3 At 9 pm on Friday, there are still people coming and going in the supermarket.
Cen Hui stood in front of the scale for a night and didn't rest. Her calf was sore and her mouth was dry and hot. She finally wanted to drink water. The phone rang. It was her man Luo Haisheng's phone call.
Luo Haisheng is running a cement mixer truck at the construction site. He has been working hard recently and has worked overtime every day. How could he call her at this point? Did something happen? Cen Hui touched it up in panic. When she heard the voice that it was indeed not her husband, her legs suddenly became weak.
The caller was Luo Haisheng's co-worker, who said that Luo Haisheng helped someone carry things, and fell from the building with one foot. Now he was unconscious, so he asked her to come to the hospital quickly.
Cen Hui's heartbeat instantly stopped, she trembled and hung up the phone. She didn't bother to ask for leave from her leader, and ran out like crazy.
When she arrived at the hospital, Luo Haisheng had been sent to ICU, and there were three men standing outside the door. One of them was dressed in decent clothes and looked gloomy and obviously the construction site cadres. The remaining two were old-fashioned and their skin was rough and dark. At first glance, they were Luo Haisheng's co-workers.
The worker who called Cen Hui saw her, immediately handed Luo Haisheng's cell phone and said sympathetically: Sister-in-law, Brother Luo just went in. I am Xiao Zhang, we have seen him before.
Cen Hui glanced at him blankly, remembering that she did see this young man when she gave overtime Lu Haisheng mung bean soup. Her heart was still beating fast, and her ears were also buzzing. It was almost impossible for her to fall down with the willpower she squeezed out.
She looked at the phone with blood stained on the screen, at the ICU with the locked door, and at the Xiao Zhang who told her about the incident, her heart was trembling with coldness.
Her own father died on the construction site, so she always wanted to let Luo Haisheng change his life. But he said that the construction site has a high income, and he does not have to go to high-rise buildings when he turns cement mixers, so it is very safe.
didn't expect that he would suffer this unintentional disaster just by doing a kind heart. Although she didn't understand
ICU, she also heard from others in the elevator she came to, which is where people with severe and terminal illnesses go in. Luo Haisheng inside must be fighting against , King of Hell, . When she thought of this, she endured the tears all the way out, and the low and shrill crying continued in the hospital corridor in the middle of the night. The three men next to
said some comforting words one after another, and found that the more they said that she cried, the more they didn't know what to do, so they sighed and hid nearby to smoke.
Cen Hui didn't remember how long she had cried. She cried until the door of the ICU opened. She went up to meet her. After a doctor asked about the identity of the family, he said: The patient is not conscious at present. If he could survive forty-eight hours, there should be no problem.
What a difficult for forty-eight hours. The last time Cen Hui was so desperate was when her mother remarried. She lost her father at the age of six, and her family lost her pillar. Her orphan and widowed mother lived a miserable life. Three years later, her mother remarried and she had no family.
Cen Hui rarely recalls the days when she stuttered at the relative's house. She only knows that children without a family are not even as good as stray dogs. At least a dog doesn't look at the face of a person. If there is a bone, she can howl happily, but she has to endure spiritual loneliness over and over again.
She longed for a home so that she later met Luo Haisheng and fell into it regardless of the situation. The two got married in less than three months after they met.
Luo Haisheng is ten years older than her and is an older bachelor. When the two were together, colleagues around her advised her not to be deceived by the old man. She found it funny. Who can a man as honest as him cheat?
When they first met, she had just finished unloading the goods and squatted on the curb with a bunch of men and ate the lunch box. Her food is even more ferocious than men, which caused several migrant workers to whisper, saying that women like her are really suitable to move bricks.
is only Luo Haisheng, and there is no joking in his eyes, but a little pity is mixed with. Her eyes met, her heart was itchy and hot.
In order to make a living, she has traveled to many places and met many people at a young age, including men who despise her or want to take advantage of her. The look of pure pity like this, the first time she got it, it seemed like an unreal dream.
