Moreover, at the beginning, he didn't expect to stay for several days and thought he would go home after just one or two days.
As a result, they stayed there for a long time. The things they brought with them were not enough, so they had to live frugally.
In order to save money, only he and his father stayed here, and everyone else went home.
The travel expenses were not cheap, and it was impossible for those people to send them food after returning home, so the two of them could only eat sparingly and have two meals a day.
Because he had been waiting outside for so long, he was extremely hungry, especially with such sweet pastries in front of him, how could he not want to eat?
"Uncle, please eat quickly. We have a lot more at home. My sister bought them for me. Please eat quickly."
"Let's eat together. It will take some time for my sister to cook. We can eat this first to fill our stomachs. Then we won't be so hungry and won't get hungry."
"My sister said that if I starve myself, my stomach will hurt so much that I'll have to be hospitalized."
Fang Zhiyi couldn't help but find it funny to listen to his younger brother making alarmist remarks and using the same words he used to scare him to scare others.
"Then go ahead and eat. He still has plenty. He'll need plenty to eat. You've been waiting outside for so long, you must be hungry."
"If you don't eat, you'll be waiting outside for so long, cold and hungry, and it's easy to catch a cold. If you catch a cold, won't it cost more money?"
Meng Xiangshun was forced by the two of them to eat. He reached out to take the cake and began to eat it slowly.
After Fang Zhiyi lit the fire, he put the stove on. The water inside was boiled this morning. After it was boiled for a while, it would be ready to drink.
She took the thermos from the cabinet behind her, then took a cup and placed it in front of Meng Xiangshun, pouring him a cup of boiling water.
"Drink some hot water to warm yourself up first. If that doesn't work, you can put it in your hands to warm them up. Your hands must be frozen after being outside for so long."
Meng Xiangshun smiled and nodded at him, quickly finished the piece of cake, then picked up the cup and took two small sips.
After putting the cup down, he looked at Fang Zhiyi with an embarrassed look on his face, the corners of his mouth moved again and again, but he didn't say anything.
Fang Zhiyi looked at him and knew that he must have something to ask for, but she didn't know what it was that made a grown man so embarrassed.
Fang Zhiyi was wrong. No matter what the matter was, it was indeed embarrassing for a 40-year-old man to speak to a younger person, no matter what it was.
"Uncle, is there something wrong with you? It seems like you have something to say, but you are embarrassed."
"If you have any problems, just tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you. As long as it's not against your will and it's not against the law, I will definitely help you if I have the ability."
"We don't have many relatives. My father's side is like that. You are the closest relatives to us."
"So if you guys encounter any difficulties, I definitely won't sit idly by if I have the ability. It's the same with my uncle here."
"So feel free to say whatever you want. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
When Meng Xiangshun heard her words, he seemed to have finally mustered up the courage to speak:
"I've really run out of options lately, so I've come to you and said this, but I have a plan. I can't even say these things to you."
"My grandfather is in the hospital now and needs an operation, but our family simply can't raise the money. If he doesn't have the operation, he will suffer in the future."
"I, I have no choice but to watch him suffer. But we have borrowed money from everyone in the family and we really have no money left. After thinking about it, I thought of you."
"They didn't let me come to see you, so I ran over here today when they weren't paying attention."
"I know it's not easy for you to raise a brother on your own, but I really have no other choice. I can't just stand by and watch my grandfather suffer there."
"So I want to ask you if you can lend me a few hundred dollars. I promise to pay you back once I get the certificate. When we get the money next year, I will pay you back part of it first, and then the rest the year after next."
"We really have no other options. No one has the money to lend us back. Every household in the village is having a hard time. We had already borrowed 50 yuan from them when we came here."
"I know it's not nice of me to say this. After all, you're just a junior, and there aren't any adults in your family. Life must be tough for the two of you, and now you're asking for money. It's really outrageous."
"But I have no other choice. Our family earns so little money all year round. We've already spent most of it on building a house and getting married. I finally saved up some money and was planning to use it for your eldest brother's wedding, but then this happened."
"You don't have to give me a few hundred. If you have enough spare cash, lend me some. I'll find a way to pay for the rest."
Meng Xiangshun finished speaking in one breath. After he finished speaking, it seemed as if the breath he had gathered up dissipated and he became a little stiff again.
After hearing what he said, Fang Zhiyi couldn't believe it. Although the man looked quite old when he went home last time, he didn't seem to have any major problems.
As a result, in just a few months, I had to undergo surgery.
But since the other person came to her for help, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die. She believed that even if it was Meng Xiangan, it would be the same if he was still here.
After he came back, he still wanted to go back to the village to visit his family. You can tell that the old man is different in his heart. He still really treats him as a relative?
Since Meng Xiangan still regards him as a relative, Fang Zhiyi certainly cannot stand by and watch him die.
She didn't have any feelings for these people, but everyone in that family was good.
When they returned home, they were very nice to them and didn't try to please them. They just treated them as normal people.
And just like she said, she simply disdains to get along with her father's relatives. There are only a few relatives left in her grandmother's family, so it's good to be able to get along with them.
"Uncle, don't be anxious. Tell me first how much money great-grandfather will want."
"I'll see if I have enough money. If I do, I'll lend it to you. Anyway, I only get a salary every month and don't have much money to spend."
"Then you can pay me back next year when you have money."
