Chapter 189: IOU

After the age of 15, in addition to studying and studying, Feifei also began to work to earn money to subsidize his family, which has a bit of his hard work and hard work.

The only difference is that he allocates his time reasonably, works and studies at the same time, and even studies when he works, and the purpose of making money is not only to reduce the burden on his grandparents, but also to be able to study better.

Paying tuition, buying materials, and learning more upscale and deeper things, and all of these all cost money!

But Feifei is different, working to make money seems to have become her primary goal, as for studying, she has a sense of laissez-faire.

Sure enough, her grades declined, but she didn't plummet, she just stopped standing out and was firmly at the top of the list.

In the eyes of her classmates, she is still an excellent three-good student, but she is too inferior to her before.

Fortunately, she also realized this problem, so she began to make up for her studies again, but she only wanted to be able to occupy a place in scholarships and grants, no matter how much she could get, but at least she couldn't fall out of the competition.

For her, studying is also just to "make money" and earn that pitiful scholarship.

Why Read? What is learning for?

Everyone knows that in addition to knowing etiquette, righteousness and shame, it is also for success and to make a lot of money.

However, this method is too long and slow, and it needs to be taken one step at a time, slowly climbing up, just like him.

But Feifei can't wait, and Aunt Zheng's illness can't wait.

What she needs is money, cash, and the more the better, rather than continuing to pursue a bright but illusory future.

Her future, even her dreams, was no longer looking forward to it, imagining it, and no longer looking forward to it as early as the moment Aunt Zheng fell ill.

Her bright eyes have been dimmed ever since, giving people a sense of heaviness without a trace of hope.

She was laughing, but he could no longer feel her joy;

Her voice was still sweet, but the crispness of the silver bell was gone, replaced by the dryness and astringency of the shell.

……

Finally, what they were worried about still happened, Aunt Zheng's illness recurred after half a year, or worsened, and this time was the beginning of their family's dire situation.

Feifei said that she would not let Aunt Zheng be discharged from the hospital this time, and she had to receive complete treatment from the hospital, and she could only be discharged when the doctor said that she could be discharged.

Aunt Zheng didn't insist this time, because she couldn't do it, she didn't have the strength to get up and leave, and the cancer cells took all the strength in her body.

……

With one less source of money for the family, coupled with bottomless medical expenses, the family's savings are drastically decreasing.

Feifei even started working three jobs, working day and night.

In addition to studying and working, she now has one more task: to take care of Aunt Zheng.

This year, she was a lot haggard, and the 16-year-old girl dressed up in ordinary clothes every day, wearing a yellowed T-shirt and washed white jeans.

Their family is now visibly poor, and it can even be said that they are the poorest people in the community.

If it weren't for Feifei's beautiful appearance and likable personality, most people wouldn't even want to say a word to her again, so as not to be contaminated!

At the age of 24, he is no longer the small department manager, and in four years, he has been the head of the company.

He was the only one who lent a helping hand to Aunt Zheng's family, Feifei thanked him very much, but he didn't care, because he didn't need her thanks and gratitude, he just wanted to make her happy, he just wanted her to regain that silver bell-like smile.

But he is not a fairy, he can't make Aunt Zheng lively and vibrant, what he can do is to lighten her burden and make her not so tired.

Every time he saw her delicate shoulders, every time he thought of the burden that weighed on her, his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.

He wanted to give her a warm embrace, but he didn't dare, he was afraid that he would frighten her, after all, she was only 16 years old!

Moreover, although he has been promoted and raised, he can barely be regarded as a young man, but he does not have much savings, especially in the face of expensive cancer treatment costs, his assistance is just a drop in the bucket, far from reaching once and for all, without scruples.

This also shows that he is not strong enough!

Therefore, he was not qualified to hug her, let alone say the words of taking care of her all his life, because the difficulties she faced could not be solved by him at that time.

There was no too much persuasion and relief, just silently by her side, feeling the pressure and pain she was bearing.

Promise, if you can't do it, don't say it easily.

So, he worked even harder, desperately climbing up, in order to have the ability and qualifications to embrace her as soon as possible.

Time is running out, he doesn't dare to relax for a moment!

……

Another year has passed, Aunt Zheng's illness is getting more and more serious, the cancer cells have spread, causing many other large and small diseases, her body is not as good as day by day, her face is yellow and thin, like skin and bones, she is only in her early 40s, and she looks much older than his grandmother.

He doesn't even have the ability to eat, and can only rely on nutrient solution to maintain his life function, in other words, hanging his life.

In the past two years, she has been in and out of the hospital many times, and the interval between the onset of the disease has become shorter and shorter, over and over again, and over again, and in the end, it can even be said that she is directly in the hospital.

Finally, Feifei was overwhelmed and resolutely chose to drop out of school, he persuaded him, but it was useless.

As for Aunt Zheng, she didn't know about it at all, Feifei didn't dare to tell her at all, and he naturally wouldn't say it.

