Chapter 84: Seeing the Truth in Adversity
Colleagues can't do it, classmates should be okay. As I went upstairs, I got into the phone with a high school classmate. Although college classmates have lived and studied together for four years, they are far less affectionate than classmates in high school for three years. When I was in high school, Ah Mao and I were classmates, whether it was a buddy or a bunk bed. In the first semester of his junior year of high school, his academic performance was still very poor. Even if he can perform at a higher level in the college entrance examination, it is difficult for him to be admitted to universities that are not in the province. But under my guidance, his grades gradually improved, and he was finally admitted to the Western Guangxue University, a first-class university in the province.
For this, he and his parents even came to thank me. After graduating from university, this old classmate opened two high-end hotels with the help of his father, and he used a BMW to get in and out, which was very stylish. Not to mention that you can borrow 100,200,000, 120,000 should be no problem.
"Hey, Mao? I'm Tofu, your tablemate in my third year of high school. ”
After graduating, I kept in touch with Ah Mao a lot. The night before my aunt fell ill, I had dinner with him and sang songs on his shoulders. I'm obviously doing this for a long time, hehe.
"As soon as you fed it, I could tell you were tofu. It's really out of sight when you introduce me like this, as if I forgot about my brother. Sue you, Tofu, I forgot my parents, and I can't forget your kindness to me! Let's worship brothers, why are you so polite? Sure enough, as soon as Ah Mao heard the voice, he knew it was me.
"Hehe, get used to it." With his words, I was in a good mood and thought that I had met a nobleman.
"Hahaha, tofu, long time no see, come out for a drink tonight! I pay! "Ah Mao is very bold. It's only half a month, do you need the word "for a long time"? He's also exaggerating.
"Ah Mao, I don't have time tonight, I can't leave, I'm sorry. However, there are many opportunities to drink. Ah Mao, I have a very urgent matter right now, and I hope to get your help. "If you ask him to borrow money at the banquet, you have a better chance. But the aunt must be accompanied by someone, and she really can't leave. What's more, Ah Mao and I are not friends for a day or two, and he will definitely save this difficulty.
"Tofu, what are you polite? Who are we with? Anything, just say. "Sure enough, Ah Mao is very crisp.
Enough friends, enough righteousness, finally found the right person. Why didn't I think of him earlier, hehe, regret it! Fortunately, there is still time.
"Then you're welcome, Mao. Here's the thing, I got a girlfriend ....... ”
"Hahaha, your kid has been very lucky all the way, and he is jealous." Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by laughter.
"Her mother suddenly fell ill, it was leukemia, and she was already very strict. Now the hospital, it needs a lot of money, I wonder if you can ....... I didn't stop narrating, but went on, finally explaining what I meant. But unexpectedly, my words were interrupted again.
"Oops, this...... Not so good. I've had a bad business lately, and I've just invested in a new project, and I'm very tight on cash. "The other party is embarrassed, and he is nervous again.
"I don't ask for much, can I ask for twelve thousand?" I was afraid that the number would be too large, so he hung up on me. No, the lion opened his mouth, and he could borrow a little bit to count a little. From 100,000 yuan to 1,000 yuan.
A thousand yuan is a drop in the bucket for Ah Mao.
"Brother, it's so embarrassing, I want to lend it to you, but I'm really nervous about it now."
"One hundred or two hundred, or fifty, will be enough to solve my mother-in-law's food tonight and tomorrow." I couldn't have lowered my expectations any lower.
"Wouldn't it? You don't have one or two hundred dollars? Hum! Tofu, you're fooling me! Ignore you! ”
"Hey! Feed! ”
……
Hey, another hope has been disappointed, another ruthless person who doesn't say goodbye. There is wine and meat are all brothers, how can I see a person in a disaster?! Brother, hehe, Lao Tzu is murderous, where is my brother?! It's so realistic!
"I'm really sorry for you, Koike."
The aunt, who had been lying on the bed and had not spoken, spoke. Before I knew it, I had gone upstairs and into the ward.
"Mom, the family doesn't talk to each other. You are a quiet mother, and you are also my mother, and it is right for a son to do something for his mother. ”
Because of my eagerness, I even let my aunt know my predicament.
"I'm useless, I'm dragging you down." As she spoke, the aunt burst into tears.
I panicked and hurriedly wiped away my aunt's tears with a tissue.
"Mom, there's no end to it. Don't think about it. Jing Jing came back with the demolition money tonight, and she can have surgery tomorrow. ”
I comforted my aunt. The aunt was silent. Actually, I don't know where the road is, and I haven't even landed for dinner tonight, so what else is there to go?
I opened the drawer next to the bed, trying to get a tissue to continue wiping my aunt's tears. Suddenly, I saw a fifty yuan note, and a note: Brother Tofu, this is my last money, and I will leave it for you to prepare for you and Auntie's breakfast tonight and tomorrow.
Tears welled up in my eyes: Affliction shows the true feelings! Little dimple, you are good to me, my tofu will never be forgotten in this life!
I bought a boxed lunch of stewed chicken with mushrooms for my aunt and spent 35 yuan, and I ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles for three yuan and five yuan, with the remaining 11.5 yuan. 11.5 yuan, which should be enough for my aunt and me for breakfast tomorrow. As for tomorrow's lunch, I don't think I should have to worry about it, Jingjing will definitely be back. As soon as she returned, not only could the problem of eating be solved, but her aunt's surgery could also be carried out.
I don't know if you have quietly got the demolition money? If I can't get it, I won't be able to eat, and it's okay to be hungry for a few days. But if you don't have the money for surgery, your aunt's life is hard to spare! I can't imagine. Human life is at stake, and Mr. Huang will not disregard his aunt's life.
"I don't need any reason to love the renminbi, the great renminbi has created a miracle ......."
My phone rang, and it was silently calling. It seems that the demolition money has an eyebrow.
"How's my mom doing?" There was a bit of sadness in the words.
"No problem, it's still stable. Today, Little Dimple gave me 5,000 yuan, and I just paid the hospitalization fee. The doctor has already drugged Mom, you don't have to worry. ”
"The demolition fee has not yet arrived, and Mr. Huang said that he would give it to me as soon as possible. I'm now in Wu Mengjia. This is a long story, the cost is so expensive, I will hang up first. ”
When I arrived at Wu Meng's house quietly, I was both happy and worried. The joy is: Wu Mengken saw the down-and-out old classmates, and invited Jingjing to his home, which shows that Wu Meng still misses the feelings of her classmates, and has a righteous dog friend, she should be willing to help. Next, it's just a matter of how much you can borrow. In this way, at least Jing Jing will not return empty-handed tomorrow. The worry is: poverty leads to thieves. Men learn bad when they have money, and women learn bad when they are rich. Now Jingjing has been cornered, and her eyebrows are burning, and I am worried that she will not hesitate to pay a price in order to save her mother, under the lure of Wu Meng.
Talking to me quietly, it has always been "stinky tofu" or "tofu" on your lips. This time, she didn't even have a title, and she hung up the phone in a hurry, which I didn't feel good. The abnormal behavior when I was quietly leaving, and the abnormal words and deeds during the phone call just now, made me feel more and more ominous. I wish I had a lot of heart.
It costs 10 yuan to rent a box-spring bed a night. Although I have 11.5 yuan, I still have to take care of my aunt's breakfast tomorrow morning. I had no choice but to sit on a stool next to the bed, lean against the wall, and "sleep" casually all night.
