"Really? Little brother, are you telling the truth?"
The one who made this exclamation was naturally Cao Jiajia.
And the reason why she exclaimed was because of what Cao Zhiqiang just said at the dinner table.
What did you say?
It's very simple. Cao Zhiqiang personally proposed that he would take his sister and brother-in-law to Peking and seek medical treatment in a hospital in Peiping.
Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang also said that he paid all his brother-in-law's medical expenses without them having to pay.
"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.
"Sister, we are biological siblings, from the same mother and father. Blood is thicker than water, and the connection between bones and tendons is broken.
Now that my mother is gone, you are the only blood relative I have left in this world. If I don’t help you, who will?
Of course, it would be fine if my abilities were limited, but now I can be considered a bit successful in my career and make some money from writing books.
Although it’s not much, it’s not a problem to take you to the capital and pay for your brother-in-law’s medical expenses. "
After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "This is a small place after all. It's not that it's not good here, but the medical conditions here cannot be compared with those in the capital.
Just like my brother-in-law's disease, as far as I know, in big hospitals in Beijing, it is not a problem at all and can be cured with an operation.
But here, there is no way to do this kind of surgery. Even if you go to the provincial capital hospital here, the risk of doing this kind of surgery is very high nowadays.
So, it's better to follow me to Beijing as soon as possible. Let's go to the big hospital in Beijing and do the surgery as soon as possible. "
"Great!" Cao Jiajia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned to the silent Xia Siming and said, "Old Xia, your disease can be cured, and you will never have to suffer like this again."
Xia Siming frowned, and then said: "But going to the capital for surgery must be very expensive. We, we can't afford so much money."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Didn't I say that I'll cover the round trip expenses, food and accommodation, and medical expenses."
"How can this be possible?" Xia Siming shook his head and said, "Zhiqiang, it's not easy for you to be alone. Even if you make money by writing books now, as you said, it is still your hard-earned money. You will have to keep it in the future. We can't take advantage of you if you want to marry a wife."
"Old Xia!" Cao Jiajia frowned, "Why are you still so stubborn? He is my younger brother, my biological brother. It's a great thing that he is willing to help us now. Why are you like this?"
Xia Siming sighed, turned to look at Cao Zhiqiang and said: "Zhiqiang, I accept your intention, but I can't accept this because I deserve it.
To be honest, I was the one who wanted to come here in the first place. Your sister was opposed to it, but she couldn't get over it and finally came with me.
Who would have known that after arriving, it would be nothing like what we had promised.
I was willing to come because they said that after coming here, I would receive a three-level salary increase within five years. As a result, my salary has remained the same until now.
When I came here, I was already a Level 4 fitter. Who knew that after coming here for so long, I am still a Level 4 fitter. It has never changed. No matter how good my skills are, I will not be qualified to take the exam.
Not only that, during this period, I was always sick, and the medical expenses alone accounted for most of it every year.
Because of my illness, your sister only went back once in the third year after coming here, and she never went back again.
why? Because there is no money! "
Speaking of this, Xia Siming's eyes became a little wet: "In this hellish place, I get sick almost every year, stay in the hospital several times, spend a lot of money, and the unit does not reimburse me, so more than half of the money we earn It's all invested in me.
Your sister has always been with me, accompanying me, and taking care of me without any regrets, but I, I..."
Speaking of this, Xia Siming swallowed even more: "Actually, I have thought about it a long time ago. It was me who dragged your sister down. If your sister is willing to divorce me..."
"Xia Siming!" Cao Jiajia suddenly interrupted Xia Siming loudly, "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xia Siming smiled bitterly: "Jiajia, I know you are good, but if you continue to follow me, it will only continue to drag you down. It is better for us to divorce, and then you and your brother, and of course the two children, go to the capital together. , go there and live a good life.
As for me...forget it, let fate take its course. "
"Lao Xia, why are you saying this?" Cao Jiajia said with jealousy, "Didn't I say it before? Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. Since I identified you at the beginning, I will never change in this life. .
So, don’t mention the divorce anymore, I won’t agree to it, so give up! "
Xia Siming sighed: "Jiajia, why are you still so stubborn? There was nothing you could do before, but now that your brother is here, he seems to be doing well.
As long as I am here, if you don't divorce me, if you want to go back, it will be impossible.
But if you divorce me, it won't be difficult if you want to return to the capital because of your brother's relationship.
When the time comes, if you take the two children back to the capital, isn't this better than staying in this poor place and suffering with me?
You know my situation. My employer will never let me go, even if I am so sick.
why? Because once I leave, it will have a chain reaction and other people will want to leave.
As long as you and I are still husband and wife, you can't leave.
If you and I can't leave, the child can't leave, so we can only stay in this place.
But if we get divorced, you will no longer be registered in my household registration, and you can take your children and go back to Peking with your brother.
Then, if you don’t have your registered residence with me, it will be much easier to find a way to settle in the capital. I..."
