"Uncle, I can't repay your kindness in this lifetime. I don't have the ability to do so." The old lady patted Mu Yin's back and rubbed her red and swollen eyes. "I'll let the child remember you and let him repay your kindness in the future."
Not only did he travel thousands of miles abroad to help her arrange the funeral for her son and daughter-in-law, but he also sent his grandson to her from afar. He even brought the couple's savings over.
The old lady was not educated, but she was not stupid. She understood what Li He said clearly. Since he had the passbook and the secret, he could withdraw the money. Since he did not hide it, it was a kindness that was worth remembering.
This was not a thousand or two thousand, not ten or twenty thousand, but a million!
How many people would not be tempted by money?
"Auntie, this is not a small amount for me. Keep the passbook tight and don't tell anyone the password. Only I know it." Li He had to give her a kind reminder. Even if the money was lost, he could compensate her. However, it was not necessary for something to happen out of nowhere and upset the old lady. It was better to be careful.
The old lady said, "I'm old, but I'm not a fool. Don't worry."
"This is my home phone number. In the future, if you have any problems, remember to call me. If you can't get through to this number, call another one. There must be one that can get through." Li He handed over a small book. "If you can't read and don't know how to call, you can find someone else. Also, there's the problem of the child's education. The rural area is poor. How about I suggest you move to the city? "
"I can send my son to college, so I can't treat my grandson badly," the old lady said resolutely. "Even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I have to send him to college."
Li He got up and took out a box from his bag. He handed it to the old lady and said, "This is the jewelry left by his mother. She wanted to give it to his grandmother, but now she's gone. I don't know if what she said still counts. I think I should ask for your opinion. You can keep it and handle it yourself."
Although Yang Ling was a thrifty person, she could not resist Mu Yan's generosity. After making a fortune, Mu Yan bought a lot of gold, silver, and diamonds. Li He estimated that the jewelry in the box was worth more than a hundred thousand.
"Then give it to his grandmother." The old lady did not open the box. "Uncle, I have to trouble you with something. Can you accompany me to withdraw a hundred thousand? We're sorry Yang Ling's family.
Her grandmother hasn't gotten up for a week. What do you think? "
"Auntie, there's no hurry to withdraw the money. I'll transfer it to you later." The old lady's words made Li He feel difficult to understand, but he still understood the meaning of the words. The old lady wanted to use money to make up for the guilt in her heart. She lost her son and the Yang Family lost their daughter, but the Mu Family was in the wrong. He opened the zipper of the bag again and counted ten stacks of money from it. "Auntie, you can use it first. You can return it to me later."
The old lady just hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. She took a piece of clothing, put her wallet in it, and stuffed it under the quilt. Then she pulled Mu Yin out of the door.
When Yang Gaixin entered the door, Li He smiled at him and went out of the room. He knew that the in-laws must have something to talk about.
He stood at the door and chatted with Qi Hua. He heard a few words inside, and the door opened. Yang Gaixin came out with a bag of clothes and left with his head down.
"It's not easy." The old lady looked at Yang Gaixin's back and said, "His eldest brother has kidney disease. He only had surgery a few years ago. He even borrowed 50,000 yuan from Little Yin's mother. He said he was working outside, but he couldn't do any heavy work and couldn't earn much money.
Now that he's gone, he doesn't expect to return it. "
At noon, the women of the Mu Family cooked a good meal. The men of the Mu Family all came to drink with them. Li He drank so much that he almost couldn't get off the table.
Early the next morning, Qi Hua found an unlicensed driver from the town to take Li He and the old lady to town. He first opened an account for the old lady, and then transferred the money from Yang Ling's account.
After the old lady learned to enter the password, press her fingerprint, and stamp her private seal, the first thing she did was to withdraw 100,000 yuan. However, she was worried that she couldn't withdraw so much money at once.
Li He smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not in a hurry. You don't have to worry either. I don't have this passbook, so you can't transfer it to me. You should keep it first. You can slowly return it to me later."
"How can I do that!" The old lady was so anxious that she stomped her feet. This way, she would owe him even more!
"Auntie, let me put it this way. In the future, as long as I have time, I'll come, okay? You'll have plenty of opportunities for me. " Li He patted Mu Yin's head. "Follow Grandma and go to school. Make progress every day. You have to be as successful as your father, okay?"
"Uncle, are you leaving?" Mu Yin asked in a childish voice. After spending so much time with Li He, he had formed a certain dependence on him.
Li He squatted down and said seriously, "Uncle is leaving, but you're not allowed to cry. You're a man. Don't you know that if you cry again, Uncle won't like you anymore?"
Mu Yin lowered his head and counted with his fingers, not saying a word.
The old lady said, "Uncle, then come often in the future when you have time."
"Okay." Li He smiled and waved his hand, then got into the car.
It was already afternoon when they arrived at Baoqing Railway Station. Li He took out a stack of money and stuffed it into Mu Lei's hand. "Brother, take it. Don't stand on ceremony with me."
"What kind of person do you think I am! This is! " It would be a lie if Mu Lei was not tempted by money. "You're working for our family. If I can still take your money, then I'm nothing!"
"Brother, listen to me." Li He pressed his shoulder and said, "You don't understand my relationship with Old Mu. I've always treated him as my biological brother. He only has one child now, and I have the duty and responsibility to take care of him. But now that we're so far away, even if anything happens, I can't take care of him in time. I'll have to rely on you in the future."
Mu Lei said, "Isn't it my duty to do all this?"
Li He smiled and said, "But what's free now?
Brother, it's not that I look down on you, but in terms of financial conditions, I'm still better than you. Take this money, and if anything happens in the future, please help me out. If anything happens, you can call me immediately. My number is on the piece of paper I gave you. It's at home and at the office. You can call either one. "
Mu Lei still wanted to decline, but Li He and the others had already entered the station. He could only hold the stack of money and stare at their backs in a daze.
Li He and the others spent the night in Tan Zhou, mainly to have a drink with Liu Hai, who worked here.
"You mean your tall colleague with glasses?" Liu Hai was also shocked after hearing about Mu Yan.
