In the past few days, she also knew that I had done a good job in the business and sold quickly. Today, she was naturally happy when she saw me selling out all of the wild fungi so early in the morning.
On the way back, as I had been doing for more than six years, I had transferred five hundred dollars to an account and deposited most of the rest into the bank.
I had left so much money because I wanted to add two new sets of clothes to Sachiko's clothes; and as for the account for the money, it was both my responsibility and my grief.
In terms of responsibility, it was because I had been sending money out like this for almost seven years, and the amount of money I sent out every month was increasing year by year. Initially, it was only ten or twenty yuan per month, but now it's usually three or four hundred yuan per month.
Of course, in addition to this, there were two seasons every year, the Spring and Autumn Season. In the past, there would only be two or three hundred yuan each time, but now, it was one or two thousand yuan each time.
It was not easy.
In the past few years, when I was in high school, I used to collect money from eels and loaches while I was studying, or to pick wild chrysanthemums and sell them to the medicine store on the mountain, or to collect cow dung and exchange it with the farmers. Every month, I would accumulate some money and transfer it out every month, and in recent years, I had been working as a home tutor while studying, or helping other people to earn some money from hard laborers such as pulling carts and backpacks, or paying for the hygiene of the school's student dormitories, or writing a few manuscripts to earn money.
Anyway, as long as I could make money, I used almost everything I had.
When he earned this money, besides leaving a small portion for himself, he would also send the rest of it out at a fixed time every month.
It was a kind of grief, but such regular money transfer, especially this fall's money transfer, actually made me lose three close family members forever.
It turned out that at the end of August, according to the rules and requirements, I had to remit 2,200 yuan to that account again.
In fact, if I didn't have to deal with the matter of Yi Jing, or if Zhu Dantong didn't make that mistake to me, or if Zhu Dantong made that mistake to me and didn't fire me, or if Zhu Dantong made that mistake to me and expelled me … but my salary for that month was paid on time, I thought, I had enough money to pay this remittance, and I had plenty of time to pay it.
Unfortunately, everything was just a hypothesis. All of his plans had been ruthlessly messed up.
I have neither the money nor the time.
Knowing that the money was crucial, I finally asked my father for a sum of money.
My father understood me well enough to nod in agreement, almost without asking; and because my money was so tight, it could not have lasted more than five days. My father, who was as good at school as I was, and who had voluntarily given up his studies in order to get me to study, went with me to the hempstone mill to work.
In our mountainous region, only such highly risky jobs could be paid a daily salary, and the pay was relatively high.
That is to say, with the abilities of my father and brother, they can gather this money in four days.
However, on the fourth day, in the afternoon, when the final explosion was about to be completed, something that made my life miserable happened.
Under my father's and my brother's serious injuries, my mother still had to ask someone to send the money out, and finally, she couldn't take it anymore and fell.
