Chapter 294 Serious
Xu Manyue forced it into his hand and said, "Here, you are going to the city this time, you can't do it without some money."
"What if there's something urgent and I need money?"
Shen Xiaoshan was silent for a moment, but finally accepted it. "Thank you, Aunt San. When my parents come back, I will ask them to return the money to you."
Xu Manyue was about to say no, but Shen Xiaoshan turned around and walked out.
She looked at his back as he left and couldn't help shaking her head.
I don’t know who this child takes after. Although he looks similar to the men in the Shen family, his personality is completely different.
No, this taciturn personality is a bit like Shen Jingming.
However, Shen Jingming is not taciturn, he just has a cold personality. In this family, he is nicer to the old lady and Shen Jianping.
Thinking of the man thousands of miles away, Xu Manyue couldn't help but look at the things the man had sent back to her house.
All kinds of things.
From children's clothes to toys.
She could tell from Shen Jingming's actions that he cared about his child.
But from the letters, he basically said the same words every time, whether it was to her, the children, or this family.
Every time she saw almost the same letter, Xu Manyue sometimes couldn't help but wonder if Shen Jingming didn't expect to have children and didn't care about this family.
But when she saw what he sent back, she gave up the idea.
Simply stop worrying.
Shen Jingming is just like that. Since they got married, she has hardly spent more than a month together with him. It is normal that they have no feelings for each other.
As long as he gave her the money and things, she didn't want to worry about feelings.
Most couples nowadays have gone through the same thing as them.
At this time, Lin Luoxia walked out of the house and handed a small piece of clothing to Xu Manyue.
"Third sister-in-law, I made this for Baozhu when she was born, but she didn't use it later. I see that your belly is pointed and you like spicy food, so I guess it's a girl."
"It's just right, this dress comes in handy." As she spoke, she handed the small dress in her hand to Xu Manyue.
Xu Manyue glanced at the children's clothes in front of her and did not reach out to take them. She shook her head and politely refused.
"No need, sister-in-law. The material of this dress looks pretty good. You can modify it with other fabrics and give it to Baozhu."
"As for me, I've already prepared a lot of clothes for the children, which is enough."
Lin Luoxia understood that the other person didn't want it. She glanced at Xu Manyue's belly, which was still pointed, and quickly looked away.
"It's okay, since you don't want it, forget it."
County town, hospital.
Since I learned from the doctor that the old lady's condition was extremely serious and she had to be hospitalized for observation for two or three months, and there was no guarantee that she could be saved.
The two brothers of the Shen family and Mrs. Shen were silent.
Hospitalization not only means that the old lady's condition is serious, but also means that it will cost a lot of money. Perhaps even if the entire Shen family is emptied, it will still be difficult to save the person.
The doctor has just explained this matter to them in detail. The doctor suggested that the patient should be hospitalized for observation for at least two months. As for what happens after that, it depends on the situation and the family members themselves.
However, they are from the countryside, do not have urban household registration, and are not workers, so the cost of medical treatment is very expensive.
The doctor hopes that they can collect the money as soon as possible to facilitate subsequent treatment.
According to the preliminary diagnosis, they now need to collect about one hundred fifty-eight yuan and seventy cents.
In this era when pork costs only 70 or 80 cents per pound, medical expenses of more than 150 yuan are almost more expensive than a 200-pound fat pig.
At this time, the old lady had been transferred to the ward and her life was temporarily saved.
Mrs. Shen and the two brothers of the Shen family sat in front of the hospital bed, thinking about this astronomical figure, and they all fell silent.
"Second brother, what do you think we should do with this money?" Boss Shen spoke after a long while.
Logically, he is the eldest brother and should make the decision on this matter.
But the second brother always has a lot of ideas, so he had no choice but to ask the second brother.
Shen Lao Er was silent for a moment. "Mom was widowed when she was young. She raised us brothers by herself with great difficulty. Even if we have no conscience, we can't ignore her."
"This money must be raised, and this person must be saved."
"As for where the money comes from, there must be some in Mom's room. I can come up with 48 yuan. Brother, sister-in-law, how much can you two come up with?"
As soon as money was mentioned, Mrs. Shen became anxious instantly. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a look from Boss Shen.
"Shut up, we men are talking, you women have nothing to do with it."
After teaching his wife a lesson, Boss Shen looked at his second brother and sighed.
"Second brother, I, your eldest brother, only know how to farm and work. I don't know anything else, and I'm not as good as you guys. To be honest, your eldest sister-in-law and I have saved up private money for more than ten years, but we only saved eight or nine yuan."
They haven't divided up the family property yet, and the money they earn from work every year is given to the old lady for safekeeping.
Because the third child has a job, he has to pay part of his salary for household expenses. As for those who are unemployed, they can only earn money by working.
Over the past ten or twenty years, it has been a great achievement for them to save eight or nine dollars.
The second brother can take out forty or fifty yuan in one breath. This is his private skill. Although he is envious, he really doesn't have the ability to coax women.
Thinking of this, Boss Shen suddenly felt that his elder brother was acting so cowardly.
His three younger brothers were more capable than him. Even the fourth brother, who was the least capable at the beginning, became an apprentice in a machinery factory. As long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to become a regular employee and become a city dweller in the future.
He is the only one who is doing the worst and the most pathetic.
Thinking of this, Boss Shen sighed again, "This money is all the savings of your sister-in-law and me. We will not keep a single cent and use it all to treat mother's illness."
Mrs. Shen bit her lip, her heart was bleeding, and she wanted to stop it immediately.
Even though it's only eight or nine yuan, she saved it privately to use for her son's marriage in the future.
Taking it all out at once is no different from cutting off her flesh.
However, the man is the boss of this family, and she has no right to object.
Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately said, "Wait, you two brothers can't just pay for this money. Our third brother and his wife both have jobs, especially the third brother. Any money he gives will be enough for mother's treatment."
"And the fourth child, he's also a employed person. Even if he doesn't have money now, he can owe the money first. It's impossible for his mother to love him for so many years and not give him a penny."
As soon as these words were spoken, Boss Shen and Second Boss Shen looked at each other, and they already had a plan in mind.
The third brother is now the deputy regiment commander, and his monthly salary is more than 100 yuan. His two months' salary is enough to pay for his mother's medical treatment.
Of course, they definitely wouldn't let him pay for it all, but if it wasn't enough, as a member of the family, he naturally had to pay the difference.
