Chapter 25 Dilemma
In Sun Yiyi's intermittent narrative, Shi Lei finally figured out everything.
More than a year after her husband passed away, Sun Yiyi's mother met a man who was a few years older than her by chance.
The man claimed to be in business in Wu Dong. After his wife died in her early years, she had no re-establishment and had no children. She came to Runzhou to have a business to negotiate.
After that, the man would meet Sun Yiyi's mother every time he went to Runzhou to discuss business. After a while, the two of them had established a romantic relationship. Perhaps because the man pretended to be too good, he also asked Sun Yiyi's mother to sell the house in Runzhou and take the money to Wu Dong with him.
It was nothing more than some business shortage of money and turnover. Sun Yiyi's mother gave the man all the income from selling the house and his savings of more than one million yuan without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the man completely disappeared after getting the money. Then she realized that the house they lived in was also rented by a man. A woman who suddenly lost half of her life's savings could no longer afford such a high rent. She also felt that a forty-year-old woman would be cheated of money and sex. She was embarrassed to return to Runzhou, so she rented a small house in Wudongcheng and found a job. She settled down.
It would be fine if it was just like this. The loss of money only made the mother and daughter’s life difficult. However, not long ago, Sun Yiyi’s mother suddenly suffered from angina pectoris at home and was sent to the hospital for examination. She realized that there was a heart problem. The doctor said she wanted to have a heart bypass surgery. This time she saved her life and the next time she became ill, she might not be able to save her. Moreover, the mother after the illness had basically lost her ability to work, and she could barely deal with the small things at home, and she could not do the work at all.
After spending more than a year in Wu Dong, thanks to Sun Yiyi's mother being an accountant, her work income was pretty good, and she barely saved some money. She originally planned to go to college for Sun Yiyi, but her illness directly emptied all the savings at home, and Sun Yiyi even gave up her studies. The school reluctantly agreed to delay Sun Yiyi's enrollment for one year, but Sun Yiyi knew that even if she cured her mother's illness, she was afraid that she would not be able to collect enough tuition before September next year.
At first, Sun Yiyi wanted to find a normal job to raise money for her mother's illness, but she was a high school graduate and a weak girl. Where could she find a high-paying job? She used to work as a waiter in a KTV, but later she heard from her colleagues there that the income of selling beer in a bar would be much higher, and some girls could be tens of thousands a month, so Sun Yiyi appeared here.
She only worked here for five or six days. At the beginning, the people she met were better. Seeing that she was beautiful, she only teased her words. The sales of beer were pretty. If it were the same as the first two or three days, her commission might really reach tens of thousands in a month. However, in places like bars, the mixed side of the fish and dragons was soon fully revealed in front of Sun Yiyi, and she began to meet those customers who tried to touch her.
Actually, it was pretty good tonight. Even though they had bad intentions, they wanted to get Sun Yiyi drunk and then took her to the hotel. Some of them just started to get it right and wanted to take advantage of it. Fortunately, Sun Yiyi was extremely careful and could barely protect herself.
But this is just a matter of time. Things have occurred frequently in just a few days. If you continue, something may happen sooner or later.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Shi Lei returned to the bar and found that Zhang Wei and the other two had already played the table with two girls, and they had no intention of going back to school at this moment. Shi Lei greeted him and took Sun Yiyi to the bar to get the commission today. Ten dozen beer, but he actually offered 1,000 yuan. No wonder many girls continued to work even though they knew that being a beer girl would be taken advantage of.
He took Sun Yiyi to a nearby porridge restaurant. Seeing Sun Yiyi drinking porridge in big gulps, Shi Lei felt very nervous.
"Yiyi, don't go to the bar to sell beer tomorrow. Something will happen sooner or later."
Seeing Sun Yiyi put down the bowl, Shi Lei said softly.
Sun Yiyi nodded. She had actually known this for a long time. It was just her mother's medical expenses and the living expenses of the mother and the little girl was breathless. She had no other skills. What could she do if she didn't do this job?
But soon, Sun Yiyi felt that the future was slim again. Her mother was seriously ill and she thought about entering the university campus next year. If she gave up this job, life would be desperate.
Jade stammered his lips, Sun Yiyi seemed to have something to say, but she couldn't say it.
"I will help you find a way to treat my aunt. As for your tuition, isn't there a student loan now? In your case, you should be able to apply. Now, let's consider the money for treating my aunt. One by one, tell me, how much does it cost to do a heart bypass surgery?"
Sun Yiyi's tears seemed to be about to burst out of her eyes again. She said in tears: "The doctor said that the cost of the operation is more than 50,000 yuan, and the post-operative recovery may be close to 100,000 yuan. If my mother has medical insurance, the medical insurance can be reimbursed by nearly half. The doctor asked me to prepare at least 60,000 yuan."
Shi Lei nodded, thinking that his credit limit next week will definitely not be lower than this week, and there will definitely be no problem in helping Sun Yiyi pay this fee.
However, Shi Lei didn't know how the scepter would calculate the money. Helping his friend's mother pay for medical expenses is obviously different from direct consumption.
On one hand, Sun Yiyi may endanger his life. Although Shi Lei and Sun Yiyi grew up together, they almost regarded her as their own sister. For a long time, both the Shi family and the neighbors nearby joked that he and Sun Yiyi were so good, so they just made up a family of two daughters. When Sun Yiyi's father had not passed away, the two families seemed very willing to see the two of them finally get together like this.
When Shi Lei was in high school, he had a little ignorant understanding of the things between men and women, and was indeed a little moved by Sun Yiyi. However, not to mention that he was not a boyfriend or girlfriend, even if it was true, Shi Lei could not give up his life to help her. Shi Lei was not so noble yet.
Why not ask about the scepter?
Shi Lei quickly denied his idea.
He could almost imagine that the scepter would never give an answer, and even the scepter might deliberately put him in an increasingly dilemma in order to make the game more interesting.
To negotiate with the scepter is like begging for a tiger.
But, was it that I just watched Sun Yiyi's mother continue to get sick? I forced Sun Yiyi to the corner, and this little girl might be ruined.
Shi Lei had no choice but to make the best of both worlds, and could only comfort Sun Yiyi, saying that there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and there will always be a solution, and sent Sun Yiyi home.
Although Sun Yiyi's mother was lying on the bed, she was waiting for Sun Yiyi to come back. She was shocked when she saw Shi Lei. After learning about the incident, she scolded Sun Yiyi in anger, saying that even if she died, Sun Yiyi was not allowed to be a beer girl. She always thought that Sun Yiyi was still working as a waiter in that KTV!
