Chapter 34: Dad's Colleague
Tian Wei smiled awkwardly, while Jiang Jun stood beside her, looking at her shy appearance, and leaned in close to her ear, teasing, "Fake it! Try harder! You're really good at faking!"
Tian Wei's foot directly kicked Jiang Jun's heel, without any softness, and the pain made Jiang Jun cry out loudly.
"Look at the kid, can't help but praise him. Just praised him and he's being naughty again. With such a heavy kick, isn't he afraid of really hurting Jiang Jun?" Li Shufen scolded with a tap on Tianyuan's forehead.
"Mom, I'm just thinking about the footwork!" Tianyuan pouted and defended herself, glaring at Jiang Jun, "Let you talk too much!"
Lao Hu and a few others couldn't stop laughing, then took out a red envelope and handed it to Li Shufen, "Big sister, this is what we brothers mean, take it to buy something for Tian Biao to nourish his body."
"This is embarrassing, Old Hu, hurry up and take it back!" Tian Biao didn't take it, "I'm already happy you guys came, everyone's having a tough time, how can I let you spend this money? Take it back quickly!"
"Tan Biao, if you don't mind that we're poor and can't give you a lot of money, just take it. We may be poor, but this little bit of money is still worth something, right? With this money, you can't even buy abalone or shark fin, but you can at least buy some pig's trotters to supplement your diet." Old Hu forcibly stuffed the red envelope into Li Shufen's hand and said, "Now that the coal mine has collapsed and the water has run out, we've reported it to the police, but we don't know if they'll be able to catch anyone. We still have half a month's salary left unpaid, and we also know that your family is big and has a lot of expenses for food and drink. The medical bills at the hospital are also a concern for us. Before we came here, we discussed it among ourselves and decided that whoever had some extra money would lend it to you first, so don't worry about the treatment at the hospital. When we get paid later, we'll send the money to you."
Tian Biao was stunned, he and these fellow workers were also nearly ten years of colleagues, usually everyone would have a little fun after work, but unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth, the fellow worker had already said all this to him, how could he not be moved?
"Old Uncle Hu, then I'll thank you on behalf of my dad and mom as well as our family. It's just in time, too - we just split up the household yesterday, and Dad got hurt. My sister and I are also about to start school soon. We only have 30 yuan left at home, and just now, Dad and Mom were worrying with Grandpa about money! Old Uncle Hu, please tell those uncles for me that thank you, they lent us money, and my dad will pay them back every cent in the future. Our family will also remember everyone's kindness."
Tian Wei accepted the words with a sincere thank you, Tian Biao and these colleagues of ten years were more concerned about her family at critical moments than their own families. In this era, every household is struggling to make ends meet, even if they can't lend much money in the future, but she appreciated the kind intention, she will remember the faces of these people, and one day when she has the ability, she will definitely repay them.
"This girl, she really knows how to talk. We and your dad are old buddies now, what's the point of talking about gratitude or not? Your dad is a good man, we believe that too. If any of us were in trouble, your dad would help us out." Old Hu smiled, his forehead wrinkling with age. He was older than others, always doing physical labor, making him look even more aged.
Several fellow workers left after waiting for a while at the hospital, Li Shufen and Tian Maohua sent people to the hospital gate before turning back. After returning to the ward, they opened the red envelope and took a fright, there was a full 100 yuan!
