Ma Jianguo went to the hospital to pay the bill. In the ward, Song Ping, who was already full of resentment towards everything, pulled Ma Jianguo aside and discussed for a while.
Later, when Ma Jianguo returned to the ward, Song Ping vividly acted out a stomachache.
In the end, Ma Qiangguo and his wife went home, leaving Ma Jianguo in the hospital to take care of Ma Jinhua.
Ma Jianguo is a grown man, but he is so timid and inconvenient when serving my mother.
…
At the Ma family, Li Hongmei took the money and took the two children back to the room, then hid aside and started counting.
One-cent, twenty-cent, fifty-cent, one-yuan, two-yuan, five-yuan, and even several Big Unity notes. After counting them three times, Li Hongmei's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Oh my god, there was one hundred and twenty-seven dollars and fifty-six cents!
So much money!
Can buy more than 600 kilograms of food!
Hide, must hide!
Li Hongmei was both excited and worried. She always felt that nothing was safe. She was afraid that the money would be discovered and then lost.
Just as she hid the money in her clothes closet, she heard Song Ping's voice from outside, "Sister-in-law, are you asleep?"
Li Hongmei was startled and felt a little guilty, "Hey, wait a minute."
After taking a few deep breaths and calming her expression, Li Hongmei carried Ma Xiaobao out of the room and asked with concern, "You're back."
"Well, Qiangguo has gone with the ox cart. My uncle is staying in the hospital today." Song Ping took over Ma Xiaobao and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. So...how is it going?"
"What else can I do? I'll just spend the money!"
Song Ping curled her lips, her face full of displeasure. "The doctor said that even if I survive, I'll be paralyzed and need someone to take care of me. In my opinion, it's better to die early..."
'The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn'!
Song Ping was worried after all, so she swallowed the rest of her words and said, "Sister-in-law, my uncle has said in the hospital that he will get treatment even if he has to sell everything he has. You should try to persuade him!"
"I see."
Li Hongmei sighed, feeling helpless.
"Let me be frank. We've split up, and all the money has gone to Mom's medical treatment. We're broke, and it's tough on us!"
Song Ping’s meaning is very clear. If you can’t make ends meet, don’t come to my house to beg for money!
Li Hongmei understood and nodded with mixed feelings, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we know."
After a few more words, Ma Qiangguo came back, and the couple took their son back to their room.
Li Hongmei also returned to the room. The mother and daughter lay on the bed. Lin Xiaoman began to whisper in her ear, blah blah...
After some pillow talk, Li Hongmei fell into deep thought.
My mother-in-law Ma Jinhua is a bottomless pit. Even if you throw money into it, not a single sound can be heard.
Even if he is cured, having a paralyzed person in the family will be a burden in the future. And if she doesn't take good care of him, it will definitely be her fault as the daughter-in-law!
But there is no cure, given her husband's stubborn personality, it is simply impossible!
He is going to sell everything he has to pay for his medical treatment!
Selling everything you have...
Gritting her teeth, Li Hongmei turned around and accurately locked onto the location where the money was hidden in the darkness. Wasn't she going to sell everything she had?
She smashes, she sells, she makes it happen!
Aren’t you filial? I want you to be filial! Be filial as much as you can!
The next morning, Li Hongmei and Song Ping each cooked their own meals and took turns using the stove.
As for delivering meals to the hospital?
Ma Qiangguo and his wife: What does it have to do with us!
Knowing Ma Jianguo's personality and knowing that he was reluctant to spend money, Li Hongmei was a little soft-hearted at first. But after seeing the little bit of food left at home, her soft-heartedness turned into resentment!
Let him be. He is an adult. He won’t starve to death if he skips a couple of meals!
After dinner, Li Hongmei said to Ma Jianguo and his wife, "I support Ma Jianguo and will cure him even if I have to sell everything I have!"
Ma Qiangguo and Song Ping were stunned and thought Li Hongmei was crazy.
No matter what they thought, Li Hongmei dragged Lin Xiaoman around the village and cried from one end of the village to the other. While acting pitiful, she firmly stated that she would treat Ma Jinhua's illness, even if she starved to death!
Raising the banner of being a filial daughter-in-law, Li Hongmei invited villagers to her home to buy things. As long as someone liked something, she would sell it to them for some money!
Li Hongmei sold everything she could at home, leaving not a single grain of food.
She hid her private money inside her jacket and kept it close to her body, and put the thirty yuan she earned from selling everything she had in another place. After packing up her bags, Li Hongmei took Lin Xiaoman to the town.
…
In the hospital, Ma Jianguo, who had been taking care of his mother, finally got through the night and was extremely tired.
He took a nap against the wall in the morning. Before noon, Ma Jianguo woke up because of hunger. After waking up, he looked over and saw that Ma Jinhua had urinated again.
After one night, Ma Jianguo got used to it and started changing Ma Jinhua's clothes.
After struggling for more than half an hour, Ma Jianguo was hungry and tired.
The food in the hospital cafeteria was too expensive. Thinking that his second brother's family would come back to take over and bring him food, Ma Jianguo endured the hunger and continued to persevere.
They endured this until the afternoon. Just when Ma Jianguo's stomach was rumbling with hunger, Li Hongmei took Lin Xiaoman to the hospital.
"Here it comes!" Ma Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, touched his stomach unconsciously, and then was surprised to find that his wife didn't bring any food!
"I came to see Mom..." Li Hongmei's face was full of concern, and she asked about Ma Jinhua's situation sincerely.
Ma Jianguo told the truth honestly.
Although her heart was shrouded in dark clouds, Li Hongmei's face showed true feelings. "Jianguo, this is our mother. We can't just watch her suffer. She must be treated! We must treat her even if it means selling everything we have! Don't worry, I've sold everything we can at home. You can use the money. Treatment is the most important thing!"
Li Hongmei gave Ma Jianguo more than 30 yuan with sincerity, which moved him to tears.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work!"
His second and third brothers neither understand him nor support him!
Unexpectedly, his wife is sensible and righteous!
When his mother gets better, he will definitely repay his wife well!
Ma Jianguo, who received the money, was overwhelmed with emotions and felt grateful.
After a few more words, Li Hongmei suggested, "Jianguo, you take good care of Mom in the hospital. I'm going to take Lai Di to my parents' home first. For Mom, I will definitely borrow money. If I really can't borrow money, I won't come back. Lai Di and I can save the food and buy some money for Mom's medicine."
Li Hongmei spoke very confidently, and Ma Jianguo, who was deeply moved, felt that something seemed wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
It was not until Li Hongmei took Lin Xiaoman away that Ma Jianguo realized that he had not eaten all day!
It was another ordeal. By the evening, he was so hungry that he had no strength left. Ma Jianguo had no choice but to go to the hospital cafeteria and get a bowl of porridge.
Ma Jianguo felt so distressed about the 20-cent porridge!