At that moment, she suddenly thought of her father who died early. She no longer remembers his specific appearance, but she will never forget that he came back from work during the Chinese New Year and put his cold palm into the quilt to scratch her feet, and when she was almost impatient, she quietly took out a handful of chocolate. The thick and strong sweetness of
is her clearest impression of fatherly love. In the years that followed, even if she had eaten the first meal but not the next meal, she would at least reward herself with a piece of chocolate every month.
Luo Haisheng was the first man to give her chocolate besides her father.
He gave chocolate not to confess, but just because she liked to eat it. He never buys gorgeous and exquisite whole boxes of packaging, but only buys one piece of stuffed pieces, because it is cost-effective.
She buried those thumb-sized chocolates under the pillow and took one piece every day. When the heavy sweetness slowly melted in her mouth, she truly felt that she was no longer a homeless person.
However, now, her home is life and death are unknown.

Luo Haisheng survived forty-eight hours!
Cen Hui was too worried about medical expenses to walk. Luo Haisheng went into the ICU for two days and spent the money she saved for nearly a year, and he had to stay in it for at least ten days before he could transfer to the general ward.
Where can she get the fee for these ten days?
Originally, this money should have been paid by the construction site, but the construction site leader showed his face on the day of the accident and paid 5,000 yuan, and then he completely hid without seeing anyone. The accounting of the construction site of
told Cen Hui that Luo Haisheng was not recruited by them. The cement truck master they recruited was someone else, and he was also Luo Haisheng's friend. The other party couldn't do anything, so he privately asked Luo Haisheng to take the class and his salary was paid to Luo Haisheng personally. In other words, without a work contract and salary transfer, the construction site does not recognize Luo Haisheng as their employee at all, and does not want to be responsible for his accidental injury.
Cen Hui ran to the construction site several times in the scorching sun but couldn't get the explanation, and she fell into great despair.
Luo Haisheng has been a bachelor for more than ten years and actually saved more than 300,000 yuan on hand. However, his mother was sick, his only brother got married early and had two children, and he couldn't protect himself, so he had no money to fulfill his filial piety. He only paid all his mother's medical expenses and funeral expenses, so when he married Cen Hui, he became a poor old man who could not afford the bride price.
Although he couldn't afford the bride price, he was willing to spend all the remaining 70,000 yuan, bought Sanjin, held a wedding, and rented a clean and decent wedding house. Cen Hui felt his sincerity, but she didn't care about the bride price at all.
After marriage, the two became sweeter and sweeter. The couple worked together and had to drink the last sip of soup. They agreed that when they saved enough money to buy a small house, they would have a baby and make a family of three.
Unexpectedly, such an accident occurred just a year ago.
Cen Hui put the couple's salary cards together, with a total of less than 90,000 yuan, which is far from enough for subsequent treatment costs. She had to call Luo Haisheng's brother Luo Haihua.
Cen Hui has never had a good impression of this uncle. When she was dating Luo Haisheng, Luo Haihua's second baby was born. As the young uncle, Luo Haisheng immediately packed a red envelope of 3,000 yuan, and she bought many new clothes for babies.
It was their turn to get married. Luo Haihua actually only bought 800 yuan. Not only did he sit in the main seat with his wife and children with peace of mind, he also packed all the leftovers, tobacco and wine that could be seen at the banquet.
, a stingy brother like
, even though he came to the hospital for a visit when his younger brother entered the ICU, he did not express any statement. Is there any hope to borrow money from him? But if she doesn't look for him, who else can she find? She married far away, and her relatives from her hometown were separated by 108,000 miles away and had long since left contact.
Cen Hui held the mentality of being a living horse and begged Luo Haihua to care about his family affection. However, he almost thought about it like her, and even advised her even more coldly: Life and death are fate, why bother to throw money to the hospital for nothing.
This is what people say. Even if the person lying in the hospital is not his brother, but just the most ordinary relative, he shouldn't say that. Cen Hui was so angry that she cursed, and she was covered in tears after hanging up the phone.
She always felt that her life was miserable, but Luo Haisheng was also miserable, and she had such a cold brother.
Cen Hui began to ask her colleagues to borrow money. She took the initiative to write an IOU and borrowed everything she could. She gathered some of the money in the early stages of treatment. The ICU does not need family care, so she works three jobs during the day and night, and earns one more point.
Half a month later, Luo Haisheng was finally transferred to the general ward.
