C40 A Small Run-down Infirmary (1/2)
”Not yet, brother Elder Brother Yifann is teaching me how to do my homework,” Wang Xiaozhi wrote with his head lowered, his speed not very fast.
”Then slowly write it!” Wang Cuifen laughed, ”Yifan, thank you.”
Lee Yifann shook his head, ”Auntie, there's no need to be so polite. Xiaozhi was smart, although he was missing a few years of lessons, he only needed a little bit to understand it. He's going to take his mid-term exam soon, so he reckons that he has missed too many classes, so his first exam results might not be too good. ”
”I'm fine!” I know, Director Chen told me! ” Wang Cuifen didn't blame Wang Xiaozhi. When she went to pick Wang Xiaozhi up from school today, Chen Hua had found her and explained Wang Xiaozhi's situation.
Lee Yifann suddenly understood, since that was the case, there was no need for him to advise him, ”Director Chen has already said, that would be for the best.”
”You can teach Child how to do homework, I'll go cook!” Wang Cuifen carried the vegetable basket and headed towards the kitchen.
”Auntie, wait a moment!” Lee Yifann called out to her.
Wang Cuifen was startled, ”Yifan, what happened?”
Lee Yifann walked over from the table, came in front of her, and pointed at the house, ”Aunty, when Xiaozhi was doing his homework, I noticed that the light in the house was too dim, it's not good for his eyes.”
”Ah?” You're talking about this, ”Wang Cuifen placed the basket on the ground and pulled him to the door. She sighed and said:” Yifan, it's not like you don't know, our family has always been in a bad condition. With great difficulty, Child recovered, but all the money in the house was spent. This house was built while the Child's father was still alive. He left early, leaving us two to live in extreme pain. ”
”Auntie, didn't you already find a job?” Lee Yifann remembered that she had gone out to find a job these past few days. In these few days, he should have already found one, right?
”I just found them. They work for restaurants at the farmers market, so their wages aren't that high. At a rate of three thousand a month, they will have to wait until next month at least.” Wang Cuifen sighed lightly and explained, ”I plan to wait until Child gets used to the road which leads to school these few days, and let him go to school by himself every day. I concentrated on my work. As for this house … I'm afraid we really can't fix it for now. ”
Actually, Wang Cuifen also wanted to fix up the family, but she didn't have the money.
Furthermore, with only that little bit of salary, it would be very difficult for them to maintain their family. They would not have any extra money to spend on building a house.
”How about this,” Lee Yifann thought for a moment, then said: ”Aunty, how about this, I have some money, you …”
”I can't!” How can that be, you helped Child so much last time, yet you can't repay even after borrowing 5,000 yuan, how can I ask you for money again! ” Wang Cuifen immediately shook her head and rejected without even thinking. She was clear about Lee Yifann's intentions, but she was clear that she could not do that.
”It doesn't matter, since it's for Xiaozhi's own good. I just want to fix the house, adjust the windows so that the light in the room is better, so that Xiaozhi doesn't have to turn on the lights when doing homework, and can properly protect his eyes,” Lee Yifann sincerely said. Although he did not have much money on him, but he could take out tens of thousands of dollars to renovate the house inside and outside.
”No!” You can't say anything! ” Wang Cuifen still insisted on shaking her head, ”Yifan, I understand your good intentions, but Auntie, I can't casually spend your money. Furthermore, in order to build a house, one not only had to move the house, but they also had to hire people. ”You're just a worker, and it hasn't even been a month, how can you have that much money?”
Lee Yifann was just about to say that he could take out thirty to forty thousand, but thinking about it, he couldn't explain the source of the money clearly, so he held it in.
Wang Cuifen patted his shoulder, ”Work well, and don't think about anything else. I'll go cook. Look at Child, make him sit properly when he's doing homework. Don't be shortsighted. ”
”Alright!” Lee Yifann smiled and nodded, the expression in his eyes was complex.
