that afternoon, lu yinxi still went to give out flyers.
when she returned home after dark, her second uncle asked her with a smile, ” yinxi, why are you back so late? ”
lu yinxi looked up at the wall and saw that it was already seven o ‘clock. she said, ” i was distributing flyers outside today. i just finished. ”
“haven’t you eaten yet?” lu zizun walked toward her, the beard on his face unshaven.
lu zhongyang stared at her with a smile in his eyes. he didn’t look like someone who would do such a thing to her underwear. lu yinxi suppressed the fear in her heart. she nodded slightly and said, ” i’ve eaten. ”
lu zhongyi was surprised. ” what did you eat? ”
“fried rice,”
lu yinxi took off her shoes and walked in. she didn’t see anyone else at home. there were only her and her second uncle at home. this made lu yinxi, who realized the real reason why her underwear had become dirty, feel flustered.
lu yinxi tried to look calm and normal.
” second uncle, where’s aunt? ” she asked lu zengyong.
” the supermarket is having a discount tonight. she went to buy something. ”
“what about sister jingjing?”
“we went together.”
there were only the two of them in the house!
lu yinxi heard footsteps approaching her. lu yinxi’s body tensed up, and her face was a little pale. suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder. lu yinxi, who was already nervous, was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. she slapped away her second uncle’s hand.
“don’t touch me!”
this was the first time lu yinxi had used such a rough language on the master of the house in the four years she had lived there.
lu zizun was stunned.
the smile on his face froze for a moment, and then it became even deeper. lu ziqing raised his hand, which had been slapped away by lu yinxi. he shook his hand and asked lu yinxi, ” what’s wrong with yinxi? are you afraid of second uncle?”
lu zhongyi’s smile was a little strange.
he had probably guessed why lu yinxi was afraid of him.
lu yinxi’s body was trembling slightly. she couldn’t help but tremble. just as she was about to ask lu zhongyi if he was the one who did those perverted things, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
lu yinxi relaxed when she saw the door behind lu zizun open.
yan juan and lu jingjing walked into the house as they talked.
” these pajamas only cost 30 yuan a set. i felt quite comfortable, so i bought an extra set for yinxi … ” yan juan said. she looked up and saw lu zizai and lu yinxi standing face to face. she was a little surprised and asked them, ” what did you do? ”
lu yinxi almost exposed lu zhongyi’s perverted side in front of yan juan.
lu ziqing guessed what she was going to do. he suddenly grinned at lu yinxi, his smile especially sly. lu yinxi’s heart turned cold, and she lost the ability to speak.
lu zongzi answered yan juan, ” i saw that yinxi came back late, so i asked her if she had eaten. ”
as expected, yan juan believed lu zhongyi’s words.
“yinxi, have you eaten?”
“i’ve eaten,” lu yinxi said.
“auntie bought you a set of pajamas. take a look and see if it fits.” yan juan handed the set of pajamas she had bought at a discount to lu yinxi. lu yinxi slowly walked over, took the pajamas, and whispered a thank you.
after they returned to the room, lu yinxi put down her pajamas and wiped the cold sweat on her back. the thought of living under the same roof as her second uncle made lu yinxi feel terrified.
that night, lu yinxi didn’t leave her room. she hadn’t eaten that night either. fortunately, she had bought some bread from a shop on her way back. when she was hungry at night, she would eat bread to satisfy her hunger.
for a long time after that, lu yinxi avoided lu zizai. whenever lu zizai was at home, she would definitely go in and out with lu jingjing. lu yinxi only dared to sleep well when lu zizun was not at home.
after more than a month, lu yinxi’s mental state became worse, and her academic performance declined. when the results of the third monthly exam came out, she dropped 15 places in the class.
lu yinxi was called over by all the teachers for a chat. when it was the language teacher’s turn, teacher li, lu yinxi was scolded even more harshly. after listening to teacher li’s nasty insults, she even wondered if she was mentally retarded.
the weather was getting colder. lu yinxi returned home and saw yan juan sitting alone at the table. lu yinxi called her aunt. seeing that she was full of worries, she didn’t want to make things difficult for her aunt. she planned to go back to her room and be a quiet, invisible person.
she returned to her room and had only solved four or five math questions when there was a sudden knock on the door.
” who is it? ” lu yinxi asked.
“yinxi, are you busy? auntie has something to tell you.”
lu yinxi only relaxed when she heard her aunt’s voice. she got up and opened the door, letting yan juan in. lu yinxi saw yan juan’s worried face and asked, ” is there something on your mind, auntie? ”
“so you can tell?” yan juan smiled awkwardly, but her smile was uglier than her crying.
lu yinxi looked at yan juan quietly and didn’t say anything.
yan juan seemed to want to say something, but she was too embarrassed to open her mouth. she dawdled for nearly a minute before she said, ” yinxi, aunt’s sister needs heart surgery. she only has a good-for-nothing son, and the surgery costs are very high. she asked me to borrow money … ”
at the mention of money, yan juan’s expression was as grim as if the end of the world had come. “you also know our family’s situation. auntie really can’t take out any money. aunty only has one relative, and aunty can’t watch her illness be delayed because she doesn’t have money …”
she didn’t get to the main point. lu yinxi asked, ” aunt, what are you trying to say? ”
yan juan paused.
she looked at lu yinxi with a troubled expression. yan juan stammered, ” yinxi, yinxi, you see, you see, can you … ”
perhaps the request that she was about to make was too shameless. yan juan’s old face blushed. lu yinxi heard her say intermittently, ” didn’t your parents leave you a sum of money? yinxi, seeing that i’ve treated you well all these years, you … you see, can you lend me some first? ”
lu yinxi’s expression changed slightly. she was shocked.
she had actually made such a request!
she actually asked a fourteen-year-old child to borrow money from her parents for her studies!
lu yinxi was shocked and a little hurt.
yan juan felt even more embarrassed when she saw lu yinxi’s expression. however, since she had already started the conversation, her next words of persuasion weren’t so embarrassing. “yinxi, don’t worry. auntie will return it to you. i’ll lend you 25000 yuan, and i’ll definitely return it to you within a year. i can guarantee that you’ll have the money to pay your school fees when you’re in high school!”
” aunty … ” lu yinxi’s face was a little pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.
lu yinxi said to yan juan, ” auntie, you’re forcing me. ”
she had used her family and the kindness of taking her in all these years to force her to lend her that sum of money!
that afternoon, lu yinxi still went to give out flyers.
when she returned home after dark, her second uncle asked her with a smile, ” yinxi, why are you back so late? ”
