In the People's Hospital of the Eastern Yang City, Qin Fen stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the hospital bed in the intensive care unit.
A nurse came over and said to him with a cold face, "You are the family of Liu Qiaoying, aren't you? Hurry up and pay for the money you owe! And the money for the operation tomorrow, prepare 100,000 first."
Qin Fen's body trembled.
100,000.
He, who rarely saw even a hundred yuan, only knew that it was an astronomical figure.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the nurse threw the bill impatiently into his arms. "You must pay the fee before 17 o'clock, or the treatment will stop."
After the nurse left, Qin Fen looked at his unconscious mother, who was lying on the hospital bed. The grievance in his heart turned into tears that swirled in his eyes.
Last night, her mother was hit by a car on the side of the road when she got off work. She was sent to the hospital until she got up early and was found.
Qin Fen rushed to the hospital in shock. He didn't have any money, and the doctor didn't give him any treatment. He knelt at the door of the doctor's office for half an hour, and a kind-hearted nurse came over to vouch for Qin Fen before he was rescued.
However, the next 100,000 yuan for treatment was an insurmountable hurdle.
Her father passed away early, and her poor family couldn't bear it. Her mother got up early and worked hard to earn money to support Qin Fen. It could be said that she hadn't had a good day, but today she became like this.
Qin Fen made up his mind to save his mother.
He was the first to come to his uncle's house because his uncle was his only family member. He thought that his uncle had to help him when he encountered such a situation.
While she was explaining her purpose to her uncle, her aunt spoke first.
"Two words: No money! Your mother needs money to get sick, but we don't either. Not to mention the car loan, your sister also spent a lot of money to go to school. In addition, your uncle is incapable, so we can't afford the money ourselves! Let alone lend it to you!"
Aunt said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
It seemed that he had forgotten that their family had gone out for a trip this year and said that they would buy another suite last month.
Qin Fen's tears immediately fell as he pleaded,
"Aunt, this is the money for my mother's life. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back. Can you save my mother's life first?"
However, her aunt remained unmoved. Instead, she sneered and said, "You? What are you going to pay for it? Even if you save her life, the treatment fee in the future will be a bottomless pit! How can a student like you get money?"
Qin Fen was immediately at a loss for words. His aunt was right. His family was so poor that it was impossible for him to bear the burden.
He had no choice but to look at his uncle. As a man in his family and his mother's younger brother, he had to do something.
But his uncle pursed his lips in embarrassment and said nothing.
Her aunt pointed at her uncle's nose and scolded, "Why are you looking at this good-for-nothing? You can't make money. Don't waste your time here. Go somewhere else and find a way!"
Qin Fen wiped away his tears and was pushed out of the door by his aunt. He helplessly squatted on the ground and shed tears.
After a while, his uncle quietly came out of his house and stuffed a stack of money into Qin Fen's face. With a reluctant expression, he said, "This thousand yuan is my private money. There's only this much left. Take it. Don't let your aunt know. I'll go back first."
After that, she opened the door and went back.
Then he heard his aunt's scolding, "What are you doing? Did you secretly give money to that little bastard?"
His uncle quickly explained, "No, no, I don't have money. I just smoked a cigarette."
He could hear his aunt's stern voice through the door. "Humph, I'm telling you, don't give him a penny! This guy doesn't even have a father, and he can't afford it. He will be a drag in the future! If your sister Liu Qiaoying dies, you don't have to care about this little bastard. He is already so old, let him go to society and die on his own!"
Tears gushed out of Qin Fen's eyes as his aunt's cold words sent chills down his spine.
