Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 296 Treatment Costs

Shen Jingming was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Second brother, I will remit the money to Man Yue right away. I'm not home right now, so you two can discuss it. It's more important to get Mom treated."

"I will pay whatever is due to me."

"If you don't have enough money, I can pay for it first."

Shen Lao Er's face froze slightly. He was not a fool, so he could naturally understand the third brother's hidden meaning.

He quickly suppressed his emotions and said, "Third Brother, we know that this time it's all up to you, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"It's because my eldest brother and I don't have jobs. We can only earn a few work points at home all year round. We can't make any money at all."

"Now I can't even afford the money for my mother's medical treatment."

"But don't worry, we will only spend the money you send back this time on mother's medical treatment. Your wife is at home looking after her."

Shen Jingming frowned slightly, "Okay, second brother, that's it. I'll go transfer the money first. If anything happens to mother, please call me in time."

"Also, go to my mother's room and see how much money is left at home."

Although he has not been at home to take care of the elderly in recent years, he still sends every month the money he is supposed to give. Even when the famine was so severe last year, he still sent an extra five dollars every month.

That’s more than a hundred yuan a year.

He didn't believe that the money was gone.

The phone hangs up.

Shen Laoer's face looked a little bad. He stood there in silence for a long time before returning to the hospital.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital gate, he saw Boss Shen and Shen Jianping rushing over, and the few people met at the hospital gate.

"Second brother, call third brother. What did he say?" Boss Shen paused and looked at his second brother.

Shen Lao Er shook his head, "What else can I say, Lao San is capable now, what can I say, let's wait and see."

"Wait for him to send money to his wife, and then ask her for the money."

Boss Shen and Shen Jianping frowned slightly, feeling that these words sounded strange.

"Second brother, what did the third brother say?" Boss Shen pulled them to a corner and asked. Shen Jianping followed him. "Yes, second brother, what did the third brother say?"

Shen Lao Er raised his hand and patted Shen Jianping on the head, forcing a smile, "Your third brother said that he will not pay less than what he should pay."

When Shen Jianping heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Third brother, there is nothing wrong with what you said."

"Brother, why do you look like this?" he was puzzled.

All in all, this family can be said to be supported by the third brother. If it weren't for the subsidy he sent back every month, their Shen family would not be able to live such a comfortable life.

Also, since my third sister-in-law started working, she has given part of her monthly ration of food coupons to her family.

Just based on the couple's contribution to the family, not to mention that the third brother does not take care of the elderly and the third sister-in-law does not have to work, even if they do nothing, it is normal.

Shen Laoer glanced at Shen Jianping and said nothing.

Boss Shen understood what the second brother meant, and he sighed.

I feel more and more uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, mom is the most important thing right now, nothing else matters."

"Fourth brother, how much money can you take out?" Boss Shen turned to look at Shen Jianping.

Shen Jianping rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a handful of colorful banknotes. "Brother, these are the eight yuan and eighty-seven cents I saved from being an apprentice in the city for six months."

"It's not much, but it's all I have."

His monthly salary is only more than 13 yuan. After deducting food, rent and various expenses, it is really not easy for him to save this money.

Boss Shen took the stack of broken banknotes, sat down on the ground, and began to count the money with his saliva on his fingers, one by one, over and over again, to make sure there was no problem.

Only then did he put the money into the pocket of his underwear.

"Leave this money with me first. Second son, go back home and see how much money mother has in her room. Then ask third son's wife to borrow some and see how much is still needed."

Shen Lao Er nodded, "Okay."

He actually wanted to go back and see how his wife was doing.

I didn't see her last time, and I don't know if she is okay.

After Shen Lao Er left, Shen Lao Da took Shen Jianping to the ward.

On the way there.

Boss Shen asked Shen Jianping how his life was at the machinery factory.

Shen Jianping thought for a moment and said, "It's tiring, but I'm definitely learning a lot. My master is also very kind to me. He said that as long as I work hard, I'll definitely be able to become a regular employee in two years, and my salary will increase."

Maybe, I can get a separate house in the future and bring my mother to the city to live a good life.

Boss Shen couldn't help but envy, "You are so lucky, don't forget your nephew Xiaoshan when you become rich in the future."

He is almost forty years old, and this is how his life will be, but his son is still young.

If they can't join the army in the future, even if they can go to the city to be an apprentice, it will be better than staying in the countryside for the rest of their lives.

Shen Jianping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoshan is my nephew. I grew up with him. If anything good happens, I will definitely think of him."

Soon, the two arrived at the ward.

Seeing Shen Xiaoshan was there, they were both stunned, "Why is Xiaoshan here?"

"Second Aunt and Third Aunt asked me to bring you some food. These are steamed buns and flatbreads that were just made this morning." Shen Xiaoshan explained as he took out the cloth bag in his hand.

Although it is cold, it is still edible if soaked in hot water.

It’s better than spending money and food coupons at a state-owned restaurant.

……

At this time, Qingshan Brigade, Shen family.

Shen Laoer rode the bicycle borrowed from Xu Manyue and quickly returned home from the city.

As soon as you enter the house.

He looked around and finally saw Lin Luoxia sitting under the eaves mending clothes. Shen Lao Er also breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and frowned slightly.

"What happened to you yesterday? Mom had such a big incident, and you didn't even come home. How will the eldest sister-in-law and the third daughter-in-law look at you?"

Lin Luoxia said nothing, but lowered her head and lifted up her trouser legs, revealing her still red and swollen ankles and the wound on her calves that was still bleeding.

Shen Lao Er looked at this scene and swallowed the words he wanted to say back down.

"How did you do this?" He asked with some difficulty, and squatted down to take a closer look.

Lin Luoxia shook her head and lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes. "I injured my leg and couldn't help mother. Mother...is she okay in the hospital now?"

Speaking of this, Shen Lao Er sighed and his mood became even worse.

"This time, I think we'll have to empty our family's savings, and we'll even have to go to the third brother and ask for some money to make up for the remaining loss."

Lin Luoxia was stunned for a moment, "What, why does it cost so much money?"
