Childhood

Next Chapter

"Pay back! Pay it back! Outside the building of Company Z, all kinds of debt collection banners were pulled, thousands of people gathered downstairs, and several loudspeakers played in a loop at the highest volume: "Unscrupulous merchants, arrears of wages, pay back!" and other slogans.

Xu Wei was upstairs calling her father's friend to borrow money, while looking at the crowd downstairs, feeling anxious and helpless.

At this critical moment, only a few uncles who had a deep friendship with their father were willing to lend a hand and lend Xu Wei hundreds of thousands. For a debt of 200 million, it is a drop in the bucket.

"Hey, Uncle Xu, I'm Xu Wei!"

"Oh, Xu Wei, what's the matter?"

"My dad's company went bankrupt, and now it's all debt collection outside. I want to borrow some money from you. ”

"What? Don't worry, I'm in a meeting right now, I'll call you back later. ”

Then there was a blind tone, obviously there was music and the noise of the crowd on the other party's phone, and even the excuses were so perfunctory.

This is the tenth person who rejected Xu Wei today, but Xu Wei still did not lose heart, and called one by one according to the numbers on the list.

A few days ago, I sold all my house and car, plus the money borrowed by relatives and friends, and settled some of the employees' money, otherwise there were twice as many people downstairs as today.

At this moment of crisis, Xu Wei can be regarded as seeing how many friends her father has.

At 10 o'clock at night, most of the people outside dispersed, and some people were still afraid that Xu Wei would run away and set up tents downstairs to sleep. Xu Wei, who had been busy all day, didn't even take a sip of water.

finally turned to the last page of the list, there was a name on it that was very familiar, Xu Wei's closest but least troublesome person.

That person is Xu Wei's childhood sweetheart, Lin Sheng. Previously, Xu Wei's father and Lin Sheng's father worked in the same company. Xu Wei's father slandered Lin's father for embezzling the company's finances because of his promotion. Since then, the two families have severed their relationship.

The phone is connected,

"Hey, hello."

"Lin Sheng"

"What's the matter?"

"I want to borrow some money from you"

"How much"

"One hundred million"

。。。 Silence for a minute

"It's okay if you don't borrow it, excuse me." Xu Wei saw that the other party did not react, and said a little embarrassed.

"Is the bank card that was given to you still there?"

"In" Lin Sheng gave Xu Wei a bank card before moving, saying that if Xu Wei had an emergency, he could swipe the money inside. But Xu Wei has never used it out of guilt, and she has not seen how much money is in it.

"There are 200 million in it, you can use it first."

"Not so much."

"Pay off the debt first, and you can keep the rest for your daily use."

"Thank you."

Lin Sheng hung up the phone. Xu Wei used the money in the bank card to pay off all the debts, and the crowd under the company building finally dispersed. Since her father fell ill, Xu Wei's heart has never been so relaxed.

I didn't eat for a day, and Xu Wei didn't feel hungry. After repaying all the money, there was still 80 million left in the card, Xu Wei remembered that her father's medical bills had not been paid, so she washed her face and hurried to the hospital.

"Di Di Di", before Xu Wei could react, the piercing car horn sounded. The dazzling light made Xu Wei unable to open her eyes, and the tire and the ground made a "squeak" friction sound when braking.

Fortunately, the car stopped in time in front of Xu Wei. Xu Wei fainted in front of the car due to extreme nervousness and exhaustion.

"Damn, it won't be porcelain!" The man sitting in the Maserati swore while slapping the steering wheel. His blond hair was messy, like a fried lion cub.

got out of the car and walked in front of Xu Wei, and said scoldingly: "Don't you want to live anymore, pit money on my head." ”

pinched Xu Wei's face, "Pretend, hurry up." Seeing that she didn't react, her white and tender face was red at this time, playful and cute. Dye Qi looked a little dazed, and touched the girl's forehead with her hand, which was a little hot.

Without saying a word, Dye Qi carried the girl to the passenger seat of the car and took her to a nearby hospital.

In the ward, Xu Wei was lying on the bed in the single room, one bottle of potion had been hung, and there were still two bottles left. Xu Wei slowly opened her eyes, the white roof and soft lighting made her think she was in heaven.

Looking around, I saw a man in casual clothes sitting on a sofa not far away, playing a game with a tablet. After a few moves, I realized that I was on a drip.

The man seemed to notice that Xu Wei was awake, so he came over and said, "Are you awake?" Xu Wei nodded. When I sat up from the hospital bed, I found myself in a hospital gown, and I was a little stunned.

"Don't worry, this is what the nurse changed for you. Wait for the drops to finish the drops and you can be discharged. ”

"Thank you"

Silent......

"My name is Ranqi, and I almost hit you at the intersection of Minai Road today. You may have been frightened and fainted on the road. ”

"My name is Xu Wei, thank you."

Dye Qi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's also my honor to meet such a beautiful beauty." ”

Xu Wei smiled awkwardly. There was silence in the ward, and Dye Qi left early because of something. After the dropping of the potion, Xu Wei went to the payment window to pay, and found that someone had already helped her pay her medical bills, Xu Wei smiled helplessly, and owed someone a favor.

After Xu Wei and her father's attending doctor learned about the condition, they took the payment slip to the payment window to pay the fee, and the ICU ward cost four or five thousand a day. Now Xu's father has stayed for five days, and he has spent 50 million yuan on the operation fee. The doctor said that his condition is still unstable, and there may be a sudden situation at any time that is life-threatening.

Xu Wei paid the fee and went to the ICU ward to see her father, who had just escaped the danger of his life, and still had several tubes inserted in his body. Seeing that he was usually healthy and lying motionless on the bed at this time, if it weren't for the electrocardiogram, I wouldn't know if he was dead or alive at this time. Xu Wei, who had endured it for a long time, finally couldn't help it anymore and cried bitterly in front of her father.

In the past few days, she has been busy with debts, and she has been pretending to be strong and calm. However, it was also the first time she had faced difficulties alone. From childhood to adulthood, her father held her in the palm of his hand, and in her life there was only sweetness and no bitterness.

After crying, Xu Wei calmed down and thought about her future life. Now that my father's life and death are undecided, even if he recovers in the future, he will most likely become a vegetative person. Xu Wei's stepmother flew abroad with her daughter and private money. The burden of life was all on Xu Wei's body at once.

She had to be calm and she had to work to keep herself alive. After washing her face in the bathroom, she went outside and ordered a porridge to drink.

The most indispensable thing in the hospital is tears, and the people sitting near Xu Wei are basically the family members of the patients, with a trace of sadness on their faces. Some talk about their patients' conditions, and some talk about not being able to pay for the medical bills and cry while talking. Looking at them, Xu Wei felt that she was lucky that she still had money to hospitalize her father for treatment.
