Chapter 2 Poor but Strong
Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular!
The younger siblings in the hall also quickly ran out, and the three of them hugged each other and cried.
The family is already poor, and the younger siblings have excellent academic performance, and they will definitely be admitted to college after high school, which costs money.
Now, my father was diagnosed with lung cancer when he broke his leg and went to the hospital, which is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the poor family.
Seeing his mother and younger siblings crying heartbroken, Qin Tian suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
Be strong, be strong!
His father was already sick in bed, relying on painkillers and sleeping pills to rest, Qin Tian knew that he was already the only pillar of the family, and he must not fall.
Good boy, stand up!
Qin Tian took a deep breath and silently put the inspection report into his trouser pocket.
"I've discussed with your mother many times, your dad's disease can't be cured, and we don't need to treat it, your dad doesn't have much left these days, good food and drink, worthy of filial piety, enough!"
Uncle said in a heavy tone.
Qin Tian looked at his mother, "Mom, do you want to give up too?"
"Son, it's not that I don't have a conscience, it's that there is no cure for this cancer, the doctors have said, even if it's chemotherapy, at most it's just to let your dad stay up for a few more days, and the poor have no other way to get this disease but to wait for death!"
Mother said, and she couldn't stop crying.
"Even if lung cancer can't be cured, it must be cured, he is my father, the only father!"
"But what about the money?"
"Hasn't the salary been settled? Although I have lost 20,000 yuan for the foreman's medical expenses, there are still 30,000 yuan left, which is enough to send my father to the hospital for a period of time, as for the future, I will think of a way!"
"But the money is going to be used for you to marry Xiaohui, you are not too young, it's time to get married!"
The uncle shook off the ashes of the cigarette and persuaded him bitterly: "Xiaotian, you have to think about this matter clearly, in case your father leaves, according to our rural customs, if you are the eldest son, you will not be able to get married during the three years of filial piety!"
"How about keeping filial piety for three years, what's the harm of being a bachelor for the rest of your life? Okay, don't persuade any of you, I'll go to Uncle Zhang to borrow a car now! Mom, hurry up and clean up!"
After that, Qin Tiantou went out to borrow a car without looking back.
"Brother Tian, what's going on?"
Sun Qiang had been waiting on the road outside the courtyard, and when he saw Qin Tian coming out, he immediately came up and asked.
Qin Tian was stunned, he didn't want his good brother to be worried, so he swallowed back when the words came to his lips, "It's not a big deal, I'll go to Uncle Zhang to borrow a pickup truck to take my dad into the city for a review, you go back early, save the family from worrying!"
With that, Qin Tian walked away.
"Brother Tian!"
"What's wrong?"
Sun Qiang scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently, "It's nothing, I just think that Zhu Xiaohui's woman is a little weird, you have to think carefully about this family business!"
What Sun Qiang wanted to say was that not long ago, he went to the countryside to collect pigs, and saw Zhu Xiaohui wearing heavy makeup and dressing up like a fox spirit in the car of the famous local tyrant Gao Peng in the town.
"My family is so poor, that woman can even look down on her, this is already weird, if it weren't for my parents in a hurry, I wouldn't even want to see each other, but now I can't take care of this stubble, let's go, I'll invite you to drink another day!"
Qin Tian waved his hand and trotted towards Uncle Zhang's house.
The real name of Uncle Zhang that Qin Tian is looking for is Zhang Zhida, who did the clothing business in his early years, so he can be regarded as one of the wealthy families in Huangshi Village.
A beautiful three-story small western-style building stood beside the fork in the road, Zhang Zhida's wife Du Min was counting the goods in the shop, when she heard the footsteps, she immediately poked her head out, and when she saw Qin Tian, who was coming, her face immediately changed, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Xiaotian, your mother borrowed gauze and iodine wine from me the day before yesterday, and she hasn't paid it back to this day, and your aunt took a bottle of soy sauce and a pack of salt from me this morning, did you just come to settle the bill after being released from the detention center?"
As soon as Du Min spoke, he greeted him with sour words.
Qin Tian subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, and suddenly remembered that his money was in his backpack, so he had to squeeze out a smile and said: "Auntie, what you owe you, I will definitely make up the account when I go back, I came to borrow your pickup to use it!"
"What?
Du Min's voice suddenly rose several tens of decibels, and his face became even more ugly.
Qin Tian nodded, "I want to take my dad to the city to see a doctor, I'm bothering you!"
Du Min pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "It's a coincidence, your Uncle Zhang drove the car into the city to buy goods, Auntie, I just want to lend it to you, but there is no way!"
"Excuse me, I'll send you the money later!"
Qin Tian bowed slightly and left gloomily.
"Hmph, poor boy! I'm obviously a poor sour migrant worker, and I don't know what my girl likes about you, do you really think that your childhood sweetheart can achieve positive results?
Du Min looked at Qin Tianyuan's back, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Mrs. Xu, Qin Tian from our village is back, you hurry up and come over to match him and Zhu Xiaohuibei, I've been looking forward to eating wine for a long time!"
Evening.
Qin Tian asked his brother to help borrow a car, and not long after he left with his family, Zhu Xiaohui and Mrs. Xu came to Qin's house in a Gaopeng car, but naturally they fell short.
Not long after the three of them left, they heard that Qin Tian had returned from the detention center, and Chang Liang, the younger brother of the contractor, brought his gang of mixed brothers to make trouble, and was ready to slaughter Qin Tian for a sum of money, but he didn't see anyone, so he set the Qin family's house on fire.
At night, the Qin family's old house burst into flames, illuminating the quiet mountain village......
