"Have you found the kidney source?" The doctor looked up from the folder and looked at her: "I'm going to study abroad next week. If I can't do the surgery this week, it will probably have to be postponed to half a month later. I'm worried about you.

My father’s body will not survive that day.”

"The kidney source has been found," she lowered her head and asked softly after a while: "Well, can the surgery fee be lower?"

"Do you think this is a vegetable market?" The doctor gave her a dissatisfied look: "I have already obtained the greatest preferential policy for you. If it weren't for An's former reputation, do you think a kidney transplant surgery can cost RMB 100,000?

Do you have to come down?"

Fang Xiao immediately fell silent. She knew that the kidney transplant operation would definitely cost more than 100,000 yuan, but the key point was that the money for selling the kidney was 300,000 yuan, and her father had to be hospitalized for chemotherapy and recuperation after the operation, which cost at least 100,000 yuan.

She urgently needs five hundred thousand dollars, which she paid for a week ago, but now she can't even come up with ten thousand dollars. Five hundred thousand dollars is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for her.

She only went to see her mother in the afternoon. People in the south are very particular about burning seven. After a person dies, he or she will burn paper for forty-nine days. Every seven days, she will bring a handful of flowers to her mother's cemetery.

Today is the last seven days, which is a full forty-nine days.

It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Binhai to Huicheng. Fang Xiao took a long-distance bus back to Huicheng in the afternoon, went directly to the cemetery, and bought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums under the cemetery.

She always comes in the afternoon because flowers are much cheaper in the afternoon. Now she is so poor that she even has to decide which restaurant is cheaper when eating fast food.

Holding this bouquet of flowers, she slowly walked up the cold steps towards the mountain. It was already the end of December, and even in the south, the temperature was pitifully low. What's more, it was still raining today, making her mood as gloomy as the weather.

.

Walking to her mother's gravesite, she unexpectedly found a bouquet of white chrysanthemums on the tombstone. The corner of her mouth twitched. This was the first time in the hundred days since her mother's death that someone other than her thought she had come to send her flowers.

.

I placed the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone and touched the photo on the tombstone with my hand. My mother's smiling face looked very peaceful, not at all like the ferocious look she had when she died with gnashing teeth.

"Mom, I will take good care of my father and brother," she whispered to the cold tombstone: "Don't worry, Mom, my daughter has grown up and can support this dilapidated family."

In fact, they had no family to support themselves, because the Fang family had gone bankrupt, all their family property was confiscated, and the property title deeds and all the Fang family's personal belongings were auctioned off to pay off debts.

And she transformed from a wealthy young lady who had no fingers in the world to a woman who shouldered the burden of the family overnight. Her mother's death, her father's illness, and her mentally retarded younger brother Fang Chen who was living in a special school all weighed on her.

On her shoulders alone.

The Fang family was completely in decline, the tiger was bullied by the dog, and the so-called relatives and friends had long disappeared at this time.

Rich, drunk, and full of brothers, how can one see one in times of crisis?

When I was a child and memorized "Zeng Guang Xian Wen", I never understood the true meaning of this sentence. Now that I am immersed in the situation, I understand how precise and realistic this sentence is.

She used to drive around, but now she was too poor to even take a taxi. When she walked out of the cemetery, she stood in the rain on the side of the road for a long time, and finally squeezed into a bus because she was going to a long-distance station.

Return to Binhai.
