run……

Run quickly...

Faster...

Even though she was out of breath and her legs were heavy, Huaxia still gritted her teeth and used all her strength and will to run hard. She was racing against time and against fate.

She was going to save her brother from drowning.

I finally ran to the river in the suburbs, only to see a bunch of people on the bank gathered together and making noise. Through the gap, I saw a wet boy lying on the ground unconscious.

Seeing this scene, Hua Qiao's heart froze, and all her strength and will instantly collapsed into pieces.

I'm late again!

"Wow -" Hua Qiao cried sadly and desperately like countless times before.

Why is she so useless!

I ran away countless times, but every time I arrived late, I couldn't stop my brother from getting into trouble every time.

All the misfortunes in Hua Xiao's life began during the summer vacation when she was sixteen.

The gorgeous mother took her thirteen-year-old brother to visit relatives at her grandfather's house. The younger brother secretly went to play in the river with someone and drowned. Although he was rescued, he turned into a vegetative state with only one breath left.

He lay unconscious in bed, and finally passed away after spending all his family's money.

Then there was no peace at home anymore. My father complained and scolded me almost every day, complaining that my mother should not take my younger brother to his grandfather's house, otherwise he would not drown; he scolded my mother for insisting on spending money on my hopeless younger brother.

The family was left destitute.

As a result, before the summer vacation was over, my mother committed suicide due to sadness and self-blame, and the family also severed ties with my grandparents.

Then Hua Xiao got a stepmother and a stepsister, and her situation became even worse. It even took her ten years to escape from the hands of the treacherous mother and daughter.

…

Hua Xiao woke up from her sleep again with tears on her face. It was still dark, the room was filled with darkness and silence, and her heart was still immersed in the sorrow in her dream.

Since she was diagnosed with the disease during the physical examination, Huaxia has been dreaming almost every night when she goes to bed for the past six months, dreaming that she is back to her teenage years and the day when her younger brother drowned.

Although it was in a dream, she wanted to change the tragedy every time, so she ran with all her strength every time.

Unfortunately, whether in reality or in a dream, she was very incompetent and could not change anything. The torture of illness and the carelessness of reality made Hua Xiao lose her business.

After a long while, she breathed out gently, feeling the weakness of her body and thinking about how long she could survive, while slowly reaching out to fumble for her phone.

Three o'clock in the morning.

She turned on her phone and looked at the time first, then saw a few unread messages without any surprise, and she felt a little warmer in her heart.

It was a WeChat message sent by brother Li Chenguang last night, two messages asking about her physical condition; one message told her that a famous doctor who had returned from China had come to the Gao District Hospital and had made an appointment for a consultation in two days, and that he and He Wen would come to pick her up;

There was also a reminder that she must tell him and He Wen if she felt uncomfortable.

He Wen is Brother Li's wife.

Brother Li and sister-in-law He Wen are both good people. In the past twenty years, they have been as good to themselves as they are to their own sisters. Her achievements today are inseparable from Brother Li's help.

Hua Qiao thought that after she died, her house, car and little property would be left to Brother Li's family, as a small repayment.

As for those people, don't even think about getting a hair out of her.

Hua Qiao thought that if those people knew that she was dead and all their things were given to others, they would be so angry that they would jump up and down. Thinking about that scene, Hua Qiao felt a flash of joy in her heart.

The thought came back to her and she sighed again. If she could exchange for her brother to be fine and her mother to be safe, she would be willing to give all her property to those despicable people.

After thinking wildly for a while, Hua Xiao fell into a drowsy state.

Before losing consciousness, Hua Qiao thought: It seems that she really doesn't have a few more days to live. In the past, after waking up in the middle of the night, she almost always kept her eyes open until dawn, but this time she was able to fall asleep again.

…

"Hua Xian, wake up quickly."

A somewhat sharp girl's voice rang in her ears, and then someone pushed her body. The person who pushed her was so rough and not gentle at all. If her broken body was jolted a few more times, she would probably be shaken.

