Arguments in hospitals are not uncommon.
Lu Qin subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful face. His brain circuit was not connected and he lost the ability to react for a moment.
What, what's going on?
Lu Chunnong's hands hanging at her sides were shaking because of the intense emotional outburst just now. Seeing that he could still be distracted in such a situation, the fatigue from body to mind surged like a tide, and all the strength in her body was drained away. Her thin shoulders collapsed, and her whole body slid down the cold wall and sat on the ground. Her eyes were dull and she couldn't even cry. Outsiders could sense an unconcealable depression, and the air was full of bitterness.
Zhou Guixiang was close by, and seeing this, she glared at the silent girl angrily and hurried to pull her up. "Hey, the ground is cold. Listen to your aunt and get up first. We still need to find out where the money went and whether we can get it back."
She said this, but in her heart she sighed, "What a sin!" If she had a son like this, she would have hit him with a firewood stick and broken his legs. He knew the family was in financial difficulty, so why not steal? He stole all the life-saving money and spent it without leaving a penny. When the debt collectors from the brigade came, he probably wouldn't be able to celebrate the New Year.
Zhou Guixiang, facing her haggard state, can still recall the scene when the girl first arrived at the brigade. She had short hair that reached her shoulders, dark hair and fair skin. Although the little girl didn't like to smile, her eyes, which seemed to speak, could capture people's hearts. Now she doesn't know who to blame for her life. She feels bones with both hands.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't bear it. Standing in front of Lu Chunnong, Zhou Guixiang bent down and almost lifted her up, turning her head and urging her with a wink, "Old man, hurry up, ask again."
In order to find her brother and the family savings that he had taken away, Lu Chunnong ran around all day without eating. When Aunt Zhou forcibly pulled her up with great force, a feeling of nausea lingered in her chest, her face turned pale again, and she had a splitting headache. When she heard Aunt Zhou's words, her sore eyes stared at the young man who was standing opposite her.
Hearing the old woman's urging, Jiang Manzhu raised his pipe to his lips, then put it down again. He looked at the young man in thin but fashionable clothes and slowed down his tone to confirm with him again, "Lu Qin, your aunt and three-year-old nephew are still lying in the hospital. The elder sister has never treated you badly. I believe you can't bear it, so just tell your uncle honestly, did you really spend all the money you stole? Is there really not a penny left?"
When he said the last two sentences, his gaze almost turned into a physical entity and scanned Lu Qin.
As soon as he finished speaking, three pairs of eyes fell on the person who had remained silent from beginning to end.
But who could have guessed that this body had been replaced by a soul?
Hearing the helpless and tentative words of the old man in front of him, and combining them with their previous actions, Lu Qin's brain, which had not been connected to the line, rumbled and finally turned at high speed. He quickly made a judgment that he was now in a book and the situation was very urgent. For example, the people on the opposite side were eagerly waiting for his answer.
He quickly searched for memory information that could be used at this moment.
The atmosphere among the few people became quiet. Only faint breathing sounds could be heard, interspersed with the unique conversation sounds in the hospital. Lu Qin accidentally met Jiang Manzhu's eyes, and a very clear scene flashed in his mind. A person who looked similar to him raised his chin and said guiltily, "It's all spent." In order to confirm the result, he took out his pocket and raised his voice, "Hey, if you don't believe me, search it yourself. Why would I lie to you?"
Then, the woman opposite who couldn't even stand steadily would faint because of his two words, causing chaos.
In this case, he no longer thinks that the scenes flashing through his mind are fictional, that is, everything is real or will happen.
It’s so annoying!
After accepting the memory, Lu Qin's Adam's apple slid up and down. He knew without touching his pockets that he really didn't have a penny. The current situation was not favorable to him at all, so he had to think about how to say it so that she wouldn't faint.
Mentally prepared, Lu Qin changed his previous irritating state of slouching, hunching shoulders, and turning his head away. He slowly stood up and turned his gaze to the woman who needed his explanation.
The acting school quickly came online.
Lu Chunnong watched him walk forward without blinking his aching eyes.
Lu Qin imagined his original self apologizing after doing something wrong. He awkwardly stepped forward, lowering his head and speaking cautiously, "Sister, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."
Under his tangled black hair, Lu Qin blinked twice and continued to ponder his next sentence.
After apologizing, he raised his head, his eyes filled with genuine guilt but also revealed a hint of awkwardness. He slowly got to the point, "Well, that money hasn't been spent yet, so you can get it back."
Afraid that she would faint, Lu Qin didn't dare to look away. He hadn't observed her carefully just now. He only saw that the woman in front of him had delicate features, short hair that reached her ears, and a pair of beautiful eyes. However, the haggard look on her face seemed to have been engraved on her skin, destroying her beauty. Under the gray coat, her body seemed so thin that it would fall down with a gust of wind. It was precisely because of the memories of the original owner that people felt so sad.
But if they were siblings, his appearance should be okay? But that wasn't the point right now.
