I am a super cop

Gu Chen never imagined that he would meet a middle-aged man living such a desolate life outside the library.

Originally, it was simply thought that the man might just encounter some short-term difficulties, resulting in a lack of income.

This is how to save food and money. On my birthday, I ordered a roast whole chicken takeaway for myself, which was regarded as a birthday dinner to reward myself.

But such a simple and unpretentious wish was suddenly shattered at night.

The takeaway was stolen, causing him to have an emotional breakdown.

Gu Chen thought that she might be able to order a roast whole chicken takeaway for him, and help this middle-aged man spend this difficult birthday.

Unexpectedly, this conversation between the man and his wife instantly overturned Gu Chen's cognition.

From the phone, Gu Chen could hear that the man had also made a huge determination, and then he made a decision that seemed very unreasonable, that is to let his wife give up treatment and wait for death at home.

Such a cruel reality really made it hard for Gu Chen to imagine, this is the behavior a husband should have.

But looking back, the man may be under too much pressure, the elderly, children, mortgage and car loan, and the high medical expenses of 12 per month.

The heavy pressure may be like a mountain, crushing the man mercilessly.

It is also because of this that on his birthday, the takeaway was stolen, which may have become the last straw that crushed the man.

At the same time that the man hung up the phone, it seemed that his sadness could no longer be concealed.

The man suddenly sat on the ground and wept loudly, completely ignoring his personal image.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and quickly sat next to the man. Lu Weiwei also warmly handed over the tissue:

"Then what? Sir, wipe your tears first."

"Thank you." The middle-aged man did not refuse Lu Weiwei this time, but took the tissue directly and put it in the corner of his eyes to wet it with tears.

Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Your lover?"

"It's the late stage." The man seemed very calm between his words.

Gu Chen continued to ask: "Is there no other way?"

The man shook his head: "The doctor has already said that there is no other way. Even if we continue to treat, it will only prolong life."

"But I really can't afford the monthly renewal fee of nearly 12."

Sucking his nose, the man choked up and said, "I know, even if I borrow all kinds of things to make money, it will be difficult for me to get together the 12 a month treatment fee."

"I still have children at home, and elderly people who need to be taken care of, and I still have the pressure of mortgage and car loans every month."

"Now I wake up every day and have to work three jobs part-time. I even dare to eat only two meals a day, or even one meal a day."

Rubbing his face with rough hands, the man also glanced at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei beside him, and said aggrievedly:

"When I learned from the doctor that my wife could not be saved, if she continued to live, at least all the expenses would cost 12 yuan a month."

"The doctor advised me to give up and spend the rest of my time with my wife."

"When I heard the news, I almost collapsed, and today is my birthday. I made a lot of determination. After work, I ordered a luxurious takeaway for myself."

"I dare not go home. I am afraid of facing my family. I only dare to find an excuse for myself and hide here secretly, thinking of rewarding myself with a luxurious takeaway for my hard work over the past few days."

"After I finish eating the takeaway, I will muster up the courage and tell my wife, I will take you home, but I feel that I am really cruel, woo."

In the end, the man was like a baby in an instant, leaning against Gu Chen's chest and crying loudly.

It seemed that at this moment, the man completely let go of all his dignity, and wanted to find someone to talk to.

Gu Chen still patted the man on the back, comfortingly said: "Just now you called your lover, and I heard it too, your lover is really a very nice person."

"When she learned that she could not be cured and might face death, but she didn't fluctuate too much. Instead, she agreed without a trace of complaint. I..."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen choked up and said, "I really admire her, she must love you very much, right?"

"En." The man nodded in trembling voice, and fell into extreme sadness.

He turned his head to look at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and said helplessly, "She is my colleague after graduation. We entered a company for an internship together, and we are good partners."

"We are in sync with almost everything and believe in a bright future for each other."

Sniffing, the middle-aged man choked up and said, "Neither of us has a good family background, and both come from rural areas."

"Therefore, we will understand each other's difficulties, that is, because of the tacit understanding at work, we gradually walked together and became a couple."

"Just when I have nothing, she is willing to be with me."

"Then you are too lucky?" Hearing the middle-aged man tell about the scene where he and his wife met, Lu Weiwei also looked at him longingly, and couldn't help saying enviously:
"How lucky is it to have such a soul mate?"

"Yes, I'm lucky." The middle-aged man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if the extreme sadness just now had eased, and continued:
"At the beginning, we met each other and fell in love. When it was time to talk about marriage, she once asked me, if her father asked for a bride price of 20 yuan, would I still marry him?"

"Then what did you say?" Gu Chen was also curious.

The man sighed, and said honestly: "To be honest, when I heard this number, I was also stunned."

"You have to know that at that time, I had just graduated, and the wages I earned in the past few years had to pay off some debts from my family."

"The conditions at that time, let alone 20 betrothal gifts, even [-] betrothal gifts were a bit difficult."

"At that time, I was a real poor man, but I answered her without any hesitation."

"I said, let's save it slowly. Anyway, in this life, I will recognize you."

Talking about the sad part, the man choked up a few more times, sobbing and saying:

"But my lover, after hearing what I said, flicked my forehead with his finger."

"She smiled and told me, idiot, you don't need a bride price to marry me, and I am the only one with my household registration, so I have the final say."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were stunned on the spot, and they also looked at each other in blank dismay.

