Chapter 277 Everything is lost
"Sorry, did I disturb you just now?"
Liang Yu walked in awkwardly, carrying a jar full of eggs.
His mother had been bedridden due to illness, and the neighbors had always taken good care of them. Things like this often happened.
But this time it's different.
Liang Yu glanced at Song Qianyi discreetly, afraid that she would see dislike on her face, but fortunately, Song Qianyi's face showed no other expression besides fatigue.
"No."
After being rescued from the river, she had lost all her belongings, but that's for the best, as she's safe for now.
Otherwise, if Ji Jingshen and the others hadn't come looking for her yet, and Cheng Linhao had found her first, she would have been in real trouble.
She tried to borrow Liang Yu's phone to make a call, but there was no signal at all. This place was too remote, completely cut off from the outside world.
Liang Yu bought that cell phone because his mother was sick and he needed to contact the hospital, but it wasn't very good.
Song Qianyi sighed helplessly and put her legs out in the sun to bask in the sunlight.
This is the seventh day since she arrived here, and there has been no news from outside. She has no idea how Ji Jingshen is doing.
"Is Xiao Song homesick again? You can go back once you're healed."
When Liang's mother came out of the house, her face was pale, and she looked very ill. Even so, Liang Yu never thought of giving up and took good care of her. Moreover, in order to save enough money for his mother's medical expenses, he worked several jobs every day.
She once heard noises in the yard at night and thought a thief had broken in. She looked closely through the window and found out that Liang Yu was busy until after 11 p.m. and then got up before 5 a.m. the next day to cook and go to work.
"Auntie, please slow down, let me help you sit down."
When she woke up and saw Liang's mother, she immediately greeted her as "Auntie," but the other woman didn't understand what that title meant, so she had no choice but to call her "Auntie."
Do as the locals do.
Song Qianyi tried to stand up with the help of crutches. Although she had multiple fractures, she believed that she was in much better physical condition than Liang's mother.
"Don't move, your aunt can manage on her own."
When she has free time, she likes to come outside to bask in the sun and help her son with whatever she can. She knows her own body very well.
She can't do heavy work anymore. She used to be able to help with cooking, but now she even has trouble walking. I don't know when she'll die from this illness.
She originally didn't plan to treat the illness, but Xiaoyu insisted on it.
Song Qianyi looked at her sighing and didn't know how to comfort her, after all, she was already in a precarious situation herself.
"Xiao Song, you're not an ordinary person, are you?"
Song Qianyi, who was enjoying the sunshine, narrowed her eyes upon hearing her words, and became wary.
She never revealed her identity.
Seemingly sensing her nervousness, Liang's mother said gently, "Although I am not very knowledgeable, I can tell that you are not an ordinary person. Your temperament is not something that a family like ours can cultivate."
He's obviously from a wealthy family.
Song Qianyi looked Liang's mother up and down, and only after confirming that she meant no harm did she speak, "What do you want to say?"
"Xiaoyu is a very well-behaved child. If you have the chance, could you please help him out, considering how you saved his life this time?"
Let him not be trapped in this mountain for the rest of his life.
Song Qianyi understood the unspoken meaning in her words, and her feelings were complicated. Suddenly, she thought of her daughter.
If she grows up, she will definitely be a lovely and beautiful girl.
"Don't worry, I won't forget."
After receiving her promise, Liang's mother was visibly relieved, and even her smile became more frequent.
"If you really want to leave, you can only go to a town a few kilometers away from here, where you can find cell phones and transportation."
Song Qianyi raised an eyebrow, but didn't react much to her words. She had already known about this news a couple of days ago, but had been trying to figure out how to get to the town.
To her shock, Liang Yu returned this time with a donkey cart.
"Mom, the village chief and his family are leaving for a few days, so they left their car at our house and asked us to take care of it for a few days."
When he was young, he often worked at the village chief's house to help with these kinds of things, so now the village chief and the others hand over the donkey cart to him every time they go out.
Song Qianyi looked at the car at the door, her eyes flashing with intense light.
This was the first time he had seen a car since he arrived here. Although it was just a minivan, it represented a huge hope for her.
After all, she hadn't seen anyone leave the village in all the days she'd been here, and she assumed these people lived off the land and wouldn't go to the city to buy things.
After dinner, Song Qianyi called out to Liang Yu, who was about to leave after helping her change her dressing.
"Could you take me to town tomorrow? My wound has almost healed, and I should go back."
Liang Yu was taken aback for a moment, then stammered, "But...but if you go back, you'll need to buy a train ticket, right? Do you have the money?"
One sentence completely stunned Song Qianyi: Very well, she has no money.
"Could you...could you lend me some? I'll definitely pay you back double when I get back."
Her expression was somewhat awkward. She knew that Liang Yu probably didn't have much money either, and she had already prepared to go back and postpone her trip. However, she didn't expect that Liang Yu would leave with just a "okay" and then leave.
That night, thinking about how he would be back soon, Song Qianyi was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She got up to go outside to look at the stars, but as soon as she reached the door, she heard conversations from the next house.
"Mom, I promised to take her to town tomorrow and lend her money for a train ticket, but that means we won't have enough money for your doctor's visit and medicine."
The two people in the room were talking very softly, as if they were deliberately lowering their voices so as not to disturb Song Qianyi.
“I told you long ago that it doesn’t matter whether I get treatment or not, but you wouldn’t listen and you’ve wasted so much money.”
If she hadn't been wasting so much time on him, her son would have been married long ago. How could it have dragged on until now?
"After I send her away, I'll go to the nearby villages and find a few more jobs to earn the money back."
Song Qianyi was filled with mixed feelings. She hadn't expected that just a train ticket would cost them all their savings. The conversation next door had gradually faded away, but she couldn't sleep at all. She tossed and turned in bed, feeling upset about what she had just heard.
When she gets back, she must make it up to them properly. Then, she should take Liang's mother to a big hospital first.
