As soon as Zhou Yuan returned to the construction team office, Li Yue'er hugged him and cried, saying that her father was dead.
Zhou Yuan was shocked and asked her what was wrong.
Li Yue'er just cried and choked up, unable to speak. After a few seconds, she spoke incoherently.
"My dad has uremia and needs a kidney transplant. The doctor said it would cost at least 100,000 yuan."
"What? Uremia? Kidney transplant? How could this happen?"
Zhou Yuan found it a little unbelievable.
Although he had no close relationship with Director Li in the village, he was still a little surprised when he heard about this, and at the same time felt the impermanence of life.
In my impression, Director Li is actually a very easy-going person, but he likes to drink. As the village director, he has a lot of social engagements, so he gets drunk often.
It seems that his illness is related to drinking, but Zhou Yuan couldn't say it clearly, so he could only pat Li Yue'er on the shoulder and comfort her:
"Don't cry, don't cry, everything will be fine. Your family is so well off, your brother is a driver, and you have wealthy relatives. You should be able to raise 100,000 yuan, right?"
"Classmate Zhou Yuan, are you kidding me? 100,000 yuan is a huge sum of money! How could you possibly raise that?"
Even if relatives have money, they wouldn't be willing to lend that much. Besides, who has that much money these days?"
Li Yue'er cried even harder.
Zhou Yuan, who had experienced rebirth, understood that in 1986, not to mention 100,000 yuan, even 10,000 yuan was not something that ordinary people could afford.
There are many families who cannot afford 1,000 yuan.
10,000 yuan can buy a courtyard house in the capital, and 3,000 yuan can buy a very good house in an ordinary city.
So this time Li Yue'er's family is really in trouble.
But I couldn't come up with 100,000 yuan. Of course, I had no relatives or friends in her family, so even if I did, it wouldn't be possible.
Unless Li Yue'er is willing to be his wife.
However, even with such a beautiful daughter-in-law, spending 100,000 yuan is still a big loss.
So Zhou Yuan was very hesitant and didn't know what to say to comfort Li Yue'er. He could only hold her in his arms to straighten her body and say some nonsensical words.
Li Yue'er became even more anxious when she heard this. At this moment, the reason why she cried so hard in front of someone was not only because she was really worried about her father.
It's more about hoping someone can lend a helping hand.
Li Yue'er is the accountant of the construction team, so of course she knows that the construction team has money.
Yesterday, Zhou Yuan received an advance payment of 80,000 yuan from Party A. However, this money was an advance payment for food expenses, employee salaries, etc.
Cannot be misappropriated.
If the people working on the construction team knew that their money had been misappropriated and they had no money to pay their wages, they would definitely not let it go.
Everyone worked hard just to get paid, as every family was short of money in those days.
They are all young men. After paying normal expenses, they send the remaining money back home.
Let their parents save money to build a house, buy furniture, marry them off, etc.
Time-based wages are paid monthly, and piece-based wages are paid at least 80% every month.
Li Yue'er knew that this was Zhou Yuan's promise to his employees, but in this urgent situation, she thought more about her father.
But she couldn't say these words, so she was sad and cried.
Looking at a girl who was once pretty and pleasing to the eye, now crying like a pear blossom in the rain, extremely sad, her tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
Zhou Yu felt really sad.
What should he do? When he sees someone not only crying, but also looking at him with a pair of tearful eyes, full of help.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Your family can't be completely broke, right? How much money can you raise?"
"My mom just called and told me that she can only scrape together 20,000 or 30,000 yuan at most. She can't do anything else because my dad has already spent a lot of money since he got sick. Woo woo woo!"
There is a telephone installed in Zhou Yuan’s construction team office, and there is also a telephone in the village committee in his hometown, so it is actually quite convenient for Li Yue’er to call home.
But what came was not good news, but bad news.
In fact, the question Zhou Yuan had always been wondering was why Li Yue'er had come to the construction site with him before?
The reason is very simple. Her father had already been ill and had often gone to the hospital for checkups, seen doctors and taken medicine, but the disease had not been diagnosed yet, or it was not so serious before, and the doctor had not decided that a kidney transplant was necessary.
But now, there is no other choice but to get a kidney transplant, and the doctor told the family that they must act quickly and not delay.
"But even if we have the money, what about the kidney? Does the hospital have a kidney suitable for your father?"
Zhou Yuan knew that getting a kidney transplant was not that simple. First of all, kidneys were very scarce. Unless one's close relatives could donate, one would have to wait in line for a long time, or even not get one at all.
"My sister is going to donate a kidney, and she wants me to pay for it.
Even if I borrow this money, I will have to pay it back later, so Zhou Yuan, I beg you, you are the only one I can count on now.
As long as you help me through this difficult time, even if I have to work like a cow or a horse, or become a slave for life, or even if I have to go through fire and water, Li Yue'er will never say a word of dissent. "
Li Yue'er, you were already crying so hard that you even knelt down with Zhou Yuan.
In front of so many people in the office, a 20-year-old girl who was as beautiful as a fairy actually knelt in front of him and burst into tears.
There were tears, pleading, and unspeakable sorrow in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan was moved.
Seeing such a pitiful beauty begging me desperately, even if I said 120 times that I didn't want to, I couldn't say no.
