Jin Nan couldn't sleep at night in the lower bunk, and the single woman in the upper bunk also couldn't sleep.

In fact, after the quarrel, she also regretted it, blaming herself for why she couldn't suppress her anger and speak in a good voice.

Jin Nan said that she had changed, and said that she valued money very seriously, and she did not deny it.

To be honest, she doesn't want to change either, she also wants to keep her tsundere, keep her high, but she can't do anything.

My father runs a braised butcher shop in the vegetable market, and my mother works as a tally clerk in a supermarket. Since I was a child, I watched my parents get up early and work hard, and the money they got back was cut off from their daily life, and there was not much left.

And her friends and classmates, some of them are in cars, some are wearing expensive little dresses, and some have been to countries that she has never heard of at all.

She asked her parents why? They sighed, this is fate.

She has a competitive heart, so she doesn't believe in fate. So, I tried my best to study, wanting to break through the "life" in my parents' mouths.

During the winter vacation of her junior year, she and Jin Nan went back to their hometown together, and after making an appointment to return to school, they went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

It was the nineteenth day of the lunar month, and my mother went to work in the supermarket as usual, while she helped my father in the market.

At eight o'clock in the evening, she and her father closed the stall, went home and cooked a meal and waited for her mother.

His mother commuted to work on an electric car, and she usually arrived home at 10 o'clock, but he and his father waited until 30:30 that day, but her mother had not returned, and her mobile phone could not be reached.

At 10:40, my father couldn't sit still and was about to go out to look for it, but he received a call from the hospital that my mother had been in a car accident and had been admitted to the hospital.

She and her father were in a trance and stumbled to the hospital.

The doctor said that the mother was injured in many places, the most serious was the head, and now she is in a deep coma, although there is no danger to her life for the time being, but if she does not operate in time, she may lose her intelligence, mind, will, etc., that is, she will become a vegetative person. The county hospital has limited medical resources, and the doctor recommended that he be sent to a major hospital for treatment immediately.

That night, he was transferred to the city's No. 1 Hospital.

The operation can be done, but the cost of the operation is 300,000.

Looking at her father's pale face, she knew that 300,000 was an astronomical amount for their family.

In the ward, she and her father looked at their mother, whose bed was full of tubes, and their eyes involuntarily turned red several times.

The surgery must be done, but the money is ......

She asked, "Dad, how much money can our family come up with?"

The father sighed, "150,000." ”

150,000, that's still half?

"And what about the rest?" she couldn't help but ask again.

The father lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and finally rubbed his face, smiled bitterly and said, "Borrow, what else can I do besides borrowing?"

My father didn't have any confidence in what he said, everyone knew that money was not so easy to borrow these days.

The next day, my father took out the family's money and paid the bills, and the relatives came in the afternoon.

There are not many relatives in her family, and her grandparents and grandparents have all passed away, leaving only two aunts and an uncle.

The first to come were the two aunts, and after inquiring about their mother's condition, they both began to express their heartfelt comfort and concern for her and her father.

They should believe in science, trust doctors, take care of their health, and not be in a hurry.

It's just that when my father offered to borrow money, his originally caring face stiffened suddenly, and he didn't say a word more.

The room was quiet, and you could really hear a needle dropping.

After a long time, the aunt said, "I'll take 20,000." ”

The eldest uncle is not in good health, not only can he not do any work, but he also takes medicine all year round, so the life of the family is not as good as her family. So, after listening to her aunt's words, she was really moved.

After the aunt finished speaking, there was silence for a while.

"Little sister, can you borrow some from my brother too?" the father pleaded and said to the sister-in-law.

My brother-in-law runs two auto repair shops, and business is good. Looking at the sister-in-law's clothes, you can see that the life of the sister-in-law's family is considered rich.

The sister-in-law pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but first cried out bitterly: "Brother, business has not been good in the past two years, and the income in the store is not enough to pay the workers." Something happened to my sister-in-law, and it is said that I, who is a sister, should also help, but my life is also tight, and I really can't take it. ”

The father endured the unhappiness in his heart, and continued to beg with a smiling face: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how tight you are, you are better than your brother, right? Besides, your brother and I will not open this mouth to you unless we have to." Don't worry, this money was borrowed from you, and my brother will definitely pay it back, and my brother will give you an IOU. ”

"Brother, what are you talking about? You are my own brother, if you open your mouth to me, can I still say no?" The sister-in-law said, "I just think, didn't the doctor say it? Even if the operation is performed, the chance of my sister-in-law waking up is only 60 percent." When the time comes, don't have surgery, but the person still hasn't woken up, isn't the money spent in vain? 300,000 yuan is not a small amount of money. ”

The father's face immediately darkened, but within two seconds, he raised his smile again, and continued to plead: "If the operation is done, your sister-in-law will have a 60% chance of waking up, and if you don't do it, you won't even have a 1% chance." Since there is hope, you have to try it anyway, right? You don't want your sister-in-law to lie motionless on the bed like a dead person in the future, right? Little sister, brother assures you that this money will definitely be repaid by your brother, and my brother will write you an IOU, and my brother will pay you back the interest. Just beg your brother, you can help your brother and help your sister-in-law, right?"

