Chapter 500 Selling a Watch
"Look at you, I've been lying in bed all day. Lying like this every day, my bones are loosening."
"Why are you the only one coming back? Where is Xiaoxia?"
Chengyue was very grateful to her husband for taking good care of her, but at the same time she felt indebted.
My husband has lived like this all these years because of himself.
Otherwise, if you marry a healthy and normal daughter-in-law with your husband's talents, you will already be surrounded by children.
Because not only was his family poor, but he also had to take care of such a sick child.
She felt really guilty. Her husband had no regrets about her these years, and he had done so for decades.
This also made Chengyue feel that her original choice was not wrong.
"I went to the guest house. Xiaoxia had something to say. She came over to do some errands and then came to see us.
And he asked me to buy the tickets in advance. If it’s almost the same, we can go back to see the old man in the next two days. "
"The old man must be in poor health. I heard he may need surgery..."
This was said half-heartedly, and at the same time it made Cheng Yue anxious.
"Why is it so serious, old man? Then hurry up and buy a ticket."
Chengyue was a little anxious, and her cough suddenly became more severe.
He Jianbin patted her back and comforted her warmly.
"Don't worry, I didn't expect that the old man's physical condition is so serious, and we haven't seen each other for so many years, and this is actually the case.
It's useless for you to be anxious. I just want to buy a ticket, but you also know our family's situation.
Don't worry, I'll go out to borrow money soon and see if I can borrow money. "
He Jianbin said worriedly, and when he saw Cheng Yue staring at him, he hurriedly showed an embarrassed smile.
"Don't be like this, you don't need to think about this.
I am a man, and I should be the one who supports this family.
Don't worry, we must go back and see the old man. We can't let you, father and daughter, part forever. "
Cheng Yue's eyes suddenly turned red, she took He Jianbin's hand and said,
"Don't go. Can I not know what's going on with our family?"
You have borrowed all kinds of things outside and owed a lot of debt, and now we can't even pay off the debt.
What should you say if you borrow it from someone else? How could someone be willing to lend it to you? "
“Daughter-in-law, you have to go back and see our father!
Don't worry, it's okay. At most, others will only say a few words to me.
As long as I don't refute, I just say that I've gotten used to it over the years, isn't it shameless? "
"Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely let you and the old man see each other one last time."
"I'm a man. I can't even support my own wife. Who am I? You have suffered with me all these years."
No wonder Cheng Yue couldn't be discovered after so many years of coaxing him. The main reason is that He Jianbin is really a character, and his acting skills are considered to be high-end.
He has been coaxing his wife like this for decades.
"Don't blame me for all these years. It's all my fault. It's my own poor health that has not only dragged you down, but also dragged down this family.
If it weren't for me, our family wouldn't be successful, and we wouldn't have our parents, younger brother, and daughter-in-law having such objections to us now. "
"If it doesn't work out, I still have a ladies' watch, although it's the last one.
Ask around and see who wants to sell it and get some money. "
Cheng Yue gritted her teeth. All the dowry she had brought had been sold and used, but it had become almost nothing over the years.
The house was bare-walled, and they didn’t even have a radio.
Even the tables and chairs were incomplete.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that the couple could live like this.
Especially since He Jianbin's monthly salary is quite high, such a person can actually live like this.
The couple also tightened their belts when it came to eating, and Cheng Yue basically hadn't had enough to eat in so many years.
This watch was bought by my father for myself. At that time, it was considered a loving father and a filial daughter.
Basically there is no need to think about anything else.
Because his father loved him the most, he spent a lot of money to buy this watch.
It was bought from the sea market.
This kind of watch is very expensive in the market. It is said that I bought this kind of watch from Youyi Store with foreign exchange coupons. It is considered an imported watch.
Over the years, no matter how poor I am, I have never been willing to sell this watch because the commemorative meaning of this watch is extraordinary, especially because the value of this watch is very high.
I have always been reluctant to put a lot of watches in the box.
But now in order to see my father, I can only exchange it for money.
He Jianbin felt a little happy. He had known about this watch for a long time. In fact, he had always wanted to persuade his wife to take out the watch and sell it for medical treatment.
But even though the wife was dying of illness, she was reluctant to sell the watch.
He has always maintained his image as a sanctimonious gentleman, and of course he cannot force his wife to sell it.
But now Chengyue was willing to take out this watch in order to see his father.
He Jianbin was very happy. This watch could definitely be exchanged for hundreds of dollars.
It is said that this is an imported watch.
I have this money in my hand, and I can also get some money from my niece and my wife.
If the niece and daughter-in-law don’t give money.
Meeting the old man finally became a part of the couple.
If the old man died, that would be better. At least the old man had an inheritance, and he knew that the old man had a lot of money on hand.
The old man is not an ordinary person. In that era, the old man's monthly salary was 300 yuan.
Not to mention the past ten years.
Even if the old man didn't die, seeing his daughter so sick and in debt, wouldn't he feel distressed to live like this?
Anyway, no matter which one it is, he won't suffer any loss.
He said with some embarrassment immediately.
"Cheng Yue, don't be like this. This watch is left to you by your father.
It has commemorative significance. If your father sees that this watch is gone when he goes back, he will be so sad."
Cheng Yue covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then took out the watch from the box, which was wrapped in a piece of cloth.
Opening the cloth, seeing the well-preserved watch inside, she felt sad.
No matter how difficult this watch is, she didn't take it out, but if she doesn't take it out now, how can the couple go back to see their father.
Just as she was about to put the watch in her husband's hand, she heard a knock on the door outside.
"He Jianbin, He Jianbin, open the door.
You owe us money, now it's time to pay it back, right?
It's endless!
You often borrow money from time to time, and you don't pay it back.
People say that if you borrow, you must pay it back, and it's not difficult to borrow again, but you came to our house to borrow money again today.
My wife scolded me for a long time, tell me, when will you pay it back?
If you don't pay it back today, I won't leave."
"Yes, Lao He should pay it back, you borrowed money from so many of us. You should pay it back, your family is not having a good time, and our family is not having a good time either."
Cheng Yue was shocked and quickly wrapped the watch with cloth and locked it in the box. (End of this chapter)
