Chapter 229: All are poor
"yes, if they do cut off your finger and you become disabled, is it worth the money?"
Shen Xue's brows furrowed tightly, obviously with pity, and asked softly.
Thinking of the way the fourth child was holding a sharp dagger just now, she was definitely not joking with the thief, if she really became disabled for this money, she was not worth it for this thief.
"I'm fine, I can bear it, I don't have to go to the hospital."
The thief struggled to get up, but had to lie down again because of the pain, panting for breath.
"Let's go, he's to blame."
Zhang Yang took Shen Xue's arm and stood up and continued: "There's no need to pity him, let him lie down for a few more days, and teach him a long lesson." ”
When he said this, Zhang Yang was also a little helpless, he could see that the thief was also pitiful, or that he was also for life.
But the thief can't see the light after all, and the man's age is also considered to be in the prime of life, and he is fully capable of supporting himself, but he always wants to get something for nothing, which makes him a little disdainful.
"Let's send him home, it's better to recuperate at home than here."
When Shen Xue walked to the mouth of the alley, she suddenly turned back, and said with a tangled look on her face.
There is no domineering of the little sister when she was in the railway bureau, and she is more like a little woman full of love at this time, even for a thief.
It is undeniable that the reason why both of them are some poor thieves is because of the money he stole from the crooks.
Moreover, the thief looks very pitiful, and there is no such obscenity as ordinary thieves, not to mention that there will be unspeakable hardships at the expense of his life.
"Where is your home? We'll send you back. Shen Xue didn't wait for Zhang Yang to answer, then walked back to the thief's side, squatted down and asked.
"You promised me that you couldn't send me to the Public Security Bureau."
The thief raised his head, his eyes full of shame and pleading, and continued, "And you can't touch my money. ”
"If I had taken you to the police station, we would have called the police a long time ago." Zhang Yang said disdainfully.
"We won't touch your money, but you promise not to be a thief in the future."
Shen Xue gently helped him up and continued: "You should also have a family, if they know that you are doing this, they definitely don't want you to do this." ”
"I ......," the thief said again.
"Let's go, your home is not far from here, do you need a taxi?"
Shen Xue was really patient and asked softly.
She is mainly a leg injury, and the person who has experienced the painful struggle of life and death makes her more loving, or more able to appreciate the preciousness of life.
Although Zhang Yang has repeatedly promised to cure her, for her, there is only a glimmer of hope.
She knew very well that if she could be cured, Zhang Yang would have cured her a long time ago.
The reason why he does not have seizures again is just a helpless maintenance, who can guarantee that one day he will not get worse and suddenly leave this world?
"Not far."
Every time the thief said a word, he pulled the pain on his face, grinned in pain and continued: "I know that you are good people, and you promised me not to sue my family, I will be a thief. ”
Good? He also knows that he can't be seen as a thief, and he is afraid that his family will know and look down on him, such a person at least has a little conscience, Zhang Yang thought secretly in his heart.
"I promise you."
Shen Xue is now overflowing with love, and feels that the thieves are very pitiful, so she said to Zhang Yang: "Big brother, come and help." ”
Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly, walked over to help her help the thief, and walked towards the mouth of the alley together.
After leaving the alley, the thief first took them out of the fortune teller's wallet from a stinky green trash can on the side of the highway in the direction they came.
It seems that the thief is still very careful, and no one will look at the trash can more, let alone turn it over, and it is undoubtedly the safest place.
He opened his wallet and looked at it, where there was a thick wad of bills.
The fortune teller and the three of them worked very hard to cheat, and they made a lot of money, but they cheapened this thief, which can be regarded as a kind of retribution, Zhang Yang thought.
The thief's house was indeed not far away, and after walking through a street, he crossed the one-day path and saw rows of simple bungalows.
The so-called rabbit does not eat the grass next to the nest, this thief actually steals things at the door of the house, and is not afraid of being discovered, from this point it can also be seen that it is indeed not a habitual offender.
There is a shadow behind the high-rise buildings, who would have thought that there would be such a poor place behind the high-rise buildings towering and bustling streets seen on the highway, which made Zhang Yang a little surprised.
Walking into the bungalow area, you can see a mountain of domestic garbage piled up, emitting a foul smell, and sewage flowing sideways on the streets.
Lined with rows of food stalls filled with shirtless migrant workers with low-quality beer, it's hard to imagine that they can still talk and laugh and eat with relish in such an environment.
When he saw Zhang Yang and Shen Xue, he immediately cast a strange gaze.
The clean outfits of the two, especially Shen Xue's delicateness, obviously surprised them, and then there were bursts of obscene laughter behind them.
