That morning, Dr. Jin took his toiletries and came to the faucet, seeing Aunt Lan working, he opened his mouth and said: “A Lan, good morning!”
Aunt Lan smiled and replied: “Dr. Jin, good morning.”
Dr. Jin put down his toiletries and said: “Why are you working so early? Don't work too hard, take care of your health.” Dr. Jin said as he turned on the faucet to get water.
Aunt Lan tied her apron and said: “Dr. Jin, we are different from you, how can we be like you? It is true that the rich don’t know the suffering of the poor. Even if we break our fingers, it's just for two meals. Sigh! How can we not work hard?”
Aunt Lan had just finished speaking and was about to work when she saw Xiaomei sitting under the tree crying. Aunt Lan hurriedly walked over and asked: “Xiaomei, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?”
Dr. Jin, who was washing up, also saw Xiaomei crying and walked over to ask: “Are you feeling unwell?”
Seeing Xiaomei not speaking, just shaking her head, Aunt Lan quickly sat down beside her and said: “Don't keep shaking your head! Talk! What’s wrong? Tell me, see if your Aunt Lan can help you.”
Xiaomei cried and said: “My mom, she... .” Xiaomei couldn't finish before she started crying again.
Aunt Lan grabbed Xiaomei's hand and asked anxiously: “What happened to your mother?”
Dr. Jin also asked anxiously: “Did your mom pass away? Don't be too sad, everyone will have this day.” Aunt Lan heard Dr. Jin’s words and looked at Xiaomei with tears in her eyes.
Xiaomei looked at Dr. Jin with confusion as she cried: “What does passing away mean?”
Dr. Jin said after hearing this: “Is your mother, is she?” Dr. Jin said this with reluctance, while making hand gestures on the ground.
Aunt Lan’s instinctual reaction was to say: “Passed away!”
Xiaomei cried even harder after hearing this, saying loudly as she cried: “No way! My mom didn't pass away, she is very sick. She wrote a letter saying that she wanted me to send her 780,000 for medical expenses. But I can't even take care of myself, how can I have money to send to her?”
Aunt Lan heard this, and quickly patted Xiaomei's shoulder to comfort her, looking up at Dr. Jin, she saw Dr. Jin beckoning her, Aunt Lan got up and followed Dr. Jin to the side, Aunt Lan stammered: “That, that.”
Dr. Jin saw Aunt Lan there, unable to speak in a hurry, so he said: “Where can we get so much money? Otherwise, we’ll go door to door and see if everyone can help.”
Aunt Lan agreed: “This is a good idea! Although everyone is poor, if everyone helps a little, there will be some money for Xiaomei to send back. Dr. Jin, let's go then.” The two of them went door to door asking.
After Dr. Jin and Aunt Lan asked around, Dr. Jin looked at the money in his hand and sighed, saying: “We’ve asked everyone, although each household helped a little, there is only five thousand yuan, which is still far from the money Xiaomei’s mother needs for medical treatment.”
Aunt Lan also sighed: “Sigh! Only A Yu’s house is left. Even if we ask, we won't get much. This is everyone's heart.” Aunt Lan finished speaking and went to Li Yu’s house with Dr. Jin. Coming to the door of Li Yu’s house, Dr. Jin knocked on the door.
Li Yu was still in the room, cuddling with Ah Xiang. He couldn't hear the knock at all.
Aunt Lan saw that Dr. Jin’s knock was unanswered, she patted her head and said: “Dr. Jin, I just remembered, at this time, A Yu is still sleeping, you should not be able to hear you knocking.”
Dr. Jin nodded after hearing this, then shouted at the door of Li Yu’s house: “A Yu, are you awake? I have something to ask you.”
Li Yu, who was in a dream, vaguely heard someone calling him. He slowly woke up from his sleep, then rubbed his eyes, sat up in a daze, and as soon as he sat up, he heard a sound again, as if Dr. Jin was calling him. Li Yu got up, put on his clothes and left the room.
After Dr. Jin called out a few times at the door, he saw the door of Li Yu's house slowly open.
As soon as Li Yu opened the door, he saw Dr. Jin. Aunt Lan was behind him. Li Yu leaned lazily against the door and asked: “Dr. Jin, Aunt Lan, good morning, what can I do for you?”
Dr. Jin was a little embarrassed and said: “A Yu, I'm sorry to wake you up so early, the thing is, Xiaomei’s mother is sick and needs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan for medical expenses. She wrote a letter to Xiaomei asking her to send money back, but Xiaomei has just arrived in the provincial capital and doesn’t have that much money. So we wanted to ask if everyone can help raise some money for Xiaomei to send back.”
Li Yu nodded: “I see, how much have the neighbors raised?”
Aunt Lan said: “Now they have collected five thousand yuan in total. A Yu, you’re the last one. Just give what you can, everyone is having a hard time.”
Li Yu heard this, went back to his room and found a secluded place, took out 80,000 yuan from the system space, then walked to the door and handed it to Dr. Jin, saying: “I have 80,000 yuan here. Aunt Lan, Dr. Jin, you just return the money you raised to everyone. Everyone is having a hard time.”
Dr. Jin took Li Yu's money and stared at Li Yu in a daze. After a while, he said: “A Yu, I know you mean well and want to help Xiaomei, but you also need to be realistic. You gave so much money at once, how will you live afterwards?”
Li Yu smiled and patted Dr. Jin's shoulder and said: “Dr. Jin, don't worry. It’s just 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Everyone is so poor, they are all helping, so why can’t I help? Just take it. Return everyone’s money.”
Dr. Jin and Aunt Lan were very impressed by Li Yu's character. They bowed to Li Yu as a sign of gratitude. Li Yu hurriedly reached out and helped them up, saying: “Dr. Jin, Aunt Lan, you are embarrassing me. I am still young, you bow to me, this is shortening my lifespan!”
Dr. Jin and Aunt Lan laughed after hearing this. Dr. Jin said: “Since you said that, A Yu, I’ll transfer your money to Xiaomei.” Dr. Jin finished speaking, then saw Li Yu nod, indicating that he understood. Then, he left with Aunt Lan.
Li Yu watched Dr. Jin and Aunt Lan leave, closed the door, and started his daily check-in.
[Check-in successful
Congratulations, host, you have received a large yellow croaker.

Li Yu was used to it, he went back to the bed in the room, and continued to cuddle with Ah Xiang.
