The old woman who was picking up rags inside the "Chao Ming Plaza" was in a very bad mood at the moment, when she saw Jiang Xun walking by she wanted to call out to him and say a few words, but Jiang Xun walked past without even looking at her as if he didn't know her, her eyes were moist with a kind of heart-breaking grief, she found a bench for customers to rest and sat down, wiping the tears from her eyes with a worn towel. She sat down and wiped her eyes full of tears with a worn towel.

Her name is Li Guilan, Xia Xin's mother, four years ago, her daughter in front of their own road by a white sports car took the life of 26 years old.

She remembers that night her daughter received a call from her boyfriend Jiang Xun, dressed up for a long time and ran out of the house with excitement, but she never thought that her daughter would never come back from this trip.

When the criminal police notified her daughter in the city hospital when she did not believe, but when she and her partner rushed to the hospital daughter has died, my partner then fainted on the ground. The criminal police explained to her daughter was killed in a car accident, she was instantly anxious, she grabbed Jiang Xun squatting on the side of the blame, why would you want to run over Xia Xin? Jiang Xun let her grab without a trace of resistance. The criminal police pulled her away and told her that Jiang Xun was not the one who killed Xia Xin, and that the perpetrator had been taken into custody. Jiang Xun cried out in pain.

The owner of "Famous Cars", also a famous test driver, he is the perpetrator of the accident, he claimed that a beam of light across the street shook his eyes and did not find Xia Xin crossing the street in time, which caused the accident, after the traffic department investigation did not find any suspicion of intentional murder, the test driver in custody for half a month to the traffic collision, the test driver dealt with, and the police paid Xia Xin 1,000 dollars. The test driver paid Xia Xin 1 million dollars.

Xia Xin's father was devastated by his daughter's death and left the world six months later, leaving Li Guilan to live alone.

She did not want to spend her daughter's death in exchange for money, every day along the street to pick up rags to make ends meet, but she always has a mystery in mind, that is, Jiang Xun said Xia Xin was hit when the opposite side of the road is still standing a man, Xia Xin is in order to meet with that man before the tragedy, and Jiang Xun drove back to the flowers to give to Xia Xin, the opposite side of the road, in the end, who is that man? Who is the man across the street? And what is his relationship with his daughter? Li Guilan's heart pressed this big stone.

Interpol also stood on the opposite side of the road to investigate the man, but never results, the beginning of the Interpol also doubt whether there really is such a person, but in the accident sports car surveillance video camera really found the roadside there is a silhouette, but it is too fuzzy can not be confirmed that the person's complete image, limited to the man with the accident is not intrinsically linked to not in-depth investigation. But that man has become a shadow that can never be erased from Li Guilan's heart.

You are Auntie Li, right? A young man in a gray jacket came to Li Guilan's side and bent down to ask.

Li Guilan woke up from deep thought, she looked at the young man doubtfully: are you asking me?

The young man was very kind: Yes, I am looking for you, I am the customer service department of Chao Ming Plaza, today is the day of our shopping mall's store celebration, our boss asked us to do some good deeds, you are our regular customers here, and many times I saw you pick up the waste paper and bottles left by the customers, and also wipe the sewage on the floor dry, so we would like to give you a reward of 500 yuan, I hope that you do not think it's too little.

Li Guilan looked at him with a surprised look for a long time: only for me?

No, there are a few more, I'll go and send it to them, please accept it first.

Li Guilan took the five banknotes from the young man with trembling hands, she bent down and bowed deeply to him, the young man held him up in a hurry and helped her to sit down on the bench, then thought for a moment: Auntie Li, how old are you?

I am exactly 60 years old.

Are you retired? How much pension do you have per month?

Li Guilan sighed: There is no pension, I do not have a job, I used to rely on the old man's salary, the old man died, I have no source of livelihood.

Auntie Li, if there is a cleaning job, would you like to do it?

Li Guilan slowly stood up and grabbed the young man's hand, a little excited: you want to find me a job? I'm willing to clean toilets, not to mention cleaning.

The young man helped Li Guilan to sit on the stool again, and he sat down next to her: I can talk to our leader, if he agrees to come to work, how can I earn 1,000 or 800 yuan a month, Auntie Li, will you still be here tomorrow?

Auntie Li, will you be here tomorrow?

Auntie Li, don't tell anyone about this, wait for me to give you news tomorrow.

Li Guilan nodded repeatedly: Thank you, young man, I thank.

The young man waved his hand at her and left.

Li Guilan sat on the stool excited tears flowed down, since her daughter died in a car accident, followed by her partner also left, she had no one to rely on, all by picking up rags in the shopping mall life, suffered a lot of hardship and suffering, I did not expect to meet a good man tonight, not only to give 500 yuan to give her a job, it feels like the sky fell down a piece of meat pie, surprise and happiness.

Li Guilan's conversation with the young man was watched by another person in the corner, who was dressed in rags and looked more like a beggar, he was the fool.

Li Guilan twisted her face when she inadvertently saw the fool, she waved her hand at him, the fool obediently and immediately came to Li Guilan, Li Guilan told him to sit down, the fool complied, Li Guilan took out a plastic bag from her big bag and handed it to the fool, which contained a dozen buns, the fool looked at the buns and then at Li Guilan, and pointed his finger at his mouth.

Li Guilan: Eat, see you hungry this behavior, eat quickly, eat enough to go out and find a place to sleep.

Twelve buns fool ate all in one gulp, and then he looked at a water bottle in Li Guilan's big bag and grunted twice, Li Guilan smiled and took out the water bottle and handed it to him.

Fool, what's your last name, do you know?

The fool stammered out two words: surname Liu.

Where is your home?

Home, home is in Luan City.

Where are your parents?

The fool pointed to the ground: in the bottom of it.

Hey! Are gone, poor enough, where do you live under the black ah?

The fool pointed inside again: right there.

Li Guilan almost dropped tears, thinking that this is also a bitter person: you ah, indeed stupid point, but can know hunger and thirst on the line, drink, drink and go to bed.

The fool drank the water in the bottle, then stood up and staggered away.

Li Guilan looked at him out of the shopping mall door, a smile of relief appeared on her face. When the fool walked away she thought of herself, her partner died, her daughter died, and now she is left alone.

She was alone, no source of livelihood, by picking up garbage for a living, could not help but a burst of heartache, tears could not control down, long sigh: this God ah, how is so unfair, so that those bad people eat well dressed well, poor me ah, do not know what sins of the last life to such a point, how to live next ah.

Li Guilan packed up her belongings, stood up and walked out of the shopping mall.
