Chapter 60: Help in emergencies but not in poverty

"Forget it!"

Lin Xin gave up. The child refused to learn no matter what, and he couldn't kidnap him.

The captain and his men were very disappointed with her and couldn't understand why she didn't seize such a good opportunity.

But they couldn't say anything.

I don't even have the position to give any advice.

The atmosphere fell into silence.

Fortunately, the silence was short-lived because Lin Xin began to remove the needle and feed the pig medicine.

By the time everything was done, it was already past five in the afternoon.

By this time, the sky had darkened and snow was falling.

Lin Xin couldn't leave and had to stay. Besides, he couldn't leave either. Although the pig seemed to have returned to normal for the time being, tonight was a critical period.

He had to keep watch with Ma Yong and the others until the two big pigs passed the dangerous period tonight.

The team leader and his men were not in a hurry to leave, but instead pulled Ma Yong aside to ask him about the moldy corn and the potatoes with toothy teeth.

This matter had nothing to do with Yi Chichi and the others. Besides, when she saw Ma Yong looking hesitant and embarrassed, she knew that there might be something else going on.

Besides, this matter is not suitable for these educated youth to know.

Then he took Wang Nan and the others and said goodbye and left.

Uncle Yaozi lived in the team doctor's room for a long time. Yi Chichi had to go back to the Youth League Home. After closing the door of the team doctor's room, she and Wang Nan set out on the journey back to the Youth League Home.

"Hey, where do you think the moldy corn came from?"

Wu Yongfei couldn't keep it to himself, nor could he suppress his curiosity, so he started to make small talk.

Yi Chichi rolled his eyes and said, "Why do you care about these things? It's a good thing that we saved the pig and got the annual pig share. You don't need to worry about other things."

Bai Chen nodded in agreement, "Xiao Yi is right, remember not to talk nonsense when you go out."

"clear!"

He touched the needle on his lapel, and couldn't help shuddering when he thought of the painful experience of being pricked by the needle. He had to watch his mouth, because a needle prick really hurts.

but--

"Old Yi, why don't you study veterinary medicine?"

"I am responsible for the animals."

She can even do something like telling a man that he is pregnant. If she really goes to study veterinary medicine and kills a healthy pig because she thinks it has swine fever, then she's really screwed.

"I'm also afraid that I'll watch the animal to death and get beaten up by a crowd."

Everyone: "..."

This is indeed a bit outrageous.

However, everyone could tell from her answer that she was not interested in this topic, so naturally, it was impossible to tell her what she really thought.

Thinking of this, Wang Nan sighed, "It's better to be safe."

She said this with some sadness.

Yi Chichi glanced at her and saw a flash of sadness in her eyes. He knew that Wang Nan might have encountered some trouble.

It turned out that her judgment was completely correct.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening. Yi Chichi was lying in his warm bed and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when he heard a knock on the door.

Wang Nan is here.

"Chichi, are you asleep?"

"No, wait, I'll open the door for you."

As she spoke, she stood up, put on her clothes, and went to the door to let Wang Nan in.

As soon as the door opened, a biting cold wind blew in her face. She quickly closed the door and shivered as she returned to the kang. She patted the edge of the kang and said, "Come and sit down."

"No, I'll just sit on the stool."

Wang Nan hadn't washed yet. She knew Yi Chichi was very clean. Besides, she needed help from others, so it was impossible for her to do anything that would displease others.

So, she pulled Yi Chichi's small stool and sat down, sitting upright like a primary school student.

He was just short of putting his hands behind his back and looking up.

Yi Chichi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You can relax a little."

Wang Nan's shoulders slumped, and Yi Chichi felt that his whole spirit had instantly dissipated, and he was dejected all over.

She hesitated to speak, a little embarrassed, and Yi Chichi asked, "Did you encounter any problems?"

"Um."

She nodded gently, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I want to, I want to ask..." She wiped her face, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with tears and her voice was filled with tears.

"Chi Chi, I won't hide it from you. My sister is in trouble and is in the hospital for head surgery. I need money urgently."

Without waiting for Yi Chichi to ask for details, she told him everything.

The matter is actually not complicated. To put it simply, Wang Nan's sister Wang Mei had a tumor in her head.

Wang Nan was not sure whether it was benign or malignant, but the tumor had already pressed on the nerves, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, unsteady walking and fainting.

The doctor's diagnosis was to have surgery as soon as possible while the tumor was still not too big, otherwise the tumor would continue to grow, and when it caused problems again, it might be impossible to save the patient.

But craniotomy is a major surgery, and the hospital in Wang Nan’s hometown cannot perform it, so he can only go to the city or provincial hospital.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Wang family is poor, and the father's generation has never achieved much, so Wang's mother has been a temporary worker for many years.

Wang's father was a regular worker in the tie-dye factory, and a skilled worker at that. Unfortunately, he became disabled due to an industrial accident.

Therefore, Wang's father's job was taken over by Wang Nan's eldest brother.

However, her eldest brother had no experience. Although he inherited Wang's father's job, he did not inherit his father's level and salary.

My monthly salary is only about 30 yuan, and I have to give 10 yuan to my parents, support my wife and children, and take care of my parents-in-law, so I can't save any money.

The third child, Wang Mei, works as a temporary worker at a scrap collection station and also earns very little money. She also has a pair of eight-year-old twin sisters.

After Wang Mei’s incident, her whole family was almost forced to death.

I could only send a telegram to Wang Nan and ask her to think of a solution.

Wang Nan really had no other choice, so he came to Yi Chichi to talk.

Worried that Yi Chizhi would not lend the money, she choked up and said, "Chichi, I can write you an IOU. I will wash your clothes and cook for you in the future. I can also..."

"Stop."

Yi Chichi interrupted her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What kind of image did Wang Nan and the others have of her? Zhou Baopi?

He also washed clothes and cooked for her. Fortunately, Wu Yongfei was not there, otherwise he would have had a fight with Wang Nan.

The reason for the fight was simple: Wang Nan stole his work, leaving him no chance to gain any advantage.

"How much?"

As the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty. If Wang Nan came to her to borrow money for herself, she would definitely not lend it.

But the money can be lent to save my sister.

She was not worried that Wang Nan would not return the money.

"Lend me thirty yuan and ten kilograms of national food coupons, do you think that's okay?"

Wang Nan didn't dare to speak. She knew that thirty was just a drop in the bucket for her family's current situation, but it was also the limit she could bear.

She couldn't pay back any more.

Yi Chichi took out a pen and paper and handed it to her, "Write an IOU. Do you have anything valuable?"

Wang Nan understood immediately that this meant that she had to use something as collateral.

She thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute."

Without waiting for Yi Chichi to react, she got up and walked out.

After about five minutes, she came back like a thief and closed the door.

Then, she came close to Yi Chichi and spread out her palm, "Can I use this as collateral?"

The palm of the hand is a piece of emerald green melon, with exquisite workmanship.

After Yi Chichi picked it up and examined it carefully, his heart skipped a beat. It was full green, the top grade variety of jade, commonly known as imperial green. This was not something Wang Nan could own.

"Where did you get this?"

She asked softly, lowering her voice.
