"My eldest and second sisters wanted to accompany me to the city to buy clothes, but my eldest sister twisted her foot," Gong Xiaoyun said. Now that she had met her eldest sister-in-law and her family, she could send her eldest sister back.
Su Jinyue glanced at Gong Damei and Gong Ermei, opened the car door, and got out. "I'll help your eldest sister." She knew the two sisters had bad intentions. They only had twenty yuan on them, and they said they were going to buy clothes for Xiaoyun, and even pretended to have twisted their ankle. She didn't believe they had no ulterior motive.
Gong Damei quickly shook her head and said, "No need to look, I'll be fine after sitting for a while." This was really like a Cheng Yaojin showing up out of nowhere. She had just come up with a plan, but they destroyed it.
"Sister, my sister-in-law is a doctor. She prescribed the medicine for my mother that day," Gong Xiaoyun said. During her time in Shangxin Village, she often heard people say that her sister-in-law was a good doctor.
"I'm fine, there's really no need." Gong Damei didn't want Su Jinyue to see her. If she saw her, wouldn't she be exposed?
"We will be relatives from now on, so there's no need to be polite." Su Jinyue squatted down while speaking.
Gong Damei wanted to dodge, but she found that her feet could not move, and she was suddenly panicked. What was going on?
Su Jinyue reached out and grasped Gong Damei's right ankle, exerting pressure secretly, "Is it this foot?"
Gong Damei's face turned pale with pain. "Be gentle! Ouch!" Wasn't she pretending? Why was it so painful? Did she really twist her ankle?
"Big sister." Gong Ermei looked at Gong Damei in surprise. She thought her big sister was pretending, but seeing her face turn pale with pain, it was obvious that she was not pretending, but had really twisted her ankle.
Su Jinyue withdrew her hand and looked at Gong Damei. "You might have broken a bone. You need to go to the hospital." Doesn't she like to pretend? Then she would let her pretend thoroughly.
Gong Damei was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
"Aren't you a doctor? Can't you treat my elder sister?" Gong Ermei asked. This was really a sudden disaster. How could my elder sister twist her ankle?
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Even if I know how to treat it, it will take a while to heal it. And for this kind of bone injury, it's better to go to the hospital. If there are any sequelae, you'll be lame for the rest of your life." Su Jinyue deliberately made the matter serious.
"Sister-in-law, let's rush and take my sister to the hospital," Gong Xiaoyun said anxiously. If my sister hadn't been accompanying her to buy clothes, how could she have twisted her ankle?
Su Jinyue glanced at Gong Ermei and Zhan Yiping, "Our car can only accommodate three more people."
"I'm going back." Zhan Yiping said, and walked in the direction they came from. She wasn't related to Gong Damei, so why should she accompany her to the hospital? Besides, she didn't like being with Su Jinyue. If she had known, she wouldn't have followed her out.
With the combined efforts of Gong Ermei and Gong Xiaoyun, Gong Damei was helped into the car.
This was Gong Ermei's first time riding in a car, and she couldn't help but touch and look around. If it weren't for her eldest sister's sprained ankle, it would have been so cool for them to go shopping in the city in a car.
The car drove all the way to the county hospital, where the nurse took out a wheelchair and pushed Gong Damei into the examination room.
After some examination, it was determined that Gong Damei's foot bones were broken and she needed to stay in the hospital for a month.
The nurse walked up to Gong Ermei and handed her two forms, saying, "Are you Gong Damei's family member? Here are the examination forms and hospitalization forms. Can you please pay?"
Gong Ermei took the bill and it took her a while to react, "Nurse, how much do I have to pay?" She only had a dozen yuan on her.
"Ms. Gong will be staying in the hospital for a month. Please give her 500 yuan first," said the nurse.
"What?! Five hundred!" Gong Ermei's eyes widened in shock. Where did she get five hundred?
Gong Damei was just being pushed out of the examination room. Upon hearing what the nurse said, she no longer cared about the pain, jumped off the wheelchair, and leaped in front of the nurse on one foot, "Nurse, I don't want to be hospitalized anymore." Even if she was killed, she still couldn't come up with 500 yuan.
"If you don't go to the hospital for treatment of your leg, you will become lame in the future. Besides, it's not up to me to decide whether you stay in the hospital or not. You have to talk to the doctor." The nurse said calmly.
Gong Damei looked at her feet that were wrapped like rice dumplings, thought for a while, gritted her teeth and looked at Gong Ermei, "Ermei, go back to find mother and your brother-in-law and ask them to raise some money." She was still young and really didn't want to become a cripple.
"Don't even think about Mom. Have you forgotten that day, even with her face so swollen, she didn't even bother to go to the hospital. How could she give you the money?" Gong Ermei said. Mom was so cruel to herself, let alone her eldest sister.
"What should we do then?" Gong Damei asked anxiously. If her mother didn't give her money, her husband definitely wouldn't be able to come up with 500.
"Sister, don't worry. Let's think about it carefully. We can always come up with a solution." Gong Ermei helped Gong Damei sit on a chair beside them.
After a long while, Gong Damei's eyes lit up. "Why don't you go ask Yaoyao for it?" Although she and her second sister had never been to Yaoyao's house, they knew where it was. Yaoyao's family was so rich, giving her, the eldest sister, 500 yuan for medical treatment was nothing.
"Sister, are you crazy? How can we ask Yaoyao for money?" Gong Ermei looked at Gong Damei in disbelief. Yaoyao was their biological sister, but they had only met her a few times and did not have a deep relationship with her. How could Yaoyao be willing to pay so much money?
"Then what do you say we should do? Mother won't give me the money, and your family and I don't have any money. Do you have the heart to let me become a cripple?" Gong Damei asked. She was only 35 years old. If she became a cripple, how would she live the rest of her life?
"Sister, why don't I go ask Mother," Gong Ermei said. If Mother knew that Sister was going to ask Yaoyao for money, she would probably give her money. But if Mother gave her money, Sister-in-law would definitely not agree.
"Don't look for mom, just go find Yaoyao and tell her I need money. If she refuses to give me money, I'll bring people to find her," Gong Damei said. She didn't believe Yaoyao would give up her current happiness for 500 yuan.
"Sister, who is Yaoyao?" Gong Xiaoyun asked. How come she had never heard of Yaoyao before?
Gong Damei and Gong Ermei were shocked. They had actually forgotten that Xiaoyun was right next to them.
"Well... Yaoyao is our distant cousin." Gong Damei explained with a dry laugh. She naturally wouldn't really destroy Yaoyao's happiness, but she had no choice but to set her sights on Yaoyao.
"Why don't I remember we have such a cousin?" Gong Xiaoyun thought carefully. Although her mother and sisters didn't like her, she knew who her relatives were.
"I already told you they're distant relatives, how could you know? If you have any money, go and hand in this checklist first." Gong Ermei stuffed the two lists in her hand at Gong Xiaoyun. To her, this list was like a hot potato.
