"What's there to worry about?" Looking at her sister's face, Cao Xiaoxia understood immediately, "Sis, I'm staying with you because Mom is not stable right now. Besides, the hospital doesn't have any methods to treat her. Since it's the best hospital in the capital, then it's better to be able to treat your mother properly than to just stand here and defend your home. "

"Dawn is right."

Mother Cao's voice suddenly sounded.

"Mom." The two sisters stood up at the same time and walked to the bedside. "Wake up."

"I woke up a long time ago, but I'm too lazy to keep my eyes open." Mother Cao's illness seemed to have aged quite a bit. "Mom is learning from you. She should be lazy."

Mother Cao looked at her eldest daughter, who had a trace of worry between her eyebrows. Then she looked at her innocent youngest daughter, sighing in her heart.

Xiao Lian, this child, was good at everything except for her sometimes overthinking. For those who didn't report the news, they would shoulder all the burdens and never tell anyone else about it.

"Xiao Lian, originally, Mom really didn't want to mess things up. If we spend that money, when would our family be able to pay it off?"

Just as Cao Xiaolian was about to speak, her mother stopped her, "Listen to your mother."

She closed her mouth and quietly listened to her mother, "But mother knows that you are filial, and Xiao Xia is also filial. If I don't go and treat you, you two would feel even worse than I do. "Okay, I'll go."

"If you don't want to be accompanied in a sanatorium, then don't. Didn't Xiao Lian take over the job? If I go to treat my illness, my daughter will have to work hard at home to earn money to raise me. It's because of the virtue that I had accumulated in my previous life.

As he spoke, tears were streaming down his face.

She also understood that this life of hers was something that the children cared even more about than her. Since that was the case, no matter how much she had offended them, she would at least live on.

"Sure!" Cao Xiaolian was also crying. "Mom, I'll send you to the capital and then I'll come back. Work hard and earn money. I'll be very filial to you in the future."

Cao Xiaoxia also sobbed, "Mom, I'm going to the military to study hard. I'll send the subsidies back to you, so that you can relieve the burden on my family."

"Silly girl!" Mother Cao held the two children's heads, feeling sad and happy at the same time. She muttered, "My two silly girls!"

The date had already been booked and the train ticket had been bought. From here to the provincial capital, there was a total of eight hours of green train time. Cao Xiaolian cooked the eggs and corn cob ahead of time and brought them to eat.

His house was still on the market.

"We'll come back in the future. What's the point of selling it?"

Cao Xiaolian had her own plans.

Their town was very close to the county, and this county was the closest to the city in all the counties.

Approximately three years later, the current enterprises would start to be privatized one after another. At that time, a large number of state-owned enterprises would collapse or transform and be contracted by the private sector.

This means that China has officially entered the age of capitalism.

At that time, there would be commercial housing, and all sorts of supporting facilities would be developed by leaps and bounds. This county would eventually be merged into a part of the city, and because the environment was good, it would create a livable city, which was also known as the Rich District.

And their town was the center of this wealthy district.

Because of the rapid development of various industries, there was a need for labor. In the village, it would take about five years for a wave of workers to arrive, and at that time, the entire village would move to the town, while the town would move to the county, and the town would move to the city.

Using the advantages of her previous life, Cao Xiaolian clearly knew where the best development zone was.

However, she could not say these words.

"Mom."

She made up a half-truth, "If you go to the sanatorium now, I won't stay at home anymore. I'm going to open a shop in the town and start a business."

Mother Cao was shocked, "Xiaolian, this business is not something anyone can do. It's tiring."

"It's fine, mom. You saw it too. I'm in the village right now, so it's not convenient for me to do anything. I can just buy a button and come to town. Why not open a shop here? It's easier for me to live alone." In the future, when you recover from your illness, we'll stay here. There's no use in keeping the house, so why don't we deal with it? "

She was thinking about one thing, Mother Cao was thinking about another.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Old Cao warned him, "I can't spend any money in the sanatorium. When you rent a shop, don't worry about the money. You can earn money from the house first, but don't worry about yourself."

Hearing her mother's words, Cao Xiaolian was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. At the same time, she felt very touched.

This is mother. No matter where you go, the person who worries about you the most will always be her.

Cao Xiaoling decided to reassure her. "Do you still remember the girl who drove me home that day? We will do business together, she will invest, I will do it, or else your daughter will not dare to act arrogantly. "

"What about the girl?" Mother Cao was immediately relieved. She was also very polite and had money. If Cao Xiaolian was doing business with her, she would be more at ease.

"However, Xiao Lian, since he has invested, we will have to work hard. This year, it is not easy for anyone to earn money. Don't let him lose everything."

Then Mother Cao probably felt that it was inappropriate so she quickly added, "But she looked for our Xiao Lian because she has good eyes."

Looking at her mother, Cao Xiaolian laughed.

Her mother was healthy and her sister was happy. This was the greatest wish of her life.

"Mom, don't worry. Your daughter will definitely get a good result."

After sending Mother Cao to a sanatorium in the provincial capital, everything was ready. When Cao Xiaolan came back, she had already heard about her house.

"Uncle Tian, who bought it?"

Cao Xiaoling was surprised to hear this news. After all, rural houses were not easy to buy and sell. She didn't expect it to be settled in less than half a month.

"Ah, like I said, don't be unhappy."

Tian Fugui was still a bit embarrassed as he blinked his eye sockets and clicked his tongue, not knowing what to say.

"You still know how to be embarrassed? Come, Xiao Lian, let me tell you."

It turned out that the one who bought the house was the widow Wu next door.