Hearing him call him "Xiaohui" in a clear consciousness, Cen Hui's tears immediately came down, his heart full of joy for a lifetime. He held his hand and refused to let go, fearing that if he held it tightly, it would affect the infusion.
He looked at her haggard face, his eyes full of pity, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch her cheek. Cen Hui was afraid that the infusion tube would recover, so she quickly pulled his hand down. His lips were stammering, his eyes were red, and he squeezed out a sentence for a long time: It was me who was in trouble, but you who suffered.
Cen Hui smiled with tears: Since you know that I have suffered, get better soon!
Seeing that he had chapped his lips, she consulted the doctor and applied his lips with a cotton swab dipped in water. Before the couple could say a few words of personal silence, the restaurant where they worked part-time called Cen Hui to go to work.
Wait for her to hang up the phone, Luo Haisheng frowned and asked: The supermarket is not well-made, why did you go to the restaurant? Tired restaurant work.
Cen Hui pursed her lips and didn't say anything. He quickly realized: Is it for me? Have you... worked a lot of jobs? So I lost weight like this in half a month?
His tone was a little annoyed, and he felt obviously heartache. Cen Hui's nose felt sore, and she felt that all the grievances and fatigue in the past half month were worth it.
She acted coquettishly and said half comforting: Since you know that I have worked hard, get better quickly. Be kind to me in the future. You will never bully me in this life!
Luo Haisheng's face became increasingly unfair. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Just as Cen Hui was about to leave, he finally couldn't help asking: Where is my brother? Don’t you try to borrow money from him?
As soon as he heard this, Cen Hui's anger immediately came up and blurted out: Don't mention it, I have announced that our two families have broken off diplomatic relations! What brother, I cried and begged him to borrow some medical expenses. He told me not to waste money to treat you. I have never seen such a person! From the time you had an accident to now, he has come to the hospital to take a look and he has not brought any , apple, !
She vented all of a sudden. Seeing her husband's face was extremely gloomy, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. How could she say these words in front of a wounded person who escaped from the gates of hell? It was too heartbroken.
3,
Cen Hui comforted her husband a few words and found that he was still immersed in his own world with a complicated expression. He was probably really disappointed by his brother's coldness.
She sighed and asked the nurses in the rounds to take care of him more. She rushed over to accompany the bed after the evening shift. As soon as he was about to leave, Luo Haisheng called her to stop going to work.
Cen Hui thought he wanted to accompany him, so she coaxed him: I will go for four hours and will be back soon.
Luo Haisheng decisively: Don't go, it won't take an hour, come and sit here for a rest, I have something to tell you,
He looked solemn, as if he was about to explain his last words, Cen Hui was nervous and dared not ignore him. However, everything she heard next was like a heavy hammer, which made her unable to recover for a long time.
Luo Haisheng said that she didn't need to do more part-time jobs because he had 200,000 yuan in Luo Haihua's hands. When their mother was sick, he actually only spent about 100,000 yuan.When he learned that he was planning to marry Cen Hui, the foreign girl, Luo Haihua sincerely advised him to leave some foundation for himself. After all, Cen Hui is so much younger than him and has no roots. He still doesn't know what he wants to do. If he coaxes his savings away, where will he cry?
Luo Haihua spoke sincerely, repeatedly emphasizing that he did not want his only brother to be deceived by a woman. Luo Haisheng trusted him, and what he said did happen to his colleagues, so he had to be alert. So he handed over 200,000 to his brother for safekeeping and married Cen Hui with the remaining 70,000.
Life after marriage was sweet. He gradually believed that Cen Hui would not abandon him and left, so he thought of returning to the 200,000. But I don’t know how to explain it. If Cen Hui thinks he is calculating her, wouldn’t it affect the relationship between husband and wife?
Later, when the couple discussed saving money to buy a house, he finally came up with a good idea and discussed with Luo Haihua: when they bought the house, Luo Haihua took out the 200,000 yuan, which was said to be the inheritance left by his parents to his younger son, specifically to sponsor him to buy a house.
didn't expect that before that day came, an accident came first. Unexpectedly, his biological brother mistook the 200,000 yuan and refused to save him.
