******************************************
After Feng Guohua and Li Jianguo left, I asked Qi Ruoxue beside me, "Miss Qi, your feet are nothing, right?"
"It's much better. Nothing big is happening anymore."
"What are you going to do? Should you go home or go to the hospital?"
"I'm afraid that my family will be anxious if they don't go back so late, so I'd better go home first."
"Okay. Then I'll stop you a taxi."
"What?" Qi Ruoxue widened his beautiful eyes, "Aren't you going to send me home?"
I smiled, "Look, it's getting late, and I'm afraid my family will be anxious. Since your foot injury is no longer a big deal, there should be no problem when you go home by yourself."
"Why are you not gentlemanly at all? How can you let an injured girl go home by herself?" Qi Ruoxue gave me a dissatisfied look, "Can you go back a while later, Sister Song Jing and the others eat you?"
Because Qi Ruoxue works in my advertising company, he knows Song Jing, Yufei and others. Naturally, he also knows Song Jing and their kind nature.
"But--"
Qi Ruoxue interrupted me, "Nothing is not the case. As the saying goes, good things are done to the end, and it is God to send Buddha to the end. Since you have done good things and saved me, you should do good things to the end. Just send me home safely. What do you think?"
I smiled, "Are you okay, can't I send you back? I'm really a teacher. I said just now, and you immediately gave me a vivid ideological education class."
Qi Ruoxue also smiled, "Don't worry, it won't waste your time."
I smiled and held her arm, "Let's go."
"Wait," Qi Ruoxue looked at me dissatisfiedly, "You are really not a gentlemanly demeanor. You know that my feet hurt very much, but you even let me leave by yourself."
I smiled, "Didn't you just say that your feet are nothing anymore?"
Qi Ruoxue smiled, "I'm polite to you. To show that I'm very strong, don't you understand this?"
"Do you still let me carry you away?" I smiled bitterly.
"Then there is no need." Qi Ruoxue smiled, "I think you are very energetic, so please hold me."
"Okay, then I'll be a gentleman." I bent down and picked up Qi Ruoxue, "Do you know, I really regretted that I didn't sign up to participate in the Olympics now."
"Why?" Qi Ruoxue didn't expect that I would suddenly talk about this, and she looked at me curiously.
I smiled and walked, saying, "I can pick up your 'pornest' body so easily. If I go to the Olympic weightlifting competition, breaking the record will definitely be a piece of cake."
"Haha," Qi Ruoxue smiled, "I will definitely recommend you to participate in that 2008."
"Okay, I'll win glory for the country. At that time, even your "training tool" will be very honored!"
Qi Ruoxue smiled and hit me lightly, "Go to you! Who is the training tool?"
In the car, Qi Ruoxue told me that when I arrived at her house later, I must not say that I was kidnapped by a criminal tonight, otherwise the elderly at home would be worried. I nodded and agreed to her.
Qi Ruoxue's residence is an old-fashioned courtyard with three main rooms. Because of its age, it has become a bit dilapidated. After Qi Ruoxue entered the courtyard gate, he asked me to put her down and let me support her into the room.
Qi Ruoxue shouted to the room. "Uncle, I'm back."
"Grandpa, it's the little aunt's mother who is back." Xiao Chenxi's crisp childish voice immediately sounded in the room. Then as soon as the door of the room opened, Xiao Chenxi ran out, "Little aunt's mother!"
When Xiao Chenxi saw me, she was stunned, and she didn't seem to expect that there was another person who came back with her little aunt and mother.
"Xiao Chenxi, do you still remember me?" I asked the cute little girl with a smile.
Maybe because there was no light in the yard, Xiao Chenxi did not recognize me immediately. He looked at me with his big eyes open.
At this time, someone opened the electric light in the yard, and someone in the room asked, "Xiaoxue, is there any customer coming?"
"Yes." Qi Ruoxue agreed loudly.
"Come in and sit in," as he spoke, an old man appeared at the door.
"Uncle Fang!" At this time, Xiao Chenxi also recognized me with the help of the light and ran towards me happily. I bent down and kissed Xiao Chenxi on her little face, "Xiao Chenxi, do you miss uncle?"
"I think about it," Xiao Chenxi replied with a smile, "I also asked my aunt and mother to take me to see you, but she didn't agree."
"Is that so? Uncle knows that you must miss me. I'm just here to see you."
At this time, the old man had already come over, and Qi Ruoxue hurriedly introduced to me, "This is my brother-in-law's father, uncle, this is Mr. Fang who sent Chenxi back last time."
