Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

Chapter 117 "Deep Love and Rain"

Although Lu Xinping had been dead for seven years, she had been trapped in the horsewhip until her family fled from the northeast to Shanghai, and she somehow broke free from the shackles of the horsewhip.Although she knew a lot about Yiping, seeing Yiping who was fifteen at that time with her own eyes, she still felt that time was magical.She has always stayed by Yiping's side, watching her temper become more and more sharp, more and more like a hedgehog, watching her protect their cowardly and obedient mother behind her, and she also developed resentment towards her mother.

Not long after they stayed with each other, they were kicked out of Lu's house. She knew that their life was not good, but only after seeing it with her own eyes today did she know how bad it really was.

She really wanted to talk to Yiping, but Yiping couldn't see her, and couldn't hear her voice. She turned her head and begged Tao Shuobai: "Mr. Tao, can you help me? I can't let Yiping go, I want to talk to you." She will say a few words, and it won't take long."

She was amazed at Tao Shuobai's ability, he was clearly a living person, but he was able to hide his body so that people could not see him.

It was the first time for Tao Shuobai to meet such a clean ground binding spirit, this small request was nothing, so he nodded and agreed. "After she sleeps tonight, I'll help you fall into her dream. If you have anything to say, just say it at that time." Then he reminded: "Are you a ghost after all? If they get too close, they will infect them with their aura, at least they will be unlucky and sick, and at worst they will lose their lives."

Lu Xinping was startled, and quickly moved away from Yiping.

Suddenly she thought of something, and said in confusion: "I've been in the Lu family for a long time, they..."

"Of course there will be an impact, but you didn't take the initiative, so you won't be able to see it in the short term. The fate of that family is not good." In other words, the fate of the entire Lu family is not good, partly because of the current situation, and most of it may be related to Lu Xinping's existence was related.

As the head of the Lu family, Lu Zhenhua, as the warlord of the Northeast, did not know how much blood was stained on his hands. It was a military attack, but because he lost a Pingping, he did not know how many women he had harmed. ?The original plot seems to have given him a long life, but all the experiences of his wife and children are also reflected on him. It is a punishment in life, and his sins will not be easily washed away after death.Probably, Fu Wenpei had such an accident that he actually guarded Lu Zhenhua wholeheartedly.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, the Lu family enjoyed the wealth brought by Lu Zhenhua, and being his relatives, they naturally shared the sins, and the severity was different.

After hearing what he said, Lu Xinping bowed her head in silence for a while, but said nothing coldly.

Tao Shuobai noticed something strange, after all, Lu Xinping in the story is the most beloved daughter, and her mind has never been blackened, so she should have a deep relationship with Lu Zhenhua.He was only puzzled for a moment, and then threw it away.

"Mom, I'm going to work." After dinner, Lu Yiping tidied up a little and went out.

Fu Wenpei sent her away to the door and told her to be careful on the way.

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Go to bed early and don't wait for me."

Lu Xinping followed Yiping and saw her coming to the brightly lit bustling street. Although it was her first time seeing the bustling Shanghai, Wang Xueqin would often talk about which shops were on that road, where it was bustling, where new jewelry and new products were released. Clothes, and even the names of some entertainment venues, she has heard of.Now she watched Yiping enter the place where the neon lights flashed, and there was a big signboard on the big glass revolving door—Big Shanghai!

Lu Xinping was a little emotional: "Why did she, Yiping go to work late at night? Why did she come to this kind of place for work? Isn't she in college?"

When she heard that Yiping was working at home, she thought it was a part-time job, but this...

Tao Shuobai briefly explained the cause and effect.

There are several reasons why Lu Yiping came to be a singer. Of course, in the final analysis, it is economic pressure.The mother and daughter don't have any source of income at all, they all rely on living expenses of 20 yuan a month, which is enough for daily expenses, but in addition to eating and dressing, Yiping needs to study, Fu Wenpei needs to take medicine, and she has to pay rent every month.Although the yard where the mother and daughter live is very narrow, the house is not spacious, but the monthly rent is 15 yuan, which is a few yuan more expensive than other shared buildings.Therefore, the main expenditure of the mother and daughter is the rent, and the remaining five yuan is the daily necessities, and the slightly larger expenditure is the medicine that Fu Wenpei takes. Sanmao.