In a critical moment, the most trusted relative gave up on him without hesitation for money, but the wife of a foreign girl who was once he was prepared to be plotted against, kept guarding him. This accident reshapes not only his body, but also his soul and cognition.
After saying all this, Luo Haisheng hardly dared to look at Cen Hui, and said in a low tone: I did something wrong first, I don’t ask you to forgive me. Whether you want to divorce or beat me or scold me, I deserve it. But don’t waste yourself anymore, quit all those little work, and have a good rest.
Cen Hui took a deep breath and asked coldly: That 200,000, what if Luo Haihua doesn’t admit it?
Luo Haisheng thought for a while and said: I had the old mobile phone in the second drawer of the bedside table. The information about me and him in it has not been deleted yet, so it can be proved.
Cen Hui suddenly stood up. He thought she was going to leave, so he subconsciously reached out to pull it. The infusion tube immediately recovered blood. She glared at him fiercely, and wanted to slap it with a palm, but when the force came, it softened, and she gently put his hand back to its original place.
Luo Haisheng's lips were stammering, and he didn't say anything else. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of footsteps gradually moving away, a tear fell on the pillowcase.
Cen Hui found Luo Haisheng's old mobile phone and looked through the past information one by one.
When the two were together, Luo Haihua said that the foreign girl was very sensible and told him not to be fooled. He immediately retorted that she was very good, kind and diligent, and she was definitely a good girl. She gave him a pair of gloves, and he had to send a special message to tell his brother solemnly to prove how good she was.
. She glanced at the conversation about the 200,000 yuan casually, thinking that she should be able to confront Luo Haihua, so she was too lazy to take a closer look. She was afraid that she would be even more disappointed with him when she watched it once more. If she could, she would rather delete this paragraph so that it never appeared in their lives.
The third day after marriage, he began to shake, regretting putting the 200,000 yuan with Luo Haihua, and felt that he should be honest with her. Luo Haihua said that people's hearts are separated from their belly, so let him observe again.
Later, as he said, he was no longer wary of her, and agreed with Luo Haihua to get back 200,000 when buying a house...
In the hospital, when Luo Haisheng told everything, Cen Hui had the idea of divorce. After reading all the information on her old phone, she witnessed the 200,000 that appeared countless times, which made her stomach turbulent 200,000, but her mood gradually calmed down.
There are 200,000 that embarrass her, and other numbers that make her throbbing.
For example, when Luo Haisheng took her to meet her parents for the first time, he secretly transferred 8,000 yuan to Luo Haihua in advance, asking him to pretend that it was the red envelope left by his mother to his daughter-in-law, and he, the eldest uncle, handed it over to his future sister-in-law. This is something Cen Hui never knew.
Looking back on the marriage over the past year, except for the 200,000 she had hidden privately, Luo Haisheng had never treated her badly in other matters.After paying her salary, she bought her a new phone without hesitation, and then used the old goods she eliminated. She yelled to save money to buy a house, but her chocolate would not be short of a day.
If the 200,000 formed a hurdle in Cen Hui's heart, to separate her from Luo Haisheng, then the warm time she kept recalling in her mind was like surging waves, gradually disintegrating the barrier between them.
She has been lonely for too long and finally experienced the warmth, but she really doesn't want to let go easily. So, she was willing to start over with him.
Cen Hui took out the momentum of a shrew and went to Luo Haihua's house to block the door. She soon demanded 200,000 yuan back. Of course, it is mainly because Luo Haisheng woke up and no longer blindly caring about his family affection. He will have to pay back the 200,000 sooner or later.
During the hospitalization period, Luo Haisheng's attending doctor learned about his condition and suggested applying for legal aid. After understanding the situation, the lawyer sent by the Human Resources Bureau stated that the construction site should be responsible. With the intervention of the judicial system, the construction site owner did not dare to evade anymore and took all the medical expenses. He also compensated for the loss of work and subsequent care expenses in accordance with the Labor Law .
A month later, Luo Haisheng was discharged from the hospital and his health basically recovered as before. He held Cen Hui's hand tightly, reluctant to let go of it. Only when the waves wash away the sand can he show his sincerity. How lucky he is. I only hope that I will never let down my good man for the rest of my life.
