Cute, you are wild

Chapter 126 I will pay back the money my dad owes

I haven't seen him for three years, Qi Wei has changed a lot, his hair is half white, his face is vicissitudes of life, and his finger holding the cigarette is black and rough, as if he has aged ten years.

"What do you want to say to me?" Qi Wei took a puff of smoke and squinted at her.

She took out all the money on her body from her pocket, counted out the fare for the trip back, and handed it to Qi Wei together with the remaining four thousand, together with the fruit in her hand.

"I saved the money for the fare."

Qi Wei stared slightly, "What does this mean?"

"I will pay back the money my father owes."

Qi Wei sneered, "Didn't you say that you have no obligation to help him pay back the money?"

"I have no obligation, but I have decided to help him pay back the money now. It is voluntary and no one can interfere."

Qi Wei stared at the stack of money she handed over, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally reached out to take it.

Now is the time when money is needed, and Qiao Ai decided to help her father pay off the debt, which is a good thing for him, even though he didn't expect her to pay much.

"Take the fruit too, I bought it on the way." Qiao Ai passed the fruit in his hand forward again.

Qi Wei took it and thanked him.

Qiao Ai still has something to say: "Mr. Qi, I'm still a student and I don't have much money. I'll be in my third year of high school next year. When I go to college, I'll have more time. I can work a few more jobs and get my money as soon as possible. It’s all over, I hope you will give me more time.”

Qi Wei nodded and said, "Pay back slowly, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself."

Although he was short of money, he didn't want to embarrass a little girl.

Qiao Ai volunteered to help her father pay back the money, which he admired very much.

"I still have a place to go, so I won't bother you. I hope Qi Guanglei's mother will recover soon." After Qiao Ai finished speaking, she turned and went back to the ward. She told Lawyer Wang that she had other things to do.

Qi Wei entered the ward at this time, Lawyer Wang said some polite words to him, and left with Qiao Ai.

After getting out of the hospital and getting into the car, Lawyer Wang asked Qiao Ai, the co-driver, "You want to visit your parents, don't you?"

Qiao Ai nodded, "Could you please take me there? I only have the fare to go back. I don't have any money to take a taxi."

Lawyer Wang laughed, "Of course."

Qiao Ai's parents were buried next to her mother's hometown's ancestral grave in the countryside. Since they couldn't afford the urban cemetery, they had to go back to their hometown for burial.

It takes more than half an hour to drive back home from Jiangbei, starting at two o'clock and arriving around [-]:[-].

When she was young, Qiao Ai went back to the countryside with her mother and visited her grandparents, so she is not particularly unfamiliar with this place.

Grandpa and grandma passed away long ago, and their old house was left unattended. It has become a critically endangered house, the roof has caved in, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. From a distance, it looks like a haunted house.

Qiao Ai didn't go to the house, but walked directly to the ancestral grave with Lawyer Wang.

The location of the ancestral grave is not far from the house of my grandparents, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk there.

In the countryside, burials are practiced, one after another like a trowel, with a tombstone erected in front of them.

Qiao Ai found the tombstone of her parents, but she hadn't come for three years, and weeds grew around the tombstone.

She squatted down, slowly cleaned up the weeds, took out a tissue from her pocket, and wiped off the thick layer of ash on the tombstone.

The money on her body was limited, only enough for the ticket back to the imperial capital, she couldn't even buy any paper money, so she came empty-handed.

In fact, she felt a little resentful towards her father. When he was alive, he was devoted to business and didn't care much about her, but when he died, he left her a big mess.

Although she can ignore this mess, her conscience can't bear it, especially when she saw Qi Wei's wife lying on the hospital bed, her skinny appearance, she became more determined to pay back the money for her father, even though the process would be difficult.

Lawyer Wang looked at Qiao Ai. She just cleaned up the weeds and the tombstone, stared blankly at the photo of her parents on the tombstone for a while, then got up and left without saying a word.

He followed, and the two of them were silent all the way, returning to the car along the way they came.

Qiao Ai fastened her seat belt, turned her head to look at Lawyer Wang, and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Small matter, what are your plans next? If you want to stay in Jiangbei for a few days, you can stay at my house."

"No, I have to go back today."

"In such a hurry?"

"Next time I have a chance, I'll come and see you again."

"Ok."

Lawyer Wang drove her back to the urban area, drove her directly to the high-speed rail station and left.

Qiao Ai failed to buy an early ticket, the latest bus to the Imperial Capital was at 05:30 in the evening, she calculated the time, and arrived at the Imperial Capital at about nine o'clock in the evening.

Well, it's not too late.

With no money left, Qiao Ai could only go back hungry.

I fell asleep in the car, and when I woke up, the train was almost at the station.

The sky outside the window was dark and gloomy, and it didn't know when it started to rain lightly.

10 minutes later, Qiao Ai got off the car.

The high-speed rail station was far away from the residence. Qiao Ai walked for more than an hour in the rain, and finally arrived home after ten o'clock.

The first thing you do when you enter the house is to change out your wet clothes, go to the bathroom to take a shower, and change into clean clothes.

Throwing the wet clothes into the washing machine for washing, Qiao Ai went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of instant noodles, and after eating a big bowl of hot noodles, she was revived with blood.

After washing the pots and dishes, Qiao Ai went back to the room, turned on the computer, and browsed the recruitment website.

She plans to use the remaining one month of summer vacation to work. The capital is a first-tier city, and the average salary is not low. However, she has no work experience and there are not many choices.

After browsing the recruitment website for an hour to no avail, Qiao Ai decided to go out early tomorrow to find out if there were any job recruiters nearby, and then fell asleep.

I don't know if it's because of the exhaustion from the journey. Qiao Ai didn't hear the alarm clock in the morning, and when he woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

As soon as she got up, she hurried to wash up, and then went back to her room to change her clothes.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Jiang Che watched her coming and going in and out of the room and bathroom with a hurried expression.

He was on duty all night. When he came back in the morning, he saw that Qiao Ai was in a deep sleep. He went back to his room and slept for a while, but he had something hidden in his heart. He didn't feel much sleepy. He woke up at ten o'clock and couldn't fall asleep again.

At past nine o'clock last night, he received a call from Lawyer Wang, who asked him if Qiao Ai got home safely.

He was stunned for a while before he realized that Qiao Ai had sneaked back to Jiangbei City and asked Lawyer Wang. He learned that Qiao Ai had gone back to visit her parents.

In the morning, he asked Aunt Li. At first, Aunt Li lied, saying that Qiao Ai was obediently at home all day, and obediently ate three meals a day on time. After he asked repeatedly, Aunt Li told the truth.

But the 'truth' that Aunt Li said was not true, but a lie fabricated by Qiao Ai.

She didn't go to her classmate's house at all, but went back to Jiangbei City alone.

A girl went to another city by high-speed rail alone, and she didn’t come back until after nine o’clock in the evening. Jiang Che felt scared after thinking about it. Fortunately, she was safe and sound on this journey. If something happened, how could he explain it to Jiang Sheng? Her dead parents confessed?
