Chapter 1262 Blind
Chen Yan originally just wanted to find a simple job that could make money. Once he had money, he would quit his job and continue investing.
He hadn't expected to be in such a situation. He could refuse the job, but where could he go if he refused? He only had 250 yuan on him, and he couldn't even leave Chengdu by bus.
Moreover, the woman in front of him was quite pitiful. She was about to die, had no relatives or friends, and even needed the applicant's help to collect the body.
Gu Wanqiu looked at the man in front of her who was lost in thought. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot water, waiting quietly for his reply.
Whether he agreed or not would not have much impact on her. Gu Wanqiu had her own considerations. She only had a few months to live and hoped to spend these last days quietly and ordinary. She did not want to frequently hire people during this period.
So what she needs is someone who can stay with her until she dies and then leave.
It is not possible to understand a person clearly just by meeting him once. The person in front of her seems to be pretty good at the moment. If she decides to use him, she will not plan to change him.
Shen Yan was at a loss, but gradually calmed down: "If you want to pay the salary in advance, can you pay it for one year?"
"Yes, but you have to sign a contract."
"Yeah, I understand."
Gu Wanqiu continued, "If you perform well, you will get bonuses in the future. I won't live long, and the most important thing I have left is money." She checked the amount in the bank card that He Tian gave her, and it was 10 million.
Ten million is too much for her to live on for a few months, and she can't spend it all, so the salary she wrote in her recruitment content is around 10,000 or 20,000, which is very attractive.
She thought about it and decided to donate the money after she died, which would be a way to accumulate virtue for herself. She hoped that she could be an honest person in her next life.
"Besides cleaning and cooking, do you have anything else to do on weekdays?"
"If the family needs anything, you need to go to the city to buy it. Can you drive? I plan to buy a car so that it will be more convenient and save trouble... In fact, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that after I die, you send my body for cremation and then find a place to bury it. There is no need to look for a cemetery specifically, you can bury it here." Gu Wanqiu's eyes were too calm. There was a gentle smile on her face and a light in her eyes.
There was nothing to hesitate about, so Shen Yan agreed immediately.
Facing Gu Wanqiu in front of him, to be honest, he had no way of refusing. He had a strong sense of empathy, and seeing her like this, he couldn't help but want to take care of her, just like when you come across a shivering kitten in the cold winter, you want to take it home and raise it. It's the same principle.
Gu Wanqiu prepared the contract that day and signed it according to the terms. Gu Wanqiu transferred 120,000 yuan to him in person.
Based on a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, in just a short while, 120,000 yuan was deposited into his mobile phone account.
"Aren't you worried that I might take the money and run away?"
"Your information is still with me. How can you run away? Even if you run away, it doesn't matter. After all, all I have left now is money."
"If others heard what you said, it would cause public outrage."
Chen Yan took the money and started to work. He cleaned the room briefly. There were three rooms in total. His room was next to Gu Wanqiu. Each room had a separate bathroom for washing. The house was not soundproof, especially at night. The sound of the toilet flushing next door could be heard, not to mention making a phone call. He didn't want to be heard, so he could only take it out to answer the phone.
Facing death, Gu Wanqiu faced it calmly. Her body was losing weight at a visible speed, especially in the first few days after she arrived here. Because she had no energy to cook, her meals were irregular. Sometimes she was in so much pain that she had to lie in bed and eat only fast food, at which point she only ate one meal a day.
Now that Shen Yan is here, she can finally have a good meal.
Shen Yan’s cooking skills were not very good, he could only make some home-cooked dishes. Knowing that Gu Wanqiu was in poor health, he would stew soup every day.
It would take Gu Wanqiu a long time to finish the food in the refrigerator by herself, but now there is one more person. Although Chen Yan looks thin, he has a big appetite, so the food in the refrigerator was quickly eaten up.
Patients like Gu Wanqiu should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Shen Yan used the money to buy a new mobile phone and added all the people around him. He has a good personality and is more extroverted than Gu Wanqiu. He is keen on interacting with people.
Most of the people living around here grow vegetables and raise various poultry.
He Tian bought vegetables nearby and ate them right after he dug them, so they were fresh enough. He also bought a lot of eggs, all of which were local eggs.
To buy daily necessities, he had to drive to the shopping malls in the city. It was more convenient to have a car. It was easier to shop and go out with a car. There were so many tourist attractions nearby, it would be a pity not to visit them. He also wanted to take Gu Wanqiu to see them.
