Zhao Erjie's ex-mother-in-law, Old Lady Li, happened to come over to get her blood pressure medication and saw the nurse's call for help.
"I know this old woman is extremely biased towards boys. She married my daughter to our family for decades and kept forcing her to give money to our two sons. Now I didn't expect her to have a stroke and the two sons ran away. This is really retribution."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When the lying old lady Wang saw old lady Li, she felt so humiliated that she couldn't even turn her head away. She could only howl with a ferocious face.
Although Old Lady Li told the address of the two Zhao brothers, the nurse remembered the trouble the two brothers had caused this morning. Even if she found them, she still couldn't pay the medical expenses. It would be better to directly notify the street office and the factory and let both of them deal with the two brothers.
After Zhao Youcai came out of the hospital, he first went to have a meal with Li Shulan, and then returned to the factory to work as usual.
Until the street office and Director He from the factory came to him together, he pretended to be confused:
"Didn't my brother say he would take care of it? He told me to come back to work first, so why hasn't he gone back yet?"
"He's such a jerk! How could he promise me something and then not go? Is he trying to trick me away and get rid of my mom on purpose?"
"I told him it's not his fault that my mom had a stroke. If he still didn't want to take care of her, he could have given me some money and I would have taken care of her. But I didn't expect that he would treat my mom like this just to avoid paying. I'm so heartbroken."
"Comrades from the Subdistrict Office, my brother intends to abandon my mother. I'm really worried about leaving her with him, so he'd better keep her with me."
"But Director He also knows that when I divorced, I promised to give my salary to my ex-wife. I have no money now, and I can't support a large family with just my two sons' salaries. I need you to persuade my brother to give me 10 yuan a month so that I can support my mother."
Shulan told him that it would not be cost-effective even if they shared the retirement benefits equally. It would be better to get money from Zhao Youcai and then give it to Old Lady Wang as a snack.
As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, the comrades from the street office said they would do ideological work on Zhao Youfu.
"Director He, my family is in this situation now. I want my mother to live out her final days in a dignified manner and take her to eat something good. Could you please discuss with Ma Xiulan and postpone paying her my salary for two months?"
Let’s try it first. If two months is enough, then another two months. Anyway, as long as Old Lady Wang is not dead, we can delay it as long as possible.
Shulan is really smart. She can think of so many good ideas using her mother's illness.
Director He saw that Old Mrs. Wang was indeed ill, and he felt embarrassed to reject Zhao Youcai's request out of filial piety, so he agreed.

After sending her three children to study with Gu Xiangze, Ma Xiulan rested for a while. She had gotten up too early in the morning, so she took a nap and made a hearty lunch. Just as she came back from the meal, she heard the voice of her good sister Niu Chunhua outside: "Xiulan, are you home?"
Ma Xiulan hurried out to greet her.
"Here I am. Come in and drink some sugar water to warm yourself up."
Niu Chunhua held the bowl, not even bothering to drink, and hurriedly vented:
"Old Lady Wang is truly paralyzed this time. When she was in the hospital, neither Zhao Youcai nor his brother wanted to take care of her. They actually discussed pushing you to take care of her. You must not be stupid."
Ma Xiulan sneered. Zhao Youcai has always been filial. She didn't expect that he would ask for help from her. Now it's his turn, but he doesn't take care of it after he becomes paralyzed.
"Why should I take care of her? Don't worry, I won't be stupid again."
Niu Chunhua touched her best friend's hand and said, "By the way, do you know what happened next? Old Lady Wang was thrown into the hospital by the Zhao Youcai brothers. The hospital contacted the neighborhood office and the factory. Director He from the neighborhood office and the factory contacted Zhao Youcai. Do you know what Zhao Youcai said?"
