Unparalleled Treasures

"Yes, this is Liu Xiaoqin's home!"

Several women answered, and one of them pointed to the narrow stairs to the second floor and said: "We are renting her house, and their family lives in the front row on the second floor, and the back row and the first floor are rented out." , we live behind the second floor."

"Oh, thank you!" Zhang Can thanked very politely, and then prepared to go upstairs.

"Wait a minute!" The woman stopped him suddenly, and asked again suspiciously: "What are you doing at their house? I don't think I've ever seen you before!"

Zhang Can thought for a while, looked at his big and small bags, and simply smiled: "I'm Liu Xiaoqin's boyfriend, and it's my first time here!"

The women were startled, and the woman who answered immediately stared at Zhang Can strangely, but did not speak.

Zhang Can had no free hands, and thought his face was dirty, but he had no free hands and no mirror to look at, so he nodded quickly, and then hurried upstairs.

The corridor was very narrow and the walls were very old. When he went upstairs, Zhang Can went straight to the front row. The door was open, and the room seemed to be dark with the curtains drawn.

Zhang Can stopped at the door, bent over the gift bags with both hands and put them on the door, then reached out and knocked lightly on the door.

A weak female voice came from inside the door and asked, "Who is it?"

The voice was a bit old, probably more than 40 if not fifty, Zhang Can replied at the door: "My surname is Zhang, and I am Xiaoqin's... friend!"

Zhang Can hesitated for a while, but still didn't say that he was Liu Xiaoqin's boyfriend. Although he said that he would visit the household or get married in a short time, at least he still didn't have that relationship right now, so he endured it a bit.

"...Really? Please come in, please come in, my room is a bit messy, I'm sorry..."

The women in the room immediately greeted them warmly, reached out and turned on the light again, Zhang Can could see clearly that this was a small living room, and there were two small rooms in front of the living room, probably two bedrooms, and the one in the living room was relatively small. The old sofas and furniture are very old, but very clean.

The woman was thin and thin, with a pale complexion, and looked a little malnourished. She was in her fifties, and her face had a faint old charm, which was somewhat similar to Liu Xiaoqin.

Zhang Can probably was Liu Xiaoqin's mother, Zhang Can smiled and said "Hello, Auntie!" Then he went to the door and brought the gift in and put it on the edge of the sofa.

The woman was not blind. Seeing that these gifts were worth at least a few thousand yuan, she couldn't help but change her face. She was stunned for a while before she said: "Please sit down, please sit down, you...you are...?"

"Auntie, are you Xiaoqin's mother?" Zhang Can asked first. Although they look alike, it doesn't mean they are absolute.

The woman nodded, stared at Zhang Can and asked with some doubts: "I am, are you Xiaoqin's friend?"

Zhang Can also nodded, sat down, and then said clearly: "Auntie, I am the person introduced to Xiaoqin by the second aunt Xiaoqin. My surname is Zhang and my name is Zhang Can. Xiaoqin said today that he will come to our house the day after tomorrow. Looking at the households, I said I wanted to get married this month, I just came to the county to do some errands, and I still have time after I finished, so I wanted to visit my aunt's house."

The woman suddenly realized, and quickly greeted her while pouring tea, "Oh, I know, I know, it's the person introduced by Xiaoqin's second aunt. Xiaoqin told me when she came back. Just ask for leave by the way, this...I...I'll call her back!"

"No, no, auntie, stop calling Xiaoqin!"

Zhang Can hastily waved his hand to stop, "Auntie, don't call Xiaoqin back, I'm going back soon, I just stopped by to take a look, there's no other purpose, she's at work, so it's definitely not good to call her back!"

"Oh..." Liu Xiaoqin's mother let go of the movement of dialing the phone, and stared at Zhang Can carefully.

The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law more seriously than her daughter did, making Zhang Can blush with embarrassment.

"I heard from my second aunt... Xiao Zhang earns a good income outside?"

Liu Xiaoqin's mother brought Zhang Can a cup of tea, and then asked in a low voice.

Zhang Can didn't know whether to be high-key or low-key, and he didn't have time to think about it under her stare, so he nodded and replied: "Well, it's not bad."

Mother Liu opened her mouth, and wanted to ask something, but she seemed to find it difficult to speak, she hesitated for a while, hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Zhang, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Zhang Can's heart tightened, and he always felt a little heavy, but he couldn't guess what it was, so he just nodded and said, "Auntie, please say it!"

Mother Liu sighed, and it took a long time before she spoke: "I have two daughters. The elder daughter didn't live up to it and went to work in other provinces. The younger daughter was smart and obedient since she was a child. After graduating from the medical school, she was assigned to the county people As a nurse in the hospital, Xiao Zhang has also seen it, and I am not bragging about my daughter. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is one in a million, but it is impossible to hide from natural disasters. He suddenly fell down and was diagnosed with uremia in the hospital, and it was quite serious. The county hospital did not dare to treat it. They said that the operation would need to be treated by the provincial hospital. We spent money to go to the provincial hospital for examination first. The conclusion is that if you have an operation, there is a half chance of being cured, and the operation fee is 40 yuan, plus other expenses, if it is less than 50 yuan, it will not save Xiaoqin's father's life!"

