Chapter 013: Bankrupt family must be cured
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Xiaoqin didn't have to make tofu, she went back to her room to sleep after setting off firecrackers to Xia Laoer's grave, but she didn't know that she fell asleep not long ago, and was awakened by Xia Xiaofu's crying.
Xia Xiaoqin hurriedly put on her clothes, and as soon as she arrived at the hall, she saw Ma Xiaomei holding Xia Xiaofu upright, teasing him with "oh oh oh"!
Shen Shu also came over from the kitchen, she reached out to pick up Xia Xiaofu, but Ma Xiaomei refused.
Xia Xiaoqin said helpfully: "Auntie, Xiaofu may be hungry, you let my mother feed him." ”
"Children just have to endure hunger and cold, and it is a good thing to be hungry, and I will bring some in the future."
Xia Xiaoqin didn't believe Ma Xiaomei's crooked theory, in her last life, she heard the theory of intimate parenting, Ma Xiaomei's old-fashioned ones have long been eliminated!
Xia Xiaoqin saw that Mrs. Xia didn't move, and Xia Xiaofu was already crying so much that her voice was almost hoarse, so she immediately straightened her face: "Auntie, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, you want my brother to be hungry?" In the new year, do you still want Xiaofu to be good? ”
Old Mrs. Xia sprang up at this time, and a look made Ma Xiaomei lose her arrogance, and quickly returned Xia Xiaofu to Shen Shu.
Shen Shu took Xia Xiaofu to the East House, Ma Xiaomei didn't want to lose the field, and said unforgivingly: "You spoil the child like this, it will be very difficult to bring it in the future, and you are the one who suffers!" ”
"We don't have to worry about our aunt, and we don't need my aunt to help us take care of the children."
"Don't I feel sorry for your milk!" Ma Xiaomei gave Mrs. Xia a look and asked Mrs. Xia to help.
Mrs. Xia glanced sideways at Ma Xiaomei and shouted to the kitchen: "Xiao Dan, what are you always doing in the kitchen, come to the hall to talk to your sister!" ”
Xia Hongdan reluctantly arrived at the hall, and there was still oil on his mouth that had not been wiped clean!
Xia Xiaoqin really has nothing to say to this cousin, Xia Hongdan and Ma Xiaomei have the same temperament, lazy, venomous, and shallow-eyed, which is very annoying!
"Xia Xiaoqin, why are you looking for Xia Xiaoling to do things? Why don't you look for me? 10 yuan a month, aren't you cheap others! ”
Xia Hongdan spoke at Ma Xiaomei's signal, and as soon as she finished speaking, Ma Xiaomei hurriedly helped: "Yes, how relieved our own family is to use it!" ”
"Sister Xiaoling has a good reputation in the village." Xia Xiaoqin said meaningfully.
"Xiao Dan is his own person." Mrs. Xia is biased towards Xia Hongdan, in her heart, her granddaughters are the same, Xia Xiaoqin is capable, Xia Hongdan will not be bad.
"Your own people? Then my leg is injured, please ask her to help me deliver tofu, why didn't she go? Xia Xiaoqin said angrily, "You only see Sister Xiaoling's salary of 10 yuan, why don't you ask me what I let her do?" Did Sister Xiao Dan, who suffers from hardship, do it? ”
"What Xia Xiaoling can do, I can do!" Xia Hongdan puffed his chest and said, "I am much stronger than Xia Xiaoling!" ”
"That's good, I invite you to run the market, as long as you can sell a plate of tofu, I will give you 1 cent, you can sell ten plates a day, you will have 1 yuan, 30 yuan a month, are you willing to do it?"
"Yes! Willing! Ma Xiaomei's ears only heard 30 yuan a month, and she didn't understand what it meant to run the market.
Mrs. Xia opened her mouth and wanted to interject, but she was swept over by Xia Xiaoqin's eyes, and the ruthless look startled Mrs. Xia, and the words she wanted to say were swallowed back into her stomach.
Isn't it just running the market?
Xia Xiaoqin can sell so much tofu in a day, and Xiao Dan should be able to do it too.
So be it!
Mrs. Xia is still relying on Xia Xiaoqin to make money, Xia Xiaoqin is so strong that she can lift her up with one hand, she doesn't dare to play tricks in front of Xia Xiaoqin, and she becomes a turtle with a shrunken head.
After the New Year, the first thing Xia Xiaoqin did was to take Xia Xiuxue to the hospital for a checkup!
The doctors in Anxian County knew that Xia Xiuxue's case would be sent to the Beijing Hospital, and wrote the case in great detail, and checked it several times after writing, for fear of missing a little detail and making the doctors in the capital unable to understand it.
