Chapter 22: I (4)
What they call "a small favor" is indeed just a small favor.
As small as I could take those few people through the workshop of a chemical plant.
I've worked in a chemical plant for a few days, so it's not hard for me...... But trust me, I know what these people are trying to do.
Next door to the chemical plant is another big company, and although I don't know what it does, this group of people definitely wants to sneak in, steal something, or do some damage.
See, I was drunk, but I immediately sensed the plan of this group, maybe I had a talent for being a criminal...... Ha ha...... The joke isn't bad either.
Eventually, I pretended not to understand, but was interested, and told them that I would consider it...... Of course, I couldn't have really been interested in it, and I just said this because I wanted them to pay for my drinks.
Sure enough, the men readily agreed, and agreed to meet again at this time tomorrow.
But tomorrow they may be disappointed.
......
In this way, I dragged on until a little later than the usual end of work, and then I got drunk and set out on the way home, which I walked slowly and threw up a few times, so that by the time I reached the alley that led to the apartment, it was already dark.
Hopefully Jenny won't be angry, but if she does, I'll give her that lipstick...... Ha ha...... When I think about that moment, I have a sense of blissful anticipation, as if everything was ...... It's going to be fine.
However......
Not.
......
"Hey, I feel some pain in my stomach."
Ten minutes after I got home, Jenny said to me, clutching her stomach.
I don't know why, maybe it was the smell of wine on me, or maybe the bread wasn't fresh enough today, but I saw her brow furrowing and tightening, and finally, even faintly began to moan.
"Oh my God, what's wrong." I anxiously asked, "Is it my taste, uh, it's my fault, how can I drink?" Let's go to the hospital now, yes, we have to go to the hospital. ”
Jenny shook her head, "I don't want to go. ”
"No, you're in pain, I can see it." I said anxiously.
"No, it's just a little painful, I guess all I need is some medicine." "Besides, we don't have the money to go to the doctor," said Jenny. ”
...... No money
...... Doctor
......
I listened to these words, looked at the fine sweat on her forehead, and I don't know why, my wine woke up all at once, and my nose was a little sore, which was not a good sign, because ...... I started crying.
Tomorrow...... It's her birthday.
"Good...... Okay...... "I used all my strength to keep the tears from flowing, and at this time, I had to be strong: "Maybe some medicine is really enough, wait for me, I'll be back soon!" ”
I said, looking at her with a look that I thought was so determined, that was all I could give her now..... Then he ran out the door as fast as he could.
I don't even know how I got downstairs, I seemed to fall halfway through, but it didn't matter...... I rushed into the pharmacy across the road and rushed to the counter without hesitation.
"I ...... My wife is sick and he's pregnant, but she has a stomachache right now! I tried to keep my tone steady.
"You should go to the hospital." The doctor at the pharmacy said calmly.
"I know...... I know...... But can you please give me some medicine first? ”
I think I should have made it clear, because the man looked up at me, then pointed to a bottle of medicine from the long medicine shelf behind him.
"It's painkiller, but you know, pain relief isn't a cure, so it can only keep your wife going until tomorrow, and you still need to take her to the doctor." Again, he said lightly: "Two dollars." ”
"Good..... Okay......" I said panicked, and began rummaging through my pockets.
First, I pulled out a dollar, the only amount of money I had left.
Oh, my God.....
Oh my God......
I should be able to find a dollar.
For just one dollar!!!
Finally..... Sweating, I pulled the lipstick out of my pocket.
The doctor looked at me, and he seemed to be able to read what was going on in my mind.....
"I'm sorry sir." He held out two fingers.
"Please, I need this medicine! And this lipstick is definitely worth a dollar, if not more. "I don't know why, I cried, maybe my pores didn't supply the sweat anymore, or maybe I thought a little tear would make the doctor in front of me feel a little sympathy for me.
In short, my face twisted uncontrollably, and from the moment I was kicked out of the circus, the tears that began to hold back in my tear ducts finally came out of my eyes.
"I'm sorry, I can't give it to you, that would cost me my job." The man said.
His face began to twist in my eyes, and the bastard didn't know that there was a poor pregnant woman suffering from pain in that alley across the road.
"You bastard!"
I yelled angrily, and then I slammed my fist into the man......
I am a coward, and since I have a wife and children, I have been more careful, otherwise, I would not have cowered in the riots a few days ago, I have a family to support, this is my responsibility.
But at this moment, I clenched my fist frantically because of a dollar, and at this moment, I seemed to understand that no matter how calm a person is, there is a crazy side in his heart, and the reason why he can still maintain his sanity is only because this madness has not yet found a channel to release it.
I don't know how long I was fighting, but when I came back to my senses, the doctor was unconscious, and the medicine rack behind him was pushed up, and the scene was a mess.
But I didn't care about any of this, I was just glad that the bottle of medicine that belonged to me wasn't mixed with other medicines.
So, I happily held the bottle of medicine in my hand, and I didn't know why, I also subconsciously picked up the lipstick.
Then I rushed out the door.
At this moment, something in my heart seemed to start to stir......
What is it?
I do not know.
But at this time, I suddenly remembered the people who had just been in the bar.
Yes, with a small hand, I can make a lot of money.
That way, I will be able to afford Jenny's medical bills...... I was even able to change to a better place to live before my baby was born.
At the very least, what you see through the window is a road, not a wall......
