Zhao Yilu gently stroked Fan Hua's face with his big hands and said, "He came back almost at dawn last night. The little rascal is called Lin Chao, he is only sixteen years old this year, and he does have a twin sister named Lin Xi who is seriously ill and needs care. The public security comrades gave him a serious warning and did not sentence him because he was under eighteen years old and a first-time offender, and he stole the money to pay for his sister's medical treatment, and did not cause any bad influence or harm."
"Brother Youcheng and I sent him home last night. His parents committed suicide in the cowshed a few years ago, leaving only the two of them. Life is really hard for them. I gave him the twenty dollars in my pocket. I'll help him as much as I can!"
Fan Hua nodded with a heavy heart. She had not expected that the little gangster had such a miserable life. Although she was not a saint, when she thought about her own twin children, it was easy for her to substitute Yuanxiao and his sister for this little gangster and his sister.
So he asked, "What disease does her sister have?"
"It looks like pneumonia. The fever has been high and won't go away. They don't have much savings to begin with, and they used it all to buy medicine for their sister, so Lin Chao came out to steal money yesterday."
"Then let's go see them again today. If we can help them, we'll do so. After all, we have twins, a boy and a girl, so let's do some good things for them."
Zhao Yilu nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there after breakfast."
Today is New Year's Eve, and there is a bustling noise everywhere. After breakfast, Zhao Yilu wants to take Fan Hua to see Lin Tao and his sister, and Fan Youcheng wants to go with them when he hears about it.
He was really bored staying at the He family, and he didn't know what he could do to help. Even Yuanxiao's siblings were eager to be taken care of by several elderly people. Moreover, the elderly people were particularly polite to him, and even if he was thick-skinned, he was really embarrassed!
Fan Hua had no objection. If she hadn't been busy the past two days, she would have wanted to take her brother out for a walk a long time ago.
Zhao drove the car all the way, and soon the three of them arrived at where Lin Chao and his sister lived. This was a dilapidated village in the city, and the house looked shabby. They got out of the car, walked along the narrow path to a house and knocked on the door.
Lin Chao opened the door and saw them. He was surprised. "Why are you here? Are you here to get back the twenty dollars from last night?"
Fan Hua didn't rush to answer Lin Chao, but looked into the room and asked, "How is your sister?"
The room was very simple and all the furnishings could be seen at a glance. Lin Xi was lying weakly on a broken bed with a flushed face.
Lin Chao frowned, his face full of worry, "She had a fever again last night and it hasn't subsided. I plan to take her to a big hospital today."
Fan Hua walked over and touched Lin Xi's forehead. It was indeed terribly hot, so she quickly said, "What are you waiting for? We drove here. Hurry up and carry her to the car and help take her to the hospital!"
Lin Chao was stunned for a moment, and it was only after Fan Youcheng urged him to come back to his senses. He looked at the few people with gratitude, immediately picked up Lin Xi and followed them to the car.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed that it was indeed acute pneumonia. Because the patient had been delayed for several days, he was now in danger and had to be hospitalized as soon as possible. Fan Hua helped to prepay the hospitalization fee of 100 yuan without saying a word.
Lin Chao knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, "Thank you for saving my sister. I will definitely pay you back when I make money."
Fan Hua immediately said, "Get up quickly. I don't want to shorten my life. Get up and talk properly."
Lin Chao stood up immediately after hearing what Fan Hua said. Fan Hua looked at him for a moment and asked, "Will you steal again in the future?"
Lin Chao scratched his head in embarrassment, his face instantly turning red because of embarrassment. "If I hadn't really had no other choice, I would never steal money. And even if I did, I would only steal from people with a good financial situation. I didn't steal all the money, I only stole 80 yuan, because I felt that such people could still have a good New Year even if they lost a few dozen yuan..."
The more Lin Chao spoke, the less confident he became. He felt that no matter how much he said, it was all just an excuse. If it was stolen, it was stolen.
Seeing that his eyes were pure and sincere, Fan Hua said, "I am not helping your sister for nothing. After all, every penny I earn is hard-earned. So you have to pay me back this hundred yuan in the future. You can use your work to pay off the debt."
When Lin Chao heard Fan Hua say this, he was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
I immediately asked, "How can I pay off my debt with work? Is there anything I can do?"
Fan Hua nodded. "I need to go back and discuss the details with my family. You take good care of your sister first. I will tell you what to do after the New Year."
After saying this, Fan Hua didn't stay any longer and took Zhao Yilu and Fan Youcheng away. Today was New Year's Eve and their families were waiting for them to go back and celebrate the New Year. Fan Hua felt that it was good enough to be able to help to this extent. She was not a saint and she had her own considerations for helping them. The rest depended on them themselves.
On the way back, Zhao Yilu asked Fan Hua what her plan was. Fan Hua did not hide anything and directly expressed her thoughts, "Yilu, we will return to Yangcheng after the New Year. We can't wait to help grandma and grandpa move. If Lin Xi can be cured this time, I want these two brothers and sisters to take care of the two elderly people in the future. What do you think?"
"Take care of grandma and grandpa? How?" Zhao Yilu asked the question that was in his mind.
"Grandma has not been in good health, and the two of them are old. I am worried that there is no one to accompany them. In fact, it would be best if the four old people could live together, but it is obvious that grandma and grandpa would rather live in their old house. Today I saw that Lin Chao is quite smart, so I want Lin Chao to stay with grandpa in the future, just like Xiao Zhou, the guard beside grandpa, to help with moving and running errands, and accompany grandpa to sell calligraphy and paintings. It would be even better if they can cook, and they can also help with cooking..."
"Also, I saw today that the house the brother and sister live in is really too dangerous. There is a risk of collapse at any time. The Zhao family's old house is very large, so it shouldn't be a big deal for them to live there."
"So I think since their parents have lived in the cowshed, they must have had a pretty good life before. If they are good at studying, let them take care of their grandparents in exchange for the opportunity to continue studying. If they are not suitable for studying, then keep them for two years temporarily, and move them out when they are 18 years old and have stronger survival abilities."
"Of course, this is just my own idea. I need to go back and ask my grandparents before making a decision. They have to agree to it. If they don't, I will help them think of other ways to survive."
"Even if the two elders agree, I still need to go back and draft a detailed contract and think more carefully to prevent the cuckoo from taking over the magpie's nest or the farmer and the snake from happening."
Fan Hua said a lot in one breath, and Zhao Yilu listened very carefully the whole time. His wife was always so kind, filial, and thoughtful, which made him feel warm in his heart.
He nodded, expressing his approval to his wife, "I think you have thought it through very carefully, and grandma and grandpa will definitely agree."
Fan Youcheng, who was standing by, had a new understanding of his sister. He had only not seen her for a year and a half, and she had really changed so much! She was also very eloquent and completely different from before. He couldn't help but wonder, was this person still his sister? !
