Yao Zhen didn't even react, let alone Xiang Changning who just woke up.
Xiang Changning was usually cold and indifferent to things around him, but suddenly a big girl knelt in front of him, Xiang Changning didn't have a headache for a while, but his thinking couldn't keep up.
Li Manli knelt really, just that moment, the sound of plopping her knees on the ground really sounded solid to Yao.
It hurts to hear it.
Tears instantly blurred Li Manli's face, and she frowned and looked at Changning, as if her cousin was her only life-saving straw at this moment.
Yao Zhen reacted quickly: "What is this for? Get up first, and speak up when you have something to say."
"No no no" Li Manli cried while avoiding Yao Zhen's hand that wanted to help her up.
"I can't get up, I...wow - I can't accept it..."
After saying this, the kneeling girl covered her face with her hands, and within a few seconds, Xiang Changning could see the tears flowing from her fingers, clear and hot.
This scene has never been known before, Xiang Changning remembers it vaguely, and he seems to have cried heartbreakingly.
He heard his voice tremble involuntarily: "What can't you accept?"
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Xiang Changning suddenly said in a strange way: "The law of the development of some things does not depend on people's will."
The voice seemed to be soaked in an ice spring, cool, and her expression didn't change. Looking at Li Manli who was crying, she didn't say to wake her up, and didn't say much comforting words.
After hearing this, Yao Zhen felt that Xiang Changning was not in the right state.
Li Manli cried even louder.
After standing like this for a few minutes, Yao Zhen said forcefully, "Go and wash up first, I'll pull her up, we'll talk after we stop crying."
Li Manli shook her head when she heard it: "No, no, I won't get up."
Xiang Changning stood very straight, his gaze changed from being ignorant at first to now obscure and complicated.The footsteps are also motionless.
Yao Zhen frowned: "Then how long are you going to kneel, forever?"
Li Manli stopped talking and shook her head again.
Xiang Changning took a deep breath and exhaled, speaking slowly, patiently saying each word: "I'm going to wash up now, you do what my friend said, get up and sit on the sofa in the living room and wait for me."
Li Manli covered her face and didn't move, she just cried and cried.
Yao really wanted to grab her, but she avoided her again. If a big girl doesn't want to, it's really hard for Yao to do it, and it's not good for her to force her clothes.Li Manli is wearing a spring skirt with a large neckline.Yao Zhen didn't do anything either.
Xiang Changning frowned, and said suddenly with a ruthless voice: "I asked you to get up, did you hear that!
"What you ask of me now is nothing more than money and medical conditions. I can still discuss it with you when you get up. If you kneel down again, my friend will not do it. I will throw you out, believe it or not?!"
Xiang Changning's complexion was covered with frost, and he didn't speak too loudly, but he was full of sinisterness inside.
Yao Zhen's eyes wandered between the two.
Li Manli cried for a while, and stared blankly at Xiang Changning, seeing Xiang Changning's face, she didn't dare to cry anymore.
After a long while, he nodded in fright.
Seeing her standing up, Xiang Changning's tone regained his calmness when he woke up, and said to Yao Zhen: "Pour her a glass of water, and heat me a glass of milk, too?"
"Well, you wash up first."
Yao Zhen poured Li Manli a glass of water, thinking that since he wanted to discuss Ren Li's condition, he found all the inspection reports in the study and took them to the coffee table in the living room.
"What is this?" Li Manli asked timidly while holding the cup.
Yao Zhen said: "Aunt Ren's inspection report, these are from last week, and this one was re-examined just this week."
"May I take a look at it?"
"certainly"
Xiang Changning changed into home clothes, not formal clothes, and walked out with half-closed eyes. Yao Zhen handed him milk, and he drank it while walking around the balcony to refresh his mind. It was very quiet.Li Manli also looked at him, timidly waiting for him to speak.
After drinking the milk, Xiang Changning turned around and went to the kitchen to wash the cup, made himself a cup of refreshing green tea and came out, the green glass inside was placed on the coffee table with a muffled "Duang" sound.
Xiang Changning opened his eyes completely, and turned serious to Li Manli: "If you have anything, just say it."
After thinking about it, he added: "Don't cry, I can't listen to you carefully when you are crying."
Li Manli held back the tears that rolled into her eyes, looked down at the hem of her skirt, and murmured: "Cousin, is this matter about my mother really lung cancer? Will there be any problems if it is found out?"
