Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 81 Why should I pay alone?

Seeing a doctor and taking care of someone are small things.

There are many children, including several daughters-in-law and several daughters. If it is not possible, even the sons can take care of them.

But what about money?
Going to the city to see a doctor costs money.

None of us go to big hospitals often. We probably don’t even know which way the hospital door opens, and how can we pay for the huge medical bills?

So everyone dared not speak.

At this time, whoever interrupts will shift the topic to someone else.

It’s easy to come up with ideas, but what if you need to take a stand?

Agree is definitely consent, but if you agree you have to pay immediately, what should you do?
Where does the money come from?
When Li Muyang launched this project, he thought of such a moment in advance.

It's all the fault of poverty.

If all the brothers were rich, or if there were even a few rich people among them, this matter would be easy to solve.

But the reality is that everyone is poor.

The only one who was slightly better was the youngest brother Mu Feng.

Now Li Muyang also has a certain amount of income.

But only a little bit.

We don’t yet have the capital to proudly say, ‘You don’t have to worry, I’ve taken care of this’.

Therefore, he must and it is necessary to bring everyone together.

Not to mention the first wave, at least let everyone be his backing.

His idea is that personal heroism is not suitable for family stability. Any time such a prominent person appears in a team, it will be a huge destructive force to the team.

The result of this is either that everyone else is fishing in troubled waters and is unwilling to take the initiative, or that others can't stand his personal excellence and completely isolate him.

"Of course, seeing a doctor will cost money..."

When Li Muyang mentioned money, only Li Mufeng still smiled lightly and did not show any particular surprise.

Others, especially Li Mudi, had muscles on their faces trembling, looking very anxious.

The hand that was originally placed under the table also moved to the table. His left and right hands were tightly crossed, showing his nervous mood at the moment.

Li Mutian dug out a pot of cigarettes from the pot bag and took out a match.

"laugh!"

After the match was lit, he moved it to the smoking pot and rotated it back and forth, sucking hard while rotating it. The tobacco in the smoking pot was gradually ignited and turned bright red.

Relatively speaking, the two sisters-in-law are relatively emotionally stable.

The second sister-in-law's face was full of worries, probably because of her mother-in-law's health and the money for medical treatment.

Sister-in-law Milan Lan's face was indifferent, and she could even see some complaints and unwillingness from it.His face was very dark and looked a little scary in the night.

Li Muyun, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed. Qian Xiaoyu next to him stabbed his man countless times with an accusing look in his eyes.

"Brother, let me use the fire."

Li Mudi shivered and took out the cigarette paper and cigarette bag from his coat pocket. He found that there was half a cigarette in the cigarette paper that he had extinguished before finishing it. He held it in his mouth and then searched all over his body but could not find any matches. .

"Give."

Li Mutian gave him the match, and he lit the cigarette and took a long drag.

After more than ten seconds of silence, the smoke circled around in his lungs and was spit out from his mouth again.

"Lao Wu, go on!"

Li Mudi sighed and said helplessly and miserably.

"As for the money issue, I have also made some general inquiries. I estimate that it costs 500 yuan, or more."

Li Muyang had a clear view of everyone's expressions, and did not want to continue to be pretentious, and was ready to directly throw out his ideas.

"Now that Mom is here with me, I will pay the bulk of the money. You guys can give it to me depending on the situation. If you have some money, give me more. If you don't have it, give me less. 100 yuan is not too much for me. I will give you a dime." Not too little.”

"Those who have money will contribute, and those who have the ability will contribute. If my mother does have to be hospitalized, it won't be a matter of just a day or two. She will definitely stay in the hospital for a while, and everyone will need to help take care of her."

After Li Muyang finished speaking, he looked around at everyone again, and his eyes fell on Li Mutian.

"Brother, this is what I think. Let's see if this works?"

Seeing Li Muyang transfer the baton to his hand, Li Mutian was not in a hurry to express his position. He continued to take a puff of the cigarette and found that the cigarette pot had been extinguished unknowingly.

He turned the head of the pot and looked at it, then knocked the pot on the heel of his shoe, and the ash was knocked to the ground.

There was a thick smell of smoke and tar in the air.

He placed the empty smoking pot on the table and sighed.

"Ah~"

"Everyone must have heard what Lao Wu said."

He looked at everyone, everyone had different expressions.

