Chapter 209 Cui Shufen is extremely disappointed with her three sons
Cui Shufen's arrival stunned everyone. Zhou Ling glanced at Zhou Yong's expressionless face, and she couldn't help but stand up.
"Mom, what happened at home?"
If something hadn't happened at home, Cui Shufen wouldn't have had this expression.
Cui Shufen panted: "Xiaoling, your father fainted..."
When Zhou Ling heard this, she immediately left her seat and walked out: "Mom, have you informed my second and third brothers?"
Cui Shufen shook her head, Zhao Min slowly stood up, and Zhou Ling was panicked.
Although Zhou Jiefang was an irresponsible father, as a daughter, Zhou Ling was anxious when she heard the news, even if her parents treated her badly.
"You guys eat, we two will go over and take a look at the situation."
Zhang Guifang took over the conversation. Cui Shufen looked at Zhou Yong, not knowing what to say. Zhou Ling did not even give her mother a chance to speak and pulled her away from the Li family.
Li Baotian glanced at his son-in-law. Zhou Yong picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Let's drink together."
Everyone present knew the relationship between Zhou Yong and the Zhou family, so everyone pretended that Cui Shufen had never been there.
They were having a great time eating and drinking, but the atmosphere on Zhou Yong's side was quite depressing.
Doctor Shen examined Zhou Jiefang and was at a loss as to what to do about his condition, so he suggested that Zhou's family rush to send Zhou Jiefang to the hospital for treatment.
After all, the medical equipment in rural clinics is as simple as it can be. When encountering some difficult diseases, even if Dr. Shen can see the cause, he cannot carry out rescue work without instruments and corresponding medicines.
Doctor Shen went back, and Zhou Ling arranged to send her father to the hospital, but the brothers Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang didn't move at all.
"Second brother, third brother, what are you doing?"
Zhou Gang frowned: "Doesn't it cost money to go to the hospital? My family can't afford it now, I have to go home and borrow..."
Zhou Qiang's family situation is similar to Zhou Gang's. The two brothers have seven or eight children in their family, and each family has only two laborers. You can imagine what their living conditions are like.
Cui Shufen frowned: "Then why don't you go home and raise money? Let's send your father to the hospital first..."
Zhou Qiang muttered: "Today is the Little New Year, who should I go to borrow money from?"
Zhou Gang also scratched his head about this question, and the two brothers looked at each other with difficulty.
"Mom, is there no money at home?"
Zhou Tao asked Cui Shufen this question.
"How can our family have money? Even if we have some money, we are still starving."
Zhou Ling used the betrothal money to help Zhou Tao get married, and after deducting the expenses, all the money earned by the family was used to fill the hole.
Zhou Tao's wife was pregnant and didn't want to answer, "What should I do? My family doesn't have any money either. Zhou Tao, why don't you say something?"
The Zhou family was not well off to begin with, and Zhou Jiefang fell ill, making the already poor family even worse off.
Zhou Ling sighed and looked at her husband Zhao Min.
"I'll go home and get the money."
Zhao Min understood what his wife's eyes meant. He said nothing, went home to get the money, and then returned. The group sent Zhou Jiefang to the hospital.
After a series of rescue efforts, Zhou Jiefang's life was saved, but due to the delay in receiving medical treatment, half of his body was paralyzed.
Cui Shufen cried and cried. She never expected that just when she had some hope for the future, her husband would be diagnosed with this disease.
"Mom, stop crying."
Zhou Ling didn't know how to comfort her mother. After all, Zhou Jiefang was paralyzed. Not only would the family lose a labor force, he also became a burden to the family.
Cui Shufen wiped her tears and said, "What are you and I going to do in the future?"
The couple couldn't rely on Zhou Yong, there was no news from Zhou Xia, and the brothers Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang couldn't even take care of their own lives, so how could they take care of their parents' affairs.
As for Zhou Tao, his wife is a miser, and even if they had money, the couple could not rely on her.
The more Cui Shufen thought about these things, the more upset she became, and she cried with tears and snot.
Zhou Ling was upset by Cui Shufen's crying. Zhao Min looked at the time and said, "You go home first. I'll stay in the hospital to take care of Dad."
His child is still at Zhou Yong's home, so the couple cannot both stay in the hospital.
Zhou Ling sighed: "You go back, I'll stay and take care of dad."
Zhao Min looked at Zhou Ling and nodded: "Okay, I'll go back first, otherwise there will be no more buses."
Zhou Ling responded, Zhao Min went back, and Cui Shufen continued to wipe her tears.
Zhou Jiefang woke up in the evening. He whimpered a few times, and no one knew what he wanted to express.
The doctor examined him again and told Zhou's family that Zhou would speak like this after he was liberated.
When Cui Shufen heard this, her heart sank and she sat on the stool and burst into tears.
The doctors and nurses left the ward, and Zhou Ling tried to comfort her mother, but unfortunately it didn't work.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Cui Shufen's emotions had eased, and the three brothers Zhou Gang, Zhou Qiang and Zhou Tao started arguing in the ward.
Zhou Jiefang's hospitalization would cost a lot of money, so Zhou Tao discussed with his two brothers and wanted them to go home tomorrow to raise some money.
Zhou Gang didn't say anything, but Zhou Qiang was a little unwilling.
Because Zhou Qiang and Cui Shufen and Zhou Jiefang have separated for many years, the old couple lives with Zhou Tao. Now that Zhou Jiefang is sick and hospitalized, it is natural for Zhou Tao to pay the largest share.
But Zhou Tao didn't think so. He meant that Zhou Jiefang was not just his father, so he was unwilling to bear the bulk of the expenses.
The two brothers started arguing with each other, and Zhou Gang tried to persuade them, but Zhou Qiang said that his second brother only pretended to be a good person, and the three brothers continued arguing.
Cui Shufen stepped forward to persuade her three sons, and Zhou Ling watched the scene indifferently.
The three brothers finally calmed down. Cui Shufen wiped her tears and said, "What sin did I commit in my previous life that I gave birth to bastards like you?"
Zhou Ling opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.
Zhou Ling didn't sleep a wink all night. The next day, Zhou Qiang was the first to leave the hospital. Zhou Gang found an excuse to go back as well. Zhou Tao saw that he had also returned home.
Only Cui Shufen, Zhou Jiefang and Zhou Ling were left in the hospital.
Cui Shufen cried again and again, while Zhou Jiefang was speechless, tears just kept flowing down.
Zhou Ling stayed in the hospital for three days, during which time none of Zhou Gang's three brothers came.
Cui Shufen was extremely disappointed with her three sons, and it also made her lose hope in life.
Fortunately, Zhou Ling was by their side, otherwise Cui Shufen would have wanted to die.
Three days later, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Jiefang was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
In fact, according to Zhou Jiefang's condition, he should not be discharged from the hospital. Cui Shufen and her husband had no money, and Zhou Ling's family had some money, but she couldn't empty the family savings to treat her father.
Besides, it was Zhou Ling who paid for Zhou Jiefang's hospitalization. As a daughter, it was good enough that she could do this.
On the way home, Cui Shufen thought a lot, and finally she decided to go back and separate from Zhou Tao. The couple lived separately and let each son give them living expenses on a monthly basis.
Zhou Ling learned of her mother's thoughts and advised Cui Shufen not to do so.
Now Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang can no longer be relied upon. If they break up with Zhou Tao, no matter what happens in the future, none of their sons will ask them about anything.
Cui Shufen refused to listen to the advice and insisted on doing so.
Zhou Ling stopped trying to persuade her mother, thinking that Cui Shufen would regret it sooner or later.
