(72) Repayment of debts
(seventy-two)
Time seems to be incomparably long, I don't know how long it took, the blue iron door finally opened, a doctor walked out, Zhang's mother bounced up from the chair, Zhang's father and Zhao Pang rushed forward, the doctor's eyes on the mask, showing a smile: "The bleeding has stopped!" ”
"Ah, thank you!" Zhao Pang raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone in his heart was moved, the tight strings were relaxed, and Zhang Yuling's father looked at the doctor excitedly: "Thank you!" Thank you! Zhang's mother burst into tears and smiled, and bowed to the doctor again and again.
"Okay, you can rest with your eyes closed." The doctor said kindly to Zhang Yuling. Zhang Yuling was overjoyed: "It's good to be alive!" Only then did he close his tired eyes peacefully.
After a few days of observation in the intensive care unit, Zhang Yuling was finally transferred to the general ward. Everyone took a breath, it happened so suddenly, too hastily, and nothing was ready.
Caesarean section does not need to experience the dark contraction pain of natural birth, but the pain after anesthesia is even more unbearable. A wound of more than ten centimeters, it hurts when you move. Even the bed was accidentally touched by the aunt who mopped the floor, and Zhang Yuling felt pain. Especially after the contraction injection, it is like a sharp knife stirring in the abdomen.
The pain in my body seems to be bearable, and I am fortunate to have survived the postpartum hemorrhage and lose my right to be a woman without being removed*.
But in reality, the renminbi is an inescapable problem. The hospitalization fee for the mother and daughter is a large amount. Zhang Yuling spent 10,000 yuan for a caesarean section, and more than 20,000 yuan for rescue and blood transfusion in the intensive care unit. There is also a daughter who needs to live in an incubator, and she has to pay thousands a day. The daughter was born only more than three catties, and she had to stay in the incubator for half a month, which is another fifteen thousand. There are also children's diapers and baby products, which also cost thousands. This time it will take tens of thousands of yuan, and the money prepared before has been used up, and there is still a shortage of 20,000 yuan.
Zhao Pang lined up at the toll window, looked at the list of fees sent by the nurse, sighed heavily, his eyebrows twisted into a twist, his hands rubbed his face anxiously, and his cheeks were rubbed with red marks. It's coming to him soon, and there is not much left in his card, so he can only deal with the charge this time, what will he do later?
In the ward, my sister said, "Xiaoling, since you have no money, then I will pay you back 20,000 yuan, right?" ”
When Zhang Yuling heard this, she angrily put the mobile phone next to the pillow and slammed it on the ground: "Your family is really good at settling accounts!" The money I saved before marriage and the dowry money given by my parents were all wiped out by you, and now I am dying, and I have almost died after a trip to the ghost gate, and I have children for your Zhang family, and you still want to use my own dowry money, do you think that my Zhang family is a bank? It's best to marry a daughter-in-law without spending a penny, and if you have children, you will still stick to you?! Is there such a sister in the world who doesn't think about others at all? ”
My sister believed it for tat: "Zhang Yuling, this child is also your own flesh and blood, how can it be called 'giving birth to a child for our Zhang family'?" Won't the child call you mom in the future? Will the child repay us with gratitude in the future? You are the mother of your children, you should have paid for your own children, and you should live your own life! I'm in love to help you, and if I don't help you, you won't have anything to say! It's all a family, is it interesting to say this kind of two-family talk? You've got it all too well! ”
Seeing this, the father-in-law sitting on the side hurriedly played a round: "20,000, I'll go out!" I'll give it, don't fight, the child is still in the incubator, how can you do it if you don't have money! ”
At this time, Zhang Yuling and her sister were silent.
"There are 20,000 in this card, you give Zhao Fat, giving birth to a child is a big deal!" The father-in-law took out a card and handed it to his sister.
My sister took the card. Zhang Yuling remained silent and turned her head to the wall.
It has to be said that money sometimes creates a lot of problems, but it can also solve a lot of problems. The two concubines stopped arguing, and the ward fell silent.
My sister and in-laws went home to rest, and Zhao Pang stayed in the hospital to accompany the bed. Zhao Pang said to Zhang Yuling: "Xiaoling, my sister lent me 10,000 yuan, and the other 10,000 yuan was returned to my father." ”
Zhang Yuling was puzzled: "Didn't Dad say to give 20,000?" What did she do when she went back? ”
"Well, I don't know, she probably thinks I have money in my hands." Zhao Pang knew that Zhang Yuling and her parents and aunts about money was a sensitive topic, so he didn't dare to mention it in front of everyone, for fear of causing conflicts.
Zhang Yuling has a shadow on her sister who has repeatedly asked her to borrow money from herself, she knows that her sister's little abacus in terms of money is a thief, and this suddenly gave 10,000 less, what does it mean? So I asked Zhao Pang for a mobile phone and dialed my father-in-law's phone: "Dad, my sister gave Zhao Pang 10,000, did she return the other 10,000 to you?" ”
My father-in-law was surprised and said, "I didn't receive 10,000!" I asked her. ”
When Zhang Yuling heard this, sure enough, her sister still kept a hand, and she was a lot of money in the stomach.