A dying person should see more of this wonderful world, or at least visit the nearby attractions.
Chen Yan made up his mind that when he got a car, he would take Gu Wanqiu out for a ride.
Gu Wanqiu told Shen Yan on the first day that she would buy him a car, so when Shen Yan took the initiative to bring it up, she transferred 250,000 to him without saying a word.
Shen Yan happily took his bank card and took a ride to the city to buy a car.
This time he went to look at the car, and he might not be back until the afternoon. Therefore, in the morning, Chen Yan prepared lunch for Gu Wanqiu, which he only needed to heat up in the microwave.
During the few days he lived with Gu Wanqiu, he became more and more aware of Gu Wanqiu's living habits. She had irregular meals and did not eat on time. She would sleep very late in the morning. Of course, she also slept very late at night. Living next door to her, he could hear noises coming from her side from time to time.
Therefore, before leaving, Shen Yan knocked on the door to wake up Gu Wanqiu, reminded her to eat breakfast, and then repeatedly reminded her to eat a good lunch.
After hearing a faint response from inside, he took his phone and left with his bag.
Chen Yan took a ride when he went out, and drove when he came back. He bought an off-road vehicle, which was very convenient for driving on mountain roads. He tried the back seat and found it very comfortable, which was suitable for Gu Wanqiu.
After completing all the procedures, the total amount was exactly 250,000, not a penny more or less.
The trunk was full of daily necessities he bought at the supermarket, as well as some fresh ingredients and desserts and snacks. Girls all like to eat sweet things, especially during their menstrual period. I don't know if Gu Wanqiu likes it.
Chen Yan drove back, and the journey took him an hour. It was already four o'clock when he got home. He could just clean up and make dinner. They ate dinner early, sometimes a little after five o'clock.
Chen Yan parked the car at the door, took out the bags from the trunk, carried one in each hand and walked in. When he reached the door of the room, he started shouting, "Miss Gu."
Not getting a response, he walked in and saw Gu Wanqiu curled up in a rattan chair, staring at the TV screen with the volume turned up very loud.
When Shen Yan came in, he frowned and looked at the TV. The financial channel was showing information about "Li Jinxing".
He couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound and couldn't help sighing, "Comparison is the thief of joy. This Li Jinxing is really amazing. When he was his age, his net worth must have exceeded 100 million, right?"
Unlike him, he only had 250 yuan in his pocket a few days ago.
"Is the TV volume a little too loud?" Shen Yan didn't hear any movement and turned to look at Gu Wanqiu. She was staring at the TV with red eyes, and her pupils were gray. She rubbed her eyes more and more vigorously, which frightened Shen Yan. He put down what he was holding and felt over. He grabbed her hands with both hands to stop her from rubbing her eyes.
"Stop rubbing your eyes! They're already red. If you keep rubbing them, will you still want to save your eyes?"
His words stung Gu Wanqiu somehow. Her body stiffened and she stared at him dully with her gray eyes, which was very abnormal.
The next second, Gu Wanqiu said, "I can't see anymore..."
"What?" Shen Yan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her. Her eyes did not react at all. Her pupils were out of focus and scattered, with red bloodshot wrapped around the whites of her eyes, which looked particularly scary.
Chen Yan's heart sank: "How could it be..." He had just bought a car and was thinking of taking Gu Wanqiu for a walk around the neighborhood. He wanted to accompany her to see more of the outside world before she died. He hadn't had time to take her out of here... Why couldn't she see anymore?
"Is it retinal detachment? I'll take you to the hospital. Don't you have money? We'll spend money to buy a retina. Once it's replaced, you'll be able to see again." He was anxious to take Gu Wanqiu away.
Although Gu Wanqiu couldn't see, she could feel from his tone at this moment and his trembling hands that Shen Yan was very worried about her.
When Gu Wanqiu was at Qiule Manor, her vision had already started to blur. Before the blood transfusion, He Tian told her very clearly that the aftereffects of the poison would not only cause pain, but also gradually disappear her five senses. In the end, she would be like a living dead, suffering in bed.
But what Gu Wanqiu didn't expect was that the first thing to disappear completely would be her vision.
She tried to keep her eyes open; they hurt. The loss of vision wasn't pitch black like closing one would have been, but grayish white, as if a bright light had shone on her eyelids when she closed her eyes.
