Jiang Xi grabbed her mother's hand, her mother was still conscious, but her breathing was very hard, I saw her heart flickering and fluctuating a lot, and when I got closer, I could even hear her heart "dong dong" fast and heavy, beating deafeningly, giving people a feeling, as if the heart was winding up, beating uncontrollably, and like the lamp that was about to burn out, trying her last bit of strength to jump to death, until the oil ran out, the lamp was out of breath, and she was willing to stop.

"Mom!" Jiang Xi's tears had already flooded her vision, her mother slowly opened her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't have the strength.

At this time, the aunt next to her, who called Jiang Xi, she was a good friend of my mother-in-law, wiped a handful of tears and said to Jiang Xi, "Your mother has been working as a nanny for others in the past two months, cooking for a family of eight. Cleaning, the family is not very kind, but it can be regarded as hiring a nanny, hard to use your mother, cooking requirements are high, health requirements are also high, I saw that she was too tired, so I persuaded her not to do it, as a result, although this work is tired, but give more money, give six hundred yuan a month, she wants to hold on for three months, earn 1,800 yuan, save some milk powder money for her unborn grandson or granddaughter, she said, when the child is born, if the milk is enough, it is good to say, if it is insufficient, you have to drink milk powder, milk powder can not buy poor, poor drinking is easy to have problems, to buy famous brands, she also said that Xiao Jiang and Jiang Xi both earn money, in addition to paying off the mortgage, and then remove the living expenses, there is not much money left, and it is not enough to give the child milk powder...... Unexpectedly, she didn't last three months!".

That aunt was already in tears when she said this, and Jiang Xi and I had already burst into tears.

My mother-in-law, why are you so stupid, you have so many worries in your heart, you should tell us, we don't understand, just tell us, let us young people find a way!

Jiang Xi held her mother's hand tightly with one hand, her body was already weak and limp, leaning on my arms, tears flowing silently, sobbing and gasping.

At this time, a doctor came over to inspect, Jiang Xi quickly wiped his tears and asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?

The doctor said with a serious face, "Her condition has relapsed quite seriously, whether her life is in danger or not is difficult to say now, see if she has been relieved after the three bottles of medicine, it is a good thing to have relief, if it is not relieved, it is difficult to say, your family members have to pay the fee with me, the patient must be hospitalized, pay the hospitalization deposit first, 50,000 yuan." ”

Five...... Ten thousand?

As soon as I heard the number of money, my heart "chuckled", and I saw that Jiang Xi's face was also "brushed" white, I grabbed her hand tightly and said, "You are here with Mom, I'll find a way." ”

Jiang Xi blushed and said, "What can you think of? ”

I said, "I'll find someone to borrow it, and you promise me that you won't go anywhere, you will stay here with your mother, and you have to protect yourself and the child in your belly, and don't do anything else, okay?"

Jiang Xi looked at me, sobbed and nodded, I knew that she must be more uncomfortable than me, because it was her mother who was sick, and this kind of skin pain was not biological, and outsiders could not fully understand it.

Jiang Xi gave me her mother's ID card along with my salary card.

Since Jiang Xi and her mother do not have a Beijing hukou, Jiang Xi's mother used to work as temporary workers, and Jiang Xi was a freelancer, so neither of them had medical insurance, and they had to pay for their own medical treatment.

In our whole family, only I received more than 10,000 yuan in my salary card in Jiang Xi's hand.

I first found the doctor who treated Jiang Xi's mother, and I whispered to the doctor, "Doctor, I am Zheng Xinyan's family, and we only have more than 10,000 yuan on us now, can you first treat my mother-in-law's hospitalization, and then I will immediately find a way to borrow money." ”

The doctor was not surprised by my words, as if she was used to seeing patients who were short of money, and she just said with a blank face, "Can you promise to hand over the remaining 40,000 yuan by tomorrow?" Your mother-in-law's medicine is imported, very expensive, if her condition can get better tonight, she won't need to change the medicine tomorrow, 10,000 yuan can still last for three days, if her condition can't get better, I'm afraid she will have to change to a more expensive medicine, she has no medical insurance, all at her own expense, your 10,000 yuan can't last two days, if you owe money, the hospital will stop the medicine, then I have no choice. ”

I immediately said, "I understand, I understand, I'll try to figure it in as soon as possible and try to hand it over by tonight." ”

The doctor looked at me and said, "Okay, then you can go through the hospitalization procedures first! There are many people in the emergency department, which is not conducive to the patient's recovery, so let her go to the ward early to have a good rest." ”

"Okay, okay! Thank you, doctor!"

