"You said it very well, Wen Min, you are really sensible, if you were my daughter, how good it would be." Zeng would look at her, a little distressed, she is also a woman, how can she not see that Xu Wenmin's cheap dress and the calluses in her hands due to long-term farm work are revealing the suffering of this girl's life.

Although the fate was difficult, Xu Wenmin said modestly: "Auntie, I'm not as good as you think, besides, Bai Yaolong... He's pretty good, too. ”

Of course, she didn't know that Bai Yaolong was not good, at least in her eyes, those who couldn't read well were not considered excellent, but she couldn't really say that he was rubbish, so she had to say it against her will.

How could someone who had been so observant not know that she was comforting herself, but she could only say helplessly: "Just him, he almost took out my heart attack and my father's heart attack several times, if he had half of you, no, a finger so sensible, I wouldn't be here today." ”

Xu Wenmin didn't expect that Bai Yaolong's mother was not only easy-going, but also a little humorous, and smiled when she said this, Bai Yaolong saw that she had laughed for the first time since she was at this dinner, and he also smirked.

"Okay, Auntie won't force you anymore, but I still have to tell you something, you have to know this."

Xu Wenmin saw that Zeng would turn his face serious again, and replied seriously: "Say it, Auntie." ”

Zeng Hui nodded, and continued: "Wen Min, although this is bad news, I still feel the need to tell you. ”

She paused, watching her well-spoken mother stop and organize the language, Bai Yaolong couldn't help but be a little worried, and listened carefully.

Zeng Hui thought for a while and continued: "I don't know if your mother's illness has been seen in a big hospital, but I consulted my doctor friend before I came, and he told me that your mother should be suffering from liver disease, this disease cannot be delayed, and must be immediately admitted to the hospital for examination and treatment. ”

Hearing the news, Xu Wenmin's face, which was still a little smiling just now, became dim again, but she still said strongly:

"The last time we went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor was similar to what you said, saying that the treatment can be treated, but in the early stage, we must be hospitalized for treatment, and then after the condition is stable, we will say what antiviral treatment we will do, and we need to take medicine and injections for life, even if we don't count the previous treatment costs, the medical expenses for a month will be more than 800, and we will have to go for regular physical examinations or something."

Speaking of this, Xu Wenmin's face was already very ugly, but she still hesitated for a moment and continued: "Last time we went to the hospital for more than two months, the family has spent all the money, and we can't afford the more than 800 medicine dollars per month in the future. ”

800 yuan per month, which is less than a fraction of some people's mortgages in the case of over-issuance of currency in later generations, but in 2001, the income of ordinary people's teachers was only about 1,200 yuan, so not to mention that for rural people like Xu Wenmin, even a working family like the second uncle and them can't bear it.

"And how is your mother doing now?" This time it was Bai Yaolong who inquired.

Xu Wenmin shook his head, and continued with some sadness: "After the last hospitalization, my mother has been in better health, but recently she has begun to feel abdominal pain again, but it is only a dull pain, and she can still persevere." ”

Zeng was sad to see her, and patted her on the back, and then took out the 10,000 yuan bank card from the bag again and stuffed it into Xu Wenmin's hand, Xu Wenmin didn't understand what she meant, but he resolutely refused to ask for it, Zeng Hui forcibly stuffed it into her hand and said: "Wenmin, you take it first, let me finish speaking." ”

"People often say that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and we are businessmen, more or less believe in a little life, since you and I are destined, no matter what, I can't see death without saving, and you now obviously have the opportunity to save your mother, but give up, this is unfilial piety, do you understand?" Zeng would hold Xu Wenmin's hand, afraid that she would return the card again.

And Bai Yaolong, who was on the side, also persuaded: "Yes, Wen Min, everyone has times when they encounter difficulties, if it is an ordinary difficulty, we will grit our teeth and carry it over, but now it is a matter of human life, you also heard the doctor say that this disease will only get worse and worse, do you want to watch your mother leave you?" ”

The persuasion of the two made Xu Wenmin even more painful, after all, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, and the original biggest pillar of the family had passed away, so she actually had nothing to do in the face of her mother's illness.

"If my mother's condition deteriorates, I plan to give up my studies and go to work." This is the only way Xu Wenmin can think of.

But when she said this, Bai Yaolong next to her immediately remembered her last tragic ending, the powerless sense of regret in her heart and the fear that she might face a repeat of fate again, which made him stand up excitedly and shouted: "No, absolutely not, I won't let you go to work even if I die!" ”

He got up excitedly and accidentally broke a ceramic water cup, Xu Wenmin and Zeng saw him with a roar like an angry lion, and he was also startled, and he didn't understand why he reacted so much.

But Bai Yaolong couldn't care about the incomprehension of the two, his appearance was like a burning earth at this time, but his heart was like a monstrous flood, with some indescribable internal and external suffering.

Rao is like this, he still came to Xu Wenmin's side with a slightly trembling body, knelt down on one knee and took one of her hands and said: "Wenmin, please, don't go to work no matter what, I will definitely think of a way, don't go to work, please promise me." ”

His sudden scene made Xu Wenmin and Zeng Hui feel shocked and unclear.

Xu Wenmin's little hand was clasped by Bai Yaolong, so that she couldn't break free, she was embarrassed by this forced hand-holding, her heartbeat was like a high-powered engine, unstoppable beating, and a flush was like a surging flood, which quickly swept from the root of her ears to her blush.

She could feel the hands holding her trembling, and through the heat of the palms, she could feel the heartbeat of the man kneeling on one knee in front of her, as if he would lose everything if she let go.

Zeng Hui on the side was also stunned at this time, she couldn't understand why her son would be so excited to pose like a marriage proposal after hearing Xu Wenmin's words that he was going to work, and begged the other party not to go to work, as if he was about to lose his favorite toy when he was a child, and he hadn't seen his son have such a painful expression for many years.