In contrast to the two, Xiang Changning described them as extremely indifferent.
There is no generation gap between him and Li Manli. Li Manli is a freshman this year.
Xiang Changning shook his head: "No, I checked it twice, and it was seen by an old doctor in the respiratory department. It can't be wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the tears in Li Manli's eyes falling straight down.
When Xiang Changning was in the ICU, he saw all kinds of family members. He could not say that he disliked Li Manli, nor could he say that he liked her. I paid, I found your mother's current place to live, but you tell me, what do you want from me?"
After listening, Li Manli lowered her head again.
After another long time, Li Manli's voice was soft and thin: "Cousin, I know that my mother treats you badly, and she does a lot of things too much. You don't like her, but—but when you are in trouble, it is always her." She also helped your aunt to deal with your funeral, even though she has not treated you very well for so many years, for the sake of the family, can you, can you help her?"
Xiang Changning chuckled, and asked with some disdain, "How did I not help you this time?"
Li Manli was stunned by the question, she looked down at the pattern on her skirt like an ostrich.
Xiang Changning was a little confused at the beginning, after drinking milk and then eating something, after so long, no matter how slow his thoughts turned, he still wanted to understand.
His words were frighteningly straightforward: "Are you thinking about what kind of favor your family has given me? You can use it to talk about it, and use it to play emotional cards... But, you were in city B when I had a car accident. You don’t have much time to go home to study, so what do you know? Whether it’s your aunt who asked you to come, or your aunt, they must have never given you a detailed explanation of their kindness.
"Family cards are really hard to use here, why don't you just say the conditions directly, as I have already said, I will help if I can, and I can't help if I can't. Since you are willing to kneel down, why don't you just say it straightforwardly?" ?”
These words are really harsh.
Li Manli didn't have much contact with Xiang Changning, this thorny words made her heartbroken, and she muttered like a little white rabbit: "Cousin, how can you say that, how can you say that?"
Xiang Changning smiled: "Then what do you want me to say? I'm tired from work, and I don't want to cry with you here on my rest day?!"
"You, what you said...my mother is also your aunt after all, how can you be so..."
Li Manli pursed her lips, and Xiang Changning's expression remained unchanged. She was stung by tears from this scene, and choked up, "Why are you so indifferent?"
Yao Zhen couldn't talk about what happened in the past, and hearing the crying sound gave her a headache, so she handed the girl a pack of tissue paper.
And Xiang Changning actually laughed after hearing this, Ru Jinpi sneered together, it looked a little weird.
His voice was still calm: "There are many things in your family and I that can't be about love. Why do you think you were asked to come? Because your parents don't talk about the word 'love' with me. Also Only you are young, you just learned about your mother's situation, and you don't know what happened in the past, so you can speak up.
"But they may be wrong, my heart is never soft. So,
"I won't give more money. The house in my hometown is mine. Your mother wanted to buy it before, but I didn't sell it. Now I don't know what to do. The property rights will be changed. As for the surgical beds in the provincial hospital, I can turn around."
Li Manli looked at Changning with teary eyes: "Cousin, you...you..."
After a long time, I choked out a sentence: "At any rate, my mother took care of your meals when you were in your third year of high school. When you recovered, she was the one who ran up and down to take care of you. You can't say such unfeeling words."
Xiang Changning didn't speak for a moment.
Looking at Li Manli with a blank face, Yao Zhen felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't get into the conversation with this atmosphere.
After staring at each other for a long time, Xiang Changning slowly smiled again, this smile was freezing cold.
"So what exactly do you know?
"Or, what did Uncle tell you?"
Li Manli blushed when she heard this, and the feeling of being humiliated was swirling in her chest, forcing her to bite her lower lip with her upper teeth, frowning and speaking in a bad tone: "Do you have to say it so clearly, using benefits to calculate emotions?"
"It doesn't even count, how do you know how many feelings you have?"
The girl couldn't bear Xiang Changning's indifference, and cried excitedly: "There was an accident in your house before, and my mother ran up and down to take care of your house day and night. When you were lying on the hospital bed, she was the one who took care of it." wrong."
To Changning's brows and eyes,
After a long while, Xiang Changning said, "Yes."
"then you……"
Before Li Manli finished speaking, Xiang Changning continued on her own: "It was she who ran up and down, but she was also the one who made my parents' affairs known to everyone. At that time, my family's savings were still sufficient. Qianfeng County I only know that there was a car accident at home, and not many people knew about my mother becoming a vegetable. Once Ren Li said it at school, everyone knew that my mother had become a vegetable.”
