Chapter 152
Brother Jiu woke up early in the morning of the third day.
When he woke up, the Ten Elder Brothers were standing in front of the bed, and as soon as they saw him open his eyes, the Ten Elder Brothers began to cry.
Brother Jiu's injuries are still very serious, and he can't even speak.
The fleeing truck was caught that night, and the surveillance video showed that it was the ten-ton vehicle that suddenly crossed the lane without warning, causing a rear-end accident, which was not the fault of Brother Jiu, and the other party had to bear full responsibility.
As soon as they heard the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although part of the cost of the accident was paid by the insurance company, the Maserati was smashed into a compressed biscuit, and the truck driver himself had to pay a large amount of money. What's worse is that the driver who caused the accident is from a poor family, and there is basically no hope of compensation for this huge amount of money, so let alone compensate Brother Jiu for medical expenses. And Brother Jiu himself did not buy medical insurance.
Although the driving company signed a contract with the employee, but in this accident, the driving company will not pay for the medical expenses of Brother Jiu, but only symbolically give a part of the money, and the hospital's reminder list flies into Yinzhen's hands like snowflakes, if you take Yinxiang, living in the Forbidden City is not so expensive to live in the ICU, 10,000 yuan can't even stand up for two days, his father can't afford to live here, and the money given by the driving company is not enough for a week.
Yinzhen has to go to the hospital every day, except for running to the ward or going to the financial room, he is so busy that he can't touch the ground, he can't take a sip of water, and he doesn't notice that his lips are cracked and bleeding. His daily tone has become the source of discussing money with Yinxiang every day.
After living for thirty years, Yinzhen never realized that money was so unspent and slept at night. Even dreaming of borrowing money from his boss, because right now, he is really stretched thin.
In fact, at that time, Yinzhen had already advanced two months' salary, so he asked the department director for it, and the director knew his embarrassment, so he approved it without saying a word. But at that time, people also asked Yinzhen, saying why didn't they talk to the old man in the family? The younger brothers are still young, and it is too difficult for him to support the situation alone. Generally speaking, parents should always have some savings. Something happened to the child. They should be rescued, how can there be a reason not to even show their faces.
Yin Zhen couldn't answer this question, he could only smile bitterly.
On the way out of the company to the hospital, the more Yinzhen thought about it, the more depressed he became: Yes! How could Kangxi and Concubine Yi stand by at such a time? They should be in the first place! It would be better to mobilize the girls to donate en masse. It is clear that the donation is forced. Donate at least 1,000 per person!
Not really. Move all the gold and silver in the Internal Affairs Mansion, even if it hurts Kangxi to be a vegetarian from now on, Yin Zhen thinks. There's nothing wrong with that.
…… But their own father just watched three hundred years ago, let alone paying for it, and he couldn't even help with a finger.
In the hospital, the twelfth floor is the ward, the fifth floor is the financial room, every day, Yinzhen is running between the upper and lower seven floors, watching the money disappear from the account, but the younger brother is still lying on the hospital bed, not even having the strength to speak...... Even he couldn't determine whether Brother Jiu would be able to stand up in the future. Thinking about it like this, Yinzhen couldn't dare to think about it any further.
Sometimes, when he was too tired to go up and down, he would rest on the corridor bench on the seventh floor.
Sitting on the bench, Yinzhen looked around, and could always see the faces of family members like him, just like looking in a mirror: exactly the same tired, exactly the same sad face. This is not the most terrifying, occasionally Yinzhen can hear crying, from low sobbing to howling, all kinds of things.
The cry of a person can be so harsh, Yin Zhen thought, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, for fear that this fate would fall on his head sooner or later......
The torment was long and hopeless, as if there was an endless bottomless pit in front of us, which could not be filled.
Julia said that she would pay for the medical expenses, and she took out Wei Mingyue's savings and the wealth management and funds she bought. Yinzhen Yinxiang said that they would pay for the money.
Yinxiang sold his house that was still on loan, and Yinzhen also sold his Touareg. In addition to that, he sold one thing.
That was the piece of Patek Philippe that Andre left him in the zombie world.
That watch is Andrei's relic, Yinzhen has always kept it well, and he doesn't even wear it on weekdays. But right now, he's in dire need of money. After all, it was Patek Philippe, although it was very old and the surface was a little worn, but it actually sold for half a million. The buyer said that it was a pity that there was no "birth paper", otherwise the price could be a little higher.
When Julia found out, she blamed Yinzhen vigorously, saying that this was the only thing Andre left him, how could he sell this watch?
