Jiang Xi grabbed her mother's hand. Her mother was still conscious, but she was breathing very hard. I saw that her heart was fluttering and fluctuating very much. When I walked closer, I could even hear her heart "dongdongdong" and beating deafeningly, giving people a feeling that it was winded up and jumped desperately like the heart was rushed and could not be controlled. It was like the candle that was about to burn out, and it was like the last bit of strength that it was about to jump to death, until the oil was exhausted and the lamp was exhausted before it could stop.

"Mom!" Jiang Xi's tears had already flooded her gaze. Her mother slowly opened her eyes, and a tear slid down from the corner of her eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but she had no strength.

At this time, the aunt next to her, who was the person who called Jiang Xi. She was my mother-in-law's good friend. She wiped her tears and said to Jiang Xi, "Your mother has been working as a nanny for others in the past two months. She cooks and cleans the family. This family is not very kind. She can only hire a nanny. She uses your mother hard. The cooking requirements are high and the hygiene requirements are high. I saw that she was too tired, so she advised her not to do it. As a result, she said that although this job is a little tiring, she gave her more money, and she gave her six hundred yuan a month. , She wanted to last for three months, earn 1,800 yuan, and save some milk powder for her unborn grandson or granddaughter. She said that when the child is born, it would be fine if the milk is enough. If it is insufficient, she has to drink milk powder. The milk powder cannot be bought bad ones. If it is poor, it is easy to cause problems if it is poor, so she needs to buy famous brands. She also said that Xiao Jiang and Jiang Xi earn money. In addition to paying the mortgage and removing living expenses, there is not much money left. It is not enough for her to drink milk powder for her child... Unexpectedly, she did not persist for three months!"

The aunt was already crying when she said this, and Jiang Xi and I were already crying.

My mother-in-law, why are you so stupid? You have so many worries and many worries in your heart. You should tell us. We don’t understand, just tell us. Let us young people find a way! Your body cannot bear this burden!

Jiang Xi held her mother's hand tightly with one hand, her body was already weak and leaned softly in my arms, tears flowing silently, sobbing and panting.

At this time, a doctor came over to inspect. Jiang Xi quickly wiped his tears and asked, "Doctor, how about my mother? Is it life-threatening?"

The doctor said seriously, "Her condition has a serious recurrence. It is hard to say whether she is in danger of life. It depends on whether she has relieved after these three bottles of medicines. It is a good thing to have relief. If there is no relief, it is hard to say. Your family members have to pay the fee with me. The patient must be hospitalized in this way. Please pay the hospital deposit first, 50,000 yuan."

fifty thousand?

When I heard the money count, my heart was stuttering. When I saw Jiang Xi's face turned pale, I grabbed her hand tightly and said, "You are here to accompany my mother, I'll find a way."

Jiang Xi said with red eyes, "What can you think of? That's so much money."

I said, "I'll ask someone to borrow it. You promised me, don't go anywhere. You'll be here to accompany your mother. You must protect yourself and the children in your belly and stop anything from happening, okay?"

Jiang Xi looked at me and nodded with a sob. I knew she must be more uncomfortable than me, because it was her mother who was sick. This kind of skin-deep pain was not biological, and outsiders could not fully understand it.

Jiang Xi gave me her mother's ID card and my salary card.

Since Jiang Xi and her mother do not have a Beijing household registration, Jiang Xi’s mother used to be a temporary worker, and Jiang Xi is a freelancer, so neither of them had bought medical insurance and had to leave for their own expenses when they saw a doctor.

In our family, the only one I collected from Jiang Xi’s salary card is more than 10,000 yuan.

I first found the doctor who treated Jiang Xi's mother. I whispered to the doctor, "Doctor, I am Zheng Xinyan's family. We only have more than 10,000 yuan on us now. Can I get my mother-in-law hospitalized and treat it first, and then I will find a way to borrow money immediately."

The doctor was not surprised by my words. It seemed that she was used to seeing patients who were short of money. She just said expressionlessly, "Can you guarantee that you will pay the remaining 40,000 before tomorrow? The medicine your mother-in-law used is imported and very expensive. If her condition can improve tonight, there will be no need to change the medicine tomorrow. Ten thousand yuan will be enough for three days. If her condition cannot improve, she may have to change more expensive medicines. She has no medical insurance and is fully paid for at all. Your 10,000 yuan will not be enough for two days. If you owe the fees, the hospital will stop the medicine, and I have no choice."

I immediately said, "I understand, I understand, I will find a way as soon as possible to try to hand over the money before tonight."

