Chapter 21
"How did you get such a disease out of the blue? Do you have enough money? Although Xiao Qinqin and I don't earn much, we have saved some in the past two years. If it's not enough, use it first." Uncle Lin took out a bank card and handed it to Father Lin.
Father Lin waved his hands and was about to speak when he heard a female voice: "Brother, you are home!"
"Auntie and grandpa, you are here. Please sit down and pour some water for your grandpa and grandma." Father Lin also greeted them hastily, and the next sentence was directed to Lin Nanzhi and the others.
Lin Nanzhi got up to get a cup to make tea. Lin's father took out a cigarette and handed it to him. The man waved his hand quickly and smiled at Lin's father.
Lin Nanzhi put the tea on the table, called out and then ignored him.
Of course she knew the two people who came.
This is a couple, also Lin family members, and they are from the same lineage as Lin's father. The man's father and Lin's father's grandfather are cousins. The man looks more than 20 years older, with a simple and honest face. The woman is chubby, short, with some scars on her face and a pair of squinty eyes.
After she sat down, she started talking to Lin's father. After a while of greeting, Lin's father asked about the purpose of their visit. The woman smiled and waved her hands, saying, "I'm a little embarrassed to say this.
It's like this. The back of the old house collapsed, and Xiaomei is pregnant again. Xiaobinbin is afraid that the house will fall on someone, so he plans to repair the house.
We have several daughters, so we plan to get a bigger one, but we are short of money. I heard that you have earned some money and saved a lot, so I want to ask you if you can lend some to our family."
To borrow money. The moment the two of them stepped into the door, Lin Nanzhi knew why they came.
During this period, their family bought land to build houses and bought forests. Now they have bought so much land, and many people are jealous. Naturally, some relatives will come to borrow money and ask for help. Lin Nanzhi was thinking of a solution but was interrupted by Lin Nanye's appearance.
She looked at Lin's father, wondering what he would do!
Given Lin's father's personality, if he had money in his hands, he would definitely lend it to others if they asked for it. But she wanted to know whether Lin's father would still lend money if the money was earned by her and Lin Nanye was sick.
If so, then there is really no cure, and I really can't tell him about it when I make money in the future.
But I never expected that Uncle Lin spoke before his father did.
"My dear, I'm afraid my elder brother can't produce it."
The two of them froze, their previous joy gone: "Oh, did I lend it to you?"
Uncle Lin shook his head and continued, "You don't know, Lin Ye is sick and hospitalized, my sister-in-law is still taking care of him in the hospital, and I don't even know if the money for the medical treatment is enough."
"Is Lin Ye sick?"
Father Lin nodded repeatedly.
"Tao Zi and I have saved some money over the years, and Lin Ye and his friends are also capable and have earned some money, so we thought about going to the hospital for a physical examination. Lin Ye was diagnosed with early-stage cancer, and the doctor said that the possibility of curing this disease is relatively low, and the only way is to take medicine.
The medicine is quite expensive, more than 10,000 a month, plus some other expenses, it adds up to a lot, the money on hand is not enough, and I don’t know if it can be cured. If it can’t be cured, I may have to sell the house and take him to a big city for treatment.”
Father Lin sighed continuously after he finished speaking.
When the couple heard about cancer, their faces changed, especially Uncle Lin, whose face was full of worry. He quickly handed over his bank card, saying that he had 200,000 or 300,000 yuan in his hand, which could hold out for a while.
Only Lin Nanxuan and Lin Nanzhi looked at each other and blinked.
More than 10,000 yuan for medicine per month?
Even though the medicine is expensive, how can it be so outrageous?
But no one said anything.
Lin Nanzhi thought this was a good idea.
This so-called little grandmother is the most gossipy woman in the village. If she knows something, the whole village will know it within a day. Then she can also stop those who want to borrow money from her.
It's not that Lin Nanzhi is so stingy. Neighbors are unwilling to lend money, but they are just jealous and find an excuse to borrow money. They are not really in urgent need. If they really lend money, it will probably take seven or eight years to pay it back.
Especially this little grandma, she is simply taking advantage of others!
After hearing what Lin's father said, the couple felt embarrassed to lend money, so they quickly found an excuse and left. Only Uncle Lin was still sitting on the sofa, refusing the bank card with Lin's father.
"Take it back. You're using this money to repair the house. How can I take it?"
"The most important thing right now is to cure Lin Ye."
"I have plenty of money."
"Your sister-in-law made a lot of money from embroidery, and Lin Ye opened a studio with her classmates at university and earned more than 200,000 yuan. Zhizhi also made some money from writing articles, which is enough for now.
The fruit trees on this mountain will be planted soon, and the money will be earned next year, so it probably won’t be needed anymore.” After all, there will still be money at home.
Lin Nanzhi won 50 million from the lottery. He used the money to build a house and buy land and forests. Five million was useless. Another five million was used to treat Lin Nanye's illness. It would be enough.
Naturally, he would not ask for Uncle Lin's family's hard-earned money.
Both of them are still young, they have two children who are in school and an elderly person to support. How can he ask Uncle Lin for money?
“Brother…”
"It's really useful. Take it back."
"Well, if it's not enough, be sure to tell me. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask. Brothers and sisters will help you."
Father Lin nodded with emotion.
After Uncle Lin left, Father Lin looked at Lin Nanzhi and said, "Zhizhi, we don't know when your elder brother's illness will be cured. You have a lot of money to spend now, so spend it first. When your elder brother recovers, let him earn money and return it to you."
Lin Nanzhi never expected this!
Her memory of Father Lin was vague at first, until she grew up and found that he was not only patriarchal but also had some old-fashioned ideas.
He thought that having a boy would carry on the family line, so of course everything in the family would be reserved for the boy, such as the land and the house, which belonged to the older and younger brothers. They had nothing. The family also had basically no money, except for the dowry.
Even though she didn't think about returning it, Lin's father's words did make her feel comfortable, so she just smiled.
Sure enough, with the loudspeaker, within a day, the whole village, if not the whole township, knew that Lin Nanye was seriously ill and difficult to cure. After asking about the situation, those who had good connections with him gave money to Lin's father and planned to go see Lin Nanye, but they were all rejected by Lin's father. Those who had bad connections with him were so happy that they wanted to spread the news to everyone in the world.
No matter what, in the end, everyone's jealousy and hatred towards the Lin family have basically disappeared, and most people are left with only sympathy.
Even if we repair the house, we may not be able to live in it. We may even have to sell it at a low price. After all, my son has an incurable disease, which is fatal!
There have been people coming and going in the Lin family these days, but Lin Nanzhi returned to school that afternoon and was not affected by these people.
