The blind woman was admitted to the hospital emergency room. The doctor's initial diagnosis is myocardial infarction, which may be caused by eating too much at once, causing coronary reflex spasm, and failing to take timely measures, which eventually leads to a sudden myocardial infarction.

The son sat on a bench outside the emergency room and buried his face in his hands. He had just had a big fight with his sister over payment.

When he paid the money, he wanted to be half of his sister's family. My sister was not happy, saying that you are a son, your mother has been with you, and you have to pay for the doctor. Didn't we say that we would agree with half of the family before he came? My sister said that it would have to wait for my mother to be discharged from the hospital, and after the insurance reimbursement was all removed, how much money would be shared between the two families. Besides, what are you afraid of, my mother's house is still there, and there are cats at home, so it's a big deal that the money you get from killing cats will be deducted from my share.

After arguing for a long time, the people in the hospital couldn't stand it anymore, so they came to persuade them. The sister and brother also felt quite faceless, so the elder sister used the excuse of picking up the child and going back first.

He waited on a bench outside the emergency room.

The old lady was usually fine, and he didn't think there was anything. Whether it is to eat and drink red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, or to go to the old lady from time to time to rub some gas money, he takes it for granted. Gnaw old man, it's not all like this now!

But the old lady really fell, and he suddenly panicked. It's like when I was a child, I took my mother's hand to go shopping, and when I walked, I found that my hand was released at some point, my mother was gone, and the street was full of strangers. He stood in the middle of the street, dazed and bewildered, and opened his mouth to cry.

In the middle of the night, the nurse came out with a slip: "Your mother's condition is very unstable and she needs to go to the ICU ward for observation, you should go and pay the money first." ”

He took the list and looked at it a few times: "How much, how much?" ”

The nurse said: "It's about 5,000 a day, it depends on her condition and the doctor's administration, 10,000 a day is also normal, you can pay 50,000 yuan first." ”

His hands trembled for a moment, and he asked cautiously, "Can medical insurance reimburse me?" ”

The nurse said, "I don't know about this, you go and ask the service desk and pay the money quickly, otherwise we won't be able to send it." ”

He sat back in his chair. Don't look at the way he usually drives a car and looks like a dog, but he really can't take out 50,000 yuan at once. He lost all his usual private money, and his daughter-in-law was in charge of the family's money, and he couldn't get a penny, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to the old lady to rub oil money.

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call his daughter-in-law, who worked very close to the hospital and could come over in a few minutes. But he knew that his daughter-in-law would never give so much money to the old lady's medical treatment. She wished that the old lady would die soon, and that she could inherit the house when she died.

He wanted to call his sister, but the brother and sister had just had a fight, and it was impossible for him to come back and pay his mother.

He thought about it and remembered the old lady's cat.

"Nurse, I don't have enough money on me, I have to go back and get it." He said.

"Okay, then hurry up, your mother's situation is not good, I can't afford to wait." The nurse said.

He hurried out, stopped halfway through, remembered the nurse's words, and called his daughter-in-law anyway. The daughter-in-law scolded her on the phone, she had to pay 50,000 yuan if she came in sick, whether she lost the gambling money again, how far away she died, and so on. He was so good at talking and making things clear. The daughter-in-law said that you wait, I will come over immediately, and stay in the hospital and not go away.

He was waiting in the hospital, and after a while, his daughter-in-law came. He gave the bill to his daughter-in-law and asked her to pay the money. The daughter-in-law said with a straight face, why should he pay it to his sister if he wants to pay it, unless he takes the old lady's real estate certificate. He said that you should pay the money first, there is a cat in Mom's house, and if I kill it, I will be rich.

The daughter-in-law raised her hand and crackled several times on his head, there is a cat? There's a cat you don't tell me! How many cats does the old lady really have? Is it that the money is behind my back and I am going out to have a good time?

He shrunk his neck and let his wife beat and scold, begging in his mouth, don't beat me, my mother has a cat, this is just picked up, and I just knew.

The daughter-in-law was tired, so she said that you should go quickly, you have to bring me the money when you get it, and you are not allowed to gamble, and you are not allowed to give it to your sister. He said I know, you should pay for the hospitalization quickly. The daughter-in-law said you can go, leave it to me here, and don't forget to look for the old lady's real estate certificate after getting the cat.

And he was gone. When he was leaving, he heard someone asking his daughter-in-law, you still have a cat at home, and the cat is worth a lot now. The daughter-in-law said beautifully, hey, there is not much money, you see our old lady, in order to raise a cat, she is still sick, and the money to kill the cat may not be enough to cure this disease. Others said, "That's right, when people are old, they can't figure out this abacus." Alas, it is difficult for you to be your children......

When he came out of the hospital, he was very irritable. The car stopped at the intersection of the red light, and when I was stunned, I didn't see the green light, and the car behind me honked its horn wildly. As soon as he got angry, he stepped on the accelerator and went out, and almost hit a little girl who ran a red light at the next red light intersection. He rolled down the car window, and just wanted to scold "walking without long eyes, running to mourn", which is what he is used to scolding, but suddenly remembered the word mourning, his heart tightened, and he quickly drove away.

By the time I got to my mother's quarters, it was already dark. This kind of parking space in the old community is not easy to find, especially after work. He wandered around for a long time, and finally stopped the car, and walked towards the old lady's house with the key in his hand.

When he was about to reach the door, he saw a man and a woman approaching him. The light from the street lamp is not very bright, and the face is not very clear. The man's chicken nest head, wearing an old windbreaker, it's been a cool autumn, and he wears a pull board on his feet, and he walks and taps. The woman's short-haired denim is heroic, if she hadn't occasionally shown a rather amorous smile beside the man, she really didn't know she was a woman.

The two of them looked very strange, and he looked at them a few more times. The man and the woman seemed to look at him as if they knew him. He heard a crow crow overhead, and in a trance, a cat meow.

When he entered the house, he saw several cat footprints on the table. He laughed, thinking that the cat must have run out of the house hungry on its own. He entered the room, lifted the sheets, took out several shoe boxes under the bed, and opened them one by one, but found no cat. He knelt down on the ground again and looked under the bed, took a picture with his phone, and there was nothing but a broken basin filled with sand.

He stood up, meowed, and searched all the rooms, but there was not a single cat shadow. He checked the doors and windows, they were all locked, and it was impossible for the cat to get out. The cat's paw prints on the table and the clay pot under the bed with cat feces can confirm that the mother does have a cat.

He suddenly remembered a man and a woman he had just met and the meow of a cat that seemed to be real and illusory.

Broken, is it a cat thief?

Thinking so, he hurried out.
