Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 424 I Went Out to Meet a Friend
Ever since he was reborn, Chen Li consciously avoided lying.

This can be regarded as the experience of his previous life, because often a lie needs countless lies to support it.

But in fact~ Chen Li still inevitably needs to lie in life.

Such as rebirth ~ such as the system, all belong to Chen Li's ulterior secrets.

So in order to cover up something, Chen Li needs to constantly make up some lies to complete the cover up.

Just like the current Chen Li, after he made up the identity of a friend of Qi Xiaobo's brother, he had to continue to make up lies for this identity.

"I'm not from Urumqi, but my second dad is from Licheng. Every time I go to his place, I pass by Urumqi."

"Your brother helped me once before, and we met because of that."

"I didn't get the news of your brother's death until a long time later."

"This time passing through Urumqi, I just heard from a friend that your mother was in a car accident, so I came to visit."

To be honest~ To be honest, this lie is not very rigorous.

But in fact~ no one will study the authenticity of this lie, because Chen Li's purpose is actually very pure.

He is here to help~ not to seek any benefits from Qi Xiaobo and his family!
So when faced with such a not-so-serious lie, Qi Xiaobo easily took the lie as the truth.

"Uh~Chen...Brother Chen, I'm sorry~"

"I just thought...!"

After the anger dissipated, Qi Xiaobo's emotions returned to calm, and his personality problems were revealed again, and this guy started to stutter again because of nervousness.

Fortunately, Chen Li has long been used to this guy's personality, so he asked directly:

"Brother Ni owes someone money?"

"Ok!"

"How much do you owe?"

"More than 1~ but now it's only [-] short!"

"Actually, that's enough, it's just my mom this time!"

"Is Auntie's medical expenses enough?"

"Enough!"

"What about post-operative care?"

".!"

When Qi Xiaobo stutters, the best way is to ask him. It is much more convenient to ask him to answer directly than to ask him to tell.

But when Chen Li asked about the cost of post-operative care, Qi Xiaobo was silent.

Obviously ~ the cost of this piece is definitely not enough.

In fact, Chen Li knew this a long time ago, he himself came here for this.

Although Qi Xiaobo's mother had an operation in the previous life, the Qi family had already scraped together the operation fee, and the Qi family couldn't afford the post-operative care expenses at all.

In the end~ Mother Qi went through the discharge procedures after only staying in the hospital for a short time after the operation.

It seemed that there was no problem with this, but in fact, Qi's mother's physical condition was not suitable for discharge from the hospital at all.

Especially at home, it is often not so convenient, and it will even affect Qi's mother's physical recovery.

However, the nursing fee stumped the Qi family. In the end, Qi's mother could only be discharged from the hospital early with her body that had not fully recovered, and thus fell to the root of the disease.

A few years later~ Qi's mother passed away, and this incident was also remembered by Qi Xiaobo for a lifetime.

"You take the money to pay off the debt."

"The hospital can swipe the card, please take me to the place where the bill is paid."

"No"

Qi Xiaobo subconsciously prepared to refuse, but he closed his mouth as soon as he said a word.

He knew that it was wrong to rashly accept other people's kindness!

If the family can come up with money, he will definitely continue to refuse.

But the family really couldn't get the money out.

In the past few days, Qi Xiaobo's father borrowed almost all the money he could borrow, but the money he borrowed was not enough to support his mother's future nursing expenses.

Today my father went to find his former comrade-in-arms and said that he should be able to borrow some money.

But when my mother had the operation before, my father had already borrowed money from his former comrade-in-arms.

Nobody's money comes from the wind, even if they want to help their family, they may be powerless.

So. In this case, Qi Xiaobo couldn't say no to it.

reject?Why refuse?
His mother is still lying on the hospital bed, and his father is still running around for nursing expenses.

If his father hadn't borrowed money this time, maybe his mother would have to leave the hospital early.

In other words, if he rejected Chen Li this time, he might be rejecting the opportunity to make his mother recover.

So at this moment, Qi Xiaobo~ after saying a single word, immediately closed his mouth, and honestly led Chen Li to the payment office of the hospital.

Fortunately, hospitals these days already support card swiping, and Chen Li swiped 2 yuan at one time.

Qi's mother's operation fee has already been paid, but if it's just nursing expenses, the 2 yuan is enough for Qi's mother to fully recover.