Lu Chunnong leaned limply against Aunt Zhou, her eyes almost devoid of light, only fatigue. As Lu Qin spoke, her gaze locked with his. She had heard the apology so many times she'd memorized it, but because it didn't cross her line, she'd never pointed it out. Perhaps he himself hadn't noticed. He blinked rapidly when he lied, but not this time. Perhaps she believed him, but she turned her head and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
Seeing that she didn't faint like in the plot, it meant that his words worked. Lu Qin hoped to save her as much as possible.
Noticing that the force she was leaning on was a little weaker, Aunt Zhou was relieved and smiled, "Hey, listen, I can get it back, I can get it back."
She felt that the child could still be saved. Look at his face full of guilt, which shows that he knows what is right and wrong and that he is wrong.
Jiang Manzhu also breathed a sigh of relief, his expression looking much better. He said earnestly, "Since you can get it back, you should go get it back as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected consequences. Do you want me to go with you?"
Lu Qin kept his eyes on his original sister, as if afraid she would be angry. He could only bite the bullet and explain further, "No need, uncle. I lent the money to a classmate. I'll go to his house and wait for him. Money, money, I promise to get it back by noon tomorrow at the latest. I can go by myself."
Bullshit, the money was stolen by someone. But if he went with them, he would not be able to hide the lie.
But before that, thinking of the events in the plot, he inadvertently glanced at his original sister and softly asked Jiang Manzhu, "Uncle, my sister doesn't have a penny on her right now. If she needs money later, I hope uncle and aunt can help her out first. I will pay you back tomorrow at the latest. If you are worried, I can borrow some paper from the nurse and write you a preliminary IOU."
If he leaves, it will definitely not be for a short while.
Since you're dressed as this person, at least clean up the mess.
Jiang Manzhu paused biting the pipe and looked at Zhou Guixiang. Perhaps because of his sincere attitude, Zhou Guixiang twitched her eyelids a few times in silence to show her agreement.
He stopped and agreed, "Alright, no need for the IOU. You don't have to worry about me being here. Just go get the money back first."
Before he finished, he added, "If you had said it earlier, your sister wouldn't be so angry!"
Lu Qin curled the corners of his lips slightly. He hadn't come through earlier.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt."
Oh, how rare, they even say thank you, the couple exchanged glances again.
While Lu Qin and Jiang Manzhu were talking, Lu Chunnong just stood there listening. She lowered her eyes, and for some reason, the tears that had not yet flowed seemed to be about to burst out.
This body might have a sister-brother connection with her. Lu Qin could feel it whenever she felt uncomfortable. He hated to see girls cry the most.
His brows twitched, and he hesitated whether to help her. After repeated consideration, he still stepped forward and said, "Sister,"
Lu Chunnong turned his head away and didn't want to look at him.
What's more, whenever the two siblings turn their heads, they are heading in the same direction.
Lu Qin: “…”
I don’t even know what to say.
He only needed his eyes to see that she didn't want to pay attention to him, but what could he do? The more difficult things were still to come.
"Auntie and Dongdong are still resting, so I won't go in. I'm going to go find my classmates and get the money back first."
After they finished speaking, there was no reply for a long time, and the relationship between the brother and sister became awkward.
Lu Qin had no choice but to clean up the mess.
If I had traveled through time earlier, I wouldn't have had this terrible thing. It's my fate!
Without waiting for her reply, Lu Qin nodded to Jiang Manzhu as a greeting and turned to leave the hospital. At this moment, a clear and hoarse female voice sounded, "Lu Qin."
As a result, I waited for a long time but there was no second half of the sentence.
Lu Qin turned around, thinking she had seen through his lie. His scalp tingled instantly, but he said, "Wait for me, sister."
Watching his figure disappear in the hospital, Lu Chunnong was dazed for a moment.
Zhou Guixiang followed Lu Chunnong into the ward. She was about to say something else when she looked up and saw that the person on the bed had woken up. She was very surprised, "Sister Sun, you're awake?"
Her voice was very loud. Lu Chunnong came back from her complicated thoughts, quickly turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. She cheered up in a second, making it impossible to tell that she looked so embarrassed.
Sun Laimei was the only one in the ward for the time being. There was a child lying on the other side of her bed. In order to prevent him from falling, Lu Chunnong used three chairs to block him.
Sun Laimei turned her head and coughed a few times, her face flushed. She covered her grandson's ears with both hands to prevent him from waking up. Her eyes fell on her daughter-in-law and she asked in a low voice, "What were you guys arguing about outside just now?"
When she woke up, she only vaguely heard the sound of quarreling, but it was not clear.
Lu Chunnong lowered his eyes, turned to Zhou Guixiang and smiled, thanking her sincerely, "Thank you for the whole day, auntie. I remember you have something else to do, so I won't disturb you and uncle for now."
Zhou Guixiang opened her mouth and then closed it again. Suddenly she understood something, but she wasn't angry. "Then you guys can chat first. Your uncle and I will go shopping first."
After thanking him again, the door of the ward closed.
At this moment, Sun Laimei gently tucked the quilt into her grandson, her eyes not fixed on her. "What were you arguing about just now? Why did I seem to hear Lu Qin's voice?"
The author has something to say:
I'm writing this now! I hope you'll save it if you like it. Thank you! It's a very everyday period piece.
And then, Happy New Year! Good luck in the Year of the Tiger!
