within Temptation

Chapter 24 Waiting for you here
When I rushed to the hospital, I saw my sister holding my nephew Liangliang standing outside the emergency room.I hurried up to greet her, and shouted, "Sister, how's the situation?"

When my sister saw me, she was overjoyed and said, "You're here? How's it going? Did you bring the money?"

I saw the bright light in my sister's hand, it was almost time to go to bed, and she was lying on her mother's shoulder, drowsy.So I stretched out my hands and took him from my sister's hand, and while holding him in my arms, he said, "I have a friend who will send the money right away. Is brother-in-law's father okay? Where are they now?" ?”

My sister seemed to have been holding Liangliang for a long time, her hands were empty, and she immediately shook her hands to relax her tired muscles.Tilting his head to the emergency room behind him, he said: "I've been observing inside, and I'm waiting to pay the hospitalization fee and be transferred to the ward for care. Alas, once I get sick this time, I'm afraid it won't get better in a short time. This hospitalization , I don’t know how much it will cost. By the way, how much money did your friend bring? Just now, Liangliang’s grandma brought all the cash from their family, and it was only 700 yuan. Your brother-in-law and I didn’t even have [-] yuan. Yes. If your friend doesn’t bring enough money, we’ll have to borrow some.”

As soon as I was in a daze, I immediately did some calculations in my mind. Grandma Liangliang only brought 700 yuan. Even if my sister had 500 yuan here, it would only add up to 500 yuan.Counting the [-] or so yuan I have here, it is still not half of the advance payment for hospitalization.If Shi Shanshan only brought [-] yuan, she might still not be able to pay the hospitalization expenses.But it's a little bit off, so it's not a big deal.The problem is that even if the fee is fully collected, it is only an advance payment.During the patient's hospitalization, the expenses can easily exceed the budget, and when the patient is discharged from the hospital to settle the bill, he does not know how much more will be added.The more serious problem is that in this way, my sister and brother-in-law's family can't keep a few cents on them.The patient needs treatment, but it is not the patient's, but also food.In the days to come, how can you live without money?
It seems that it was a little short to borrow one thousand and five from Shi Shanshan just now. If I could borrow two thousand, I wouldn't be so nervous.I secretly regretted it in my heart, but if I were to call Shi Shanshan again at this time, I couldn't say it anymore.Forget it, arrange the patient to be hospitalized first, if it’s really not possible, ask Sun Dong to borrow some more tomorrow, so you don’t have to rush to pay back the money, and when you have money in hand, it’s not too late to pay him back slowly.

So, I said to my sister: "It's okay, don't worry about the money, just leave everything to me. Let's go, I'll go in and see my brother-in-law's father."

I hugged Liangliang and walked into the emergency room, where I saw my brother-in-law and his mother surrounded by a hospital bed in the intensive care unit.Lying on the hospital bed was my brother-in-law's father, with an oxygen tube inserted into his nostrils, and an ECG monitor beside the bed.Judging from the data on the monitor, the old man's heartbeat is very weak, and his condition is not optimistic.

I walked to the hospital bed and called softly: "Brother-in-law, how is the situation?"

My brother-in-law turned around, saw it was me, and said, "Xiaoyong, are you here?"

I saw my brother-in-law's face full of worry and anxiety, and I knew his father was in a bad situation, but I'm not a doctor, so I really can't help.I had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, the old man's illness will definitely recover. By the way, the hospitalization fee will be collected in a while, and we can go through the admission procedures later."

My brother-in-law nodded, patted my arm gratefully, and said, "Xiaoyong, thank you!"

I said, "They're all a family, what are you talking about?"

My brother-in-law's mother, who had been leaning over to pay attention to her husband, heard our voices and turned around to see me.Her face was full of worries and worries just like her son's.Seeing it was me, he said, "Xiaoyong, I heard that you borrowed money? Did you borrow it? How much did you borrow?"

I knew that she was worried that she didn't have enough money, and her husband would not be able to be hospitalized in time, so she hurriedly said, "I have borrowed it, Grandma Liangliang, don't worry, the money will arrive soon, and I can go through the admission procedures in a while."

My brother-in-law's mother seemed to relax a little, and said, "Really? That's great, alas, old man, this is a lifesaver. Thank you, Xiaoyong! We will return the money to you as soon as possible."

I anxiously said, "What's the matter? I'm Liangliang's uncle. Grandpa Liangliang is sick. I should pay the money."

My brother-in-law's mother seemed to want to say something, when my sister came over and said, "Mom, don't worry about money, Dad's body is more important than anything else. Xiaoyong, when will your friend arrive? "

I estimated the time. If Shi Shanshan had taken a taxi, she would have arrived by now, so I said, "I made an appointment to wait for her at the gate of the hospital, so it's about time I arrived?"

My sister immediately reached out and hugged Liangliang from my arms, and said, "Then what are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and wait for your friend?"

I had no choice but to oh, and said: "Then I'll go!" I hurried out of the emergency room and came to the gate of Ren'ai Hospital.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, I saw a red taxi driving quickly and stopped directly in front of me.As soon as the car door opened, it was Shi Shanshan who got out of the car.

I rushed up to greet her and said, "Shanshan, are you here?"

Shi Shanshan closed the car door, immediately opened a bag in her hand, and said, "Are you in a hurry? I brought the money, 3000 yuan, is it enough?"

I was stunned, and couldn't help but said, "Three thousand? Didn't you say...you lent me fifteen thousand?"

Shi Shanshan gave me a blank look and said, "What? Too much?"

Of course I don't think it's too much, but I'm just wondering how she took three thousand when I only dared to say that I borrowed one thousand and five thousand?After seeing Shi Shanshan open the bag, she took out a thick stack of cash from the bag, stuffed it into my hand, and said, "Why are you so dazed? Hurry up and pay the money!"

I suddenly understood, this Shi Shanshan seems to be more thoughtful than me.She knew that my whole family could only scrape together less than half of the hospital expenses.If you really only lend me the other half, then after paying the advance payment, you will not be able to live in the future.It can't be seen that she usually laughs and laughs as if she has no heart and no lungs, but she can't think that this girl is actually quite careful.

I didn't hesitate anymore. With this 3000 yuan, at least my sister's family will not have difficulties in life in the next few days.Shi Shanshan already owes favors here anyway, how much is owed, isn't it the same?
So, I nodded and said: "Thank you!" After taking the money, I quickly ran to the emergency room.After running a few steps, I stopped again, turned around, looked at Shi Shanshan, who had helped me a lot, and said, "Don't leave yet, okay? When I'm done here, I'll come out and issue you an IOU. "

"IOU?" Shi Shanshan couldn't help but sneered when she heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
