sleepless tonight

Chapter 21
"How is it? Has she eaten?" After a while, I asked.

Tong Wangjun didn't reply to my words, so I couldn't help poking my head.

Chen Le still squinted his eyes, but he was breastfeeding, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Give me the bottle." Chen Le fell asleep again after eating, Tong Wangjun turned his head sideways and said to me.

"What's wrong?" I handed the baby bottle in my pocket to Tong Wangjun, "Xiao Le is sick and doesn't drink milk powder."

Tong Wangjun didn't speak to me, but twisted the bottle away: "Drink it."

"Ah?" I didn't understand what Tong Wangjun meant.

"I have to go to work in the afternoon, and I will express some milk later, and you can take it back for Xiaole to drink." Tong Wangjun said.

It turned out to be the case.

Suddenly, I felt a little ashamed of Tong Wangjun.

When I answered the phone, she must have been at work, and rushed over in half an hour. You can imagine how anxious she was, and the reason for all this was because I took Chen Le to the Tianqiao.

It was me who created the current situation, making Xiaole suffer and Tong Wangjun suffer.

"Is there any problem if you come here during work time?" I drank the milk in the bottle and handed the empty bottle to Tong Wangjun.

Tong Wangjun squeezed milk into the bottle, ignored me, and after a while, gave me the bottle, which was already full of breast milk.

I held it in my hand and it was still warm.

"The potion is about to run out, you still don't go out, what are you doing standing here?" Tong Wangjun said to me.

Tong Wangjun's expression clearly shows that he doesn't want to talk to me any more.

I pushed away the mother-baby room and came out with her one after the other. Xu Heng was standing outside. Seeing us coming out, he rushed to Tong Wangjun's side: "Are you okay?"

"Let's go." Tong Wangjun shook his head and handed Chen Le into my hands, "Chen Jin, I solemnly warn you, if you can't give A Ke and Xiao Le a good life, I will entrust a lawyer to take the money from you. Take custody of them."

"You are really a failure. I thought you would make progress after having a daughter, but you still can't support yourself like this. You idle around all day long, and you can't even take care of your own daughter. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Tong Wangjun scolded me again.

I was a little unconvinced: "Peace and safety are blessings, and being rich does not necessarily mean happiness."

"You still have the face to say this. Is Xiaole's current situation safe? Isn't it caused by your poverty?" Tong Wangjun glanced at me, "You can take care of yourself. If there is another time, I will send you a message." From a lawyer."

"I will not allow an irresponsible person to take care of my daughter. My daughter cannot be destroyed by you."

After saying this, Tong Wangjun and Xu Heng left together.

The nurse came over and pulled out the needle in Chen Le's hand. I took a cotton swab, pressed the needle hole in Chen Le's hand, and went to the medicine collection place.

After taking part of the medicine, I carried Chen Le out of the hospital.

"Where are you going, take a taxi?" A taxi stopped in front of me, and the driver asked me.

I shook my head, walked across the zebra crossing, and walked slowly towards home.

I don't have any money left on me, not even the money to take the bus. I'm really penniless now.

After walking for nearly half an hour, I arrived home.

There is a dish of cabbage on the table, and rice is kept warm in the rice cooker in the kitchen.

I didn't come back at noon, Chen Ke cooked the meal by himself.

I put Chen Le into the crib, touched her back, sweated a lot, although the rosiness on her face went down a lot, but the cough didn't go away, and occasionally she coughed a few times.

I picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, studied the usage and dosage of the medicine, prepared Chen Le's Pediatric Aminophenol Huang Namin Granules, and forced her to drink half a cup.

I fed the rest into her mouth, and she vomited it all up, and it was all over the clothes. I didn't dare to feed it anymore, so I wiped off the medicine stains around Chen Le's mouth and clothes.

Sitting beside the baby's bed, I looked at Chen Le and gave her a bottle. Her condition seemed to be better, but her cough still persisted. Even when she fell asleep, she still coughed a few times.

I don't know if this situation is normal or not, but I think there are still two days of injections to be given, and it should be much better after the remaining two injections are completed.

