Volume 1, Chapter 533 Borrowing money? ? ?

He was sent to the hospital by the eldest brother of the Ning family. The eldest brother of the Ning family also knew about Gu Tong's situation and did not ask his younger brother to give money to Mr. Ning for treatment.

But the old man fell and the consequences were serious, so he was admitted directly to the ICU. The eldest brother of the Ning family was not in as good a condition as Ning's father.

But he was also a soldier and a high-ranking officer, but he had many children in his family and he already had five sons.

Most of the family savings had already been spent on their son’s marriage, and the remaining savings were not much.

During the more than half a month that Mr. Ning was in the ICU, the family savings were all spent. There was really no other way, so the eldest brother of the Ning family went to talk to Mr. Ning about the situation.

Father Ning felt guilty because he was unable to fulfill his responsibilities as a son due to Gu Tong's illness.

The eldest brother of the Ning family did not blame his younger brother, but allowed him to handle his own affairs with peace of mind.

If there was no other way, the eldest brother of the Ning family would not have come to him. To make matters worse, Ning's father could only borrow money.

The letter from Ning's father explained everything clearly, and when Grandpa Gu and Mother Gu saw it, they frowned.

The Ning family is also a noble family in Chengdu. Old Man Ning used to be a soldier, but later retired due to health reasons.

Mr. Ning is a righteous man, but his wife is a bit snobbish and prefers her son.

When Gu Tong got married, Old Lady Ning disliked the fact that Gu Tong only gave birth to two sons, and that she didn't give birth to enough children.

But due to Gu Tong's family background, she could only talk about it occasionally in a roundabout way and didn't dare to really offend him.

Gu Tong didn't care. After all, her family background was powerful, and her mother-in-law wouldn't dare to do anything to her anyway.

Besides, she was her mother-in-law. She was just a little talkative, but she didn't do anything to hurt her, so she naturally respected her.

Later, Mrs. Ning passed away, leaving only Mr. Ning, so he naturally lived with his eldest son.

Mr. Ning went out for a walk, but he missed a step and fell.

Fortunately, someone passing by found him and sent him to the hospital, otherwise he might not have been saved if he had been delayed any longer.

"Thank you for your hard work, kid."

Mother Gu stepped forward and took the hand of her eldest granddaughter-in-law (Chen Fangqing). Chen Fangqing shook her head and said that it was fortunate that her father-in-law's letter arrived in time, otherwise she would not know how to start the conversation.

"How is my father-in-law doing now?"

"Grandpa has woken up, but he still needs to be observed in the ICU..."

Chen Fangqing explained the family situation in detail, for fear that the Gu family would think that the Ning family was taking advantage of them.

"That's good, as long as you wake up."

Grandpa Gu also felt relieved and went to the room to get his passbook.

But the old couple didn't save much money, and they were willing to spend their monthly pension on their children.

At their age, they don’t need to worry about saving money for their son to get married. They can spend their monthly pension however they want.

Given their status and position, if they get sick the government will provide free treatment, and they don’t need to think about saving money for their retirement.

Whenever I get money, I buy things I like, or buy new clothes and toys for the younger generations in my family.

But even so, there is still 5,000 yuan saved, which is enough for Ning's father's emergency use.

But Grandpa Gu knew that his old man was sick and in the ICU, and that spending money would be like a bottomless pit, and the five thousand yuan might not be enough.

What's more, my daughter still needs to stay in the hospital, and she needs to be taken good care of after she is discharged.

Grandpa Gu took it out and gave it to Chen Fangqing, but the amount was still far from what Ning's father had said, as the situation on Grandpa Ning's side was a bit bad.

Although I woke up, I couldn't move my body and had no consciousness. I was no different from a wooden man.

If the treatment is really carried out, it would probably be enough to bankrupt the family.

"There's 5,000 yuan in this passbook. Ask your dad to take it for emergency use."

Chen Fangqing was relieved when he heard this. With this money, his family could relax for a while. Things were not going well at home during this period.

"Don't worry, your dad will take care of your mom's hospital bills. Our Gu family will take care of it."

"You've all worked hard, so don't worry your dad too much. If there's anything, we can solve it together."

Grandpa Gu also knew that if Father Ning had a way, he would not ask his father-in-law and mother-in-law for help. It seemed that Father Ning had no other choice.

"I'll send the remaining money to your father later. Take care of yourself and your mother first."

Mother Gu patted Chen Fangqing's hand to comfort her. Chen Fangqing nodded with red eyes.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, she was very anxious facing such a situation. Fortunately, she had help from her grandparents, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

Gu's mother went out and got out some bacon and asked her to take it home and eat it, telling her not to be reluctant to eat it to save money and then fall ill.

"Aunt, I can't have it."

"I didn't bring anything with me."

Chen Fangqing blushed a little. With the family's current situation, there was no spare money at all. It was good enough to be able to cover the family's expenses.

"What are you talking about? Just eat what your aunt gives you!"

"You take care of Xiaotong. What will you do if you collapse?"

"It's my duty to take care of my mother-in-law. She treats me very well."

Gu Tong always treats his daughters-in-law with care and never mistreats them, and the two daughters-in-law in the family are not afraid of living a hard life.

Chen Fangqing refused to accept it, and it was only after Grandpa Gu spoke that she accepted it with trepidation.

Chen Fangqing felt very embarrassed. She had been living in Gu's mother's yard in Kyoto to take care of her mother-in-law, and now she had to borrow money from the Gu family to help.

That’s fine, but the Gu family is still worried that I won’t be able to eat well. As a junior…

After everyone left, Mother Gu quickly called Father Gu and Hai Shi’s second son and told them everything about the Ning family.

And Ning's father was short of money, so she had no money and could only ask her two brothers for help.

When Father Gu heard about it, he called the Haishi Military Region and discussed it with Second Uncle Gu, who was able to come up with 2,000 yuan. When Mr. Gu found out, he had an idea in his mind and thought about his own passbook, and realized that there was still some money missing.

Father Ning needed 10,000 yuan. Grandpa Gu gave him 5,000 yuan, plus Uncle Gu's 2,000 yuan, which meant he still needed 3,000 yuan.

Gu's father and mother don't have much money. They were left with no money when the family split up. Now they only have the wages they earned in the past few years.

Usually, Gu's mother buys things for her grandchildren, subsidizes the family's daily expenses, and buys nutritional supplements for the two elderly people every month, which also costs a lot.

In addition, there are two pregnant women in the family, so I have to keep some money as a backup in case something happens and I can’t help.

After get off work, Gu's father went home to find Gu's mother and asked her to make the decision. The Ning family is Gu Tong's husband's family and the Gu family's in-laws, so naturally the Gu family will not ignore it.
