Chapter 67: Selling Children
told his adoptive parents the secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and Wang Guizhi couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. She thought that her biological parents were doing this to her, and she was even more worried. She hadn't slept all night.
When I got up the next day, Wang Guizhi had two obvious dark circles on her face, and Fan Xiuman saw it and couldn't help feeling distressed: "Ouch, you didn't sleep well, do you want to go back to sleep for a while?"
Wang Guizhi shook her head, although she knew that Fan Xiuman was for her own good: "No, Mom, I'm fine, I don't have to go to sleep." ”
She can't sleep anyway, so it's better to get up and find something to do.
Fan Xiuman stared at her for a few seconds, shook his head again, and sighed: "Alas, you kid is really sensible, it's better not to be tired of yourself." ”
Neither tacitly did not mention it. Wang Guizhi didn't want to think about this painful thing, but Fan Xiuman didn't say it in order to take care of her face.
"By the way, have you spent all your summer here?" asked Fan Xiuman.
"Well, yes," Wang Guizhi nodded, a forced smile on her face, "Then I'll go back to the room first." ”
Wang Guizhi spent this summer with her adoptive parents, and every day was very relaxed.
She got up in the morning and finished breakfast, so she helped Fan Xiuman tidy up the house, cut weeds or something, the land planted in the winter vacation before, it can be seen that Li Haoqiang and Fan Xiuman have taken good care of it, and the crops in it are growing amazingly.
Then in the afternoon, I usually write in the house, and the romance I wrote before was unexpected, and the response was beyond the expectations of Editor Chen, which was very popular with readers, and there were really a lot of people urging changes, and most of the readers who sent the letter were discussing the plot, and Editor Chen also called her to tell her to write more. However, Wang Guizhi has nothing to do during the summer vacation, and has a lot of free time. She doesn't have the procrastination that other authors have, and the updates are twice as many as before, Editor Chen saw this author who was so worry-free, thinking about the previous authors who often delayed the manuscript, either saying that they had lung cancer or that they had died and that their aunt and aunt were going back to the funeral, I just felt that I hadn't been so laborious for a long time.
After Wang Guizhi finished dinner in the evening, he would go back to his room to write a letter to Li Yongchang, reporting his daily life, and sometimes thinking about his best friend Lin Yanmei, and would write his thoughts about her into his diary.
Her summer vacation days were also dull and happy.
However, such a dull day was followed by a violent storm.
There are unforeseen circumstances, and it didn't take long for this good day to happen, and there was a problem at Deng Lingchun's home.
On this day, Deng Lingchun was about to go out to visit the neighborhood after eating, but at this time the family received a phone call.
Her husband Li Zhiye answered the phone and said that he was looking for Deng Lingchun, so he stopped Deng Lingchun, who was about to go out: "Daughter-in-law, this call is for you, come and answer it." ”
Deng Lingchun frowned, and she said impatiently: "Who is this, I'm about to go out to play, maybe it's a scam call." ”
Deng Lingchun said so, but still turned around and came back to answer the phone.
It's just that after she answered the phone, her expression changed from her previous disdain to solemnity.
Li Zhiye looked at the stiff expression on her face and asked curiously, "Daughter-in-law, what's going on?" ”
Deng Lingchun frowned, her expression was solemn, she sighed and said, "My brother-in-law has cancer, it seems to be some kind of liver cancer, and now he asks us to borrow money." ”
"Liver cancer? early or advanced?" Li Zhiye listened, knowing that this matter was very serious, and hurriedly asked.
"Late, the hospital said it was late," Deng Lingchun was a little anxious, after all, it was her relative, "The child's father, what do you say." ”
Li Zhiye originally thought that he could borrow a little bit, but when he heard the words "terminal cancer", he hesitated.
"Child's father, don't we still have some savings to buy a house for our children in the future? Now take it out to solve this urgent need, no matter what, this brother-in-law also watched me grow up." But Deng Lingchun didn't notice her husband's strangeness at all, and continued to say to herself, "Is this money enough, or let's take out a little more......"
"the kid," Li Zhiye hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to speak, "Do you want to stop thinking about this?"
"What do you think about this? This is my brother-in-law!" Deng Lingchun was not happy on the spot, "Why are you so selfish, don't you want to take out the money?"
"No, the child, don't be so excited," Li Zhiye saw that Deng Lingchun was going to make trouble, and he was also afraid, so he hurriedly persuaded, "I didn't mean that." ”
"What doesn't mean that, I think you just don't want to take money!" Deng Lingchun was already completely unreasonable, she stood up with a "rub", pointed at Li Zhiye's nose and scolded, "Do you know how good my brother-in-law is to me? Now that people are sick and ask you for money, you don't give it, you really don't have any ability! How can others make money so much, but you can't earn it? Do you have any interest!"
