Since it was fine, Tong Tong went back to the printing shop to pack up his things. What he didn't expect was that Xiao Jia had been working inside for a long time and had almost cleaned it up. However, the computer with a broken head and a halved chair were not thrown away, and the boss came back to deal with it.

Tong Tong patted his shoulder with emotion and said, "Did you come back specifically?"

"Well, I saw the notice sent by the school official account and was very worried, so I came back and checked it out." Xiao Jia said: "Anyway, my home is right next to the port city, so I only take the bus for two hours."

"I'm determined. It's not easy to run for two hours on such a hot day."

"I can't help anything else, so I cleaned up."

Tong Tong was still very moved and joked: "It's time to raise your salary."

"No, no, no." Xiao Jia waved his hands repeatedly: "I am very grateful that you can take me in to work here. My living expenses are settled, I have so many books to read, and I can learn a lot from you."

"...I'm embarrassed to say this."

Xiao Jia told the truth. He said that when he was packing up his things, he saw blood splattered on the a4 paper and hairs scattered on the ground. You can imagine how intense the fight was.

Tong Tong joked again: "There are surveillance monitors in and outside the store. If you are interested, you can check out the surveillance monitor."

Xiao Jia shook his head wildly: "No, I'm still very brave."

He had doubted before whether the boss had been engaged in a detective career, and the content of the announcement further confirmed his guess. Although the boss didn't say anything, he knew that the boss must have been a very powerful person before.

"Boss, how many years can the criminal who committed the crime... be sentenced to?"

"I don't know yet. It will take a long time to convict a person." After that, Tong Tong said to himself: "Anyway, I will not ask for a heavy sentence, nor will I ask for a reduction in sentence for him. Only by receiving the punishment he deserves can he understand something."

The merchants around him sent comfort. When the owner of the milk tea shop saw the bandage on Tong Tong's arm, he said "Ouch" several times in distress, and wanted to stew bone soup for him to replenish it. She was too enthusiastic, and Tong Tong couldn't refuse her.

The owner of the fruit shop crazily cursed the criminal, saying that he was not only fierce but also cunning, and specifically chose a power outage to commit the crime. "Hmph, he dared to cause trouble for you while we were away. If we were all here, one by one would scare him away!"

The owner of the fruit shop said that if he really saw the axe in the gangster's hand, he would probably run faster than anyone else, which would just be a pleasure to talk afterwards.

But Tong Tong didn't say it out loud. He smiled and expressed his gratitude, and also expressed his apology to the neighbors: "I'm sorry, because I'm all scared."

The neighbors waved their hands one after another, condemning the criminals and comforting Tong Tong. Tong Tong was furious because of the quarrel, and he didn't sleep much, so he almost fainted. He declined the neighbors' concern and asked Xiao Jia to go to the hospital to visit his "colleague" Qian Qian Qian. He just wanted to close the door and have a good sleep.

The surroundings were clean. He took out his cell phone and there were more than a dozen emails in his mailbox. This week he had to deal with the police and doctors frequently, so he definitely didn't have time to read the manuscript. Thinking of this, his head hurts even more.

He barely slept for an hour and received a call from the hospital. The doctor wanted to communicate with Tong Tong about the treatment plan for Lao Tong's next course.

Oh, by the way, there is an old father who is hospitalized in the hospital. He was really idle at all. Fortunately, Lao Tong lives in the same hospital as Qian Qianqian. After seeing his father, he can still see Qian Qianqian again.

He never dared to drive in this state. He would definitely have to spend money to go to the hospital. It would be a little bit easier, so he chose to take the bus. On the bus, others saluted him, making Tong Tong feel uncomfortable. He then realized that he was wearing the T-shirt from last night. Not only was he sweating and smelling pungent, but he was also covered in dust. Not only that, he saw his face from the car window and his beard appeared.

Alas, when will you live in such a mess?

In the hospital, except for the obstetrics department, there was basically no joy in other places. Every time I talked to the attending doctor, Tong Tong was in a bad mood. This time the doctor recommended a medicine to him, and the treatment cost was nearly 20,000 yuan a month.

Tong Tong was dumbfounded, and the doctor asked sympathetically: "Do you still need to treat it?"

After being hospitalized for a long time, the doctor also learned about their family affairs. Tong Tong did this for his adoptive father, which was better than most of his biological children. Therefore, even if he gave up, the doctor still admired him.

Unexpectedly, Tong Tong nodded happily: "Treatment, as long as there is hope, then it will be cured!"

"This disease is really a bottomless pit..."

"No matter what, he raised me and gave me a chance to finish college." Tong Tong yawned and said, "I'll work harder to make money."

The doctor admired him very much, but this kind of "admiration" requires Tong Tong to pay a huge price to achieve. However, Tong Tong remembered what Lao Tong said, who doesn't want to live for everyone who is on the edge of life? Besides, Lao Tong still has dreams and has to write novels.