"Thank you Brother Chen!"

After Chen Li paid the fee, Qi Xiaobo directly bowed to Chen Li, his head almost dropped to the ground.

And when he raised his head, his eye sockets were obviously rosy, and he was almost crying.

Qi Xiaobo in [-]~actually, he was just full.

Although he is considered an adult at this age, Qi Xiaobo is still a child before he has been tempered by society.

At this moment, Qi Xiaobo was actually in a daze.

I thought I was almost in a desperate situation~ But suddenly a friend of my brother fell from the sky, and this friend of my brother was a bit fierce.

He is very aggressive when you meet him, and even likes to pat him on the head.

But Qi Xiaobo is not disgusted at all, at least not now.

Since it's my brother's friend, it should also be his brother's class. So being slapped on the head is actually nothing.

Moreover, the other party helped his family solve the troubles, which made Qi Xiaobo completely at a loss what to say and do at this time.

In fact, if Qi Xiaobo had calmed down a bit, he should have called his father quickly and let his father handle it.

But the young Qi Xiaobo didn't think of this at all at the moment.

Basically, it is what Chen Li says. He does what he does.

Faced with the expenses that Chen Li helped to advance, although Qi Xiaobo did not refuse, he still knew that no one's money came from the wind.

So Qi Xiaobo asked the nurse to borrow a pen and paper, and wrote Chen Li an IOU of 8000 yuan.

The IOU was written very irregularly. If Chen Lizhen had any malicious intentions towards Qi Xiaobo, it is estimated that this IOU alone could make a lot of articles.

But Qi Xiaobo wrote very seriously, and Chen Li didn't stop him.

"Brother Chen~ don't worry."

"I, Qi Xiaobo, keep my word. I will return the money to you as soon as possible."

Qi Xiaobo, who has not been tempered too much by the society, knows that 8000 yuan is a lot of money, but Qi Xiaobo believes that he will definitely earn this money soon.

Hmm~ This is the same as what Chen Li thought when he gave up repeating his studies in his previous life and went to work outside.

At that time, Chen Li wanted to go to work in the factory, and his monthly salary was about 1000 yuan including food and housing. He used 800 yuan for himself, and saved the remaining [-] yuan, so he could save [-] yuan a year.

But in fact, after entering the factory, I realized that if I want to get 1000 yuan, I have to work overtime for several hours every day.

It's fine if you're tired~ But after working so hard to get the salary you got for a month, you can't save it at all in the end.

If you go out for a walk, you will lose one-fifth of your money, and if you go out for a few more laps, your monthly salary will not even be enough.

Of course~ maybe Qi Xiaobo can save money, after all, being in debt and not being in debt are two completely different concepts.

But Qi Xiaobo has no education and no skills, even when he works in a KTV, he can only be a waiter.

With his current salary, it may take years to pay back the 8000 yuan.

But Chen Li didn't say anything, just nodded, and then took the IOU written by Qi Xiaobo.

"Okay~ Auntie is still resting, so I won't bother you!"

Chen Li stuffed the IOU into his empty wallet, and then looked at Qi Xiaobo, who was wearing yellow hair.

"Don't dye your hair in the future, you look like a bastard."

After speaking~ Chen Li turned around and prepared to leave.

"Oh~ I will! Brother Chen"

Qi Xiaobo agreed, and then...seeing that Chen Li was leaving, he wanted to stay.

It's not that he plans to keep Chen Li for something, it's just a subconscious reaction, he thinks that at the very least, he should let his mother see this brother's friend!

But Qi Xiaobo shouted, not knowing what to say, and when Chen Li turned his head to stare at him, this guy froze.

"Stupid!"

Looking at Qi Xiaobo, Chen Li laughed and cursed inexplicably in his heart.

Then~ Chen Li seemed to remember something, took out his own business card from his wallet and handed it to Qi Xiaobo.

"Go back and take care of your mother!"

"Call me when your mother recovers, and I'll find you a job then."

After saying this, Chen Li turned and left, even though he felt Qi Xiaobo walking a long way behind him, he didn't stop.

This scene seems a bit chic, and he left freely after doing good deeds.However.
"Damn. How the hell did I give all the money to Bo Tsai just now?"

"This is so special."

