Su Luo thought about it, pretending to be anxious and helpless: "Then how about this, I'll write you an IOU, you pay it in advance, I'll go get the money, and I'll pay you double. 260 medical expenses, I'll pay you 520 yuan when the time comes, okay?"
"520 yuan?!" Li Hongwen couldn't sit still: "You want to write an IOU?"
Su Luo nodded anxiously: "Yes, don't worry, I have money and I won't owe you money."
Liu Fang was also fooled by the "520 yuan" as she had never seen so much money before.
If I advance the payment, I will get double the money?
Su Luo looked very anxious, her eyes almost reddened: "The child cannot be driven out, she needs to be hospitalized, please advance the money, I will go get the money right away."
Li Hongwen's gambling addiction came back: "Okay! We'll pay for it, and you can write me an IOU now."
Su Luo didn't hesitate and wrote the IOU on the spot.
Li Hongwen was illiterate, so he took out the IOU and asked a nurse to help read out the words. After confirming that it was an IOU, he felt relieved and asked Liu Fang to go home and get the passbook to withdraw the money.
Liu Fang came back quickly, and the family quickly paid the medical expenses, as if they were afraid that the other party would go back on their word.
Su Luo said gratefully: "Thank you! If it weren't for you, the child wouldn't know what to do!"
Li Hongwen always felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember what it was.
Su Luo didn't give them a chance to react and continued to drop the second bombshell.
"There is one more thing... I want to tell you." Su Luo looked at them embarrassedly and tucked the hair behind her ears: "Before, my family was poor and had to send the child away. Now that my family has money, I want to take the child back."
She paused, then quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't take the child away for nothing. I will compensate you three times the amount you spent when you bought it, just as a thank you for taking care of my daughter over the years. Do you think this is okay?"
"Three times?!" Li Hongwen and Liu Fang couldn't help but scream.
Liu Fang couldn't hold it in any longer and smiled: "Look how anxious you are. We are all mothers, and I understand your feelings."
Su Luo looked at her gratefully and asked, "I wonder how much money the traffickers took back then? How much did you spend when you bought it?"
"Oh, I spent two when I bought it..." Liu Fang was about to say.
Li Hongwen interrupted her immediately: "Two hundred yuan! We spent two hundred yuan at that time! The introducer asked for a high price, and your child is so pretty, so we bought it with great reluctance."
Liu Fang looked at him in surprise, but then quickly realized: "Oh, right... two hundred yuan."
Su Luo nodded in understanding: "In that case, I have to give you 600 yuan in subsidies, plus 520 yuan for medical expenses, I have to go home and get a total of 1120 yuan to give to you, right?"
She appropriately revealed some of the immaturity and greenness of a young girl, like a lady who did not understand the ways of the world, and had no feeling of being ripped off at all.
Li Hongwen was overjoyed and said quickly, "Yes, yes! That's right, that's the number!"
Su Luo smiled and nodded: "Okay! I'll go home and get the money right away. My home is quite far away in the neighboring county, so it might take a long time to go back and forth. I may not be able to make it tomorrow, but I will come here the day after tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"So far?" Liu Fang was a little hesitant.
Su Luo saw her hesitation, as if she was afraid that she would regret it, and hurriedly said: "I will come soon! I will come as soon as possible. Don't worry, my daughter and the IOU are here, and I will definitely come back!"
Li Hongwen thought about it and nodded reluctantly, "Then you better hurry up. We are also busy and don't have the time to wait for you."
Su Luo nodded quickly, "I don't want to trouble you, but it does take me so long to go back and forth. How about this, I'll find a nurse to take care of the child, you can go home if you want to be busy, I'll come over the day after tomorrow afternoon and wait for you to come and pay you."
"That's not necessary. My wife and I can take turns to look after her in the hospital." Li Hongwen was still cautious and kept an eye on the child, so he wasn't afraid that someone wouldn't come.
Su Luo said gratefully: "That's fine, then I won't hire a nurse?"
"No need, no need to invite me!" Liu Fang spoke much more politely. Her mind was now full of the sudden 1,000 yuan. When she looked at Su Luo, her eyes were shining, as if she was looking at a god of wealth.
Su Luo mentioned the apple: "I took this apple away?"
"You carry it, you carry it!" Liu Fang said hurriedly.
Su Luo smiled at her and said, "I'm used to buying apples for myself, is that okay?"
"Of course no problem!" Liu Fang's attitude changed 180 degrees.
Su Luo then left with a bag of apples.
She did go home, and when she returned home with the apples, the two children were playing at Aunt Niu's house.
Seeing her coming back, the two little guys rushed out directly: "Mom!"
Su Luo was very strong. She could hold a child in one hand while holding the apple. She secretly mouthed "thank you" to Aunt Niu.
Aunt Niu smiled knowingly, raised her chin and told her to go home quickly.
Ever since Aunt Niu shared her concerns with her in the kitchen last time, the two of them had not had any overt communication.
Su Luo took the two boys home, washed the apples and gave them to them to eat.
"Mom! How is my sister? When will she come back?" Gu Yi asked anxiously.
Gu Er also hurriedly asked: "Aunt Niu said she was sick and hospitalized, what's going on?"
Seeing the two little guys caring so much about their youngest, Su Luo felt a little warm in her heart and comforted them, "It's okay, little sister just got burned, she will be well soon, mom will pick her up tomorrow night, don't worry, our family will be reunited soon!"
"Really?!" The two little guys were so excited that they jumped and shouted while holding the apples and cheered excitedly.
Su Luo also laughed: "Really! Don't worry!"
She also reminded them, "For the next two days, you should stay at home and be good. If there are vegetables in the kitchen, you can take them to Aunt Niu's house and let Aunt Niu cook for you, okay? Help more in the kitchen and don't let Aunt Niu work alone."
"Don't worry, Mom!" Gu Yi said calmly and obediently, "I'll rush to wash the dishes. I won't let Aunt Niu get tired!"
Gu Er quickly said, "I helped too! I helped light the fire, and Aunt Niu praised me for my good firework!"
"That's good!" Su Luo touched their heads.
Another reason she went home was because the chicken farm was going to deliver chickens this afternoon and she had to deal with this matter.
Su Luo waited until the chicken farm delivered the chickens before she began to leisurely process the chicken and cook for the two children.
The next day, she pushed her chicken stall to sell braised meat. After coming back, she washed things and then rushed to the county town.
County hospital.
Li Hongwen couldn't hold it anymore after guarding for a whole night, so he asked Liu Fang to stay here and went back to sleep.
