Chapter 101 An unexpected turn of events
"Yes...it's that batch of cans!" Xiaofang finally managed to squeeze out these few words, and tears fell down like beads that had broken off the string.
It never rains but it pours!
Xu Yao felt a black screen before her eyes and she almost fainted.
She had purchased this batch of canned food in bulk with great difficulty, thinking she could make a fortune, but now it faces the risk of expiration and becoming scrapped.
This was just adding insult to injury, and it made her feel suffocated.
Xue Han supported the staggering Xu Yao, his face looking terribly gloomy.
He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. The veins on the back of his hands bulged as if they would burst at any time.
In the warehouse, boxes of canned food are neatly stacked, exuding a faint fruity aroma.
However, this fragrance at this moment was like a sharp blade, piercing Xu Yao and Xue Han's hearts.
"How could this happen..." Xu Yao muttered to herself, her eyes empty, as if she had lost her soul.
Xue Han took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He looked around, hoping to find a glimmer of hope, even a ray of hope.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the air in the warehouse seemed to freeze, making people feel suffocated.
Just then, the door of the warehouse creaked open and Uncle Zhang walked in unsteadily.
"Yaoyao, Xiaohan, I heard that you are in trouble." Uncle Zhang's voice was trembling.
Xu Yao and Xue Han raised their heads and looked at the kind old man, feeling a warm feeling in their hearts.
Uncle Zhang walked up to them, took out a wrinkled cloth bag from his arms and opened it carefully. Inside was a stack of scattered banknotes, including ten-yuan notes, five-yuan notes, one-yuan notes, and even a few Mao bills.
"This is a small gift from everyone in the village. It's not much, so you can take it first." Uncle Zhang handed the money to Xu Yao and said firmly, "Yaoyao, don't worry, we will all help you."
Xu Yao looked at the money in her hand and couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they burst out.
She choked up and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you, thank you everyone..."
Xue Han's eyes also turned red. He took the money and said solemnly, "Uncle Zhang, please tell everyone that we will never forget this kindness."
Uncle Zhang patted Xue Han on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Xiao Han, you are a good child, Yaoyao is also a good girl, you will definitely get through this difficult time."
Just then, Xue Han's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was Dr. Chen calling.
"Hello, Dr. Chen..." Xue Han answered the phone with an anxious tone.
"Xue Han, I have good news for you!" Doctor Chen's voice was filled with excitement. "The hospital has a relief fund that can be used to pay for your mother's surgery!"
"Really?!" Xue Han was so excited that he almost jumped up. He glanced at Xu Yao.
"It's absolutely true!" Doctor Chen said affirmatively, "Hurry up and prepare the relevant information and come over to apply!"
After hanging up the phone, Xue Han hugged Xu Yao tightly and said excitedly: "Yaoyao, we are saved! We are saved!"
Xu Yao was also so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. She hugged Xue Han's waist tightly, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him.
The two hugged each other and cried, their hearts filled with gratitude and hope.
They immediately began to prepare the application materials for the relief fund, not daring to delay even a little.
Time is running out, and every minute and every second is extremely precious.
They ran around and finally submitted all the information before the deadline.
Next, it’s a long wait.
Every day, they live in fear that their applications will be rejected.
Finally, on a sunny morning, Dr. Chen called...
"How is it? Doctor Chen..." Xu Yao's voice was trembling and it was almost unrecognizable.
Doctor Chen's hearty laughter came from the receiver, like an electric current, instantly activating Xu Yao's stiff nerves.
"Congratulations, your application has been approved!" Boom!
It’s like winning the lottery!
Xu Yao was so excited that her hands were shaking and her phone almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xue Han was quick to catch it.
She suddenly threw herself into Xue Han's arms and hugged him tightly, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Xue Han also hugged her back tightly, with his chin resting on the top of her head, feeling her violent heartbeat, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
The sun streamed in through the windows, casting a golden glow on everything.
At this moment, the mountains of canned food in the warehouse no longer seemed so annoying. Instead, they looked like golden hills, symbolizing their future wealth.
"That's great! That's great!" Xu Yao was so excited that she was incoherent, and her tears rolled down one by one like pearls from a broken string.
Xue Han gently kissed away the tears on her face and said softly: "Don't cry, silly, everything will be fine."
Xu Yao burst into laughter and nodded vigorously.
Yeah, everything will be fine!
They have been through so many ups and downs together, what can bring them down?
This sudden good news was like a clear spring in the desert, nourishing their dry hearts and rekindling their hope.
They walked out of the warehouse hand in hand and basked in the warm sunshine.
The breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of flowers, and the birds sing happily on the branches. Everything seems so beautiful.
After returning home, the first thing Xu Yao did was to call her mother and tell her the good news.
"Mom, the surgery fee has been settled! You will be able to have the surgery soon!" Xu Yao's voice was filled with joy.
On the other end of the phone, Xu's mother's voice was also full of excitement and gratitude.
"Yaoyao, that's great! Mom knew that you and Xiaohan would find a way!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yao and Xue Han smiled at each other.
They know that this is only the first step in a long journey and there is still a long way to go, but they are full of confidence. They believe that as long as they work hand in hand, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and create a happy life of their own.
They began working on clearing out the backlog of cans.
Xue Han contacted some friends to help with sales, while Xu Yao set up a stall in the village to promote the products.
Although the profit is not high, it is better than letting the cans expire and be scrapped.
They kept spinning like a top, busy all the time, but there was always a smile on their faces.
Because they know that they are fighting for their future and they are creating their own miracle.
In the evening, the sun sets and the sky is dyed golden red.
Xu Yao and Xue Han sat in the yard, looking at the sunset glow in the sky, their hearts filled with tranquility and peace.
"Yaoyao," Xue Han suddenly said, "Do you think our future will always be this good?"
Xu Yao turned and looked at him, with a determined light in her eyes.
"Yes! We will definitely get better and better!"
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence...
"Who is it?" Xue Han got up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Aunt Li from the village. She looked anxious and said breathlessly, "Yaoyao, Xiaohan, something's wrong..."
