"Although I really care about face, but the person lying in the hospital right now is my mom, the person who gave birth to me for so many years, the person who is closest to me in this world. If anyone can save her, if they can help me, I can kneel down and kowtow to him a few times. Do you believe me? "

Forced to the ground by her aura, Li Yugeng didn't know what to say.

"But no one, no one can help me with Li Yugeng. I have to get stronger. I can't watch my sister get dragged down by this family and give up my future. I can't watch my mother get weaker day by day. So I have to be strong, do you understand? "

Just as Li YuGeng was about to nod, Cao Xiaoling snickered. "Forget it. What am I saying to a kid like you who has a golden spoon in his mouth? How could you understand?"

"Today, I still have to thank you. Otherwise, walking back by myself would be quite tiring. "I need to pack my stuff now. I won't be polite with you when I go to the hospital later."

With that, she quickly entered the courtyard. Then, the wooden door opened and closed, covering the emaciated figure behind it.

Li YuGeng looked at her thoughtfully. It was unknown what he was thinking. It was just that the moonlight was so bright and shallow on his face. The iceberg was no longer there, but rather, it looked a bit more feminine.

As soon as he entered the room, Cao Xiaolan put down her basket, threw herself on the bed and began to cry.

She used all her strength to bite the corner of her blanket, trying her best to not let herself cry out.

However, what she didn't know was that in a room that hadn't even opened yet, this kind of suppressed voice softly spread out. In the silent night, this voice was exceptionally clear.

Especially the youth standing outside the gate.

After crying for a while, Cao Xiaoluo pulled herself together and wiped her face with a towel. She then tidied up the bedding, tied it up and prepared to leave.

When he opened the door, he was shocked.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Li Yugeng looked at her. Her eyes were still slightly red and swollen, and her nasal voice was also thick. With the voice from earlier, it was not hard to guess that she was crying.

He didn't know why, but he felt a bit irritated. He looked at her thin and weak shoulder, and then he saw her saluting with a blanket that was taller than him. It was even more eye-catching.

"I have to go back to town later to return someone else's car." Li YuGeng snatched her salutation and said, "Let's go. It won't be good for us to walk on the road when it gets dark."

Cao Xiaolan opened her mouth wanting to say that she didn't need him.

Honestly speaking, whether it was appearance, knowledge or family background, Li Yugeng was very attractive in the village. However, she just didn't like it and couldn't help but hate it.

It was as if the two of them had a grudge from their previous lives.

However, after seeing the salute on his back, Cao Xiaolian shut her mouth.

With such a big bag of items, it was already late. If he were to rely on his two legs, it would probably be the latter half of the night.

Li YuGeng threw his things in the trunk and closed the door skillfully. He walked to the front and was surprised to see that the passenger seat was empty.

His eyelids twitched, but he did not say anything. The car was empty, so it was other people's freedom to sit there. If one spoke too much, it would seem petty.

The drive was not smooth.

Li Yugeng's heart was always in his throat. Many times, he wanted to stop by the roadside and ask her to sit in the front. Otherwise, he would act as if he was her driver.

However, his good cultivation was still something he had to endure.

With a car, it would only take twenty minutes to get to the hospital.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Cao Xiaolian went down to retrieve her things from the trunk.

Li YuGeng followed.

"Let me do it. You're just a girl, you're quite heavy."

"Forget it." Cao Xiaoling forced a smile. She didn't want Li Yugeng to know about her mother's illness. If he went back and told her, who knows how they would arrange it. I really won't be able to return to the village from now on.

So she decided to take it herself.

"Let's go." Li YuGeng carried him up and said, "It's just a pulmonary cough. I can just stand farther away."

Cao Xiaoling was shocked. "How did you know?"

"He vomited blood and his face was pale. He was even clutching his lungs and crying out in pain. This is most likely the case." Li Ygeng didn't want her to know that Aunt Chen was the attending physician of Mother Cao, and he also didn't want her to know that he had paid for her medical expenses first.

He probably didn't like the look of this little girl, but when he saw that her eyes were red and felt wronged, he felt even more uncomfortable.

It was just like how this little girl could only be bullied by herself.

Li Yugeng could not help but shiver. But before he could think about it carefully, he heard Cao Xiaoling's sharp voice. "Why didn't you say so earlier that day?"

If I told you earlier …

Cao Xiaolian was sad to find out, even if she had said it earlier, there was nothing she could do to turn the situation around. The house had to be sold.

"I'm not sure. Besides, I'm not a doctor." Looking at her stiff expression, Li YuGeng could not help but comfort her, "You don't have to worry about the medical conditions."

Cao Xiaoling smiled wryly. How could she know that she was worried about money?

The house was not something that could be sold off in a short period of time. All the houses in the village were already built, so it would be strange if they could sell the houses in their own homes, which were even more dilapidated than others.

The two of them did not speak until they entered the hospital.

However, because pulmonary cough belongs to the infectious department, this department can't have more than one person as a bedmate, and can't allow other people to visit.

The nurse called Cao Xiaoxia from the inside, and she decided to let Xiao Xia go home with her.

At first, Cao Xiaoxia's eyes were red, but when she saw the person beside her sister, she was shocked.

"Big … Big Brother Li." She stuttered as if she had seen a ghost, "Why are you two together?"

Cao Xiaolian quickly said, "It was Brother Li who kindly sent me away. He just happened to have borrowed someone's help and went back to town. He saw that I had a lot of luggage, so he sent me on my way."

