Inviting Master You to sit down, Li Qinghe looked at He Yuzhu and said, "I have something to do here, can you go back first?"
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first." He Yuzhu was not without tact. He knew something was wrong just by looking at Master You's expression.
After saying hello, he opened the door and went out.
After he left, Li Qinghe closed the door and said, "Master You, tell me what you want to say."
He sighed heavily, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Master You, don't think too much. Since I am the leader of the factory, I will definitely help you if the workers are in trouble." Li Qinghe comforted.
Master You hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
"Come, have a cigarette. Don't worry. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse." Li Qinghe handed over a cigarette and sat on the sofa opposite.
At this point, Master You's eyes turned red, but he suppressed them tightly, and he sobbed, "Deputy Minister, I really have no other choice. My elder brother...elder brother...is seriously ill and must undergo surgery as soon as possible, but the hospital here can't treat him. They said he has to go to a big...big hospital, but...but..."
"Is your elder brother sick? What's wrong?" Li Qinghe asked with a frown.
"I don't really understand... It's just something like bone calcification. If it's not treated quickly, it will... compress the nerves or something, causing cerebral fluid to leak out, and the person will die. The key is that it costs another 900 yuan.
"How can we come up with so much? Both families emptied their savings and still couldn't come up with that much."
Master You's hair was messy. When he said this, he could no longer control himself and burst into tears.
The suppressed crying was full of despair.
In this era, the affection between relatives is very deep, unlike in later generations, when the relationship between relatives is weak.
Of course, not everyone is like this, and there are many who have ended up terminating each other forever, but most of them are still very close.
The sudden bad news made even Master You, a man like him, cry his eyes out.
But what Li Qinghe didn't understand was why Master You thought of him. Shouldn't the factory director be the first person who thought of such a thing?
Ask the factory for help, or find other relatives.
"Master You, don't be anxious. Tell me in detail what happened and where your brother is."
Master You sighed deeply, "Deputy Minister Li, I shouldn't have come to you about this matter, but there was really no other way. I looked for all the relatives I could think of, but they didn't have any spare money. They only gathered more than a hundred yuan, and the factory couldn't help much. After all, they were not our employees. Director Li helped to contact the big hospital in the capital and transferred my eldest brother to stabilize his condition. My eldest brother's factory advanced 300 yuan for the operation.
"But there is still a huge gap. There is really no other way. If I can't borrow the money, I can only watch my brother lying on the bed, and then I don't know when he will die."
At this moment, Master You no longer looked as energetic as he did before, but just a humble and pitiful man.
Li Qinghe poured him a glass of water and said, "Don't be sad yet. Tell me how much you still need."
He is not being a pushover. At any time, illness is the biggest threat to life. Not to mention this era, even in future generations, there are countless people who give up treatment because of the cost.
Li Qinghe couldn't help everyone one by one. He didn't have the energy or the strength to do so.
But now that they have come to me asking for help, I really can’t say no.
Besides, Master You and his elder brother are both workers, so they are not afraid of not paying back the money.
Nowadays, if you are a worker, you cannot be a deadbeat. If you have a bad reputation, you will have difficulty moving forward and will be ostracized everywhere, not to mention that you have to work there.
If you go to the factory and make a scene, the leaders will come to deal with it. Unless you don't want to work anymore, you will have to pay the money.
"Still...still more than two hundred short." Master You spoke in a low voice, not daring to look at Li Qinghe.
This is a huge sum of money, and not many people can come up with it all at once.
You know, the poverty line is only five dollars. That is to say, an adult can live a normal life with five dollars a month. Although the quality of life is very poor, he will not starve to death and at least he can have enough food and clothing.
More than two hundred is enough for a family of three to live on for a year.
This is when the family is full.
He and Li Qinghe are not related at all, why would he lend him such a huge sum of money?
"More than two hundred?"
Li Qinghe nodded, feeling nothing about it.
He now has hundreds of thousands of dollars in his space, so it is hard for him to have any emotional fluctuations over a few hundred dollars.
But Master You didn't know that when he heard Li Qinghe muttering this, he suddenly became uneasy.
He felt that two hundred was indeed too much. Although Li Qinghe was a leader, it was not time to get his salary yet. He probably didn't have much money, and if he took it out, it would empty his family's savings.
"I don't know what my niece was thinking. Why did she ask me to come find Li Qinghe?" Master You was very puzzled.
In fact, he originally wanted to borrow money from Director Li. After all, he had been a leader for so many years, so he could definitely come up with two hundred yuan.
If you can't pay it back for the time being, you can deduct it from your salary.
However, when she came out of the hospital, You Fengxia hesitated for a long time and suddenly asked herself to find Li Qinghe.
He didn't want to come at first, but thinking of his elder brother, he decided to give it a try and go to Li Qinghe.
“I know it’s a lot of money…”
"Let's go to the hospital first and see uncle."
Li Qinghe interrupted Master You before he could finish.
"ah?"
He thought he had heard wrongly.
"I mean, let's go to the hospital." Li Qinghe spoke again.
