I'm in love

After the concert ended, no matter how Senior Brother Lin advised, begged, or even pleaded, Guan Sui'er always shook her head firmly and refused. Before this, she had made a plan to seriously consider the possibility of taking her relationship with Senior Brother Lin to the next level as soon as the internship was over, but now everything has changed - at this concert, a strange man just smiled back at her, and she fell deeply in love with him! If this man came to confess his love to her at this moment, I'm afraid she would nod and agree without hesitation no matter what conditions he put forward.

Because of this, Guan Sui'er knew that she must not accept the gift or kindness from Senior Brother Lin. Because she was clearly aware of her true thoughts and feelings, she must not give Senior Brother Lin any wrong hints or hopes, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, it is wise to make a quick decision rather than a long one!

Fan Shengmei was sitting at her desk when her phone suddenly rang. She looked down and saw that it was a text message notifying her of her salary. She quickly clicked on the message, confirmed the amount, and then skillfully operated the computer, preparing to transfer 3,000 yuan to her parents.

After completing the transfer, Fan Shengmei sighed softly, seeming reluctant to part with the money, but helpless under the pressure of her family. She quietly opened WeChat and joined the group, wanting to complain to her friends.

Fan Shengmei sent a message: "Sisters, I just received my salary. After paying the rent, I feel my wallet is almost empty again. I really miss the time when I didn't have bank cards. At that time, every penny was real money. Now, no matter how much salary I receive, it is just cold data on the screen, as illusory as floating clouds."

Qiu Yingying quickly replied: "Alas, Fuyun is better off than me! Our company hasn't paid our salary yet, it's really frustrating!"

Guan Juer then said: "You are all fine, but I am the worst off. The landlord raised the rent all of a sudden, and my internship salary in Shanghai is simply a drop in the bucket, not enough at all, so I had to shamelessly ask for help from my family. These days during the internship are so hard to endure..."

Qiu Yingying grumbled with a worried look on her face: "I feel like the money I earn is never enough to spend! I guess this month's salary will just stay in my account for a short while in the form of data, and then it will go to the landlord's account without hesitation."

After hearing this, Fan Shengmei sighed helplessly: "Alas, it is really true that 'the money has flown away on the yellow crane, and the white clouds have drifted away for thousands of years'! I originally thought that I could save some money and buy something during the holidays when there are discounts, but now it seems that there is basically no hope."

At this moment, Fan Shengmei, who had just finished get off work and was about to take the subway home, saw a call from her sister-in-law on her mobile phone screen. She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

I only heard my sister-in-law's anxious voice from the other end of the phone: "Hello! Shengmei, your brother is locked up in there, and that family wants to ask him for medical expenses! This... They came to our house and made a fuss all night yesterday, and Lei Lei was scared and kept crying. Your mother came this morning to take Lei Lei to work in the fields, and they have blocked my door until now, and I can't even go to work. I really didn't expect that family to have so many brothers! They said that they will break your brother's leg when he gets out. What should I do, Shengmei..."

Fan Shengmei said helplessly: "What else can we do? Apart from calling the police, there seems to be no better way! After all, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Mrs. Fan slapped her forehead as if she had just woken up from a dream, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, I was so anxious that I almost forgot that I could call the police if you hadn't reminded me. Shengmei, you see, the medical expenses alone have already cost more than two thousand, plus the subsequent loss of work, nutrition fees, and dressing fees, etc., this time it will cost at least seven or eight thousand to solve the problem!"

As Mrs. Fan spoke, she looked at Fan Shengmei with pleading eyes and continued, "Shengmei, your salary is higher than ours. When our family encounters difficulties, we still have to rely on you in the end. How about this, can you help us prepare 6,000 yuan for emergency? Don't worry, I won't borrow all from you. I will find a way to get the rest together later."

Fan Shengmei frowned and said with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Sister-in-law, I really have no money this month. I just paid the rent for next quarter, and now the money left in my hand is only enough for me to eat and take the bus to get off work. You should think of other ways."

Mrs. Fan responded anxiously, "Amei! If I had a way, why would I come to you? I'm a country girl with no skills. You're the only one in our family working in the big city, you must have some savings. Just look through your savings book, you can definitely take out a few thousand or tens of thousands, right? Didn't you always do this before? You must help us this time, Shengmei!"

Fan Shengmei felt sad when she heard her sister-in-law's words, but she was really at the end of her rope. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "Sister-in-law, I know you are in a difficult situation, but I really don't have any extra money now. My monthly expenses are also very high, and I still have to pay my credit card bills..."

Before Fan Shengmei could finish, Mrs. Fan interrupted her: "Okay, okay, I know it's not easy for you. But there's nothing we can do about it! I tell you, long-distance calls are too expensive, so I won't say any more to you. Call me when you find the money within three days, okay?" After saying that, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

Fan Shengmei stood there blankly, holding her phone, feeling mixed emotions. She felt a huge pressure, but she was powerless. Facing the plight of her family, she didn't know what to do...