Seeing her father's unrelenting begging, a trace of impatience flashed in the sister-in-law's eyes, and after a while, she reluctantly said: "Okay, okay, brother, don't say it, I'll borrow it, and I'll borrow 20,000 yuan too." ”

The father's face twitched: "Little sister, can you lend me more to my brother? 20,000 yuan is really not enough." ”

"Brother, don't take an inch, 20,000 is already my limit. ”

The father couldn't hold back any longer, and his voice rose several decibels: "Is it that I have to take an inch, or do you have no conscience?" When you opened the second store, you borrowed money from me, and I gave you the money without saying a word. And when you gave birth, Cheng Yang went to other places, and the relationship between you and your mother-in-law was like fire and water, and when no one cared about you, you called us. Your sister-in-law and I didn't say a word, and I took the money and sent you to the hospital, and your sister-in-law even served you in the hospital for seven days and seven nights. All the expenses are paid by us, to say the least, there are more than 10,000 yuan, right? After you were discharged from the hospital, did you mention this stubble? You are my own sister, if you don't mention it, I will not ask for it as an elder brother. But now? Your sister-in-law's life hangs by a thread, and as you just looked, are you worthy of the seven days and seven nights that your sister-in-law served you?"

Cheng Yang is a brother-in-law.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it. The sister-in-law's impatience became even heavier: "How many years of old sesame rotten grain are still taken out and said, is it interesting? It's only 50,000 yuan, whether you like to borrow it or not." As he spoke, he walked out of the ward without looking back.

After the sister-in-law left, the aunt reluctantly comforted her father a few words, and left after a while.

The front foot sent the aunt away, and the back foot uncle and aunt came.

The old trick first said some distressed words to his mother in bed, and then expressed endless concern and comfort to her and her father.

Before withdrawing the money, she believed that it was true that her uncle and aunt were sad. It's just that I don't know how many points of their "truth" are left after mentioning the money.

The father sat on the chair, lowered his head, rubbed his hands, and watched his uncle open his mouth several times, but he wanted to speak again.

She knew that her father was entangled and struggling.

When my father and my two aunts opened their mouths, they didn't have such entanglement, because they were his own sisters after all, and my father had helped them more or less before, although it was difficult to speak, but he still had some confidence.

These two are different.

In terms of relationship, they are just their father's brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and the most important thing is that they don't owe their father's affection, so it's not easy to open.

Seeing that the uncle was leaving, the father couldn't hold it back any longer, grabbed the uncle's arm, squeezed out a sneering smile on his gray face, and said: "Zhiqiang, I made up some of your sister's surgery fees, but it's still almost, look at your ......"

"How much worse?" the uncle didn't hesitate.

"One hundred thousand. ”

"One hundred thousand?" the little aunt screamed.

The father glanced at the little aunt and said to the little uncle: "Zhiqiang, my brother-in-law doesn't want to trouble you, but isn't there really no way." Don't worry, this money was borrowed by my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law will definitely pay it back. ”

The uncle quietly tilted his head to look at the little aunt, and when he saw that the little aunt did not speak, he did not dare to agree easily.

My uncle is notoriously afraid of his wife, and almost all the big and small affairs in the family are decided by my aunt. The little aunt didn't open her mouth, and the little uncle didn't dare to be the master of anything. Especially, when it comes to money.

The brother-in-law gave his father a look, meaning, don't beg me, I can't be the master, you go to my daughter-in-law.

The father understood, let go of the brother-in-law, turned to the aunt, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, brother-in-law knows that you are a kind-hearted person, and you will not watch your sister have a hard time letting go, right? ”

"Brother-in-law, it's not that we don't want to care, it's that you lion has opened your mouth, and we can't afford it. If you borrow 35000, we will definitely have no words, you will be 100,000 in one mouth...... We don't have a bank either, and we can borrow as much as you want? Who's life knows who knows, and we're just barely making ends meet. ”

Barely making ends meet?

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

My uncle's name is also ringing in the county, and there is a plastic processing factory with more than 100 workers in the factory, and the workers who have many orders are idle all year round.

Every day, I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the two of them go out and drive a Daben of more than one million yuan each.

If such a day is said to be barely surviving, then I really don't know what her family's life is.

My father kept begging and begging, but he was smiling and flattering the whole time, and he didn't dare to say a word of seriousness.