In this way, there can be no accidents at home, otherwise money will be tight.

Although nervous, it's not impossible, but Fu Wenpei secretly helped Lieutenant Li's family.

Lieutenant Li followed Lu Zhenhua back then and saved a lot of money. Even if he couldn't save much money, he still had 50 yuan from Lu Zhenhua when he left the Lu family.It's a pity that Lieutenant Li lost everything in business, and then the child born to his daughter Ke Yun died, and Ke Yun fell into madness.This kind of madness is inherently difficult to cure, and it costs a lot of money. When she fell ill, she always caused troubles, either injuring people or destroying things. No matter how much money the family had, it was not enough to pay for it.Lieutenant Li now earns money by pulling rickshaws, only a few cents a day. His wife Yuzhen doesn't do anything at all. She cooks, washes and does laundry at home. The main thing is to watch Keyun, and the family is struggling.

Originally, Lieutenant Li could have asked Lu Zhenhua for help, but he refused to do so. Firstly, he felt embarrassing where he was now, and secondly, it was related to the reason why he left the Lu family in the first place.He didn't dare to hate Lu Zhenhua, but he also had some resentment. He hated Wang Xueqin very much, but he knew Lu Zhenhua's trust in Wang Xueqin and Wang Xueqin's means. He had no courage and could only bear with it.The family couldn't open the pot, and the creditor came to the door every day, so he came to beg Fu Wenpei. He knew that this eighth aunt was too soft-hearted.

Sure enough, Fu Wenpei was very enthusiastic about Lieutenant Li, who was begging, and always kept secrets.Once or twice, I don’t think that if the number of times is too many, my family’s money will be stretched, especially when Ke Yun’s compensation is really astronomical, and now he is planning to treat Ke Yun’s illness, he dare not ask for much money.

Lu Xinping listened to all this in disbelief, wanted to say something, but finally held back.

She went to Shanghai and listened to Yiping singing on stage.Yiping liked music since she was a child. She played the piano well, sang well, was lively and active, and was good at riding horses.Although Yiping is very happy on stage, Shanghai is a place of entertainment after all, people look down on singers and dancers, no matter how good Yiping sings, it is inevitable that guests will make things difficult for her.

Before Xinping could get angry, someone relieved Yiping.

"He Shuhuan? Ruping's boyfriend!" Xinping was trapped in Lu's house and knew only a few people, so she would remember anyone who had been to Lu's house.He Shuhuan is very special, like a distinguished guest of the Lu family, Wang Xueqin is always talking about this person recently.

Although He Shuhuan relieved Yiping, but in the backstage, Yiping still had to pay the price.

Except for occasional visits, Qin Wuye basically entrusts the management of Greater Shanghai to Qin Feng, so even though Qin Wuye also came tonight for an interview with He Shuhuan, he didn't intervene in this matter.The matter started because of White Rose. At the beginning, Qin Feng was the one who signed the contract, and all other matters were also under Qin Feng's control.

Qin Feng didn't hit Lu Yiping like Qin Wuye in the plot, he just reminded him with a cold expression: "Bai Meigui, you should have not forgotten the content of our contract, have you?"

Lu Yiping's complexion changed, and she said unwillingly: "The guest deliberately made things difficult, so I deserve to be insulted!"

"Insult?" Qin Feng sneered: "Look clearly, this is Shanghai, and you are the singer Bai Meigui here! The guests come here to relax and entertain, even if the words are outrageous, you can ignore them, the manager will deal with them, but You shouldn’t go back with provocations, and what’s reasonable becomes unreasonable. It’s like when you go out to eat in a restaurant and there’s no lamb on the menu, you insist on eating it, and the waiter says, ‘I think you’re Empress Dowager Cixi? Do you like food or not!’ Who do you think is right?”

Lu Yiping lowered her eyes, although she couldn't lose face, she calmed down and knew that she was too impulsive just now.

When she signed the contract, she was informed of the difficulties she might encounter in the future. At that time, she felt that she could handle it, but when she stood on the stage and faced the frivolous words of the guests, she only felt full of anger, and instinctively fought back immediately.

Qin Feng is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense, because White Rose is very popular, and it is the first time, so he will say a few more words, whether he listens or not depends on her.Of course, he was merciless in dealing with it: "According to our contract, you have offended the customer today by mishandling it and caused bad influence, so you will be fined five yuan!"

