Tang's mother was furious. "You're talking nonsense! Give me back the medicine!"
"No, let me take a look." Tang Xiaoqiang dodged backwards and his mother missed him.
After a long time of not being able to figure out what the medicine was, he opened the lid and poured it out to have a look.
Seeing this, Tang's mother hurriedly stopped him.
"Hey, don't move, it's expensive."
"How expensive is it?"
"I don't know how much this bottle of medicine costs, but I know it costs me twenty or thirty dollars a month."
"What? Twenty or thirty?" Tang Xiaoqiang exclaimed, "Mom, what disease are you treating?"
After coming in for a while, he saw Tang's mother holding her waist and pounding it several times.
I moved closer to the sofa to make room for her.
Mother Tang sighed and sat down on the sofa.
"Your mother won't live for many more days. If your sister insists on spending money to keep me alive, you might never see me again."
"Huh? Mom, please don't scare me. Tell me what's going on."
Tang's mother wiped away her tears and then told the story.
"I'm sick. Actually, I've been feeling unwell since I was back home. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid you'd worry. Later, I planned to tell your wife, but before I could even open my mouth, she told me to go back to work. I didn't know what was wrong with me at the time, and I didn't know how long I had left to live.
I didn't want to implicate you, nor was I worried about your sister. Just then, your nephew came and asked me to take him to find his mother, so I followed them. At the time, I was thinking, "Before I die, I can take one last look at your sister. If I see that she's living a good life, then I can rest assured and close my eyes."
"I never imagined your sister would be so stubborn, she insisted on dragging me to the hospital. She refused to tell me what was wrong with me, and she kept it a secret from the two children, too. All I remember is that she paid the hospital a large sum of money, sent me to the operating table, and once the anesthesia was administered, I was like asleep, unconscious..."
Tang's mother briefly recounted her experience in the hospital. The main point was that she knew nothing, fell asleep after the anesthesia, and was in the ward when she woke up.
It is said that Tang Xiaofen talked to the doctor secretly, without telling her.
She knew nothing except that she had spent a lot of money.
Although Tang Xiaoqiang didn't know either, he still had some common sense.
I thought that usually people would hide the truth from their patients only when they had a very serious illness.
Is his mother seriously ill?
Tang Xiaoqiang's eyes fell on Tang's mother, who was sitting on the sofa, either pinching her legs or rubbing her waist.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Tang's mother nodded and said, "Before, it was just chest pain. After the surgery, the pain is gone, but it seems like something is wrong with my whole body."
"Getting stabbed? Mom, let me see."
"Okay, I'll show you."
The scar was given to me by my daughter, who said it was the kind they use in movies.
Tang's mother heard Tang Xiaoqiang's knock on the door for the first time, but she didn't come out to open the door and just stayed in the house.
At first glance, the scar doesn't look like anything, but upon closer inspection, it's definitely fake.
So they discussed it and decided to have the scar on his chest.
There are differences between men and women. Even if they are mother and son, they cannot keep looking at their mother's chest.
Tang's mother lifted up her clothes to show him, then quickly put them down.
"See? It's as long as a palm. It's really causing me a lot of trouble."
Although the scar on the crew's face was fake, it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake after just one look in the dim room.
Tang Xiaoqiang believed it about 70%.
At this time, Tang's mother asked again, "How did you find yourself here? We just moved into this house a month or two ago, how did you know?"
Tang Xiaoqiang smiled faintly, "I have my own way, mother, don't ask."
Tang's mother curled her lips and said, "All you do all day is hang out with your bad friends. Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"What? Ha." He stood up and looked around the house like the owner of the house. "Since she's divorced, she's become a member of our Tang family again. This house belongs to the Tang family. How can my sister, a woman, keep this house? I think we should let her give it to me."
Tang's mother: "Thirty-five a month. If you want to start paying next month, you have to pay."
Tang Xiaoqiang was startled, "What?"
"I said this house is rented by your sister, including the TV, sofa, fan...except for our clothes and daily necessities, everything belongs to the landlord. It's written in the contract that any damage will be compensated. You want to stay? Then you pay next month's rent."
Tang Xiaoqiang's eyes widened. "What? This house is rented?"
"What else? If it's not rented, could it be bought? This house is worth tens of thousands. How much would it be worth if I sold it, or how much would it be worth if I sold your sister?"
this……
Tang Xiaoqiang's eyes rolled around.
As for paying to rent it, he still believed it.
I told you, it's only been a short time. Even if I sell that damn girl, I can't possibly settle down in a big city.
That bitch Fang Qing lied to him.
However, he had boasted about it, and his brothers all thought that the damn girl Tang Xiaofen was the mistress of a rich old man in the city, and the old man had even given her a house.
If he goes back and says that the house is rented, will he still have the face to face his brothers?
"Mom, what's my sister's job?"
Tang's mother pointed at the clothes hanging at the door and said, "See? That yellow dress belongs to your sister."
"Hey, who wears this? It's so ugly. The color is so bright, and it won't last long."
"Those are the free clothes given by the company. They glow when the car headlights shine on them at night."
"Huh? Who wears this on the street?"
"Your sister got a job sweeping the streets. She wears bright clothes to show off to drivers so they don't hit her."
What?
Cleaner?
Tang Xiaoqiang couldn't believe it, "You mean my sister is working as a cleaner?"
"Yeah, don't look down on this cleaner, he's not bad, he makes 120 yuan a month."
Um?
Although it's not as good as being a mistress, one hundred and twenty yuan a month is not bad.
"One hundred and twenty dollars a month? How much money has my sister saved in the past two or three years?"
"Who said that? You think you only see how much she earns, but not how much she spends? Everything costs money in a big city. Four people, four mouths to feed, how much does it take? And this house, the rent alone is thirty-five dollars, plus the utilities, I can't even get by on forty dollars. My two children still need to go to school, and I still need to take medicine. Do the math, is this one hundred dollars enough?"
Tang Xiaoqiang calculated and shook his head, "It's not enough. My sister must have other income."
"Yes, go to the balcony and take a look."
Tang Xiaoqiang was a little suspicious, but he still went to the balcony to take a look.
I saw a pile of waste.
"What's the point of all this garbage?"
"Save it and sell it. Your sister and I pick it up every day when we have nothing to do. With the money we make from selling the trash, we can barely make ends meet every month."
