Chapter 78: Two Men in the Swamp
Wen Jiu hurriedly stopped talking and said very apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it." ”
Having said that, she was still curious......
Lu Jing's grandfather was the richest man ten years ago, and he had a son and a grandson.
How could Lu Jing be like a little beggar, running helplessly all over the street when his mother was sick?
Lu Jing looked at Wen Jiu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and guessed what she was curious about.
Actually, it's okay to ask directly.
It's been ten years, and my mother wants him to be relieved.
Moreover, he is also willing to share everything about him with Wen Jiu.
He took the initiative to confess: "When I was five years old, my father was demoted by my grandfather because he messed up a large project of star fruit. ”
"He had a hard temper and refused to accept his grandfather's arrangement, so he took our family to cut off relations with his grandfather and went out to start a business with a lot of savings."
"And then?" Wen Jiu listened attentively.
It seems to be the same as eight years ago.
Eight years ago, she told him all her joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
Now, she is also listening to his joys and sorrows, loves and hates.
Lu Jing tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a bit of bitterness in his smile.
"If he fails in one line of work, our family will become poorer and poorer."
"My mother worked hard with him, got a stomach problem, and then slowly evolved from stomach disease to stomach cancer, and finally it was out of control......"
When Lu Jing said this, his deep eyes burned straight on Wen Jiu's body: "So you have to take good care of yourself, don't pay attention to it just because it's just that the stomach disease is not serious now." ”
At this point, his throat moved, and he stopped the following words.
Wen Jiu touched the warm Chinese medicine bag on his stomach and nodded: "I will take good care of myself." ”
She was still curious: "That...... When you first found out that your mother was cancer, didn't you go back to your grandfather? ”
In today's era, although cancer cannot be 100% conquered, it is easy to turn malignant into good and benign cure.
And now that medicine is proliferating, it will prolong the life of cancer patients without making them too painful.
It's just that you have to ask for money, and you have to ask for a lot of money.
Those drugs that inhibit cell division are very expensive.
But no matter how expensive it is, for Lu Zhaoxiong, it is a drop in the bucket.
As long as Lu Jing's father goes back to admit his mistake to Lu Zhaoxiong, I believe that he will not save his daughter-in-law when he sees death.
Lu Jing shook his head, his quiet eyes were a little cool: "My father has a hard temper, and he doesn't want to turn back and apologize." ”
"And I was too young when I left, and my dad didn't let me contact my grandfather at all, and I didn't have any contact information for him. I could only sneak to Beicheng alone to beg my grandfather, and someone stole my wallet on the way...... Then I met you. ”
There was nothing pessimistic about his voice, it sounded like a flat and straightforward narrative.
But Wen Jiu couldn't help but have a sour nose.
She can imagine how helpless a thirteen-year-old child, full of hope to save his mother, has traveled all the way to such a big city, and in the end he is penniless and unable to contact his relatives.
She is also extremely glad that she has not been hurt back then.
She is still an optimistic and kind little girl, who can lend a helping hand when she meets him in need.
If it weren't for that time, she would have closed herself off, and even if she saw someone in need, she would not dare to stand up.
It took her a moment to stop her tears, and then she asked, "Did you find your grandfather later?" ”
"Nope. Not long after you gave me a thousand yuan, my father informed me that my mother was dying, so I had to give up asking my grandfather for help and hurry back to see my mother. ”
"After my mother died, the family's money was not enough for the funeral. The 1,000 yuan you gave me happened to have some left, so I bought a ticket and ran to Beicheng again, and I was lucky to finally meet my grandfather. ”
"Later, my grandfather held my mother's funeral and took me back to him."
In fact, at that time, he wanted to find Wen Jiu immediately.
But Wen Jiu's school is a very good public school, and he can't get into it with money, so he can only be admitted.
Before, Lu Jing often skipped class to go home to take care of his mother, so his grades couldn't keep up.
So he spent another two years studying in other schools, and finally got in the year when Wen Jiu was about to graduate.
This is his and her past.
Nothing vigorous.
It's just two people who fell into the quagmire one after the other, stretching out their hands to pull each other.
Wen Jiu listened to his parents' affairs and had mixed feelings.
She sympathized with Lu Jing again, and was angry with his father.
What kind of dog man is this who wants to die and live to suffer!
It's not that I couldn't save my wife back then!
Go back and kowtow to his richest father and admit his mistake, won't he be able to get the money to save his wife?!
That's right, men do have to be driven, driven, and backbone.
But a man who has no ability has these qualities, and that is an impulsive fool!
Let your family suffer alive!
But Wen Jiu couldn't scold his father directly in front of Lu Jing.
She could only say distressedly: "You have suffered a lot." ”
Lu Jing looked at Wen Jiu's eyes, warm and clear.
Yes, he used to suffer a lot.
But from the moment he met Wen Jiu, his life was not so miserable.
He smiled and said, "If it weren't for the thousand dollars you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to rush back to see my mother for the last time." Thank you. ”
Wen Jiu also smiled: "What thank you do you say to me?" That thousand dollars in exchange for your company for a whole year, if you have to count, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be alone at school, and maybe I wouldn't be able to make it on. ”
Looking at her warm and soft gaze, Lu Jing suddenly felt an impulse...... I want to confess to her now!
told her that his feelings for her had slowly deteriorated in the company of the year.
He was already very fond of her at that time.
By now, his feelings for her have deteriorated to the point that he can't control it.
But just when his impulse was about to rush out, Wen Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said righteously: "I think it's worth it for a thousand yuan in exchange for a best friend in life like you!" ”
Life...... Friend......
After being silent for a few seconds, Lu Jing held back the urge to confess.
Forget it.
Let's lay the groundwork again.
But he wanted to charge interest first.
Now Wen Jiu is full of sympathy for him, presumably if he asks anything too much, she will agree.
So he plucked up the courage to ask, "Senior sister, can I ...... Can I hug you? ”
This is what he has wanted to do since eight years ago.
I finally have the courage to speak up today.
He nervously waited for Wen Jiu's response.
Wen Jiu didn't say anything, took the initiative to approach him and hugged him.
The temperature of the embrace filled Lu Jing's heart little by little.
Ten years ago, before his mother died, she took his hand and told him: "If you walk slowly on the road of life, there will be others who love you." ”
He felt that Wen Jiu was a gift from his mother.
Let him have a little warmth in this cold world.
……
Outside the door, Wen Hua and Yu Xiayu, who came back from eating, stood at the door in a daze, watching this scene in disbelief.
Especially Wen Hua...... His good brother and his daughter? What's going on?
