Lin Chaoyang's voice was calm and still, "No, you're overthinking it."
Ji Ming's eyes darted back and forth on his face, but he couldn't see anything.
While Xia Shuya was away going to the bathroom, Ji Ming secretly opened the door again.
"If you like her, you can pursue her. Even though she has lost her memory, it doesn't affect her."
Lin Chaoyang just shook his head and said nothing, but his attitude was very clear.
He had no plans to pursue Xia Shuya again, because it was difficult for two people to be together.
Rather than just having it for a short time, it is better not to have started at all.
Seeing his attitude, Ji Ming said no more and the two of them fell silent.
After returning to Yangcheng, Lin Chaoyang didn't think about it anymore.
Thinking too much is actually a burden.
This time when they came back, the school specially gave them a few days off, which was considered a benefit.
After all, the translation work there was really heavy, and it took me two more days to get back to school.
Lin Chaoyang didn't rest either. He took the opportunity to go to Hong Kong again.
This time he planned to buy a radio and watches in between, so as to avoid bringing too many goods and not being able to sell them.
I was lucky enough to get a new model of radio this time, as the old models were on sale at a discount.
Although it is an old model, it is still a very good item if I take it back to them.
Lin Chaoyang spent all his Hong Kong currency and bought many old radios.
After returning to Pengcheng, he immediately contacted the radio dealer introduced by Zhao Qi.
The two agreed on the time and place for the transaction, and Lin Chaoyang returned to Yangcheng.
This time when he went out, he still left Lin Chaoxing at Aunt Jiang's house.
Before he went to Shanghai, Lin Chaoxing lived well in Aunt Jiang's house, so later he simply sent him there.
Lin Chaoyang got out of the car and went straight to Aunt Jiang's house to pick her up, but before he reached the door, he heard a noise inside.
He pushed the door open and went in, and saw Aunt Jiang apologizing to several men in a humble manner.
"I will definitely pay it back as soon as possible. Can you give me a few more days?"
Lin Chaoyang suddenly spoke up, "Aunt Jiang, what's going on?"
Aunt Jiang was startled and lowered her head in embarrassment, too embarrassed to answer.
One of the men answered for her, "She borrowed money from us to pay for her son's medical treatment, and she hasn't paid it back yet."
Aunt Jiang's voice trembled, "I will pay it back, I will pay it back soon..."
The man said, "What are you paying back? Your sickly son can't be cured at all. Throwing money into this is like a bottomless pit!"
Aunt Jiang was instantly enraged, "You are talking nonsense! Don't just say that I owe you money, you are not being virtuous!"
Lin Chaoyang actually didn't know what disease Aunt Jiang's son had, but it seemed that these people were specialized in lending money.
This kind of money lending service has a high interest rate, which is actually equivalent to usury.
Aunt Jiang has already reached the point of borrowing usury, so her son's illness can't really be a bottomless pit as that person said.
"You don't want to accumulate virtue? How much does your son's illness cost every month? Don't you know?"
"I've spent all this money, but there's no improvement. Isn't this a bottomless pit?"
"The little money you earn is not enough for his medical treatment. How can you pay us back?"
Aunt Jiang's anger was completely dissipated by what she said, and she could only lower her head and cry helplessly.
What they said was indeed true. Her monthly salary plus the extra money she earned was not enough to pay for her son's dialysis.
This is why she owes money, and she has to pay it back. Where can she find the money to pay it back?
Now she has to work and take care of the children to earn extra money, and she also has to find time to take the children to the hospital. The time is really not enough.
"We didn't expect you to pay us back this time. How about you mortgage the house to us and settle our debt?"
Aunt Jiang's first reaction was to shake her head and refuse. Without the house, they and their children would have no place to live.
The man's expression changed immediately. "You can't pay the money back, and you don't want to mortgage the house. Are you refusing to pay the debt?"
Aunt Jiang shook her head hurriedly. That was not what she meant, but without a house, they were left on the streets.
Lin Chaoyang couldn't bear it any longer. "Well, brother, can you give her another two days to help her think of a solution?"
The man looked him up and down and said, "Young man, what can you do? Is there any money in your family?"
Lin Chaoyang took out fifty yuan and said, "This money should be enough for you to extend your stay for two more days, right?"
Seeing the money, the man immediately changed his attitude, "Okay, wait for two days, and come back in two days."
The man took the money and left immediately. Aunt Jiang then collapsed on the ground helplessly.
"This fifty dollars can be regarded as an advance payment to you, but the remaining money..."
Aunt Jiang covered her face and cried softly, "If I mortgage the house to them, what will happen to the children?"
"Xiaobao's illness means he will die at home if he doesn't receive dialysis. I really can't stand it any longer..."
Lin Chaoyang frowned. Dialysis? Could it be that Aunt Jiang’s son has uremia?
"Yes, Xiaobao has uremia. The doctor said that dialysis is the only treatment option now."
"It's because dialysis is too expensive. The money I earn is not enough to pay for dialysis, so I owe so much money."
Aunt Jiang had no intention of hiding anything anymore, as if she had found a place to confide in.
"Xiaobao's father died in a work-related accident, and the pension he left behind was already spent on Xiaobao's medical treatment."
"I am alone, I have to take my child to the doctor, and I have to make money. I have really tried my best."
Aunt Jiang stared blankly at the eaves. "If Xiaobao doesn't do dialysis, he will die. As a mother, how can I watch my child die?"
"I'm really desperate now. I can't even keep my house. I don't know what to do next."
Lin Chaoyang sighed. He could also understand this kind of despair.
In his previous life, he was cheated of all his money and had no money to treat his illness. He also felt desperate.
But he didn't say anything directly. Instead, he comforted Aunt Jiang for a while and took Lin Chaoxing away.
On the way home, Lin Chaoxing asked in a low voice, "Brother, can we still go to Aunt Jiang's house after the holiday?"
Lin Chaoyang didn't answer, but asked, "If you can't go in the future, will you be sad?"
Lin Chaoxing nodded, "Aunt Jiang is very good to you, like a mother. Xiaobao is also good to you. He is your good friend."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Chaoyang, "Brother, will Xiaobao die?"
Lin Chaoyang sighed. He couldn't bear it, but he didn't want to lie either.
"Xingxing, Xiaobao's disease is very serious. Big brother doesn't know if he can survive."
Lin Chaoxing's tone was very sad, "I don't want Xiaobao to die, and I don't want Aunt Jiang to be so sad."