Li Manli was stunned: "Well, what then?"
"Then my mother's situation is known to everyone, if she doesn't tell, maybe I can borrow some money without telling my conscience.
"Thinking that my mother can still wake up, my former friends may borrow some money, but if the condition becomes that she is in a vegetable state, her sister personally said that she is someone whose doctor determined that she would not wake up? Can I still borrow money?" ?”
Li Manli's eyes widened for a moment, and she shook her head in disbelief: "No, this..."
He hesitated to finish speaking, and stood up to Chang Ning in the next moment, looking down at Li Manli, the coldness in his eyes rose as he got up, and his voice was so clean that it was shockingly clear:
"Then Ren Li is hypocritical. Do you know how many times she persuaded me to extubate when my mother was on the ventilator outside the ward? You must not understand this feeling before. Now I will give you a metaphor. She persuaded me to extubate. It’s like I’m saying to you, ‘Cancer will die if you can’t save it, you waste your energy and money on treatment, why don’t you just give up and let her die early and be born again’!”
Li Manli's lips trembled, and her whole body trembled with anger.
Xiang Changning's voice was still calm: "How does it feel? Is it great? What are you crying about? You still have your father, your relatives, and your uncle and second uncle. You are not like me. At that time, I only had my family members besides myself. Savings and real estate, you see, your father arranged for you to come here, and you haven't lost your backbone yet.
"I just saw his car parked downstairs on the balcony. When you came up, uncle told you a lot, right?"
One sentence is earth-shattering.
The girl's eyes were wide open, but she couldn't make any sound with her mouth open.
Xiang Changning just looked at her without sadness or joy, as if he knew everything he was hiding from her. Looking at her with this look made her feel cold all over, and at the same time, she felt an indescribable fear of Xiang Changning.
What Xiang Changning said was right, Li Fan was downstairs, yesterday her father thought about it all night, picked her up from the university, told her the fucking things, and asked her to come and ask Changning.Li Fan knew that Xiang Changning was hard-hearted, and knew that Xiang Changning couldn't be persuaded, but he didn't expect Xiang Changning to realize that they were deliberately begging him.
Li Manli trembled: "You, what, how did you think of it?"
Xiang Changning walked around the coffee table, walked two steps closer to Li Manli, as if he was looking at some small animal, and said firmly: "You and I don't match up in my impression, Ren Li raised you so that you don't understand the hardships of life. High school is less than others Can an arrogant person who can cry angrily with two points in the test, kneel down to me as soon as he comes?
"I never knelt before anyone back then, even if you haven't reached that step, you won't either!!"
Looking down at Changning, he was too calm and clear: "There are still some things that my uncle has not participated in, but he has not cared about them. It just so happens that we can finish talking together, and you can pass them on, so as not to be awkward when everyone discusses together. .”
Li Manli's voice fluttered: "What is it?"
"Of course it's the so-called affection. What's going on?"
Li Manli hurriedly looked at Changning, but Xiang Changning remained unmoved:
"I lived in your house for a while in high school, but Ren Li later found out... Well, you know, she hates me very much, and besides, I have no legal obligations or responsibilities with her, why does she support me? She doesn't want to raise me, don't I know, I was too stubborn when I was young, she didn't like me, and I didn't show up in front of her.
"In the second half of the third year of high school, I ate dinner at my teacher's house, and then went back to my own house. Fortunately, I only sold one house. If I sold all of them, I don't know where I can live.
"I don't want this kind of favor like charity, and she didn't force it."
"Anything else to ask?"
The atmosphere was like frost. After a long time, Xiang Changning saw that Li Manli was silent, and said, "If you don't have any more, let's go...then..."
The word 'go' irritated Li Manli, and the girl shook her head when she heard it, but she couldn't think of a word while shaking her head.
He raised his eyebrows at Changning.
After a long time, Li Manli choked out a sentence: "You, when you were in college, my mother always gave you living expenses, once a year. I, I know, I've seen it. You can't deny this, right?"
Xiang Changning laughed: "Then have you seen me use it?"
Li Manli was stunned by the question.
"Since you are in college now, the annual fee is at least 1 yuan. Use your brain to think about it. She pays me three to four thousand living expenses every year when I start school, not to mention dressing. Do you think it is enough for me to eat? Since it is not enough, why did she still call me?
