Chapter 177 Yao Wanning asks for help
"A-choo, A-choo... A-choo!" Cui Xue sneezed three times in a row, took a piece of paper from the table and blew her nose again, then leaned on the sofa with a listless look.
"Drink the medicine quickly, don't infect the children." Liang Xiaoying brought her a glass of water, put the medicine next to her, and reminded her.
Cui Xue swallowed the medicine in one gulp, and soon she felt dizzy, so she went back to bed.
As a result, she had not been lying there for a while when guests came to her house.
Cui Xue was surprised to hear that there were guests coming to her house to look for her. She got up, put on her clothes, walked out of the room, and went to the living room, where she saw Yao Wanning.
"Wanning? Why are you here...?" Cui Xue sat down as far away from her as possible, fearing that her cold would infect her.
"Sister Xiaoxue..." Yao Wanning raised her head awkwardly and looked at her, which made her gasp for air.
"What happened to you?" The young girl who was once lively and charming now looked haggard and several years older. Cui Xue was a little confused. She didn't know what happened to her to become like this.
"Sister Xiaoxue, I beg you, save my grandma." Yao Wanning suddenly knelt down in front of her, and Cui Xue jumped up from the sofa in fear.
"What are you doing? If you have something to say, please talk to her nicely." Cui Xue didn't care about her cold and rushed over to pull her up.
Who knew that Yao Wanning just didn't get up, and begged her to save her grandma with tears in her eyes.
Cui Xue probably knew what was going on, but she couldn't just say it like that, so she kept pulling Yao Wanning up.
The noise of the two people pulling each other startled Xu and Liang Xiaoying who were outside. When they came in and saw Yao Wanning kneeling on the ground, they were surprised and stepped forward to ask what was going on.
Before anyone could answer, another person suddenly walked in from outside. Before Cui Xue noticed that someone had come in, a person suddenly rushed over to her side, grabbed Yao Wanning on the ground, and pulled her up directly.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling on the ground?" The anxious voice rang in Cui Xue's ears, which seemed familiar.
She turned her head and saw Shao Yang with an anxious look on his face. When she saw that his hand was still holding Yao Wanning's arm, she suddenly had an idea.
Then she frowned again and looked at the two of them with some worry.
No one noticed her change in expression. When Xu and Liang Xiaoying saw her being pulled up, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly comforted Yao Wanning, who was crying and gasping for breath, and asked her what happened.
Cui Xue also learned what happened from her intermittent words.
Cui Xue also met Yao Wanning's grandmother. It was her grandmother who took Yao Wanning to find Yao Liwen at Yao Liwen's house that day.
She thought Yao Wanning's grandmother had returned to her hometown, but she didn't expect that she had been living with Yao Wanning in Xishi.
It's just that Yao Wanning lived in the house that Cui Xue rented before, while her grandmother lived in a low-rise bungalow with cheap rent, and lived by picking up waste every day.
It’s not that Yao Wanning hadn’t thought about bringing her grandmother to live with her, but the old lady was stubborn and had always refused because she was afraid of causing trouble for Yao Wanning and Cui Xue.
A few years ago, Yao Wanning finally persuaded her grandmother to come here to celebrate the New Year with her, but when the time came, her grandmother was nowhere to be seen.
She went to look for her anxiously and found that her grandmother had collapsed at home with injuries all over her body, and she didn’t know whether she was dead or alive.
After sending her to the hospital, the old lady was found to have multiple external injuries and fractures. The most important thing was that she had a heart problem and needed surgery urgently.
However, the cost of surgery was not low. Yao Wanning could afford the hospitalization fee and treatment fee, but she couldn’t afford the extra surgery fee.
She also went to Yao Liwen for help, but Yao Liwen was unwilling to help her. She had no choice but to come to Cui Xue.
After hearing this, except for Cui Xue, everyone else looked at Yao Wan Ning with pity.
Shao Yang was the first to take out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, his face slightly red, "That's all I have, although I can't help you much, you keep it first."
Cui Xue and Yao Wan Ning both looked at her, Yao Wan Ning had tears on her face, but her eyes were hesitant.
Children of poor families grow up early, and she is more mature than others, so she naturally knows that Shao Yang is interested in her.
But thinking of his identity, Yao Wan Ning's inner inferiority made her unable to accept Shao Yang.
So she hesitated for a few seconds and returned the money, "Thank you, but we are not related, I can't take your money."
Cui Xue raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Yao Wan Ning to be so sober, which made her look at her with a higher opinion.
But if you are not related to Shao Yang, you can't ask for his money. Does that mean you are not related to her?
Oh, no, it was borrowed from her.
But no matter what, the other grandmother is Yao Liwen's relative. It's not right for Yao Liwen to watch her die without helping.
"Xiaoxue, what do you think?" Xu looked at Cui Xue with a distressed look on her face.
She and Liang Xiaoying both had money, but Yao Wanning came to ask Cui Xue for help. They couldn't say they would give her money at this time. They could only watch Cui Xue make the decision.
Cui Xue thought about it and asked them to go out first. She wanted to talk to Yao Wanning alone.
Hearing her say this, Xu and Liang Xiaoying turned around and left without thinking, while Shao Yang looked at Yao Wanning hesitantly and hurt.
Yao Wanning turned her head away without looking at his expression.
Shao Yang had no choice but to turn around and leave, looking back every few steps.
After everyone left, Cui Xue looked at Yao Wan Ning for a long time before she spoke: "Why didn't your aunt help you?"
She was talking about Yao Liwen. This question had been lingering in her mind for a long time, and today she finally asked it.
Yao Wan Ning shuddered and looked up at her. Her face was very hesitant and embarrassed, and even had other emotions that Cui Xue couldn't understand.
She didn't answer Cui Xue's question immediately, and the scene was frighteningly quiet for a while.
After a long time, the expression on Yao Wan Ning's face returned to calm.
"My dad is a lousy gambler." As soon as she opened her mouth, even though she had tried her best to endure it, Cui Xue still heard the hatred in her voice.
Cui Xue could guess what was going to happen next.
But Yao Wanning seemed to have turned on a switch. After she said the first sentence, the rest of her words became much simpler.
Yao Wanning's father was a gambler. The whole village knew about it. Her family was torn apart because of her father.
He lost all his property, his wife, and was so crazy that he even didn't let his own children go.
Yao Wanning's mother was sold by her father. Two years later, she got a dirty disease and died. Her older brother and sister were also sold.
There has been no news for these years. No one knows whether she died or what. She was lucky because her grandmother secretly took her away before she was sold.
Although these years were difficult, she is still alive, grew up healthily, and even had books to read.
But just when she thought good days were coming, her father came back and beat her grandmother.