Half an hour later, my father-in-law's phone called: "Hey, Xiaoling, your sister has taken it to repay her credit card, her credit card is almost overdue, and if she doesn't pay it back, she will have a lot of interest." ”
When Zhang Yuling heard this, she angrily stuffed her mobile phone to Zhao Pang and sneered: "Look at your good sister!" ”
Zhang Yuling thought that Zhao Pang would be as indignant as herself. After all, my dad gave me all 20,000 yuan for me and my children to be hospitalized, and my sister used it to repay the credit card privately, which is not right! If you don't pay the money, the hospital will be bombarded, this Zhao Fat, won't he even know the importance of right and wrong?
As a result, Zhao Pang just said lightly: "Well, okay, then I'll figure it out myself." ”
If it weren't for the wound in her abdomen, Zhang Yuling really wanted to slap him: "Your whole family protects your sister!" Let your sister take advantage of me, why? ”
"Xiaoling, it's not taking advantage, Dad gave 20,000, let's 10,000, sister 10,000, it's very fair! That's my sister, what's the difference between her use and mine? Don't be angry, my husband pinched his fingers and counted, it will be time to pay my salary in a few days, let's not worry, don't be angry with my sister. ”
"You are a family, but you are married, she is your sister, but she has her own small family. We have our little family, and it's right to be filial and love our siblings, but we can't sacrifice our small family, right? Don't you know what our background is now? Pockets are cleaner than faces! ”
"Xiaoling, don't be angry, I said, don't worry about my business, I can solve the money matter myself." Zhao Pang peeled a dragon fruit and handed it to Zhang Yuling, trying to gag her mouth and also trying to change the topic, he knew that this problem was too complicated for him to solve at all.
With such a husband who cares about the family, they are a solid family, and Zhang Yuling herself has become a scheming outsider.
Zhang Yuling had no choice but to regret why she had a financial dispute with her sister in the first place.
In a flash, the National Day came, and my mother-in-law's mother was sick, so she took the baby back to her hometown. Li Xiaocan took advantage of the holiday and rushed back to her hometown, she hadn't seen the baby for too long, and she almost forgot what it was like for the baby to lie in her arms. The baby doesn't know me anymore.
The baby is eight months old and drinks milk powder and eats complementary food. Li Xiaocan boiled a bowl of porridge, because he heard that the child could not eat salt within one year old, so Li Xiaocan
I didn't put anything, after feeding the baby a sip, the baby refused to drink, only pushed the bowl out, Li Xiaocan fed it again, and the baby's resistance became more intense, and he resisted by crying.
Li Xiaocan had no choice but to eat the bland and tasteless white porridge by himself.
The next day, Li Xiaocan came back from shopping for vegetables and saw his mother-in-law feeding the baby porridge, the baby seemed to love porridge, his small mouth smashed and smashed, and his little hands waved around, expressing his excitement and happiness.
Li Xiaocan wondered: "Mom, has the baby eaten porridge?" ”
"Well, eat, look how fragrant he is eating now!"
"It's strange, he obviously didn't eat it yesterday, why did he suddenly become so fond of eating today?" Li Xiaocan asked suspiciously.
"Maybe he's grown up and his tastes have changed!" The mother-in-law held the baby and was a little proud.
Li Xiaocan put the dishes in the kitchen and saw that there was white porridge in the rice cooker, why did this white porridge baby drink so happily? So I tasted it, it doesn't matter if I don't taste it, I was shocked by this taste, the white porridge actually has a salty salt taste!
Li Xiaocan was furious and went to the living room to ask her mother-in-law: "Mom, what do you give the child to eat?" ”
"Porridge!" The mother-in-law still wants to hide it.
"Is it just white porridge? Do you remember what you put in it? Li Xiaocan asked.
"It's just a little salt, and you won't have a problem eating it." The mother-in-law said indifferently.
"Mom, children can't eat salt within one year old, don't you know? Eating it will damage his body! Li Xiaocan trembled with anger.
"You also eat salt, why don't you see your damage to your body?! White porridge has no taste at all, no wonder he doesn't eat it, he doesn't eat it, and he doesn't keep up with any nutrition! "My mother-in-law's eloquence is so good, it's a waste that she didn't work as a negotiator or salesperson.
"Mom, the kidneys aren't fully developed! Can't eat! Li Xiaocan couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought of the baby. Although those who don't know are not guilty, why doesn't the mother-in-law learn parenting knowledge, and why let the baby's physical health pay for your ignorance.
"What this can't that can't! Blind and exquisite, do you think the child grows well? "My mother-in-law was upset.
"Mom, let's raise children scientifically, okay?" Li Xiaocan said in a soft voice.
"If you think I'm not scientific, you can raise children scientifically. Zhang Gang was brought up by me, is there anything wrong with him? If you don't worry about me, it's good for you to bring it yourself! ”
The mother-in-law threw down this sentence, and put the baby in the car in dissatisfaction and went out.
Li Xiaocan looked at her mother-in-law's back, not knowing what to do. The baby was still babbling something, looking pitiful and in need of companionship, so he stretched out his hands to the baby: "Baby, come, mom hug." The baby also stretched out his hands in response, giggling, holding his feet and nibbling from time to time, looking very flexible and healthy.