But there are so many people in the community, and there are always a few big mouths that are not pleasing to the eye, so it didn't take long for Aunt Zheng to know about Feifei's dropout of school, and Aunt Zheng fainted directly in anger and was sent to the rescue room overnight.

That time, he stayed with her in the hospital all night and waited all night, he even thought that Zheng Ling might not survive, but Feifei did not give up, the hope in her eyes was revived, and she always believed that her mother could tide over the difficulties.

8 hours, they waited for a full 8 hours, although they were a little tired, but fortunately, they got good news, the rescue was successful, and Aunt Zheng was fine.

But at this moment of relaxation, Feifei also fainted.

It was the first time he had hugged her, or the first time he had touched her so intimately.

She is very light, as light as a wing, enough to see how hard she has lived in the past two years, and her originally full goose egg face has become a melon seed face.

Her body is very soft, although thin, but not the kind of bamboo pole thin, 17 years old, she is well developed, and her delicate body is full of elasticity.

Although the dress was ordinary, the faint fragrance on his body still did not change, and as the distance dragged in, it rushed into his snort.

But he didn't have the energy to experience that beautiful feeling, because the moment she fainted, his heart suddenly stopped for a moment.

He was frightened, and ran down the corridor with her in his arms, screaming doctor, doctor, like a wild beast roaring in a rage, uncontrolled riot.

This is the second time in his life that he has lost control of his emotions, the first time was a year ago, when his grandfather left him forever.

……

After waking up, Feifei immediately went to accompany Zheng Ling, crying and apologizing to her, and kept saying sorry, but never mentioned the matter of returning to school, obviously, she made up her mind.

Aunt Zheng also burst into tears, but she said that she didn't blame Feifei, she was just angry with herself, and it was because of her Feifei that she suffered so much.

The two mothers hugged their heads and cried, but the seemingly miserable life always had an enviable emotional warmth, that is, love, their love and cherishment of each other.

Even if she is tired, it can't stop her daughter's determination to save her mother;

Even if it is painful, it cannot take away the mother's reluctance and cherishment for her daughter.

……

Although Aunt Zheng's illness caught him and Feifei off guard, he was very relieved, because it seemed to have become another way for them to enhance their relationship, that is, to take care of Aunt Zheng together.

So Feifei dropped out of school and he was not too disappointed, although he couldn't discuss and study together, but there was still the bond of Aunt Zheng.

Their relationship has indeed become more intimate, of course, the intimacy in Feifei's eyes and the intimacy in his eyes will certainly not be the same concept.

But he doesn't care, now Feifei is full of money, Aunt Zheng, medical expenses, these keywords, have no intention of anything else, so he is not in a hurry.

Gradually, Feifei will confide in him, share his thoughts with him, and completely treat him as a close person, in his impression, only Yan Lingya in the community has this treatment.

If Yan Ling is Feifei's bosom sister, then he can be regarded as Feifei's bosom brother.

He's happy about that, and it's a little different from what he thought it was going, but it's still a good start.

……

However, just as he fell into the carnival surprise, the blow also came, it was an IOU.

Looking at this IOU, he deeply felt a sense of powerlessness, he hated himself for being incompetent, hating himself for not being strong enough.

The pale paper, the beautiful and strong font, the personalized signature, and the two most eye-catching big characters - IOU!

His heart sank suddenly, "Feifei, you are ......"

She smiled indifferently and calmly, "Brother Jincheng, thank you really for your help to our family in the past two years."

In fact, this IOU should have been given to you a long time ago, but I was not very sensible at the time, thinking that someone would help and be willing to help me, I naturally had to accept it gladly, after all, it was more important than anything else to save my mother's life.

But I didn't take it for granted, and I didn't accept it with peace of mind, and I thought I would pay it back to you later.

But this kind of self-righteous belief that there is no protection, and now that I have entered the society, I have understood a lot of principles for living in the world.

So please accept this IOU, although it is two years late, I still want to give it to you.

It's all the help you've done to my mom in the past two years, and I keep every single one of them in my heart, and although it may take ten or even decades to pay it back, I will definitely pay it back......"

Listening to her words, his mood became even more dull, he wanted to say a word that he didn't have to pay back, but looking at her firm and serious eyes, he couldn't say three words at all.

After all, it's 200,000, why shouldn't he?

Feifei is not stupid, once he says no, anyone with a bit of intelligence knows what that means.

Feifei has grown up, but his feelings for him have never taken a step beyond that of his brother and relatives, and his original full confidence has been gradually eroded in the past two years.

So, he coaxed!

He didn't dare to bet, he was afraid that his liking would be just a distorted and perverted liking in her eyes, he was afraid of scaring her, he was afraid that she would alienate him and stay away from him, so he accepted her IOU.

His mood was complicated, but another thought had sprung up in him, one that was extremely filthy and despicable......
