Chapter 33 Asking for money is a necessary step
"Uncle, I'm going to the county hospital to treat my leg tomorrow. It will probably take a while, and my wife will be with me, so please keep this letter of introduction for a little longer."
The captain was stunned when he heard this. "Really? This leg can be cured? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"
"There is hope, but it doesn't necessarily mean it can be cured. Even if it can't be cured, the pain can be relieved after surgery." Xiao Bei said with reservation.
"If that's the case, that's great. Your pain is really a big deal. Okay, I'll give you more time. By the way, the money for your surgery..."
Xiao Bei said honestly: "I'll go ask my parents. They took away two hundred last time, so they should still have the money."
Captain: ...
He looked at Xiao Bei's expression and felt speechless.
What is Xiao Bei thinking? Can he take out the money that went into his mother's pocket?
I must be dreaming.
However, treating the legs is also of utmost importance.
He sighed deeply, "I'll go with you."
Xiao Bei looked grateful, "Thank you, uncle."
The captain waved his hand and said, "Why thank you?"
If it weren't for his leg injury, Xiao Bei would be the most promising person in their village.
Alas, what a pity!
What a bad luck!
At this time, Old Lady Xiao was at home.
When she saw Xiao Bei coming, her eyelids drooped and anger appeared on her face.
"You heartless beast, what are you doing here? Don't you want your parents but your wife? What are you doing here?"
"Mom, I need to go to the county hospital for surgery on my leg. I don't have any money. Can you lend me some? Don't worry, I will pay you back."
Xiao Bei looked sincere, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by Aunt Xiao who was holding a broom.
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard. What does your going to the hospital have to do with us? And you're asking for money. Why don't you go to heaven?"
Xiao Bei didn't move, allowing the broom to hit him mercilessly.
But the captain standing by couldn't stand it anymore.
He snatched the broom from Aunt Xiao's hand.
"Xiao Bei is your son too. There's hope for his leg to heal. Why don't you give him money? When we divided the family last time, you took all the 200 yuan from him."
"Besides, when he was in the army, he sent you twenty dollars every month. He did that for so many years. It's a lot of money. Now he needs to get his leg treated, and he asked you to borrow it, but you refused to lend it to him."
Aunt Xiao put her hands on her waist and yelled, "We have separated, and he kept saying that he wanted to cut off ties with us. Why should I lend him money? Anyway, if he wants to borrow money from me, it's impossible."
Her loud voice woke up the Xiao family members in the house.
He also yelled at the neighbors.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Everyone quickly gathered around to watch.
Aunt Xiao was not afraid either. She raised her voice even louder, "Everyone, come and take a look. This ungrateful bastard has severed ties with our family, yet he still has the nerve to ask us for money. Please judge for yourself. Does he have no shame?"
Neighbors watching: ...? Someone couldn't stand it and stood up to say something fair, "Mother Fang He, no matter what, Xiao Bei is still your son. Even if his bones are broken, his tendons are still connected. Since he wants to go to the county hospital for surgery, you should give him some money. Besides, he gave you the money."
Aunt Xiao stood up and spat at her.
"Bullshit, we have severed our relationship, so we are two families that have nothing to do with each other. Why should I lend him money? You are so kind, why don't you lend him money?"
The man's face immediately turned red with anger.
