On the other hand, Li Xiaoping saw that the misunderstanding was resolved and stopped pretending. After all, staying in the hospital still costs money.
The Li family stood there without moving, waiting for Lei Honghua to pay the bill.
But the money Lei Honghua paid had already been given to Qiao Jiangxin before the Li family came to pick it up.
Seeing that the Li family had no intention of paying the bill, Lei Honghua understood that they were waiting for her to express her opinion.
So she said to Li Xiaoping with a smile on her face, "Xiaoping, are you really not feeling uncomfortable?
This cannot be taken lightly. How about staying in the hospital for observation?
You see, we were in such a hurry just now, your parents were only worried about you and didn’t have any money on them.
How about you observe for another day while Mom goes to get the money? ”
Li Xiaoping shook her head. "Mom, I'm fine. The doctor also said it's nothing serious. Let's go home."
It was such a hot day, and I was all sticky and didn't bring anything with me.
Besides, there is a lot of work to do in the fields. What's the point of lying in the hospital? You have to pay for it. It's not as comfortable as being at home.
Seeing that his father-in-law and his mother-in-law looked a little unhappy, Qiao Jianhua secretly blamed his father-in-law for being so stingy at this time, but he still spoke to smooth things over.
"The doctor just checked me out, and he didn't prescribe any medicine. It shouldn't cost much. I happen to have some on me, so I'll go ask."
Lei Honghua noticed her son's dissatisfied look at her, and felt disappointed.
Then she thought again, her son was still working under Li Sanfa and she had to please his face, so she perked up and started making small talk, complimenting Gao Cuilan.
Knowing that Qiao Jiangxin and Qiao Youfu had gone to Lijiagou that morning and had caused a negative impact on the Li family's reputation, Lei Honghua immediately realized that the opportunity had come.
He patted his chest and said, "It's nothing. Lijiagou and Gaoshi Village are in the same direction. When we pass by Lijiagou later, we will shamelessly go into the house to ask for a bowl of water and explain to everyone."
"Don't worry, Miss Gao. Jianhua is still learning the craft from his in-laws. Even if I'm not doing this for my in-laws, I can't let you bear such a bad reputation for the sake of my own son!"
As they were talking, Qiao Jianhua arrived.
"It's messed up, Xiaoping, can you help? Come, I'll help you."
Li Xiaoping deliberately asked, "How much did it cost?"
She was frightened by her husband at her husband's house, so the money should be paid by her husband's family.
Now that her husband had paid, she deliberately asked her mother-in-law in front of her, just to let her know that she and her husband had paid for her.
When my mother-in-law comes home, she will give the money to me, or use the money to buy me some things and send them to Lijiagou.
Qiao Jianhua didn't understand the intricacies of this, and said, "I didn't even prescribe any medicine, so how much would it cost? Just the consultation fee and half a day's bed fee, a total of 1.4 yuan."
"Although the doctor said it's nothing serious, we can't be careless on the way. I have a classmate who lives in this town. I'll ask him to help me borrow a bullock cart or something..."
Qiao Jiuwang and his wife did not go to Gaoshi Village, but followed Li Sanfa's family to Lijiagou.
Just then he missed the three dogs who came to the village to report the news.
It was already 1:30 in the afternoon when Qiao Youfu and Qiao Jiangxin pulled the car to the grain station.
There were already two farmers standing outside the grain station, ready to sell grain.
Since the land was contracted to each household, everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized all of a sudden, and any land that could grow food would not be wasted.
Farmers treat the crops in the fields as if they were their own children. Even during the slack season, they have to take a walk around the fields before they feel at ease.
As a result, these few days have all been a good harvest.
Farmers have surplus grain, and more people are selling grain.
At two o'clock, the grain collectors arrived.
As soon as the iron gate was opened, Qiao Youfu pulled the cart and rushed in with everyone.
It's not that they don't have good manners, it's just that they are more anxious than others. At this time, Lei Honghua and the others must have known the news.
Maybe they have already chased us to town, so we have to put the money in our pocket quickly.
Qiao Jiangxin apologized to the two families in front of him and explained, "Uncle, aunt, I'm really sorry. My grandparents are in the hospital, and my family is waiting for money to save their lives."
The two families were also honest and simple-minded. After hearing what Qiao Jiangxin said, they hurriedly said, "You come first, you come first, saving lives is urgent."
The grain inspector came out with a grooved iron pick and poked and hit the sack that Qiao Youfu had unloaded from the cart.
The grains that came out of the trough on the iron mill were placed on a wooden grinding plate and rubbed. The husks were broken and the rice came out, proving that the millet was dried.
If it is wet, it will be powdery when rubbed.
The grain inspectors carried the grains over bag by bag, and then asked the porter to weigh them.
The purchase price of millet was 1.4 yuan, and more than 800 kilograms of millet were sold for more than 119 yuan.
Add soybeans and scallions.
Qiao Youfu and Qiao Jiangxin worked hard to pull over a cart of grain, and sold it for a total of 144.7 yuan.
Holding the money in his hand, Qiao Youfu's eyes lit up and his mouth opened wide, unable to close.
It was a lot of money! This was the first time he got so much money.
As he laughed, his eyes turned red.
Nowadays, a cartload of grain can be exchanged for more than one hundred yuan.
The two men who brought Qiao Jianhua almost filled a cart of grain from Lijiagou, but Qiao Jiuwang was unwilling to pay him a hundred yuan to marry Widow Zhang.
With trembling hands, Qiao Youfu counted the money twice but still couldn't get it right, so he stuffed the money into Qiao Jiangxin's pocket.
"Jiang Xin, count it. Take it. There's so much money. I'm nervous."
Qiao Jiangxin didn't hesitate to count the money in front of his uncle, then took out a handkerchief, put the money together with the money from selling pork, and stuffed it into his pocket.
It was already past lunch time, so the two men came out of the grain station and went to a state-owned restaurant, where they spent two dollars and twenty cents lavishly on ten large meat buns.
The uncle and she ate one by one as they hurried home.
Her mother is still pregnant.
Both of them were afraid that Qiao Youcai and his wife and Lei Honghua at home would suffer losses.
