Chapter 98 A knock on the door late at night!
While every family was having dinner at home, Qin's mother looked at Qin's father lying on the bed in Qinjia Village, Changping, with tears in her eyes, and said to him with a choked voice: "Master! There's no way you can endure it like this. How about we go to the city to borrow some money from Huai Ru and then go to the hospital?”
Father Qin, who was lying on the bed, heard Qin's mother's words, endured the pain in his abdomen, and said in a very weak tone: "Damn it! What kind of character is Huai Ru's mother-in-law? It's not like you don't know. Let's go find Huai Ru." Ru, isn’t that embarrassing Huai Ru?”
When Qin's mother heard what Qin's father said, she saw that Qin's father was sweating in pain, and said to Qin's father distressedly: "Master! Mr. Xiao at the entrance of the village has said that if his medicine has no effect after taking it, you must It’s not an option to go to a big hospital in the city for treatment.”
"Mom! My second uncle is here!" Just as Qin's mother was trying to persuade Qin's father to go to the city for medical treatment, Qin Huairu's eldest brother hurried into the house from outside and shouted to Qin's mother.
Qin Huairu's second uncle heard the news and walked into Qin's father's room. After seeing Qin's father lying on the bed with a face full of pain, he asked Qin's mother with concern: "Sister-in-law! What's wrong with my eldest brother!"
Mother Qin heard her brother-in-law's inquiry, looked at her husband with a face full of pain, and introduced with a heavy heart: "Second brother! Your eldest brother came back from work and said he had a stomachache. I asked Huai Ren to go to the entrance of the village and invite Mr. Xiao to come and take a look at the house. Doctor Xiao gave your elder brother some medicine and said that if the symptoms cannot be relieved after taking the medicine, he must be sent to a big hospital in the city. "
"I don't have much money at home now. I want to go to the city to borrow some from Huairu, but your eldest brother would rather support himself at home than let me go to Huairu. What do you think I should do?"
When the second eldest son of the Qin family heard the situation introduced by Qin's mother, he suddenly felt angry and scolded Qin's father dissatisfied: "Brother! Your illness is so serious, and you still want to embarrass Huairu!"
After the second son of the Qin family said this, he immediately ordered Qin Huairu's eldest brother: "Huairen! Hurry to the village chief's house and borrow the team's ox cart. We will send your father to the city for treatment overnight."
When Qin Huairen heard the instructions from the second son of the Qin family, he immediately nodded and replied: "Second uncle! I will go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart now."
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
At around nine o'clock in the night, when all the residents of the courtyard fell asleep, a rapid knock on the door suddenly broke the silence in the front yard.
Yan Bugui, who was sleeping at home, heard a rapid knock on the door outside the house. He subconsciously opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. While getting dressed, he complained: "It's so late. Who is knocking outside?" Door? ”
Yan Bugui got dressed, opened the door, walked behind the courtyard door, and asked outside the gate: "Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so late?"
Qin Huairu's second uncle heard the dissatisfied inquiries coming from the courtyard and immediately shouted to the courtyard: "Comrade! We are from Qin Huairu's natal family. I am Qin Huairu's second uncle. Something happened in Qin Huairu's family." Please help me call Qin Huairu.”
Yan Bugui learned that the person who knocked on the door was Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, so he took out the key and opened the door. When he saw the second son of the Qin family standing outside the door, he asked curiously: "Huairu, her second uncle" ! You came to see Qin Huairu so late. Do you know what happened? "
The second son of the Qin family heard Yan Bugui's words and quickly introduced him to Yan Bugui: "Comrade! Huairu's father is seriously ill. We sent him to the city overnight for treatment. Please call Huairu for me."
When Yan Bugui learned that Qin Huairu's father was ill, he did not hesitate. He quickly said to Qin Huairu's second uncle: "Huairu, her second uncle, Huairu should have gone to bed by this time. Come with me. I Take you to call her.”
As Yan Bugui said this, he led Qin Huairu's second uncle through the Moon Gate to the door of Jia's house in the middle courtyard. While knocking on the door, he shouted inside: "Huairu! Wake up quickly, your second uncle I have something important to ask you.”
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
Qin Huairu, who had just laid down, heard a knock on the door first, and then Yan Bugui's shout. When she learned that her second uncle had come to the city to look for her, she suddenly lost all sleep and hurriedly He sat up from the bed and answered while getting dressed: "Third uncle! Just wait a moment, I will open the door right away."
