Li Junsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran home quickly.
In a tenement building twenty minutes away from the machinery factory, Li Guohua and Ji Xiaocui were pleading desperately at Li Junsheng's doorstep!
Ji Xiaocui was holding a little boy of about three years old in her arms. His face was flushed and he had a high fever.
The couple is Li Junsheng's second son and daughter-in-law, and the little boy is Li Junsheng's grandson.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please lend me and Xiaocui some money so I can take my child to see a doctor. After all, he's your nephew."
Li Guohua pleaded with his elder brother, Li Guojun, but the elder brother remained indifferent, and his wife, Wang Xiuhua, acted as if it were none of her business.
Ji Xiaocui was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please help us! Xiaowei has pneumonia and needs to be hospitalized. The doctor said we need to pay a deposit, but we don't have that much money. We'll pay you back as soon as Xiaowei recovers!"
Wang Xiuhua glanced sideways at Li Guohua and Ji Xiaocui, crossed her arms, and leaned against the door, not even letting them go inside to talk.
“We don’t have any money either, second son’s wife. Your parents are gone, why don’t you go back to your maternal uncle’s house to borrow some?”
Ji Xiaocui burst into tears. If she could borrow money herself, why would she need to ask her elder brother and sister-in-law for help?
There was absolutely no other way!
The second brother, Li Guohua, clenched his fists. He knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law had no intention of lending him money at all.
"Brother, I've never argued with you about anything all these years. Can't I even borrow money this once?"
They're brothers!
Li Guohua looked dejected, clearly hurt by his elder brother and sister-in-law's cold attitude.
The eldest brother looked at the second brother with disdain and was about to say something when Li Junsheng rushed back.
Seeing his second son and daughter-in-law guarding the door, he immediately said in a deep voice:
"What's going on? Why are you blocking my doorway? Come inside and we'll talk!"
Upon hearing Li Junsheng's voice, Ji Xiaocui immediately hugged Xiaowei and knelt down in front of Li Junsheng with a thud.
"Dad, please, you must save Xiaowei! He has pneumonia, and the doctor said we need to pay a deposit for hospitalization, but we're short a few dozen yuan!"
"Xiaowei is your own grandson, could you lend Guohua and me a few dozen yuan? We promise to pay you back once Xiaowei gets better!"
Ji Xiaocui burst into tears.
Upon hearing his second daughter-in-law's words, Li Junsheng was startled!
His thoughts instantly drifted back to his previous life, where he had favored the eldest son's family and had all the money controlled by Ma Yulian.
So when the second son and his wife came to him asking for money, he had no money to give, which prevented the second son's son from receiving timely treatment.
Died young due to pneumonia!
The second son and his wife were devastated. From then on, they were completely heartbroken and almost cut off all contact with him!
Even when he is old and ill in the future, the couple will treat him coldly.
Perhaps the second son and his wife were simply giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Li Junsheng was filled with remorse after his grandson died young!
He didn't want anything to happen to his youngest grandson, but unfortunately, he really didn't have any money to give to his second son.
Li Junsheng suddenly felt incredibly fortunate.
Fortunately, she had just gotten back some of the money that Ma Yulian had given to their family from Chen Dazhu.
Otherwise, we'd be helpless again!
Before Li Junsheng could respond, the eldest brother, Li Guojun, chuckled and said coldly to the second brother and his wife, "You've asked the wrong person. He has no money."
Because Li Junsheng favored the eldest brother, and the eldest brother knew best how much money Li Junsheng had.
He would ask Li Junsheng for as much as he had in hand.
Li Guojun was now thinking to himself: If his father still had money, he would have already raised enough for his eldest daughter's piano lessons!
Why bother working so hard to earn and save money?
“That’s right. Dad is at the age where he needs to retire. It’s already good enough that he doesn’t need you to give him money every month. Where would he get spare money to lend you?”
The eldest son's wife, Wang Xiuhua, also chimed in.
The second son and his wife looked at each other, their expressions filled with utter despair.
What do we do now?
My son has a high fever and is delirious!
If we don't get him to the hospital soon, something bad is definitely going to happen.
Li Guohua didn't believe it at all. His father worked in a machinery factory for many years.
How could I not save up a few dozen yuan!
When Xiao Cui and I got married, I didn't ask my father for a single penny; I relied entirely on my own hard work.
As a result, Xiao Cui's family members were quite dissatisfied with him as their son-in-law.
This has caused Xiao Cui to have a poor relationship with her family!
Dad clearly doesn't want to lend it; even his closest relatives are so cold-hearted!
As Li Guohua thought this, resentment began to build up in his heart.
He didn't understand why his father didn't love him at all!
The eldest son of the Li family wouldn't even let the second son into the house, so much so that the neighbors were watching the spectacle from the sidelines, and now they're pointing fingers at Li Junsheng's family.
"Sigh, Guohua is so pitiful. His father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't care about him. They barely helped him when he got married. Now his son is sick and he can't even borrow money from his own brother and father!"
“That’s right, Junsheng, don’t be so biased. This is your own grandson. Hurry up and get the money back so they can take the child to see a doctor.”
"You work in a machine factory, how could you not have saved even a few dozen yuan!"
The words of the others brought Li Junsheng back to his senses, and he immediately took out money from his pocket and handed it to his second brother.
"Dad's rich! Dad's rich!"
"Guohua, don't listen to your brother's nonsense! You quickly take this two hundred and take Xiaowei to the hospital. Pneumonia is no small illness!"
The death of his grandson in his previous life became a knot in the hearts of the second son and his wife, and a lifelong regret for them.