The doctor gave me a hospitalization slip, and I went to the hospitalization window to pay 10,000 yuan first, and then accompanied Jiang Xi, with the help of the nurse, to send my mother-in-law to the ward.

The ward is a four-bed room, but it is much quieter and more comfortable than in the emergency hall, but the hospital is the hospital, and there is always a feeling that it is full of white terror at a glance.

Jiang Xi's mother was inhaling oxygen with her eyes closed, and she didn't know if she was asleep or unconscious.

Jiang Xi sat beside her, holding her hand all the time, as if she was afraid of losing her mother.

I whispered to Jiang Xi, "I'll go out for a while!"

Jiang Xi nodded, she guessed what I was going to do.

When I walked out of the hospital, I immediately called my eldest sister, and when I encountered difficulties, the first thing I thought of was always my family, but my second sister answered the phone.

The second sister was quite happy to receive my call, "Brother, you haven't called for a long time, my sister is cooking, how are you? I heard that you and Jiang Xi have bought a house, congratulations!"

When she said this, I could feel that she was genuinely happy for me, and I was about to say something, and I didn't know how it would change her.

I said, "Second sister, we have bought a house, and the down payment for buying a house is all ...... earned by Jiang Xi."

"Ahh

"Second sister, now Jiang Xi's mother is sick and hospitalized, and she needs 50,000 yuan, we just bought a house, and now we only have 10,000 yuan left, I called this time to borrow some from you and my eldest sister. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, the second sister fell silent in an instant.

After about a minute, the second sister said, "Oh, I advised you not to be with Jiang Xi, I was afraid of this kind of thing, they don't even have medical insurance, we are all ordinary people, who can afford this? What do you say now?"

"I just want to borrow 20,000 yuan from you and my eldest sister. I said in a voice almost emotionless.

"It's not a matter of borrowing or not borrowing money, we will lend you 20,000 yuan, Jiang Xi's mother can get better if she is sick, the problem is that she is sick, once she is hospitalized, I am afraid it will be a bottomless pit, can 50,000 yuan be? 100,000 yuan may not come out, we have an old mother here who has a heart attack, more than 300,000 yuan was spent, and now she is not dead or alive in the hospital, she can stay up to thousands a day, and her son is rich and can afford it, can you withstand it......."

"Second sister!" I suddenly interrupted her with a roar, "I don't want to hear this now, I just want to borrow 20,000 yuan from each of you, you help me talk to the eldest sister, I swear, I will definitely pay you back in the future, Jiang Xi is still pregnant, I am really worried that she is in a hurry and angry." ”

I tried to control my emotions, but in the end, I choked up.

The second sister paused for a while and said, "Ah, Jiang Xi is pregnant, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

I said, "I wanted to tell you about it recently, but before I could share the good news with you, something like this happened." ”

The second sister was stunned again, "What's that...... Wait a minute, I'll discuss it with my sister, and then I'll call you back!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

I sat on the steps in front of the hospital with a momentary blank in my mind, thinking about what I would do if neither of my two sisters lent me money?

I've never opened my mouth, so I'm really embarrassed.

I just heard him say a few days ago that all the money he has in his hand is about to be spent for his new girlfriend, and the rest of the money is saved for a fixed time, why am I embarrassed to open my mouth?

Yang Xiaojun: People who have never had money transactions are even more difficult to borrow money from.

I hesitated for a long time, but I still pinned my hopes on my two sisters.

Half an hour later, neither the second sister nor the eldest sister called me back, and my heart became colder and colder.

There's no way, I can't give up my face in front of others, and I can't care so much in front of my sister, so I took the initiative to call my eldest sister's mobile phone again.

