Chapter 112: Starving to Death (1/4)



Although the person was rescued, he collapsed.

"One hundred and fifty thousand! Where can I get one hundred and fifty thousand? My son, how can I save him?"

Li Weida collapsed and sat on the ground crying.

He really can't stand it anymore.

Fifteen thousand is not a small amount. He had just called to give him the money without asking any reason.

Some of the remaining money could be borrowed, but it certainly wasn't something he could borrow just by making a phone call or saying a few words.

He has to buy gifts and go to people's homes to talk and beg before he can borrow it.

But in this case, even if people finally agree to lend him the money, it will be too late.

There is only more than half an hour, even if he takes action now, it will be too late.

"I have a reserve fund of 10,000 yuan at home. It's usually kept as a lifeline for my father. As you know, my father is old and sick. If anything goes wrong, we can't afford to take out a penny."

"I have 20,000 yuan saved for the children's tuition. My eldest son is in his third year of high school, and my youngest daughter is in her second year... I can give it to you first. There are still two months before the next semester starts, so I can earn more money for tuition. If things really don't work out, I can borrow it first. I'll call my wife again. Lao Li, just hold on."

The workers looked at each other in confusion.

It was already quite impressive that the six of them pooled ten thousand yuan in private savings.

Even if he called his wife and she was willing to lend him the money, they still couldn't come up with the 150,000 yuan.

Middle-aged people, with elderly parents and young children to support, need money everywhere. While their jobs pay well, the work isn't plentiful. Sometimes they get lucky and earn a little extra cash. Most of the time, they're stuck with their meager wages. Even if they try to save, after deducting living expenses, they can't save much.

If they were given some time, perhaps they could get it together, but time waits for no one.

Even if they could, they were ultimately just co-workers who got along well with each other, and it wasn't to the point where they would pour out their hearts and souls and even their entire fortunes to each other.

Especially in the current situation, all of Old Li's family assets have been given to his unreliable daughter-in-law's family. They will definitely not be able to get the money back in a short time if they lend it out.

What if something happens to them and they need money urgently?

Some of the workers wanted to help but had no money. Those who had money looked hesitant. Some were skeptical and didn't want to lend.

"Son, what's wrong with my son? Lao Li, stop crying and speak quickly. What's wrong with my son?"

A woman's anxious voice came from the phone, interrupting several people.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found Li Weida's phone dropped on the lawn. The phone displayed that it was still in use.

Li Weida had just fainted while on the phone, his phone still connected, and fell to the ground. Everyone was so busy trying to save him that they didn't even notice his phone.

Now the conversation of everyone was transmitted to the ears of Li Weida’s wife Zhang Cuihua through the mobile phone.

But there was so much noise over there that Zhang Cuihua couldn't hear clearly. She only knew that Li Weida had just fainted.

She thought that Li Weida was mad at her for secretly giving the money to her brother to buy a house, and she felt guilty and didn't say anything.

I thought that since the house had been bought and the money had been transferred, there was no point in Lao Li being angry.

Just wait until she comes home and coax her well.

Besides, my brother said that the money was a loan from her and he would pay it back later.

Lao Li can't stay angry about this matter.

His son is in his third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance examination. Mr. Li has always cared about his son's academic performance and will definitely not make trouble at this critical juncture so as not to affect his son's college entrance examination.

Zhang Cuihua had everything planned out and was just waiting for Li Weida to catch his breath before speaking. Unexpectedly, she heard that something was going to happen to her son, and she got anxious and quickly grabbed the phone to ask what was going on.
