Chapter 181 Meet Yu Li again!
Chapter 181 Meet Yu Li again!
After leaving the grain station, Yu Li went to look for the sisters who used to play well with her. However, in that era, life was not easy for any family. In the end, these sisters, by scraping together money from here and there, could only raise a little over six yuan for Yu Li, which was still more than twenty yuan short of the money needed for the surgery.
Thinking about her mother's illness and the costs of her subsequent recovery, Yu Li finally felt itchy and decided to go to the hospital to sell blood to raise money for her mother's treatment.
Perhaps because she was concerned about her mother's safety, or because of the continuous running around, Yu Li was hungry and thirsty at the moment, and her steps became unsteady. As a result, when Yu Li wanted to find a place to rest for a while, a bicycle suddenly stopped beside Yu Li.
Jia Dongming looked at Yu Li, who looked a little pale, and asked her with concern: "Yu Li! What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
When Yu Li saw Jia Dongming suddenly appear in front of her, her pale face immediately showed an expectant expression, and she hurriedly asked Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Can you lend me 29 yuan? I will pay you back slowly when I make money in the future?"
Yu Li's reaction surprised Jia Dongming, and he quickly asked Yu Li: "Yu Li! Tell me what happened. I will help you if I can."
When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming's answer and thought of her mother's condition, she quickly introduced Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! This morning, my mother fainted while cleaning the house. My father and sister took my mother to the hospital. The doctor examined my mother and said that she had a tumor in her brain and needed surgery immediately."
"Because this surgery requires opening the skull, the cost of the surgery is very expensive. Our family's savings total only over 100 yuan, which is not enough to cover the cost of the surgery. I just asked my good friends to borrow money, but they only helped me to collect 6.30 yuan. Now I still need 29 yuan. Can you lend me 29 yuan? I will pay you back slowly when I make money."
A tumor in the brain is considered a serious disease in later generations, not to mention in this era when medicine is not very advanced.
When Jia Dongming learned that Yu Li's mother needed surgery immediately because of a tumor in her brain, he reached into his pocket without saying anything, took out a hundred yuan from the system space, handed it to the anxious Yu Li, and said to her, "Yu Li! Take this money first. If it's not enough, come back to me."
When Yu Li saw Jia Dongming and learned that her mother was going to have surgery, he took out a hundred yuan without saying a word and said that if the money was not enough, she could go to him to borrow more. This made Yu Li stunned.
It is said that there is no harm without comparison. Yu Li's mother was ill and hospitalized and needed money. Yu Li asked the Yan family to borrow money. Not only did the Yan family refuse to lend money, they also said that she was just wasting money by lending money to her mother's treatment.
On the other hand, Jia Dongming, an outsider, only asked her to borrow 29 yuan, but Jia Dongming didn't even frown and directly lent her 100 yuan.
Comparing the two, Yu Li wanted to slap herself. Why was she so blind that she didn't see the true face of the Yan family and married into a family like the Yan family that had no regard for family affection and was full of calculations?
Seeing the money Jia Dongming handed over, Yu Li was touched and quickly declined, "Director Jia! Thank you! But I don't need that much money. You only need to lend me thirty yuan."
Seeing Yu Li's hesitation, Jia Dongming stuffed the money in his hand into Yu Li's pocket and said to her, "Yu Li! You just said that you want to raise money for your mother's surgery. After your mother's surgery is completed, where are you going to borrow money for the subsequent treatment? So take this money first. If it's not enough, you can come to me again."
When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming's reminder, she remembered the follow-up expenses after her mother's surgery. She thanked Jia Dongming with gratitude, "Director Jia! Thank you!"
When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's thanks, he smiled and said to her, "Yu Li! You are not an employee of our steel mill. Why do you call me Director Jia? Just call me Brother Dongming."