As Liu's mother spoke, tears flowed down her face.

Zhang Can suddenly understood why Liu Xiaoqin was in a hurry to see the family, to get married, and to choose a partner with a high income. She... was just a condition she needed to save her father!

There is no such thing as love at first sight in this world, and I am far from being able to attract Liu Xiaoqin's charm. All she needs is my own money!

Seeing Zhang Can's face darkened, Mother Liu said again: "Xiao Zhang, I know what Xiaoqin means, but she dare not tell you clearly, for fear that you will not agree, she thinks that if she gets married, as long as she treats her wholeheartedly Hello, you have that ability, you should be able to save Xiaoqin's father, in fact... Actually, I don't agree with my daughter to do that, and our Liu family is not like that. To be honest, if my daughter gets married, in such a situation Under the circumstances, that must be borne by the son-in-law, but I don't want to lie, I think I should tell you clearly, if you really like Xiaoqin and are willing to afford the medical expenses for treating Xiaoqin's father, then get married... ...We really can't help it. In the past two years... In the past two years, we have emptied our house, sold everything that could be sold, and borrowed everything that could be borrowed. But in this world, the richer the better Borrowing money, the poorer the money, the less able to borrow money, people are afraid that we will not be able to pay back..."

Liu's mother's words made Zhang Can feel better, but it was still hard to accept Liu Xiaoqin's actions. Although Liu Xiaoqin wanted to save her father, it is understandable for a child to fulfill this responsibility, which also shows that Liu Xiaoqin is really a good girl , but she didn't make it clear to herself that she was lying to him, which Zhang Can couldn't accept no matter what!

People, that's it, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, no matter what she does, whether it is good or bad, it will not affect you, but if the person you like hurts you, it will be an unbearable pain no matter what!

After staying for a while, Zhang Can said silently: "Auntie, then I don't understand. Xiaoqin is talented and handsome. It's not difficult to find a rich man? I'm afraid there are many in the county? Why don't you look for it in the county? Give me such a countryman?"

Mother Liu wiped her tears and replied, "Xiao Zhang, how many people are really good-hearted in this society? There are many rich people in this county, but parents are the masters of the house, young people How many of them are able to make the decision and get 50 yuan? Most of the ones who can get it are about 50 to [-] years old, and among these people, there is no one in ten who is not married..."

After a pause, Mother Liu said again: "Aunt Xiaoqin introduced it. Xiaoqin came back today and said that she is a good person, of the same age, and her character is not bad when she sees it in person. Of course, she didn't hide it. The income is also good..."

Zhang Can was speechless, Liu Xiaoqin, Liu Xiaoqin, you really broke my heart!

Turning his head and looking at the other side, there was a photo of the whole family on the desk. Mother Liu and Xiaoqin's father were sitting, and a girl stood behind each of them.

Zhang Can was stunned, then stood up and took a closer look. There were two girls, one was obviously Liu Xiaoqin, and the other looked a bit like Liu Xiaoqin, but Zhang Can remembered this appearance deeply, that was his classmate. Classmate and dream lover Liu Xiaoli!

Liu Xiaoqin, Liu Xiaoli...

Zhang Can suddenly realized that the two of them are real sisters. No wonder he always had a familiar feeling. He always felt that Liu Xiaoqin was a bit like a person. Only now did he understand!

Mother Liu introduced softly from behind: "That was taken three years ago. On the left is the eldest daughter Liu Xiaoli, who is now working in Jincheng, but she can't count on it at all. It's because of Xiaoqin, this child..."

Zhang Can was stunned for a while. It turned out that Liu Xiaoqin was the sister of Liu Xiaoli whom he had a crush on, and Liu Xiaoqin hurt himself because of this incident. Could it be that their sisters are the nemesis in his destiny?

"Little Zhang...Little Zhang...you...are you angry?"

Ms. Liu looked at Zhang Can with some worry, but also with some expectation. From her eyes, Zhang Can saw the love of a loving mother and a good wife, but it was the feeling of weakness that was incompetent despite all efforts!

There are always tears in the eyes!

Zhang Can thought for a while, and then said to Liu's mother: "Auntie, I have something to do, I'll come back later, I'm leaving first!"

Mother Liu was a little unconvinced: "You...Xiao Zhang, will you really come here?"

"It will definitely come, don't worry, it will be soon!" Zhang Can nodded and said, and then went out heavily, not daring to look back at her expectant and pitiful expression after going out.

Mother Liu is a good person, there is no doubt about it, at least she told the truth about the matter, although she really wanted Zhang Can to really help their family, but she was afraid and worried that it would harm her daughter's future happiness.

Zhang Can sat down by the sidewalk flower bed, thought for a while, finally sighed, walked into the bank, opened a new card, and transferred 50 to the card.

After leaving the bank, Zhang Can bought an envelope, paper and pen, wrote something on the paper, folded it, stuffed it into the envelope together with the bank card, and then went to Liu Xiaoqin's house again.
