Maple Grove Street.
Zijin Home Community.
Room 502, Unit 2, Building 11.
The strong smell of Chinese medicine wafted out of the door and permeated the corridor outside, and violent coughing sounds came out of the house one after another.
"The surname Xu, how many times have I told you? Don't boil Chinese medicine at home, such a bad smell has drifted to my house, and let people not live?" The fat woman with a meaty face stared at her mung bean eyes, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at the thin Xu Wanying with the other.
"Liu Fang, you know the situation in my family, except for boiling Chinese medicine at home, I really have nowhere else to go! Xu Wanying said with a smile.
"How many more treatments?" Liu Fang almost jumped up, and shouted angrily: "Ten doses of Chinese medicine for one course, and a few more courses, and dozens of times?" Do you want our lives?"
"I ......"
As soon as Xu Wanying's words came out, she was interrupted by the ringing of the mobile phone in her pocket.
She glanced at Liu Fang apologetically, took out her mobile phone and looked at the number on the caller ID, and found that it was her nephew Xu Yi calling, hesitated, but she still connected:
"Xiao Yi, are you coming to Jiangzhou?"
"Auntie, the neighborhood where you used to live has been demolished, where do you live now?"
"Here on Fenglin Street, Zijin Jiayuan Community, I'll send you the specific address by text message later. ”
"Good. ”
Xu Wanying hung up the phone, saw that Liu Fang was still full of anger, did not argue with her anymore, and retreated into the room amid the other party's complaining words.
in the room.
Guo Zheng was half-lying on the bed with a sickly face, coughing more than a dozen times in a row, before he slowly eased up, and when he saw his wife walk into the door, he said bitterly: "It's Liu Fang who is difficult for you again, right? ”
"The medicine has to be boiled, you don't care about it. Xu Wanying shook her head, poured a glass of water for her husband, handed it over and continued: "Xiao Yi has come to Jiangzhou, and he will come to the house later." ”
Guo Zheng's face changed and asked, "You called him?"
Xu Wanying didn't say anything.
Guo Zheng showed an angry face and shouted, "What about you, did you call him?"
"Yes!"
Xu Wanying finally nodded silently.
Guo Zheng's chest rose and fell, and he coughed several times in a row in anger, before he covered his chest and said angrily: "I told you everything, don't call him, that kid is wandering alone, a person must have suffered a lot over the years, and he has suffered a lot of sins, how can you ......"
"But at home, I really can't afford Xiaoman's tuition! She was admitted to such a good university, I can't watch her drop out of school because she can't pay the tuition, right?" Xu Wanying's expression was gloomy.
"It's all my fault, if it weren't for my illness, I wouldn't have been dragging you down for the past few years, I should die!" Guo Zheng was both painful and self-blaming.
"Husband, don't say that, everyone has a time when they encounter difficulties, as long as you recuperate with peace of mind and recover as soon as possible, our family's life will be better. Xu Wanying hurriedly relieved.
"Over the years, I've really suffered you. Guo Zheng shook his head helplessly.
Half an hour later.
Xu Yi drove the car into the Zijin Jiayuan Community and parked the car downstairs in Unit 2 of Building 11.
He found that the community was very dilapidated, and the environment inside was even more dirty and messy, not to mention the surveillance cameras in the community, and even the security guards were not seen.
Upstairs.
Xu Yi knocked on the door of room 502.
"Click......"
The door opened, and Xu Wanying appeared in front of Xu Yi.
"Little, little Yi. Xu Wanying's voice trembled a little, looking at her nephew, who had grown up and become a handsome guy, tears rolled in her eyes.
Back then, her brother and sister-in-law died in a car accident, although she was willing to adopt her nephew and niece, but the child was unwilling to come back with her.
"Auntie. ”
Xu Yi exclaimed with a smile.
Xu Wanting touched her tears and hurriedly pulled Xu Yi into the door.
"You kid, what else do you bring when you go back to your home?" Xu Wanting saw those hometown souvenirs, her heart was warm, but she complained, and then continued: "Your uncle is sick and lying on the bed! You go talk to him, and I will make you something to eat." ”
"Auntie, I've eaten it. Xu Yi hurriedly stopped and asked, "What kind of illness does my uncle have?"
"Tuberculosis, it's been three or four years, and it's been ...... over and over again"
As they spoke, the two entered the room.
"Xiao Yi is here, it's good to come, your aunt has been talking about you a lot over the years. Guo Zheng struggled to sit up, a smile on his pale face.
"Uncle!"
Xu Yi had met his uncle Guo Zheng before, and he had a good impression of him.
Half an hour later.
After some conversation, Xu Yi learned that his sister Xu Xiaoman was working outside during the holidays, his cousin Guo Yang was nowhere to be seen all day, and the situation of his aunt's family was not optimistic.
Over the years, the family has to provide for the two children to go to school, and my uncle's tuberculosis has recurred several times, and he has been cured again and again, the family's savings have been exhausted, and the money from selling the house is gone.
Even, her aunt Xu Wanying told her euphemistically: If it weren't for the fact that the family really couldn't afford to pay Xu Xiaoman's college tuition, she would definitely not call Xu Yi.
"It's all my fault, I should have come to visit you years ago. Xu Yi blamed himself.
"Xiao Yi, don't talk nonsense, you're alone outside, I'm afraid it's not easy, it's my aunt who has no ability. Xu Wanting took Xu Yi's hand and said.
Xu Yi shook his head and silently took out his mobile phone.
"Mr. Xu, I'm Wen Jiantao, what do you command?"
"The best respiratory doctor in Jiangzhou, do you know it?"
"I don't know, but I know the president of the First People's Hospital of the city, and if I have something to look for him, it's absolutely no problem. ”
"You contact him, I have a relative who has tuberculosis, and I'll drive him there later. ”
"Okay, I'll be right over there. ”
"Hmm!"
Xu Yi hung up the phone, looked at the two pairs of gazes, and said with a smile: "A friend of mine knows the president of Jiangzhou First People's Hospital, and listening to him, the relationship seems to be quite good." Auntie, take a hand, let's take my uncle to the hospital. ”
"Don't, Xiao Yi, we didn't ......"
"I have money. Xu Yi interrupted Xu Wanting's words.
Soon, the three of them came downstairs.
Xu Yi opened the car door, only to find that his aunt and uncle had stopped, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
"This car ......"
"I borrowed this car from a friend. Xu Yi explained.
Borrowed?
What has Xu Yi done over the years? How could he know such a rich person? This car must be worth at least millions, right?
Jiangzhou First People's Hospital.
Dean Cui Zhengmin received a call from Wen Jiantao, immediately arranged for it, and personally went to the parking lot to greet Wen Jiantao. He and Wen Jiantao are old classmates, and they have a very iron relationship.
"Jiantao, who is sick? and let you come here in person?" Cui Zhengmin asked curiously.
"It's a relative of a big man. Wen Jiantao smiled bitterly.
"Who's the big one?"
"We, the shareholders of Baiwei Group, should also be shareholders of Kyushu Group, Mr. Xu Yixu. Wen Jiantao said.
"It's really a big shot, are we from Jiangzhou?" Cui Zhengmin's face changed slightly, and his attitude was much more cautious, after all, he was a shareholder of two listed group companies, and his identity was really not simple.
"It's not. ”
Wen Jiantao shook his head silently.
