Chapter 20 Don't cry, it hurts me
My uncle didn't come on time, but I knew he wouldn't be vague about playing a scoundrel.
I silently prayed in my heart that he had drunk again last night, so that he would probably sleep all morning, and by then my grandmother's surgery was done and the cost had been deducted, and I would have reason to say that there was no extra money.
But God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and at half past nine, my uncle-in-law still came.
I was so frightened that I quickly locked the door of the hospital room and pressed against it with my back. In any case, I have to let my grandmother have surgery today, and I have already given my body and heart for this day, and I must not let my uncle-in-law take the money.
In the past, I didn't dare to resist at all, otherwise I wouldn't have let my uncle-in-law take so much money from my grandmother for nothing, but now it is a life-and-death moment for my grandmother, and I suddenly have courage.
Zhao Yaru's aunt at home was trembling with fright when she saw me, and hurriedly ran over to ask me what was wrong.
Before I could say anything, my brother-in-law came to the door.
He couldn't open the door and began to slap hard: "Why is it locked?
He saw me through the transparent glass on the door, and immediately slapped the door even harder: "Shen Xi, open the door for Lao Tzu! Don't think about surgery without taking money! The dead old woman has already stepped into the coffin with one foot, what kind of surgery is she doing? Isn't this a waste of money?"
I heard my aunt say that her husband borrowed a lot of money from others during the period when he was hiding from debts, but he couldn't afford to pay it back at all, and now he is so depressed that he has no money, and even eating has become a problem. He is now determined to blackmail the money, and I am so panicked that my whole body is trembling, and my mind is empty and I don't know what to do.
When my grandmother saw this, she opened her mouth and cried.
My heart twitched as I listened, and tears fell down like beads of broken thread.
The patients in the same ward began to complain, listening to the tone, apparently enduring it for a long time. After all, the aunt and uncle kept coming to make trouble, and they slowly figured out that it was the grandmother who gave birth to an unfilial daughter, and they would have endured it because of sympathy before, but now that it is like this, they only feel annoyed, and they no longer have the heart to sympathize.
Soon a nurse came to see the situation, and the uncle-in-law was now red-eyed and quarreled with the nurse when he opened his mouth.
Aunt Tian Hua saw that I had been shaking violently, so she hurriedly helped me go inside, and secretly comforted me in her ear: "Xixi, don't worry, your body is important." If he continues to make trouble, there will definitely be security guards who will come up and drag him away, and Mom's operation will definitely be done. ”
I hurriedly grabbed her hand and verified: "Really?"
Aunt Tian Hua patted me distressedly: "Really, it's not the first time he's come to make trouble." ”
But it's almost ten o'clock, and if we continue to toss like this, won't we delay the operation? Will the doctor cancel my grandmother's surgery then?
I sniffed and was just about to comfort my grandmother, when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Where's the security guard?"
I slammed into a shock, and rushed to the door in disbelief, who was the tall man in the crowd, not Mr. Zhuang?
He glanced at me through the glass on the door and nodded faintly.
My heart suddenly settled down, and all the panic seemed to be frozen, and it sank very thoroughly.
A nurse pushed the bed over and tried to take my grandmother into the operating room, but was blocked by her uncle.
Mr. Zhuang saw that I wanted to open the door, and quickly shook his head.
He said a few words to the nurse who pushed the bed, and asked her to wait next to her for a while, and the security guard quickly rushed over and forcibly dragged her uncle-in-law away.
As soon as his voice fell, his uncle-in-law immediately quieted down, and turned around and spat at him: "Lao Tzu has something to do with you!"
My hands shook, and I quickly opened the door and rushed out.
My uncle-in-law really vomited on him just now, and I was so panicked that I wanted to wipe him clean with my hands, but Mr. Zhuang stopped me: "Arrange for your grandmother to have surgery first." ”
My uncle-in-law looked back and saw that I was so close to Mr. Zhuang, so he suddenly stopped making trouble and quietly followed the security guard into the elevator.
My grandmother entered the operating room as scheduled, and I secretly exhaled a big breath, and my heart that was hanging in the air finally fell back steadily.
While waiting outside the operating room, Mr. Zhuang asked me if I had breakfast, and my aunt immediately came over to please: "I only drank some soy milk, and I refused to eat more than I persuaded her." ”
Mr. Zhuang looked at her expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Auntie should prepare more food to bring, what if she is hungry now?"
The aunt's face stiffened, and she suddenly stood up: "I'll buy it now, or buy ready-made fresh." ”
Aunt Tian Hua has been watching from a distance, and her eyes can't stop looking at Mr. Zhuang. She had obviously guessed Mr. Zhuang's identity, but she couldn't say anything, so she kept secretly looking at us.
There were a lot of people in the waiting room, and it was noisy, so Mr. Zhuang motioned for me to go to the corridor with him.
He stopped at the window, pinched the bridge of his nose and asked tiredly, "Who was that person just now?"
My body shook slightly, and I bit my lip in embarrassment. His fists clenched and released, and his palms were sweaty. To be honest, I don't want to answer this question, I never mention my family affairs to others, and my aunt and uncle weigh me down.
"I just asked casually, I didn't want to say it didn't matter. Are you okay? Is there anything wrong with you?"
His concern was always about my stomach, and this harsh reality hit me again. My heart was stuffy, I was a little out of breath, and it took a few seconds before I shook my head in discomfort: "I'm fine." Did Mr. Zhuang come here overnight?"
He didn't know why, and sighed lightly: "Well, let Yaru come with her and she didn't agree, I don't worry, I'd better rush over to take a look." ”
I see, my breath was slightly choked, and my nose was sore again.
I knew that Mr. Zhuang hated me crying, so he didn't dare to shed tears at all. But because I didn't dare to look up at him, I couldn't help but fall after the tears were more and more full.
A large hand pinched my chin at this moment, and I was forced to make eye contact with Mr. Zhuang.
His brows tightened, and his tone couldn't help but soften: "What's wrong?"
He wiped the corners of my eyes with his fingertips, and when I bit my mouth without saying a word, his fingers slid to my mouth again, gently releasing my lower lip from under my teeth.
I was afraid that I would cry out loud when I opened my mouth, so I couldn't help but bite my lower lip again.
Mr. Zhuang sighed again, and suddenly hugged me in his arms: "Xixi, don't cry, I feel distressed." ”
Distressed, not upset?
The tears that were about to overflow came to an abrupt end, and I looked up at him in surprise, but my mouth inadvertently brushed his chin. I panicked and tilted my head, but my mouth slid all the way to his cheek.
"Xixi~" The two hands around my back tightened, and there was suddenly a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
