It wasn't until He Ze walked away for a while that Xu Xi finally relaxed from his tense body. Now he felt like crying without tears. He didn't know why, and everyone around him became very strange. , It was too difficult, just breathing would make his heart feel uncomfortable.Xu Xi's feet seemed to be filled with lead, and she walked slowly towards the hospital, and it took a long time to walk a short distance before arriving.

It happened that Ren Haiming was still asleep at this time, and he seemed very restless. This has always been the case during this period of time, more times when he was asleep than when he was awake.Ren Haili was sitting next to the hospital bed to answer the phone. After seeing Xu Xi, she hung up immediately.

"Come on?" Ren Haili stood up and said, "I'll call Ayuan again, and she said that the photos you took before suddenly became very popular on the Internet, which is a bit troublesome, and I told you not to go to work recently .”

"I know." Xu Xi approached the hospital bed, looked at Ren Haiming worriedly, and asked, "Is Dad okay?"

"Just like that... don't worry too much, he hurt his head, and he always needs to rest for a while. It's just... thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, I should."

Ren Haili opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

The two of them had their own concerns and didn't talk much, they just sat there with Ren Haiming. After a while, Ren Haili asked Xu Xi to go back. Ren Xiaochen was about to go home from school, and no one was watching at home.

In short, this day passed in such a muddle, Xu Xi's head was swollen all the time, and he didn't know how he got through it.He almost didn't sleep that night, thinking that he was about to collapse, and he couldn't solve the predicament in front of him.

There seemed to be only two choices in front of him, to follow Sheng Huaijin's wishes and just accept his fate, or to accept He Ze's unkind help.But... But he didn't want to, he just wanted to go back to the past, those simple and happy days, why is it so difficult?

Another morning, Xu Xi got up early to send Ren Xiaochen to school, and then received a call from Ren Haili. She told Xu Xi anxiously that the money in the hospital's account was gone, and two neighbors came just now. On a visit, I took out two IOUs.

Ren Haiming initially invested 10 yuan, and [-] yuan was borrowed from them. Now that people heard that something happened to the financing company, they came to collect the debt.There is still money owed here, neither Xu Xi nor Ren Haili knew about it. When they heard this, they were both in a hurry, and rushed home to search for it, only to find a few hundred dollars.

Xu Xi was going crazy, he had no concept of money before, he wore the simplest clothes and ate the simplest meals, he never thought money was so important.Right now they really had no other choice. He was afraid that Ren Haili would go to Sheng Huaijin again, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Lin Juntong for help. If possible, Lin Juntong seemed to be the only one who was willing to help him.

Lin Juntong is working now, when he received his phone call, she was very surprised and said a long string of cannonballs.

"Xixi, how are you recently? How is Mr. Sheng? If you have something important to do, tell me quickly. I only have 10 minutes to rest, and I'm about to enter the show to record the show."

Xixi hurriedly said: "Brother Jun Tong, I'm sorry, I really can't do anything, can you help me, the hospital has no money in the account, I'm almost at a loss..."

As he spoke, Xu Xi's voice became hoarse again. He felt so bitter in his heart that everything he said felt bitter.

Lin Juntong was silent for a while, he couldn't take it anymore, now he really can't care about so many threats from Sheng Huaijin, he really can't see Xu Xi in such pain and helplessness, such a helpless person who is always struggling in the quagmire The young man who helped him was so similar to him back then. If... there was someone to help him back then, many things might not have happened for a long time.

Now, even if he wanted to reach out and hold Xu Xi, his strength was limited, but at least, this was the only thing he could do.

"You just wait at home. I'll ask my assistant to bring you the money right away. I don't have much cash to scrape together now, only twenty to thirty thousand. Take the emergency first, and think about the rest slowly." Way, okay?"

Unable to dispel the turbulent emotions like Xu Xi, he finally couldn't help crying while holding the phone, he didn't know what else he had to do to repay what Lin Juntong had done.

While Xu Xi was exhausted waiting at home, Lin Juntong's assistant finally brought over the money, 8000 yuan.Wrapped in kraft paper was heavy, almost heavier than Xu Xi's life.Xu Xi thankfully sent the assistant away, which made the assistant a little embarrassed.

In any case, at least now the problem of medical expenses for the next few days has been resolved, Xu Xi called Ren Haili with relief, and prepared to take the money to the hospital.

When Ren Haili heard that she had borrowed money, she burst into tears on the phone. After a while, she came up with a complete sentence: "Xu Xi, I really... don't know how to thank you... It's really hard for you..."

"It's okay, I'll come here now."

"Not now, at this time, Xiaochen is going to leave school, you can cook for him at home, don't let Xiaochen be frightened. Come back tomorrow morning. It's not safe for you to have so much money in the evening. "

Xu Xi agreed, and then carefully put away the money, then cooked, waiting for Ren Xiaochen to come home from school.The child has been not very happy recently because of the influence of family affairs, and Xu Xi is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions. The two brothers just looked at each other gloomily, and prepared to rest early.

