A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 337: Regret for the Past
Things that can be solved with money are not problems.

In the past, Li Xiang thought this was a bit vulgar.

These are all the idle moans of the rich.

But now that he has encountered this kind of thing, his mood is aligned with this sentence.

My eldest sister helped me calculate the cost of Uncle Li’s treatment. It should be a few hundred if it’s a dozen, but it will never exceed a thousand anyway.

This money can make Uncle Li retreat even if he doesn't know the specific amount.

It can be seen that curing a serious disease requires losing a lot of money. This impression is deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people.

Li Xiang was afraid that his uncle would not be able to go, so after dinner in the afternoon, he asked Li Xiaodi to inform his two cousins ​​to come over.

Everyone has to discuss what to do next.

This treatment lasted for a year. Although I did not stay in the hospital all the time, the subsequent treatment and medication could not be far away.

But Uncle Li waved his hand and refused, and said: "No need to say more, why do you think we old people don't like to hang out at your place? Just sitting there for a while makes me feel weak. It's broad daylight, and the house It’s not bright inside.”

"How big is your house? There are many people in the family who can't move around. It's better to let your parents come to our house. It's a few square meters bigger than your house." The first cousin's refrigerator factory benefits are better than those of the second cousin. The water bottle factory is better.

"I have become a full-time employee this year, and my salary is much better than yours. I can buy whatever our father wants to eat." The second cousin insisted.

If nothing unexpected happens, the old couple will stay in the city permanently in the next year.

Open the outer handkerchief, and inside there are mostly paper notes of one yuan and fifty cents, but five yuan is rarely seen.

"Come live with us. It's closer to the hospital anyway, and my sister-in-law has to take care of the children, so there's no way around it." On the way here, the second cousin discussed with his second cousin-in-law that they would pick up the two old people. Go and live at home.

Two cousins, you argue and I argue, and soon they become red-faced and refuse to give in to the other.

Everyone in the room felt a little sad looking at the dimes of money.

"There are one hundred and seventy-three yuan here. You two elders can use it first. After I pay my salary every month, I will take out fifteen yuan and send it over." The second cousin said as he handed the money forward.

The first cousin and the second cousin want to fight for it again.

The area of ​​the house he was assigned could accommodate two more beds than that of his second cousin.

Fortunately, the Li family can talk together, and with the Li family vouching for them, it is not difficult to rent a single room.

The two cousins-in-law remained silent, acting as if they obeyed their masters in everything.

Logically speaking, the old couple both have rural household registrations, so it might not be that easy to rent a house in the city.

The second cousin was the first to realize that his parents were not being polite to them, but that they really didn't want to live there.

"What's wrong with the apprentice? Don't I still have savings? Don't worry, my dad won't suffer from me." The cousin didn't realize that the low salary was a good reason.

Country people are used to living in spacious areas. At his age, Uncle Li can't bear the fact that four or five people have to live crowded in that small house.

"Okay, okay, our whole family is not going. This is what your father and I are thinking about. We will find a single room next to the hospital and rent it first." The eldest aunt said to her two sons.

But after the quarrel, there was no side to it, and I got tired of listening to it.

As the elders, Uncle Li and Auntie felt very upset when they heard the younger generation vying to take them in and raise them.

He immediately changed his mind and said, "It's fine if you two don't want to live there. Then I'll pay for the rent here, as well as the money for medical treatment. Although we, as a couple, can't afford it all, we can." We will give you as much as you want." As he said this, the second cousin took out a large bundle of money from his pocket.

I'm afraid this is not something I've saved over several years of hard work, but I got it all.

The cousin then took out a wad of money. His money was all of large denominations, including five yuan and ten yuan.

In total, there was someone in his early three hundred years, and he was placed next to his eldest aunt.

He is still an apprentice now, and the salary he gets will be enough to make ends meet. Naturally, this money is not what he is saving now. But when we were in the country, my uncle and aunt felt guilty and gave them subsidies because their second cousin moved into the city.

Later, the cousin was also arranged to enter the city by Li Xiang.

Before leaving, he returned all the subsidies to his parents.

The eldest uncle and the eldest aunt do not care about their son, but also care about their grandson, because they are afraid that their only grandson will not have a good life in the city.

He refused to accept all the returned money and insisted on leaving 300 yuan for his cousin.

Now he added a small change and sent it back.

Originally, the old couple did not intend to accept the money from their two sons.

But Uncle Li turned around and thought, he still had to spend money to cure the disease.

Besides, if they don't have enough money by then, they will have to talk to their sons.

It's better to collect it now. You won't be able to spend it all by then, so you can just return it.

Li Xiang looked at his two cousins ​​and saw that they were both very responsible. He was also happy for his uncle and aunt.

He smiled and comforted his first and second cousins: "You guys, don't suffer too much because of your uncle's illness. There is a sister taking care of you in the hospital. Even if the money is not enough, you still have me."

The uncle's family, when they heard him say this, were all grateful.

There is a big difference between facing the road ahead with support and without support.

At least the eldest and second cousins ​​didn't feel too heavy because of their uncle's illness.

The eldest aunt raised her eyes vaguely and glanced at her old man. She saw a smile on his face. He should have been relaxed, but for some reason, he couldn't relax.

If she could peek into Uncle Li's heart at this moment, I believe she would understand why.

It turned out that Uncle Li had no intention of opening his mouth to Li Xiangjia from the moment he knew what illness he had.

He made a decision in his mind. With so much money in his family, it would be best if he could cure his illness.

If it can't be cured, it's okay, everything is fate.

Although the relationship between the two families has become so close, when it comes to borrowing money, there is a threshold in his heart that he cannot get over.

Over the years, he often thought that if he hadn't been so quarrelsome with Shengli back then, his younger brother wouldn't have leukemia and wouldn't be willing to talk to him.

He had wondered more than once whether, if he had his share of money, this brother could be cured and live a few more days no matter how bad his condition was.

Now that he has a disease that costs a lot of money, if he is asked to speak to his nephew's family, he would rather die than lose this person.

Even in the short period of time from when he learned about his illness to now, he had thought about whether this was retribution.

Uncle Li watched the children discuss and arrange their next trip.

The shame in my heart is greater than the relief.

Blessed with children.

Muddy tears flowed from the corners of Uncle Li's eyes.

At that time, he was obsessed with lard and wanted to break up with him.

Even the brothers who grew up together did not see each other for the last time.
