Twenty-three, the Jiang family's dilemma
The bait has been dropped, and I am sure that the fish will be hooked.
Xie Bishou has this self-confidence, because he has done an investigation, and the Jiang family is an outsider, and there is no foundation at all in Huai'an Mansion. Usually, the couple teaches and opens a shop for their son to study, so it is naturally a well-off family with no worries about food and clothing. But if you have to rely on one person to teach, feed a sick person, and support a student, you will definitely be struggling to make ends meet!
It is true that he Chen Fangyi is from the local Chen family, and his family is quite wealthy, but a foreign family is a foreign family after all. The old man may be able to come out with 350,000 yuan to express his heart, or he can take out 108,000 yuan to come out to the rivers and lakes to help the emergency, but if he really wants to take out 200,000 or 300,000 yuan to fill the hole of the Jiang family, even if they are willing, Chen Fangyi's two brothers will object: What they take out is all real money! Let's not talk about whether the Jiang family will pay it back, even if it does, counting on a teacher, when will it be able to pay it back?
People's hearts are as cold as iron, and the world is as thin as paper!
Jiang Youzhi is a teacher, so he shouldn't have the ability to make a lot of money, and even if he does, it is estimated that he will not be able to wipe his face. Jiang Shuiyuan is a student, under the age of 14, and no one wants to go out to do odd jobs, for fear that the patrol police station will say that child labor is employed. At this time, he put a bright avenue in front of them, what choice do you think the Jiang family will make? So Xie Bishou left satisfied.
He left, but Jiang Shuiyuan was restless, his mind full of the problems he had just mentioned. Xie Bishou's words may have alarmist elements, but they should generally not be bad, such as the cost of the ICU, the medical level of Huai'an Prefecture, and the prognosis of long-term coma. Of course, all of this comes down to money. ――Will the family have enough money to sustain me until my mother recovers and is discharged from the hospital?
This question was held back until my father came back from school in the evening, and Jiang Shuiyuan asked cautiously at the dinner table: "Dad, how much money do we have now?"
Jiang Youzhi frowned and said, "The hospital is asking for money again? Didn't you just pay it yesterday?"
"No, the hospital didn't ask for payment. Jiang Shuiyuan quickly clarified, "I just heard from the nurse that it costs at least 10,000 yuan a day to live in the ICU ward, and I am afraid that the family will have no money, so I asked." ”
Jiang Youzhi smiled reluctantly: "Listen to their nonsense! How can it be so expensive? Your grandfather has entrusted some connections, and it only costs more than 5,000 a day." We have more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in savings, and the things in your mother's store can be worth more than 100,000 yuan when they are transferred and sold. There are three or four hundred thousand before and after, how can it be enough, what are you worried about?"
Jiang Youzhi's words actually set up an ambush. For example, he said that the things in Chen Fangyi's store are worth more than 100,000 yuan, but in fact, the store is full of women's clothes and supplies, which are not worth much. Now I desperately want to change hands, and I can't sell it for much money. If you settle the balance of the goods, you can get 350,000 yuan to burn high incense!
It's not good to sell it, because many of them are new clothes in the season, and once the season is over, basically no one cares about it, so they can only be smashed in their hands. You can't let Jiang Youzhi, a big man, sell these things, right? Even if he can spare time, he can wipe his face, and customers still have psychological obstacles when they buy things!
Jiang Shuiyuan asked again: "Then Dad, have you ever thought about transferring my mother to Jiangning or other places? After all, the level of medical care in big places is higher, and my mother recovers faster!"
Jiang Youzhi was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "Of course I thought about it, but in the end I decided to stay here! Second, if you go to other places, the cost of hospitalization is even more expensive, not to mention who will stay by your side to take care of your mother? I am going to take the graduating class now, and you can't even take care of yourself, and your grandmother and grandfather are old, so it's naturally okay to hire a nurse, but you can't have no relatives around you, right?
"And stay here, the bed or anything naturally don't have to worry about, the attending doctor Mi Rushan is a doctor of Peking Medical University, and enjoys a high reputation in the medical community in the province, which is not much worse than those so-called famous doctors, and the cost is not expensive. I, your grandmother, grandfather, and you, and even your uncle and aunt, can usually take care of it. Why bother to go far?"
Jiang Shuiyuan hesitated for a long time, but still repeated what Xie Bishou said to himself this morning, and then asked tentatively: "Dad, why don't I sign a ten-year agreement with their company?" Anyway, it's just singing, dancing or something, and it won't take much time." I'm a man again, so there's nothing to worry about. ”
"No! Absolutely not!" Jiang Youzhi refused with a gloomy face, his tone was so resolute that there was no room for maneuver, "It naturally doesn't matter if you usually sing and sing in school, but it is absolutely not okay to join the entertainment industry! The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, you think that you can be alone if you are a man? Joke! If you sign an agreement with that entertainment company, don't blame me for severing the father-son relationship with you! Our Jiang family can't afford to lose this person!"
Jiang Shuiyuan didn't expect his father to refuse so much, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Jiang You reprimanded with a straight face: "Don't run around tomorrow, give me school honestly!"
"Tomorrow is Saturday, no classes......"
Jiang Youzhi's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he reprimanded: "Then read a good book at home! I haven't seen you turn a page of a textbook or do an exercise for so many days, and you will have a final exam soon, if you fall out of the top three in the grade, see how your mother will scold you when she wakes up!"
Jiang Shuiyuan muttered: "If my mother can scold me, I can be the first to the bottom of the grade." ”
Jiang You glared at him and didn't speak. After eating a few more bites of rice, he put down his chopsticks: "I've eaten well, you eat slowly." After eating and washing the dishes, read a book at home, and don't run around! I'll go to the hospital to see your mother, and I won't be back tonight. ”
"Eat more, Dad! You're going to keep a night watch!" Jiang You said that he had eaten well, but in fact, there was still half a bowl of rice left, and there were not a few chopsticks in the dish. In the past few days, his food has been like this, which makes Jiang Shuiyuan worried about his mother's condition at the same time, he is also worried about his father's body: if his mother doesn't wake up and his father's body collapses first, what can this family do?
"I'm not hungry, you can eat!" Jiang Youzhi really has no appetite. Turn around and pack your clothes and the exam papers to be corrected and get ready to go out.
Seeing that his father was going out, Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly thought of a question: "Dad, it just so happens that I'll be fine tomorrow, why don't you give me the key to my mother's shop, and I'll go and see it tomorrow?"
Jiang You was stunned, and said for a long time: "It's okay!"