There was a burning pain in her eyes, and tears flowed out unconsciously and could not be stopped. Gu Wanqiu closed her eyes and felt Chen Yan reaching out to hug her.
She quickly held his hand and said, "I won't go to the hospital. I know what's wrong with my eyes. It's not that the cornea has detached, but that the entire eyeball is dead. Even if I go to the hospital, it won't get better."
It was Gu Wanqiu who couldn't see, but he was trembling even more violently than her.
Gu Wanqiu said that she could only live for a few months and her health was very poor. Shen Yan thought she had cancer and wanted to ask her about her specific condition, but he didn't know how to start.
Is there any terminal illness that can cause blindness? Shen Yan couldn't think of it.
…
When can't I see it?
When she woke up in the morning, her eyes couldn't help but tear up. She hurriedly finished her breakfast and lay on the bed with her eyes closed to rest. Later, she really couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up and wanted to go out for a walk.
At this time, she had obvious double vision and her vision was becoming increasingly blurred. After lunch at noon, she sat on a rattan chair and watched the financial channel. On TV, the latest news about Li Jinxing was being broadcast. He attended a charity gala, and the woman next to him was Jiang Yun. The two of them walking hand in hand in the crowd were so conspicuous and so well-matched.
A prominent topic was inserted below: Li Jinxing of Li Group recently disclosed information about his girlfriend.
She sat on the rattan chair, hugged herself tightly, clutching her watch in her hand, her heart aching badly. She and Li Jinxing had been together for a long time, but except for the people around them, it seemed that no one knew they were together.
This time, Li Jinxing directly brought Jiang Yun to attend the event and announced his lover to the public. Presumably, he really loves Jiang Yun deeply.
Gu Wanqiu stood up and wanted to pour a cup of hot water. Just as she was about to pick up the glass, her arms suddenly felt numb, her fingers became stiff and uncontrollable, and the cup fell to the ground.
With a crisp "bang", fragments flew everywhere and scalding water splashed on her body. She squatted on the ground to pick up the fragments, but her fingers were out of control. Not only did she not pick up many pieces, but she also cut her hand with broken glass.
Her right foot had not yet fully healed, and it was already very inconvenient for her to move. Now there was a problem with her hand. She had no time to be sad, because even greater despair was coming upon her.
She can't see anymore.
Just as she stood up, her vision went dark. She thought it was a symptom of anemia. In the past, whenever she stood up from squatting, she would always feel dizzy and her vision would go dark. It would be fine as long as she took a break.
She staggered back to sit on the rattan chair, her eyes still fixed on the TV screen. This time... she waited for a very long time... but her vision never recovered.
She knew she was blind.
When she was watching Li Jinxing and Jiang Yun standing together intimately holding hands on TV, her eyes... suddenly went blind without warning, and at the same time, problems occurred with her hands.
Life will not let you stay in trouble forever, because there will be desperate situations waiting for you later.
Even though she couldn't see, she still faced the TV, turned the volume up to the maximum, and listened to the sounds.
She did not panic too much because she had been prepared for this day. Being blinded was nothing. She would become a living dead and eventually die of vomiting blood. She had to take it one step at a time. This was God's punishment for her.
As soon as Shen Yan came back, the two of them were now face to face, and the atmosphere was deadlocked. Gu Wanqiu was silent for a while, then said, "I want to drink some water."
Only then did Shen Yan notice the broken glass on the ground. He quickly said, "I'll go pick it up. There are broken glass on the ground. Don't move around. Be careful not to get your feet hurt."
Chen Yan poured a glass of water for Gu Wanqiu, tested the temperature, and after making sure it was not hot, he brought it to her mouth.
Gu Wanqiu was not used to being fed water by others. She fumbled with her hands to hold the cup: "I can do it myself."
She finished the entire glass of water, and Shen Yan then asked, "Do you want more?"
Gu Wanqiu shook her head. She was blind and might not live long. She thought she had at least another half a year to live, but she was afraid she could only barely celebrate her birthday this year.
Gu Wanqiu forced a bitter smile: "Maybe we need to recruit another person."
Shen Yan looked at her without saying anything.
"I didn't expect that I would go blind first. Now that I can't see, I can't do many things." Chen Yan has a strong ability to adapt. After just a few days, he has figured out her habits. He is good at taking care of people and doing things carefully, but no matter how good he is at taking care of people, she is blind now, and there are differences between men and women. He can't do many things for her personally, such as taking a bath.