The old man hurriedly held my hand, "Oh, Mr. Fang, thank you so much. If you hadn't sent Chenxi back last time, our whole family would be anxious. I really don't know how to thank you. Why didn't you come in and sit in the last time? We would also like to thank you in person."
I couldn't help but wonder, why is her brother-in-law's father? Is he living here too? But I was embarrassed to inquire about other people's family affairs and hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't be polite. That's just a simple task, nothing."
"Come in, please come inside, please come inside." The old man politely pulled me and walked into the room.
"Okay. But--" I glanced at Qi Ruoxue who was supporting her. Who would help her when I left?
The old man then noticed Qi Ruoxue's strangeness and asked anxiously, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with your feet?"
Qi Ruoxue hurriedly smiled and comforted the old man, "Uncle, it's okay. I just sprained my ankle accidentally, don't worry."
"You have to be more careful," the old man asked with concern, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No, I'm fine." Qi Ruoxue smiled and said to me in a low voice, "I won't help me in."
Last time Chu Ting and I came back, I just sent Xiao Chenxi to the entrance of the alley and left, and did not enter Qi Ruoxue's home. Now when I entered Qi Ruoxue's home, I found that the furnishings in her house were very simple, to be precise, old. An old 21-inch color TV and a single-door refrigerator are the highest-end household appliances in the house. However, the house was clean and neat. After entering the house, I found that there were two old ladies in the house. After Qi Ruoxue introduced me, I realized that these were Qi Ruoxue's mother and his brother-in-law's mother.
It seems that Qi Ruoxue's brother-in-law's mother seemed to be in poor health and had a pale face. Even when I came in, she did not stand up from the recliner leaning against to greet her. Uncle Li (for the convenience of narration, I just told Qi Ruoxue's brother-in-law's father to be called Uncle Li, and the two old ladies were Mother Li and Mother Qi) explained apologetically that my wife was in poor health and could not move around casually. I asked me to forgive any rude things. I hurriedly said that it was nothing, they didn't have to be so polite with me. But I was very surprised in my heart, why did Xiao Chenxi's grandfather and grandma live with Qi Ruoxue?
My mother Qi was very enthusiastic about me, pouring water and watermelon. Uncle Li brought safflower oil and applied medicine to Qi Ruoxue's injured foot.
"Mr. Fang," said Qi's mother, looking at me with gratitude, "Look, we always bother you. After sending Chenxi, we will ask you to send Xiaoxue back. We really don't know how to thank you."
"Auntie, don't be polite to me." I smiled and said, "Miss Qi and I are friends, so it's nothing to do such a little favor."
"Oh!" Mother Li sighed softly, "It was our three old people who dragged Xiaoxue down. She was the only one who supported this family. If it weren't for her, we three old bones would probably have been gone long ago."
"Auntie, why do you say this again? If you are all a family, don't say this indifferent words." Qi Ruoxue hurriedly interrupted Li's mother, "Mr. Fang comes to your house, don't say this."
"I want others to know what a good daughter you are!" Mother Li gasped for a few moments, "Don't stop me."
"Old sister, you can't be excited if you are sick." Mama Qi hurried over to comfort Mama Li.
"Old girl, let her talk." Uncle Li glanced at his wife, "She would feel a little more comfortable when she said it."
I only learned from the narrative between Li's mother and Uncle Li's wife why Uncle Li and his wife lived here.
It turned out that Chenxi's father was the only son in the family. He met Qi Ruoxue's sister who worked in the same factory. The two fell in love and got married. After the marriage, they were also very loving. However, because the factory where the two were in went bankrupt, they both became unemployed and laid off. The source of life was cut off, which made the couple very depressed. At that time, Qi Ruoxue was still in college, and Ruoxue's father was in poor health, and the family spent a lot of money. In desperation, the couple gritted their teeth and borrowed money to buy a car and started running for transportation. In order to pay off the loan as soon as possible, the couple ran day and night. Unfortunately, due to excessive fatigue, they were not focused, and the car rolled into the valley, and Qi Ruoxue's sister and brother-in-law died on the spot.
The news came, the four elderly people in the family could not withstand such a blow. Qi Ruoxue's father suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot and was sent to the hospital without waking up again. Li's mother also had a heart attack, and fortunately rescued in time, she saved her life. In order to take care of the three elderly people in the family, Qi Ruoxue gave up her plan to study for a doctoral student, stayed at school as a teacher, and began to earn money to support the family. Because Ruoxue's brother-in-law's family's relatives were not local, in order to take care of the two elderly people, she took Uncle Li and Aunt Li to her home so that she could take care of the three elderly people at the same time.
