Chapter 339
It was the neighbor’s aunt who took her and her mother to the hospital.
Along the way, the neighbor's aunt kept nagging and comforting the mother and daughter, telling them not to panic. At this critical juncture, they should first calm themselves, then check on the old man's injuries, and send grandpa's body for cremation after everything was settled.
The aunt also said that everyone has been neighbors for several years, and if their family really can't afford the medical expenses, the neighbors are willing to pool together to support them first.
Yunmian held her mother's icy hand and thanked the aunt obediently. Then she saw tears in her aunt's eyes through the rearview mirror. She felt a tear in her eye for a moment, but hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall.
Can't cry.
Mianmian needs to calm down. If you cry now, your mother will be even more sad.
The little boy, who had been whispering to himself not to cry all the way, couldn't hold back his tears when he arrived at the hospital and saw his grandfather's body in the cold storage. He could only hold his grandfather's skinny, cold hand and sob softly.
Clearly, grandpa was riding his tricycle that morning and promised her with a smile that he would come back early in the evening.
Grandpa was clearly still cooking rice and porridge in front of the stove this morning, so vivid and clear in the steaming white mist...
"Grandpa..." Yun Mian sniffed and finally wiped away her tears. She held her mother's and grandfather's hands, which were as cold as hers, and slowly touched her grandfather's face, which was already covered with a layer of light white frost.
The blood on his face had long since frozen, and the white sheet covering his body had a large red spot in the middle. Yun Mian didn't dare to reach out to uncover it, for fear of seeing her grandfather, who had been intact in the morning, now lying here in a miserable state with his body broken into two ugly pieces.
Those blurred blood and flesh must be more terrifying and ugly than my mother’s injured eye sockets.
"Grandpa, are you still in pain?" Yun Mian lay beside her grandfather's body, only daring to gently touch the blood-stained white sheet on his body with her hands.
She moved very gently, fearing that she might accidentally increase her grandfather's pain.
But the old man who used to comfort her gently, now could only lie here with a frosted face and a painful expression, unable to answer a single word.
Yun Mujin stroked his father's stiff and cold body inch by inch with his hands, and finally, he forced the pair of eyes on his face, which refused to close, to close little by little.
She said nothing. She couldn't even shed a tear because of sadness. She sat with her father in the morgue for a while. Then she took her daughter's hand, picked up her daughter who was curled up and sobbing softly, and walked out slowly with her.
She doesn't know yet how her mother's surgery went.
"You are the patient's family member, right? The surgery fee is not low. Do you have medical insurance? The medical insurance can give you a partial exemption. Take the payment slip and go there to pay the fee later."
Yun Mian took the surgical form from the sister. The many zeros on it made her dizzy.
She held the light surgical form in her hand, lowered her head and touched the five dollars in her pocket a little awkwardly, and was suddenly overwhelmed by the huge sadness.
She doesn't have that much money...
The policeman said that the person who hit my grandparents fled the scene. Even if we find him, it will take some time, and it is not certain whether he can come up with money.
Things seemed to have suddenly come to a standstill.
Yunmian and her mother sat in the busy yet deserted hospital corridor. She tried desperately to squeeze herself into her mother's arms, but her mother's arms seemed even colder, as if there was a hole in her heart, and only the sobbing cold wind poured in.
Her blood was coagulating inch by inch and she couldn't warm up at all.
"Mom, what should we do?" Yun Mian's eyes were no longer as bright as before. She sat beside her mother in a daze, not knowing what was in her messy head that made her unable to think of any solution.
Yun Mujin was also like a wooden person. When she heard her daughter's hoarse voice, she was like a living person breathing, and she slowly said: "...Mianmian, go outside and call a taxi to take Mom home."
Yunmian didn’t know what her mother would do when she got home, but she was just an indecisive child. When faced with such a thing, she was completely confused and could only listen to her mother.
Her mother asked her to stay in the hospital and wait for her grandmother to finish the operation.
Yunmian squatted obediently at the door of the operating room, holding her little self in her arms, imagining how she would take good care of her grandmother after she came out.
"Little boy, do you still remember me?" A slightly fat man appeared in front of her without her knowing.
Yunmian looked up slowly from a pair of shiny leather shoes, and finally stopped at that somewhat familiar face.
She recognized him; he was Yang Qi's uncle, a very, very rich man.
Yang Bin didn't mind her silence. Instead, he smiled and glanced at the door of the operating room. Then he said to her, "I just came to the hospital to do some business. I heard that your grandparents had a car accident. Your grandma's emergency surgery and follow-up treatment will cost a lot of money, right?"
"I can lend you the money first." His words successfully made the child, who was still in a daze just now, look up in an instant.
Noticing Yun Mian's gaze on him, Yang Bin smiled smugly and coaxed her, "But I also have a small request. If you agree, I will go and pay off all your grandma's medical expenses. How about that?"
It took Yun Mian a long time to understand his words in her blank mind.
Her instinct told her not to believe it, but the red emergency light in the operating room and the crumpled bill in her hand forced her to believe it.
"Okay, uncle, I agree to your request." The child stood up and stood against the wall, nodding slightly.
The other party's request was just for her to make a small and simple choice.