When the contract was signed, it was stipulated that if Lu Yiping had a conflict with the customer, she would be responsible. The first round would be fined five yuan, the second round would be doubled, the third round would be 20 yuan, and so on.If Tao Shuobai knew about this contract, he would definitely find these methods very familiar.Qin Feng regards the white rose as a cash cow, so of course he will not let her go easily, even if she contradicts the customer, so the chance given is ten times, you know, the tenth round of fines is really huge, a total of 560 yuan!

According to Lu Yiping's salary, she can only earn 400 yuan a year, and she will be fined ten times, and she will have to pay 160 yuan in reverse.

There are accidents in everything, if it is just this clause, of course Lu Yiping will not sign it, so Qin Feng took advantage of her biggest weakness and gave her 200 yuan a month!

When Lu Yiping came to Greater Shanghai, she put forward six or seven conditions. Among them, she asked for a monthly salary of 100 yuan.Although it is 100 yuan, she only sings one song a day, chooses the song herself, prepares her outfit in Shanghai, does not accompany guests or socialize, and only takes about 5 minutes on stage, except for rehearsing new songs every few days, she is very leisurely.In view of this, the current salary level in Shanghai has been slightly adjusted due to rising prices. Workers can get 20 yuan a month, teachers and medical staff who go to school can double it. Journalists like He Shuhuan can get 100 yuan, but their working hours It was long and hard work, that's why Manager Cai couldn't help being dumbfounded by Lu Yiping's conditions.

Qin Feng took the initiative to give her a monthly salary of two hundred, and asked for two songs a night. If a guest insisted on asking her to sing one more song, she would be given another five yuan for the added song, but she would only sing three songs at most every night. .He also proposed that for her safety, a rickshaw was specially chartered to pick her up, and the chartered car fee would be paid in Shanghai.

Money touches people's hearts, even though Lu Yiping is not a greedy person, but she is short of money, very short of money!

Of course, Qin Feng didn't just give benefits, he had an additional clause, the contract was signed for one year, not monthly as Lu Yiping proposed at the beginning.

Lu Yiping was very unwilling, even if she planned to use this year to make money, but she was tied to death by the big Shanghai all of a sudden, which made her very repulsed.Therefore, the negotiation failed at that time, but when she returned home, various difficulties came to her, and she couldn't bear it after all.She reviewed the contract again and again, and after confirming that there were no other problems, she signed it.

This time He Shuhuan's iron teeth and copper teeth were useless, after all, what Qin Feng said was reasonable, and he didn't use violence.

As soon as the matter was over, Qin Feng left.

He Shuhuan immediately went up to care and asked: "Are you okay? You always have to be wronged when you come out to do things, but the environment in a place like Shanghai is too complicated, and you are a girl who is at a disadvantage. If you want, I can help you in the newspaper office. Introduce a job."

Lu Yiping sighed and declined his kindness with a smile: "I can't go, I need money, a lot of money."

Not to mention that the wages of newspaper clerks are very low, even if she has a good job, she can't change jobs now.

He Shuhuan waited for her to take off her make-up and change her clothes, and came out with her, intending to send her home.

When Da Shanghai was arranging a rickshaw, Lu Yiping thought of Adjutant Li, so she gave him the business. The charter fee was ten yuan a month, and it didn't hinder Adjutant Li's work during the day. It was a chance to earn extra money.Yiping made up another ten yuan a month, which was equivalent to an extra 20 yuan a month for Lieutenant Li.

Yiping never paid much attention to money. She earns a lot now, so she saves a part of it and gives it to Fu Wenpei. As for the money given to Adjutant Li, it is actually used for Ke Yun's medical treatment.Anyway, if she doesn't give it, Fu Wenpei will give it too, it's the same.

Yiping didn't want He Shuhuan to see her off, but He Shuhuan didn't leave, and found that her coachman still didn't come, so he called a big carriage and invited her again and again.Yiping has a good impression of He Shuhuan, because this person always helps her when she is ugly and helpless, and he is personable, so it is difficult for a girl to refuse, even if Yiping is covered in thorns.

Lu Xinping looked at the two people on the carriage, and said angrily, "He, how could he treat Yiping like this!"

