Today, Xu Guang asked Yang Lemei to go for a walk by the small river outside Qingshan Village.
In the past, Xu Guang would always say some little words to make Yang Lemei happy.
But now, his face was full of sorrow and he sighed from time to time.
"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Yang Lemei asked worriedly.
Xu Guang's face showed a trace of panic, and his eyes were filled with anxiety. "No, nothing happened..."
But his heavy expression was really unconvincing.
"Brother Xu, if you have anything, you must tell me. What if I can help you..." Yang Lemei said sincerely, pursing her lips.
Xu Guang smiled helplessly, as if he had no choice but to speak: "My mother has been ill recently, and her condition is very serious. The doctor said that this disease will cost a lot of money..."
"I am just an ordinary family. How can I afford so much money? But... do you want me to watch my mother die?"
As Xu Guang spoke, he squatted down and held his head in his hands, his whole body exuding an air of despair and dejection.
Yang Lemei didn't expect this to happen. Her face turned pale. "How could this be? Brother Xu, how much money did the doctor say it would cost? Let's get some money together with relatives and friends, maybe it can be done..."
"It's useless. The doctor said it would cost at least three thousand yuan...my relatives and friends can't raise enough money..." Xu Guang said with tears in his eyes, regretfully.
He took the opportunity to glance at Yang Lemei and saw that her brows were furrowed and her face looked worried.
"If my mother died because of this, I would probably regret it all my life and leave this sad place forever." Xu Guang sniffed his nose, his eyes dull, and he looked sad and heartbroken.
Damn it, I've already said this, why hasn't she responded yet!
Xu Guang secretly resents himself.
Yang Lemei's lips twitched slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she said softly, "Brother Xu, don't say that. I have..."
"You can help me, can't you?!"
Before Yang Lemei could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Xu Guang. An astonishing light flashed in his eyes, revealing undisguised ecstasy and greed.
"Yes..." Yang Lemei didn't understand why Xu Guang was suddenly so excited. He even used a lot of strength to grab her shoulders.
"Then let's go now!" Xu Guang tried his best to suppress his trembling hands and excitement.
"Okay..." Seeing Xu Guang trying to hold back his laughter, Yang Lemei thought with some sympathy, Brother Xu is really pitiful, he wouldn't become insane because of his mother's illness...
Yang Lemei took Xu Guang to the back of her house, where usually not many people passed by.
"Wait here, I'll be right out!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Xu Guang nodded.
Three thousand yuan! ! Yang Fugui told himself that this was the remittance Qingshan Village had received.
Yang Lemei was indeed easy to deceive. With just a few words, he coaxed her into stealing money to help him.
Xu Guang has now begun to imagine how to best use the three thousand yuan.
Pay off your debts first, then buy the three turns and one ring.
From now on, you don’t have to envy other people’s bicycles and watches.
Not far away, Gao Xiaotao and Feng Lingyu were hiding in the woods, watching all this.
"Xiao Yu, Le Mei wouldn't really be deceived, right? Let's go out and tell Le Mei that Xu Guang's mother died a long time ago, and he is just fooling her."
Gao Xiaotao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Feng Lingyu didn't say anything, so she couldn't act on her own.
Different from Gao Xiaotao's anxiety, Feng Lingyu's eyes were like the vast ocean, calm and without any fluctuations.
Suddenly meeting Feng Lingyu's eyes, Gao Xiaotao was startled: "Xiaoyu..."
"What could happen right under our noses?" Feng Lingyu lowered his eyes. It seemed as if Gao Xiaotao's previous coldness was just an illusion.
"Don't worry, Le Mei is a smart girl."
Through observing Yang Lemei over the past few days, Feng Lingyu discovered that although Yang Lemei had a crush on Xu Guang, that liking was very shallow, as light as bubbles that would burst at the slightest touch.
Therefore, she would never do anything stupid for Xu Guang.
Xu Guang saw Yang Lemei sneaking out and hurriedly went to greet her, "You finally came out."
Yang Lemei first looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she opened her pocket and carefully took out a small cloth bag.
This small white cloth bag is old and yellowed, and it is obvious that it has been used for a long time.
But this small cloth bag is only half the size of a palm, how can it hold three thousand yuan?
Maybe it was a remittance slip, Xu Guang comforted himself.
"Brother Xu, take this. I can only help you up to this point." Yang Lemei handed over the small cloth bag reluctantly, her eyes drooping, looking quite pitiful.
Xu Guang tried his best to control his excitement and said, "Thank you very much! I will definitely repay you in the future."
As he said this, he reached out and grabbed the other end of the small cloth bag.
Um?
Why can’t I pull it?
Xu Guang continued to pull hard, but found that he still couldn't pull it out.
When I looked down, I found that Yang Lemei's fingers, which were holding the small cloth bag, had lost color due to excessive force.
Xu Guang's mouth twitched, "Le Mei, what are you doing..."
Yang Lemei curled her lips and said dejectedly: "Brother Xu, you must remember to return it to me..."
"Okay, I will definitely return it to you!"
Seeing that Xu Guang promised, Yang Lemei finally let go.
"Brother Xu, I believe you!" She smiled, as if her reluctance just now was just Xu Guang's illusion.
Xu Guang opened the small cloth bag slowly with trembling hands.
After seeing clearly what was in the cloth bag, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Yang Lemei in disbelief.
"Is this what you meant by helping me?"
Inside the cloth bag was a big unity banknote and several Mao Zedong notes.
He said he still needed 3,000 yuan! Not 10 yuan!
The huge gap almost drove Xu Guang crazy.
However, Yang Lemei could not understand Xu Guang's anger.
"I have saved fifty dollars in the past few months, and I was thinking of lending it to you first. But then I thought, my parents haven't asked me for my salary, and I should use the money I earn to support my family first. This ten dollars is for me to buy my favorite fabrics to make clothes, and now I'm lending it all to you..."
Yang Lemei's words implied that the 10 yuan was all she had.
"Brother Xu, I know this amount of money is insignificant, but it is a huge sum of money to me. You don't have to feel any psychological burden..."
Yang Lemei said sincerely, and after a pause, she added: "It's okay if you return it later..."
