Xia Yuanfang looked around the house calmly.
Her memory still remains at the moment three years ago when she suddenly fainted at home.
The three years in between seemed like a sudden gap in time, and she jumped directly from three years ago to three years later.
But she has a good memory and remembers everything that happened three years ago very clearly. Things at home were not like this.
Although the place has not changed, the furnishings and atmosphere of the entire house are much better than they were three years ago.
At that time, their little savings were used to buy the house in full, and they had no money left for decoration.
But now, the floors, walls, furniture, and furnishings are all different.
besides……
Xia Yuanfang held Xia Chujian's hand and took another look at the kitchen and bathroom.
Sure enough, the biggest changes were in the kitchen and bathroom.
This is to redecorate the entire house.
She knew the family's financial situation, so Xia Chujian wondered how a fourteen-year-old girl like that could support herself and have the money to renovate the house in the past three years?
Xia Yuanfang stared at Xia Chujian, all kinds of thoughts swirling in his mind.
What kind of life has her little girl been living in the past three years?
She had to be ignorant of these things, otherwise she would not be able to feel at ease.
Xia Yuanfang walked to the corner sofa in the living room and sat down, and also called Xia Chujian: "Chujian, come here and sit next to your aunt."
Xia Chujian's legs were shaking a little.
Just as Xia Yuanfang understands Xia Chujian, Xia Chujian also understands Xia Yuanfang.
As soon as she saw this, she knew that nothing could be hidden from her, not even for a day.
But she didn't know if Xia Yuanfang could bear the whole truth.
Xia Chujian stood at the door and took off the gun case from his neck slowly.
The gun case was still wrapped in an extremely rustic blue cloth with white flowers, which looked very strange.
Xia Yuanfang looked at her calmly until Xia Chujian could no longer bear the pressure of her gaze and finally came to sit next to Xia Yuanfang step by step.
She struggled desperately, "Auntie, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Should I get you a glass of water? Or cook you a bowl of noodles?"
Xia Yuanfang sighed in her heart, put a hand on Xia Chujian's back soothingly, gently took her into her arms, and said softly: "Chujian, don't be afraid. Auntie knows that my little Chujian is a good child and will never do anything bad."
Xia Chujian felt relieved.
Then, Xia Yuanfang made a turn: "...but..."
Xia Chujian wanted to pound the bed.
Why "but"?
What she hates most is when people gasp for air and say “but”!
Xia Yuanfang smiled and continued to gently rub Xia Chujian's back until her tense back softened a little bit.
She knew she was ready to open her defenses and tell her the truth.
Xia Yuanfang rubbed Xia Chujian's hair and tried to slow down his tone, his voice hoarse and low: "Chujian, I will tell you my doubts first, and then you can help your aunt solve them, okay?"
Xia Chujian snuggled in Xia Yuanfang's arms and nodded obediently.
Xia Yuanfang patted her face and said, "Be good."
After praising her, he began to talk about the practical matters: "Chu Jian, I heard you say that Doctor Shen said I had a serious genetic disease and stayed in the hospital for three years."
"I'm not unfamiliar with that hospital. I know the ward I was staying in. It was a single room. It was considered the best room in the entire official hospital, and the price for a year was about 10,000 yuan."
"After I fainted, was I sent to the hospital and stayed in that single room for three years?"
Xia Chujian nodded and said with lingering fear: "Yes, Auntie, you suddenly fainted at that time. I didn't find out until I woke up the next morning. I was really scared..."
Xia Yuanfang touched her face and continued to ask, "You just said that we don't have medical insurance. Why don't I have medical insurance? I remember that the company I work for has medical insurance."
Xia Chujian lowered her head and murmured, "Aunt, after you fainted and were hospitalized, you were fired by... your work unit. After you were fired, your medical insurance was also cancelled."
Xia Yuanfang pondered: "So I lost my job three years ago, and I also lost my medical insurance. So, who paid for my medical expenses? And what about your living expenses?"
"So, Xiao Chujian, tell your aunt where you got the money to pay my 30,000 yuan medical bill?"
Xia Yuanfang knew that in the Beichen Empire, even official hospitals serving civilians would not give credit, and all payments had to be made in advance, with any excess refunded and any shortfall supplemented.
So after she woke up, the first thing she was concerned about was her medical expenses.
She lowered her eyes to look at Xia Chujian in her arms, and said, "Aunt, remember, three years ago, before I fainted, our family savings were only about a thousand yuan."
"...How have you been spending the past three years?"
