With 110,000 yuan raised, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Should that be enough for the treatment?

“This amount of money is definitely not enough. The surgery fee is just a small part of the cost. The real expense is in the subsequent treatment and examinations, which will cost at least two or three thousand yuan per month. Moreover, it's hard to say when the condition will be cured, so we need to prepare more money,” Tang Yuanyuan said slowly.

She wasn't going to let Sister Niu and Sister Niu off the hook; she was going to make them vomit it all out.

The relaxed atmosphere turned serious again. Where would they get the rest of the money?

Tie Dan's mother looked at Tie Dan again, hoping that her youngest son could do something.

Tang Yuanyuan spoke first, "Tie Dan and I will naturally do our part, it's our duty. But we are indeed in financial difficulty right now. How about this, let's use the money that our eldest and second eldest sisters owe us as medical expenses for Junjun and Zhuangzhuang. That adds up to 240,000 yuan. Add this 110,000 yuan, and the total will be 350,000 yuan, which should be about right."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they had money again.

Iron Egg's mother, however, was not so optimistic. "Where would your eldest and second eldest sisters come up with that much money? They have a heavy burden on them."

She actually wanted Tiedan to pay. To put it bluntly, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and a wrecked ship still has three pounds of nails. Even if her youngest son's family encountered some kind of "small chicken," they still had their savings. They couldn't possibly be completely unable to come up with any money.

But she had just been scolded by Niu Dazhu and was too embarrassed to speak up, so she could only keep it to herself. She felt terrible, thinking that her youngest son had become estranged from her and listened to his wife in everything, ignoring his own mother's words. She felt like she had raised this son in vain.

The atmosphere became tense again. Everyone's hearts, which had just settled down, jumped into their throats again. Indeed, Sister Niu's second sister also made a living from farming. How much money could she have? She certainly couldn't come up with tens of thousands of yuan all at once.

What's the point of having 240,000 if you can't get it? You're just wasting your time.

Tang Yuanyuan said softly, "It's okay if you can't come up with it right away. We've already raised enough for Zhuangzhuang's surgery. The treatment will last for several years. We can pay back the 240,000 yuan in installments. You can pay 1,000 yuan a month, which will add up to 2,000 yuan, enough for Junjun and Zhuangzhuang's medicine."

Uncle Niu nodded repeatedly, "Tiedan's wife's idea is good. I heard that city people do this when buying houses now. They borrow money from the bank and pay back a certain amount each month. Shuanzi bought a house a couple of years ago and has a lot of debt now!"

Shuanzi is Uncle Niu's youngest son, whose full name is Niu Tieshuan. He is considered the second most capable person in the Niu family after Tiedan. Of course, his studies are not very good. To date, the Niu family has only produced one educated person, Yadan.

Although Niu Tieshuan was not good at studying, he was intelligent and had good interpersonal skills. He was quick-witted and realized early on that farming was not very promising, so he went to work as a bricklayer on a construction site in the county town at the age of eighteen.

The Niu family is known for its strength, and Niu Tieshuan was also a skilled worker. After carrying bricks on construction sites for four or five years, he accumulated initial capital and connections. Niu Tieshuan then gathered a group of fellow villagers to work independently, and now he is a well-known contractor. He has bought a large house in the city, owns a car, and married a beautiful wife. He can be considered a winner in life.

Tie Dan's mother was still worried, "Tie Ying and the others don't even earn a thousand yuan a month. How are they supposed to feed their families? We can't just leave them without a way to survive!"

Tang Yuanyuan's smile faded. "Mom, the problem now is, if my eldest and second eldest sisters don't pay back the money, our Niu family's grandson will have no way to survive. Don't you feel sorry for your grandson?"

“But…they really don’t have any money…” Tie Dan’s mother said anxiously. Of course she felt sorry for her grandson, but she also felt sorry for her daughter. Both were her flesh and blood, and she felt sorry for both of them.
