Chapter 64: Lin Feng borrowed money
Liu Hao went upstairs to check his mother's pulse again, and then helped him out of the house.
Liu Hao took his parents and left the noisy city and drove to his hometown more than 100 kilometers away.
This is an ordinary southern mountain village, there is basically no industry around, the degree of development is very low, and it can be called green mountains and green waters. As the car travels through the countryside, the beautiful pictures of the countryside slowly unfold......
Liu Hao's mood also slowly improved.
In the village where Liu Hao's hometown is located, most of the houses are already small buildings, and his house is in the depths of the village, close to the mountains, and it is still an old-fashioned small courtyard pattern, and some old traces can be seen between the beams and columns. Liu Hao mentioned to his parents several times that he wanted to build a new building, but he was always sternly rejected by his parents, and his wife Gu Lan always pretended not to hear, so it was impossible to rebuild. However, in the past two years, Liu Hao felt relieved that he spent money and did not use his wife's money, but did reinforcement and renovation, which looked good overall.
Once when Liu Hao brought Gu Lan back for the first time, the house was much worse than most people in the village, and Gu Lan also asked why she didn't build a small building, as if it didn't cost money to build a building, and her words embarrassed the family.
If you don't eat minced meat, how can you say irony?
When the car stopped at the door of his small courtyard, Liu Hao also left the past behind, and was busy greeting his neighbors while carrying the things on the car to his home.
But some people always can't see that others are happy, and keep asking why their daughters-in-law don't come back together, as if they can't see that people are not coming.
Liu Hao knew what they were thinking, and he still replied amiably one by one: "Uncle and aunt, Lan Lan is busy with work and can't ask for leave, otherwise, she will come back with us." ”
"She's been busy lately."
"I said I was coming, but something dragged on again."
……
Liu Hao's inner pain is indescribable, rural people are like this, they like to gossip, but in order for their parents not to be disturbed by their discussions, Liu Hao still needs to explain.
What's worse is that the next time I come back, I should have divorced my wife, and I can't even say this excuse.
People in the countryside don't understand the situation, and when you marry a girl in the city, they say that you have the ability; If you get divorced, no matter who is right or wrong, and no matter who files for divorce first, the people in the village will definitely laugh at you and can't keep your wife.
It's usually like, "Look, look, I said, it's not going to last long." ”
"If you want to climb a high branch, you have fallen!"
"The girl in the city is very clean, her trouser legs and mud haven't fallen off, and she still wants to go to someone's kang."
But the actual situation, who listens to your explanation?
After lunch, Liu Hao and his father sat in the courtyard, while boiling tea in the ancient way, chatting, from time to time the elders and neighbors in the village came to inquire about the condition, Liu Hao smoked one by one, and chatted with each other.
It's just stealing half a day's leisure!
During this period, Wu Yuqing sent a few videos, competing with a few colleagues to see the rural scene, which added a bit of fun.
His wife, Gu Lan, just sent a message to ask if she had arrived, and there was no more news.
Liu Hao couldn't help but think about it, his wife was afraid that he didn't care about his safety or not, but whether he was gone.
When it was almost time to have dinner in the evening, the village chief came, and Liu Hao learned that his childhood best friend Lin Feng's business failed, and the house and savings were cheated away by his wife and adulterer, and his father was sick and hospitalized in a desperate situation, and the medical expenses needed 100,000 yuan.
Father Liu sighed and said: "The house in the village costs money when it is built, but it is not worth it when it is sold, and there is no place to settle down after selling it cheaply." ”
Liu Hao came to see the village chief's uncle, drank a few drinks with him, pondered for a while, and asked:
"Uncle Village Chief, where has Lin Feng gone now?"
"He, he's going back to the county hospital, and he can't pay the money tonight, I'm afraid he's going to be kicked out." The village chief said.
"Dad, Uncle Village Chief, you talk, I'll go out."
After Liu Hao finished speaking, he went into the house and picked up his bag, said hello to everyone, and went out.
Lin Feng got off the dilapidated Santana, and his mind kept echoing, the price offered by the village chief to the people who needed to build a house, a new house like his family is not considered decoration, at least more than 200,000 yuan, but the person who said the family only gave him 50,000 yuan at a low price, and it was not enough to pay his father's hospitalization fee if he sold it.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, took out his mobile phone with trembling hands, and dialed his ex-wife again.
This time, it was finally not turned off, but quickly connected: "What's the matter, aren't we divorced?" ”
"My dad is hospitalized, it takes 100,000 yuan for surgery, we are husband and wife, please lend me 100,000 yuan, I will pay it back, I will pay it back to you for cattle and horses, I promise!"
"Your guarantee is worthless."
