Guan Xiao and the others took a total of two days by train to get to this town, but Guan Xiao's home had to take another two hours by bus to arrive, all the way to the countryside scene, white-walled small buildings, independent courtyards. The tattered bus was pressed on the concrete floor of the potholes, and it was very bumpy, Guan Xiao looked at He Yunfeng sitting next to her with some apologies, but he looked out the window, there was no special expression on his face, and he couldn't see dislike or liking.

Guan Xiao turned his head, and if he saw his situation, it was estimated that no matter how rock-like his expression was, he would loosen. After two hours of shaking, Guan Xiao got out of the car with his suitcase, and after leading He Yunfeng through a few ridge paths, he saw an old brick house behind a small hill, which was already a little different from what Guan Xiao remembered.

She stood outside the courtyard with her bag, hesitated for a while before pushing open the wooden door of the courtyard, there was no one in the empty courtyard, as if she had not lived in it for many years, and the breath of life was completely gone. But no one answered, and even screamed a few times and fell into the sea, He Yunfeng on the side reminded Guan Xiao, "Could it be that you are not at home?" ”

"No, it's all at this point, my mother should be at home" categorically denied He Yunfeng's speculation, Guan Xiao, who couldn't see the old man's figure, chuckled in her heart, she hurried to the closed door, looked at the locked door plug on it, and slapped the wooden door again, but no one answered, He Yunfeng behind him looked at the anxious Guan Xiao and didn't go up to stop anything, his eyes as if he were watching a play converged when Guan Xiao looked back at him helplessly.

"How could there be no one? Mother? Mother?!!!! Guan smiled and hurriedly ran out of the door to look on both sides, but the neighbors on both sides closed the doors. Guan Xiao relied on his memory to run to the newly built three-story building on the right and patted the iron door vigorously, "Is Uncle Chen at home?" Guan Xiao, who didn't hear the answer, slapped the door vigorously again, and when she slapped the fourth time, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a guarded face inside looked at Guan Xiao who was standing outside, with disgust and disgust in his eyebrows, and shouted in dialect in an unkind tone, "What knock, who are you"

Guan Xiao hurriedly sorted out his tone and made it sound kind and comfortable, "I am the youngest daughter of the Li family, Li Guanxiao, I used to play at the door of your house"

The middle-aged man thought about it and patted his head, and the expression on his face was not the same as just now, "Guan Xiao, I should be those people."

"You're Brother Xiaohei, I haven't seen you for many years, by the way, Brother Xiaohei asked you something, do you know where my mother went?" Guan Xiao knew who the group of people he was talking about, so she was even more anxious to know her mother's whereabouts and didn't want to have anything to do with him, so she went straight to the point.

"Aunt Zhang, she was picked up by your eldest brother a few days ago" The honest and honest eldest son of the Chen family told Li Guanxiao about her mother's whereabouts, Guan Xiao was anxious to rush to her eldest brother's house as soon as she learned about it, she knew that something must have happened, and the eldest brother came back to pick up her mother, and her mother once said to her that she would not leave the old house half a step unless she died.

He Yunfeng didn't complain about anything and followed behind Li Guanxiao, he looked at Guan Xiao with an unclear look in his eyes. After trekking in the field for more than half an hour, Guan Xiao arrived at the house in front of the eldest brother's house, at this time the sun was already setting in the west, and Li Guanxiao, who was sticky and sweaty, didn't care about it at all, she stepped forward and knocked on the door of the eldest brother's house, and it was her sister-in-law who opened the door, she looked at Guan Xiao with the eyes of a stranger, and then she seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you Guan Xiao?" ”

"My sister-in-law is me, what about my mother?"

Seeing Guan Xiao say this, the woman who looked like a village woman hurriedly shouted into the house, and after a while, a typical rural man appeared in front of Guan Xiao, his bronzed skin was full of vicissitudes of life because of farm work, "Brother, what about our mother" Guan Xiao looked at her brother who had not seen her for many years, her mood was extremely complicated, the village man looked at the youngest sister in the family back, he didn't know how to express it for a while, standing at the door rubbing his rough hands, jerkily called Guan Xiao's name and then said, "Mom, lying in the house"

"Mom, what's wrong?" Guan Xiao's bad premonition rose again.

"Mom, I'm sick," Li Guanhan, a 1.8-meter-tall rural rough man, said this, but he became angry, he was afraid that his sister would blame her brother when she came into the house and saw her mother lying on the bed. Li Guanxiao looked at his brother who was hanging his head and knew that something was wrong, he opened the curtain and went in to take a look, only to find his weak mother lying on the bed, "Mom, I'm Guan Xiao, I'm back" Guan Xiao sat on the side of his mother's bed with red eyes, and the old lady slowly opened her cloudy eyes when she heard Guan Xiao's call.

"Guan Xiao......" She squeezed these two words out of her trembling lips for a long time, "How can this be?" Mother? Isn't it okay when you call? Guan Xiao set his eyes on his brother who followed him into the door.

"That day...... Mom was pushed that day, and she didn't feel anything at first, but the next day Mom was uncomfortable......" Li Guanhan explained in a wordless manner.

Guan Xiao turned his head suddenly, "Why don't you go to the hospital?" ”

"......" Li Guanhan didn't know how to explain what his sister said, he said to take his mother with him, but his daughter-in-law didn't let him, and going to the hospital may not be cured.