Saying so, he didn't look at his sister's inquiring gaze anymore and directly told her to go back.

Cao Xiaoxia was also stubborn, "Sis, I want to stay with mother. Why don't you go back? I still have four days before I leave. These four days, I'll be accompanying Mom. You can go back and do your embroidery work. "

"Don't speak nonsense. Go back, sister will stay." Cao Xiaoling patted her sister's shoulder. "I won't have so much free time when I go to the military. I'll be able to sleep in peace during the next few days."

The two sisters fought each other, neither of them willing to leave.

"If you want me to say it, then listen to your sister."

Li YuGeng suddenly said, "If she goes to join the army, she will be gone for several years. She might not even see her family. If she can spend more time with them, then you can spend more time with your mother."

Cao Xiaoxia laughed, "Brother Li understands. "Sis, just listen to me."

Cao Xiaoliu looked at Li Yugeng angrily. She felt sorry for her sister, but why did this man who had nothing to do with her always like to talk to her?

Cao Xiaoxia understood why she wanted to stay with Cao Ma. She could only remind them, "I'll come over to see you guys tomorrow. You take this."

She took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her pocket and slowly opened it under the gaze of the other two.

There were two gray hundred-dollar bills, and one ten, three five, two, a few, and a few coins.

"Take this, the things in the town aren't cheap, you have money in your pocket, and you're confident."

This was the last of the five hundred dollars Tao Qing had given her. She had left ten dollars for herself and gave the rest to her sister.

Far water could not save her near thirst, but for Tao Qing's side, she must be thinking of a way.

"Sis, isn't this the money you earned from embroidery?" Li YuGeng did not know the whole story, but Cao Xiaoxia was aware of it. She said with her eyes wide open, "You haven't even paid for the job yet, and you've already spent it all. What do you do if something goes wrong?"

She understood, too, but she couldn't get that far.

"Dawn, take it first. I have a plan."

No matter what, his life was more important.

After all, Cao Xiaoxia had finally accepted the money. However, she was under contract with her sister for the past two days, and she was not allowed to come here. She had to take advantage of her presence and give her job to the other party so that nothing could happen to her.

Cao Xiaoxia knew how much her sister valued this opportunity. When she returned home that day, her eyes were filled with excitement.

Therefore, she wanted to take good care of her mother these few days. Firstly, she wanted to accompany her mother. Secondly, she wanted to buy some time for her sister to do her own things.

Once she left, all the burdens would fall on her elder sister.

At the thought of this, Cao Xiaoxia wanted to cry again.

Of course she would want to have sisters who shared the same thoughts as each other.

"Rest assured, Xia Xia. I can finish it very soon." She hugged her little sister's frail body. "I'll have to trouble you to look after my mother for the next two days. I'll come over after I've settled my family matters." The day you left, my sister was going to take you to the station. Sister has to see if my sister is beautiful in uniform. "

He watched Cao Xiaoxia enter with a smile on her face. However, when she disappeared from his sight, Cao Xiaolian's smile also disappeared instantly.

Right now, she didn't have any leads at all!

However, there were too many things to do right now, so he decided to do them one by one.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard footsteps behind her. Then, Li Yugeng stood beside her.

"Are you going back now?"

Cao Xiaolian nodded weakly.

"It's already past seven."

"We still have to go back. Otherwise, are we going to sleep on the streets?"

Li YuGeng wanted to say that he was going to send her back to the village, but he felt that he was only coming to the hospital because he was going to the provincial capital, so what reason was there to send her back?

Even he himself was stunned by her question.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was already empty in front of him. There was no trace of Cao Xiaoling in sight.

Li YuGeng subconsciously wanted to give chase, but after running two steps, he stood on the spot in a daze.

Why did he care so much about her feelings?

He didn't understand.

He had never fallen in love before, but that did not mean that he did not like girls. The girls he wanted should be as gentle as water, as calm as a flower, with good cultivation and outstanding character.

Anyway, it was definitely not like Cao Xiaoling.

Her character could be seen from Wang Ziwen's words. At the very least, this girl's mental skills were a bit improper. His temper was also very big, and he always liked to make things difficult for others. Reading? It was probably only at the level of a junior high school. They didn't even have a common language together.

As such, he didn't want to follow Sensory Perception and chased after him. He wanted to be alone and in peace.

Sitting in the car, the surroundings were quiet. Cao Xiaoling's moaning voice kept echoing in his head.

On a summer evening, the insects began to chirp, making him feel rather upset.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

He now knew why he was helping Cao Xiaolian.

She was very much like her mother.

Wasn't Mother the same?

Even though she was born in a military family, her family has existed for many generations, and she was the only daughter, so she was very arrogant. He was too used to it.

In the end, he had harmed his father.

After the marriage, her eldest daughter's temper began to rise. She wouldn't allow her husband to look at any other woman, or else she would cause a ruckus on any occasion. As long as her husband was busy with his work, he would immediately catch up with her. In her world, love was the most important thing.

Finally, under another threat, her husband didn't take her seriously and thought she was being stubborn.

When he returned, he saw her body.

The body was already cold. It was hard to tell if she had accidentally made a mistake while pretending to commit suicide, or if she was truly disappointed in her husband and pessimistic about the world without love. Anyway, she had just died.

Cao Xiaolian was just like her mother.
