Chapter 1101 Superficial happiness
"Of course I'm relieved to have you here!" Mingyue said sincerely, "Since the children have adapted, you don't have to worry too much. By the way, Xiao Xiang must be very sad, right? You should take the time to chat with him. After all, you are the best friends.
ah!"
Shi Haibin frowned slightly, "I have been busy with work before, and he has turned down several appointments with me. In fact, I am also quite worried. I will ask him out to chat in two days!"
A few days later, Shi Haibin transferred the money to Mingyue. This man was quite responsible.
Anyway, since there are paper puppets, Mingyue will not be in a hurry to go back. If you have money and leisure, you should have fun in time. Why do you make yourself sick?
Taking advantage of the fact that he was not too busy at work, Shi Haibin contacted Xiao Xiang by phone.
"You've been very busy lately, how are you? Are you free to come out for a drink today?"
"Of course, then we'll meet at the same place!"
Shi Haibin was silent for a moment, "I just want to talk to you, don't look for anyone else today!"
Xiao Xiang paused and said hurriedly, "Okay, let us brothers talk about what's on our minds today. We won't go home until we're drunk!"
In the evening, Shi Haibin came to the hotel. Xiao Xiang had already arrived. Seeing that he was in good spirits, Shi Haibin was relieved and asked, "How are you doing lately?"
Xiao Xiang had a bitter look on his face, "That's it, I borrowed a lot of debt to treat my mother's illness, plus the car loan and house loan, and I have to raise a child, I'm under a lot of pressure!"
Shi Haibin nodded with deep feeling, "We are men, heads of families, and we must persevere for our families no matter how difficult it is!"
"Brother Shi, how is your sister-in-law? I should have paid you back the money earlier, but I have this on hand..., please allow me a few more days!"
Xiaoxiang complained, "You also know the situation in my family. Although I collected some money for the old lady's funeral, my father is not in good health, and my brother is in that condition. Alas! I can't help it!"
"I'm not here to ask for money from you. We are good brothers. Just saying this hurts our feelings. Come have a drink!" Shi Haibin patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Xiao Xiang said with a grateful face, "Thankfully I have your help. You are the most loyal and good friend I know!"
Shi Haibin's eyes moved slightly. His wife's treatment fee was a lot of money. Although he had his bonus, it was still a shortcoming. Considering Xiao Xiang's situation, he was too embarrassed to talk to him.
I borrowed money from other friends, but I could get very little. After all, we all have to live and support our families.
"Brother, which hospital is my sister-in-law in? I'll go see her tomorrow!"
"She went abroad for treatment."
"What? Are you really going abroad?" Xiao Xiang frowned, "That will cost a lot of money!"
They were fellow villagers or elementary school classmates. Shi Haibin's family situation was better than that of Xiao Xiang's family. When the two of them went out to play together, Shi Haibin paid for most of the time.
Although he took advantage of him, Xiao Xiang felt quite jealous. They took the college entrance examination together, Shi Haibin was admitted to a prestigious university, and he barely managed to pass three books.
If he finds a beautiful and capable wife, and his parents buy a car and a house with full payment, he is much better off than he is.
It is not easy to take root in a big city, but fortunately Shi Haibin is a generous man, and I have gained a lot of benefits from hanging out with him over the years.
At the same time, I also learned about Shi Haibin's financial situation. Although the couple both had jobs and could raise two children, Shi Haibin was lax and he would not have much money.
"Is my sister-in-law alone in a foreign country? The treatment costs a lot, do you have money?" he asked.
Shi Haibin drank the wine in one gulp and said, "I sold the house!"
"What? You're crazy. The house is the foundation. Do you want to go back to your hometown?" Xiao Xiang felt pain in his heart, as if he was selling his house.
"What if I don't sell the house? I can't watch my wife die!" There were tears in the man's eyes.
"But she is a terminally ill patient, and there is little hope of cure. My mother is a living example. You, you are simply confused!" Xiao Xiang almost beat his chest.
Seeing that Shi Haibin's expression was wrong, he hurriedly said, "I'm not saying that I don't care about my sister-in-law's life or death, but you have to consider the actual situation. You still have two children. Where can they live if you don't have a house? What will you do in the future?"
"To put it bluntly, even if you spend all your money to cure her, there is still a possibility of recurrence." He confided.
"My sister-in-law has decided that she can no longer work. You have to support two children and patients by yourself. Even if you are a tough man, you can't bear it!"
In the past few months, Shi Haibin has indeed been under tremendous pressure. He sighed, "In the past, with my parents and your sister-in-law, I didn't have to take care of the house at all, and I didn't think too much about it."
"Now that I think about it, I was too confused. My parents are gone, and my wife is sick again. I have to take responsibility!"
"Forget it, just sell the house. With your ability, you will be able to buy a new house sooner or later, and all the money from selling the house will be given to your sister-in-law?" He was heartbroken.
"I sent my two children to boarding school, paid the fees, and used the remaining money to treat my wife's illness!"
"Didn't you save some for yourself?" Xiao Xiang asked.
"I'm penniless." Shi Haibin smiled bitterly, "I don't have to worry about my children. I live in the dormitory of my work unit now."
"Here, how much does it cost for sister-in-law's treatment?" He mentally calculated the price of Shi Haibin's house.
"The condition has deteriorated so seriously that there is no cure in China. There is still a glimmer of hope abroad, with a course of treatment costing more than 3 million!"
"It's so expensive, you're so willing to give it up!" Xiao Xiang gritted his teeth.
"No matter how much I take, I can't live without my wife!" Shi Haibin wiped away tears, "Fortunately, I'm still young, so it should be enough to work hard. I just paid for the second course of treatment two days ago!"
"A course of treatment costs 3 million, how many courses of treatment will it take?" Xiao Xiang was simply going crazy. The money seemed to be wasted. If he had known this, he might as well have supported himself!
Of course, he couldn't say this.
"It depends on the specific condition. It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least four courses of treatment and one year!"
"More than 10 million! You are crazy. Even if I sell you, I won't be able to earn so much." Xiao Xiang was completely anxious.
"How can my sister-in-law bear to exploit you?"
"Don't say such things. I know you are doing it for my own good, but we are husband and wife. I am willing to spend more money for her!"
Xiao Xiang seemed to be looking at a fool, and thinking about this guy's nature, he felt regretful.
"Brother Shi, how did you raise 3 million in three months? Tell your brother, after all, I owe a lot of debt and I am in a hurry to pay back the money!" He barely controlled his expression.
Shi Haibin shook his head, "You also know what I'm doing. I've been transferred to the R&D department. I'll try my best before my brain becomes rigid!"
A trace of jealousy flashed in Xiaoxiang's eyes, and he said sourly, "Oh, it seems that I am worrying in vain. I have forgotten Brother Shi's ability. An annual salary of one million is nothing, so this little money is nothing!"
"Stop joking, how are you doing lately?"
"It's still the same as before, a life-and-death job, a salary that's neither too much nor too little, and I have enough money every month to pay for my house and car, and I can't even afford to buy a pack of cigarettes. Fortunately, my wife also works, otherwise I would really be ruined.
!”
"After several years of hard work, it will be easy when the loan is repaid!" Shi Haibin comforted him.
The two chatted for a while, and Shi Haibin left in a hurry.
After he left, Xiao Xiang returned to the hotel and found a waiter. The two of them put their heads together and muttered.
I don’t know what they were discussing, but the woman refused at first, but then she was persuaded, and they discussed it again before they went back.
