Chapter 51 Must save him!
In the 1970s, due to limited medical staff conditions, all medical equipment were old-fashioned mechanical products. However, even so, they were expensive. In addition, because there were no anesthesia machines or monitors, surgery depended entirely on the doctor's experience.
Gu Yuehuai's temples were swollen.
The company originally owed a foreign debt of 140 yuan, and now another debt of 135.6 yuan has arrived.
She took a deep breath. She couldn't come up with more than a hundred yuan in a short time, so she had to borrow it.
But who can I borrow from?
The first people who came to my mind were the relatives of the Gu family, my uncle and aunt who worked in a factory in the county. However, they had already asked for a loan when the house was built, and they have not yet paid it back. Given their tempers, they would definitely not lend me money again.
Aunt?
She treated the Gu family as scum to be avoided, so how could she be generous?
Gu Yuehuai held the expense slip tightly in his fingers. After a while, a person jumped out of his mind.
He Lanzhang!
She hadn't made any friends in either her previous life or this life. The only one who had the ability to make friends was He Lan, who had just given her a great unity seal with a wave of his hand yesterday.
However, the friendship between the two was not very deep. Even if He Lanzhang was kind-hearted, how could she ask to borrow so much money?
Gu Yuehuai then thought of the four boxes of treasures in the Sumeru space, and felt anxious and panicky about having a mountain of treasures but not being able to use them.
Gu Yuehuai half lowered her head, feeling tremendous pressure, but when she thought of Gu Ruihuai who was still lying on the hospital bed waiting for her, she took a deep breath, hurried out of the hospital, and found Wang Peisheng who was guarding the ox cart.
"Director Wang! I... I want to borrow some money from you. My second brother needs surgery for his injury, and the surgery will cost more than a hundred yuan. I really can't come up with so much money right now. Can you..." Gu Yuehuai gritted his teeth and said it all in one breath.
Wang Peisheng looked at Gu Yuehuai's pale and helpless face, and said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Gu, I don't have that much. I still have more than 30 yuan at home. Wait, I'll go back and get it for you!"
Having said that, Wang Peisheng drove the ox cart back.
Gu Yuehuai looked at his back, her heart filled with gratitude. However, more than thirty yuan was obviously not enough. Adding the twenty-odd yuan she had on her, she was still short of a full eighty yuan!
Her brows were tightly knitted together, and she was ready to go back and talk to the doctor to see if the remaining money could be extended for a few days so that she could have the surgery first and the wound could not be delayed for too long.
As soon as Gu Yuehuai turned around, he saw a strange yet familiar figure.
She was a woman in her fifties, wearing a grass green military coat and a pair of leather shoes. She was tall and decent-looking, with faintly visible crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and only the wrinkles between her eyebrows suggested that she had a bad temper.
Aunt?!
Gu Yuehuai never expected that after being reborn, the first person he would meet was not his uncle and second aunt, but his eldest aunt.
In the previous life, many members of their family died, and although the eldest uncle and second aunt still showed some consideration for them, they sent them food a few times. However, the eldest aunt ignored them and completely treated them as if she had no relatives at all.
But it's normal. The one their family offended was Tian Jing. At that time, Tian Jing had already married the governor's son and was about to make a big leap in the future. How could the eldest aunt offend Tian Jing for such insignificant things as them?
The events of his previous life flashed through his mind quickly, and Gu Yuehuai had no time to think about it. For the sake of his second brother, he could only seize the opportunity.
She must save him!
Gu Yuehuai ran over and stood in front of Gu Jinfeng, "Aunt!"
Gu Jinfeng was stunned. When she saw Gu Yuehuai's face clearly, her face darkened and she said with disgust: "Who is your aunt? Don't yell at me!"
It’s acceptable for the second child’s child to call her aunt, but the fourth child...does she have such a relative?
Gu Yuehuai didn't care about her contempt and disgust, and just said: "Comrade Gu, I..."
Gu Jinfeng took a half step back, distanced herself from Gu Yuehuai, and said in a cold voice: "Wait! My last name is not Gu, my name is Nie Peilan! If you want to borrow money, then I advise you not to open your mouth, don't block the road, and get out of the way!"
Gu Yuehuai stopped abruptly. Nie Peilan? In order to distance herself from the matter, she even changed her name? !
However, having said this, it is obvious that asking for money again would be humiliating.
Nie Peilan brushed the dust off her arms, made an expression of disgust, and walked around Gu Yuehuai.
Perhaps it was because they were making too much noise, and some whispers were heard around them. Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips, stopped thinking about it, and turned around to go back to find a doctor.
At this time, a young male voice with joy rang out: "Comrade Gu?"
Gu Yuehuai turned around and met He Lanzhang's sincere and clear eyes. She pursed her lips gently. Even though she had experienced a lot, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.
"Comrade Gu, why are you here?" He Lanzhang walked towards her quickly with a cheerful voice.
"I..." Gu Yuehuai's throat was a little dry and he opened his mouth.
He Lanzhang noticed her red eyes and the note in her hand at a glance: "Are you in trouble? It's okay, just tell me, I will help if I can!"
Gu Yuehuai's throat was blocked, and he looked up at He Lanzhang's handsome face, and suddenly remembered where his name came from.
He Lanzhang was actually his good friend!
She had heard him mention this name by chance, and thought that they were comrades in the army and had a close relationship.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuehuai took a deep breath and held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes: "Comrade He, my brother's leg was bitten by a wolf and he needs surgery. I'm still short of 80 yuan for the surgery. You..."
He Lanzhang looked at Gu Yuehuai's beautiful cat eyes with tears in them and frowned: "Give me the note, I'll go and hand it in."
Before Gu Yuehuai could react, he had already snatched the note from her hand and went to the nurse's station to pay the fee.
When you think there is no way out, there is always a way out.
He Lanzhang's not-so-broad shoulders and his aunt's heartless back seemed like two extremes.
Soon, He Lanzhang paid the fee and returned the stamped note to Gu Yuehuai: "It's paid, take it quickly, don't delay your brother's surgery."
Gu Yuehuai took the note and bowed to He Lanzhang. His voice was as clear as a mountain spring and full of gratitude: "Thank you, Comrade He. I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible! I will return the principal and interest!"
He Lanzhang was stunned for a moment, stared at Gu Yuehuai, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Go quickly."
"Thank you!" Gu Yuehuai thanked him again, not daring to delay any longer, and turned around and hurried to find a doctor.
He Lanzhang looked at her receding figure and suddenly smiled.
At this time, the friend who came with He Lanzhang came forward, slapped him on the shoulder, glanced in the direction he was looking, and asked suspiciously: "Lanzhang? What are you doing? Hurry up! Lao Cui is waiting for us!"
He Lanzhang suddenly came back to his senses, blocked his friend's gaze, and quickly pulled him upstairs: "Oh, let's go, let's go!"
