Chapter 43: Four Strange Brothers and Sisters
As soon as the money was paid, the doctor arranged the operation. The next day, they had to stay in the hospital for a while after the operation, so Li Nanshan asked them to go back, have a good sleep, and come back tomorrow.
Except for the eldest brother who was polite, the second and fourth brothers were not polite and left as a matter of course.
Before leaving, Li Nanqiu called her third brother out to talk, and the first thing she said was, "Brother, I support you marrying Tao Xiaoxi."
Li Nanqiu looked at his sister for a long time and was speechless. What kind of vicious words were these!
"I've met her. Her good looks are secondary. This woman is courageous and generous. She is more than qualified to be a good wife. I'm just worried about one thing." Li Nanqiu hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Li Nanshan's curiosity was aroused.
"I'm worried that she won't be satisfied with just being your good wife." Li Nanqiu said meaningfully.
Li Nanshan smiled and said, "Just study hard. You don't need to worry about this."
"Why, little brother, do you have a plan?"
Li Nanshan raised his hand and knocked the little sister on the head, "Girls, don't be so talkative. No one likes you."
Li Nanqiu rubbed his head and said, "I don't necessarily like others. You guys just care too much about what others think. If you ask me, people should live for themselves. Why bother to care about what others think? Even a Bodhisattva may not be able to control it."
These words made Li Nanshan feel mixed emotions. He yearned for it, but couldn't do it.
"Go back to school. You don't need to come tomorrow. My elder brother, second brother and I are here. Just study hard."
"I can't imagine that the old man will say that I have no conscience." Li Nanqiu pouted.
"I think you are heartless and disrespectful. You are the one who called me old man?" Li Nanshan frowned and pretended to be angry.
"Let's go." Li Nanqiu waved his hand and pretended to be impatient.
Looking at his sister's disappearing back, Li Nanshan's expression became serious, and he murmured: I'm afraid that such an outstanding person has been lost.
In the ward, Old Man Li was lying on his side facing the door. When he saw his son coming in, he turned over and faced his back to him.
Li Nanshan knew that his father was still angry, so he didn't get angry. He picked up an apple and was about to go out to wash it, but his father called him from behind.
"If you don't give up, I'll have to take this medicine."
Li Nanshan was stunned. Seeing his father's stubborn and thin figure, a thousand thoughts were tied up in his heart. Finally, Li Nanshan sighed and comforted his father, "Don't worry, the woman you dislike will also dislike your son."
"Why, she, a divorced woman with a child, doesn't like you?" Old man Li seemed to have suffered great humiliation. He turned over in an instant and his voice became louder.
Li Nanshan was startled by his father's action, thinking it was a last gasp of energy. He was about to call a doctor, but found that his father was just angry. He shook his head and said, "What did you expect? So please stop and don't scare my mother."
Old man Li curled up back in his hospital bed and instantly became that thin and sickly old man again.
The next day, the three sons and one daughter of the Li family gathered together. The four brothers and sisters looked at each other, as if they were not used to it. They couldn't remember how long it had been since the four of them had gathered together in such a neat row. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
As the eldest brother, Li Nanlin wanted to express his concern for his younger sister and asked, "You're almost a sophomore in high school, aren't you? Are you having a hard time studying?"
As soon as the words came out, the second brother laughed to death, and he said, "Big brother, she has already finished her second year of high school and still has a year to graduate. You see, you really don't care about your little sister."
The eldest brother was embarrassed, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at his sister, looking like he had done something wrong.
Li Nanqiu stepped forward to comfort him, "It's okay, big brother. Second brother wasn't right either. I'm already a senior in high school and will graduate this semester."
The second brother, Li Nanhai, still had a smile on his face, but he could no longer laugh.
"Well, little sister, as soon as dad finishes the operation, your second brother will immediately go to greet the village chief and let you go to teach." Li Nanhai tried to save his image.
But he didn't expect that Li Nanqiu would still not be impressed. "Second brother, how did you know that I couldn't get into university?"
"What? You're still planning on going to college?" Li Nanhai didn't bother to hide his feelings anymore and went ballistic. "My family is in so much debt, how can we afford to send you to college?"
Li Nanqiu rolled his eyes at him. "You're talking as if you were the ones paying for my high school tuition. Don't worry, I don't need any money from my family."
"How dare you say you didn't spend a penny from your family?" Li Nanhai argued.
"Brother, do you think I should go to college?" Li Nanqiu pointed his finger at his third brother Li Nanshan, who had remained silent.
"Go and study if you pass the exam." That's all Li Nanshan said.
"Okay, young man, when I pass the exam, you pay for my college education and I will take care of you in your old age." Li Nanqiu started the transaction on the spot.
Li Nanshan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after you pass the exam."
The second son couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he pulled the eldest son and said, "I think it's over. We will never be able to pay off this debt."
The eldest brother frowned and was also worried about this. He actually agreed with the second brother's idea. Girls will get married sooner or later, so why study so much? There has never been a college student in Mantou Village. If the first one happened to the Li family, and it was a girl, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
But he is honest and loyal by nature, so even if he disagrees, he will not oppose it like the second brother, and he will just not express his opinion.
When the door of the operating room opened, the four siblings thought it was over and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly the doctor who came out told them that complications had occurred during the operation and that emergency treatment was required. A critical illness notice was issued on the spot.
