"Mom, what's wrong with you? Let me go, I can't breathe!"

Xu Yu looked at his mother in confusion, his innocent eyes full of doubts.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mom is just happy! Happy! Xiaoyu is hungry, Mom will prepare a meal for Xiaoyu right away!"

As the woman spoke, she wiped away her tears of excitement and walked towards the kitchen.

At night, after coaxing her daughter to sleep, the woman waited anxiously for her husband to come back. When she heard the sound of the door opening outside, she immediately put on her clothes and quickly opened the bedroom door.

"Boss, you are finally back?"

Seeing that it was her husband outside the door, the woman hurriedly welcomed him in. She first poured him a cup of hot water, then looked at his tired face and said distressedly: "Boss, if you are really tired, why don't we stop being the factory director?"

As far as she could remember, ever since her husband became the director of a boiler factory, he had never returned home before 10 o'clock in the evening. Over the years, she had seen the sadness between her husband's brows more than once, and he had become increasingly older in the past few years.

You know, my husband is only 40 years old, but now he looks like a 60-year-old rural old man.

"What do you know? Do you think I want to be the factory director? But if I don't, what will happen to the workers in the factory? What about the children who are still in school? And what about our eldest and second sons?"

Xu Youshen frowned, rolled his eyes at his wife, and took a sip of the hot water in the teacup. After he finished speaking, he probably felt that he had been a little too harsh with his wife.

He couldn't help but sighed and said, "Wife, things are not as simple as you think! Besides, I can't let them go!"

As he spoke, he took out his pipe, lit it, and began to smoke. The woman, who was originally a little angry, could not help but soften her heart at the sight of him.

"Boss, I know you're having a hard time and you have good intentions, but we still have to take care of our own lives before we can help others. Now, your salary is higher, but our expenses are also higher. I know you feel sorry for those children, but the problem is that you have to do everything within your means! If you hadn't used your monthly salary to support the children's children to go to school, how could our Xiaoyu be in this situation today!"

Although her daughter's illness has recovered now, the woman still remembers the scene vividly and cannot forget it. As she spoke, her tears flowed again!

"Okay, let's not talk about the past. My only wish now is that the sugar factory that Dean Zhou handed over can start operation as soon as possible, so that I can give an explanation to those children who died!"

Hearing his wife mention their daughter, Xu You couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and his eyes flashed with heart-wrenching pain. You know, the doctor had told him at the time that the surgery would only cost nine dollars to relieve his daughter's condition, but the problem was that he couldn't afford it.

Who would have thought that a director of a boiler factory, who earned more than 100 yuan a month, could not even take out 9 yuan at that time? I remember how painful it was when he decided to give up treatment for his daughter in the hospital. His heart was bleeding.

In the past two years, he has been living in guilt because of his daughter's affairs. Every time he sees his daughter limping, he can't help but secretly curse himself for not being a qualified father.

But what could he do? He couldn't watch the descendants of the children he sent away lose their hope of studying, nor could he watch the widows starve to death.

Who made his daughter reincarnate into his family? He asked himself if he was worthy of anyone. The only people he felt sorry for were his own family.

As he spoke, his smoking frequency obviously increased a bit. The pain in his heart felt like being bitten by ants, so painful.

"Boss, do you know? It seems that my daughter's illness has been cured today!"

Just as he was immersed in painful memories, suddenly his wife's words flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning, shocking him completely.

"No, wife, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly, please say it again!

When the woman heard her husband's question and looked at his unbelievable expression, she couldn't help but chuckle and whispered in his ear, "I think our daughter's illness seems to be cured!"

"Impossible, how is this possible? Wife, are you lying to me? How could it be cured for no reason? Have you forgotten what Doctor Liu said when we were in the hospital? He said polio is incurable!"

Seeing that her husband still didn't believe it, the woman took her husband's hand and went straight to the bed where her daughter slept. She pointed at her daughter's exposed legs and said, "Then take a look. Is it healed?"

When Xu You saw his daughter's exposed calves with a very nervous mood, he was stunned for a moment. His brain went blank and he stared at his daughter's legs in a daze.

"Okay, our Xiaoyu's leg is finally healed, finally healed!"

He muttered to himself, and for some reason, a tear suddenly flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his eye. His lips trembled, and a look of hope appeared on his old face.

That is hope for the future.

"Wife, tell me, what happened today? How come Xiaoyu's leg healed for no reason?"

Coming back to his senses, Xu You immediately looked at his wife beside him excitedly.

"I don't know about that either. It's just that at noon, Dean Zhou, whom you mentioned, came to our house!"

In fact, the woman did suspect Zhou Tian and his group as to why her daughter's condition suddenly improved, but the problem was that she knew very well that there was no doctor among Zhou Tian's group, and even if there was a skilled doctor, it was impossible for him to cure her daughter's illness all at once.

"Dean Zhou? Have they been here?"

After hearing what his wife said, Xu You fell silent. Obviously, he had thought in his heart that Zhou Tian and the others would definitely conduct a secret investigation on him. After all, no one is stupid.

If Dean Zhou really was so kind as to award the sugar factory to Xu You just based on his few words and a story, then Xu You would definitely be grateful to Dean Zhou, but also look down on him.

After all, this is also spending the country's money, which shows that Dean Zhou is not competent, but now he thinks it is normal. The problem is that he really can't figure out what the relationship is between Dean Zhou's arrival and his daughter Xu Yu's recovery.

"Could it be that Dean Zhou is a miracle doctor who can bring the dead back to life?"

This was already the most absurd idea in Xu You's mind.

at the same time.

In the boiler factory's guesthouse, Zhou Tian stood by the window, looking at Xu You's house from afar.

"I wonder what Director Xu's expression was like when he found out his daughter had recovered from her illness?"

Thinking of how Xu You always looked like a simple and honest old farmer in front of him, he didn't know why he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
