After staying in the hospital for more than a week, my attending physician suggested that I stay in the hospital for observation for a few days, but I really didn’t want to trouble Xu Hai, so I took the initiative to go through the discharge procedures.
After I was discharged from the hospital, I went home alone, and then planned to go to Xu Hai's store to return the medical expenses he had advanced for me.
When I arrived at Xu Hai's restaurant, I heard loud noises coming from inside as soon as I reached the door.
This time is not meal time, and usually no guests will come to eat at this time.
I stopped at the door of the restaurant and took a look inside. I saw a middle-aged woman in a fashionable dress standing in front of Xu Hai and chattering.
Xu Hai just sat aside and smoked silently. No matter what the woman said, Xu Hai just didn't reply.
The woman got anxious and kicked over the trash can next to her, scattering all the paper scraps inside.
"Xu Hai, I don't have to say anything, but you must give me the money today, otherwise I will stay with you and not leave!"
After the woman finished speaking, she sat down opposite Xu Hai and put on a stinky air.
Xu Hai still kept smoking, and finally said in a deep voice: "Don't act like a fool here. I have already given you five thousand yuan this month. I don't believe that five thousand yuan is not enough for my son's tuition."
"It's not enough in the first place! My son is in high school, and the tuition fee per semester is 2,300. How much food and clothing does he have to pay?"
Xu Hai sighed helplessly: "Deng Li, when the court awarded your son to you, you remember to bear all the expenses for your son. I am obligated to give him a certain amount of help, but let's just say that the money I will give you this year is
If you don’t have 30,000 to 50,000, you still have 10,000 to 20,000, right?”
The woman named Deng Li raised her chin and said, "I don't care so much about you. If you don't give me money, my son won't be able to go to high school. You just have to figure it out!"
I finally understood. This person named Deng Li should be Xu Hai's ex-wife. Judging from the way she is dressed, she is not a good person.
Since they were all divorced, this was no longer a family matter, so I just walked in and called Brother Xu.
When Xu Hai saw me, he was a little surprised and said: "Xiaofeng, why are you discharged from the hospital?"
I smiled and replied: "The doctor said it's nothing serious and I can leave the hospital. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Xu Hai didn't believe it and said, "Didn't the doctor recommend staying for a few more days?"
I just said that the doctor came to check me today and said that I was recovering well and left me to go through the discharge procedures.
After saying that, I looked at Deng Li and asked Xu Hai who she was?
Before Xu Hai could answer me, Deng Li glanced at me and said, "It's none of your business. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Xu Hai pointed at Deng Li: "Be careful when talking to my friend."
Deng Li snorted coldly and said: "I don't care who your friends are, just give me the money quickly, or I will make trouble here and see how you do business!"
Xu Hai waved his hand and said angrily: "Try making trouble!"
Deng Li dismissed it and shouted when she walked to the door of the restaurant: "Come and take a look! This store is too dark... My man had a stomachache after eating in his store at noon, and he is still in the hospital.
But this boss said it was none of his business... Come and give me your opinion..."
After Deng Li made such a fuss, many people quickly gathered in front of the store to watch the fun.
Xu Hai probably didn't expect that she would really dare to make trouble, but it still made Xu Hai very angry. He yelled at Deng Li at the door: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense."
Deng Li shouted even more excessively: "Everyone has heard it! He didn't let me say anything anymore. This is obviously a guilty conscience! Everyone should keep their eyes open in the future. This restaurant is too dark. I suggest the relevant leaders
Come take care of it..."
Xu Hai was really angry, and his eyes began to become bloodshot.
You must not be impulsive at this time. I immediately stopped in front of Xu Hai and said to him: "Brother Xu, calm down, I will help you handle this matter."
With that said, I walked towards the door and shouted loudly: "Don't be fooled by her words. This woman is Xu Hai's ex-wife. She comes to Brother Xu every day to ask for money... No, Xu Hai
The eldest brother didn't give her money, so he started talking nonsense. Have you ever seen such a person?"
After my incitement, the crowd's discussion instantly shifted to my side.
Some people even stood up and said: "I have lived here for several years, and this store has always been open here. Nothing like what you mentioned has ever happened. We neighbors all know that Boss Xu is a dedicated businessman. Can you
Don't talk nonsense here."
Then more and more people began to criticize Deng Li, saying how shameless she was when she came to her ex-husband to ask for money after she got divorced!
Deng Li actually started to scold the onlookers. Of course, she couldn't scold so many people by herself, and she was quickly defeated.
Finally he left angrily.
The crowd of people watching slowly dispersed. Some people said, Boss Xu, we all believe in you. You have been doing business here for so long. It is impossible to believe that it is true just because of a few words from others.
I was really touched at that moment. This is how good people are rewarded!
Xu Hai also kept thanking the crowd. After they all dispersed, Xu Hai slowly swept the paper scraps on the ground into the trash can.
After sitting down, I asked Xu Hai: "Brother Xu, is that woman just now your ex-wife?"
Xu Hai nodded and said it made you laugh.
I said it's nothing, my family's situation is worse than yours.
Then I asked him why she still comes to you asking for money after you have been divorced for so long?
Xu Hai sighed heavily: "It's not my son's business, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about her."
"I just heard you say outside that the son was awarded to her, and she should be responsible for it! Stop being such a good old man."
Xu Hai sighed again and shook his head to express that he didn't want to talk about these things.
I didn't ask any more, because I'm in almost the same situation as him now, so I can understand his feelings.
I immediately scanned the QR code on the table with my mobile phone, and then transferred 3,000 yuan to him.
When he heard the notification sound that the account had arrived, Xu Hai frowned and asked me, "What are you doing?"
I said this is the medical expenses you advanced for me, and then said thank you to him,
Xu Hai picked up his cell phone and said, "The medical expenses are too much! I only paid two thousand yuan, how can you pay three thousand?"
I smiled and said, "Every meal I have eaten in the past week or so has been brought to me by you. This thousand yuan is a special thank you to you."
Xu Hai said with a helpless look: "Xiao Feng, you are out of touch now. I don't have many friends here. If you treat me as a friend, don't do this... I will transfer this thousand yuan to you."
.”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said: "Brother Xu, just accept it! This way I can feel more at ease, and if I still trouble you in the future, if you accept me as a friend, I know it will not be easy for you.
"
Finally, with my insistence, Xu Hai accepted the offer, and then he said that we would have dinner at his place that night and he would cook his specialty dishes for me.
I happily agreed. Xu Hai is really my first solid friend after my bankruptcy, and he is really a very good person.
If I have a chance to stand up in the future, I will definitely not forget him.
While chatting with Xu Hai, my cell phone rang.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was An Lan whom I hadn't contacted for a long time.