The second sister answered the phone, and this time she said cleanly, "I discussed with my sister, let's get 10,000 yuan for you first, do you think it's okay? We think that taking too much money may not be useful, and heart disease is not like other diseases." ”

What else can I say? This is obviously because I am afraid that I will not be able to exchange for borrowing too much! But what right do I have to blame my eldest sister and second sister? Twenty thousand is better than nothing! I don't want to think about anything now, I just want money.

"Okay, you guys can hit my account!"

I sent a message to my second sister about my bank card, and my second sister sent me a message that she would go to the bank to give me money immediately.

About half an hour later, I received 20,000 yuan from my second sister.

There is still a gap of 20,000 yuan, who should I borrow it from? Squad leader? Zhou Qiang, Yang Xiaojun? These three people are relatively close to me, and the others have so little contact, how can they open their mouths?

Just when I was struggling to choose one of these people to borrow money, I received a QQ text message from Jiang Xi: How much did you borrow, I borrowed 10,000 yuan here, and I have already got it.

As soon as I heard this, my heart brightened a little, and I immediately replied to her: I borrowed 20,000 yuan, and I have already got it.

She sent me another message: There are still 10,000 yuan left, let's get together, you come to me first!

Me: Okay!

I went back to the ward and saw Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi said, "I still have 5,000 yuan in my other bank card, which I earned before, and I haven't moved, and you should have more than 14,000 in your salary card, I borrowed 10,000, and you borrowed 20,000, so it's almost enough for 50,000." ”

"yes!" I was relieved to hear the news.

"Then you quickly get the money together, pay the fee, and don't delay my mother's treatment. ”

"Okay! I'll go. ”

The big money was 49,700 yuan, and Jiang Xi and I rummaged through our pockets again, and each person turned out more than 100 yuan.

"There is still a hundred dollars left to be enough for 50,000!"

In the end, this is the case, at that moment, my heart suddenly felt very sad, a hundred yuan will not be borrowed, but I think of the critical moment, I don't even have this hundred, I hate myself for not being capable.

The good friend of Jiang Xi's mother has not left yet, she has been by the side, she saw the two of us like this, and quickly said, "I have a hundred, don't cry children, I have more than two hundred on me, I will give them to you first, and you have to save some money for food!"

Jiang Xi took the money from the aunt's hand, and said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, auntie, when we have it, we will return it to you immediately." ”

"Oh, what is my money, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, hurry up and pay your mother first, you haven't eaten dinner yet, come back and buy a few buns to eat, pregnant women can't be hungry, don't starve the child." ”

"Okay!" I agreed, and took the money to pay the hospitalization fee.

When I came back, I really bought a few meat buns and bought a box of milk for Jiang Xi, along the way, when Jiang Xi couldn't see, my tears flowed uncontrollably, and when I arrived at the door of the ward, I wiped my tears away and walked in.

I divided three buns for Jiang Xi, two for that aunt, and I ate two.

Jiang Xi was really hungry, so he ate three buns in a few bites and drank another box of milk.

"Jiang Xi!" At this time, Jiang Xi's mother suddenly woke up.

"Mom, how are you, what's wrong?" Jiang Xi asked nervously.

Her mother shook her head weakly and said, "No, I feel much more comfortable, but I'm a little tired and don't have the energy." ”

I also noticed that Jiang Xi's mother's heartbeat didn't seem to be as intense as it had been at the beginning.

Jiang Xi's mother pulled Jiang Xi with one hand, and the other hand reached towards me, I quickly handed my hand up, and she grabbed me.

Tears slipped from the corners of her wrinkled eyes and she said, "I'm sorry I've troubled you!"

"Mom, what are you talking about, you are my mother, we should take care of you. Jiang Xi reacted violently.

I was afraid that Jiang Xi's mother would be upset, so I hurriedly said, "Mom, you are Jiang Xi's mother, that is, my mother, the old man will get sick when he is old, and it is right for children to be filial to the old man." ”

Jiang Xi's mother's tears flowed even more fiercely, she looked at me and said, "Good boy, I finally understand why Jiang Xi has to choose you, I don't regret marrying Jiang Xi to you, I want to really have a good one, you don't have to be too careful, Jiang Xi is pregnant, too sad will hurt the child, human life is predestined by God!" People, born in the dust, will return to the dust, everything is floating clouds, we are just passers-by in this world, everyone has to have the day to leave, I have lived so long, and it is enough, so you don't need to hurt your liver and lungs. ”

I don't know if human life can always understand life more deeply and thoroughly when it is weak, but Jiang Xi's mother's words made me and Jiang Xi tremble, as if she was explaining the aftermath.

