"So how do you know he's not cancer?" Huang Lili asked. `

Aunt Tian said: "What a coincidence, my husband's life should not be extinguished." There was a fortune-telling master who happened to come to the fortune-telling street to tell fortunes, and I half-convinced him to do the trick, but the master was really right. The doctor opened his stomach according to his statement and saw that it was not cancer, but bleeding duodenal ulcer. So I had surgery right away and I was able to be discharged in a few days. - By the way, why don't I take you to meet this master, his surname is Xiao, he lives in the alley downstairs of me, and he has opened a storefront, called Universal Company, maybe he can give you some guidance to cure your old Guo's illness. ”

Huang Lili shook her head gloomily: "How can I have such a good life as you, our family's old Guo's illness was seen by an expert this time, and there will be no mistakes or misdiagnosis." It's just that the cost of treatment is too high. I came to you to borrow a little money from you, but I heard you say that your family is also in trouble, and you also owe a lot of debt in order to treat Lao Zhuo, so forget it, I'll find a way. ”

Huang Li stood up to leave, but Aunt Tian hurriedly pulled her back and said: "Don't worry, our old Zhuo's illness is almost cured, and we will slowly get on the right track in the future, although I owe a lot of debt, but we are two good sisters, knowing that your old Guo is waiting for money to save his life, no matter how difficult it is, I have to help you." ”

Aunt Tian bent down and took out an iron box from under the bed and put it on the bed, saying, "I have the business income of the past few days, you take the emergency first, and then we will find a way together." ”

Huang Lili didn't shirk, wiped her tears and thanked her, and after the two counted the money in the iron box, Huang Lili said, "I'll give you an IOU!" ”

"Hit you big head!" Aunt Tian glanced at him angrily, "We are good sisters, and we still say those foreign words, I will find a way for you, you can't watch Lao Guo die like this." He's a good guy, I remember he played chess very well, but he always liked to regret chess, hehehe. ”

Aunt Tian deliberately said some interesting things from the past, wanting to relax the atmosphere, Huang Lili smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, he is a stinky chess basket, and he is famous in the factory." ”

"By the way, how is the factory doing? We didn't know anything for the two years we left. ”

"The products of the factory can't be sold, it's like a hill, it's been stopped a long time ago, and the wages can't afford it, so the things are worth the wages, and the sacks are carried home and sold by themselves. In the past two years, in addition to taking care of Lao Guo's medical treatment, I have set up a stall to sell shoes and clothes to make a little money. Seeing you make a big business and making money, I really don't have the face to see you, so I haven't contacted you. I'm really sorry to come looking for you when I have something to ask you for. ”

"Oh, look at what you say. When your old Guo disease is cured, it really can't be done, you come to my store to help me, and I will give you 200 yuan a month, including food and accommodation, how about it? ”

Huang Lili smiled reluctantly, shook her head and said: "Our old Guo wants to save face and suffer, I used to mention that you used to work for those workers who did business, Lao Guo said that they used to be workers, and now they are working for others, people want to face trees and bark, no matter how much money there is, this face still needs to be wanted, so I am not allowed to go." ”

Aunt Tian was a little embarrassed and said, "Since this is the case, then I won't force it." However, our batch of laid-off workers really didn't make much money doing business. ”

"yes, you are the best mixed among our laid-off workers. 8 novels'"

"What a fart, all the money I made in the past two years has been smashed into the hospital, and every time I think about it, I hate it so much. If it weren't for Master Xiao's guidance, not only would I have run out of money, but even my husband would have been gone. By the way, you might as well come with me to meet him, maybe you can help! ”

"No need, to tell you the truth, it's our old Guo who won't let you. He hates fortune tellers the most. If he knew that I had hired a fortune teller to treat him, he would have gone mad, and he hated this feudal superstition the most. ”

Aunt Tian was originally going to try her best to promote this matter, but when she heard Huang Lili directly characterize fortune-telling as feudal superstition, she couldn't help but be speechless, and she was in no mood to mention it again.

The two chatted for a while, Huang Liling was anxious to raise money to pay her husband's hospitalization and treatment fees, Aunt Tian saw that she didn't want to stay, so she accompanied her downstairs and sent her to the alley before waving goodbye.

