"You don't even know?! But yes, the old-timer told me that many young people don't know much about the deeds of this old director. Because he is very low-key and never wants to expose his private life to others, he naturally didn't mention it to you~"

She sent me a very proud emoji.

"Hee-hee, he must not have told you this! Now I know before you do. Ouyang Qian looked very superior.

Looking at the words on the computer screen, I silently told myself in my heart that I must ask my sister about this matter in person.

The next day, after I went upstairs to say hello to the teacher, I went to the shop downstairs to talk to the teacher.

When I saw her, she was clearing the goods with another clerk who was helping in the store.

I've always wondered why the teacher never ran a small shop with the teacher. Because it seems that I always see the busy figure of the teacher and other clerks in the small shop, I have never seen the teacher coming. Since I thought of this, I simply asked my sister directly.

"He, he always has his own things to do, and I don't care about him, anyway, there are several people in the small shop to help now, and I'm not so busy every day."

This is Shi Niang's answer.

She had already cleaned up her belongings, pulled me into the storage room, found two stools, and sat down with me.

"Is there something that Xiao Shao came to me for today?" The teacher took out a bottle of drink from the box and handed it to me.

I took my drink, opened the lid and took a symbolic sip, then said:

"Master, I want to ask you something. Don't be angry...... "I realized that the issue involved personal privacy, so my tone was slightly awkward.

"This kid, if you have any problems, just say it, I'm afraid that the teacher will kill you, why are you like a primary school student, cowering......" Seeing that I was speechless, the teacher's face was gloomy.

"Master, have you ever had any serious illness before?" I gritted my teeth and asked directly.

"Serious illness? You say me? Well...... Didn't that guy tell you, I thought he was so familiar with you, he should have told you, right? ”

I shook my head.

"No, my teacher and I hardly talk about these family matters in the police station."

"Oh...... That's right. Hehe, then why did you kid suddenly ask this question......" Shi Niang's face was a little bitter at the moment, as if she had touched those not very good memories of the past.

"That was in 1993, I had a serious illness. It's cancer. Breast cancer, hehe, I was only in my 20s at the time, and I happened to meet the company I worked for that year to organize a physical examination, and found a tumor in my body......"

I was shocked: it turned out to be cancer! Such a big thing happened to the teacher, but the teacher never told me about it!

But when I think about it, it doesn't seem like there's any need to tell us about it, after all, it's my own family who is sick, and there's no need to talk about it everywhere, as if I'm asking for comfort. What's more, a person like a teacher who doesn't want to see other people's faces alive, he won't be able to.

The old man was in a hurry, so he immediately asked for leave and came to his home, asked me to be hospitalized, and checked the spread of the tumor. However, it is a blessing in misfortune, the tumor in my body was fortunately detected relatively early, and it is not too serious. The doctor said that the tumor can be removed and then conservatively treated, and there is still a good chance of recovery. ”

Although I know that Shi Niang is in good health now, when I hear her state back then, my heart still rises to my throat.

"But...... Even so, the cost of medical care is quite high. The medicine is expensive, the surgery is expensive, and the hospitalization fee is also expensive, and the medical expenses of hundreds of thousands of yuan are still an astronomical amount for our family at that time! I said to the old man, or I will finish the operation, forget it, I will go home to maintain it myself, and don't be hospitalized."

She paused, and a warm smile appeared on her face, as if remembering the bitter and happy memories of the beginning.

"The old man told me that he must be treated, even if he goes to the street to ask for food in the future, he must pay for my treatment. He told me not to worry. At that time, I felt both happy and sad. I think the man in front of me loves me so much, but our family's financial situation really can't support my medical bills,"

"Later, I don't know how he used to scrape together the money for surgery and cancer treatment, but I was still hospitalized for surgery and treatment, and I am recovering very well. In less than a year of treatment, the tumor disappeared completely, and I was cured and discharged from the hospital. ”

After listening to the teacher's description, I have a little more respect for the teacher in my heart. Never abandon your lover in the face of a serious illness, this is the responsibility of a real man.

But a question crept up on my mind, and I suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"Master, have you ever asked the teacher how he got the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent treating your illness back then?" I asked.

Shi Niang looked at me and said with a puzzled face:

"I've always been curious. I asked him, but he said that he had borrowed money from the bank, and he said that because he was a police officer, he pleaded with some high-ranking officials to allow him to borrow a little more money from the bank to pay for his medical expenses. The rest of the money will be paid back slowly,"

"You believed him at the time?"

"He is my husband, the man who will be with me for the rest of my life, and the man who will never leave me when I have cancer, and I have no reason not to trust him."

Shi Niang looked at me with a determined light in her eyes.

Seeing the serious look on my mother's face, I nodded and didn't continue to ask, but I already had my own answer in my heart.

From Shi Niang's description, it can be seen that she has infinite trust in this man. Two people who look together for a long time, suspicion is the biggest enemy.

But...... Whether it was the sky-high expenses needed to treat his wife who was suffering from cancer, or the expenses that the teacher later needed to help the dozen or so children, it was not something that an ordinary police family could easily get.

And...... When Shi Niang was sick, she happened to be stuck near the turning point of the abduction case (1993), when the teacher had just arrested the "missing brother" and obtained a confession, but because he could not contact his superiors, he could not continue the later investigation. It is at this time that the teacher needs this money the most!

There must be something wrong with the teacher. But I decided to keep it in my heart for the first time, and I didn't want to startle the snake.
