【675】Charcoal in the snow(2/2)
"Stop kidding. Last month I just wanted to buy a new set of audio equipment for three thousand dollars last month, so she ruthlessly rejected me."
"You are so weak, you obviously want to use the money to gamble!"
"Gambling? The gambling person is her husband. Damn it. He lost so much money. Why didn't he think of me when he was free and easy in Las Vegas?"
Nora's face gradually became cold as she listened to the quarrel on the phone. After adjusting her mood, she whispered: "Patricia, mom will pick you up now, will it take half an hour?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you, mom."
The phone hangs up.
She punched the steering wheel hard: "Fake!!Fake!! This damn world, all tm is raised by bitches!"
After venting, she restrained her grief and anger and drove to her mother's home.
I originally thought I would stay here for a few days and wait until I found a place to stay, but now I can only leave with Patricia.
When the doorbell rang, the woman in her fifties was covered in tears, but she squeezed out a smile: "Nora, come in quickly, I've cleaned up the room..."
"No need, I'll take Patricia away."
"Oh, God, where can you go?"
"You don't want Patricia to watch you and my dear brother all day long, do you?"
"Did you know?" the middle-aged woman was stunned.
Nora smiled bitterly and hugged her mother: "Okay, mom, let's do it. I will find a way myself, but I will definitely not be able to continue to pay for you living expenses recently."
"Patricia." Nora waved to Patricia, who was standing not far away, carrying a small bag.
The little girl ran over and hugged Nora's thigh, weak and helpless.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the middle-aged woman shouted 'Wait' and took out a stack of banknotes from the house: "There is not much money, but at least enough for you to stay in the motel for a while. Don't worry, I still have money. I have left a portion of the money you give every month and didn't tell your brother."
Nora accepted it and finally said, "Take a good look after yourself, if you have something to do... call me."
But she actually knew that even if her mother contacted her in the future, she would be difficult for her to help.
Once credit is lost, it is difficult to accumulate again.
This is why the group of homeless people on the streets of the United States has always remained high; there may be lazy people among them, but more because they cannot find jobs, no one will hire them.
It is even harder for individuals to survive in this society than criminals who have lived in prison.
Drive into the car and walk aimlessly.
Patricia fell into the passenger seat and whispered: "Mom, where are we going? We can't go back to our home anymore, right?"
"Where is Dad?" she added.
Nora wanted to say that he was no longer your father, but he was unwilling to hurt his daughter, and just said, "Your father has gone a long way."
Patricia was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I know that my father made a mistake and had been arrested. I watched the police take him away that day."
"Mom, I know you're sad. Dad hurt you, but Patricia will be with you."
"You..." Nora looked at her daughter incredibly, unable to imagine her precocious maturity.
Patricia said again, "Actually, I knew my father was calling another woman. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I heard him calling and said something very ugly."
Nora finally couldn't help but get angry: "This damn beast!"
Soon after.
The mother and daughter stay in a motel.
After settling down his daughter to watch TV, Nora came out with her cell phone and called the company.
She was once Su's colleague, but she was forced to resign for some reasons in the past two years, and the positions of test pilots were very scarce.
The company hopes to be new employees and deliberately suppress old employees so that they can't make it through and have to leave.
Later, I just worked part-time, mainly to take care of my daughter. If there were no such incident, my life would have been quite successful.
She called her previous part-time company, but the first thing the other party said was: "Nora, we know everything about you. Sorry, we can't continue to cooperate next."
Before Nora could speak, the other party hung up the phone.
She was not surprised, and smiled bitterly and called another employee.
Unfortunately, the other party is full of people and does not need manpower at any time.
The feeling of desperateness made her feel that every inch of air seemed to be under heavy pressure, pressing her body and even her soul.
suddenly.
The phone rang.
She thought it was the personal employer who changed her mind, but after the call was connected, she heard a female voice: "Hey, Nora, how are the matter dealing with it? Are you okay?"
"Su?" Nora felt incredible, took off her phone and confirmed the telephone signal before saying again: "Why did you call?"
In the last interview, she left midway and obviously missed the opportunity.
Now she is in prison, she hopes that a miracle will happen.
Su said: "I just care about you. You helped me when I was not doing well before."
"Oh, damn it, that's just a few hundred knives, and I couldn't help you too much later." Nora said.
Then, she said something like a thorn in her throat.
I was unwilling to say it, but after looking at the direction of the room, I said, "Su, can you lend me some money? I have filed for personal bankruptcy and all my accounts have been frozen. My daughter and I can only live in a motel. I want to set up a smaller apartment first and then start looking for a job."
"I swear, I will find a way to return it to you."
She finished speaking in one breath, her face turned red.
The two of them had not been in contact for some years, and Su introduced her to her job last time, but she did not cherish it.
Now I'm asking to borrow money again...
If she hadn't had a desperate situation, she wouldn't have spoken.
Su gasped.
After hearing this, Nora smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I was abrupt, so... goodbye."
"Hey, wait, I'll lend you money. I just didn't expect your situation to be so bad. In this way, you give me your address and I'll find someone to send you money."
Nora trembled all over and said in surprise: "Really? Oh, damn..."
She covered her mouth, and tears slid down like beads.
"Thank you, thank you, Su, you are my savior. I swear that I will repay you if I get better in the future."
"Okay, Nora, give me the address and I will arrange it."
After saying that, the phone hung up.
...
Mouse Mountain.
Li Qin was about to go upstairs with Retia to rest, but she didn't expect Su to come over in her pajamas.
Opening the door and letting her in, she said straight: "I remembered Nora before going to bed and called her. Her condition was terrible..."
Su told the situation again.
Li Qin smiled.
This is obviously not a gloating, but the current development of the situation is exactly what he needs.
"Give me the address, I will arrange it, you can go and rest."
Su didn't ask much, left a note, and turned around and left.
Retia came over and said curiously: "What happened?"
Li Qin told Retia about what Su told him about.
Retia's expression suddenly became ugly and she said with a gaze: "Li, will you help her, right? After all, she is innocent and has a more innocent daughter."
"Don't worry, I've asked Su to pay attention to her, just to let her come to work in Mouse Mountain."
"Then why not tell her directly?"
"It is better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake... It means that she will be more sincere when she lends a helping hand at a critical moment of life and death. After all, our driver is a position that requires high loyalty."