Lu Xinping, like the Lu family, believed that He Shuhuan was Ruping's boyfriend, and now she came to flirt with Yiping again.Xin Ping, who has always been calm and calm, had evil spirits lingering in her heart, her eyes were slightly red, and the ghostly spirit danced with the wind, gathering quickly.

Tao Shuobai quickly drew a pure heart talisman in the air and slapped it on his back, the yin energy instantly dissipated, and Lu Xinping also came to her senses.

"What's wrong with me?" It was the first time that Lu Xinping had such a situation, but she vaguely realized something, and couldn't help being very scared.

"You had evil thoughts just now." Tao Shuobai saw from this that Yiping was the source of her obsession.

Lu Xinping suddenly had evil thoughts, and He Shuhuan's appearance was just the straw that broke the camel's back.During Yiping's stay at the Lu family, she knew that maybe she was thinking of her relatives, or maybe it was for other reasons. Her worries and resentments were all suppressed and accumulated day by day. Today, not only did she leave the Lu family, but she also learned that she would Will disappear, her mood fluctuates too much, and she meets the "love liar" He Shuhuan, if Tao Shuobai didn't stop her just now, she will definitely turn into a ghost and kill He Shuhuan.

Followed all the way back to Shikumen's residence, at the entrance of the alley, Yiping let He Shuhuan leave.

Lu Xinping watched Yiping humming and walking briskly in the alley, even though she had never experienced feelings, she understood Yiping's happiness at the moment.She had seen this kind of sweetness and happiness on Ruping's face before, but it was the same person who brought this kind of sweetness and happiness.Xinping still likes Ruping more, and Yiping is the younger sister she loves the most, so she hates He Shuhuan even more!

After returning home, Yiping took a shower, took out the diary in the drawer, wrote in the diary, and then went to bed.

Tao Shuobai's method made Xinping fall asleep smoothly.

In her sleep, Yiping saw a road in a trance, she walked along it, and suddenly came to the edge of a forest with fluffy green grass.She felt that this place seemed familiar, and it was strange, why did she come here?

"Drive! Drive!" There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Yiping followed the prestige and saw a figure that survived in her memory: "Xinping..."

The person who rode the horse to the front was indeed the memory center Ping, with a 15-year-old face and a red riding suit, charming and sassy, ​​smiling as if she was still alive.When Xinping just died, Yiping often thought of this sister and dreamed about it, but after so many years, Xinping has become a dusty memory, and she never thought that she would dream of it again.

Yiping felt that she was awake, she knew it was a dream.

"Yiping has grown up so much, she has become a beautiful girl." Xinping wanted to touch her face, but found that she was taller than herself.

Yiping burst out laughing, then burst into tears: "Sister, I miss you so much."

Usually do not mention, do not talk about, does not mean do not miss.

Xinping's eyes got wet, but she held back again, she didn't want to waste the rare reunion.She pulled Yiping to sit down on the grass, and the first thing she said was: "That He Shuhuan, don't associate with him anymore."

Yiping was stunned for a moment, then she was extremely surprised: "Sister, do you know He Shuhuan? Why do you..."

"He's Ruping's boyfriend, but he's so close to you. I think he's not a good character. Don't be fooled by him." Xinping didn't answer her question, but repeatedly told her what she was worried about.

"Is he Ruping's boyfriend?" Yiping was surprised again, but at the same time felt disappointed and angry.

"Yiping, why did you go to Shanghai to sing? You..." Xinping wanted to persuade her, but then thought of how the Lu family treated their mother and daughter, and thought of Yiping's stubborn character, she swallowed her words again go back.

"Sister, I have no choice. I don't want to go to Shanghai, I want to study." No matter how strong Yiping is, she is very weak in her heart. Fu Wenpei is too soft on weekdays. If you want mother and daughter to live well , she must be tough.She always misses when Xinping was alive. Not only did she live a relaxed life, but more importantly, someone always cared about whether she was happy or not. Although her mother also cared about her, there was always something missing.

In reality, she has no one to complain about. She is afraid that her mother will feel guilty and her friends will worry, so she can only talk to her dead sister in her dream.

Xinping's heart was sore and painful, but her tone was a bit cold: "Mom is helping Lieutenant Li's family?"