Deng Lingchun didn't think that she had caused a lot of trouble, and it was Li Zhiye who helped her wipe her ass, and Li Zhiye also wasted a lot in his career.
"the kid, listen to me," Li Zhiye was anxious, after all, no man could bear to be scolded by his daughter-in-law for having no ability and no interest, "Listen to me, your brother-in-law is in the late stage! Do you know what it means when he is in the late stage? This can't be saved, and the hospital can't save it! The gods can't save it, you can borrow this money, can you pay it back?"
Li Zhiye originally wanted to borrow money, but he also knew that the terminal cancer was not saved, and spending money was only a while at most.
Deng Lingchun saw that her husband disagreed, in fact, she also felt sorry for her money, but soon, she thought of a way. She said to Li Zhiye: "Otherwise, let's go and ask Li Haoqiang to borrow money from his family, his family is very rich, and he will definitely be willing to lend it to us." ”
Deng Lingchun also thought that Li Zhiye was distressed about the money and didn't want to lend it, so he asked him to borrow Li Haoqiang's money, so that his family's money could be saved.
"Borrow money from Haoqiang's family?" Li Zhiye frowned and asked.
"Yes, their family has money, and they are definitely willing to borrow it. Deng Lingchun didn't notice anything wrong with Li Zhiye's words.
"Are you embarrassed?" Li Zhiye saw that Deng Lingchun was still not enlightened, and he became angry, and scolded directly, "What did you scold their daughter last time?
Li Zhiye remembered the last time he made trouble in their house, he was very embarrassed, and his brother's relationship for many years was almost ruined by this colorless daughter-in-law.
"Otherwise," Deng Lingchun also understood the meaning of Li Zhiye's words, and she came up with another idea, "Otherwise, Haoqiang and their family don't have any children of their own, what should we do if this family has no bloodline to pass on?" We will pass on our second son Li Long to them, so that their family can be regarded as having the blood of the Li family to pass on, and they can be regarded as having children, and they will definitely lend us money when the time comes." ”
Deng Lingchun doesn't know how to use his brains to do other things, but this bad idea comes up faster than the other.
"How can this work? This is our own child, how can we let them recognize someone else as a father?" Li Zhiye was not happy, and retorted on the spot, "Isn't this selling children? Do you have a good conscience?"
"Oh, what's this, we don't lose anything," Deng Lingchun hurriedly replied, "These two children are both old and sensible, of course they know who their biological father is, do you think Li Long will forget you?"
Li Zhiye sighed, he knew that his daughter-in-law was thinking about something every day, he didn't speak again, and felt that it was not interesting to continue.
And Deng Lingchun took Li Zhiye's silence as agreeing, and she was happy immediately: "Now if we exchange Long Long, we can get a lot of money." ”
However, what they didn't expect was that Li Long and Li Song happened to be outside the door and heard what they had just said clearly.
Li Song naturally wouldn't let his younger brother go to someone else's house, but now seeing that his parents are going to send his younger brother out, he can only go to someone else's house to hide first.
Li Song thought of his uncle Li Haoqiang, at least Li Haoqiang and Fan Xiuman were very good to him.
"Brother, go with my brother, let's go to my uncle's house, I won't let you leave us. After speaking, Li Song took Li Long's hand and ran all the way to Li Haoqiang's house.
"Hey, why are you here?" Wang Guizhi just wanted to go out for a walk, but saw the two children coming over, and they looked panicked.
"Sister, I have something to tell you. Li Song held Li Long's hand tightly, for fear that his younger brother would not be seen.
Wang Guizhi looked at him with a serious look, and asked Fan Xiuman and Li Haoqiang to come over.
"Uncle, aunt, my mother is going to sell my brother Li Long to you. Li Song saw that they were all coming, and said everything concisely.
"Wow-" As soon as Li Long heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying.
"Don't cry, Long Long," Li Song saw that his younger brother was afraid of this, so he hugged him and coaxed, "Uncle and aunt will definitely not let you be sold, they are fine, don't cry, don't cry." ”
Wang Guizhi saw that they were in a good relationship, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, the uncle and aunt here won't let you have anything." ”
She said to Li Song again: "You are a good brother, you must protect your brother and don't let him sell it to others." ”
Wang Guizhi also thought of being sold by her mother in her previous life, and she was deeply touched.
And it didn't take long for Deng Lingchun to come to Li Haoqiang's house, ready to tell them about the succession.
"Open the door, Li Haoqiang!" Deng Lingchun shouted.
Wang Guizhi heard the voice, and at the suggestion of Li Haoqiang and Fan Xiuman, she hurriedly took the brothers into her room and hid them, and she didn't want to get involved in this matter.
The three of them hid in the room, listening to the quarrel outside, and did not dare to say a word.