Li Mudi's face was earth-colored, as if it were an eggplant beaten by frost, and was wilted.

Li Muyun's face was full of embarrassment and he looked embarrassed.

Li Muyang was quietly waiting for everyone's opinions. He was in a very calm mood. No matter how everyone expressed their opinions, he was actually ready.

Li Mufeng was still the same as before, with a faint smile.

He didn't speak much all night. He looked at whoever the brothers spoke to, neither objecting nor approving.

Kind of like a bystander.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Mutian knew that they were all waiting for his eldest brother to express his stance.

He glanced at his wife helplessly.

Milan Lan ignored him.

"Then let's do it. I think what Lao Wu said is right. If there is really a chance for mother's illness to be cured, then we sons must not give up, right?"

"I know everyone's life is very stressful, but no matter how tense it is, I still have to take care of my mother's illness. Without my mother, where would we be, right?"

"Let's get it together first..."

He hesitated slightly and said first: "I'll raise 60 yuan..."

"Where did you get 60?"

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Milan Lan, his voice was quite high.

"Didn't I get a piece of wood some time ago? I originally planned to carve a Guanyin. Since I need the money now, let's give it to someone else. Someone is willing to pay 50. Let me talk about it and maybe I can get 60."

Milanlan was stunned.

There was also a flash of distress in his eyes, "I'm too lazy to care about you."

Her husband was giving away a piece of wood that he had treasured for many years to someone else. As a wife, what could she say?

After all, it is a matter of course to take care of your mother's illness.

"Second brother, it's your turn."

Li Mudi looked sad and said helplessly: "Big brother will pay 60. After I get the money back, I will give the kids the rest for school. I will draw 50...forget it, I will pay 60 too."

As soon as he said these words, he almost cried.

It was like a motorcycle running away in my mind.

He knew that he would have to save money for a long time to make up for the gap in motorcycle expenses.

A motorcycle is a dream, but a mother is a mother.

If my mother's illness can really be cured, what kind of motorcycle will she need?

"It's okay, shopkeeper, let's go back and save some money. We can live on, don't you think?"

Zhao Yali comforted her husband beside her.

Place your hand gently on the back of your husband's hand.She is Li Mudi's wife, so she naturally understands that her husband is a stingy person.

But my husband always makes the right choice at critical moments, instead of holding the money tightly in his hands.

Whether it's a mother, a child, or a wife, as long as he needs the money he needs, he is willing to spend it, only for himself...

He is really very thrifty and is almost never willing to waste a penny on himself.

What others see more is the shortcomings of her man.

Only she knows that her man Li Muchi is actually a very good man.

Now that the eldest and second brothers have set an example, the pressure is on Li Muyun.

He suddenly panicked.

Don't look at it. He just took out a handful of wallets, as if there was a lot of money in them.

But in fact, his wallet actually contained 15 yuan.

And this money is all their family's belongings.

If you want more, there really isn’t any.

But when he saw everyone's eyes turned to him, he couldn't directly say that he had no money. That would not be consistent with his status.

Not only can't he say he has no money, but he should say more. This is in line with the image he creates in daily life.

"I'll offer one hundred."

he blurted out.

Everyone was shocked and looked at him in surprise.

"Li Muyun, are you crazy?!"

Qian Xiaoyu beside him was so frightened that he shouted.

"You are nervous about taking out ten yuan now. Where did you get 100 yuan? Now that things have come to this, why are you still pretending to be fat? Let's be honest, can it kill people?"

"I have my way!"

Li Muyun subconsciously refuted his wife.

But in the eyes of the brothers, this panicked retort mode is just a matter of saving face.

"What can you do? Why don't you go to the card table again? Why are you like this? If you don't have the ability, don't say such big words. You...you..."

The more Qian Xiaoyu talked, the more aggrieved she became, and her originally delicate hair was messed up.

I almost cried out of anxiety.

"Lao Liu, if you are nervous, just go out less. The children at home are still young, so they have to live a good life."

Li Mutian didn't want to see conflicts between his brother and his sister-in-law, so he tried to dissuade them.

"Brother, please don't worry about it. I'm a manly man. I spit and tack. What I say is not fart. I can't take it back."

"You are so majestic, how can you live like this all day long? The eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, and fifth brother, please take care of him. He plays cards all day long when he has some money, and he loses every time he plays. , the family is in trouble, you see, you are still talking nonsense here..."

