“My younger brother has leukemia and urgently needs money for surgery. A few days ago, my mother broke her leg again and was hospitalized. Now is the time when my family is short of money. There is no way, my father found a place to borrow money from a small advertisement on the side of the road, and borrowed 180,000 yuan with an IOU. Because he was in a hurry to use the money, he didn’t read the contract carefully, and he didn’t know it was usury.”
Li Bingxin said biting his lips, his brows and eyes were a little more obscure.
“Let’s not talk about 870,000, even 180,000, it’s very difficult for us to pay it back now. My dad was chased by debt collectors every day and couldn’t help it, so he ran away. This group of usurers can only come to pester me.”
Ouyang Duan put the IOU in his pocket: “I accept this IOU, and pay it off within thirty years without interest.”
Li Bingxin looked at him in a daze: “Sir, why are you helping me like this?”
“Do you need a reason to help others?”
Li Bingxin raised her lips slightly and smiled: “I don’t know the name of my benefactor yet.”
“My name is Ouyang Duan.”
“It’s convenient… is it convenient to leave a phone number for me?”
Ouyang Duan took out his mobile phone: “tell me your number.”
Li Bingxin reported the number quickly, and Ouyang Duan called her after writing it down.
“I know a good orthopedic specialist, you can talk to me if you need it.”
“Really? I need it, can you introduce it to me?”
Seeing her eagerness, Ouyang Duan knew that this girl was a filial daughter.
He nodded and made an appointment to go to the hospital with her the next day.
Li Bingxin is really grateful to see that Ouyang Duan introduced to himself the most authoritative orthopedic expert in his mother’s hospital.
It was also during that time that he and Li Bingxin had a deeper relationship.
They exchanged numbers with each other and became friends.
After he returned to the unit after his vacation, the two also started communicating.
A year passed in a blink of an eye, and she graduated.
He was working that afternoon when the phone on his desk rang, and a call came from the guard room saying that someone was looking for him at the door.
He wondered that almost no one would look for him these years.
He asked, “What’s the name of the person looking for me?”
The guard replied, “It’s called Li Bingxin.”
Hearing this name, Ouyang Duan was stunned subconsciously.
Last night she sent herself a text message saying: “I am about to start a new journey in life, don’t you congratulate me?”
It was already twelve o’clock when he saw it. In order not to affect her rest, he didn’t reply.
I woke up this morning and forgot about it, I didn’t expect her to come here.
“I’ll go down now,” he hung up the phone, and went downstairs to the gate.
She was wearing a long polka-dot dress, and she hadn’t seen her for a year. Her hair had grown longer, and she was much thinner than a year ago.
