Chapter 13 — Took my mother to buy a gold bracelet, the whole family wanted me to pay 76,500 yuan

It's Ly Binh.

“Sister!”

“I beg you…”

“I have a small child in the house…”

“My husband doesn't have a job…”

“I can't lose this job…”

I bowed my head. Look at the hand holding my pant leg. Coldly asked:

“These words.”

“Yesterday when you threatened me.”

“Why don't you say it?”

Her hand immediately loosened. The whole person sat limply on the ground. I don't stop any longer. Push open the coffee shop door and step out. The sunlight outside was bright. I just walked down the steps. A figure suddenly rushed forward. Kneel down in front of me again. She is even more pathetic than yesterday. Hair as messy as potholes. Eyes as puffy as two walnuts. His face was full of dried tears. Wrinkled clothes. The whole person was emaciated. She grabbed the corner of my shirt tightly. The voice was hoarse.

"Niece!"

“I beg you!”

“My cousin was fired from the agency!”

“The future daughter-in-law also wants to break up!”

“Your uncle scolded me all night!”

“Can you delete the online post?”

“Don't you dare anymore!”

“I really don't dare anymore!”

I bowed my head to look at her. Yesterday's scene flashed in my mind. She sat in the middle of the shopping center floor, gossiping. Point your finger at me. Scolded me for being unfilial. She raised her head. Only begging remained in his eyes.

“Yesterday when I forced you to pay 76,500 yuan.”

“Have you ever thought about today?”

Her whole body immediately stiffened. Can't say a word. I gently pulled back the corner of my shirt. Take a step back.

“I never thought it would cause your son to lose his job.”

“Never thought it would make her shunned by everyone.”

“But when you forced me.”

“You never thought…”

“That you will protest.”

The eldest girl knelt on the ground. Mouth opens and closes. For half a day, I couldn't utter a single word. I didn't look at her again. Turn around and walk towards the taxi along the road. Close the door. The driver looked through the rearview mirror. Look at the eldest girl still kneeling out there. Then looked at me again. Want to say something. But in the end did not say. The car slowly rolled. In the rearview mirror. Her figure became smaller and smaller day by day. In the end there was just a faint black dot. The phone suddenly vibrated. It's mom's WeChat message.

“Girl, when will you come back for dinner?”

“Mom stewed the ribs for you.”

Look at that text. My nose suddenly stings. Outside the car door. Bright sunlight. Warmth covers the body. One week later. I stood in front of the jewelry store in that shopping center again. It's still the same place. It's still the same store. Only thing. The photo of the manager with an arrogant expression that used to hang in front of the door... Has been taken down a long time ago. The newly replaced employee is still very young. Looks a bit tense and reserved. As soon as they saw a guest entering the door, they immediately bowed seriously. Right at the most visible location in front of the store. An A3-sized public apology letter was neatly pasted. Signed below is the corporation. The title is so prominent that anyone passing by can see it:

“Public Apology Letter for Store Employees' Violations of Regulations.”

Passersby stopped to read for a few seconds. Many people conveniently took out their phones to take photos. My mother held my hand. Ask in a low voice:

“Or... should we go to another store to buy it?”

“No need.”

I pushed the door and walked in. Cold air from the air conditioner immediately rushed in. The new salesperson quickly approached. A perfect face completely strange. About twenty years old. The smile is both polite and careful.

“Hello, sister.”

“What do you want to see?”

“See the golden ring.”

I pointed to my mother.

“Choose a nicer one for my mother than last time.”

“A little higher price is okay.”

The employee's eyes lit up. But immediately retracted. Don't dare show your excitement. Hastily led us to the counter. Take each sample out one by one for mom to try. This time, mom no longer chose the simplest model. She tried a bracelet weighing 36 grams. The patterns are carved very delicately. Wear on wrist. Then hold it up under the light and look again and again. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Immediately decided.

“Take this.”

The salesperson was stunned. Softly remind:

“The cost of making this one is a bit high.”

“After the discount, it's still more than 13,000 yuan.”

“Take this.”

Mom was about to speak up to stop him. I gently placed my hand on her hand. The staff did not dare to say more. Quickly make invoices and pack. After payment is completed. We walked out of the store. Mom bowed her head and caressed the new bracelet on her wrist. Eye rims are red.

“Why are you crying, mom?”

“Mom didn't cry.”