After talking to the doctor, Tong Tong told Lao Tong about the situation. As usual, Lao Tong said something like "no treatment" and "don't waste money". Tong Tong was not in the mood to pay attention to these words and said bluntly: "Dad, is Tong Xingshuai still coming to see you?"

"Occasionally, but this time it seems that I haven't been here for ten days."

Tong Tong wandered for a moment and said, "I want to discuss with him. I want to share the medical expenses with him."

Lao Tong hurriedly said, "Don't look for him anymore. He has no money and loses business. He still has to save money to buy a house and get married. If he had really money, he would have taken it out long ago."

Hearing these words, Tong Tong felt a pain in his chest.

Is he rich? He was just in the early stages of his business, but he was lucky and made some money. Doesn’t he need to buy a house or get married? Old Tong is worried that his illness will drag down his son to get married. Aren’t he worried about Tong Tong?

Perhaps because he noticed that he was speechless, Old Tong hurriedly said, "I mean it. He told me that he and his mother both live on the little money they paid for when doing cleaning, and they really can't get the rest."

To be honest, Tong Tong didn't believe it very much.

His eyes were very sharp, and he suddenly saw the shining eyes of Old Tong. Has the father and son agreed to settle Tong Tong and spend all his money and let Tong Xingshuai save the money?

The father and son really regard Tong Tong as a sucker?

Tong Tong felt very wronged and unfair, so he insisted: "Dad, give me Tong Xingshuai's contact information! To be honest, it is indeed a bit overload to let me bear it alone now."

Lao Tong could only send Tong Xingshuai's phone number and WeChat to Tong Tong, and Tong Tong went outside to call. From beginning to end, Lao Tong did not ask why he was dressed so messy and why he was not shaved. He only saw the bandage on his arm and asked indifferently why he was injured.

Tong Tong said calmly that he was injured when moving things, and it was nothing serious. Old Tong said "Oh" twice and weakly told him to "be careful", but Tong Tong didn't take it to heart.

He came to the lobby on the first floor and called Tong Xingshuai directly. After he identified his identity, Tong Xingshuai hesitated on the other end and said, "Did you call my dad? What's wrong with my dad?"

In linguistics, how do we distinguish between "we" and "we"? "we" does not necessarily include those who are obedient, but "we" unconditionally include those who are obedient. Obviously, Tong Xingshuai did not understand the difference between the two. He accurately stepped on a landmine and pointed out that it was "my dad", not our dad.

Tong Tong felt angry and said, "Your father needs money to treat his illness, aren't you going to express his feelings?"

"I said, I don't have money."

"You might as well say that you recognized your father not to treat him."

Tong Xingshuai immediately shouted, "How can you insult people so much? Don't think that you have the confidence to point fingers after spending a few dollars. Tell you, if my father had not taken you kindly, you would have starved to death. Isn't it natural for you to serve him?"

"But he gave you life." Tong Tong didn't want to get angry with such a person, so he adjusted his emotions and said, "Didn't you find him because of this reason? But when you found him and found that he was sick, he didn't want to recognize him again?"

"…You're talking nonsense!"

"Tong Xingshuai, I really can't understand you. If you regret it, you can cut off all contact and ignore your biological father. But you appear once a few days and don't pay for it, but you don't cut off contact with him. What's the reason for you?"

Because he still has two dilapidated houses waiting to be demolished.

Tong Tong did not expose him nakedly, and Tong Xingshuai could not admit it. Even so, he was choked by Tong Tong to death, and then said, "I don't have the same knowledge as you. What I do, you don't need to evaluate it."

Tong Tong didn't ask for the money, and he felt that he was quite sad. But Tong Xingshuai said it was not unreasonable. The old Tong raised Tong Tong, and Tong Tong should have supported him; while Tong Tong only gave Tong Xingshuai life and did not have any kind of raising him. It is understandable that Tong Xingshuai did not support him!

Even so, will Lao Tong leave the two houses to be demolished to Tong Tong?

Tong Tong forced himself to be a little more detached and didn't care too much. Everything he did was to "repay kindness". If he didn't think so, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.

Tong Tong opened his mobile banking and looked at the income in the past two months. Before the summer vacation, the two stores could earn about 20,000 yuan a month. If it weren't for the burden of his adoptive father, this income would be enough to make him live a very good life in Hong Kong City. However, the next treatment course would require a lot of money, and the competition planned by Tong Tong might have to be pushed back indefinitely.

Tong Tong kept stroking his forehead with sorrow, but he could never be as ruthless as Tong Xingshuai. Forget it, forget it, helping him is important, he can't mention "dream" yet.

He stood up, turned around, and found Wu Hailan staring at him intently. She looked so sensible, like a little girl watching an idol who had loved for many years, like a girl watching a lover who had been waiting for many years, and like a mother, watching a child who had been away from home for many years and finally returned.

Her eyes were too gentle and sad, and it did not fit the character of a strong woman at all.

Tong Tong had just suffered a lot of grievances and couldn't stand her eyes. He wanted to escape in panic, but Wu Hailan stood in front of him and asked, "Tell me, who are you, okay?"
