Li Weidong's roar silenced everyone.
Zhao Xiulian immediately said, "Wei Dong is right. Our father has suffered all his life. Now that he's old, he's fallen and needs surgery. As his children, are we not even willing to spend this little bit of money?"
"I'm willing to pay..."
Third Uncle Zhao Baojia looked at the old man on the hospital bed, his eyes red: "Dad has suffered his whole life, and he hasn't even had a few good days yet. How can he just give up treatment?"
"I'm not an ingrate!"
Wang Dahua got anxious: "Who are you calling an ingrate?"
“Whoever is unwilling to pay, let’s talk about them.”
Li Xiaoli muttered something.
Everyone in the ward was watching the commotion, and when they heard her words, snickers immediately broke out.
Wang Dahua's face flushed red and then turned pale. She raised her hand and slapped Li Xiaoli, saying, "You little brat, who gave you the right to interrupt when adults are talking?"
Li Weidong grabbed her arm, shielding Li Xiaoli behind him, and said sternly, "Try touching even half a finger of my sister!"
Wang Dahua was both angry and anxious: "Zhao Baoguo, are you dead? Just stand by and watch others bully your wife?"
Zhao Baoguo was naturally unwilling to swallow this insult and immediately wanted to take action.
Zhao Xiulian quickly went to stop her.
The ward was in complete chaos.
Fortunately, the nurse came over at that moment: "What are you doing? If you want to make a scene, go outside!"
"There are so many patients here. If you keep making such a racket, I'm calling security!"
Things have finally calmed down.
After being persuaded by Zhao Xiulian, Li Weidong finally calmed down a bit, but he still couldn't hide his anger: "You are my elders, I won't argue with you."
"Let's get this straight: my grandfather is in trouble, and the doctor said he can be treated, so he has to be treated! The whole family can only afford a little over a thousand yuan, even my uncle is contributing, why won't you?"
"It's only a little over a thousand, isn't a little over a thousand a lot of money?"
Zhao Xiufen snorted, "Your uncle is a bachelor, he doesn't need to support a family. He has money, you have money from your business, but what about us?"
“We’re not as capable as you. We can’t even save a thousand yuan a year working in the fields. And you think you can just throw it away with a single sentence?”
Zhao Xiujuan nodded in agreement: "That's right, I don't have any money anyway. If you want treatment, then you should pay for it!"
The two sisters took turns attacking Li Weidong.
Zhao Xiulian was both angry and anxious. She wanted to yell back and ask why her family should pay for the surgery, but after all, it was her elderly father lying in bed, and she really wanted him to have the operation.
Even if the other hospitals don't offer to pay, she doesn't want to give up on treatment.
Seeing Li Weidong being scolded, Wang Dahua perked up and said gloatingly, "They're right, in our whole family, you, Li Weidong, are the richest."
"Now that you say you want treatment, you'll definitely have to pay for it!"
Li Weidong laughed angrily: "What, is it my problem that I have money?"
Zhao Baoguo finally spoke up: "I have already made myself very clear. The old man is already too old to take any more trouble. Surgery is too risky. It would be better to go home and take good care of him for a few days."
"If you insist on getting treatment, then you'll definitely have to pay for it. You're not short of money, are you?"
Li Weidong was both speechless and somewhat annoyed: "Yes, I am rich, but my maternal grandfather is your father. He raised you with his own hands and feet!"
"Now that he's in trouble, the biggest responsibility lies with you, his children, not with me, his grandchild!"
He has plenty of money and is willing to pay it, but the question is, on what basis?
Zhao Xiulian retorted angrily, "Brother, my Weidong is rich, but our money didn't grow on trees!"
"Wei Dong grows mushrooms in all kinds of weather, and he has to smile and beg for sales everywhere. He earns his money through hard work. Our father needs to take care of him in his old age, so it should be us who do it. Why should it be Wei Dong's responsibility?!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care, Dad has to have the surgery, and the cost will be split equally among the six families!"
"You're dreaming!"
Zhao Xiufen spat, "Split the bill? I don't have any money!"
"Even if I had the money, I wouldn't pay."
Zhao Xiujuan pouted: "Our father? He's so biased. He's always favored you and Lao Wu when it comes to good things since we were little."
"Now that he's in trouble, it's your responsibility to pay for it, what does it have to do with us?"
The two spoke with great conviction.
Zhao Baoguo chimed in, "If you ask me, I'd rather not treat him and just bring our father home so he'll suffer less."
"Whoever wants treatment should pay for it; don't ask me for medical expenses."
Zhao Xiulian was furious.
Li Weidong was also furious and was about to start cursing.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the person in the next bed shouted, "Still making noise? You'll drive the old man crazy!"
Everyone was startled and quickly turned their heads.
But they discovered that the old man, who had been unconscious, had woken up at some point and was now breathing heavily with anger. His already pale face looked even worse.
"Dad, you're awake!"
Zhao Xiulian was the first to rush over and patted his chest to help him catch his breath.
Li Weidong was also somewhat worried.
The things my uncle and his family said just now were truly outrageous, and the old man didn't know how much of it he had heard.
His health was already poor; this anger will probably make things even more complicated...
Zhao Xiufen suddenly spoke up: "Dad, when did you wake up? You heard everything we were saying..."
"roll!!!"
Zhao Xiulian interrupted her with a roar: "Get out of here, all of you! I'll take care of Father's affairs; you bunch of ingrates don't need to worry about them!"
"You're the one who told us to get out!"
Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan were immediately delighted.
