"Hello Mr. Zhuo, I am the customer service representative of Imperial Bank, and my work number is 03005. The credit card you applied for with our bank on March 15, xx year was charged a fee of 30,000 yuan on the 5th of the previous month, and the repayment date was the end of this month, and the minimum repayment amount was 3000. I hope it doesn't bother you and I wish you a great day. The sweet voice on the other end of the phone made Zhuo Xiaodong break out in a cold sweat, and his heart was even more cold.

After saying "oh", Zhuo Xiaodong hung up the phone with a sad face.

Zhuo Xiaodong, 20 years old, had dropped out of college a month ago to start sales at a solar energy company due to his mother's sudden liver disease and his family's financial constraints.

Not long after entering the society, he didn't have much money in his hand, and his mother's surgery was imminent, so he could only use his credit card to pay for the operation.

The cold evening breeze in early winter blew through Zhuo Xiaodong's broken hair, and he couldn't help but shiver with cold clothes.

Through the dim street lamp, I saw that Zhuo Xiaodong's sallow face did not have the slightest blood, but his facial features were quite handsome, and his tired eyes looked at the street scene at the beginning of the lights, and his heart suddenly felt powerless.

"Mom, my son will definitely let you live a good life, definitely..." Zhuo Xiaodong's words revealed perseverance, although the light was dim, a trace of crystal could still be seen swirling in his eyes.

He stubbornly raised his head, trying his best to stop the glimmer from slipping from the corner of his eye.

Zhuo Xiaodong tightened his clothes, and walked alone on the streets of this city that made him feel extremely strange at this moment in the cold night breeze of early winter.

Touching the only few hundred yuan left in his pocket, and thinking about the salary of less than two thousand yuan, an inexplicable melancholy rose in his heart.

The follow-up treatment of the mother lying in the hospital still needs a steady stream of money, and the once heroic ambition has long been shattered in the face of this cruel society.

"Gollum..."

It wasn't until his stomach let out a painful wail that Zhuo Xiaodong remembered that he hadn't even eaten dinner yet.

He was about to go in after passing a noodle shop, but after touching his pocket, he walked to the bun shop on the side.

"The boss has 4 vegetable packs."

The boss glanced at Zhuo Xiaodong and opened the steamer with a smile: "There are still the last 5 vegetable bags left, and I can buy them all." ”

Zhuo Xiaodong showed a smile and said, "No, I only need 4." ”

"Anyway, the stall is going to be closed, and there is one more that I will give you." The boss handed 5 buns to Zhuo Xiaodong.

"How's that going to work?" After that, Zhuo Xiaodong hurriedly took the money and paid for 5 buns.

After leaving the bun shop, the boss looked at his slightly thin back from afar, and there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Zhuo Xiaodong nibbled on the hot buns and rushed to the hospital, since his mother was hospitalized, he was at two o'clock and one line in the unit hospital every day.

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

From not far away, there were bursts of apologetic apologies, the voice seemed very old, like coming from the mouth of an old man, but full of panic.

With curiosity, Zhuo Xiaodong walked over looking for the voice.

As it was late and the temperature plummeted at night, there were hardly any people on the road.

Zhuo Xiaodong walked in and saw an old man pushing a tricycle standing on the side of the road with a frightened face, looking at the fashionably dressed middle-aged woman beside him with a somewhat stupid expression.

The middle-aged woman kept pointing fingers at the old man, scolding, and it could be seen from her dress and the jewelry on her body that she should be a rich person.

"Old man, have you opened your eyes, your tricycle has torn my skirt. Do you know how much this dress of mine is worth? This was brought back by the trustee from abroad for 30,000 yuan, and you can't afford to pay for it for a lifetime. The middle-aged woman was very arrogant, pointing at the old man's nose and scolding.

The old man, apparently frightened, stood to the side, his wrinkled face full of sorrow, and through the dim streetlamp there was a glitter in his eyes.

It may be the relationship of the perennial dry body, the old man's back is already a little hunched, and he shiveres in the cold wind with thin clothes.

"Old thing, don't think that you can't think about it if you don't say anything, I have to let you pay for it today." The middle-aged woman said unrelentingly.

Seeing such a scene, Zhuo Xiaodong was also a little angry in his heart. I really wanted to go up and help the old man, but at the moment his feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't take a step.

"Girl, I really didn't mean to, you shouldn't walk onto the road." The old man tried to justify himself.

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged woman was even more annoyed, and she pushed the old man's shoulder violently.

Where could the old man's already thin body withstand such a push, and suddenly he staggered and sat on the ground.

"You're going to have to lose money today." The middle-aged woman has her hands on her hips and has the posture of a shrew scolding the street.

Zhuo Xiaodong looked at it from a distance for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he was also struggling in his heart at this moment.

Do you want to go over, do you want to go over...

Just when Zhuo Xiaodong was hesitating, he suddenly felt his head dizzy, and he almost didn't fall to the ground.

It seems that I am really tired these days.

Since he worked during the day and took care of his mother at night, he patted his cheek and shook his head.

The middle-aged woman kept screaming and scolding, and the old man curled up beside the tricycle and didn't even dare to move.

Suddenly, Zhuo Xiaodong felt that his heart suddenly opened up, and he seemed to have endless courage.

He strode towards the middle-aged woman, thinking inwardly about how to help the old man get out.

When he approached, he saw the old man take out a plastic bag from a worn waist bag he was carrying.

