Okay, how much money do you need?" Ye Li asked.
"One hundred yuan. One hundred yuan short!"
Jiang Hao stretched out his hand, and Ye Li took out a hundred yuan from her bag and put it in Jiang Hao's hand. Jiang Hao carefully folded the money and put it in his pocket.
"Come on, Mom. I'll take you to find your big brother!" After wiping the tears from his face, Jiang Hao prepared to drag his mother to find his big brother.
But as soon as Jiang Hao took his mother's hand, he cried out.
"Mom, Dad hit my arm so hard!"
After hearing what Jiang Hao said, Jiang Xun threw away the feather duster in his hand and rolled up Jiang Hao's sleeves.
There was a deep mark on Jiang Hao's slender arm. It seemed that he had indeed hit him too hard.
"Jiang Hao, does it hurt when dad hits you?" Jiang Xun felt a little sorry for his son.
...
...
"It hurts a little. Dad, can you spank me next time? The flesh on my butt is thick and can withstand the beating."
Jiang Hao's words successfully made Jiang Xun and Ye Li laugh.
"You still want to be beaten! Just don't steal things again. Remember to discuss anything with your mother, okay?" Ye Li looked at the little adult in front of him and taught him patiently.
"I got it! I will never steal anything again! I will tell my mother directly and let her work with me to find a solution to the problem!" Jiang Hao nodded sensibly.
"Dad, you won't have the chance to hit me again!" Jiang Hao said, then put down his sleeves and took Ye Li out of the room.
"Brother, I want to go with you to find the big brother! That big brother is so nice and often takes us out to play." Jiang Li also wanted to go.
"You just stay at home. My mother and I are going there to do some serious business, not to play." After saying this, Jiang Hao went to the next yard with Ye Li.
The two walked to the door of a room, and Jiang Hao walked up and knocked on the door.
"Brother Wei, Brother Wei. Are you there?" Jiang Hao started shouting when he saw that no one opened the door.
"The big brother you are talking about is surnamed Wei?" Ye Li thought this was too much of a coincidence, but Ye Li still asked one more question.
"So how old is your older brother?"
"Well, he seems to be ten years old. I remember asking my big brother last time." As soon as Jiang Hao said this, Ye Li's eyes widened instantly.
Could it be that the big brother Jiang Hao was referring to was actually Xiao Wei’s younger brother from her factory?
"Who is it?" There was finally movement in the house.
The door opened and a pale and skinny little boy appeared at the door.
"Xiao Hao! Why are you here?" Wei Mingming was very surprised to see Jiang Hao coming, but the surprise in his eyes disappeared instantly when he saw Ye Li standing beside him.
"Big brother, I'll bring my mother to see you."
"Xiao Hao, were you scolded because of me... Auntie, I'm very sorry. I know I shouldn't ask Xiao Hao for money. But..." Wei Mingming said and lowered his head.
"Don't be sad, big brother. Mom didn't come here to ask you for money. Instead, she came here to give you money! Mom just gave me another hundred yuan, so you can buy medicine again!" Jiang Hao said excitedly as he took out the money and stuffed it into Wei Mingming's hand.
Wei Mingming raised his head in surprise, looked at Jiang Hao, and then at Ye Li.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
Other children had given him money before, but when the parents of those children found out, they came after him and asked for the money back.
From then on, he would not easily accept money from children. But Jiang Hao insisted on giving him the money. After he refused several times, he finally accepted the money. After all, he needed money to buy medicine. Their family conditions were not good. If he had money to buy medicine, it would reduce some of the burden on the family.
"Thank you, Auntie, and thank you, Xiaohao. I remember all the money you gave me. I will return it to you when I grow up and earn money!" Wei Mingming said as he ran back to the house and took out a piece of paper and a pencil from the drawer.
Ye Li and Jiang Hao followed in curiously and found that all the money Xiao Hao gave was recorded on this piece of paper. And the date was written behind the money.
"Jiang Hao, it seems that you have taken a lot of money from home." Ye Li took a look and found that the earliest payment was two months ago.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Jiang Hao lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Okay, Mom won't blame you anymore. Little boy, what's your name?" Ye Li looked at Wei Mingming and asked.
"Aunt, my name is Wei Mingming. My brother works in the weaving factory. Xiaohao told me that you are the director of the weaving factory?"
"Yes, I am."
Ye Li nodded.
"Auntie, is my brother feeling better? Dad has been in the hospital since this morning and hasn't come back yet." Wei Mingming thought of his elder brother who was in the hospital.
"Much better. Your father should be back soon." When Ye Li saw Wei Mingming's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to tell the truth.
"That's great! I hope brother can recover and come home soon." After hearing Ye Li's answer, Wei Mingming finally smiled.
"I see it's getting late, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet... I haven't had lunch yet..."
"You haven't even had lunch! Come on, go home with Auntie and have something to eat."
Jiang Hao was very happy to hear that his mother was going to bring his elder brother home for dinner. He took his elder brother's hand and led him out of the house.
"No, no! I won't go. I'll wait for my dad. He will be back soon." Wei Mingming immediately retracted his hand and refused to go home with Ye Li and Jiang Hao.
Seeing that Wei Mingming was very resistant, Ye Li did not force her.
"Just wait for the two of us. We'll be back shortly."
After that, Ye Li took Jiang Hao back home. After arriving home, Ye Li took out a pack of snacks from the cupboard, and asked Jiang Hao to get a few steamed buns that Zhao Xingmei had made at noon from the kitchen.
The two men put the things in a basket and took it to Wei Mingming.
"Thank you, Auntie! Thank you, Xiaohao! You are so nice!" Wei Mingming took the things and kept thanking the two of them.
Wei Mingming put the things on the table and took out the paper.
"You're not going to write down the things we give you on paper, are you? Forget it." Ye Li didn't expect Wei Mingming to be so cute that he even recorded the food given to him.
"Yes, I will write it down! When I grow up and can earn money, I will buy delicious food for Xiaohao! My father and brother taught me to be grateful. Whenever others help me, I must write it down so that I won't forget it in the future." After Wei Mingming answered Ye Li's words, he picked up a pencil and carefully recorded a box of snacks and some buns in his small account book.
"What a good kid."
Ye Li couldn't help but sigh that although Wei Mingming's family was very unfortunate, such a family raised a child who could distinguish right from wrong and had extremely positive values.
Ye Li suddenly felt that the question she asked in the hospital today was too cruel.
This is equivalent to someone asking her, if Jiang Hao and Jiang Li both fell into the water, and she could only choose one child, who would she save?
Just when Ye Li was regretting asking that question, Wei Mingming's father came back.
"Director Ye! Why are you here?"