At the entrance of the hospital, Chen Li, who was just about to take a taxi, looked at his empty wallet and was speechless.

I just patronized dressing forks, and completely forgot that I had to take a taxi back to the hotel.

Chen Li had no choice but to find the security guard of the hospital and ask the location of the nearby cash machine.

Fortunately, there are bank outlets or cash machines near the general hospital. Chen Li withdrew 200 yuan, and then felt distressed because of the handling fee deducted from the money.

It's quite funny to say that Chen Li didn't even feel distressed after spending a total of 3 yuan tonight.

But at this time, because of the 200 yuan deducted handling fee from the ATM, Chen Li felt a bit pained.

The main reason is that the fees for withdrawing money across provinces and banks are really high these days.

In fact~ when he swiped his card at the hospital before, he also deducted the handling fee.

But at this time, Chen Li felt extra distressed by the few dollars the bank charged for withdrawing money.

Everyone understands this emotion!

"Ok?"

After withdrawing the money, Chen Li took a taxi again and returned to the hotel.

But~ when he returned to his room, Chen Li saw the door of the room not far away opened, and the little heads of Wang Yan and Chen Xue stuck out from inside, and then... Chen Tingting's little head also poked out from the room.

The three girls were arranged in the same room tonight, but it was obvious that the little traitor Wang Yan betrayed Chen Li, at least Chen Xue and Chen Tingting already knew something.

Seeing this~ Chen Li waved at the three of them.

"Brother~ why did you go?"

Chen Xue was the first to respond to Chen Li's waving, and went directly to the door of Chen Li's room, and immediately questioned Chen Li.

"That's right ~ Brother Li, it's best not to go out and run around at night."

The relationship between Chen Tingting and Chen Li became much closer today because of the gift Chen Li prepared, so this girl also reminded her at this time.

Only Wang Yan didn't say anything, just lowered her head and pretended to be cute.

The appearance of this girl made Chen Li angry and wanted to laugh, and finally he couldn't hold back and directly raised his hand to rub Wang Yan's head.

"I went out to meet a friend."

"I'm going to do some business here in Xijiang, so I went to a friend to find out about the situation."

Now that he was informed, Chen Li had no choice but to fabricate another lie. After all, he couldn't honestly say that he was going to help his brothers in the previous life, could he?

When it came to business, Chen Xue and Chen Tingting stopped thinking about it.

After all, although Chen Li is considered their peer, but Chen Li's elder brother is obviously different from them.

"Business? Is it very profitable?"

The girl Chen Xue even asked a casual question, but in the end, Chen Li didn't answer the girl and didn't continue to ask.

Because Chen Li suddenly found a bag of snacks from his suitcase.

Wang Yan was a little confused, because when Chen Li's suitcase was in Yanjing, she and Liu Qingqing actually helped organize it.

She remembered that when she tidied up in the morning, there were no such snacks in the suitcase?
Of course~ Although it was strange to have an extra bag of snacks in the suitcase, Wang Yan only subconsciously thought that it was Chen Li who put it in later.

In fact, Wang Yan didn't know at all that this pocket of snacks was just "taken" by Chen Li from the system space into the suitcase.

Based on Wang Yan's current experience, to put it mildly, this girl probably doesn't even understand the concept of the system, so it is impossible to think too much about it.

Most of these snacks were prepared for Chen Xue, because in her previous life, when Chen Xue came to Xijiang for the first time, she suffered a lot in the end because of her unaccustomed diet.

Speaking of it ~ 20 years later, the term "acclimatization" seems to be mentioned less and less.

But in the early days, acclimatization was actually a very painful thing.

The so-called acclimatization refers to the inability to adapt to the climatic conditions or eating habits of a place.

When Chen Xue came to Xijiang for the first time in her previous life, she fell ill because of the climate and unaccustomed diet.

So this time, in order to avoid this situation, Chen Li stored many things in the space rented by the system.

Snacks ~ medicines ~ and even a variety of condiments.

For this reason~ Chen Li packed a suitcase by himself, and did not let Liu Qingqing and Wang Yan do it, in order to deceive others.

So. When Chen Li dug out those snacks, Chen Xue jumped on them excitedly.

"Wow~ It's all my favorite food."

"Brother~ you are too kind!"

"Long live my brother!"