She knew why her father was so humble and lowly, because apart from her brother-in-law, her father could not find a second person who could borrow him 100,000 yuan.

The brother-in-law is the father's only hope.

The brother-in-law is also the mother's only hope.

My father said, "I know that 100,000 yuan is not a small amount, and it is reasonable for you to be afraid that I will borrow or not repay." In this way, I will give you the house capital, and if you can't pay the money, you will use the house to pay off the debt, do you think it's okay?"

The little aunt said, "Brother-in-law, don't say that, don't press us on the house or anything, as if we have a fancy for your house." Didn't I say it? It's not that we don't borrow it, it's that we can't take out the amount you want. Since you have the heart to pay off your debts with your house, why don't you just sell your house and you will have money? Why bother us like this?"

"Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, most of the intermediaries are not working. Even if I want to sell the house, I have to wait for the agent to work after the New Year, but your sister's illness can't afford to wait. ”

My father said a good thing about the train, and the mouth of the word was foaming, and the uncle just didn't let go.

Helpless, "Puff" father knelt straight in front of his brother-in-law, choked up: "Zhiqiang, no matter what, the one who is lying on the hospital bed now is also your sister, although you haven't begged us, but our mother died early, and our father is busy with work, you can be regarded as your sister who brought it up, right?

Seeing her father kneeling down for her brother-in-law, she really wanted to pull her father up and scold them.

But she didn't dare, if she really wanted to do that, she was cutting off her mother's last hope.

My father cried, and she cried.

Father knelt, and she knelt too.

She kept kowtowing to her brother-in-law, and begged in a low voice: "Uncle, please, you can save my mother, right? My mother is not an outsider, she is your relative, your relative whose blood is dissolved in water." ”

In this way, under the stubborn entanglement between her and her father, the brother-in-law finally relented.

She and her father were helped up by their brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, don't say anything, I'll pay for the money." ”

What did the little aunt want to say, but the little uncle finally got a man, and threw a cold eye over, and the little aunt reluctantly shut up.

Before leaving, the little aunt said to her father, "You can borrow money, but according to what you said, the house capital will be pressed to us first." ”

The uncle and the others left, and the father leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, and the tears on his face had not yet dried. That decadent look, as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years.

After a long time, my father murmured, "I don't blame others for being cold-hearted, only blame me for being too incompetent." If I have the ability to make money, why can't I even get my wife's life-saving money?"

My father said this as if he were saying it to himself, and as if he was saying it to her.

She didn't speak, but she agreed with her father's statement.

She used to know that money was a good thing, but she didn't have such a big touch.

Without money, even the lives of loved ones cannot be saved.

After the holidays, after returning to school, in order to help her family pay off her debts, she went to "Blues".

In order to earn a few more, she endured the indecent behavior of those men, endured their yellow jokes, and accompanied them to drink until she vomited every night.

I don't know why, even if Jin Nan misunderstood her, she was unwilling to show these in front of Jin Nan.

Probably, when people grow up, the little self-esteem in their hearts also grows up unconsciously.

Colleagues in the bar said all day long: "Women, it's better to marry than to do a good job." Life in a wealthy family may not be so easy, but at least there is money. If you have money, does it matter what else? But if you don't have money, you can't live at all. ”

She believed it.

Since then, she has let go of her arrogance, let go of her high school, and focused on making money, and she also saw the opportunity to fish for a man with quality and status, and live that kind of life.

Shen Chenzhou was her chance, but she didn't expect to have a falling out with Jin Nan.

Both of them had a pimple in their hearts, and the Cold War began.

The next day, Shan Yu secretly followed behind Jin Nan, hoping to meet Shen Chenzhou again, but unfortunately her hope was disappointed.

On the third day, Shen Chenzhou still did not appear.

On the fourth day, there was still no show.

A month has passed, and the man she was looking forward to has never appeared again.

One day Shan Yu fell down the stairs, Jin Nan didn't think about it, rushed over and picked up Shan Yu and ran to the infirmary.

In the infirmary, Shan Yu looked at Jin Nan, who was full of anxiety and sweating, and her heart was hot. She pursed her lips and took Jin Nan's hand.

Jin Nan was stunned for a moment, his dark eyes turned, met the other party's gaze, and shook it back vigorously.

When they saw the faint smile on each other's faces, they knew in their hearts that they were smiling and hating.

They knew that the furious quarrel had left an indelible scar on their friendship.

In the days to come, it is very likely that they will have a disagreement over "money" and tear the healed scar apart again.

But at this moment they were all silent, because none of them wanted to break the peace and beauty of this moment.

In the second half of the semester, they both started their internships.

At the end of the internship, Jin Nan was fortunate to join the "Yuanfeng Group", and Shan Yu also successfully applied for a foreign company.

The days went by like this, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
