Chapter 6: A ray of hope
Chapter 6: A ray of hope appears for the desperate mother and daughter
"Brother Amon, see you tomorrow!"
Ningguang packed up the lunch box and waved goodbye to Amon
Turned around and disappeared at the end of the road.
Amon was a little surprised by Ningguang's farewell.
Because he thought Ningguang would open the lunch box immediately and start eating.
After all, when Ningguang was grilling fish, her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Amon still remembers the little girl's shy face.
However, this little girl was so hungry.
After seeing the food, I didn't rush to eat it, but chose to take it home.
Soon Amon also understood Ningguang's behavior.
Ningguang probably thought that the meal was very sumptuous, so she wanted to take some back to share with her family.
This also made Amon sigh that this little girl is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
If Amon helped Ningguang before because he wanted to have the chance to meet her and get help from the rich woman in the future,
Now, he wanted to help Ningguang more from the bottom of his heart.
Because this little girl has had a really hard time.
Looking at Ningguang's disappearing back, Amon continued to eat the grilled fish and said, "I hope that money can relieve some of her pressure."
Yes,
Amon secretly put a bag of Mora into the lunch box he handed to Ningguang.
There are not many Moras, only 50,000.
Of course, the money was not given directly by Amon, but loaned to Ningguang.
I can pay it back when Ningguang has money in the future.
·······
Let's talk about Ningguang.
Little Ningguang returned home much faster than usual tonight.
Because today she brought two boxes of food from Wanmin Hall and wanted to share them with her mother.
I have to say, the food portions at Wanmin Hall are really generous!
As she walked along, Ningguang felt that her arms were heavy and it was a bit difficult to hold them.
So much so that the fair and plump forehead was covered with sweat, and the hair was also wet with sweat.
Although she was sweating from exhaustion, Ningguang had a happy smile on her face.
My mother had always wanted to eat the food at Wanmin restaurant, but because our family was not wealthy, she had never said it out loud.
Today I can finally fulfill my mother's wish.
····
Ningguang's home is a wooden house.
The area is not large.
There is only a simple kitchen and a bedroom.
It looked a bit shabby and had fallen into disrepair, with some of the wood showing signs of decay.
If you smell carefully, you can smell a faint smell of damp and mold in the air.
This is a place that even the treasure-hoarder group would shake their heads and be too lazy to visit.
But for Ningguang, this is her safe haven.
Ningguang feels at ease because she has a gentle and kind mother here.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"Guess what I brought back today?"
Ningguang pushed the door open as usual and spoke happily to the person inside.
Generally speaking, the mother would come out of the room after hearing Ningguang's voice.
However, today my mother was a little abnormal and no sound came from the room.
Ningguang had a bad feeling, so she immediately ran into the room.
Then she saw her mother lying on the floor, unconscious.
"Mom, what's happened? Don't scare me!"
Ningguang tried to wake her mother up, but found it was of no use.
Ningguang remembered that there was an old doctor in her village, so she immediately invited the old doctor over.
The old doctor also knew that Ningguang's family was not easy. After hearing Ningguang's explanation of the situation, he immediately followed Ningguang home.
He examined Ningguang's mother for a while, and then said, "Little Ningguang, your mother is in a coma because she is overworked."
"I will prepare a prescription for you later. You can get the medicine according to the prescription and have your mother take it for a week."
As the old doctor spoke, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down the prescription.
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor." Ningguang thanked him quickly and wanted to use Mora as payment for the doctor's consultation.
However, the old doctor just waved his hand and did not accept Ningguang's medical fee.
"Little girl, we are all from the same village, so forget about the money."
"Besides, everyone knows that your family life is not easy,"
"Besides, the medicine for your mother will cost at least 50,000 Mora. You should save some money and find a way to get Mora."
"Her condition cannot be delayed. It will only get worse. She must take medicine as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
After the old doctor gave his instructions, he sighed helplessly and left.
This sigh also expresses the helplessness and sadness for Ningguang's family.
For such a poor family, how easy is it to come up with 50,000 morats?
When Ningguang heard these words, her mind also rumbled.
My mother's illness cannot be delayed any longer and must be treated soon.
However, it costs 50,000 Mora...
This amount is enough to overwhelm poor families like theirs.
Ningguang can usually earn 1,000 Mora a day.
That's when business is good.
Business is bad and I have no money at all.
Even if business is good every day and you can earn a thousand Mora every day,
You would have to go without food and drink for 50 days to save enough money for the medicine.
Ningguang doesn't mind working harder to make money.
But can the mother wait until that time?
Looking for someone to borrow money?
But who will lend it?
Who else can I borrow from?
Brother Amon?
No, I just met him, how can I borrow money from him?
What's more, it's 50,000 Mora.
Ningguang felt helpless and hopeless.
At this time, Ningguang's mother also woke up from her coma.
Ningguang didn't have time to think about anything else and immediately went forward to ask, "Mom, how are you feeling now?"
Ningguang's mother did not answer, but her eyes were wet. She shook her head gently: "Child, I'm sorry..."
Tears silently flowed down the mother's cheeks, and she heard what the old doctor had just said.
"We can't afford to treat this disease if we don't treat it."
"It can be cured. It's definitely curable." Ningguang saw her mother crying, and she started crying too.
"Mom, don't cry, we can definitely find a way!"
Ningguang wanted to comfort her mother.
There was no way she would give up on her mother, no matter what.
Ningguang's mother reached out and stroked Ningguang's pretty face, wiping away her daughter's tears.
At the same time, she forced a smile: "I cried just because I felt regretful..."
"I didn't see my little Ningguang grow up."
"I'm sorry, mom didn't take good care of you. You've been suffering with me since you were little."
"If I'm gone, bury me with your father..."
Ningguang's mother's tone was as if she was explaining her final wishes.
Because she also knew that she didn't have much time left.
However, Ningguang interrupted her mother before she could finish.
"I'm not doing it, don't even think about leaving me!"
"There is a way, there must be a way!"
Ningguang said as she stood up to get the food Amon had given her.
"Mom, don't worry, let's eat first."
"I also need to eat, so that I can have the energy to go out and find ways to make money later!"
Ningguang was also determined to cure her mother's illness.
If time is not enough, then work day and night.
It's definitely not too late!
Seeing Ningguang being so stubborn, the mother had no choice but to sigh.
She knew her daughter's character. Once she made up her mind to do something, she would never compromise easily.
Well, let's go with my daughter.
Ningguang is still young now, and many things are not as simple as she imagined...
At this time, Ningguang's mother saw the packaging of Wanmin Hall. She was stunned at first, and then surprised.
"Girl, are these the meals from Wanmin Hall?"
"Why did you buy such expensive food?"
Ningguang also explained: "Today I met a big brother named Amon, he is very kind to me."
"He also traded these two meals with me."
Ningguang said as she opened the package.
Then she saw a heavy bag.
When I opened it, it was Mora!
Ningguang counted it briefly and found it was exactly 50,000 Mora!
