Chapter 53 Brother, it’s great that you can come
"Aunt Li..."
"I want to go pick her up myself, but I can't leave now. Nuannuan's dad, you know, Xu Jiao asked me to be Sister Wu's nurse. I figured, being a nurse for her is one thing, and being a nurse for the patient next door is the same. They've already paid, so what's the point of me leaving? Nuannuan's dad, neighbors, please help me."
Father An frowned. "Aunt Li, it's not that I don't want to help. I've never met your sister, so how could I help? How could you forget about her? Three hours? Is she still alive?"
Aunt Li started to cry, "She should still be here. My sister is honest and she doesn't have a cell phone. I told her to wait under the electric pole at the gate after getting off the car. I was busy with Sister Wu's massage and didn't hear my phone ring. I just took it out and saw that she had already arrived. This is my fault. Sister Wu kept talking to me and asked me how long it would take for Xu Jiao to pay back the money."
"Nuannuan's dad, please help me pick up my sister first. Xu Jiao is here. When she gives me the money, I will help you make her pay me back. Nuannuan's dad, please ride faster. Please, my sister is having a hard time. She's in an unfamiliar place and doesn't have a cell phone. What if she runs into bad guys in the middle of the night?"
"Nuannuan's father..."
Father An's brows were furrowed. "Okay, I'll ride my bike to the bus station now. Send me a WeChat message about your sister's name and what she looks like."
Father An thought that it was not easy for everyone, including the neighbors. She took care of Wu Qingqing and helped ask Xu Jiao, a girl from another place who had no contact information on her. It was really dangerous.
"Okay, okay, thank you Nuannuan's dad."
After hanging up the phone, Aunt Li took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I have fought hard for you. You should be more responsible, don't run around, just stay there."
Father An put the iron rod on his motorcycle and rode to the bus station. Aunt Li was also amazing as she managed to forget about him.
The alley was not far from the bus station, a 40-minute drive. When An's father came on his bike, the road was deserted. He looked around and saw a woman hugging her legs with her head buried in her knees. The street lights were bright yellow and the breeze was blowing. She looked very lonely and pitiful.
Father An wasn't sure if this woman was Aunt Li's sister. He stopped the car and called out, "Zhu Xiulian? Are you Zhu Xiulian, Aunt Li's sister?"
Zhu Xiulian was always in a negative mood. People passing by would ask her from time to time, "Sister, why don't you go home? Sister, where do you live?"
People are evil. Zhu Xiu Lian didn't say a word. She just hugged her legs and cried bitterly.
Suddenly, an anxious male voice came from above her head, and he asked her if she was Zhu Xiu Lian.
Zhu Xiulian thought she was hallucinating. Father An then compared the photos of her that Aunt Li had sent her. "Zhu Xiulian, I'm sorry. Don't blame your sister. She was so busy that she forgot about you. She asked me to pick you up. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person..." As he spoke, Father An called Aunt Li. Zhu Xiulian heard the person say, "Aunt Li, I saw your sister, but she had her head down. I'm not sure if it was her. Please call her on the phone."
Father An was still calling via video, and Aunt Li immediately called out, "Xiu Lian, sister, Nuan Nuan's dad is here to pick you up. I'm sorry, sister, I'm so busy. Nuan Nuan's dad, I'm leaving my sister in your care. Please take her back to your home first, and I'll call you later."
Father An: "..."
Zhu Xiu Lian was not hallucinating. When she heard her sister's voice, she suddenly raised her head.
Father An was still shocked. How could he bring her home and see Zhu Xiu Lian's true face?
She was even prettier than in the photo, but because she hadn't waited for Aunt Li, she was feeling down. When she looked up, her face was full of tears. Father An's heart skipped a beat. "Sister, don't cry. Your sister didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I should have ridden faster. Didn't you get harassed by any bad guys?"
Father An got off the motorcycle. He couldn't stand seeing a woman cry.
Although I am not familiar with her, if I put myself in her shoes, I can imagine that she must be feeling very helpless.
Aunt Li is not a forgetful person, so how could she forget?
Zhu Xiu Lian was not sure whether the person her sister introduced to her would really come.
He looked even friendlier than in the photos. Even though he knew she was there, not because he was upset, he still apologized. My sister said he was a righteous and warm-hearted person, and she was right.
Zhu Xiu Lian quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks and wanted to get up, but she had been sitting for too long and was unable to get up or fall backwards.
Seeing this, An's father reached out and helped her up. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat first, and then I'll take you to your sister's house. Don't worry, your sister will call me when she's done. If all else fails, your brother-in-law is still home. Get in the car. Sorry, I left so quickly. It's a model car. Do you mind?"
Zhu Xiulian smiled and said, "I don't mind. It's already great. Brother, it's really great that you can come."
The word "brother" sounded a bit tearful, which made An's father feel inexplicably soft in his heart.
It seems that she is really scared. What should she do if Aunt Li doesn't call him?
"It's okay. We are all neighbors. We should help each other. It's just a small matter. Don't take it to heart. Get in the car. Hold on to me. I'll drive slowly." An's father's tone was like coaxing a child.
Zhu Xiulian nodded, "Okay, thank you brother, thank you for your help."
When An's father sent Zhu Xiulian to Aunt Li's house, Aunt Li told him, "Nuannuan's father, look at my memory. I called you to pick up my sister because my husband was not home. Nuannuan's father, let my sister stay with you for one night. My husband took the key. He knows I will stay home at night to accompany him."
Father An: "..."
——Feeling tricked! ?