Zhang Yang is not angry, these are people at the bottom of life, their filthiness is just a way to have fun, and their nature is still kind.
"Dazhu, you're back."
After pushing open the door of a bungalow, a middle-aged woman, also in her forties, walked out on crutches, but shouted with a happy smile on her face.
The bungalows are equally simple but well organized, and it can be seen that the women on crutches, although they have limited mobility, are very diligent and do some housework within their ability.
"What's wrong with your face? Did you get into a fight with someone? ”
The middle-aged woman was stunned when she saw Shen Xue and Zhang Yang, but she didn't ask too much.
But when she saw the injury on her husband's face, she asked with concern.
"No, it was just a fall, and it didn't get in the way." Dazhu pretended to relax.
"I told you to be careful a long time ago, do you think you are still a young man doing such heavy work?"
The middle-aged woman spoke with reproach in her words, glanced at Zhang Yang and Shen Xue and began to ask, "These two are ......?"
"They were my co-workers, who worked in the financial reception of the unit, and they were not at ease after I was injured, so they sent me back."
Da Zhu obviously thought of an excuse on the road, and he didn't hesitate to say it, but the embarrassment that flashed on his face could tell that he was not a frequent liar.
"You see that young people are educated, they do their work easily, and they dress so neatly."
The middle-aged woman praised with a look of envy on her face and continued: "Let's go, drink a glass of water in the house, it's very messy, you dislike it." ”
"No, auntie." Shen Xue screamed very sweetly, and walked over to help the thief named Dazhu to walk into the room.
This makes Zhang Yang even more full of good feelings for her, a pampered little girl, living in a good family environment, seeing such a shabby place, it is good not to dislike it.
She didn't even show her surprise, you must know that if she showed the slightest discomfort, for the couple, they might feel inferior and embarrassed.
"Dad, are you back so early?"
"Daddy......"
When I walked into the house, I immediately heard the shouts of two little girls, and the friendly cries were heard.
"Beibei, smile, you put on your hats, there are brothers and sisters here." The middle-aged woman reminded with a smile.
Zhang Yang and Shen Xue looked at the two little girls at the same time, and saw that they looked similar, they should be twin sisters.
Big eyes, immature little faces are very cute, but the face is sallow and sickly at first glance, both of them are bare on the top of their heads and the cute childlike face is incompatible.
"Hello brother and sister."
……
The two little girls greeted each other very politely, and then climbed to the head of the bed on one side and picked up the pink hats and put them on, making Zhang Yang and the two look much more comfortable.
"Brother and sister didn't bring you good food, you won't blame us, right?" Shen Xue walked over and said.
"No, Daddy will buy it for us."
The immature voice came, which made Zhang Yang's heart tremble, knowing that the pillar was the only hope and pillar of their family.
"Girl, ignore them, come and sit down and have a glass of water."
After the middle-aged woman poured the tea on crutches, she brought it over one by one and put it on the shabby table.
The room is even more simple, in addition to the broken table of eight immortals, there is also a cupboard that cannot distinguish the color, and then a few shabby horse stools, which shows the poverty of this family.
"By the way, I have been paid, although it is not enough, I will go to my relatives' house to borrow some in the next two days." The pillar took the bag and took out all the money in it and handed it to the woman.
After stealing the wallet, he deliberately counted it, but before he could steal the second person, he was caught by the fourth child.
After the middle-aged woman took the money, she obviously hesitated, then pulled out the money and said: "You sit for a while, I'll go out to buy some food, you are all colleagues, sit together and take care of him more in the future." ”
In her honest opinion, Zhang Yang and Shen Xue should be the managers of the unit, and a good relationship is the most important thing, of course, she didn't know that the money was stolen by her husband.
"No, we just had lunch." Shen Xue hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her.
The stolen money invited her to eat, she must have eaten uneasily, and the main thing is that the poverty of this family makes her even more unbearable to let them break the bank.
"What's wrong with the child?" Zhang Yang asked after sitting on the Mazha and drinking a cup of tea.
He will no longer look down on the man in front of him at this time, he can see from the child's sick face that he is seriously ill, and the man in front of him will choose to be a thief for the sake of the child.
Although the way is wrong, can the right way earn enough for the child's medical expenses? The answer is yes.
"Leukemia."
The pillar let out a long sigh, his brows furrowed and he said with a wry smile: "It's already very strict, chemotherapy costs more than two thousand yuan at a time, plus other costs of several thousand." ”
He said this more like explaining why he was a thief, and it was also clear from the conversation with his wife just now that the family did not know what he had done.
Zhang Yang knows that although leukemia is no longer an incurable disease, it can be cured through many treatments.
For example, cell transplantation, but any method, expensive medical costs, this poor family simply cannot afford it.
