Chapter 196 Effort
During the high school entrance examination, I don’t know if it was because of the blessing of my second sister. I performed exceptionally well and entered a high school in the city. My contact with my family gradually became less and less. I focused on studying. Just when I received the admission notice from the university. When I read the book, I went home happily and prepared to tell my parents and eldest sister the news.
But I found that the people in the village looked at me differently. I will never forget that kind of look in my life. They were joking and contemptuous, just like looking at a commodity with a clearly marked price.
My parents look more like they have aged more than ten years, and their hair has turned gray.
I didn't know what happened at the time and kept asking, but my parents just sighed and never told me. "
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhenxian's tone paused again, and she stood up and picked up the red wine prepared by the hotel for the distinguished guests.
He uncorked the bottle in a very unfamiliar manner and poured a large sip of red wine into his mouth.
The bitter taste of the wine continued to spread between Zhou Zhenxian's lips and teeth.
The whole person started coughing continuously.
"If you want to drink, just tell me. Why are you in such a hurry to drink?"
Li Zhongnan stretched out his hand to help Zhou Zhenxian keep calm.
"Some things are like thorns buried in my heart. If I didn't drink, I wouldn't be able to tell them."
After saying that, Zhou Zhenxian started pouring red wine into her mouth again.
Not long after, most of the bottle of red wine had entered Zhou Zhenxian's stomach.
As someone who had almost never drank alcohol before, Zhou Zhenxian's cheeks quickly turned red.
The steps also started to stagger a little.
"Mr. Li, do you know? If it hadn't been for me, nothing would have happened to my eldest sister and my second sister. I would have been the bane of our family."
There were two lines of clear tears in the corners of Zhou Zhenxian's eyes, and her face was full of pain.
"If it weren't for me, the eldest sister wouldn't have to go out to work. With me and the second sister at home together, the second sister should not have any accidents."
Every word with a cry in her voice, and the look of pear blossoms with rain, made Li Zhongnan reach out to hold her in his arms.
"Zhenxian, please don't worry. Tell me what happened to your eldest sister, okay?"
With Li Zhongnan's patient persuasion, Zhou Zhenxian's mood gradually calmed down.
"After the eldest sister went out, she basically had no contact with her family except to send money. None of us knew that the eldest sister was actually very tired from living outside. At first, when she was young, she could only go to the restaurant to wash dishes. From early morning I washed until late for a full ten hours.
Later, when I grew up, my sister sent more money to the family in order to make more money.
I went to the construction site to carry bricks for others. There was an accident on the construction site that year. When the hospital finally contacted my parents, they told us that my sister had become a vegetable.
That was the first time I saw my sister in six years. My sister used to be very good-looking. Everyone would praise my sister for her beauty when they saw her.
But at that time, I could barely recognize my sister. She was only in her twenties, but she looked as if she was forty.
Both hands are covered with dense calluses and scars..."
Zhou Zhenxian could hardly describe the look he saw when he first saw it, and how much hardship he had to endure to become like this.
Fortunately, the eldest sister's situation is quite special. All body functions are still normal, but her brain was severely damaged and she has not been able to wake up.
Later, from Zhou Zhenxian's intermittent words due to emotion, Li Zhongnan also learned about the subsequent situation.
After taking the eldest sister home, the two elders have been taking care of their eldest daughter.
I usually rely on a gastric tube to feed liquid food and handle excrement.
The eldest sister can still barely maintain her life.
But the family situation at that time was that after paying the eldest sister's medical expenses, she was completely penniless.
It even owed a lot of foreign debt.
If Zhou Zhenxian hadn't worked hard enough, she would have received a full scholarship to the university.
She might not even be able to complete her studies.
After graduation, Zhou Zhenxian worked three part-time jobs in addition to her job.
Sending all the money home, I hope my sister can survive for a while longer.
Hold on until you have enough ability to make money, hold on until you can completely cure your sister.
Bad luck only strikes those who are miserable. Within a few years, the eldest sister's condition suddenly deteriorated.
The surgery fee was a very large amount. In order to save her sister's life, Zhou Zhenxian agreed to the marriage proposal from Jin Caihu's family.
Although Jin Caihu was an idle gangster at that time, his parents had saved some money to use as betrothal gifts.
All the gift money was used for the eldest sister’s surgery expenses.
But the eldest sister's physical condition is no longer what it used to be.
In the end, he still couldn't leave the operating room alive.
Jin Zaihu originally wanted to spend the betrothal money on a good splurge.
After learning that all the gift money was gone, his true nature was revealed.
In order to prevent Jin Caihu from harming his parents, Zhou Zhenxian could only take him out of the village.
Later, when he met Zhou Yuanjun and other things, Li Zhongnan also knew about it.
I have to say that Zhou Zhenxian's fate was really miserable.
Li Zhongnan, who was originally planning to use his wife's method to capture Zhou Zhenxian's heart, suddenly gave up on this idea.
With Zhou Zhenxian's personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to do anything to betray his wife.
Seemingly tired from crying, Zhou Zhenxian fell asleep in Li Zhongnan's arms.
The tears on her cheeks had also dried up, leaving two marks on her fair cheeks.
Looking at the shirt Zhou Zhenxian was wearing, Li Zhongnan sighed helplessly.
The money Zhou Zhenxian earned after joining the group was basically all sent to the elders in the mountain village, except for what was snatched away by Jin Caihu.
Almost never spent a penny more on myself.
Even the clothes were given to her by Zhou Yuanjun on the pretext of buying too much.
"Zhenxian, have a good sleep."
Li Zhongnan put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
In order to prevent something from happening to Long Ziyun's side two days ago, Li Zhongnan specifically told her that he was going on a business trip.
Zhou Peiru did not explain that she was the one who called.
In order to prevent Zhou Zhenxian from waking up, Li Zhongnan went to the toilet to answer the phone.
"Hello? What's wrong, Pei Ru?"
"I miss you, why can't I give you a call?"
Zhou Peiru's voice is so delicate that just listening to it makes people feel as if their bones are about to become soft.
"Come on, you had to be lucky last time, otherwise something would have happened."
Li Zhongnan said.
"Whatever happens, even if I am really caught, I will definitely choose to follow you when the time comes."
Hearing this, Li Zhongnan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
He had no intention of really being responsible for Zhou Peiru.
This kind of thing can't happen.
"I would rather demolish ten temples than break up one marriage. I can't do such a thing."
Zhou Peiru rolled her eyes after hearing this.
"Come on, how's the situation over there?"
Li Zhongnan was still pretending to be stupid at first.
"What's going on? Why didn't I know?"
"What else could happen? Have you dealt with Zhenxian's situation? She is indeed a hard-working woman, and I don't mind sharing happiness with her."
Zhou Peiru didn't know that Li Zhongnan had already given up on this idea.