"Yeah. Lieutenant Li's family is having a hard time, but Keyun is seriously ill, and they really can't do anything about it." Yiping sighed. Why didn't she find it hard, but facing Lieutenant Li's pitiful plea for help, facing She couldn't bear to ignore Keyun's madness.

She wanted to go to the Lu family, but Lieutenant Li refused to agree, so much so that she suspected that Ke Yun's child had something to do with her father.That guesswork was simply horrific.Therefore, her sympathy for Lieutenant Li's family from the beginning was gradually mixed with some guilt. Who told Lu Zhenhua to be her father, and also had an old history of robbing women. The nine concubines in the family said that no one would believe him if he was not flirtatious.

But Lu Xinping snorted coldly: "He is pitiful? He is really pitiful. Could it be that you caused this pity? Back then, he had been a well-known adjutant for so many years. The sum of money, he lost all the money, he has no ability to endure hardship! As for Keyun, she is the daughter of the Li family. Whether she is sick or crazy, it is their parents' responsibility. It is kind of you to help once or twice, why? Can you take other people's burdens on yourself? How are you doing? Lu Zhenhua is really responsible!"

"Sister, sister..." Yiping was completely shocked. Xinping's reprimand came from her heartache, but it was not unreasonable, but later, Xinping called her father by his name.That's not right, Xinping is father's favorite daughter, in memory, their father and daughter have a deep relationship, Xinping likes father very much.

Xinping, on the other hand, didn't vomit. After learning about these things tonight, she felt very painful in her heart.Why should her younger sister suffer? She is also the daughter of the Lu family. She should not worry about food and clothing, and study happily, instead of being a singing girl for money. .

"Yiping, don't worry about the affairs of Lieutenant Li's family. It's retribution for their family to fall into this situation! You forgot how your mother got into the Lu family? Forgot how Aunt Nine got into the Lu family? What about being left behind?" The other aunts and concubines in the Northeast, they were all forced into the Lu family by Lieutenant Li! Even if he was following orders, so what? Dad only showed his intentions, and he immediately went to do it, regardless of whether the other family wants it or not, whether they have engaged in marriage , Relying on the power to plunder everything, there are those who are chaste and strong, and their family members will not end well. How many sins have we committed in the Lu family."

When she was in the Northeast, Yiping was still young, and because of the panic of fleeing, many memories were selectively forgotten.Now that she has grown up, she understands the truth, and can guess some things about her father's past, but as a daughter, why hasn't she admired her father, even if she is stubborn now, and confronts him, isn't she not convinced or reconciled?It's also a daughter, what's wrong with her?Why does father love Ruping Mengping, but forgets that there is her outside?

Hearing Xinping's words now, she is not hesitating to pour a basin of cold water on her head and feet.

"Sister? Are you..." Yiping didn't know what to ask, but felt her heart jumping.

Xinping sighed quietly: "Yiping, it's not easy for you to make money now. Now that there is chaos outside, who knows when the world will be in chaos again. When you earn money, save it yourself, and if you have more, you can exchange it for gold bars. Don't let mom know." " Thinking about it again: "Remember, don't tell Mom how much money you have, and only give it to her every month. You know her temper, you can't count on it, even if you have no money to study, and there is no rice at home, she will But he was thinking of someone else.”

In the past, Yiping always ignored this subconsciously. After all, she and her mother depended on each other for life, and she took it as her responsibility to protect her mother.Now that Xinping pointed it out, she was stunned and her heart ached.

"Sister, it would be great if you didn't die." Yiping burst into tears.

Xinping was in a daze, and murmured, "No, it's impossible not to die."

"Sister, what did you say?" Yiping vaguely heard something, and was about to ask, when suddenly she seemed to be pushed and woke up.

Standing in front of the bed, Fu Wenpei asked her worriedly: "Yiping, why are you crying and shouting again, did you have a nightmare?"

"Mom?" Yiping blinked her eyes, and then she woke up completely, and she immediately said excitedly: "Mom, I dreamed about Xinping, I..."

In the middle of speaking, she paused again. She couldn't tell her mother what she said in the dream. After hearing this, her mother would get angry and not say it, and she would think it was her thoughts.

She thought of Xinping's last murmur, "You can't die if you don't die." Why?Why not die?Didn't Xinping die of tuberculosis?

Yiping felt chills all over and didn't dare to think about it.