Money is the courage of a hero. Although the 100 yuan was lent by Jia Dongming, with this 100 yuan, Yu Li no longer had to worry about her mother's medical expenses. Yu Li, who was originally overwhelmed, felt much more relaxed and quickly replied: "Well! Brother Dongming! I will call you like this from now on." When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's words, he thought of Yu Li's mother who was still waiting for money to save her life, and then asked Yu Li: "Yu Li! Which hospital is your mother in? I'll take you there by bicycle."
When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming mention her mother, she remembered that her mother was still in the hospital waiting for money to save her life. At this moment, she didn't bother to be polite with Jia Dongming and quickly said to him, "Brother Dongming! My mother is in the People's Hospital."
When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's words, he immediately called out to her, "Yu Li! Then get in the car quickly. I'll take you to the hospital."
After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Yu Li did not bother to be polite with him. She sat on the back seat of the bicycle, reached out and grabbed the corner of Jia Dongming's clothes, and thanked him: "Brother Dongming! Thank you!"
The bicycle sped along the road, and Yu Li sat quietly on the back of the bicycle. Thinking of what happened today, she said to Jia Dongming with a choked voice, "Brother Dongming! To be honest, if I hadn't met you just now, I would have been selling blood at the People's Hospital to raise money for my mother's surgery."
Jia Dongming, who was riding a bicycle, was surprised when he heard Yu Li's words. He asked Yu Li curiously, "Yu Li! Yan Jiecheng is your husband. Your mother was sick and hospitalized. Didn't you ask him or the third uncle to raise money for her treatment?"
When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming mention the Yan family, she thought of the Yan family's sneers and calculations, and a resentful expression appeared on her face. She replied in a very cold tone: "How could there be no one! When I just learned that my mother was in the hospital and needed surgery, the first person I looked for was my mother-in-law."
"My mother-in-law said she had no money and asked me to ask my father-in-law for help. She also said something sarcastic when I was leaving, saying that my mother's illness was so serious that it would be better to use the money to buy delicious food for my mother instead of wasting it. Brother Dongming, do you think this is human language?"
Yu Li paused for a moment and continued, "After I left the courtyard, I went straight to Hongxing Primary School and found my father-in-law. When he learned why I came, he said he didn't have that much money and took out a dollar from his pocket. But when he took out the money, I saw that he also had five and ten dollars in his pocket."
"I didn't ask for a dollar at the time, so I ran to the grain station where Yan Jiecheng worked as a temporary worker, hoping that Yan Jiecheng could give me the money he had saved over the years to help my mother with the surgery. But when he saw me asking him for money, he didn't even ask about my mother's condition, and just said he had no money."
"Brother Dongming! How could I have been so blind to marry into a family like the Yan family, who are so calculating and cold-blooded? You should know that when I approached my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I was asking them to borrow money, not to ask for it."
Others may not know whether the Yan family is rich or not, but Jia Dongming knows that Yan Bugui is rich, and very rich, otherwise he would not have been able to buy a bicycle and a radio, and later even a TV.
After hearing what Yu Li said, Jia Dongming felt her resentment towards the Yan family. He didn't know how to comfort Yu Li and could only respond to her confession with silence.
Soon the bicycle stopped at the gate of the People's Hospital. Jia Dongming parked the bicycle and encouraged Yu Li, whose eyes were red, "Yu Li! There are only turns in life that cannot be turned, but also no obstacles that cannot be overcome. No matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as you face them head-on and move forward courageously, don't be afraid, don't retreat, everything will pass."
Yu Li was moved when she heard Jia Dongming's encouragement and nodded. She replied with a choked voice: "Yes! Brother Dongming! I understand. Thank you for your encouragement."
After hearing Yu Li's thanks, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Yu Li! Go in and pay your mother's surgery fee. If you don't have enough money, come to me. Remember, as long as money can solve the problem, it's not a big deal."
When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming's words and felt the confidence in his words, she couldn't help but show admiration in her eyes. She nodded and replied, "Brother Dongming! Then I'll go in first."