He didn't know if Widow Wu had too much money or not, but when she heard that the Cao family wanted to buy a house, she came to Tian Fugui and insisted on buying it.

"Your Uncle Tian has a soft ear." Actually, Gui Hua Niang wanted to say that he was grinded by that old demon, but his crotch would be weak if he tried hard enough. However, Cao Xiaolan was an unmarried woman after all, so she couldn't really say, "I don't want to sell it to that widow Wu. She's just like that old demon every day."

"Aunt, why didn't you sell it?"

"AHH!" Gui Hua Niang did not expect her reaction and cautiously asked, "Xiao Lian, aren't you angry?"

The village was not big, and everyone knew that Widow Wu could not get along with the Cao family. Especially since she had tarnished Cao Xiaolian's reputation, and had also slept with Wang Ziwen's younger generation. Everyone despised her.

"I'm not angry." Cao Xiaolian tilted her head and said innocently with her big eyes, "My mom is sick now and is asking for money. She is willing to buy it and I can't be happy about it. How can I be angry?"

Mother Gui Hua thought about it and felt that this was the same logic, but she agreed with Widow Wu and started to come up with a crooked idea. "Xiao Lian, I see that this Widow Wu isn't any good person and isn't very good. Where did all this money come from? If you can't do it, just give me more money. Your mom needs money in the hospital anyway. "

In his anger, he didn't bother to use his words anymore.

"It's fine, Aunt. Just follow the original price."

Actually, Cao Xiaolian had planned to give them a discount of thirty to fifty yuan if anyone bought them. Since Widow Wu wanted to buy them, she decided to buy them at their original price.

They had agreed on the price of a thousand yuan, and in the end, they decided to return in three days and settle with Tian Fugui's family.

Cao Xiaolian, who had rushed back to town, was surprised to see Li Yugeng.

"Why are you here?" She had arranged to meet with Shang Yin here, but she did not expect to see him. Instead, she saw Li Yugeng.

Li YuGeng didn't look too good, but he still asked patiently, "How is Aunt doing?"

No matter how much she disliked him, she couldn't show him her face even if he asked her out of the kindness of his heart.

"Not bad, everything is fine over there."

"That's good." Li YuGeng nodded and left.

He left without saying anything.

Cao Xiaolian was too lazy to bother with him anymore, so she found a place to sit down. Just as she sat down, she saw Shang Yin walking over from the inside, and quickly stood up and waved, "Sis, over here."

Shang Yin was in a great mood.

Pull the camera back to ten minutes ago.

Shang Yin placed the contract on the table and pushed it to Li Yugeng.

He was baffled. "You want to do business with Cao Xiaoling?"

If he remembered correctly, that person, Tao Qing, was the same as his mother. He was a noble and aloof person; he hated all things that were common to people. Didn't Shang Yin care a lot about the status of Tao Qing's disciple? Why would he suddenly have to go into business?

"That's right, I've discovered that she still has a lot of sparkles on her body. Who knows, maybe she'll be able to create a brand name for Chinese goods in the future."

"Then do it." Hearing someone praise Cao Xiaolian, Li Yugeng felt that he had a bit of pride. What was going on?

Before he could think it through, he saw Shang Yin open his arms. "Come, give me the money."

"What money?" He was puzzled.

"Two thousand dollars." Shang Yin glared. "One thousand yuan is invested, and there's one thousand yuan left for Cao Xiaolian's mother to treat her illness. You don't think I can afford that, do you?"

What a joke, this was the entire family's savings. She had already told her mother that she would return the money to her family after a week.

Although her mother said she didn't need it and told her to keep it for herself in case of an emergency, but she, Shang Yin, would never lose out.

"You invest, you own shares, and you still ask me for money?" Li YuGeng spoke slowly, "I'll give you one thousand yuan before I start treating. You can pay for the investment yourself."

"Alright then, I'll withdraw the funds."

Shang Yin's gentle words made Li Yugeng frown. "Are you joking?"

"Of course I'm serious." She brazenly started to lie, "For commoners like us, a thousand dollars is practically all we have. I think Cao Xiaolian is a good bet, but she isn't worth it for me to gamble with her. "What do you think? If you think well of her, you should invest and return the money. If you lose, then you will lose everything."

When Shang Yin said this, he was sure that Li YuGeng would pay.

He came to ask for help and to contact the hospital. He even reviewed the registered contract. If Shang Yin still couldn't tell that Li YuGeng had special feelings for Cao Xiaoling, then she would be a fool.

Since he was chasing a girl, he had to pay a price.

Li Yugeng was also cunning, but there was nothing he could do.

She was right, there were losses and gains in the business. He trusted Cao Xiaoling, but he had no reason to let Shang Yin suffer losses along with him.

"Sure!" Li YuGeng said happily, "I'll have someone transfer to you tomorrow."

"Oh right, Teacher Tao told me to tell you that the anniversary of your mother's death is in the next few days. The capital hopes that you can make a trip back."

Li Yugeng's face darkened instantly. "He contacted you?"

To be entrusted to others and to be loyal to others.

Even Shang Yin had no choice but to submit. The background of the other side was too great, so she wanted to do things properly. She was happy for Tao Qing, and she also wanted to leave a good impression on herself.

"You two are father and son after all, how could there be any hatred between the two of you? So what if the past is over?" In a few days, Teacher Tao will also go to the capital to meet some friends. She will also be participating in Auntie Lin's anniversary. "

"I know."

The blue veins on Li Yugeng's fist, which had been placed on the table, were almost popping out of their sockets. His expression was also rather unsightly as he said, "I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow." He stood up and left.
