Lu Xiaole listened to everyone's talk on the side, and felt very uncomfortable.

He didn't dare to imagine how sad and sad Li Shuying's mood was now, her husband was paralyzed, her son was stupid, and now she broke her leg again, and her lover was away from home, she was really helpless and pitiful.

Although Li Shuying is the lover of Lu Xiaole's father Lu Songyang, and because of her, his parents went out to work, causing Lu Xiaole to be unable to enjoy the love of his parents for more than three years, and Lu Xiaole should have hated her.

But every time Lu Xiaole saw Li Shuying, saw her lonely figure, melancholy eyes, sad face, and thought of her pitiful experience, he couldn't hate her.

Not only does he not hate Li Shuying, but because Li Shuying has a close relationship with his father, he still has a sense of closeness to Li Shuying.

Now, hearing that Li Shuying's son Fu Ge's leg was broken, Lu Xiaole sympathized with Li Shuying even more.

However, he can only sympathize with Li Shuying in his heart, and he can't say it, or even show it, otherwise, others will laugh at him, saying that he feels sorry for his "little mother" and is sorry for his own mother.

Everyone is still talking, some people sigh that Li Shuying's life is miserable, and some people are worried about the rich brother's medical expenses, her family has no money, and now she is living in the hospital, and she doesn't know where to raise money.

Lu Xiaole couldn't bear to listen anymore, got up and walked away, and went to work at the workstation.

But he always felt uneasy, and Li Shuying's sad eyes always appeared in his mind.

Finally, when it was time to get off work at noon, Song Xiulian asked Lu Xiaole to have lunch in the factory, but Lu Xiaole didn't want to be at the dinner table, and when she heard the workers talking about Li Shuying, she declined Song Xiulian's kindness and went home to eat.

When Lu Xiaole came out, it was noon, the sun was very poisonous, and there was almost no one on the street.

As soon as he left the factory door, he saw a man pedaling a human-powered tricycle and walking slowly.

Lu Xiaole looked at it again, and the cyclist turned out to be Li Shuying.

Li Shuying was listless, hanging her head, riding a car, I don't know if she has no strength or is too depressed.

Lu Xiaole looked at Li Shuying's figure, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and pity and sympathy surged in his heart.

He deliberately slowed down and waited for Li Shuying to come over.

Li Shuying hung her head and didn't see Lu Xiaole, and she didn't raise her head until she got closer, when Lu Xiaole took the initiative to greet her.

Lu Xiaole: "Second aunt ----"

Li Shuying saw that it was Lu Xiaole, and on her sad face, she barely put on a smile:

"It's Xiaole, are you off work?"

Lu Xiaole said "um", looking at Li Shuying's sad face, he felt panicked in his heart, hesitated, but he still expressed his concern:

"I heard that Brother Fu fell his leg, is it serious?"

Li Shuying sighed: "The tibia of the lower leg of the left leg is broken and needs surgery." In fact, the leg was broken, but it was light, and two ribs were broken, and the broken ribs were pierced into the liver. ”

Lu Xiaole sighed: "Fell so badly? Where is Rich Brother now? ”

Li Shuying: "In the hospital. ”

Lu Xiaole: "You're back, who is taking care of Brother Fu in the hospital?" ”

Li Shuying: "My dad is here." ”

Lu Xiaole knew that the "my father" in Li Shuying's mouth referred to her father, not her father-in-law.

Li Shuying's parents-in-law both died early.

Lu Xiaole thought about it and asked a question he was very concerned about: "Second aunt, how much does the operation cost?" ”

Li Shuying sighed: "The operation fee plus the hospitalization fee will be at least more than three thousand." ”

A migrant worker has worked hard for a year, and after removing the normal expenses of the family, there is no more than 3,000 yuan left.

Lu Xiaole estimated that with the situation of Li Shuying's family, it is likely that they still owe debts, not to mention more than 3,000 yuan, but I am afraid that they will not even be able to take out 300.

How is she going to raise these two thousand dollars?

Lu Xiaole was about to say something, but Li Shuying spoke first.

"Xiaole, you go to dinner, I'm also going home and cooking for your second uncle."

The "second uncle" she said was her husband Song Laoer, who was paralyzed in bed and couldn't take care of himself, so he could only rely on others to cook.

Lu Xiaole didn't want to say anything more, nodded, and turned back.

He walked a few steps, turned his head to look, and saw Li Shuying riding a tricycle weakly, with a lonely and desolate back.

Lu Xiaole's heart was sour, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and hurriedly went home.

When Lu Xiaole returned home, his grandfather had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him to come back.

While the two were eating, Lu Xiaole looked at his grandfather's face and whispered:

"Grandpa, have you heard, the rich brother broke his leg."

Grandpa sighed with some sympathy: "Alas, Shuying's life is miserable. However, we don't need to care about the affairs of their Song family. Let's eat. ”

Because of the incident between Li Shuying and Lu Songyang, Song Lao Er and his brother Song Lao Da said a lot of ugly things to Lu Songyang's father, so although the grandfather sympathized with Li Shuying, he was unwilling to help, so as not to have another dispute.

Lu Xiaole was still thinking about whether his grandfather could lend Li Shuying some money, but when he saw his grandfather's expression, he knew that this idea would not work, so he had to stop talking.

Grandpa ate two mouthfuls of rice, and said to Lu Xiaole:

"Xiaole, please take half a day off in the afternoon, the apples have ripened a lot in the past few days, and they are going to be picked, and I will go to the market to sell them tomorrow."

"Okay, grandpa."

Most of the work in the orchard can be done by the grandfather himself, but picking apples can only be reached by standing on a high place and standing on the ladder, so Lu Xiaole needs to pick them, lest the grandfather be old and inflexible in his hands and legs and fall off the ladder.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaole took leave and went to the orchard to help his grandfather pick apples, and he was busy for three or four hours before he finished picking the ripe apples and loading them onto the three-wheeled carriage.

Since apple picking is Lu Xiaole's work, Lu Xiaole is very tired, and his grandfather said:

"Xiaole, there is not much work left, I can do it myself, you can go home and rest."

Lu Xiaole: "Grandpa, I'm not tired, it's still early, I'll do it again." ”

Grandpa: "It's not early, the sun is almost out in the yard, you go back and put away the quilt to dry, so as not to get wet and dry in the dark." ”

Lu Xiaole: "Okay, grandpa, then I'll go back first." ”

Lu Xiaole arrived at the house, washed his face, and walked home.

He didn't take the path, but was going to pass over the ridge of the field, so that he could get much closer, but the corn leaves were a little prickly.

Lu Xiaole walked on the ridge, separating the corn leaves in front of him with both hands.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a whimper from the cornfield in front of him, as if it were a woman crying.

Lu Xiaole was stunned, stopped, and listened carefully.

This time, he heard it clearly, and sure enough, there was a woman crying, but because the crying was too suppressed, he couldn't tell who the crying woman was, and because of the cover of the corn stalks, he couldn't see the crying woman.

"Hey, who is hiding in the ground and crying in broad daylight? What's the matter, can't you go home and cry again? ”

Just when Lu Xiaole guessed who the crying woman was, the suppressed cry suddenly turned into a howl.

The cry is full of infinite grievances and infinite sorrow.

This time, Lu Xiaole finally heard clearly:

The woman who cried was Lee Sook-young----