Huang Lili was going to call a few former workers to raise money, she also saw that there was a public phone at the door of Aunt Tian's snack bar, but she didn't call there, because of face reasons, she didn't want her to let her look of begging the other party fall into the eyes of her former sisters in the same workshop, she still retains her last bit of dignity, although this dignity has almost been worn out in the past few years when her husband was sick.

She walked all the way to the bus stop, found a roadside public phone booth nearby, and then went in and started dialing.

The experience of the next few phone calls made Huang Lili feel the coldness of the world again. -- To be polite, he said that his son was going to get married, and that the other party wanted a large dowry, and that all the money was used for the dowry, and so on. You're welcome, I heard her open her mouth to borrow money, and directly refused that there was no money. What's more, he hung up the phone when he said he had something.

After this phone call, the money was not borrowed, but more than a dollar was pasted into the phone bill.

When he finished the last call, he hung up the microphone and leaned limply against the phone booth. Today, when I borrowed money, I only had a bunch of zero bills borrowed from Aunt Tian in my pocket, but the hospital bill still owed thousands of medical expenses and hospitalization fees that had not been paid, not to mention the debts owed by borrowing from east to west in the past few years.

After staying for a while, she left the phone booth dejectedly and returned to the nephrology department of the Second Provincial Hospital, where her husband was hospitalized.

As soon as she came to the corridor, a middle-aged nurse stopped her with a straight face: "Is your husband's hospitalization fee enough?" I didn't have enough to get out of the hospital. This is non-negotiable! ”

Although her husband is a factory worker, the factory is on the verge of closure and has already stopped production, and he can't even afford the wages of the workers, so where can he have the money to pay him medical bills! One qiē can only rely on himself.

When she was admitted to the nephrology department of the Second Provincial Hospital, she begged her grandfather to tell her grandmother that she had finally scraped together enough minimum hospitalization fees to reluctantly move in, and she had no money to pay the remaining hospitalization fees, so she kept dragging on. Every time the doctors and nurses in the hospital asked her to pay the hospitalization and medical bills, she could only delay it with bitter begging and pleading, and it was delayed until the first day.

On the first day, Director Qiu of the Nephrology Department came to her husband's ward with a large group of doctors and nurses, and clearly told her that she would be given another day, and if she could not raise the hospitalization and medical expenses the next day, she could only stop taking the medicine, and asked the security guard to send them out of the hospital, saying that this was decided by the hospital at an official meeting, and that not only her family, so all the patients in arrears would be treated in this way, without discrimination.

So on this day, Huang Lili was running around, borrowing the people who might be able to borrow money in the end one by one, and even her best sister Aunt Tian, who was the most embarrassed to meet, finally came to the door with a cheeky face and borrowed a lot of zero tickets, but these money were a drop in the bucket for her almost astronomical hospitalization and medical expenses.

After hearing the nurse say this, Huang Lili almost wanted to kneel on the ground and beg, but she knew that what the nurse said didn't count, and she could only ask the director of the nephrology department.

She went to the nephrology office and saw several doctors busy in the office. Director Qiu was talking to a doctor about something, his tone was very stern, and when he saw her come in, he immediately said with a straight face: "Have you made up enough for the hospitalization?" If you don't make enough, you will stop taking the medicine and leave. I've already said it, it's not negotiable! ”

Huang Lili's face was miserable, and she was about to kneel on the ground with her knees propped up, but Director Qiu hurriedly got out of the way and said, "It's useless to kneel!" The hospital is not opened by me, the hospital belongs to the state, what you owe is the money of the state, you don't say kneel and beg me, it is useless for you to kneel and beg the president. It is natural to repay debts, we have considered the cheapest ward for you to treat your illness, use the cheapest medicine, and help you save as much as possible, but hospitalization costs money, and you can't pay for treatment, and you want the state to help you out, how can this be reasonable? ”

"It's not that I don't pay for it, I can't raise it for a while, my husband has been sick for many years, and the money has been spent well and I owe a lot of debts, I have been borrowing money outside all day today, and I have borrowed so much in total."

Huang Lili took out a large pile of change tickets from her pocket and put them on the table.

Director Qiu glanced at it: "How much is this?" The hospitalization and medical fees you owe are already tens of thousands. - I can't help you, I can't raise money so I can only stop taking medicine and leave! ”