Then there was a "beep" sound from the microphone, which made Lin Feng's words stuck in his throat, Lin Feng already knew that his ex-wife couldn't count on it, and this result was not unexpected and disappointing.
But he believed in the wrong person, and he planted this curse.
Kind people always overestimate the bottom line of others, thus putting themselves in some kind of bondage, which can bring happiness and also generate endless difficulties.
But where can I get the money? Who can borrow 100,000 yuan from themselves?
Lin Feng thought......
Liu Hao, no! You can't borrow it from him.
First of all, he stayed in the city mostly relying on the woman, which is considered a son-in-law, and his own house was repaired and repaired, and there was no new building, and he heard that the business was bleak and was in transition, and he took his mother for treatment these days, where is the money to borrow, and he is embarrassed by opening his mouth.
Secondly, he and Liu Hao are childhood playmates, and they have a sincere feeling, if you take this feeling as a belief and recall the beauty of childhood, it is very good; But it is definitely a test to travel through time with this beauty, in order to change your current predicament and the status quo of your life.
Therefore, he chooses to cherish this beauty and not destroy it!
When a person is in some kind of predicament, he thinks about others and is obviously a kind person.
Her mother went early, and now her father is sick and needs to be hospitalized, and her only sister is in college, and she can't tell her the news of her father's hospitalization.
Lin Feng regretted that he owed his father and sister too much, and in the past two years of marriage, he bought a car and a house for the sake of a small family. On the contrary, his father did not want him to take care of his sister's tuition, saying that he was afraid of conflicts between their husband and wife.
Before the business failed, he could have taken out 100,000 yuan casually, but now, all the money on his body is combined, and he doesn't even have 1,000 yuan.
Lin Feng was thirsty, walked to the small supermarket on the side of the road and bought a bottle of mineral water, Lin Feng sat on the flower stand in front of the hospital and was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, took out the phone and began to look through the phone book.
When he was wealthy, he also borrowed money from others, all of whom were close relatives, friends, classmates and business partners.
"Da Zhang, I'm Lin Feng, that's the case, my dad is sick and needs a sum of money now."
"What? You can't afford to lend......"
"Mr. Lin, I've been short of money lately, do you think it will only take a few days?"
"You're also strapped for money? Still taking out a loan? ”
"Xiao Liu, how is your business lately? Oh, can you turn around some money for me urgently, my dad is hospitalized. ”
"What? Business is not good......"
"Brother Lin, little brother, isn't this running for a loan, or there are a thousand here, you can use it first?"
……
One phone call after another, but Lin Fei's mood became more and more depressed and painful......
Now Lin Feng is staring at the abyss, and the abyss is also staring at him!
He had helped and owed him money, but at this moment, none of them wanted to lend him money.
All kinds of excuses, paying off the mortgage, the card being held by the wife, the children going abroad, and so on, in a word: you can do anything, you can't borrow money!
Lin Feng had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't open his mouth to borrow money, you really don't know how many friends you have?
He remembered his previous life, he cared about the decency of others, he was strong, he was faithful, and he was righteous, but these things did not bring him any good, but he suffered everything.
At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang with a message prompt:
"Dear Mr. Lin Feng, today is your birthday, and the mobile company hereby wishes you a happy birthday!"
Lin Feng was even more bitter in his heart, today is his birthday, what kind of day is he living?
If my father couldn't pay his hospitalization fee, he didn't dare to go upstairs to accompany his father, for fear that the nurse would see him and even his father would be kicked out.
Lin Feng muttered to himself, suddenly he had the urge to cry, this birthday is probably the most difficult day in his life, a shit life!
Lin Feng looked up at the starry sky, tears were already hanging on his cheeks unconsciously, no matter how high his head was raised, he couldn't go back, as if he couldn't start over again.
The stars in the sky connect the lights of the city, a bustling, and the little shop windows exude warm hope, it's good to have a home!
But where is his hope?
Smelling the aroma of various snacks and barbecues in front of the hospital, Lin Feng's stomach also began to gurgle, and he realized that he hadn't eaten a meal after a busy day today.
Before the divorce, every day when it was time to eat, his wife would always remind him to eat on time, but now, he was betrayed by the most heartfelt person. As soon as he thought of this, sorrow came from it, and Lin Feng looked up at the starry sky again......
Gradually, Lin Feng calmed down, he had accepted the worst day, he couldn't fall, he still had his father, and his little sister.
Lin Feng struggled to his feet, his gaze swept over the shiny, steaming food, and he didn't stop for a moment. walked into the supermarket, bought a bottle of the cheapest liquor, two ham sausages, a bag of peanuts, checked out, and walked out of the small supermarket, these are the birthday gifts he prepared for himself.
