Yu Shu handed over the continuation and management rights of the two books to Qingmei in order to save trouble, Qingmei had money to spend, and she didn't care about the money she earned from writing books.

Yan Dong is in a hurry over there, he relies on these two books every month to make a basic living, in fact, he has also written a few books and posted them on the Internet, but unfortunately his books have not been popular, the reading volume is very low, and there is basically no income every month. Therefore, he had to contact Qingmei over and over again, asking Qingmei to meet him as soon as possible to sign the contract, but Zihao was on a business trip, Yushu was about to give birth, Xinyu couldn't be contacted for a long time, Jiaxin was busy setting up a live broadcast platform, and no one accompanied her to meet, so she kept dragging it out.

On this day, she was watching Huzi practice robots, and suddenly the phone rang, and she saw that it was a flying fish calling, she answered the phone, and he said: "Miss Bai, I am outside the door of your yard, please help open the door, and I will sign a contract with you." ”

Qingmei hurriedly walked out to take a look, Yan Dong was standing outside the iron gate, Qingmei walked over and said, "But, my husband is not at home......"

Yan Dong was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Miss Bai, do you think I look like a bad person?" ”

Qingmei has lived alone for so many years, her vigilance is still very high, no matter what Yan Dong says, she just won't open the door, she took the contract and looked at it, and said: "Okay, I'll sign it for you, you send the manuscript as soon as possible, and I'll upload it tonight." ”

Yan Dong hurriedly expressed his gratitude, after the contract was signed, he didn't want to leave, Qingmei asked kindly, "Do you have anything else?" ”

Yan Dong hummed for a long time before he said, "Miss Bai, you are a very good person, you are very kind at first glance, can you advance some money to me first?" ”

Qingmei said: "Your manuscript hasn't been sent to me yet, we haven't uploaded it to the platform yet, where is the money for you?" ”

Yan Dong said embarrassedly: "I haven't had income for a long time, the money you gave me a few days ago has been paid for rent, and I have been living on a pack of instant noodles every day these days." ”

When he said this, Qingmei was taken aback, this kind of anxious day for survival, Qingmei felt it deeply. She smiled softly and asked, "How much do you want to advance?" ”

Yan Dong made up his mind and said, "One thousand yuan." ”

Qingmei asked him to wait, she went back to the house and took 5,000 yuan and handed it to Yan Dong, Yan Dong said that with 1,000 yuan, he could get by, Qingmei smiled and said, "It's going to be cold soon, buy two clothes." Yan Dong nodded his head in gratitude.

After Yan Dong left, Qingmei's mood was difficult to calm down, how could this man live like this? She could only shake her head and sigh.

The next day, Zihao came back from a business trip, saw Yu Shu, and came to visit Qingmei, he asked about the continuation of the book, she told Zihao that the book had begun to be continued, and she didn't dare to say anything about Yan Dong's borrowing money. Zihao repeatedly told her to pay attention to safety, and then got up and left.

However, a few days later, Yan Dong called again, humming and chirping for a long time before he said his request: "Miss Bai, you must think I am a liar, but I do need your help, my mother is sick, I need 10,000 yuan, if you can lend it to me, I will repay you with the manuscript fee in the future." ”

Qingmei hesitated this time, thought for a while and said, "You wait for me to ask my husband, and in a while, I will call you back." ”

Qingmei had no choice but to call Zihao and tell him about the situation last time, together with today's situation, Zihao said: "Liar, he doesn't look like it, but no one can bear it with endless borrowing money like this, no, you contact him, let's go to where he lives and talk about it." Qingmei hung up the phone.

She called Yan Dong and asked him where he lived, he was silent for a while, he said a place name, Qingmei asked several times, but she didn't figure out where it was, and finally Yan Dong said the name of a large shopping mall Qingmei roughly knew the location, so he asked him to send a location.

Zihao drove over with Qingmei, walked for a long time, and finally found him in the northeast suburbs, he was a little embarrassed, he asked Zihao to park the car in front of a hotel, he took them left and right to the basement where he lived, this room has twelve square meters, most of it is underground, only a small window on the ground, you can see light and ventilation, and there is a musty smell in the house.

It took a long time for Qingmei and Zihao to get used to the dim light in the room, and only then did they see that facing the window with a little light was a desk with an unclear color, an old laptop on the table, a wooden bed against the wall on the right side of the desk, a simple wardrobe at the foot of the bed, which was already a little tilted, and a cement table on the left side of the desk, on which an induction cooker and a rice cooker were placed.

He hurriedly twisted a worn-out wooden chair in front of the desk, and asked Qingmei to sit, Qingmei sat down, Zihao had to sit on the edge of the bed, Yan Dong said: "The basement and the top floor here are rented with people like us who are engaged in art and literature with dreams, in fact, our lives are precarious." I've been struggling here for more than ten years, and I haven't succeeded at all, and I can't go back, so I have to persevere. My mother was diabetic and had recently become seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized, and my father asked me to send 10,000 yuan back, but ...... So, I want to beg you."

Qingmei was a little embarrassed, Zihao saw this situation, and felt very uncomfortable, so he said to Yan Dong: "Mr. Yan, Miss Bai is a lesbian, there is a lot of inconvenience, but she is still very kind, she asked me to take a look, what you said is still the real situation, in this way, I will lend you 10,000 yuan, and you can pay me back when you have money in the future." As he spoke, he took out the 10,000 yuan he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to Yan Dong.

Yan Dong was so moved that he didn't know what to say, so he said "thank you" repeatedly. He wanted to write an IOU, and Zihao said: "You don't need an IOU, you can pay it back when you have money." ”

Yan Dong led them out of the alley again, and Zihao shook hands with him to say goodbye.

As soon as they started the car, Yu Shu's call came: "Zihao, where are you?" I feel like I'm going to give birth! ”

Zihao said their location, and Yu Shu said, "It's too late!" My stomach hurts! Zihao said: "Don't worry, we will call Jiaxin and Xinbao at the same time, they will come soon." ”

Zihao called Jiaxin, Qingmei called Xinbao, and said that Yushu was going to have a baby, and they didn't have time to rush over, so Jiaxin and Xinbao immediately said that they would go immediately. Zihao hurriedly called Yu Shu and said that they would be there soon, and asked Yu Shu not to worry.

Yushu's parents were anxious around her, Jiaxin and Xinbao both came, they half-helped Yushu and half-lifted them into the car, Jiaxin called the hospital again, and Xinbao told Zihao which hospital it was.

Zihao and the others arrived, Yu Shu had already been sent to the delivery room, and after a while, a nurse came out and asked, "Who is called Lu Zihao?" Your wife called you in. ”

Zihao hurriedly went in, Yu Shu was already sweating in pain, and she said loudly: "Zihao, come here, you hold my hand, if I die, I will die in your arms." ”

Zihao held her head with his left arm, held her hand tightly with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Giving birth to a child is a happy event, don't say this, just do it at once." ”

Under the guidance and encouragement of the doctor, Yu Shu finally gave birth to a son.

Yushu was moved to the ward, the child was cleaned, the nurse sent the child, Zihao, Jiaxin and Xinbao all rushed to report, and the nurse asked, "Who is the child's father?" All three men said they were, and the nurse laughed.