Yinzhen said that the watch is an object, and his younger brother is lying in the hospital, with a tube inserted all over his body, waiting for money to save his life, no matter how he says, the object is not as valuable as human life.
A month later, Brother Jiu's injury improved, he was able to speak, eat some liquid food, and sit up a little bit. The doctor said that thanks to his good health, most people have to wait for another half a year.
In addition, Yinzhen and they have to go to work as usual, and only the tenth elder brother accompanies the ninth elder brother in the hospital every day. He also refused to ask for nursing, everything was done by himself, and the tenth elder brother stopped the wrestling class and painting class, and took care of the ninth elder brother in the hospital day and night.
During this period, he told Brother Jiu all about what he had done: how the police dealt with it, how the driver who caused the accident was found, what was the ruling on the claim later, and how much money was given by the driving company.
When Brother Jiu heard that Yinxiang had sold the house and Yinzhen had also sold the car, his expression was unpredictable, but he didn't say anything.
The tenth elder brother lowered his head and peeled an apple for him, and whispered again: "The fourth brother also sold Andre's watch, that Patek Philippe." That thing was really valuable, the box was gone, the certificate was gone, and a watch alone sold for 500,000 yuan. Julia originally wanted to call and ask Wei Mingyue's parents to send money from abroad to come for help, but the fourth brother didn't allow her to call, saying, what is the matter with their Wei family? This is our brother's own business, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere. ”
After a long time, Brother Jiu finally said: "So, I spent a lot of money this time?" ”
When the tenth elder brother heard him say this, he immediately "snorted": "Ninth brother." Don't think about it! If something so big happens, can you just leave it alone? But you can rest assured, the current fund reserves are quite sufficient, the fourth brother said, the next step is to improve the nutritional standards, so that you can take care of your body. And what kind of professional rehabilitation did the doctor say, these things, our money is enough, Brother Jiu, you can rest assured! ”
The tenth elder brother said very calmly, and the ninth elder brother listened. But he couldn't be calm at all.
"What do I care?" He snorted. "My brother and brother sold cars, sold cars, and sold houses, so they did this for me, and they made a lot of trouble in the family...... If only I could lie down in peace. Is that still human? ”
Brother Ten was choked by what he said. Half a day. Only then did he whisper: "Brother Jiu, don't treat the fourth brother and them as outsiders......"
Brother Jiu stared at the green trees outside the window and didn't make a sound.
Brother Ten lowered his head. continued: "...... That night, you were operating inside, and the four of us were waiting outside, and the fourth brother said, "If you want to have a good one, we will have another one." ”
He put down the apple in his hand and looked at Brother Jiu: "Brother Jiu, we can't go back, although Liang Yuan is good, it is not his home after all." It's all outsiders here, only the five of us are from one place, we don't care about our brothers, who can we take care of? I know that Brother Jiu, you still remember the matter of the starling brother, and you always refuse to accept the favor of the fourth brother. But didn't you also give them favor? You're not just looking out for yourself. Tell me that this time the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother contributed money and efforts, and there was nothing wrong with it. As for you, accept it with peace of mind. ”
When Brother Jiu heard him say this, he only smiled bitterly: "You are like me?" ”
His words choked the tenth elder brother so much that he couldn't find words for a while. After a few minutes, he suddenly said, "There is one thing, I have been hiding it from you, Brother Jiu." Do you know, even the tuition fee for you to learn software was paid by the fourth brother. ”
Brother Jiu was stunned: "How can there be!" It's Julia! ”
"It's the fourth brother's money. I hear you. Brother Ten smiled helplessly, "That night, the fourth brother took out the enrollment brochure you threw away from the trash can, and said to Julia, Brother Jiu, you want to learn computer science." The fourth brother also told Julia that the money, he came out, and he would take the salary he earned as a customer service on Taobao. But he told Julia not to be in front of you, and he said that if you knew it was his idea, you wouldn't. So I'll just tell you that it's the admissions brochure that Julia herself saw. Julia said at the time that why should she be so clear, and she was not without money, so the fourth brother said, your money is yours, and we will solve our brother's affairs ourselves. I happened to hear them while they were discussing this in the kitchen. ”
Brother Jiu was speechless for a while.
When Brother Ten saw him like this, he also regretted that he had too much to say, so he said: "I don't plan to become the Fourth Master Party, Brother Jiu, don't worry, no matter what happens, Brother Jiu and I are all of one mind." ”
The ninth elder brother sighed slightly, he reached out and touched the tenth elder brother's brain: "Fool, how can there be any fourth master party and eight master party now?" It's the same for everyone. ”
When Brother Ten heard him say this, he was relieved.
