In the evening, Li Yumei returned dejected. She had borrowed money from many people, but as soon as they heard that something serious had happened, they all avoided her and no one was willing to lend her money.
When she went to a relative's house to borrow money, the relative mocked her and drove her out. Li Yumei was not good at talking and could only shed tears silently.
Li Yurong saw Li Yumei's expression and knew that she hadn't brought any money this time. She patted Li Yumei on the shoulder and comforted her, "Sister, it's okay. I'll think of a solution. You go take care of me. By the way, have you had dinner?"
Li Yumei shook her head. She had no appetite for dinner because she couldn't borrow the money.
"How can that be possible?" Li Yurong frowned and took out a dollar from his pocket and gave it to Li Yumei. "Take this money and buy two buns to fill your stomach."
"Have you eaten yet, little brother?"
"Don't worry, no one can let our little brother starve. Big sister, go buy something to eat first."
Seeing that Li Yumei refused to accept it, Li Yurong stuffed it into her pocket. "Okay, big sister, don't feel bad. I'll find a way to deal with it. Go eat first. Only when you're full will you have the energy to take care of me."
Just as he was speaking, he saw his fourth sister Li Yuhe and fifth sister Li Pandyi rushing over.
Li Yuhe, with his sharp eyes, spotted Li Yumei from a distance and hurried over with Li Pandi. "What did I say? I wasn't mistaken, was I? Big sister, I'm in this ward, right?"
"right."
"Sister, why are your eyes red? Didn't you sleep well?" Li Yuhe was not only sharp-eyed but also extremely observant. She immediately noticed something was wrong with the two of them. "What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong. Let's work together to find a solution."
Li Yumei was silent at the critical moment and refused to speak. Li Yurong couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Fourth sister, fifth sister, do you have any money? My brother's hospital bills should be paid. If you don't pay, you will be kicked out."
"This." A penny can make a hero fall.
Li Yuhe rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a large unity note. "Second sister, I haven't received my salary for this month yet, and this is all I have. Take this first. I'll talk to the director tomorrow about getting an advance on my salary."
Li Yurong looked at Li Pandi expectantly. Li Pandi sighed and took out twenty yuan. "Second sister, this is all the money I have."
"You can get the money if you eat less." Li Yurong didn't look down on her sister. It was just that her fifth sister was such a delicious eater. She spent all her salary on food. If she was late for a few days, she wouldn't even have two dollars left.
After receiving the money, Li Yurong felt more confident. "Okay, I'll go pay the bill. You guys go in and keep me company. There are other people in the ward, so keep your voices down."
"good."
"Wait a minute," Li Yurong called out to Li Yuhe. "Fourth sister, you must find a way to ask the factory for some money tomorrow. You don't know how ruthless those people in the hospital are. The money we've scraped together can only last a week at best. If we delay any longer..."
Li Yuhe responded repeatedly. "Second sister, I understand. You can go without worry."
The three sisters gathered together to visit their younger brother, and Xu Jing was like a monkey being visited in a zoo, looking left and right, and even touching him. Fighting back the goosebumps, Xu Jing said, "Fourth sister, fifth sister, are you off work?"
"You little brat, now you know how to call me sister." Li Pandi patted Xu Jing's hand and scolded him with a smile, "Have you eaten yet? Fifth sister will buy you something delicious."
"Fifth sister, where did you get the money?" Li Yuhe thought, wasn't all the money taken away? Where else could the money come from?
Li Pandi's eyes darted around as she pulled out five yuan from the lining of her clothes. "Little brat, tell your fifth sister what you want to eat and she'll buy it for you."
Xu Jing thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat some Jianbing Guozi. I want two."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you." Li Pandi agreed readily, and left happily with the money without caring about anyone else.
Li Yuhe was surprised. He touched Xu Jing's hand and said, "Did you get sick and your appetite got bigger?" He never ate pancakes before. Is it time to change his taste now?
Xu Jing said, "I suddenly wanted to eat one. My eldest sister hasn't eaten yet, so I asked my fifth sister to buy one for her too."
"I don't need that." Li Yumei waved her hands repeatedly. "Just take care of yourself. I'll bring some eggs tomorrow. You've lost so much blood, so eat more."
"Sister, eggs alone are not enough. I've lost so much blood, how much nutrition can a few eggs provide?" Li Yuhe thought for a moment. There was a bag of brown sugar at the factory. I heard that brown sugar can also replenish blood, so I will definitely bring it tomorrow. "Little brother, tell me how you got injured?"
The sisters didn't ask out of consideration for their younger brother's face. The incident happened suddenly, and they were so focused on saving people that they had no idea what the whole story was.
Li Yuhe was very curious and asked directly without considering his younger brother's face.
"Fourth sister, why are you saying this?" Li Yumei glared at her and said, "How could I have done anything wrong? It was all someone else's fault."
"Sister, you have to listen to what others say." This is the elder sister's personality. No matter the cause and effect, as long as it involves the younger brother, she will always stand on the younger brother's side.
From childhood to adulthood, Li Yuhe has been accustomed to seeing his elder sister following behind his younger brother to clean up his mess, and it is no longer surprising.
Although Li Yuhe doted on her younger sister, she didn't spoil her unconditionally. She had to find out what was going on. She couldn't just let her money go to waste.
Xu Jing said impatiently, "Zhang Ergou fell in love with a girl, but after a few days of dating her, he discovered that the pretty girl had hooked up with another man. Zhang Ergou was so angry that he called a few brothers to go and teach that guy a lesson. I was just there to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that bastard to actually call for help. A huge group of people showed up and surrounded us. Before I could escape, I was hit with a few bricks, and then I didn't know anything about it."
"You're great, kid. You've learned how to fight." If Li Heng hadn't been injured, Li Yuhe really wanted to give him a big fight.
"Sister, I told you to take care of this brat, but you refused to listen. Look, now he's in big trouble." If Li Yuhe came to take care of him, she would definitely beat the guy's butt with a willow branch.
Li Yumei's eyes showed sadness, and she was in a particularly low mood. "Didn't you hear what my little brother said? He didn't do anything."
"You really believe it?" Li Yuhe rolled his eyes and twisted Xu Jing's ear. "This kid always avoids the important points and only says nice things. In my opinion, he needs to suffer a little loss to learn his lesson."
"Fourth sister, let go, it hurts." Xu Jing frowned in pain. Li Yumei saw this and hurried over to pull Li Yuhe back. "Be gentle. Why did you hit me when my injury hasn't healed yet?"
"Big sister, you are wrong. My younger brother made a mistake, and we, as sisters, have to take care of it."
The door opened, and Li Pandi walked in with two pancakes. "Who made a mistake?"
"Fifth sister, you came at the perfect time. This brat dared to start a fight with a group of people."
