Chapter 284 【284】Brothers take responsibility

After He Meizhen heard Su Qingfu's explanation, she was even more surprised by Su Tiejun's money.

"Are you sure your dad took out 20 yuan?" She reconfirmed in disbelief.

"Of course I'm sure, we calculated the money clearly, how could there be any mistakes?"

"My God, 20, where did he get the money?"

"I don't know about that. In fact, I also felt very strange at the time. He always said that people without money suddenly took out the 20 yuan!"

"You didn't ask?"

"I asked why. Anyway, it's not my money. It's good to have money to invest."

"That's right, you are a person who doesn't care about anything, but how did he get the money? Could it be that he borrowed it from someone else?" He Meizhen couldn't help guessing.

"Probably not. A person like Dad probably wouldn't borrow money by himself, and no one would lend him money. I guess it's just the retirement money he saved penny by penny over the years." Su Qingchun analyzed.

He Meizhen knew Su Tiejun well, and what Su Qingchun said was right, it was impossible for someone like Su Tiejun to borrow money.

She echoed: "You're right, whoever lends money to him, such a stingy old man, most likely the money is his own."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help sighing again, "Hey, he has been reluctant to buy even a piece of clothing for so many years. He eats pickles every day at home. If I eat more pickles, he will be scolded by him. He can tell the truth. What I want is to save money on food and expenses, but I didn't expect to save 20 yuan.

"The 20 yuan has been saved by him all his life. I guess it's his coffin book. He should have taken it all out now. No wonder he vomited blood in anger. This time it's all gone. No one can stand it."

He Meizhen said this very naturally, not as reluctant as imagined.

In fact, for He Meizhen, the money really has nothing to do with her. No matter whether she is cheated or not, she knows that the money will not be spent on herself. Su Tiejun must be preparing for her old age, so naturally It won't be so sad.

"The question is what should we do now?" Su Qingfu suddenly asked again.

"What should I do?"

"The cheated money is not only from Dad, but also Qingfeng's money?"

"Now you know that you have Qingfeng's money?" He Meizhen said, "Why did you go there?"

"Qingfeng worked so hard on the construction site, and his wife ran away. The little money he earned was used to educate his children. It is estimated that he saved all the money."

"Yeah, he means all his money."

"Then you still lie to him."

"Mom, I really didn't lie to him. Didn't I look at making money at the time? Thinking about how difficult it was for him, I just dragged him into the gang and wanted him to earn more."

"What do you earn? If you have money, it's for those who get up early. You're such a slob, even if the pie falls from the sky, you won't be able to pick it up. You still have money? Who will believe it? Only Qingfeng, he He is an honest man, only he will believe you." He Meizhen accused unceremoniously.

"Mom, it's already this time, is it interesting for you to say such things again?"

"I'll tell you whether it's interesting or not. If you don't say it, you won't have a long memory. Think about it, how many people have you harmed?"

It was not a problem for Su Qingchun to see that his mother and younger brother were arguing in the ward like this, so he said: "Okay, this is the ward, please keep your voice down, don't wake up Dad, and the patients in other wards are also sleeping. Woolen cloth."

He Meizhen first checked that the hospital bed next to her was indeed very quiet. She lowered her voice and said, "I really committed a crime. I don't know how I gave birth to a child like you. I really have a placenta."

"Mom, don't talk about it, the thermos is out of water, why don't you go get some water."

Su Qingchun wanted to distract his mother, so that everyone could calm down.

He Meizhen also knew that it was not good to be in the ward like this, so she said, "Okay, then I'll fetch water first, and I don't want to see this little bastard again."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the hot water bottle, but she turned around and said after walking two steps, "I warn you, don't expect your brother to take the money now, and find a way by yourself, if I find out, you will still beat your brother Pay attention, don't think about me taking care of your children in the future."

He Meizhen left after finishing speaking.

After He Meizhen left, Su Qingfu looked at Su Qingchun pitifully.

This time Su Qingchun finally understood that this younger brother is a bottomless pit.

"Don't look at me, I have no money now. The money I gave you before was borrowed from my classmates. You also know that your sister-in-law is divorcing me because of this. I have neither the ability to pay you back nor the money." I won't pay you back, you really let me down, this money, only you can figure out a way."

Su Qingchun finally knew how to refuse.

After speaking, he glanced at his father on the hospital bed, patted Su Qingfu lightly, and motioned for him to go out.

When the two walked to the door, Su Qingchun said again: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. While Mom is away, let me tell you the truth about Dad's illness. The doctor said he might have stomach cancer."

"Ah, cancer!"

"Keep your voice down, because you're afraid that Dad won't wake up, right?"

Su Qingfu first glanced at the silence in the ward, and asked, "Is that serious?"

"What do you think, can cancer not be serious? And my classmate told me that Dad's disease is likely to be in the late stage. If the cancer cells don't metastasize, an operation will be needed. This is a major operation, and the cost of the later operation may not be as high. need a lot of money."

"Ah? Then what should we do? Where did we get the money?"

"I will pay for the surgery."

"That's good."

At this moment, Su Qingchun glared at Su Qingfu.

Su Qingfu hurriedly explained: "I don't have any money, I can't get it out even if you ask me, don't you also have money?"

"I will find a way to pay for Dad's hospitalization fee, so don't worry about it."

"Oh."

"You can figure out what to do with the money you owe yourself."

"Ok."

"But there is one more thing I need your help with."

"What's going on?"

"I'm busy at work every day, so I can only visit my father occasionally. My mother's legs and feet are not good, and she has to take care of the family, so I think that when my father has an operation, I must have someone to take care of me. Your hospitalization fee If you don’t come out, you have to help take care of Dad, right?”

"Oh, this, that's natural, I will take care of it."

"Okay, let's talk about it then."

"Hey, why are you all standing outside? What will you do when your dad is done?" He Meizhen who came back from fetching water saw the two brothers standing outside and scolded.

"Mom, Dad's condition is basically stable now. I still have things to do over there, so I'll go back to the department first. Call me or find Dr. Chen if you have anything to do."

"Well, go get busy, I'll find that doctor if I have something to do."

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Su Qingchun patted Su Qingfu on the shoulder and said, "Then dad, you should spend more time."

"Brother, I see, let's go."

After hearing this, Su Qingchun went back to his department with peace of mind.