I left when I couldn't catch my breath.

Huaxia opened her eyes, wanting to see which girl was so uneducated.

Um?

She blinked, looking suspicious.

There was indeed a young girl in front of him, but her dress was a bit... rustic, with two thick black braids, a floral shirt that had been washed white, and a pair of blue coarse trousers.

The impatient look on the young girl's face was replaced by a smile and anxiety when she saw Hua Xiao opening her eyes, and the hand that pushed her quickly retracted.

Ha, what a scheming girl!

Having experienced too many bells and whistles, I can see through the false nature of the person in front of me at a glance.

"Hua Qiao, didn't you promise to help me take care of my house today? Why did you fall asleep? I still have to take a bus to Yunhua City to meet Teacher Zhang. If it's later, it will be too late. If I really miss it, it's all your fault.

Come on. Get up quickly and follow me to our house. I will tell you about the things at home..." The girl said with a smile while pushing Hua Qiao, trying to make Hua Qiao get up quickly.

Who is this? Why do you want to help others take care of the house? With her physical condition, it would be good if others don't take care of her.

Hua Qiao was confused in her heart, and then suddenly her eyes widened.

Isn't this Su Hongyu who was seventeen or eighteen years old more than twenty years ago?

Her 'friend' Su Hongyu when she was a teenager, her family lived on the same street, and she had played with Su Hongyu since she was a child.

At that time, she was very stupid. She was always being bossed around by Su Hongyu, and she regarded her as a real friend with all her heart. However, Su Hongyu was scheming to boss her around and taking advantage of her, while at the same time, she did not hesitate to make a small profit.

He sold her.

In addition to Su Hongyu, the Su family also has a lame mother and a younger brother who is mentally ill.

Su Hongyu has often called herself to look after the Su family for her since she was in middle school. She said she was taking care of the Su family, but in fact, to put it bluntly, she was going to the Su family to be a nanny, and she was a nanny who did whatever anyone wanted for free.

What was she thinking at that time?

Oh, right.

When a good friend needs help, she will naturally help. Moreover, taking care of the old, weak, sick and disabled is such a beautiful and noble thing. Isn't it a beautiful Chinese tradition for neighbors to help each other?

Oh, silly girl!

Hua Qiao couldn't help but lament that when she was a teenager, she was so simple and kind-hearted that others bullied her.

But later when she broke up with her family, she gave Su Hongyu a heavy blow to repay the losses she had suffered over the years, and never paid attention to Su Hongyu again.

Thoughts flashed through her mind, and she thought to herself that it looked like she was dreaming again.

Why did she dream of Su Hongyu today? Usually when she dreams, she is always running for her life trying to save her brother.

Could it be that he was really dying, so that even an irrelevant person like Su Hongyu could think of him and fall into a dream?

Hua Qiao was thinking about something and her movements were a little slow.

Usually, as long as Su Hongyu complained a little or two, Huaxia would quickly admit her mistake and pat her chest to assure her, but today Huaxia was not as positive as before, and Su Hongyu couldn't help but want to be angry.

"Hua Qiao, are you still my good friend? Do you still want to support my progress?" Su Hongyu asked.

After hearing this, Hua Xiao let out a laugh and subconsciously sarcastically said: "What good can I do to be your good friend? What does it have to do with me if you advance!"

Unexpectedly, Su Hongyu, who was usually very talkative in the past, would say such harsh words. Su Hongyu was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red with annoyance.

"Hua Qiao, how can you talk to me like this?! Did you hit someone evil?" Su Hongyu said and pushed Hua Qiao, "You must apologize to me and admit your mistake, otherwise I will not forgive you.

, It’s in vain that I have always taken care of you and played with you since you were a child.”

What she said was that she had played with Hua Qiao since she was a child, but she was just greedy for the snacks in Hua Xiao's hands. She often tricked Hua Xiao into getting snacks from her, and even encouraged Hua Xiao to bring her food from home.

Hua Xiao works for her.