Later, when Julia came to the hospital to see Brother Jiu, he asked about the Patek Philippe that Yinzhen sold.
Julia didn't expect that Brother Ten's mouth would reach Brother Nine's ears so quickly, she was embarrassed for a moment before she said, "I also persuaded him, telling him not to sell that watch, Wei Mingyue's aunt still has some money......
Brother Jiu understood that all the money that the family could take out had been handed over to the hospital, and if it was not enough, Julia would have to sell the house.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he said, "Julia, can that watch be redeemed?" ”
"Well, I really don't know." Julia hesitated, "Your fourth brother didn't tell me, and I don't know where he sold the watch." ”
Brother Jiu said: "Julia, you do me a favor, be sure to find out the whereabouts of the watch, in two days, I will give you money, and I will definitely redeem the Patek Philippe." ”
Julia was stunned: "Where did you get the money?" ”
"I still have some savings." Brother Jiu said, "If it's not enough, I can ask Honglong to make an IOU first." ”
Julia smiled bitterly, "What are you brothers doing here?" The watch has already been sold, so why redeem it again? The ninth master's savings will be kept first, and in the future, there will be a place to spend money. ”
The ninth elder brother looked anxious, and quickly interrupted her: "That watch is Andrei's relic!" How can you just sell it? Anyway, you go and inquire first, and if you can redeem it, quickly redeem it! ”
Seeing him like this, Julia understood what he meant, and she sighed faintly: "Ninth Master, why are you doing this?" I know that you are unwilling to accept the kindness of your fourth brother and do not want to bear his favor. But at a time like this, isn't it too wrong to care about these again? ”
Brother Jiu heard that Julia's words meant to blame him, and he didn't defend himself, but only said that when he had an accident this time, his family overturned on his back, and his car and house were sold.
Julia was silent for a long time, but suddenly said, "Your fourth brother paid for it, that is, right now." To tell you the truth, I won't hide it from the ninth master, in a few years, he and I are planning to go abroad. ”
Brother Nine was shocked!
"You're planning to emigrate?!"
Julia smiled, "Not necessarily. But in two years, I may go abroad to study, Wei Mingyue's parents have said it several times. Your fourth brother also agreed to accompany me over, so it seems that it is impossible for you to return to Daqing, and he will not be worthy of Yongzheng. In the future, across the ocean, what else can he do to you? ”
Although he knew that Julia's words were meant to persuade himself to let go of the knot in history and stop resenting Yinzhen, but when Brother Jiu heard it in his heart, he was disappointed for a while......
In other words, in a few years, several of them will not even see each other.
But on the surface, Brother Jiu didn't show it, he only nodded: "I understand." ”
After Julia left, Brother Jiu leaned on the hospital bed alone, looking at the green banyan tree outside the window, and his heart fluctuated.
He never thought that one day, the fourth elder brother would disappear from his life. Yinzhen emigrated abroad, and most of Yinxiang would follow, and it was impossible for the thirteenth elder brother to be separated from the fourth elder brother.
At that time, only himself and Brother Ten will be left here.
And Brother Ten gradually has a new life circle, his time is filled with painting and wrestling, and in the future, it is impossible to be by his side all the time.
In this way, whether it is what he hates or what he protects, he will be far away step by step, and in the end, he will be left alone.
Brother Jiu shrank down with difficulty and lay back on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the snow-white ceiling.
So, why do you hate Yinzhen and Yinxiang so much, why do you unswervingly regard them as potential enemies?
Maybe it's just to avoid this unbearable loneliness!
Thinking of this, Brother Jiu suddenly felt his heart collapse, as if a big hole had been exposed!
He had never felt so weak and powerless, he really wanted to find the eighth elder brother, stuff all this to the eighth elder brother, and let him make the decision for himself.
It turns out that what is more difficult to do than the enemy is that you can't even do the enemy, and you are completely "forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes".
Am I getting something wrong? He struggled, and suddenly thought.
Later, Yinzhen came to the hospital to see Brother Jiu, and he felt that Brother Jiu's spirit was not very good, and his expression was sad. I asked him if he was still in pain.
Brother Jiu shook his head: "No." Fourth brother, I'm fine. ”
Yin Zhen looked at him for a while before saying, "Brother, don't blame me for being verbose, let's quit smoking and drinking in the future." ”
Brother Nine said in a dumb voice: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will." ”
Not long after, Brother Jiu quit smoking and drinking. (To be continued.) )