He opened the plastic bag and pulled out a bag wrapped in a handkerchief.

The old man slowly opened the handkerchief, and saw that there was a large stack of money inside, one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, and it was estimated that it was one or two hundred yuan.

The old man looked down at the money with a reluctant expression on his face.

Zhuo Xiaodong had already seen two lines of tears slipping down the old man's face through the light, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"This eldest sister, just let this uncle go! After all, he is a lot older, and it is not easy to make money. Zhuo Xiaodong plucked up the courage to speak.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Zhuo Xiaodong with contempt, "Young man, don't worry about your business, don't meddle with it." ”

Zhuo Xiaodong ignored the middle-aged woman, walked straight to the uncle, helped him up, and helped him dust off his body.

"Eldest sister, even if this uncle accidentally breaks your skirt, you shouldn't start beating someone! This uncle's body bones are so thin, if he hurts his muscles and bones, it is not a matter that can be settled with 350,000 yuan, this is already a minor injury, if the uncle investigates, you will have to eat a lawsuit. Zhuo Xiaodong said matter-of-factly.

"Hmph, who are you scaring about! Can such a gentle push break his old bones? Are you kidding. The middle-aged woman had a hint of worry on her face, but she didn't want to give up.

Seeing this, Zhuo Xiaodong immediately turned around and said to the uncle who was leaning over, "Uncle, where do you hurt?" ”

Zhuo Xiaodong deliberately said this, which affirmed that there must be a painful part of the uncle's body, and the middle-aged woman stood aside and stared at the old man silently.

The old man touched his waist, and there was a look of pain on his face: "Waist, low back pain." ”

Zhuo Xiaodong deliberately pulled up the old man's clothes again, pretending to be an expert, and immediately put on a look of surprise: "It's a little swollen, will it really be broken, let's go to the hospital first!" ”

At this time, Zhuo Xiaodong looked at the middle-aged woman and tried to get her consent.

And the old man also looked very panicked, for fear that he would really fall.

"I'm unlucky today, I don't want you to lose money!" The middle-aged woman knew that she was in the wrong and immediately turned around to leave.

At this moment, Zhuo Xiaodong seemed to be indomitable, he quickly stepped forward and stopped in front of the middle-aged woman, putting on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance: "Sister, things are one yard at a time, if this uncle really breaks down, it will be troublesome, in case you get a human life, can you afford it?" ”

The middle-aged woman's face was pale, obviously frightened, and she was even more at the bottom of her heart when she looked at the old man's painful appearance.

I saw her take out her wallet, and immediately counted ten hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them into Zhuo Xiaodong's hand: "Pick it up and see a doctor, he doesn't care about my business in the future!" ”

"It will cost hundreds of dollars for a CT scan in the hospital, and if you really have a bone injury, you will still be held accountable at that time. If the uncle is paralyzed in bed, he will rely on you to take care of him for the rest of his life. The more Zhuo Xiaodong said, the more mysterious it became.

As soon as she heard that she would have to take care of herself for the rest of her life, the middle-aged woman was already frightened. She is the first to lose, if something really happens to the old man, then she will definitely not be able to get out of it.

I saw the middle-aged woman open her wallet, took out the thick stack of banknotes in the wallet and stuffed it to Zhuo Xiaodong, and estimated that there were 10,000 yuan.

"I just have so much money, I don't have much more, this matter ends here." Middle-aged women are already getting a little impatient.

Zhuo Xiaodong knew that he had squeezed her dry, and took the money and sent it to the old man.

"I can't take it without so much money." The simple uncle immediately pushed the money away.

The middle-aged woman was completely angry, and said in a loud voice: "Can I beg you?" Just take it! You don't want to pay for the skirt, this matter ends here, and no one owes anyone. ”

Zhuo Xiaodong also glanced at the uncle, and the uncle seemed to understand something, and nodded silently.

After seeing the old man's acquiescence, the middle-aged woman ran away.

"Thank you, child, take the money! I can't ask for it. The uncle stuffed the money into Zhuo Xiaodong's hand.

"Okay, uncle, I just saw that the road was uneven and pulled out a knife to help, I really can't get used to the arrogance of that woman, since she gave you money, you will accept it. Also, your waist should only be a soft tissue contusion, it's okay to rest for a few days, if you are really not worried, you can go to the hospital for a check-up. With that, Zhuo Xiaodong stuffed the money into the bag on the uncle's mountain wheeler.

"I really can't ask for this money..."

"Take it! You deserve it. Zhuo Xiaodong waved his hand at Uncle Zhuo and strode away.

Looking at Zhuo Xiaodong's back, the uncle felt a warm current in his heart, and he didn't feel the slightest chill when he stood in the cold wind.

Zhuo Xiaodong breathed a long sigh of relief, he felt a comfort in his heart, he couldn't imagine where he got the courage to do such a thing.

In a good mood, he nibbled on the already cold vegetable bun and walked briskly towards the hospital.

"The courage test is complete, the epic courage exchange huàn system is activated, the countdown is 10 seconds, 10, 9, 8...

At this time, an extremely charming woman's voice came from his head, not from the outside world, but indeed from his head.

"What's that?" Zhuo Xiaodong panicked, looking left and right vigorously.

"The system is successfully started, and the host is being matched..."

"The match was successful, the host name Zhuo Xiaodong, intelligence 90, body lì 70, health 80, strength 50."

The voice continued to ring, looking at the darkness and emptiness around him.
