The second day.
As soon as Qin Yu entered the office, the old cat came and found him: "What are you up to?"
"Old Hei told me a few words before he died and asked me to approve his pension and give it to the two children he raised. Go." Qin Yu responded with a drink of water, "I just finished writing the report, and I am going to send it."
"Ah."
"You don't have three on your side, don't you need to deal with it?" Qin Yu asked actively.
"I'm working on it, I'm in contact with the family of the sacrificed colleague." The old cat lowered his head and replied: "I don't like this kind of occasion, so I didn't go."
"Ah." Qin Yu nodded.
"Hey, will you have anything to do?" the old cat suddenly asked.
Qin Yu was taken aback: "It's time to interrogate the two horses, there is nothing important."
"Then you come with me to Qi Lin's house." The old cat deliberately pretended to be a fool: "He transferred After going to the logistics, there will be no field work subsidies, and the wages will be reduced...I am afraid this kid can't think about it and hangs himself."
After a period of contact, Qin Yu has discovered that this old cat is just a mouthful, and sometimes he doesn't speak at all. Pay attention to other people's feelings, but they are very clear in their hearts. He probably knew that he had said something at the breakfast shop yesterday, so he made such a statement. But when he went to Qi Lin by himself, he was a little bit indifferent, so he came over and pulled himself together.
"Get off work at noon. I'll have to go to Zhu Wei to see the interrogation later." Qin Yu replied, glancing at the wall clock.
"Okay, then I'll call you at noon."
"Okay."
...
As soon as the bell was over at noon, Qin Yu sat on 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 people in this era, at least in the nine districts, they are definitely mid-range income groups. No matter how dangerous it is, after all, it is an iron job, with a fixed salary every month. But even so, Qi Lin's life was very difficult. His family is located in a slum on the edge of the black street, and most of the people here have no stable jobs. It's okay to be younger, at least able to do a little bit of work, to deal with a bite of food, but the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled suffer. Some of them are really incapable of working. And Songjiang ** also does not have enough resources to provide relief food for everyone, so there are really starving people here. The crime rate is also very high, and personnel turnover and turnover are very common.
The reason why Qi Lin lives in such a place is because of economic problems. The house here is cheap, with lights and water available 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 still has to eat after dinner before leaving. Even the clothes at home are taken to the superintendent to wash... all of these are to save trouble. money.
After Qin Yu stepped into the small yard of Qi Lin's house, he turned his head and looked at the surrounding scenes. He saw that the yard was a square with an area of about three to four hundred square meters, but most of them belonged to the landlord. They just left two rooms at the door. The low and small bungalows were rented to Qi Lin for a long time. And the two bungalows are facing each other, there is a wall in the middle, and there is an iron door... This kind of layout may be strange to people who don't understand, but anyone who understands understands that this is the landlord's fear of the tenant The hands and feet are not clean, the partitions are deliberately made, and the iron doors must be locked when sleeping at night. It's just that Qi Lin has lived here for a long time. Maybe the landlord also knows what he does, so he relaxes the management. The iron gate is left open for a long time to show respect... After the two entered the courtyard, they looked up and saw Qi Lin. Very depressed sitting on the steps in a daze.
"What are you doing?" The old cat rushed up and asked.
Qi Lin was taken aback and stood up: "What's the matter with you?"
"It's up to you whether you are dead or not." What the old cat is best at is that he can't speak well when he has something to do.
"Come, come in." Qi Lin may be the best at forgetting contradictions and embarrassment. He didn't mention anything about yesterday, and he adjusted his emotions quickly. He smiled and greeted the two of them to enter the house.
"Where's mom?" Old Cat asked.
"My mother is lying in the opposite room, and my sister is doing odd jobs next to others, and she is not at home." Qi Lin smiled, "
Go in and drink some water." "Don't drink, go see mom." The old cat carried him. The food is specially prepared for Qi Lin's mother.
Qi Lin was silent for a while, shaking his head and replied: "Don't go."
"What's wrong?" Qin Yu asked.
"We are quarreling."
"Fuck!" The old cat scolded as soon as he heard this, "I'm getting angry, take my mother out of my temper? How old are you, can you be a bit proud?!"
"Pull it down, it's her ." Take me out." Qi Lin sighed and said, "Well, I have to get a daughter-in-law back for her. You say...I'm going to adjust logistics soon. I earn more than 100 less a month, and it's hard to live. Where
do you go to give her a daughter-in-law?" "Why do you suddenly marry a daughter-in-law?" the old cat asked curiously.
Qi Lin hesitated for a long while, greeted the two of them to enter the house, and talked about what happened.