The reply of the Beijing People's Hospital was sent into a telegram and sent directly to Zheng Lan's "Xiangmanyuan", a telegram of nearly 1,000 words detailed the treatment plan, Xia Xiaoqin knew that this was Zheng Kun's help again, and it was a lot of money, if it was written and mailed, I am afraid it would take half a month to float to her.
Xia Xiaoqin hurriedly called Zheng Kun again to express her gratitude.
This time, Zheng Kun didn't miss it, he hung up the phone and was so happy that anyone could see that he was in a good mood, which provoked the Zheng family to ask him why.
Xia Xiaoqin returned home with a "heavy" telegram, she was mixed in her heart, and the rest of the family was in the same mood.
Happily, the reply from the People's Hospital was that it could be treated, and only in the capital could be treated, because Xia Xiuxue's leg was not operated on in time and did not recover well, and the injury was aggravated.
The worry is that Xia Xiaoqin's medical expenses are far from enough! The budget made by the People's Hospital made her better prepare 3,000 yuan, no matter how little it is, it can't be less than 2,000!
This amount of money is an astronomical amount for the current Xia Lao Er's family!
"Little sister, do you want to ...... Forget it. Xia Xiuxue's heart was the most bitter, and the dream he had stood up was shattered again.
"No, it must be treated, even if it is a land sale, it must be treated!" Xia Xiaoqin's attitude was very resolute.
"You must not sell land!" Mrs. Xia was the first to jump to her feet, in the heart of an old farmer like her, land is everything, and without land, you will starve to death!
What's more, Mrs. Xia has more than one grandson in Xia Xiuxue, Mrs. Xia thinks that the once proud and high-achieving students of the Xia family have been abolished, and the old Xia family has four grandchildren, and Xia Xiuxue's position in Mrs. Xia's heart has been ranked last.
With Mrs. Xia making trouble, Xia Xiaoqin couldn't talk about it at all. After dinner, Mrs. Xia wiped her mouth and went to the old Xia family next door, Xia Xiaoqin could think of it with her heels, she must have gone to talk about Xia Xiuxue.
Xia Xiaoqin cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and as soon as she finished sweeping the yard, she saw Shen Shu holding Xia Xiaofu in her arms, standing in front of the door of the hall and looking at her with tears in her eyes.
Xia Xiaoqin was taken aback by Shen Shu's expression, she knew that after giving birth, women are prone to emotional ups and downs due to endocrine reasons, and they are more likely to suffer from postpartum depression.
"Mom?"
"Hey." Shen Shu responded, didn't care about the tears on his face, and said directly, "Xiaoqin, come here, I have something to tell you." ”
Xia Xiaoqin followed Shen Shu into the East House.
Shen Shu put Xia Xiaofu on the bed, Xia Xiaofu, who had just been full moon, had a round face, he and Xia Xiaoqin had inherited Shen Shu's big eyes, the small eyeballs were turning smartly, Xia Xiaoqin teased him, he smiled and stretched out his tongue, and brought two bubbles out.
Shen Shu looked at the scene of Xia Xiaoqin and Xia Xiaofu interacting, and his eyes turned red again.
"Celery." Shen Shu shouted Xia Xiaoqin and stuffed the piece of things in his hand to her.
Xia Xiaoqin spread out her palm, and in her hand was a pure white jade pendant.
This piece of jade is as big as Xia Xiaoqin's palm, and the main carving is a phoenix bird, and the whole phoenix bird combines the techniques of bright carving and dark lining, which looks lifelike. On the top of the phoenix bird's head was half a word "Xi", so Xia Xiaoqin deduced that this piece of jade pendant should have been a pair.
Xia Xiaoqin had been to Nanshi in her last life, and she had seen good jade in the jade market, and she could see at a glance that this piece of jade was unusual, if it was put in the 21st century, even if there were hundreds of thousands, she couldn't buy it!
"Mom? You're ......."
"The proprietress who came to our house last time, I think she is a good person, see if you can ask her to find a good family for this piece of jade pendant and change your brother's medical expenses."
Xia Xiaoqin saw that Shen Shu's gaze had been glued to this piece of jade, so she asked, "Mom, what special meaning should this piece of jade have, right?" Are you really going to sell it? ”
"Your father is kind to us, we must heal his leg!"
Xia Xiaoqin felt that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in Shen Shu's words, but she didn't want to say more if Xia Xiaoqin asked again.
Xia Xiaoqin had no choice but to put away the jade pendant and prepare to take it to Zheng Lan tomorrow.
