Chapter 9

The next second, a delicate and strange child's voice came out from inside.

"Auntie, I'm here, Xiaoxiao is here."

Lin Lixia didn't care about anything, turned around and ran inside.

On the snow-white hospital bed, Xiaoxiao was lying there obediently, covering her throat where the intubation had been removed with one small hand.

"Auntie, why did you come here? Xiaoxiao misses you."

Lin Lixia came forward and squatted half-kneeling beside the hospital bed.

She trembled with her big, rough-skinned hands, but she didn't dare to hold the child, so she could only hold Xiaoxiao's other hand carefully.

"My baby, you scared my aunt to death. Ever since I received your mother's call yesterday, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!"

Xiaoxiao shook Lin Lixia's hand: "My aunt is lying, you will die if your heart breaks out."

Lin Lixia suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you talking to my aunt?"

Shen Wen immediately scolded her and then pulled Lin Lixia up.

"Auntie, her airway is intubated, and the doctor is not allowed to talk much during the recovery period."

Lin Lixia quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she could not help but talk to Xiaoxiao again.

Seeing the three women going outside, Lin Yuangang wanted to follow them out.

Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted.

"dad."

Lin Yuan looked at her intently, not knowing what to ask him to do.

The little girl pressed the gauze on her throat hard, so that the air leakage would be as small as possible and she could speak more clearly.

"Dad...I will grow my neck quickly so that my family will spend less money on me."

Lin Yuan was stunned. Looking at the four-year-old little boy, he felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.

But Xiaoxiao thought he was angry, and said in a panic and eager voice: "I will grow up soon, please don't hit Xiaoxiao, okay... don't hit my mom, dad... ..Can you please stop drinking?”

This intermittent child's voice suddenly pierced Lin Yuan's heart like an awl.

How stupid was I before? How could I dare to hit her with my hands?

He looked at his daughter motionless, with no expression on his face, but suddenly burst into tears.

Xiaoxiao curled her lips. She didn't understand why Lin Yuan was crying. She thought it was because of herself.

Then she also started sobbing: "Dad, be good, don't cry. If... you want to hit me, just hit me."

Stretching out her hand with great effort, Xiaoxiao wanted to reach Lin Yuan's face so that she could wipe his tears.

Outside the door, Shen Wen asked as she walked.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you crying?"

Seeing this situation, Shen Wen became anxious: "What are you doing? Did you beat the child?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, rushed into the bathroom, and flushed his face with cold water.

After calming down for a while, he came outside.

Shen Wen and the others were preparing a meal and watched her aunt take out the pancakes, pickles and shredded vegetables that she brought from her hometown.

Lin Yuan felt even worse. When he came out to see the patient, he did not forget to bring dry food.

Does my aunt like to eat these things?

No, it’s just because of poverty!

"Brother, sit here and I'll serve you some porridge."

Wang Xue wears this pair of black-rimmed glasses. She graduated from graduate school this year and is trying to stay in school to teach at Northeastern University.

He looked at the jeans on his cousin's legs that had been washed until they turned white, and even had holes in the knees and buttocks.

Lin Yuan felt a pain in his heart.

Wang Xue is a girl who wants to be strong and sensible. Since her sophomore year, she has insisted on not giving up a penny from her family and relies on being a tutor and washing dishes to support her studies.

This is the kind of sister who is not willing to spend a few dollars to watch a movie or buy herself a lipstick.

However, she was once pestered by Lin Yuan to go to school and borrowed the 300 yuan she had saved for two months for living expenses.

In his previous life, Lin Yuan had never repaid this money, and no one else knew about it. Obviously Wang Xue did not tell his family about this.

I took away all the money for food. How did she... get here in those two months?

Looking at the bowl of porridge that Wang Xue brought to him, Lin Yuan remained motionless as if his acupuncture points had been tapped.

"Brother, can you pick it up?"

Snap...!

Lin Yuan suddenly slapped himself hard on the face. This move shocked everyone.

He murmured as if he didn't know the pain.

"I used to be such a bastard!"

"But now I want to make money, I want to become the richest person in the world!"

The voice got louder and louder, and Lin Yuan stood up with bright eyes.

"I want to give you a different life, Shen Wen, you are the queen, Xiao Xueer, you are the princess!"

After being shocked, the three women looked at Lin Yuan with worries in their eyes.

Lin Lixia came directly to touch his forehead.

"Xiaoyuan, you...just know your mistakes and correct them, but don't make yourself confused."

Lin Yuan didn't explain, because he already had a plan in mind to make money quickly. If it was feasible, he would go out to verify it later.

"Have a meal!"

Regardless of the weird looks in Wang Xue's and others' eyes, Lin Yuan devoured the food, then pushed the bowl and looked at Shen Wen.

"Give me whatever money you have left, I need some start-up capital!"

Shen Wen's face darkened and she sighed secretly.

I thought he had gotten better, but wouldn't it still be a whim to gamble?

"What are you stunned for? Give it to me quickly, don't waste time."

Looking at Lin Yuan's eager face, Shen Wen's eyes turned red.

His expression was exactly the same as every time he asked for money to gamble. If I said no, he might come and beat me in front of my aunt.

Lowering her head, Shen Wen took out a crumpled roll of change from her trouser pocket.

"You got 55 back last night. I was just asked to pay for last night's medicine, and I spent 40."

Lin Yuan took it and looked at it.

There are only 15 left, which is a bit low.

He looked at Lin Lixia and Wang Xue.

But before he could open his mouth, Lin Lixia threw away her chopsticks and covered her bag.

"Don't even think about it. I collected five hundred and brought it over, but that was life-saving money prepared for Xiaoxiao. You won't get a single cent if you go and gamble!"

"I really don't want to gamble. I'm just using it. Can you lend me a hundred?"

"roll!"

Lin Yuan looked at Wang Xue again: "Xue'er, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xue shook her head: "Brother, it's impossible. If I dare to give you a dollar, your aunt will beat me to death!"

Lin Yuan was at his wits end, so he spread his only 15 yuan in his hand.

"You don't believe me so much? Then I will swear an oath!"

"I will use these 15 yuan to earn you 150,000 yuan in ten days. If I can't do it, then I will die!"

After saying that, Lin Yuan turned around and walked away, leaving the three women behind him with dull faces.

After a while, Lin Lixia asked.

"How much did he say he would earn in ten days?"

Wang Xue swallowed and said hesitantly: "It seems to be 150,000?"

Shen Wen pushed the bowl, and the bitterness in her heart became even stronger.

Although he was idle, gambling and drinking, it was better than going crazy.
