"Well, since there is no abnormality here, let's go quickly. It's half past five and Ms. Xiao should be back. Let's go to her house first. I think it's more important to start with the customer. May solve the customer's problem." Yin Shaodong suggested.
"En." I nodded, so I had no choice but to do so.
So with full of doubts, I once again looked at the blood stains on the ground, I shook my head slightly, and walked to the No. 6 building next to me.
When I first walked downstairs, I saw the oncoming Ms. Xiao.
Ms. Xiao saw us with a smile on her face and quickly walked towards us, "Oh, I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, so I'm a bit late, let you wait a long time."
Yin Shaodong quickly said: "No, we just arrived."
"Oh, that's good. Then let's go up quickly." Ms. Xiao greeted enthusiastically.
"Well, trouble you to lead the way."
Ms. Xiao turned and walked into the corridor.
Looking at Ms. Xiao's back, I still felt a little strange in my heart.
Strange, strange, what is strange in the end. Why do I always feel weird
"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Ling'er followed behind me, noticed an abnormality in me, and asked softly.
"No, nothing." I shook my head, after all, I couldn't tell.
Yin Shaodong looked at me and whispered in my ear: "What are you doubting anymore? You see what a enthusiastic customer Ms. Xiao is. You smile, don't think too much."
Ms. Xiao suddenly turned from the door with a trademark smile on her face, "Why don't you come?"
"Come here." Yin Shaodong pushed me and walked forward first.
I secretly said in my heart: "Smile to each other? Is that true?"
Then he took his steps and walked in.
After getting on the elevator, the elevator quickly reached the twelfth floor.
Ms. Xiao opened the door and smiled and greeted us to go in and sit.
"Sit down first, and I'll make a pot of tea for you."
"Okay, trouble you."
After I went in, I looked at the house and found that it was clean, and the furniture was all ready. It seemed that Ms. Xiao was alone, but the family affairs were all handled very well.
only…
"Where is Tingting?" I asked, sitting on the sofa, "Did you not bring her back with her?"
It stands to reason that Ms. Xiao is off work, and Tingting should also be out of school. Since the two are in the same school, don't they come back together
I was stunned when I saw Ms. Xiao preparing tea from the back, then turned around and said with a smile: "Tingting, I went to a classmate's house to play, and I won't be able to come back later."
"Oh, that's it." A cold light flashed in my eyes.
lie! Definitely lying!
Linger and I have met Xiao Tingting before, and she doesn't look like someone who can play with other classmates with such a personality.
Ms. Xiao came over with hot tea, and I stared at her motionlessly.
Ms. Xiao seemed a little unnatural to me, she smiled at us, and said: "Tingting, this child, is usually very obedient, so I have always spoiled her."
"En." I nodded calmly and continued to stare at Ms. Xiao.
Ms. Xiao's cheeks seemed to be slightly red.
Yin Shaodong poked me secretly, and I grinned, "What are you doing?"
"Can you not show the appearance of eating people? You were like that last time at Miss Xueluo's house." Yin Shaodong first smiled at Ms. Xiao, and then whispered in my ear.
"What do you know, in the fierce gaze, people will often reveal what they deliberately conceal." I retorted in a low voice.
"Aren't you playing a rogue?"
"How can this be a hooligan, this is technology!"
Seeing Yin Shaodong and I whispering, there was a trace of doubt on Ms. Xiao’s face.
"Two people, is there anything abnormal in my house?"
"Ah, this." After hearing Ms. Xiao's words, I recovered, "I haven't found anything abnormal for the time being, so Ms. Xiao, you don't have to worry too much."
"But," there was a trace of anxiety on Ms. Xiao's face, "I really can't control myself lately. You told me not to worry. It's impossible, you know? Yesterday, just yesterday, Tingting didn't use her chopsticks. Be careful and fall on the ground. As usual, I will never say anything more, but yesterday, I actually scolded her with ugly words and almost beat her."
"I don't know what's wrong with me. At that moment, I felt as if I lost my soul, but I regret it when I recovered. I'm so scared... And so many things have happened in this community recently. Everyone is there. Biography... I really suspect that I am possessed by something... Do you understand?... Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Seeing this scene, the three of us looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a while.
When I was about to comfort Ms. Xiao, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Tingting? Why did you come back so early today?" Ms. Xiao wiped away her tears quickly when she saw the figure coming in by pushing the door, and stood up and said.