"Lao Liu, listen to big brother, just pay a little less, just pay 50."

Li Mu couldn't stand it anymore.

"Second brother, you are not doing this right. Mother is our common mother. Why should fifth brother take the lead? Look at fifth brother. There is no one in the house now. I don't even have a fifth sister-in-law. How dare you? Ah, Xiaofeng, do you think so?"

Li Mufeng was stunned.

What's going on? Why did the flames of war suddenly burn to me?

Seeing how everyone was looking at him, they knew it would be okay not to speak.

Smiling slightly, he said: "I think what Sixth Brother said makes sense. Sixth Brother made a lot of money, but he lost it all to others. Now that Mom needs money for medical treatment, it's just a good opportunity to quit gambling. Wouldn't it be better? You What do you mean, Brother Six?"

"Look, Xiaofeng understands what I mean."

Li Muyun, a bastard, doesn't know that others are doing it for his own good, but he is still here because he succeeded and is complacent.

Little did he know that Li Muyang broke his illusion with just one sentence.

"Mu Yun, how long will it take for you to collect 100 yuan?"

"what?"

Li Muyun was stunned.

He didn't expect this. Emotionally, he felt that he wouldn't let himself just take out 100 yuan. At least there would be a buffer time.

"Anyway, I will think of a way. Just don't worry about me. But fifth brother, you have to tell me clearly when you need it."

Li Muyang glanced at his mother's room with a bit of worry, "I heard from the doctor that if you want to treat this disease, you need to treat it quickly. The longer it takes, the less likely it is to be cured.

So, I talked about this matter with my brothers today. On the one hand, it is about money, and on the other hand, it is time. I want my mother to go to the hospital as soon as possible. I don’t know what you mean? "

Li Muyang suddenly became more organized, but the other brothers obviously didn't have enough brains. Every time he finished speaking, everyone would fall into a brief silence.

If no one speaks, the last look will be towards Li Mutian.

It depends on the big brother if everything is undecided.

This time, Li Mufeng took over, "I think what Fifth Brother said makes sense. Since everyone has no objections to my mother's medical treatment, it should be done sooner rather than later. It's almost the end of April. In my opinion, the Dragon Boat Festival You can go after that.”

"After the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Li Muyang felt that this time had been a bit long.

There were still about 10 days before the Dragon Boat Festival, and he wanted to send his mother to the hospital immediately. The sooner the better.

But after all, the matter is not his alone, it still depends on everyone's opinions.

If one person talks too much about his thoughts, other people will lose interest in speaking and gradually become too lazy to participate.

"I think it will be good after the Dragon Boat Festival. If my mother has to be hospitalized and won't be able to come back for a while, we can't let her spend the Dragon Boat Festival in the hospital, right?"

Li Muyun immediately caught up with the conversation.

There is no other reason, it is purely a buffer time.

He needed time to scrape together the money.

100 yuan, his salary for one and a half months.

"Since everyone thinks that the Dragon Boat Festival is okay, let's do it after the Dragon Boat Festival. There will be a turnaround date. We will also arrange how to take care of my mother. Lao Wu can't take care of her alone."

The second sister-in-law spoke for the second time.

She was attentive and mentioned a key issue, who would take care of her mother-in-law in the hospital.

It is important to collect money for patients to be hospitalized, but how to accompany and care for them is also a troublesome issue.

It's not a matter of a day or two.

Moreover, taking care of patients in the hospital is hard and tiring, and it is no easier than doing farm work.

Li Muyang was thinking about how to raise this issue, but his second sister-in-law named him.

He smiled gratefully at his second sister-in-law.

Li Mutian said: "Everyone can take turns taking care of things in the hospital. With so many brothers and sisters, one family can arrange for eight or nine days if they arrange one day."

"We have some problems at home, brother," Qian Xiaoyu interrupted helplessly, "Our children are still young, and Li Muyun is away from home all day long. I have to take care of the children and can't spare any time."

"You do a lot of things, and everyone else can do it, but you can't do it?"

Li Muyun turned around and scolded his wife softly, feeling that her wife's words had refuted his face and made him unable to hold his head high in front of his brothers.

Qian Xiaoyu was already depressed about what happened just now, and was trying to think of ways to retaliate against Li Muyun. When he saw him taking the initiative to hit the knife edge, he immediately became rude and showed no mercy at all.
