Chapter 74: Eldest Sister Ma Ruo
When he returned to Shanxian, a familiar feeling immediately came to his heart, Ma Han couldn't help but sigh, and took a taxi directly to the First Hospital of Shanxian.
I called my sister and finally saw my mother lying in a coma bed in a hospital room, and tears flashed in Ma Han's eyes.
After years of hard work, my mother's hair has turned white for the most part, because of the whole day of work, the waist has been a little bent, can not straighten up, on weekdays a spirit hanging, but also looks very energetic, at the moment lying on the hospital bed, looking very old.
In front of the hospital bed, the younger sister Ma Qian, the eldest sister Ma Ruo, and a man of twenty-six or seventeen, is his brother-in-law Jiang Haitao, in addition to these people, there is also a girl in her twenties, Ma Han doesn't know him.
"Brother, are you back?" Seeing Ma Han, Ma Qian suddenly seemed to have a backbone.
Ma Han didn't care about the others, hurriedly stepped forward, leaned in front of the bed, held his mother He Xiangqin's hand, and suddenly found that his mother's hands were so thin, but it was these hands that raised his three brothers and sisters, and also gave Ma Han enough time, so that Ma Han could get adventures to support this family.
"Who of you is the patient's family? The results of the examination have come in. "A doctor walked in.
Ma Han was immersed in self-blame, a little distracted, Ma Ruo is eldest sister, so she stood up: "I am, what is the result?"
"Let's go out and talk, there are other patients here, don't bother others. The doctor said.
Ma Ruo followed the doctor out, Jiang Haitao also hurriedly followed, and the twenty-year-old girl rolled her eyes and walked out.
"The results of the patient have come out, there are lumbar muscle strain, neurasthenia, bone hyperplasia, etc., but these are all caused by long-term labor, coupled with lack of sleep, take a good rest, eat more nutrients, ensure sleep, moderate activity, and almost recover. The doctor groaned and said, "The most serious thing at the moment is that the patient has a brain tumor in his brain, which has compressed the nerves and must be operated on immediately." ”
"Is the brain tumor, benign or malignant?" Ma Ruo was startled and hurriedly asked.
"At this point, it looks benign, but it's not small, so it needs immediate surgery. The doctor said solemnly.
"Then hurry up and prepare, let's do the surgery. Ma Ruo said without hesitation.
The doctor nodded: "It just so happens that there are fewer people doing surgery now, you don't have to queue up, but you have to pay the fee first, I estimate that you need to pay about 130,000 yuan first, and then about 100,000 yuan in the follow-up, of course, this is not counting follow-up medical treatment such as convalescent chemotherapy, but only the cost of surgery and surgical recovery." ”
Ma Ruo was blindsided all of a sudden, just now he just thought about hurrying up the operation, but he didn't expect to need so much money, so he couldn't help but look at Jiang Haitao.
Jiang Haitao was silent, his face was a little bitter, he silently took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and suddenly remembered that this was a hospital, so he hurriedly put it back.
Ma Ruoyi gritted his teeth and said to the doctor: "Let's prepare and pay the bill immediately." ”
The doctor nodded: "Okay, you hurry up and raise money, although it doesn't matter if this disease is delayed for three or five days, but after all, the sooner the better." ”
Watching the doctor leave, Ma Ruo's always weak face showed a look of determination, and said to Jiang Haitao: "Haitao, our family still has a deposit of 50,000 yuan, you go and borrow a little more, make up the 130,000 yuan first, if it is really not enough, let's mortgage the house first and make a loan......"
Before the words were finished, the twenty-year-old girl had already hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, the 50,000 yuan is for the second brother to get married, the second brother is already engaged, if the money is gone at this time, what should the second brother do?"
This girl is Jiang Haitao's sister Jiang Xiaoli, although the relationship with Ma Ruo is not bad, Ma Ruo has always looked at Jiang Xiaoli unpleasantly.
"Xiaoli, do you say that marriage is important, or is human life important?" Ma Ruo asked with a cold face.
"Of course, human life matters. Jiang Xiaoli smiled: "But you can't say that, human life is important, but isn't there your brother and sister? It's not just you, sister-in-law, if you don't take the money, your aunt's illness will not be cured? If so, I have nothing to say." ”
Ma Ruo was depressed for a while, and took a deep breath: "What is the situation in my family, you also know, do you want to count on my younger brother who is in college and my younger sister who is in high school?"
Jiang Xiaoli sighed: "Sister-in-law, I know all this, but our family is not rich, the second brother is married, but it depends on your 50,000, and Dad also saved 50,000, adding up to only 100,000, which is not enough for the other party's bride price?
Ma Ruo's heart was depressed, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked Jiang Haitao with a calm face: "Say, what are your plans?"
This sentence immediately forced Jiang Haitao to have no way out, Jiang Haitao gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh: "It's important to save your life, let's find a way to pay the surgery fee first, and as for the second brother, let's find a way." ”
Jiang Haitao's words made Ma Ruo's mood feel a lot more comfortable, and most of the depression in his heart dissipated, no matter what the family said to him, as long as Haitao was on his side, Ma Ruo would not be afraid of anything.
Jiang Xiaoli was anxious, and said sharply: "Big brother, you are too ungrateful, your parents have given you all their savings to marry a daughter-in-law, and now let you help the second brother start a family, do you want to ignore it? If the second brother can't marry a daughter-in-law, don't think about it for the rest of your life." ”
Jiang Haitao was relatively honest, he couldn't speak all of a sudden, his face was a little ashamed, and he could only bow his head and not say a word.
The fire in Ma Ruo's heart came up all of a sudden, Jiang Xiaoli's obvious finger was scolding Huai, Ma Ruo finally couldn't help it, pointed at Jiang Xiaoli and said: "Who is ungrateful? Last time my brother was going to college, I thought about paying him tuition first, you said, the second brother is important to get married, you can work in college, and you can not pay the tuition first, but this marriage cannot be delayed, but Ma Han went to college, and I, as a sister, didn't pay a penny. ”
Ma Ruo had been holding back a breath in his heart, and he couldn't hold back anymore at the moment, and said directly: "Don't talk about this, it's already over, at this moment, my mother is hospitalized, what do you still tell me about the importance of getting married? Your second brother is idle, he doesn't have so much money in his hand, he has to pack some big cloves of garlic, whether it's eating, drinking, or taking wedding photos at the engagement banquet, it's the best, but it's been half a year, the marriage hasn't ended, and a lot of money is spent, and every time we have to pay, these things, can I say half a sentence?"
Back then, Ma Ruo and Jiang Haitao were in free love, Jiang Haitao fell in love with Ma Ruoren, who was beautiful and had an excellent personality, and Ma Ruo also took a fancy to Jiang Haitao who was honest and capable, willing to endure hardships and capable, so the two fell in love.
But Jiang Haitao's family is not satisfied, Ma Ruo's family is extremely poor, there is no place for the Jiang family to borrow, even if they get married, the Ma family does not contribute a penny, Jiang Haitao's parents feel that Ma Ruo has climbed their own children, so from the heart, they have an advantage, at home, they always feel that they are higher than Ma Ruoyi.
The last time Ma Han went to college, Ma Ruo originally wanted to contribute some money, after all, she and Jiang Haitao have been married for a year, although they need to repay the mortgage and so on, but they still have some savings, although they are not much, but they are enough for Ma Han to go to college.
