Xu Qing's absurd thoughts are like a colorful bubble, and the gorgeous appearance is full of beautiful expectations and fantasies, but the reality is like a needle, and the moment the two meet, it will 'bang' and shatter in his heart......

She turned her head to look at Lin Hao, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "My parents divorced when I was a child, my father left with another woman when I was seven years old, and my mother worked in a factory alone, pulling me up, elementary school, junior high school, high school and high school all the way to college, all the tuition and miscellaneous expenses are borne by my mother alone." ”

"Since I was in junior high school, I have been determined to let my mother live a good life, and I don't want her to work so hard for me, and I am still competitive, I was admitted to a good university, and after graduating from college, I entered Su Qiao's company as a clerk, and finally climbed to my current position step by step......" At this point, Xu Qing paused slightly, and her hands were unconsciously clenched together, so that her fingertips lost their blood color and became pale.

"Two years ago, it was the busiest stage of my work, and I didn't have much time to spend with her, except for the mortgage every month, I would give more than half of my salary to my mother, so that when she was usually fine, she would go to the street to buy some clothes and eat more nutritious things...... But who knows, my mother is reluctant to spend the money I gave her, after a lifetime of hard life, the old man just can't turn the corner of happiness, just quietly saved the money I gave her, and she is still frugal. ”

The smile on Xu Qing's face disappeared, and was replaced by deep self-blame: "Also at that time, one day my mother suddenly told me that she had some stomach pain, and I rushed to work that morning, and when I saw that the old man was not too much of a problem, I left her a few thousand yuan and asked her to go to the hospital by herself...... But who knows, it wasn't until I came home late at night that I found that she had fainted on the kitchen floor......"

Hearing this, Lin Hao's brows involuntarily locked together, looking at Xu Qing, who blamed himself, he didn't know how to explain, after all, Lin Hao didn't have parents, so he couldn't empathize with Xu Qing's experience.

"That night, I sent my mother to the hospital, and the results of the doctor's examination determined that it was an advanced stage of stomach cancer, and then I learned that my mother saved all the money I gave her in order to save money, and ate all day long, which was not much different from before, and the old man's immunity had long since deteriorated, the doctor said...... This has a lot to do with what she eats every day. ”

The tears in Xu Qing's eyes couldn't help but fall, she could no longer hide the grievances that had been buried in her heart for a long time, and covered her face and cried bitterly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I didn't take good care of her, I just want to make money, and then give her money...... I'm so stupid, if I had found out earlier, my mom wouldn't have ...... like this."

Lin Hao, who was standing on the side, was at a loss, he didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him, he raised his hand several times, wanting to take Xu Qing into his arms and give her a little support, but the raised hand was hesitantly put down......

In the midst of crying, Xu Qing told Lin Hao everything that happened later.

Xu's mother suffered from stomach cancer and was diagnosed with middle and advanced stages, because Xu's mother's physical fitness was so poor that the doctor told Xu Qing that the chance of being cured by surgery was very small, and surgery was not recommended unless he was a famous doctor at the national level.

Because of the guilt for her mother, Xu Qing insisted that her mother live in the best ward, with the best medicine and companionship, but in this way day after day, even if Xu Qing made more money, he couldn't bear the expenses like running water.

Later, Xu Qing simply sold the family's house in the city, and after paying off the loan at one time, she used the remaining money to continue to treat her mother.

Because Xu's mother's condition gradually deteriorated, just working in the company during the day was no longer enough to support the high medical expenses, Xu Qing had no choice but to find a way to make money at night, in order not to affect the normal work of the next day, she could not find a part-time night shift, think about it...... Xu Qing chose the road of setting up a stall.

The income of setting up a stall for a day is not stable, when it is small, it may only make a net profit of a few dozen yuan, and when it is more, it is only two or three hundred, and in a month, the income of three to four thousand yuan can only maintain the treatment expenses of Xu's mother for a few days.

Xu Qing, who got off work today and went to the hospital, was notified by the hospital to change Xu's mother's medical plan and increase medication, so that the 50,000 yuan bonus awarded to Xu Qing by the company today came to naught.

Xu Qing originally just set up a stall on the flyover or on the street, but later because of the repeated expulsions of the chengguan, he had no choice but to move to the pedestrian street.

"Lin Hao, thank you very much, if you hadn't happened to arrive, today's incident would ...... I don't really know what to do anymore. Xu Qing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and an embarrassed crimson rose on his face: "Let you see the joke...... I've never told anyone about this, and I've always buried it in my heart, so when I say this to you, I can't help but cry......"

In strong people, there is a fragile forbidden area in their hearts, and the hardness of their appearance is just a protective color.