I felt sad in my heart, and if I didn't say anything, Jiang Xi kept crying silently.

Jiang Xi's mother said, "If I want to say that I have any regrets, that is, I haven't seen my grandson or granddaughter? I don't know if it's a boy or a girl? Boys and girls are all good! I don't know what this little deflated calf looks like, like Jiang Xi or like Jiangdong?"

"Mom, you have a good rest, listen to the doctor, you will definitely be able to see my child born, you will definitely be able to hear her call you grandma!"

"Ahem! leave it to fate!" Jiang Xi's mother closed her eyes so tired after saying this.

This night, I rented a folding bed for Jiang Xi, and she lay on the folding bed, and I sat next to it, because there was only one folding bed in the ward, and a folding bed could only lie on one person.

We all prayed in our hearts, hoping that Jiang Xi's mother's illness would improve early tomorrow morning.

When Jiang Xi woke up late at night, worried that it would disturb the clinical patients and their families, she said to me in a very low voice, "You can't sit for a night, I'm not very sleepy now, you can go lie down and sleep for a while." ”

I was reluctant to let her sit there, I went to lie down and sleep, I said, "You sleep with yours, I'm in good health and it's okay to stand all night, you're pregnant, you're already weak, hurry up and go to sleep, if you don't sleep well, how to take care of your mother tomorrow, if your mother gets better tomorrow, I still have to go to work, tomorrow our project team has a very important meeting, if I can go, try not to ask for leave." ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Xi nodded, "You must not make a mistake in your work, then our family will be finished." ”

I took her hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as I don't change jobs, I'm still quite stable." ”

"Hmm!"

She suddenly leaned her head into my arms, choked up, and said, "Husband...... I don't know what else to say, do you regret marrying me? I originally thought that my mother would not have developed such an early illness, I thought that when she was older, even if she did, then we would have money, and we would not be afraid. ”

It turns out that she has always thought like this, so she would be so bold and courageous to choose to marry me, if her mother had become ill earlier, perhaps, my fate with Jiang Xi would really not exist.

I reached out and touched her hair, kissed the top of her hair and said, "Wife, before I met you, I didn't know what kind of experience warmth and happiness was, after I met you, I was soaked in warmth and happiness every day, you said, how could I regret it? You are so attractive, I can't even have time to fall in love with you, how can I have the energy to regret it? In this life, no matter what I go through, I am destined to be inseparable from you." ”

Jiang Xi cried, put his backhand around my waist, and whispered in my ear, "I am also infatuated with you, and I can't do without you!"

"Therefore, in the future, don't ask this kind of stupid words of regret or regret, who can predict what will happen in life? Soldiers will come to block, water will come to cover the earth, rich people have to bear the pain of rich people, if you really have a serious illness, money can't buy your life, in this world, how can anyone not suffer. ”

"Well, I won't say stupid things in the future! Husband, you're so nice!"

I touched her hair and said, "We are husband and wife, and we want to be husband and wife for the rest of our lives! Husbands and wives should love each other, share joys and sorrows, share weal and woe, share happiness and joy all their lives, right?"

"Yes, you're right!"

"Then you are obedient now, you don't sleep, the baby needs to sleep too, right?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Xi sniffed again, I helped her to the bed and asked her to go to sleep quickly, this time she closed her eyes very obediently, and said that she was not sleepy, and she fell asleep evenly in less than five minutes.

I sat next to Jiang Xi's mother's hospital bed, lying on his hospital bed and falling asleep, that is, the next morning, my arms and legs were very numb, and it took half a day to recover.

At more than six o'clock in the morning, Jiang Xi's mother was still sleeping, and a doctor came to check the ward.

"Doctor, how is my mother?"