Qi Lin's mother suffers from liver disease and has been dragging on without much money for treatment, so that the trouble has now become a syndrome, with atrophy of vital organs in the body, and there is not much time to look at it. The old lady has no culture, and the family is full of disasters. She may not have any desires before she leaves, so she wants Qi Lin to get married, and she can see a descendant before she closes her eyes... and she does this more deeply. Qi Lin knew the reason for the level. The old lady just didn't want him to spend more money on herself, so she quickly got a wife and settled down.
Inside the house.
After Qin Yu heard Qi Lin's words, he didn't say a word. He didn't know what advice to give the other party. But the old cat pondered for a while and asked: "Just 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 in life."
"She's got in touch, next to her . Daughter-in-law of old Dong found an intermediary. My mother meant that I would spend money to marry one. But in my case, you know, this has just been punished and my income has decreased. I can't guarantee what I will do in the future. ..." Qi Lin looked sad.
After listening to Qi Lin's words, the old cat thought for a while and said, "You can buy one."
"Don't be nonsense." Qi Lin waved his hand: "If my punishment is serious and the Superintendent can't stay any longer, what should I do in the future? "It's
definitely not possible to pick up your clothes," the old cat said, lowering his head, "I will protect you from working as the superintendent."
Qi Lin was stunned when he heard the sound.
"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, and sighed: "If you don't heal, just maintain, it means deterioration...
How long is hard to say." "Then the whole daughter-in-law." The old cat gritted his teeth and said: "You should marry too, you can't be a big man. Every day, if you don't do anything, just run home. Someone can take care of it, and you can do your job well."
"But in my hand..."
"You will wait." The old cat threw a sentence and turned and rushed to Qin. Yu shouted: "You come out with me."
"Old cat, no need." Qi Lin stood up immediately.
The old cat pointed to Qi Lin and said, "Let you wait, you just wait."
Two minutes later, outside the door.
Old cat smoking an electronic cigarette, lowered his head and said to Qin Yu, "Are you rich?"
Qin Yu blinked his eyes: "I can lend him five hundred at most."
"That's not enough." The old cat shook his head.
Qin Yu responded without hesitation: "I am so capable."
The old cat raised his head and said word by word: "If Qian Qilin doesn'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 careful consideration for a few seconds, he replied, "I have fifteen thousand left. I will get you three thousand and I will leave two hundred for dinner."
"Thanks, brother." Old cat He 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 get back?"
"I'll go to the dirt street to sell silver, and I will pay you back."
"...You are paralyzed," Qin Yu collapsed: "I don't want to borrow anymore."
"That's it." The old cat rushed into the house with a smile, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Qi Lin, let someone contact us. We got together. Get three thousand and five for you, and you will find a way for the rest."
Qi Lin stood in the tattered room, stared at the two for a long while, and bowed deeply: "I...I...I will definitely pay the money. "
...
Yes, Qi Lin didn't want to go against his mother's meaning, because he knew this might be the old lady's last wish.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Lin, with a huge amount of money wrapped around his waist, drove away from Songjiang City with Qin Yu and the old cat and rushed to Beitai Life Village.
The vehicle passed through Songjiang, which had been frozen for several years, and the tires rolled over the white snow and stopped on an unnamed dirt road. The three of Qin Yu 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 who was wrapped in a military coat greeted her with flushing cheeks and asked: "Buy someone?"
"That's such a red L," the old cat replied unhappily. : "Find a wife."
"Come with me." The old lady dropped a sentence, turned and left.
The three followed her around the run-down bungalow area and walked into a leaky private house.
The old lady opened the iron door and pointed to a dozen people of various races sitting on the floor in the house and said: "There are all black and white. As long as the money is in place, I can talk about anything..."
Qin Yu stayed at the door and covered his hands. Nose: "Qi Lin, you can go into the house and pick it up."
"Are they all with the right of abode?" The old cat pretended to know it well.
"Brother, let me introduce you to those who have the right of abode?" The old lady rolled her eyes, "Isn't it fragrant to pick up work directly on the dirt street?"
"...sister, you know how to do it."
"Fuck," the old lady said with her lips : "Who doesn't have a story now."
The old cat didn't say a word.
The old lady patted Qi Lin on the shoulder: "Brother, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, buying and selling, customers first. You go in and pick, there is a flashlight, the dark one can't see clearly, you can light it up..."
Qi Lin was indeed a little embarrassed, standing at the door slightly restrained.
"Boom!"
The old cat kicked Qi Lin into the house: "Hurry up, it's getting dark."
Qi Lin blinked his eyes and stepped into the room.
…
On the other end, a figure glanced around sneakily, stepped to the window of Qi Lin's house, and whispered: "Qi Lin, Qi Lin, are you at home?"
There was a rush of footsteps behind him. The figure was taken aback, lowered his head and pulled out the big spray squeezed in his clothes, then glanced back and found that only someone was passing by.
With fine beads of sweat on the forehead of the figure, he glanced into Qi Lin's house again, and only after seeing no one, he frowned and left.
