Chapter 48 I Don’t Want to Be a Waste Person
Cui Changjia did what he said and sealed the gap with stainless steel. She then paid the balance, not a penny less.
In the evening, Cui Changjia brought the snacks back home. Jiang Hongying saw that she gave all the snacks to Xiaobao and said, "Don't give them all to him, eat some yourself too."
In the past, such snacks were almost always available at home. Some of them were expired and the children would not eat them.
Nowadays, with the situation at home, I have to plan my spending on food, let alone snacks.
Cui Changjia said, "It's not that I don't want to eat it, it's that I don't like to eat it."
"Don't you like sweet things?"
That was in the past. The days that followed were filled with pain. Cui Changjia didn't even want to eat sweet things.
Jiang Hongying turned around and went into the house, took out a cloth bag and carried out a big bag. She handed the cloth bag to Cui Changjia first.
"What?" Cui Changjia took it, it felt heavy in his hand, and when he opened it, he saw four stacks of money!
Cui Changjia was surprised, "Mom, where did you get the money?"
Jiang Hongying sat down. She felt distressed seeing Cui Changjia working hard for the family every day. She suggested selling the gold bar many times, but Changjia always said he had money.
She told Cui Wenquan about this, and Cui Wenquan asked her to sell it directly and give the money to Cui Changjia.
"I sold the gold bars. Your brother is spending money like water. You still have to take care of the factory. How can you go anywhere without money?" Jiang Hongying said as she put the bag on the table. "I bought you a set of clothes. Try the size to see if it fits. If not, go and exchange it."
As soon as Cui Changjia glanced at the bag, she knew it was the brand she used to buy. Even summer clothes sometimes cost several hundred yuan a piece, and winter clothes were even more expensive, starting at thousands of yuan.
Cui Changjia felt pain in his flesh, "Mom, this brand of clothes is very expensive, I have clothes to wear, let's return it."
Jiang Hongying bought a whole outfit, including an inner sweater, a thick cashmere jacket, pants, and a pair of black thick-heeled leather shoes, the kind that didn't make her feet tired at all.
All of these would cost at least three thousand. If it was before, it would be fine, but now their family needs money for everything!
"These are on sale, they don't cost much. We can wear whatever we want at home, but you're out all day, and if you don't dress well, people will look down on you. Go try it on and let mom see if it looks good on you."
Jiang Hongying has worked hard with Cui Wenquan all the way, so she naturally knows how people outside view people.
Jiang Hongying reached out to push Cui Changjia. Cui Changjia saw her right hand. The finger that originally wore the ring was empty, leaving only a blank mark.
"Mom, where's your ring?"
Jiang Hongying wears an old-fashioned gold ring all year round that is inconsistent with her status. It was bought for her by Cui Wenquan with his newly earned money. It is very meaningful to her. Except for special occasions when she needs to wear a set of jewelry, Jiang Hongying usually does not take it off.
Jiang Hongying shrank her hand unnaturally, "It's not comfortable to wear it all day while working, so I took it off."
Cui Changjia's nose was a little sour, "Mom, did you sell your ring along with the gold bars?"
Jiang Hongying pushed Cui Changjia to try on clothes, "Oh, when we have more money, we'll buy one for mom."
Yes, she did sell the ring on her hand. Although the money from the sale was just enough to buy two pieces of clothes for her daughter, she didn't feel bad at all because her eldest daughter deserved it!
Cui Changjia suppressed her sadness and went to change her clothes. When she opened the bag, she found that her mother not only bought her clothes, but also a set of cosmetics.
Looking at the bag of expensive things, Cui Changjia took a deep breath and thought, just hold on a little longer, such a day won't be long.
After her rebirth, Cui Changjia's personality and temper have become much sharper, and her temperament has also become sharper. She is very suitable for wearing coats. Wearing a black cashmere long coat on her body, coupled with thick-heeled leather shoes, she looks very aura! Cui Changjia changed her clothes and came out. Jiang Hongying nodded, "It looks good. I see that you have a dark gray coat, which is thinner. You can wear that one now. It will be just right to wear this one in two days when it gets cold."
Cui Changjia tugged at the clothes on her body and said with a smile, "Mom, you really know how to buy things. The size is just right and I think it looks good too."
Jiang Hongying was very satisfied. "You are my daughter, how could I not know what size clothes you wear? Okay, pack up and go to bed."
"It's only a little time now, go to bed. I'll change my clothes and then go to the hospital to chat with dad. You and Xiaobao should go to bed early."
"What are you looking at him for?" Jiang Hongying stopped her from going. "He and your elder brother are both fine. Go to sleep and have a rest."
Cui Changjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's only eight o'clock. I can't sleep either."
"If you can't sleep, just play for a while."
"I guess Dad is looking forward to my going, too."
"Then you must come back to bed before ten o'clock."
Looking at his mother's concerned face, Cui Changjia raised his hand and promised, "I promise, I will be back before ten o'clock."
On the way to the hospital, Cui Changjia was very happy. It felt so good to be loved by her mother!
Cui Wenquan is a little stronger than when he was discharged from the ICU. He can walk back and forth in the corridor twice by himself. His appetite has increased, but he still can't speak clearly. He drools when he opens his mouth. Now he receives traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment every day. Even though his head is full of needles, he never makes a sound or complains about the pain.
Everyone knows that Cui Wenquan actively cooperates with treatment and works hard to exercise in order to get better as soon as possible.
These days, Cui Changjia would go to the hospital every night to accompany Cui Wenquan for a while, and Cui Wenquan also looked forward to her going, although most of the time, he just listened and did not express any opinions.
Cui Xiuyuan's condition improved a lot, so when Cui Changjia came, he followed him to Cui Wenquan's ward.
When leaving Cui Wenquan's ward, Cui Xiuyuan asked Cui Changjia for his cell phone.
Previously, Cui Changjia took away Cui Xiuyuan's cell phone in order to avoid putting too much pressure on him. Now that Cui Xiuyuan is much better, he doesn't want to put all the pressure on Cui Changjia.
"I'll give you the phone and you can use a different card."
"If I change my card, what's the point of having a phone?" Cui Xiuyuan felt sorry for his sister. "There will be a lot of calls asking for money."
How could Cui Changjia tell Cui Xiuyuan the truth? He just said, "It's okay, brother. I originally wanted to find a middleman to coordinate for us, and we would pay the interest normally, but I haven't found a suitable person in the past two days. If someone is willing to help us, then we don't have to worry about debt collection, what do you think?"
Cui Changjia had been thinking about this matter. He had to give an explanation to the creditor. Not responding was not the Cui family's attitude. Moreover, if they all agreed, and someone else was behind the scenes, they would be embarrassed to continue to collect debts or cause trouble.
Cui Xiuyuan walked step by step with a cane, pondered for a long time, and said, "No one is willing to come forward at this time, why don't we talk to them ourselves first, and if we can't solve it, we will go and visit them again."
"You should take good care of your health."
"Jia Jia," Cui Xiuyuan interrupted Cui Changjia and said in a serious tone, "I don't want to be a useless person." He didn't want to, and couldn't, put all the pressure on his sister.
