Zhong Yu rubbed Liang Zhen's shoulder, "The medicine is expensive?"

"The medicine is fine, but my brother doesn't have medical insurance, so the medicine must be taken care of by himself, the expensive is the needle, I remember that at that time, a shot was 400, once a week, do you say it is expensive?"

Liang Zhen smiled to himself after asking, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask you this question, four hundred may not be enough for you to eat, but it is already a huge amount of money for me and my brother." ”

Being sick means losing your source of income, and you have to see a doctor, take medicine and get injections.

"My brother saved a little money before, but it ran out quickly, and the workers around him were also borrowed by me, and everyone had a hard time, so my brother stopped taking injections for a while, but you know this disease, once you stop the medicine and the injections, the patient will become very painful. ”

Liang Zhen remembered that time, from the second year of high school to the third year of high school, the peers around him devoted their time and energy to studying, thinking about how to find famous teachers outside the school to tutor, how to work hard, and even a little farther has begun to plan which city to go to university in the future, what major to study, and which path to take in the future, but Liang Zhen is facing a seriously ill brother, high medical expenses, running between the rental house and the hospital all day long, and thinking about how much money is still in the pocket, who else can borrow around, and whether the little money is reserved for his brother to buy medicine or let him take more oxygen。

Buying medicine can prolong life, and oxygen can temporarily make him feel a little more comfortable.

"Pneumoconiosis is called breathing pain on the Internet, because in the later stage, severe cough, chest pain, not to mention self-care, even if you lie there, it is difficult to breathe. ”

This is a disease that will eventually suffocate to death.

"Before the summer vacation of my sophomore year and junior year of high school, my brother's situation was not to the point where he couldn't get out of bed, and I heard that people could wash his lungs, and the cost of a lung wash was about 5,000 to 8,000 yuan, plus hospitalization fees, etc., almost 10,000 yuan, which was all the savings I had with my brother. ”

"You washed him?"

"Hmm. ”

"How's it going?"

"At that time, it was okay, I was discharged from the hospital to recuperate, I remember at that time..."Liang Zhen thought for a while, "At that time, I still had a total of 723 yuan and four corners left on me, and after paying 400 rent, there were more than 300 left, and there were more than a dozen IOUs, which were all the belongings of me and my brother." ”

Zhong Yu had never experienced this kind of despair, but he could imagine it.

"Do you know that there is an old saying in our hometown, the poor are not qualified to study, and they are not qualified to get sick, and I am unfortunate that they have both, so after my brother is discharged from the hospital, I don't plan to study anymore, and I can't study anymore, someone has to make money to make a living. Of course, I had to hide this from him, I lied to him that he had tutoring during the summer vacation, but in fact, I secretly found a job outside, which should be regarded as the first job in my life. ”

Zhong Yu was curious: "What kind of work?"

Liang Zhen suddenly stopped, looked up at him, "Nanny." ”

"Babysitter?"

"Yes, babysitter. ”

Zhong Yu was stunned, thinking of the scene when he first met her five years ago, "Did Zhong Ying hire you?"

Sometimes fate is like this, in fact, the trajectory has been drawn for you at the beginning.

Liang Zhen seemed to be telling a story from a long time ago, snuggling in Zhong Yu's arms, his voice soft and thin.

She lacked a life secretary at the time, who was responsible for handling chores for her, laundry, ironing, and cleaning up the house, and of course, there would be some simple errands, such as going to the dry cleaners to help her get a piece of clothing, or going to a brand to get a sample of the things she had ordered before, in fact, to put it bluntly, she was a nanny, and then I met Tang Yaosen indirectly. ”

It turns out that life is really a ring.

"Do you want to keep listening?" she asked.

The man behind her rubbed the top of her hair again, "Listen!"

He wanted to hear how they met, knew each other, attracted each other, and how they broke through the relationship between the employer and the nanny step by step, and finally came together.