As night fell, there were only dim street lights left in this old slum area, in stark contrast to the bustling night scene not far away.

Xu Xi was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.He opened his eyes and looked at the moths under the street lamp outside the window that kept bumping towards the light bulb.Just staring blankly, as if in a daze, and then, Ren Xiaochen's breathing gradually stabilized, and fell asleep, Xu Xi just kept staring, unable to dispel the worries in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a clear knock on the door in the quiet night, and a familiar voice came from the door.

Xu Xi listened carefully and found that it was their neighbor, Master Li, who opened a non-staple food shop in the front section.

"Here we come." Xu Xi responded softly, for fear of waking up Ren Xiaochen.

Master Li and his two twin sons stood in front of the door. The three of them had bloodshot eyes and looked very tired.

"Master Li, Da Rong, Xiao Rong, it's so late, why are you here?" Xu Xi stepped aside and was about to pour tea for the three of them, but Master Li grabbed Xu Xi and sat down on the sofa. With red eyes, he said: "Xu Xi, sit down, Uncle Li has something to tell you."

Xu Xi was a little nervous and asked, "What's the matter? Uncle Li?"

Master Li squeezed the cigarette in his hand, and said, "Xu Xi, should you pay back the money your father borrowed from us?"

"What, what?"

"I went to the hospital to see your father this morning. He was still dizzy and not very sober, so I didn't have the nerve to force him. But Uncle Li wants to make it clear to you. My little money is also given to you. The two sons are used to go to college. At that time, your father said to borrow from me, and you have to pay interest. You see, I brought all the IOUs, so you can't let them go?"

"Uncle Li, I didn't think I would be sorry, but my father is still in the hospital and there is no money in the account there. I... will return it to you as soon as possible."

"Xu Xi, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that your father...forget it, I was the one who was obsessed and wanted his little interest. My 2 yuan, and Lao Zhou's [-]. Lao Zhou He is embarrassed, I took it for him, and the IOU is here."

"Uncle Li, can you give me some grace, I'm really..."

"Xu Xi, you are also an honest person. How could you lie to Uncle Li? I saw this afternoon. A pretty little girl came to you. I saw it clearly from the window sill over there. Someone stuffed a kraft paper bag for you, wouldn't it be pickles in there?"

Xu Xi turned pale with shock, and said anxiously: "Uncle Li, that's my father's medical expenses, and he hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet."

"Okay, just admit that you have money." Master Li stood up, spread his hands to Xu Xi and said, "Give it back to me, I don't want the interest."

Xu Xi hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, please help me, I will definitely pay you back after this period of time."

Master Li suddenly became anxious, and shouted: "Who are you bluffing? You! I have heard that your father invested the money in that financing company, and now the boss has run away with the money. How can you pay back those money?" Money! I don’t care, you can return the money to me right now, is it easy for me to earn money! I was cheated by your dad like that! Quickly take it out, they are all neighbors, I don’t want... I don’t want to make it too ugly!”

"Uncle Li, please, this is my father's life-saving money!" Xu Xi couldn't stop crying, and hurriedly grabbed Master Li's hand, but Master Li became more and more irritable, and grabbed Xu Xi's hand. Wrist, and said loudly: "Da Rong, Xiao Rong, go find it, keep your voice down, don't let the neighbors hear you."

Xu Xi struggled in horror, cried and begged: "Uncle Li, I will pay back the money, please, please help me!"

Master Li's face was full of tangled and uncomfortable expressions. He didn't know that he exerted so much force to hold Xu Xi down, making Xu Xi unable to break free no matter what.Although Da Rong and Xiao Rong looked very apologetic, they anxiously started rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

It's useless for Xu Xi to cry and cry, the two children who used to get along well with Xu Xi just put Xu Xi seriously in the well-organized house and turned it into a mess.

When there was a lot of trouble outside, Ren Xiaochen's childish voice suddenly came from the other side of the bedroom, and he burst into tears, tearing his throat and shouting: "Brother!"

Everyone in the room froze for a moment, looking at Ren Xiaochen standing at the door of the bedroom in panic.

The sound of Ren Xiaochen's crying was piercing, both Da Rong and Xiao Rong panicked and did not dare to move again.

Master Li hesitated for a while and finally said harshly: "Da Rong! You carry Xiao Chen to the house! Xiao Rong, keep looking!"

Big Rong and Xiao Rong looked at each other, but before they could move, Xu Xi suddenly shouted, "Don't touch him!"

Master Li's eyes were red with anxiety, and when he was about to speak, Xu Xi spoke again, crying, "The money is under my bed, in a shoe box! Don't touch Xiaochen!"

Da Rong rushed into the bedroom when he heard the sound, avoided the crying Ren Xiaochen, and found the wad of money from under the bed.

"Found it!" Dayong ran out happily.

Master Li immediately let go of Xu Xi, and the father and son threw themselves on the pile of money, counting eagerly.

"Xiaochen, don't be afraid." Xu Xi quickly ran to Ren Xiaochen's side and hugged him, tears streaming down his face.
