Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 25 Let Me Be Well
A breeze blew, and the snow-white hair fluttered.

Yuzuru Yu slowly unfolded the note, looked at it for a long time, then folded it again bit by bit, and finally opened the comic and put it between the pages of the book.

After doing all this, the girl lowered her head slightly, and her thoughts seemed to go back to that late night.

……

……

"Where's the money?!"

The man had a ferocious face and fierce eyes.

"Where's the money when I asked you?! Didn't I tell you that it can't be cured? Even the doctor said don't hold out hope for that disease. Why can't you wrap your head around it? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

In the silent night, there was a sudden and crisp slapping sound.

Behind the door, in a dark and cramped corner, the girl's thin body huddled up, trembling slightly.

She bent her legs slightly, clasped her arms around them, and buried her head deep in her knees.

Tears flowed down my cheeks and rolled to the corners of my mouth, tasting bitter and salty.

She bit her lip, her fingertips unconsciously clenched, but because she was clenching too hard, they were deeply embedded in the palm of her hand.

Feeling the sharp pain, I dared not make any sound.

She knew that if the man heard her here, he would only become more aggressive and more insane.

Only patience.

Wait until the man has completely vented his emotions.

Finally, I don’t know how long it had been, but perhaps my mother’s painful pleading had worked, or maybe the man was really tired of beating her, the noise outside the door began to weaken little by little.

About a few minutes later, the man's voice sounded again, with a slightly softer tone.

"I know you have money... the money you brought from there."

"Yes, I really shouldn't have done it. I know it's not easy for you and your daughter, but there's nothing I can do, Yuzi..."

At this point, the voice suddenly became more anxious and angry.

"Besides, didn't I go gambling just for that medicine jar? If it weren't for her, how could I owe such a large sum of money?!"

"You don't understand at all. If I had won that round, how much money I would have made! Even if you work for another year, you can't make as much as I did in these two minutes!"

When the man said this, he saw that she was still silent, and he became furious. He raised his hand and was about to hit her again, but in the end he held back, forced himself to bend down, and said softly:

"Yuzi, can you give me another chance, please?"

"We are husband and wife after all. You don't want to just watch me get hacked to death, right? They really dare to do it..."

When he said the last sentence, his voice trembled.

Hearing this, the woman finally responded.

Without looking at him, she just shook her head slowly but firmly.

"That's... Xiaoxi's medicine money."

She paused and uttered a few words with difficulty.

"I don't owe you anything."

"..."

Dead silence.

Seeing that neither soft nor hard tactics worked, the man spat in a low voice, kicked the man away, turned around and walked away cursing.

After the footsteps went away, the woman slowly stood up and began to clean up the mess.

A farce that must eventually come to an end.

After a while, she noticed something, looked up, and found that the bedroom door had been opened at some point.

The girl leaned against the door, wiped her red eyes with the back of her hand, and whispered, "Mom, I don't want to go to the hospital anymore."

The woman was startled and stepped forward to hug her in her arms.

A smile appeared on the face that still had red marks on it.

"No, mom will be very sad."

……

Thoughts return. So.

Can I really ask for more than this?

Thinking of the boy's instructions before he left, Yuzuru Yui hugged the comic in her arms tightly, lowered her eyes, and talked to herself.

"...I still won't cause you any more trouble."

The girl's voice was weak and was soon blown away by the wind.

……

……

"Hey, where are my shoes!"

Early Monday morning, Chen An jumped up on his tattered bed, which he had not been away from for a long time. He looked around, but did not see the familiar pair of shoes.

Chen Xingguo, who had just bought breakfast, glanced at him and said, "I washed them for you last night. You can wear this pair."

After saying that, he picked up a pair of new ones and threw them over.

He waited for Chen An to pack up, and then said, "When you go to school today, if the teachers and classmates ask you about it, just say that you were sick and hospitalized before. Don't say anything you shouldn't say, okay?"

Chen An has no objection.

In fact, after coming back yesterday, Chen Xingguo had reminded me many times.

Following him downstairs, Chen An took a step quite skillfully.

Pingyang Primary School and Fandou Community are not far away from each other. It takes about ten minutes to walk there, and it is even faster to drive there, only three to five minutes.

After getting off the car at the school gate, Chen An took two steps, turned around, and waved to the man who was still standing there.

He smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, go and do your thing. After what happened, the county's security must be very good now, so don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingguo hesitated for a moment, said nothing more, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Chen An glanced at the crowd of people around him, his eyes swept over those young faces, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Eight years old...

That’s okay.

At least I can lay a good foundation instead of being reborn in the embarrassing situation the day before the college entrance examination.

But then again, his grades in his previous life were not bad either, and he graduated from a prestigious school, so he didn't have too many filters when it came to the "regret" of the college entrance examination.

He came to school to study honestly only because he didn't want to expose himself too early, and even more so didn't want to be a child prodigy.

He is a quiet person by nature, and he has no big ambitions to live his life over again.

I hope I can make a little money, find a girlfriend for my dad, and spend the rest of the money on eating and drinking - oh, and it would be best if I could have one or two romances.

In his previous life, he was obsessed with studying and almost always went to and from school. His life as a young boy ended when he graduated from college.

As far as I can remember, I was dragged to sing karaoke after the graduation ceremony, drank a little wine, and was carried home by a senior student when I was drunk...

At first he was wondering why this senior student was so kind. She said it was not necessary, but still insisted on sending him upstairs.

As for what happened next, he didn't remember it very clearly. He only remembered that the moon that night was very big, very white, and a little round...

"Brother Chen An!"

My wandering thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a childish shout with a hint of surprise.

When he came back to look, he saw the girl standing two steps higher than him, bending slightly, staring at him with her bright eyes without blinking.

I didn’t wear a skirt today. Instead, I wore the blue and white short-sleeved school uniform that was very common in that era, with a red ribbon tied around the right shoulder.

Chen An looked at her and suddenly asked, "Are your eyes dry?"

Bai Congdong was stunned by the question. She blinked subconsciously and said, "No..."

Chen An smiled, said nothing, and raised his leg to continue walking inside.

As a result, just as he passed the girl, a delicate little hand grabbed his arm.

He was slightly startled, "What's wrong?"

Bai Congdong's mouth corners slowly rose. She walked in front of the boy, a cunning flash in her eyes. She stretched out her little hand and seriously fiddled with Chen An's collar.

"Ahem, I'm the discipline committee member appointed by the teacher now. Brother Chen An, please don't move around. Let me check it carefully!"