Liang Zhen lowered his head and thought for a while, "Actually, it's really a cheesy story, which can be summarized simply as a desperate female student meets a rich and powerful boss." ”

Zhong Yu: "The princess and the knight in distress?"

Liang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Princess, have you ever seen a princess who went to be a nanny? I think I was more like duckweed at that time, I didn't know what would happen tomorrow today, and it didn't matter where I floated." ”

But just when she was struggling and desperate, Tang Yaosen appeared.

"He accidentally found out why I was going to drop out of school and talked to me about it. ”

"Talking to you? He's only seen you a few times, so he's talking to you, obviously he wants to soak you!"

Yes, no one would believe that Tang Yaosen contacted Liang Zhen just to understand her life difficulties, and even she didn't believe Liang Zhen herself at that time.

An adult man, who is still the male host and employer, suddenly shows concern beyond his identity for a girl who is a nanny, and everyone will think about it.

"I thought he might have a purpose, but then I realized that my mind was too dirty. Liang Zhen had to clarify this for Tang Yaosen, "He really just wanted to help me at first. ”

"And then slowly found out that this little nanny is simple-minded and easy to push down?"

"Of course not!" Liang Zhen could understand Zhong Yu's prejudice against him, but this was really not the case, "Although no one may believe it when he says it, I have always been very disciplined with him at the beginning! Of course ......" Liang Zhen paused and said, " The relationship between men and women is sometimes very strange, coupled with the coincidence, I only know that the relationship between him and Zhong Ying has been very stiff during that time, and they will almost quarrel when they meet, Zhong Ying always feels that he has a woman outside, stalking, secretly filming, looking for someone to retrieve his communication records and phone books, and do everything. ”

Zhong Yu sneered when he heard this, "This really seems to be something that Zhong Ying can do, she is suspicious by nature, and she is prone to extremes." ”

Liang Zhen: "So in fact, before I went to work there, he and Zhong Ying had already separated, but outsiders didn't know about it." ”

After exposing the extramarital affair between her and Tang Yaosen, all public opinion reprimanded her for seducing a married man and destroying other people's families, but she didn't know that the relationship between Zhong Ying and Tang Yaosen had already cracked.

If their marriage eventually comes to an end, she can only be regarded as the fuse, but not the root cause.

Of course, these are all later words, not to mention that no one will believe such an explanation.

Didn't I sing it in the lyrics, love is a superstition at the right time and place, I think this sentence is just right for me back then. ”

She met Tang Yaosen in the most difficult time, sheltered her from the wind and rain, built bridges and paved roads, Liang Bo's medical expenses, surgery fees, including the debts she owed before, were not a problem to him.

"At first, I struggled and didn't want to accept his favor, because I knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, but everyone had a fluke mentality, do you know when I started to waver? ”

Sometimes Liang Zhen feels that life is like a game, where the levels are set up, whether he gritted his teeth and crawled over, or someone took him around, the process is completely different.

"I remember seven or eight years ago, a domestic home ventilator was about 6,000 yuan, I tried to buy one several times, I wanted to let my brother live a more comfortable life, but my brother has not been willing, Tang Yaosen knew about this situation, did not tell me in advance, ordered a set and directly called someone to send it to home, Decheng brand, non-invasive, at that time there was no model on the domestic market for sale, the price should be about five figures, of course, I know that the money is just a piece of clothing and a few meals for him, but it can't be for me...... I...... I don't want to say I'm doing it for my brother, but when I saw him put on a ventilator and finally be able to lie down and sleep peacefully for hours, I felt that it was worth doing anything. ”

All the labels that were put on her, the junior, the vixen, the third party who was greedy for vanity, she recognized them all and never defended them, but she knew in her heart that in the face of fate, she had never had room to struggle.