"No!" Cao Jiajia said fiercely, "I don't agree, not even to the death. I will not divorce you, nor will I leave you. You should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Xia Siming frowned: "Jiajia, why are you still so stubborn? What a great opportunity now, why are you..."
"stop!"
Cao Zhiqiang suddenly waved his hand violently, interrupting the quarrel between his sister and his brother-in-law, or in other words, the separation of life and death.
"Are you two playing life-or-death love here? Do you want to be so sensational?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a speechless expression.
"It's strange, my coming here this time is obviously a good thing for you, why do you do this?
Why are you sacrificing for me and me dedicating to you, why are you two getting into trouble?
Seeing that I am single, you deliberately show off your affection in front of me?
Do you two want to show up like this?
Have you ever thought about how I feel as a single person? "
"Ah?"
"Stop talking!" Cao Zhiqiang interrupted Xia Siming, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you clearly, my relationship with you is average, no better than a stranger. If it weren't for my sister, who would I know you are?
But, my sister likes you and can’t let you go and insists on living with you. Then I want to make my sister better, so what can I do? I can only cure your disease first!
Also, do you think that if I treat you, it’s free?
Of course not, I have conditions! "
"Conditions?" Xia Siming was stunned, "What conditions?"
Cao Zhiqiang said: "Give up everything here and go back to the capital with my sister and, of course, you two children.
Then, you listen to me in everything and come over and help me! "
"Ah?" Xia Siming was stunned again, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't I make it clear enough?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "I mean, you, my sister, and my two nephews are going back to the capital together!
Then, after you recover from your illness, come and work with me. Be my subordinate and work for me. This way you can pay off your debt. Do you understand? "
"Working for you? What do you want to do?" Xia Siming asked again.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled lightly: "I have a lot to do, for example, open a small restaurant first.
Anyway, I still lack reliable manpower, so I thought of you and my sister.
Of course, the restaurant is not open yet, but it will be a matter of time. I have bought a house and the decoration is in progress.
After returning this time, it won't take long for the restaurant to open.
Then, you and your sister will come to my restaurant to help me. I will pay you both a salary and you will help me look after the store. Isn't this great? "
"This..." Xia Siming frowned and looked at Cao Jiajia.
"Little brother!" Cao Jiajia asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, took out a bankbook from his arms, and threw it to Cao Jiajia: "Sister, take a look, this is my bankbook, look at the numbers on it."
Cao Jiajia was stunned, picked up her bankbook and looked at it, but she quickly took a breath: "Four, four hundred thousand?"
"It's not just that." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I also proposed 100,000 yuan before. There is a record on it. Take a look."
Cao Jiajia took another look, and sure enough, there was a withdrawal record of one hundred thousand yuan before, and before that, there were several deposit and withdrawal records, and the amounts were quite astonishing.
"Lao Xia, take a look." Cao Jiajia quickly showed the bankbook to Xia Siming.
After Xia Siming read the passbook, he frowned and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "This, Zhiqiang, you, this..."
"Stop talking." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "Brother-in-law, sister, now with the reform and opening up, everything is changing, especially outside, it is changing much faster.
Today's era is not the same as before. Nowadays, everything depends on money.
As long as you have money, nothing is a problem.
You see, I’m making so much money now, and it’s only going to be more in the future.
Even if my brother-in-law doesn't want to do it in my restaurant and feels embarrassed, that's fine.
In fact, I also plan to open a publishing house or magazine.
I can’t guarantee a publishing house, but there’s no problem opening a magazine.
I have already found relevant partners. It is simple and easy for me to open a magazine.
Once I open a magazine, a talented person like my brother-in-law can come over and help me.
And sister, aren’t you a nurse?
If my sister doesn't want to give up her career as a nurse and insists on continuing to be a nurse, I can arrange that.
I have some connections in Beijing. If you are not willing to help me and insist on finding an employer, I can find a way to transfer you to a hospital in Beijing as a nurse. "
After a pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Sister, brother-in-law, to be honest, I came here not just to receive a letter from my sister, but to help my brother-in-law treat his illness. I plan to pick you up so that you can help me. of.
In the future, I want to show off my talents, but there are too few trustworthy people around me.
It is said that father and son are soldiers in battle, and brothers fight. One of you is my sister, and the other is my brother-in-law. We are all one family.
It’s okay if I don’t do well, but if I can do well, I definitely can’t forget you.
Furthermore, when my mother left, she was always worried about her sister and kept talking about her.
I couldn't help it before, but now I have the ability. Of course I will fulfill my mother's wish and bring my sister back.
But I also know that my sister is determined to be with you, so I'm afraid it won't work if I just take my sister back.
So, brother-in-law, if you really have some conscience and are really doing it for the good of my sister and the children, then put away your shabby self-esteem and take my sister, and of course my two nephews, with me!
If you insist on being pretentious with me and talk about getting divorced and not leaving, then it will make me look down on you.
Because that only shows that you are a selfish person who only cares about yourself, understand? "