After a while, Xiang Changning saw that Li Manli really couldn't react, and concluded:
"She will call me on time when I don't need it, because Qianfeng County is a small place, and she is a teacher. She is afraid that people will poke her back and say that she doesn't care about me. But does she really want to call me? She asked at the university. Did you ask me a question about expenses? Have you ever seen her call me to ask me about my health?
"Since you can also be admitted to a good university, then you can answer me truthfully now, is your mother hypocritical?"
This sentence is like piercing something.
Li Manli was still crying, but she couldn't make any sound.
Looking calm on Xiang Changning's face, he was still a little anxious in his heart, fumbling around in his trouser pockets, missing the cigarette case he always carried.
This small action also caught Yao Zhen's eyes.
There was silence for more than ten minutes, walking back and forth to Changning in small steps, waiting for Li Manli to reply.
Li Manli wiped away her tears, her upper and lower teeth were clinking and trembling: "But, but she is still my mother, she is now, now..." Before finishing speaking, she began to cry again.
Xiang Changning listened to crying and crying for so long, and finally broke out:
"Cry out and cry."
I have already said so much, and it is not short of a sentence or two. I told Changning the truth: "It was only a month before and after my parents died. If your mother is still able to undergo surgery, you will cry for mourning! I can't persuade you. Don't bother me in front of me either.
"I asked myself that I didn't owe your family anything. Apart from borrowing money from your family, it would be great if I didn't hate your mother. How much affection? It doesn't exist!
"You knelt and cried as soon as you came here. If your father told you, you can say it. If you don't say it, I'll see you off. Go outside, cry as long as you like—"
"I--"
Yao Zhen hurriedly asked Chang Ning before he became even more irritable, "Speak out if you have anything to say, you have nothing to hide when you have talked to this point."
Li Manli lowered her head and looked at her legs. After a long while, she said in a weak voice: "Cousin, if you want to stay in City B, you will have to buy a house sooner or later. Now that the housing prices have risen so much, you have paid back my family's money. When you give the down payment The house in my hometown is definitely going to be sold. You..." The words became more and more difficult, Li Manli's heart broke, and she closed her eyes and continued cheekily.
"Can you lend my family the extra money after paying the down payment, and we will pay you back in the future."
Yao Zhen was stunned after hearing this.
The next moment he looked at Chang Ning, but Xiang Chang Ning didn't speak, he couldn't see any joy or anger.
Li Manli finished speaking boldly, then timidly looked up at Changning.
It turned out to be this plan.
Xiang Changning didn't expect it, but he should have thought about it, because when he wanted to buy a house in City B, he calculated that this was indeed the shortest route, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
Because there are still many old things in the house in my hometown, I have never thrown it to Changning. Every year on the festival day, I will go home for two days. In the familiar environment, I can still feel as if my parents have never gone far.
So Ren Li had been making indirect remarks for so long, but Xiang Changning didn't agree.
After all, it was because he could still feel the thoughts of his parents.
Now he has no such plan, but someone is helping him with this plan.
As if going back to what Ren Li said to him many years ago, Ren Li said:
"Changning, your mother is already like this. The doctor said that many organs are failing, and the probability of waking up and surviving is too small. If you put her on a ventilator and spend thousands of dollars a day, what will you do in the future? You have sold a house, but how long can it last? We can't borrow you a little money, so you still have to think about the future?"
The words are different, but the deep inner meaning is always the same.
Jumping towards Changning's forehead.
Xiang Changning asked: "And then?"
Li Manli was stunned, Li Fan's exhortations were still in her ears, and she immediately said: "We will try our best to cooperate with the transfer of household registration. When you buy a new house, we will go to the local area and transfer your household registration to you."
Xiang Changning smiled suddenly, that coldness permeated almost every word, he could hear his own malicious mocking voice:
"Heh - why spend so much money, lung cancer is a malignant tumor, and the average survival period after surgery is no more than three years, what are you fussing about, why not treat it conservatively.
"Cousin, you don't have a mother, but you still have a father. Look at me, I'm always better than me, right?
"There is a saying in the hospital that if it is cured it is a disease, but if it is not cured it is life.
"How can a person fight with his life?"
Li Manli was speechless in a daze.
Xiang Changning finished word by word: "If you like the household registration, you can keep it at your house. It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. When I have money, I can naturally find someone to find a way to move out. Since you think the money is too little, I don't want to pay it back either. So be it.