"Money is a good thing, I understood this truth when I was very young, but after my brother's illness, I have a deeper understanding of this sentence, it can not only bring material enjoyment, but also buy time, buy oxygen, buy dignity, buy life. ”

People who have never experienced despair will always talk about the "bottom line" and "morality", which shows that people who have experienced hell are different.

"Maybe it's fate, it's fate that something will happen to me and him, and after that ventilator, the two of us are a little closer, I don't know if he has a purpose, but I admit, I compromised. ”

Since then, Liang Zhen has slowly accepted Tang Yaosen's care, including his favors, money, and other gifts.

"In the winter of my third year of high school, before the Spring Festival, my brother's condition suddenly worsened, and the diagnosis had reached stage 3 after a re-examination. ”

The death sentence for pneumoconiosis patients was handed down in the third stage, and the rest was only a matter of time.

"But I was not reconciled, I couldn't watch my brother wait for death, so I went to Tang Yaosen, he contacted a pulmonologist for consultation, and the result of the discussion was that there was one last way to fight - double lung transplantation. ”

Zhong Yu closed his eyes and scratched the socket of his teeth.

In fact, the trajectories of him and Tang Yaosen in Liang Zhen's life overlapped, and he already knew Liang Zhen when Tang Yaosen was running for Liang Bo, but what was he doing at that time?

"The expert told me in detail about the surgical process, including postoperative recovery and complications, which is actually a matter of both risk and hope, and doing it may have hope for a cure or hasten death. ”

"Then did you end up doing it for your brother?"

Liang Zhen suddenly laughed, "It's done." ”

"The result?"

"The result?"

Zhong Yu immediately changed his words: "I'm sorry!"

The result has actually come out, Liang Bo died in the year she graduated from high school, and according to the timeline, it should be after the operation.

"Actually, I was hesitant at first, but in the end it was my brother who made up my mind. Liang Zhen's voice trembled, "Spring Festival, at the beginning of the new year, my brother committed suicide by cutting his pulse while I was going out." ”

Zhong Yu didn't know these things, and he couldn't figure it out, "Why?"

"Because it's too painful, no, it's more painful than pain, do you know what it's like to have advanced pneumoconiosis, fibrosis of the lungs, respiratory failure, and the lungs will eventually be hard as stones, but the patient will not die immediately. ”

Liang Zhen leaned on Zhong Yu's arms and uncovered the past that he had been reluctant to recall many years ago.

"In the winter of my junior year of high school, my brother's lung disease was already very serious, coughing non-stop, it was difficult to eat, severe pain in the chest, the most painful thing was breathing, I couldn't sleep all night, I couldn't lie down, I could only kneel there, you know, many pneumoconiosis patients kneel to death. ”

Liang Zhen's voice began to tremble violently, and Zhong Yu raised his hand to rub her back, "Don't say it." ”

She shook her head, "You've got to let me finish." ”

After so many years, she told people about it once.

"My brother got this disease because I was going to provide for me to study, and even if he died, I couldn't let him die so painfully, so even if there was only one percent hope, I had to try. ”

Liang Zhen finally agreed to the surgery.

"At that time, the domestic double lung transplant was not particularly mature, Tang Yaosen found experts from abroad, contacted the hospital as quickly as possible, formulated a medical plan, and determined the lung donor, and prepared for more than two months, that is, in those two months, I had a relationship with him. ”

In fact, everything fell into place.

Liang Zhen didn't want to flaunt that she was for her relatives, she admitted that she liked Tang Yaosen, appeared by her side in those years, and supported her for half the sky, and anyone would be moved.

"Over the years, I've always wondered if I would ever come together with him if I had to choose again, and the answer was...... Because a person is too hard, life is hard, and he is my shortcut!"

No one doesn't want to take shortcuts, let alone a person as good as Tang Yaosen, so many things are really doomed, destined for her to jump into this whirlpool.