It's hard to imagine that the love story of this middle-aged man could be so exciting.

The reason why Gu Chen finds it exciting is because both of them have the same expectation of happiness.

Hearing this, Gu Chen also said enviously: "Then you can be considered a happy person, with such a good wife and children."

"Yes." The man looked at Gu Chen, choked up and said:
"I originally thought that a person like me could also have such a happy family. I am very satisfied, I am really satisfied."

"So, after we got married, we didn't have children right away. Both of us worked hard, and our lives gradually moved in a better direction."

"We quickly saved a down payment, bought a house and a car, and brought the elderly in the family to live together."

"The family is happy and harmonious. We even have our own children. Really, it was then that I realized that I am the happiest man in the world."

Sniffing, the man seemed to be unable to hide his sadness. He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his right hand, and said again:

"But I never would have thought that one day, when I was at work, I would suddenly receive a call from my lover."

"But when I thought it was my wife who was looking for me, I found out that it was another stranger who called."

"The man told me that my wife fainted on the road, and kind people sent her to the hospital together, and told me the address of the hospital."

After a pause, the man also put his right hand on Gu Chen's shoulder, looked at Gu Chen with a sad face, and confided:
"When I came to the hospital, I thought it was caused by my wife's overwork. I kept blaming myself for being useless and unable to take good care of her."

"But the doctor's diagnosis suddenly gave me a bolt from the blue."

"It's cancer, right?" Gu Chen said.

The middle-aged man nodded silently: "When it was found out, it was already in the late stage. I really deserve to be damned, why didn't I let my wife go for a physical examination earlier."

"She had been unwell before, but I didn't pay attention to it after all, which led to her current result. I really deserve to be damned."

In the end, the man burst into tears again, confiding his various unwillingness to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei:
"Why is fate so unfair to me? I just want a good family, even if the family is poor, it doesn't matter."

"I just want my wife to live a good life. For her, I can do anything. Really, I can change my life for another."

After sobbing a few times, the man also said loudly: "My wife has been an orphan since she was a child, she has neither father nor mother love."

"When she grows up, I will be her only support, and I will be her everything."

"But now, even she has to leave me. I'm really useless. Why can't I save her?"

Gu Chen patted the man's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Your decision is not wrong. If it is beyond treatment, then don't worry about it."

"Spend the remaining days with your wife and let her leave happily."

"I know." Hearing Gu Chen's words, the man also sniffed and explained with a choked voice:

"In order to treat my wife's illness, our family has actually owed a lot of foreign debts. Now I am struggling to even eat every day."

"Do you know? In order to give myself a luxurious birthday, I have been saving money for several days."

"I just thought, I'm miserable enough, I have to have a good meal on my birthday, I'm enough."

"The pressure of these days has made me unable to breathe. I want to work hard to live."

"But what did God do to me? It's hard enough for me, but why would someone steal my takeaway?"

"Why? What the hell is this for?"

The man said a few reasons in one breath, and seemed to have reached the verge of emotional breakdown.

Gu Chen was a little worried about the man's next move, so he quickly comforted him and said, "How much money do you have now?"

"I've run out of money." The man shook his head: "In order to treat my wife's illness, I have already borrowed all the money that should be borrowed, and I can't even replace the mortgage, which is already overdue."

"I have also found a buyer for the car and am going to sell it for some money."

"But even so, in the hospital, the daily treatment fee is a bottomless pit."

Glancing at Gu Chen, the middle-aged man opened his wallet on his mobile phone and said in front of Gu Chen: "Now, with all my belongings added up, I have less than 80 yuan left."

Gu Chen casually glanced at the number, and found that the change was 79. He couldn't help but sighed and said, "How about this, I'll lend you a sum of money first, and you can use it for emergency use."

"In addition, we must remember that no matter when, don't give up the hope of living."

"After all, there are old people and children in your family, and you are their pillar."

"I understand, but the money..."

Before the man finished speaking, Gu Chen took his mobile phone and started transferring money to him.

In less than a while, the balance of the man's mobile phone quickly became 3079 yuan.

"So much?" The man was also stunned, originally thinking that if he told this kind-hearted person about his pain, the kind-hearted person would transfer a few hundred yuan to him.

Unexpectedly, this handsome young man would transfer 3000 yuan to himself at once.

The man was a little flattered, and he was also surprised and said: "Young man, are you not afraid that I am a liar? You transferred so much money to me at one time? This... This is not appropriate."

"Don't worry." Seeing that the man also had a worried face, Gu Chen smiled diligently in order to dispel his worries:
"Whether you are a liar or not, I can tell at a glance, brother, you are just unlucky, but you are not a liar."

"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei interjected:
"Are you a liar? In fact, we can tell at a glance. Don't worry, we can trust you. Besides, we only lent you the money for emergency use, and we didn't say we wouldn't let you pay it back."

After hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, the man felt relieved and said slowly:

"Okay, I borrowed the money from you, young man, please leave me your contact information, and your unit or something. When I have a chance to recover, I will definitely come to thank you."

"Okay." Seeing that if I don't leave him a contact information, this man seems not to accept the money.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen agreed and left his cell phone number to the man.

After completing the records, the man raised his head and asked, "Excuse me, what is your last name?"

"Miangui's surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Chen." Gu Chen said.

"Gu Chen?" After hearing this name, the middle-aged man also nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "Benefactor, I remember you."