"Uncle doesn't need to come up to chat with me, we have nothing to talk about.
"roll!"
Xiang Changning was usually cold and indifferent to things around him, but suddenly a big girl knelt in front of him, Xiang Changning didn't have a headache for a while, but his thinking couldn't keep up.
Li Manli knelt really, just that moment, the sound of plopping her knees on the ground really sounded solid to Yao.

He hesitated to finish speaking, and stood up to Chang Ning in the next moment, looking down at Li Manli, the coldness in his eyes rose as he got up, and his voice was so clean that it was shockingly clear:
"Then Ren Li is hypocritical. Do you know how many times she persuaded me to extubate when my mother was on the ventilator outside the ward? You must not understand this feeling before. Now I will give you a metaphor. She persuaded me to extubate. It’s like I’m saying to you, ‘Cancer will die if you can’t save it, you waste your energy and money on treatment, why don’t you just give up and let her die early and be born again’!”
Li Manli's lips trembled, and her whole body trembled with anger.
Xiang Changning's voice was still calm: "How does it feel? Is it great? What are you crying about? You still have your father, your relatives, and your uncle and second uncle. You are not like me. At that time, I only had my family members besides myself. Savings and real estate, you see, your father arranged for you to come here, and you haven't lost your backbone yet.
"I just saw his car parked downstairs on the balcony. When you came up, uncle told you a lot, right?"
One sentence is earth-shattering.
The girl's eyes were wide open, but she couldn't make any sound with her mouth open.
Xiang Changning just looked at her without sadness or joy, as if he knew everything he was hiding from her. Looking at her with this look made her feel cold all over, and at the same time, she felt an indescribable fear of Xiang Changning.
What Xiang Changning said was right, Li Fan was downstairs, yesterday her father thought about it all night, picked her up from the university, told her the fucking things, and asked her to come and ask Changning.Li Fan knew that Xiang Changning was hard-hearted, and knew that Xiang Changning couldn't be persuaded, but he didn't expect Xiang Changning to realize that they were deliberately begging him.
Li Manli trembled: "You, what, how did you think of it?"
Xiang Changning walked around the coffee table, walked two steps closer to Li Manli, as if he was looking at some small animal, and said firmly: "You and I don't match up in my impression, Ren Li raised you so that you don't understand the hardships of life. High school is less than others Can an arrogant person who can cry angrily with two points in the test, kneel down to me as soon as he comes?
"I never knelt before anyone back then, even if you haven't reached that step, you won't either!!"
Looking down at Changning, he was too calm and clear: "There are still some things that my uncle has not participated in, but he has not cared about them. It just so happens that we can finish talking together, and you can pass them on, so as not to be awkward when everyone discusses together. .”
Li Manli's voice fluttered: "What is it?"
"Of course it's the so-called affection. What's going on?"
Li Manli hurriedly looked at Changning, but Xiang Changning remained unmoved:
"I lived in your house for a while in high school, but Ren Li later found out... Well, you know, she hates me very much, and besides, I have no legal obligations or responsibilities with her, why does she support me? She doesn't want to raise me, don't I know, I was too stubborn when I was young, she didn't like me, and I didn't show up in front of her.
"In the second half of the third year of high school, I ate dinner at my teacher's house, and then went back to my own house. Fortunately, I only sold one house. If I sold all of them, I don't know where I can live.
"I don't want this kind of favor like charity, and she didn't force it."
"Anything else to ask?"
The atmosphere was like frost. After a long time, Xiang Changning saw that Li Manli was silent, and said, "If you don't have any more, let's go...then..."
The word 'go' irritated Li Manli, and the girl shook her head when she heard it, but she couldn't think of a word while shaking her head.
He raised his eyebrows at Changning.
After a long time, Li Manli choked out a sentence: "You, when you were in college, my mother always gave you living expenses, once a year. I, I know, I've seen it. You can't deny this, right?"
Xiang Changning laughed: "Then have you seen me use it?"
Li Manli was stunned by the question.
"Since you are in college now, the annual fee is at least 1 yuan. Use your brain to think about it. She pays me three to four thousand living expenses every year when I start school, not to mention dressing. Do you think it is enough for me to eat? Since it is not enough, why did she still call me?