"The time of the operation was determined to be in June, that is, after the end of the college entrance examination, but unfortunately, not long before the operation, my relationship with Tang Yaosen was discovered by Zhong Ying, and she asked me out to meet in his name without telling Tang Yaosen, room 8616 of Tianyue. ”

Zhong Yu's heart twitched when he heard the name of the hotel, and he subconsciously tightened the person in his arms.

Liang Zhen adjusted his breathing, "You should know the rest of the matter, Tang Yaosen didn't come that day, it was you who came, I don't know what kind of mentality and purpose Zhong Ying was at that time, but the final result was..."

The final result was that Zhong Yu forcibly had a relationship with Liang Zhen because of his alcohol, and a video was sent to Liang Zhen a few days later.

"Zhong Ying talked to me, and she used that video to ask me to leave Tang Yaosen, otherwise the video would be exposed, and I compromised, or in fact, I couldn't face Tang Yaosen anymore. ”

Regardless of whether Liang Zhen had feelings for Zhong Yu at the beginning, the fact is that she had a relationship with another man, and she had betrayed Tang Yaosen physically, and she was also filmed on video.

"But at that time, my brother's surgery was imminent, and the hospital demanded payment. ”

"And then you take that video and go to my dad to negotiate terms?"

"No, it wasn't at first. Liang Zhen later clarified the middle thoughts, "If I want to talk to your father about the conditions, it is better to talk to you directly, it should be Zhong Ying, she bribed Liang Guocai, and asked Liang Guocai to take the video to the police station to report the case, and sue you for being a female worker." ”

"Liang Guocai, your father?"

Zhong Yu didn't expect that there would be this episode in the middle at all, "Your father went to the police station to report the case, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Liang Zhen: "Is there a difference?"

Zhong Yu: "Of course there is a difference, I always thought that you reported the case, and the purpose was to 'blackmail' the Zhong family." ”

Liang Zhen smiled bitterly: "So there is still no difference, because I later talked to your father about the conditions, and the purpose was indeed to make money." ”

Back then, Liang Guocai took the video given by Zhong Ying to the police bureau to report the case, and when the hospital demanded money, Liang Zhen couldn't argue, she could no longer accept Tang Yaosen's funding, so she might as well choose to calculate it, so she took the video and took the initiative to find Zhong Shoucheng.

"You asked my dad for 600,000 yuan to operate on your brother?"

"No, the surgery fee only needs 400,000 yuan, and the remaining 200,000 yuan is the follow-up anti-rejection and treatment costs, including the cost of my college education. ”

She has always been a rational and purposeful person, and since she has come to that point, it is better to go to the end in one step.

"It's just a pity that the operation was not successful, and my brother had rejection not long after leaving the sterile warehouse, and it was menacing. ”

Liang Bo walked very quickly, only about a month before and after, but during that time, Liang Zhen was reluctant to talk about it because it was too painful and too hard.

"I remember my brother was supposed to leave in August, and it was really ...... that time Life is a mess. Liang Zhen tightened Zhong Yu's palm, "On the one hand, I have to deal with my brother's posthumous affairs, and on the other hand, I have to entangle with Liang Guocai, he thought that I took a huge amount of money from your father, so he blocked me all day long, but God opened his eyes, he was hit by a car when he blocked me, and his leg was broken. ”

Zhong Yu didn't know about these things.

Five years ago, his last contact with Liang Zhen was when he learned that he was sued by her for the crime of being a Q woman, and used this to blackmail Zhong Shoucheng to settle with money.

The two finally met once, and he was so emotional that he almost strangled Liang Zhen to death that time.

Liang Zhen didn't explain, and silently took all the charges, and since then Zhong Yu has been dead and accepted Zhong Shoucheng's suggestion to send him to study abroad.

"I know that you went to school to quit school, and promised your father that he would go abroad, and I don't think we will see each other again in the future, so there is no point in talking about some things. ”

After that, Zhong Yu and the intermediary chose a school and prepared materials to go abroad, while Liang Zhen dealt with Liang Bo's aftermath alone.