"It's okay, some things must be uncomfortable all the time in my heart, and over time, I am easy to get heart disease, and if I don't do well, I will fall ill in my body." After that, Lin Hao's face showed a simple smile: "In the future...... Minister Xu, if you don't mind, I'll call you by name, after today, if you want to have anything unhappy, you can come and talk to me, I'm a person, although I can't speak, but if you want to vent, you can use me as a sandbag, it's okay to punch twice, and I'll be happy at once, anyway, I'm like this, whoever provokes me, I'll scold him, and if you don't understand your anger, you will beat him, and then you will talk about it until you are happy. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Qing burst into tears and laughed, and the gloomy color on his face was swept away: "You, not long after you came to the company, you first took Liu Renyi away, and now you have offended Chen Yang...... Can't you talk about something well? Do you have to do it? Anyway, I don't dare to use you as a punching bag, hit you twice, and you want to throw me downstairs at once, I can't stand it. ”

Lin Hao pursed his mouth helplessly, and said in his heart, is the reputation of buddies so stinky? Liu Renyi and Chen Yang are both looking for their own draws, okay? Dude is on the side that has the reason.

Secretly angry in his heart, Lin Hao suddenly became serious again: "Xu Qing, how much is your mother's medical expenses for a month?" Have you handed it over this month? ”

"Before, it was estimated that it would be 30,000 to 40,000 a month, but it was ......"

"I went to the hospital today, and the doctor suggested that the medical plan should be changed and the medication should be increased, so I paid all the medical expenses for the 50,000 yuan bonus that was sent today, and this is only two weeks' expenses."

Speaking of her mother's condition, Xu Qing's face instantly became ugly, and when she thought of the bottomless pit that seemed to cost medical expenses, her eyes were full of confusion.

"Fifty thousand two weeks, wouldn't that cost more than 100,000 yuan a month? Can you get it? Lin Hao was also stunned for a while, he had no concept of cancer, so he naturally couldn't imagine that the cost of daily treatment would be terrifying, and the daily treatment cost was more than 3,000, and his monthly salary seemed to be only in his early 6,000s.

Xu Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My month's salary, plus the income from the stall is just enough for my mother's medical expenses for half a month, I was thinking, if my mother's ward is transferred to an ordinary ward, the medical expenses should be reduced a lot, and I will find a part-time job at night, so that I should be able to survive." ”

"Looking for a part-time night shift?" Hearing this, Lin Hao was dumbfounded: "You're not sleeping?" You still have to go to work during the day, how can your body stand it if it goes on like this? Don't wait for your mother's illness to be cured and you will be admitted to the hospital again. ”

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to move much when you set up a stall, it's all about resting, I plan to find a restaurant that is open all night as a waiter, under normal circumstances, there are few customers, if you work during the day, two hours of sleep at noon lunch time is about the same, experts say that a person only needs to have five hours of deep sleep is enough." Xu Qingqiang smiled happily, and anyone could see the bitterness and paleness hidden in that smile.

Hearing this, Lin Hao unconsciously groaned...... Five hours of deep sleep? She can only deceive herself, the company's lunch break is only two hours, and when setting up a stall, you have to pay attention to the surrounding conditions, beware of thieves, where is it as easy as she said?

"Xu Qing, you still don't go to the part-time job at night......" After saying that, Lin Hao gasped: "You also know that I have a good relationship with Su Youyou, so let's do it, I'll ask Su Youyou to pay you for the medical expenses first, and then you hurry up and contact the famous doctor and let your mother have surgery, otherwise if you continue like this, your mother's illness can only be delayed again and again, and you can't afford your mother's high medical expenses." ”

Originally, Lin Hao thought that his words would make Xu Qing smile, but he didn't know that Xu Qing's face was extremely calm, and his eyes were even more unshocked.

"No need, Lin Hao."

Lin Hao was slightly stunned, staring at Xu Qing, and his face was puzzled: "Why not?" I think if Su Youyou knows about you, she will definitely help you. ”

"I'm not worried about whether to help or not, I understand Mr. Su's personality, but ...... I don't want to be favored by others. ”

At this moment, Xu Qing's face had a stubbornness: "I understand your kindness, I tell you about my mother, just treat you as a friend, I don't want others to know about my mother's situation, I also have the ability to bear my mother's treatment expenses, even if life is a little harder, a little harder, I can bear it alone." ”

"Don't tell Mr. Su, or a third party other than you and me, okay?"

Seeing Xu Qing's persistence and stubbornness, Lin Hao didn't know what to say, maybe this is her unique character.

Lin Hao nodded silently, hesitated, and said, "What if...... I mean, if you really can't hold it one day, you must tell me, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother, you can be bitter, you can be tired, but your mother has worked hard for you all her life, do you have to watch her spend the rest of her life in the hospital bed, haunted by illness? ”

At this moment, Xu Qing's tear ducts couldn't help but collapse again, today may be the sweetest one she has cried the most in her life, but Lin Hao knows that after crying tonight, she will become stronger.
