll send you to be a duck. You'll be in demand by then, and I believe you'll be able to pay back the money soon." gone."

After some threats, they finally let Yin Zhen go, but when they were leaving, one of them took the baton in his hand and slammed it on Yin Zhen's right forearm.

Yin Zhen fell into the pool of water, clutching his arms and screaming, gasping for breath but unable to even climb up, finally passed out.

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital. The doctor said that a nearby resident called 120.

As for his right hand, it was fractured due to the violent blow and needed to be hospitalized for surgery. Yin Zhen was physically and mentally exhausted, broke down and cried, and insisted on leaving the hospital.

He couldn't afford the hospital bill, but the doctor told him, "If there is no operation, his hand may never be able to play the piano again."

The doctor reassured Yin Zhen not to worry, saying that the hospital has a foundation that specializes in helping children. Although Yin Zhen is an adult, he has just finished the college entrance examination, and this special application may be approved.

The result of the application came out the next day, and Yin Zhen underwent bone surgery because of this, so he didn't have to worry about hospitalization expenses.

The ward he was in was a double room, and the bed next to him was discharged from the hospital the day he woke up, and no one has been admitted since then.

After the operation, Yin Zhen woke up in pain in the middle of the night. He couldn't help weeping softly. Later, he got out of bed because of thirst and wanted to pour himself a glass of water.

The kettle was empty, Yin Zhen could only go to the water room to fetch water, and he opened the door of the ward.

There was no one at the door, but several cigarette butts were thrown on the ground, and there was still a smell of smoke in the air.

After the operation, Yin Zhen stayed in the hospital for another week, and the nurses saw him alone

Poor, so everyone took extra care of him.

Yinzhen was discharged from the hospital and returned home. He walked through the smelly wet corridor with his nose covered. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhou Yuan sitting on the stool with his legs crossed, and jokingly said, "Yo, the young master is back."