At this point, the two became two parallel lines, and they did not cross paths for five years.

"You should know the rest of the story, in mid-August I received a college acceptance letter, and at the same time I was found to be pregnant, struggling, and painful, but finally decided to keep the baby. ”

At that time, Liang Zhen had an admission notice in one hand and an early pregnancy examination report in the other, and finally she burned the notice and left the examination report, and at that time, Zhong Yu should have flown to the other side of the ocean, and Tang Yaosen was still immersed in the pain of being "betrayed and hurt" by Liang Zhen.

At the fork in the road of life, everyone began to go in a very different direction.

Zhong Yu listened quietly to her after telling this long and depressing story, and didn't know what else to say, but his arm tightened the person in his arms, and then tightened it......

When life's pain, happiness, regret and happiness all come from the same person, we can't wait to accumulate all the time and space.

After a long time, the mood still could not be soothed.

Zhong Yu buried his snort in Liang Zhen's neck socket.

"I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry......"

It would have been nice to ask a few more questions back then.

If only I could find someone to check it out back then.

It would be nice if I hadn't decided impulsively.

It would be nice if I didn't leave back then......

But where is the "if"?

Because of a mistake, a misunderstanding, changed the trajectory of everyone.

Zhong Yu hugged Liang Zhen's thin body, "If I could stay back then, I wouldn't agree to you giving up the opportunity to go to college." ”

"What about the kid?

"Of course not!" Zhong Yu raised her voice on her shoulder, "The child can be born as usual, and you can continue to go to school, it's a big deal that we get married early." ”

"But I'm not yet the legal age for marriage. ”

"Then hold a banquet first, and then get your certificate when you are twenty years old. ”

"The child is still a black household. ”

"Then I don't care, anyway, you have to go to school, and the child has to be born. ”

He admits that he is greedy, but at the same time he is grateful for the favor of fate, because in the end, the children and people still returned to him, but she missed five years in vain, she suffered so much and suffered so many sins.

"You must have hated me at the time, don't admit it. Zhong Yu circled Liang Zhen and continued to ask.

Liang Zhen shook his head, "I really don't hate." "Because life is too difficult, I don't have the strength to hate anymore, "I just feel sorry for my brother, he went to work as a driller for me to study, I just hope that I can be admitted to college and get ahead, but I gave up such a good opportunity to have a child." ”

"But you also came out to find a summer job to treat him, so you met Tang Yaosen. ”

Therefore, there must be a cause and an effect, and there must be a cause if there is an effect, all of which are one ring after another, and no one can break free from the gears of fate.

Liang Zhen closed his eyes and inhaled fiercely, turned around and hugged Zhong Yu.

Thankfully, fortunately...... When they come back, they can return to each other.

"I..."

"Huh?"

"I want to say. Liang Zhen hugged Zhong Yu's neck tightly, "Thank you for ignoring my previous relationship with Tang Yaosen, and thank you for your efforts for me." ”

In order to let the old man accept her, Liang Zhen knew that Zhong Yu should have suffered a lot of pressure and grievances.

To this day, although the old man's attitude towards her is still lukewarm, he has at least recognized her as the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family.

At this point, she already felt good, really, well.

Liang Zhen lay on Zhong Yu's shoulder, his arms around his neck, and his heart was close to each other's hearts.

She said: "I will try my best to be a good mother, daughter-in-law, and wife, and not let you be embarrassed or worried." ”

He said: "I will also try my best to be a good father, a good son, and a good husband, so that you will not work hard and suffer a little more grievances." ”

The two hugged each other.

Along the way, there have been quarrels, complaints, confrontations, and losses......

Trekking through mountains and rivers, through mountains and mountains.

From the initial acquaintance, dislike, and hatred, to the current acquaintance and embrace, only each other can experience the hardships and difficulties in the middle, but fortunately, they have reached the other side now, which is considered a consummation.
