Chapter 4: A Penny Can Make a Hero
Kong Yizhang stood up when he heard this, but he thought of something and suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Where are you?"
Liu Chuxue looked around calmly and said in a low voice, "Baiye Commune Post Office."
"I'll come find you in an hour and a half. I'd also like to ask you to help me share some of the things I need to bring."
Liu Chuxue naturally understood what he meant: "No problem."
After hanging up the phone, Kong Yizhang hurried to gather people. He knew that something must have happened to Fu Yancheng, otherwise he would not take the risk of sending someone to pass the message. After all, they had said before that this code would not be used unless it was absolutely necessary.
Liu Chuxue, who left the post office, already had a plan in mind. Since her aunt was unkind, she shouldn't blame her for being unjust.
She first went to school, explained the family situation to her class teacher, and then asked for a week's leave.
After that, I walked around the classroom, greeted a few classmates I got along well with, and specifically asked the only male classmate in the class who had a watch about the time before leaving the school.
After that, he quickly ran to the township health center.
When she arrived, the old couple of the Liu family had already left, and the original owner's mother was wiping tears in the corridor outside the ward.
Seeing Liu Chuxue coming over: "Why are you here?"
"I was worried about my father, so I asked for leave from my class teacher."
When Liu's mother heard this, tears started to flow again. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, fearing that her husband in the ward would hear it.
Liu Chuxue glanced into the ward and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what's going on now?"
Mother Liu wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve and choked up, "The doctor at the health center told us to go to a higher-level hospital for treatment. They also said it would be best to go to the city for treatment. The reservoir construction site said it was not working hours, so they would only cover half of the treatment costs.
I asked the old director of the health center, and he said your father's injury is quite serious, and he needs to put in steel nails or something, which will probably cost at least two or three hundred yuan, and there is no guarantee that it can be cured, not to mention what will happen next. But your grandparents said that the family can't afford that much money. "
As he spoke, tears began to flow again.
Liu Chuxue heard this and said, "Mom, no matter how much it costs, this disease must be treated, and we can't delay it for too long, otherwise we'll miss the best time for treatment."
Liu's mother knew the situation, but her parents-in-law said they had to go home to discuss the matter. She was a good cook who could not do anything without the right ingredients, and she had no one to discuss it with, so she was almost going crazy.
Although Liu Chuxue was not the original owner, she occupied someone else's body after all: "Mom, don't worry. Since the reservoir said they would give half of the medical expenses, even if the family can't afford much, it's impossible for them to not give a penny. I'll go to my sister's place and see if I can borrow some from my brother-in-law. A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine, right?"
When Liu's mother heard what her second daughter said, she also felt reassured. She knew she couldn't run away any longer: "Then mom should go back to the village and see if she can borrow some from the villagers. We can't leave all the treasures at home."
The deal was settled, and Liu Chuxue entered the ward. Looking at the haggard-looking man lying on the bed, she felt mixed emotions.
It is true that a penny can make a hero fall. No matter what era it is, you can't take a single step without money.
Feeling someone approaching the bed, Father Liu turned his head and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Chuxue, why are you here?"
Thinking of something, he quickly added: "Dad is fine, you should go back to school."
My second daughter will graduate from high school in a few months, and I can't let my presence affect her studies. If she doesn't get a diploma by then, all her studies will be in vain. Thinking of my own situation, I clenched my hands hidden under the quilt in frustration.