Although he was not in good health, he had labor insurance wages. However, the expensive monthly medical expenses consumed all the small labor insurance wages, and it was entirely up to Qi Ruoxue's salary to support his life. Qi Ruoxue was still very strong and refused to ask others for help. He always took on everything silently. But worse, Li's mother's heart disease became more and more serious. The doctor said that a heart bypass surgery was necessary, otherwise the patient would be in danger of life at any time. In order to raise this huge amount of surgery for this family, Qi Ruoxue had to start working part-time.
Listening to the two old men's stories, I couldn't help but think of my deceased mother. A burst of sorrow came up. At the same time, I also understood why Qi Ruoxue said that when she came to the company to apply for a job that day, she said that she needed money very much. Because she was eager to earn a lot of money to treat Li's mother!
"Oh! I'm the one who dragged Xiaoxue down." Li's mother sighed for a lifetime, "If I hadn't been the old woman who was sick, Xiaoxue would have finished her doctorate now. I'm sorry for this child."
"Auntie, don't say that. If my brother-in-law and sister hadn't supported me in college, how could I have been today?" Qi Ruoxue said sincerely, "So I should take care of you on their behalf!"
I looked at Qi Ruoxue's beautiful face and realized that the reason why her fair face was not because of her skin color, but because of paleness caused by excessive hard work. This is a girl who allows her to bear the full burden of the entire family with her weak shoulders, a tough and tenacious girl, and a kind-hearted girl.
"Xiaoxue, we owe you too much," Uncle Li sighed, "You are not young anymore, so don't worry about us anymore."
"Yes, you should find a boyfriend too. You can't always let us drag you down like this." Mother Li looked at me, "Mr. Fang, Xiaoxue is a good girl. You must treat her well in the future and let her live a good life for a few days."
Khan! They told me these things, and they actually regarded me as Qi Ruoxue's boyfriend!
Before I could explain, Qi Ruoxue hurriedly said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. He is not my boyfriend, Mr. Fang has been married long ago."
"Ah?!" The three old men were stunned, and their faces immediately showed disappointment.
"Mr. Fang, look, we are so confused." Mother Li smiled embarrassedly, "Xiaoxue has never brought a boy home, so we - sorry, don't take it to your heart."
I smiled, "It's nothing. I'm blamed for this. I'm too childish, and this face is easy to mislead others, thinking I'm still young. In fact, I should be half an old man at the age of mine."
The three old men laughed.
"But, we really don't want to drag Xiaoxue down anymore," Uncle Li sighed, "I discussed with his aunt that the surgery will not be done. I am so old. If I do it, I can live for a few more days. I'd better just do it like this."
"That won't work!" Qi Ruoxue immediately expressed his objection, "Auntie must do this surgery!"
She smiled and comforted the three old men, "Don't worry, I have saved almost the money. I won't have to wait for a long time."
I looked at Qi Ruoxue's firm expression and suddenly thought of my mother when she was sick. Didn't I persuade her mother like this? A sadness filled my heart. I understood Qi Ruoxue's mood. Seeing that her relatives were sick and could not be treated, I had to force a smile and comfort them. How painful it was in my heart. I should help her! I should help this kind girl!
"Ruoxue," I said to Qi Ruoxue, "I think this is the case. You go to the company's finance department tomorrow. You will withdraw the amount of the operation from the company first, and the aunt will do the operation first. What do you think?"
"No!" Qi Ruoxue refused, "I don't want your money."
"Mr. Fang, this is not OK. We are not close to each other, how can we take your money?" Uncle Li also hurriedly said, "We have received your kindness, but we cannot ask for this money."
Mama Qi looked at me gratefully, "Mr. Fang, you are a good person, but Xiaoxue is strong, she will not agree. We have received your wishes. But we can't ask for the money."
I smiled, "Uncle, aunt, listen to me first. This money is not given to you, but I lent it to Ruoxue first. In the future, I will slowly deduct it from Ruoxue's salary."
I looked at Qi Ruoxue, "Ruoxue, illness doesn't wait for anyone. The earlier the aunt's surgery, the better. If you delay for a day, unexpected changes may occur. I hope you can consider my suggestions and not be stubborn and delay the treatment of the aunt."