"Squeak!" The door opened. Qin Huairu took advantage of the moonlight and saw Yan Bugui and his second uncle standing outside the house. He immediately asked the second son of the Qin family: "Second uncle! Why did you come to the city overnight? Are you from my house?" What happened?" The second son of the Qin family immediately asked Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu introduced: "Huairu! Your dad came back from work today and suddenly felt unwell. We sent him to the hospital in the city overnight. The doctor said that your dad had some kind of tail inflammation and needed to have surgery immediately. The surgery fee It costs more than fifty yuan.”
"Your father didn't let us come to you, but the money we had together wasn't enough, so the second uncle took it upon himself to come to you to borrow some."
When Qin Huairu learned that her father was seriously ill and needed surgery, she immediately became anxious and said to the second eldest son of the Qin family: "Second uncle! Wait for me for a while. I'll change some clothes and then go with you." Hospital.”
The reason why Qin Huairu's father stayed at home and was unwilling to go to the city for treatment was because he knew that Qin Huairu's mother-in-law was not an easy person to get along with.
But the cost of treatment in the hospital was too high, and the folks who sent Qin's father to the city were all farmers digging in the soil. Everyone's money was pooled together, which was not enough to cover the cost of the operation.
Because there was really no other way, the second son of the Qin family had to come to Qin Huairu to borrow money overnight. After all, the married daughter was the one who threw the water away.
When the second son of the Qin family heard what Qin Huairu said, he thought of the cost of the operation and reminded Qin Huairu: "Huairu! The cost of the operation is still fifty yuan short, so remember to bring the money."
Although Qin Huairu can keep his salary in the future, this month's salary has not been paid yet, and Qin Huairu now only has less than ten yuan left.
Qin Huairu, who was changing clothes, heard what the second son of the Qin family said, and her first thought was to borrow money from Jia Zhang. When she thought of Jia Zhang's wild character, she quickly gave up this idea and decided to go to another courtyard to find him. Jia Dongming borrowed money.
After being woken up, Jia Zhang found out that Qin Huairu's mother-in-law had come to borrow money so late at night. She felt displeased with Qin Huairu. Just when she was about to scold Qin Huairu, she suddenly thought of Jia Zhang. Dongming's warning could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and swallow the words that came to his mouth.
After Qin Huairu got dressed, she immediately walked out of Jia's house and said to the second son of the Qin family who looked anxious: "Second uncle! Wait for me here for a while, I will go to the uncle to borrow some money, and then go to the hospital with you. ”
Qin Huairu said, quickly walked to the door of the other courtyard, stretched out her hand to push the door open, saw the house with the light on, ran to the door of Jia Dongming's house, reached out and knocked on the door, and shouted into the house Said: "Uncle! Are you asleep?"
Jia Dongming, who was leaning on the bed and reading a book, heard Qin Huairu's anxious inquiry from outside the house. He immediately put down the book in his hand and asked outside the house: "Huairu! What's the reason for you to see me so late?"
Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongming's inquiry and asked Jia Dongming anxiously: "Uncle! Can you lend me some money? My dad is seriously ill and needs surgery. He is now in the hospital waiting for money to save his life."
When Jia Dongming learned that Qin Huairu's father was ill, he immediately reached out to open the door and asked Qin Huairu: "Huairu! What disease does your father have? Why does he need surgery?"
Qin Huairu, who was concerned about her father's safety, had a worried expression on her face when Jia Dongming asked about her father's illness, and replied in a very nervous tone: "Uncle! My second uncle said it was tail inflammation, but I don't know the details. , but the doctor said that surgery is needed immediately.”
"The doctor said that the cost of the operation will cost more than fifty yuan, and I only have a few yuan left, so I want to borrow some from you, and I will pay you back slowly after my salary is paid."
When Jia Dongming heard the situation introduced by Qin Huairu, he immediately understood that Qin's father had appendicitis. In later generations, this disease was just a very common disease, but in this era when medicine was not very developed, it was a Diseases that can kill people.
At this moment, Jia Dongming no longer hesitated, immediately went back to the house to get the keys to the bicycle, and said to Qin Huairu with a serious face: "Huairu! Let's go! Let's go to the hospital right away."