After a while, Xiang Changning saw that Li Manli really couldn't react, and concluded:
"She will call me on time when I don't need it, because Qianfeng County is a small place, and she is a teacher. She is afraid that people will poke her back and say that she doesn't care about me. But does she really want to call me? She asked at the university. Did you ask me a question about expenses? Have you ever seen her call me to ask me about my health?
"Since you can also be admitted to a good university, then you can answer me truthfully now, is your mother hypocritical?"
This sentence is like piercing something.
Li Manli was still crying, but she couldn't make any sound.
Looking calm on Xiang Changning's face, he was still a little anxious in his heart, fumbling around in his trouser pockets, missing the cigarette case he always carried.
This small action also caught Yao Zhen's eyes.
There was silence for more than ten minutes, walking back and forth to Changning in small steps, waiting for Li Manli to reply.
Li Manli wiped away her tears, her upper and lower teeth were clinking and trembling: "But, but she is still my mother, she is now, now..." Before finishing speaking, she began to cry again.
Xiang Changning listened to crying and crying for so long, and finally broke out:
"Cry out and cry."
I have already said so much, and it is not short of a sentence or two. I told Changning the truth: "It was only a month before and after my parents died. If your mother is still able to undergo surgery, you will cry for mourning! I can't persuade you. Don't bother me in front of me either.
"I asked myself that I didn't owe your family anything. Apart from borrowing money from your family, it would be great if I didn't hate your mother. How much affection? It doesn't exist!
"You knelt and cried as soon as you came here. If your father told you, you can say it. If you don't say it, I'll see you off. Go outside, cry as long as you like—"
"I--"
Yao Zhen hurriedly asked Chang Ning before he became even more irritable, "Speak out if you have anything to say, you have nothing to hide when you have talked to this point."
Li Manli lowered her head and looked at her legs. After a long while, she said in a weak voice: "Cousin, if you want to stay in City B, you will have to buy a house sooner or later. Now that the housing prices have risen so much, you have paid back my family's money. When you give the down payment The house in my hometown is definitely going to be sold. You..." The words became more and more difficult, Li Manli's heart broke, and she closed her eyes and continued cheekily.
"Can you lend my family the extra money after paying the down payment, and we will pay you back in the future."
Yao Zhen was stunned after hearing this.
The next moment he looked at Chang Ning, but Xiang Chang Ning didn't speak, he couldn't see any joy or anger.
Li Manli finished speaking boldly, then timidly looked up at Changning.
It turned out to be this plan.
Xiang Changning didn't expect it, but he should have thought about it, because when he wanted to buy a house in City B, he calculated that this was indeed the shortest route, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
Because there are still many old things in the house in my hometown, I have never thrown it to Changning. Every year on the festival day, I will go home for two days. In the familiar environment, I can still feel as if my parents have never gone far.
So Ren Li had been making indirect remarks for so long, but Xiang Changning didn't agree.
After all, it was because he could still feel the thoughts of his parents.
Now he has no such plan, but someone is helping him with this plan.
As if going back to what Ren Li said to him many years ago, Ren Li said:
"Changning, your mother is already like this. The doctor said that many organs are failing, and the probability of waking up and surviving is too small. If you put her on a ventilator and spend thousands of dollars a day, what will you do in the future? You have sold a house, but how long can it last? We can't borrow you a little money, so you still have to think about the future?"
The words are different, but the deep inner meaning is always the same.
Jumping towards Changning's forehead.
Xiang Changning asked: "And then?"
Li Manli was stunned, Li Fan's exhortations were still in her ears, and she immediately said: "We will try our best to cooperate with the transfer of household registration. When you buy a new house, we will go to the local area and transfer your household registration to you."
Xiang Changning smiled suddenly, that coldness permeated almost every word, he could hear his own malicious mocking voice:
"Heh - why spend so much money, lung cancer is a malignant tumor, and the average survival period after surgery is no more than three years, what are you fussing about, why not treat it conservatively.
"Cousin, you don't have a mother, but you still have a father. Look at me, I'm always better than me, right?
"There is a saying in the hospital that if it is cured it is a disease, but if it is not cured it is life.
"How can a person fight with his life?"
Li Manli was speechless in a daze.
Xiang Changning finished word by word: "If you like the household registration, you can keep it at your house. It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. When I have money, I can naturally find someone to find a way to move out. Since you think the money is too little, I don't want to pay it back either. So be it.
"Uncle doesn't need to come up to chat with me, we have nothing to talk about.
"roll!"