"Brother, how do you take care of your mother? Are you so right, Mom?! I'll send money to Mom! Looking at such a brother, Guan Xiao stood up from the chair even more angrily, she didn't know that almost half of the money she sent to the old lady went into her brother's pocket.

"Yo hey! How to speak! Can you blame your brother for this? It's not your beast father" It was her sister-in-law who greeted Li Guan's joke, this sharp-toothed rural village woman is a well-known fierce woman, since her brother got married, Guan Xiao didn't like this sister-in-law.

"I sent my mother enough money to go to the hospital, why don't you take her there!" Guan Xiao felt that her temper was about to be overwhelmed.

"It's not cured if you go, it's better to let the old lady have a good rest at home"

"Can you rest and rest? Mom is dying, brother! You are not filial, you know! Guan Xiao set his eyes on his honest brother, but he followed his daughter-in-law's ass without saying a word.

"Heh, are you talking to your brother about filial piety? Do you deserve it? The family worked hard for you to go to college, and all the delicious food and drink were given to you, you conscienceless dog, you don't come back for seven or eight years, you also call filial piety? What are you compared to your brother? The sister-in-law tore her voice open, revealing a fierce look, pointing at Guan Xiao's nose and choking.

"I ...... Bring the money and I'll take my mom to the doctor! Guan Xiao knew that what her sister-in-law said was right, this sentence rubbed her heart, and her heart was dripping with blood.

"No money" The directly threw out such a sentence.

"No money? What about the money?!!! Guan Xiao looked at her brother's face incredulously, as if she understood something in an instant, "Li Guanhan! Damn, you dare to take the pension money! If you don't let you take a penny to support your mother, you can make up your mind about this money?!! You will not die well! Li Guanxiao, who gritted his teeth, really wanted to pounce on the two of them and slap them all.

"That brute father of yours deserves to die, you should kill him!"

"Whether he dies or not, it's not your turn! Get the money! Like an angry lion, Li Guanxiao erected the fur on her body to pounce on the target that made her angry.

He Yunfeng, who had been witnessing them from the sidelines, felt that the time had come, so he hurriedly went up to make a show and pulled away Li Guanxiao, who was about to pounce on the fight. Just when Guan Xiao was arguing, the old mother on the bed spoke, called Guan Xiao's name, Guan Xiao quickly stopped all her noise, rushed over and knelt beside her mother, grabbed her mother's dry palm with one hand and cried silently, and the huge guilt weighed her breathlessly. Guan Xiao...... Mother...... I can still see you...... It's content......" The old lady's voice was hoarse and weak, and she laughed and burst into tears, "Mom, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Guan Xiao was wrong...... Mom......"

Guan Xiao...... Mom knows...... You are bitter...... Don't blame...... Your brother" The old lady moved her fingers as if she wanted to grab her daughter's hand, but she couldn't move her whole body now, the only thing that could still move was her eyes, she knew the pain of this little daughter being alone, Guan Xiao, who never reported to the family, always smiled and talked to her on the phone, sent money home, and even helped the father who dragged them all their lives to pay off the debt, she was tired and pitiful, she knew that Guan Xiao did that to prevent those people from coming to the door, and there was no way out.

The old lady looked at Guan Xiao with no taste in her heart, and her fluttering eyes fell on He Yunfeng's face who was standing behind Guan Xiao, she moved her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something, Guan Xiao introduced to her mother with understanding, "Mom, this is He Yunfeng, my ...... Boyfriend ......" Guan Xiao lowered the last three words, she hoped that the old lady would be happy when she heard that she had someone who could take care of her. He Yunfeng nodded and did not deny Guan Xiao's words, nor did he agree.

Guan Xiao...... It's a good boy" The old lady said this to He Yunfeng, and He Yunfeng also nodded obediently.

"Mom is relieved" the old lady's wrinkled mouth hooked up a difficult smile, slowly closed her eyes, Guan Xiao looked at her mother who seemed to be tired, she didn't want to bother, she got up to cover her mother with a quilt and walked out, wiped her tears outside the door, she turned her head and said coldly to the eldest brother on the side, "When the gang came, did they bring an IOU?" How much? ”

"To" Li Guanhan really went back to the house and grabbed a crumpled IOU.

"Two million?!!! How could he, a rural gambler, owe so much! Guan Xiao was furious and tore the IOU into pieces and threw it on the ground, she couldn't pay back such money, never think about it, this was forcing her to die! Li Guan, who was like a dead heart, sat on the ground with a smile, she had never been so desperate again, and the hardships she had suffered in the city had not broken her, but this IOU completely broke all her defenses, and those who couldn't get the money would definitely not let her and her relatives go, what should she do? She had no choice, she was crying in pain, her mind was blank, a person's figure was crazy in her mind, she really wanted to hug her and cry bitterly, and spit out all her grievances.

"I can help you pay back two million," He Yunfeng stood beside Guan Xiao and said flatly.

Guan Xiao looked up at He Yunfeng in surprise, her face was full of incredulous expressions, she just said that in front of her mother, it didn't mean that what she said was true, and she didn't expect He Yunfeng to help her repay the money, such a large sum of money, what did this man want? Is it really the so-called love?