"Little friend, if you had to choose between your life and a sum of hundreds of thousands of dollars, what would you choose?" Yang Bin asked, pointing at the payment slip in Yun Mian's hand with a smile.
So Yunmian realized for the first time that there was much more money in the world than one hundred yuan.
It turns out that it would cost more than 100,000 yuan to cure grandma this time.
She could do nothing with the 5 dollars she had hidden for so long and was reluctant to spend.
"I choose the money." Yun Mian answered without hesitation.
Yang Bin seemed pleased by her answer, and he said it twice more with a smile on his face to coax her.
"My life, and hundreds of thousands of dollars. I choose hundreds of thousands of dollars." Yun Mian's childish voice became more and more firm each time.
She couldn't see the death countdown hanging above her head.
Even if she saw it, she would still make the same choice.
After following Yang Bin to the payment window to pay all the fees, Yun Mian breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew intuitively that this uncle was a very bad person, he saved her grandmother with money, so Yun Mian still looked up at him and thanked him: "Uncle, thank you. When I grow up, I will work hard to pay you back more money."
Her grandma, grandpa and mom all taught her not to be a petty-minded child, and Yunmian always listened to them.
Yang Bin was stunned for a moment by Yun Mian's answer, and then he felt ashamed for the first time. He smiled awkwardly and quickly left the hospital.
Yunmian squatted at the door of the operating room again and continued to wait quietly for her grandmother to come out.
After waiting for almost an hour, the doctor finally pushed grandma out.
One arm was amputated and one leg was in a cast. The old man had suffered so much at such an old age. The nurse reminded Yunmian, the only one guarding the bedside, of many things to pay attention to, and finally left with a sigh, shaking her head.
The most common things in hospitals are all kinds of tragic people and tragic things. Separation of life and death is the unchanging melody of the hospital. Even if they feel that the patient's family is very pitiful, they will not have too many emotional fluctuations because of this.
Yunmian doesn't need anyone's pity.
She sat obediently in the accompanying chair, holding her chin with her hand and quietly watching her grandmother, patiently waiting for her to slowly wake up from the anesthetic slumber.
At this time, someone sent my mother to the hospital.
The first thing Yun Mujin said when he entered the room was to ask Yun Mian who helped pay the bill.
Yunmian read out Yang Bin's name, and then obediently told her mother the choice he asked her to make.
Then she saw her mother's face turning paler and paler.
Yunmian was a little panicked and used her body to support her mother. She looked up and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what's wrong? Did I answer wrong?"
Yun Mujin shook his head hesitantly, then fumbled to hold his little daughter tightly in his arms, a hoarse and desperate cry coming from his throat.
How can there be so many kind-hearted people? How can there be so many kind-hearted people? ! !
They want to use her daughter's life in exchange for this money!!
Even though Yun Mujin didn't know why Yang Bin made Mianmian make such a choice, that sentence was already the most blatant death notice!
"Mianmian, Mommy shouldn't have left you alone in the hospital. I'm sorry..." Yun Mujin hugged her daughter helplessly, as if she was hugging the last piece of driftwood after falling into the water.
Yunmian reached out to help her mother wipe away her tears bit by bit, then leaned in to kiss her mother, smiled slightly, and said obediently, "Don't cry, mom. Mianmian knows that uncle is a bad guy, but he can give me a lot of money. With this money, grandma won't sleep forever like grandpa. Grandma also said she would buy mooncakes for Mianmian. Mom, when is the Mooncake Festival?"
After she answered the uncle's question, she felt anxious, as if she would soon lose the chance to wait for her grandmother to wake up and eat mooncakes together.
Yunmian stood on tiptoe and whispered in her mother's ear: "Mom, it's okay. Grandpa once told me that when people fall asleep, they will become stars in the sky. From now on, grandpa and I will watch the moon and eat moon cakes in the sky, and mom and grandma will eat moon cakes at home. You can see us when you look up~"
Yunmian still doesn't cry very well. There is a sparkling light in her eyes, as if there are real stars in them. Even though her mother can't see, she still tries to smile with her eyes curved. She hugs her mother and coaxes her softly, just like she used to coax herself to sleep, and gently pats her mother's trembling back with her little hands.
By night, grandma still hadn't woken up. Yunmian was busy and frantic, pacing around the bed like a little hamster. Sometimes she would lie down beside the bed and touch grandma's old face. Sometimes she would hold a cup of water and ask the nurse to get some warm water for her mother to drink. When the sky outside the ward had completely darkened, Yunmian would curl up in her mother's arms again, holding her mother's hand to compare the size with her own.
"Mom, don't be sad that grandpa and I have turned into stars. Grandpa and I will protect you and grandma together. I will sneak into your dreams from now on.
I will emit a very bright light, so that I can help my mother to make the dream world beautiful, and also let my mother see what I look like. I am very cute, everyone likes me, and my mother must like me very much too, right?"
"Mom, I love you so much, more than I love all the money I have."
"Mother……"
Mianmian is going to fly to the sky and turn into a star to continue loving you~
At first I had intended to just write a heartwarming flashback extra, but... well.
Also, Happy Chinese Valentine's Day ~ Love you all!