I looked towards the door, yes, it was the girl I saw today.
She is the daughter of Ms. Xiao.
But why does she say she doesn't have a mother
And Ms. Xiao’s reaction was too strange, "Why did you come back so early?"
And the mothers don’t want their children to come back soon
I was full of doubts and stared at Xiao Tingting. Xiao Tingting apparently recognized that I was the person talking to her today. But she just drooped her eyes slightly and did not speak to me, but walked in silently with her schoolbag on her back.
What exactly is going on? Isn’t it too strange how the mother and child meet
"Tingting, you go back to the house first, I'll call you after I cook."
"Aunt Xiao," Tingting said suddenly coldly.
Ms. Xiao's face changed abruptly, and she stopped talking.
"Next time you invite someone to be a guest at home, please tell me in advance."
After Xiao Tingting finished speaking, she just bypassed us and went straight back to the house.
I stared at the scene in front of me blankly, probably guessing in my heart.
"Wow!" Xiao Jiu in Ling'er's arms suddenly became restless, and yelled at Tingting's back while raising her neck.
"Be quiet, Xiao Jiu." Linger pressed it back into his arms again.
"Wow." Xiao Jiu's eyes were shining brightly, staring at me.
My brow frowned, did Xiao Jiu find anything
Ms. Xiao gave a wry smile and sat where she was.
Suddenly, she covered her head and started sobbing in a low voice, "She still refuses to recognize my mother."
"This..." Yin Shaodong looked at this scene, completely unaware of what happened.
I watched this scene, paused, and said: "Ms. Xiao, what is the relationship between Tingting and you?"
After a long time...
"Actually, I am not from this family. Tingting used to have her own parents." Ms. Xiao said with a pale face.
My face suddenly became serious, is it a stepmother
"Later, Tingting's mother passed away because of illness, and I saw Tingting. Later, her father gambled in debt, and left the house in order to hide the debt," Ms. Xiao said.
"So Tingting is not your biological daughter at all?" I asked.
Ms. Xiao gave a wry smile, "I hope not, but she is."
"Ah? What's going on?" I was completely puzzled in my heart, what is she? Isn't Ms. Xiao Tingting's stepmother
"Tingting’s father and I knew each other. We were classmates from college. Then there was a class reunion, I didn’t know what was going on, maybe it was because I drank too much. When we woke up, we both fell asleep together. At that time, Ting Ting’s father already has a home, and I don’t have a partner yet."
"The two of us wanted to keep silent about this matter, just treating it as a drunk mistake. But I didn't expect that after more than a month, I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't plan to keep this child, but Tingting's father But I don’t know where I heard the news. Then I found me and said that her wife is infertile. I hope that I will keep the child and he will take it back and raise it later.” Ms. Xiao said lightly, as if talking. A sad past, but without any emotions,
"Later I thought the child was innocent, so I agreed. After the child was born, I let him take it away. I have never seen it.
"So that kid is Tingting?" I asked.
"Yes." Ms. Xiao nodded, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Later, about two years later, Tingting's mother passed away, and then the surname He found me and said it was for Tingting, and hoped that I could be with him. Live together. I didn’t agree at the time, I said I had to think about it. Later, for another four or five years, no one with the surname He came to me, and for various reasons, I was single and never married. Tingting I don’t know the fact that her biological mother is still in the world."
"Later, when Ting Ting was seven years old, she had a high fever and was hospitalized. The surname He came to me and said that she couldn't pay for the treatment. I felt sorry for Tingting, so I gave him the hospitalization fees. Then I thought about myself, three Ten years have not settled down, the family is rushed and anxious, and my heart is shaken. The most important thing is that when I went to the hospital to visit Tingting, she was skinny and looked malnourished. I felt very distressed. For Ting Ting's sake. Ting, I promised to look everywhere with the surname He first."
"But after we lived together, I found out that the surnamed He not only has no job, but also idles all day long, likes gambling, and spreads out foreign debts. I used my savings to help him repay a lot, but not only did he not restrain himself. Instead, he got worse. Then I threatened him, saying that I would take Tingting away with him anyway. He was scared and rested for a while."
"In less than two months, he suddenly said that he would go out to do business with friends, and that he would travel a long distance. For more than two months. At that time, I had a vague premonition in my heart, but I couldn't stop him. Until he left. On the third day later, when the creditor came to the house, I learned that he had spread hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, and then he just left.” (End of this chapter)