After all, it was only a day of injections.

I touched Chen Le's forehead, it seemed that it was not as hot as it was when I woke up in the morning.

Carefully moved the crib to the side of the bed, against the bed, I went out and knocked on the door of the woman next door.

"What's wrong?" The woman next door opened the door for me.

"Is your leg still not better?" I saw her limping and asked.

"It's better." The woman's words seemed to be perfunctory.

"By the way, do you want me to help you make some milk powder?" I asked for words.

"No, the child is gone." The woman shook her head.

"Not here?" I was stunned, "What happened?"

Instinctively, I thought something was wrong with the woman's child.

"Nothing happened, I'll see you off." The woman explained and glanced at me, "Do you want to come in and sit down?"

It was only at this time that I took a closer look at the woman. She was wearing cotton slippers under her feet, and she was covered with a beige down jacket that reached to her knees, and pajamas were on her calves.

She seemed to be sleeping just now.

This woman is quite laid-back. I don't see her working every day, and she is always knocking on the door. I am almost sure that she is being taken care of.

That man might have come and taken the child away.

"Your leg hasn't healed for so long, why didn't he take you to the hospital by the way when he took the child away?" I asked.

"Huh?" The woman looked at me strangely.

"It's nothing." I didn't say any more. After all, I'm not a good outsider, let alone such a sensitive topic.

Maybe the purpose of the man with the woman is not only the beauty and youth of the woman, but also because he wants a child?
Looking at it this way, women seem to be even more pitiful.

"I'll close the door if there's nothing else to do." The woman said, making gestures to close the door.

"No, no, I have something to do." I hurriedly said, pushing the door with one hand, not letting her close it.

"Borrow rice?" The woman glanced at me.

I smiled awkwardly, and said in the woman's half-smile eyes: "There is still rice at home, do you have any money left?"

"You want to borrow money?" the woman asked.

"Well, yes, 2000 yuan, do you have it?" I said, looking at her eagerly.

I have already used up the 2000 yuan given by my family. Chen Le still has two days to go for injections, and the money has not been paid, and I have some medicines, but I have not bought all of them.

After one injection, Chen Le's condition improved, but the coughing did not stop. The remaining two injections had to be given, and there was no delay. All I could think of was to ask a woman to borrow money.

"Don't you have any friends?" The woman looked at me.

"Yes." I said.

"Then you asked them to borrow it, how did you find me here?" The woman seemed to be tired from standing, and moved her feet.

"What you said, aren't we friends?" I smiled and pulled the relationship.

The woman rolled her eyes and glanced at me: "Do you know my name?"

I shook my head, never asked, and didn't want to ask.

"Don't you think it's weird to say I'm a friend without knowing my name?" the woman said.

"We are close friends, and the name is just a code name. You look like a fairy, like a fairy descending to earth, how can you be so vulgar? It's just 2000 yuan, and I will return it to you." I fought for it.

"Sorry, I'm dusty, I can't help you, you should go find your friend." The woman stepped back, "I'm tired, I'm going to bed."

"Don't." I took a step forward and grabbed the woman's hand, "You can't be so rude, you should help each other. I will cook for you, apply medicine for you, and make milk powder for you. To be a man, you must understand Thanksgiving is the only way to build a harmonious society, what do you think?"

The woman shook off my hand: "Did you think that today will come, so you are so courteous to me, just to ask me to borrow money?"

"How come? Am I that kind of person? It's really a special situation. I don't know who to ask for help except you." I said.

"Where are your friends?" The woman looked at me.

"I don't want to bother them." I said honestly.

"But you want to bother me, explaining that we are not friends, but you just said that we are friends." The woman found a loophole in my words.

This woman's logical ability is really strong. With such a good ability, maybe she can turn herself into a wife?

"I'm really in a hurry to use the money. How about lending me two thousand and adding five hundred, two thousand and five when I pay you back?" I calculated the interest.

The woman shakes her head.

"Three thousand, three thousand, at most one month, I will pay you back." I said, worried about Chen Le in the room, I was a little anxious, "My daughter is sick, I really have no choice but to ask you for help .”
