"Sister-in-law's illness can't be delayed any longer, right? It's better to send her to the hospital as soon as possible. "Dong Hao wanted to do his part.
"I have my own plans for her. I'll probably scrape together enough money in July to pay for her surgery. Do you think I don't have a plan?" Zhang Xuan raised his head and drank the wine in his glass. He pointed to his chest and said, "I have a scale here. Don't worry about me. If you have some spare money, go help Dayou. He's the one who's in trouble. "
"What's wrong with Dayou?" Dong Hao's heart tightened.
"Dayou's wife is waiting for death at home. I hate myself for not being able to help." Zhang Xuan clinked his glass with Li He again.
From the beginning to the end, Li He listened to them without saying a word.
Dong Hao asked, "What illness?"
"Lung disease. It can be treated, but there's no money. There's nothing valuable at home. We helped to scrape together a hundred yuan at the beginning, but it's not of much use. In the end, we had to use a tractor to bring him home. We even prepared the coffin." Zhang Xuan was obviously very sad.
"Why didn't he tell me?" Dong Hao's heart ached and tears were about to come out.
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "How to contact you? He knows you have two children and thinks you're farming at home. It's not like you're doing much better than him. He definitely won't look for you."
Dong Hao said, "I'll send him money later."
"You really have money?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
"Of course I do. I can afford a thousand or eight hundred yuan." Dong Hao patted his chest and said, "I promise."
"Don't make things difficult for yourself." Zhang Xuan reminded, "It's not easy for you to earn some money. Nowadays, the bosses are so arrogant because they have some money. Just like those in our town, even the police don't take them seriously. You must have suffered a lot."
"Our boss is very benevolent." Dong Hao glanced at Li He.
"Yes." Qi Hua said, "Our boss is very good."
"Let's drink." Li He raised his glass and finished it. Then he asked Zhang Xuan, "Do you all produce shoes here?"
Zhang Xuan said, "There are many. You should have seen the trucks on the road when you came, right? They were all carrying shoes, all heading to the port. All of them were sold overseas. Some of my relatives and friends work in shoe factories, and some of them have their own shoe factories. They earn so much money that I want to go into business. "
"That's not necessarily a bad idea," Li He suddenly said.
"Brother, don't joke like this." Zhang Xuan laughed, "I'm just thinking about it. I'm not cut out to do business. Many people don't do something because they like it. It's just that they don't know what else they can do … "
"Why do you have to be so philosophical? Actually, if you wish to do business, there are some connections here. "Seeing that Li He was willing to help him, Dong Hao was willing to encourage him as well.
"I'm just saying, don't take it seriously. Even if there's a way, I won't go." Zhang Xuan tugged on his collar sternly. "I have to live up to this skin of mine. If I were to take it off casually, I would be regarded as a deserter on the battlefield, and I would surely be executed."
"Brother, let me propose a toast to you." Li He felt a kind of respect from the bottom of his heart.
"Come, bro, I've fried these peanuts with oil. Try it." Zhang Xuan pushed the plate forward.
Li He said, "I've already eaten a lot. Tea oil, it's pretty good."
Zhang Xuan said, "There's nothing good in this small place, but there's a lot of tea oil at home. When I leave, I'll bring a pot for each of you."
"Thank you." Li He didn't stand on ceremony.
"I'll definitely send money to Dayou, but you have to wait until July. Sister-in-law can't delay it. How about this, I'll lend you some first, and you can pay me back in July." Dong Hao was still worried.
"You really want to help me?" Zhang Xuan asked.
Dong Hao said, "Of course."
Zhang Xuan pointed to the girl who was eating at the door and said, "Your eldest niece, I just had the ability to support her until she graduated from junior high school. She's already 17 now, and she's helping me at home. Not only is she busy, but she also has to take care of her mother. Although she doesn't speak much, nor does she complain, I understand that this girl is ambitious and wants to go out and see the world, even if she has to work in a factory in town.
Although I don't have much ability, Old Dong has one thing. We're both in the capital, and we've seen the world in front of the leaders. How can I let her work as a female worker?
I can't ruin her just to earn some money to support the family. The factory is full of people. "
Dong Hao glanced at the girl, then said, "I'm listening. Go on."
Zhang Xuan suppressed his anger, drank the wine in his cup, and said, "I'll just say it casually. Listen, I want you to bring her out to see the world. Just for a year, let her see what the outside world is like, so that she doesn't have to worry about it for the rest of her life. It doesn't matter if she earns money or not, as long as she can broaden her horizons and get three meals a day.
We also have people going out, but I don't trust others. Old Dong, I only trust you, and I trust in our ten years of brotherhood. "
"That's not a problem." Dong Hao didn't look at Li He, but answered without hesitation. He believed that he could arrange this matter well.
Zhang Xuan looked at Dong Hao and said, "The prerequisite is that you can't make things difficult for her. I'm asking this shamelessly, so you can't make things difficult for yourself just because of me. Otherwise, we can't be considered brothers."
"Brother, you're underestimating Old Dong. He's been out there for so many years, after all. It's easy for him to arrange a little girl. It's not difficult at all," Li He said.
Dong Hao looked at Li He gratefully.
"Old Dong, arrange for a salesperson. She can even be a waiter in a restaurant. Just one thing, she can't be a female worker." Zhang Xuan still insisted, "She has to learn to interact with people and see different kinds of people."
"If you say that again, we really can't be brothers anymore." Dong Hao pretended to be angry.
"Brother Zhang, believe in Brother Dong. If not for the boss's high regard for him, do you think the boss would let him drive such a good car out to play? He can't. "Qi Hua spoke for the first time.
This time, he was the driver, so he didn't drink with them.
Zhang Xuan looked at the car at the entrance, raised his cup and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's drink."
Li He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know about the port company in our city?"
Zhang Xuan said, "Not only do I know about it, I've also been to a big state-owned enterprise."
Li He said, "This is what I'm thinking. Since you can't bear to let your child go far, we can arrange for her to stay in Quanzhou. We happen to have some connections in the port company, so it shouldn't be a problem to arrange for my niece to go there."
This was a joint venture invested by Shen Daoru's Yuanda Group.
"She can go there?" Zhang Xuan was doubtful.
"Of course not, you don't have to worry." Dong Hao naturally trusted Li He.
