The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Xie Meilan stood directly on the street and questioned Wang Gang, with an expression as if Wang Gang was an unforgivable husband.

In fact, based on Shen Lei's memory, Wang Gang discovered that the couple had been together for more than ten years, and it was Shen Lei who had always been indulging Xie Meilan.

Shen Lei is a weak person. He has never had his own opinions since he was a child. He listened to his parents when he was young, and listened to his sister and wife when he grew up. Therefore, he always feels weak when facing Xie Meilan.

Especially after Xie Meilan's mother fell ill, her mood changed drastically. In order to save her mother's life, she became a little crazy. As long as the topic of her mother was involved, she would have an emotional breakdown.

Shen Lei has always taken care of Xie Meilan's emotions. Not only does he spend money and effort on his mother-in-law, but he also has to take care of Xie Meilan's emotions on a daily basis. In fact, his life is quite tiring.

After all, Wang Gang is not Shen Lei.

"Xie Meilan, when did I say I wouldn't save your mother? I took out all our family savings, cooked for your mother every day, and even made sure she was well fed even if I didn't eat myself. Your son-in-law has done so much for you, what else are you not satisfied with?" Wang Gang asked Xie Meilan.

"I'm talking about my mother now, don't talk to me about those useless things." Xie Meilan said unreasonably.

Wang Gang said with a straight face: "Okay, I'll talk to you about your mother now. She is in the hospital and is feeling very uncomfortable. She keeps asking where you are all day long."

Xie Meilan said excitedly: "I have to work! If I don't work, how can I pay for medical expenses? In the end, you are useless. You have worked for so many years but have never been promoted, and you only get that little salary every month."

Wang Gang frowned and said unhappily: "Xie Meilan, do you understand that what your mother needs now is not treatment, but the company of her family. She came to the capital not to see a doctor, but to see her daughter."

Xie Meilan said stubbornly: "As long as my mother's illness is cured, we will have plenty of time to meet in the future."

Wang Gang shook his head, feeling that Xie Meilan was becoming more and more extreme.

"Let's go to the hospital now and talk to your mother." Wang Gang advised.

"I still have work to deal with. After I'm done with these few days, I'll go to the hospital to see her."

"Why don't you understand?" Wang Gang said speechlessly: "Work, work, is work more important than your only family?"

"How can I get money if I don't work? Do I rely on you?" Xie Meilan said disdainfully: "The company has taken good care of me. If I lose my job because of taking care of my mother, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Don't worry about the money. I will find a way to solve it. You can spend more time with your mother." Wang Gang persuaded.

"With your limited ability, where can you get money?" Xie Meilan's tone was full of disdain.

Wang Gang knew that it was impossible to reason with Xie Meilan now, so he could only comfort her and send her home.

After returning home, Xie Meilan dealt with the work at hand, while Wang Gang took the meals packed by Shen Lin's family to the hospital.

When Wang Gang arrived at the hospital, Xie's mother had not yet slept. The chemotherapy during this period made her extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to sleep but couldn't. Most of her hair had fallen out and she felt very weak.

Seeing Wang Gang coming, Xie's mother glanced at the door and found that her daughter was not there, and was a little disappointed.

"Mom, Meilan is busy with work and doesn't have time to come over." Wang Gang put down the lunch box and said, "This is the dish my sister made. You can heat it up and eat it tomorrow."

Xie's mother sighed, "Shen Lei, don't come to the hospital to deliver meals anymore. I'll just eat the hospital's meals. When you have time, take care of Meilan. She's been worrying about my illness, and she must have missed work!"

Wang Gang sat next to Xie's mother and said, "Mom, the food in the hospital is not delicious. Don't worry about us. Meilan will come to see you after she finishes her work."

Xie's mother sighed, "I know my disease well. It's incurable. I don't want to stay in the hospital and waste money. Please tell Meilan that I want to be discharged and go back home."

Wang Gang frowned and said, "I mentioned the matter of discharge to Meilan, but she disagreed. I will talk to her later."

As they talked, Wang Gang held Xie's mother's wrist and secretly felt her pulse. Xie's mother's condition was very serious, and the lung cancer cells had begun to metastasize. She didn't have much time left.

The current treatment methods of the hospital can only alleviate Xie's mother's pain but cannot cure her disease. Each chemotherapy session is still consuming her already limited vitality.

Wang Gang had no good solution either. Although he was a skilled doctor, he was helpless against this fatal disease. If he could have awakened his memory half a year earlier, he might have had some hope, but it was too late now.

"Shen Lei! I know you have been taking care of Meilan all along. I know my daughter has always been impatient since she was young. It is her blessing to marry you." Mother Xie held Wang Gang's hand and said:
"If I'm not around in the future, Meilan will trouble you."

Wang Gang sighed in his heart and said, "Mom, Meilan is my wife. Husbands and wives should support each other. There is no question of who takes care of whom."

After chatting with Xie's mother for a while, perhaps because she was tired, Xie's mother slowly fell asleep. Wang Gang found a nurse to take care of Xie's mother and returned home.

When he got home, Xie Meilan had not finished her work yet and was still busy.

Wang Gang did not disturb Xie Meilan, but quietly turned on his computer and thought about making money.

Poor couples have many worries. The conflict between Shen Lei and Xie Meilan is ultimately because of money, which is also the worry of most ordinary people.

In fact, Shen Lei and his wife have a good income. Shen Lei works in the archives and is a civil servant. He earns 8,000 yuan a month. Although it may not seem like much, he has a lot of hidden benefits.

First of all, the archives has a cafeteria, so Shen Lei doesn’t have to pay for three meals a day.

Secondly, in addition to salary, civil servants also receive many bonuses and benefits, including a lot of daily necessities during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, and a year-end bonus at the end of the year. In general, it is no problem for civil servants to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.

Xie Meilan works in a large investment company with a monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan. The couple's combined income is about 300,000 to 400,000 yuan a year. They can't be considered poor in any way.

However, they lived in the capital, with high income and high expenses, and plus the medical treatment for Xie's mother, they spent all their savings of hundreds of thousands.

There are three huge mountains weighing on the heads of ordinary people: real estate, education and medical care. It is no exaggeration to say that if you have to pay for one of them, it will be like a bottomless pit.

Wang Gang calculated the family savings and found that there was less than 100,000 yuan left. The house they lived in now was still rented and they had to pay the rent next month.

In general, although life is difficult, it is not to the point of despair.

Wang Gang is not short of money. He can solve the problem by just taking out some of the gold and jewelry stored in his space.

But the biggest problem now is how to explain the source of the money.

Wang Gang is now a civil servant. If a large amount of cash of unknown origin appears, he is likely to be in big trouble.

Although he looked down on the job in the archives, his parents and sister cared about it.

In fact, Shen Lei had always been the pride of his family. In the village, Shen's father and mother had always been the envy of others because their son was a civil servant and their daughter and son-in-law had a car and a house in Beijing, and they also enjoyed this envy.

If Wang Gang dared to quit his job as a civil servant, his parents might faint from anger.

"It's a bit troublesome to achieve financial freedom by stock trading." Wang Gang stroked his chin and muttered to himself:
"Looks like I need to find a side job suitable for a civil servant?"

Wang Gang suddenly thought of a person who was also a civil servant, but because he wrote a book, he achieved financial freedom and earned tens of millions of yuan in royalties every year.

Wang Gang did what he thought and searched for information about the Ming Dynasty on his computer.

He wants to write a historical book that is not too serious. (End of this chapter)