The doctor looked at me and said, "Okay, then you can go and go to the hospitalization procedures first! There are many people and noisy people in the emergency room, which is not conducive to the recovery of the patient. Let her go to the ward as soon as possible to have a good rest."

"Okay! OK! Thank you doctor!"

The doctor gave me a hospitalization pass. I went to the hospital window and paid 10,000 yuan first, and then accompanied Jiang Xi, with the help of the nurse, I sent my mother-in-law to the ward.

The ward has a four-bedroom apartment, but it is also quieter and more comfortable than the emergency hall, but the hospital is a hospital, and there is always a feeling of white terrifying at first glance.

Jiang Xi's mother closed her eyes and sucked oxygen, not knowing whether she fell asleep or fell into a coma.

Jiang Xi sat beside her and kept holding her hand, as if she was afraid of losing her mother.

I whispered to Jiang Xi, "I'll go out!"

Jiang Xi nodded, she guessed what I was going to do.

I walked out of the hospital and called my elder sister immediately. When I encountered difficulties, the first thing I thought of was my own family, but my second sister answered the phone.

My second sister was very happy to receive the call from me, "Brother, you haven't called for a long time. My sister is cooking. How are you? I heard that you and Jiang Xi bought a house. Congratulations!"

When she said this, I could feel that she was really happy for me, and what I was about to say was not sure what would change her.

I said, "Second sister, we bought a house. The down payment for buying a house is all earned by Jiang Xi..."

"Ah! That's how, Jiang Xi is really capable!" The second sister was quite happy.

"Second sister, Jiang Xi's mother is sick and hospitalized, and it costs 50,000 yuan. We just bought a house and now we only have 10,000 yuan left. I called this time because I wanted to borrow some from you and my elder sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second sister stopped talking.

About a minute later, the second sister said, "Oh, I advised you not to be with Jiang Xi. This is the thing I am afraid of. Their mother and mother don't even have medical insurance. We are all ordinary people. Who can afford this? What do you think you will do now?"

"I just want to borrow 20,000 yuan from you and my elder sister." I said with almost no emotion.

"It's not about whether to borrow money or not. We will lend you 20,000 yuan. If Jiang Xi's mother gets cured, it's okay. The problem is that her disease. Once she is hospitalized, she may be a bottomless pit. Can 50,000 yuan be? A hundred thousand may not be able to get it out. An old mother here has a heart disease. She spent more than 300,000 yuan. Now she is still alive and still living in the hospital. She can survive in several thousand a day. Her son is rich and can afford it. Can you withstand it..."

"Second sister!" I suddenly roared and interrupted her, "I don't want to hear this now. I just want to borrow 20,000 yuan from you alone. Please tell me and my elder sister, I swear, I will definitely return it to you in the future. Jiang Xi is still pregnant now, and I am really worried that she will be anxious and get angry."

I wanted to control my emotions, but at the end I still choked up.

The second sister paused for a while and said, "Ah? Jiang Xi is pregnant? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

I said, "I wanted to tell you recently, but before I could share this good news with you, this happened."

The second sister was stunned for a moment, "What... wait a moment, I will discuss with my sister, and then call you back!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

I sat on the steps at the entrance of the hospital, and my mind was blank for a moment, thinking what should I do if my two sisters didn't lend me money?

I've borrowed it from the squad leader? I've never spoken, it's really a bit embarrassed.

Borrowing from Zhou Qiang? I just heard from him a few days ago that the money he had in hand was almost spent on his new girlfriend, and the other money was saved regularly. Why do I have the nerve to speak?

Yang Xiaojun? It is even more difficult for people who have never had money to borrow money.

Knead! I hesitated for a long time, but still placed my hope on my two sisters.

Half an hour later, my second sister and elder sister did not call me back, and my heart became colder.

There is no way, I can’t bear to give up my face in front of others, and I can’t take care of that much in front of my sister. I took the initiative to call my elder sister’s phone again.

The second sister answered the phone, but this time she said cleanly, "I discussed with my sister and we will give you 10,000 yuan first. Do you think it's okay? We think it may not be useful if we get too much money. Heart disease is not like other diseases."

What else can I say? It’s obvious that I’m afraid that I can’t get it if I borrow too much! But what qualifications do I have to blame my elder sister and second sister? It’s better to have 20,000 yuan than not! I don’t think about anything now, I just want money.

"Okay, you can call my account!"

I sent a message to my second sister, and the second sister replied to me that she immediately went to the bank to send me money.

About half an hour later, I received the 20,000 yuan from my second sister.

There are still 20,000 left. Who should I borrow from? Squad leader? Zhou Qiang? Yang Xiaojun? These three people are relatively close to me. The others have contacted so little, so why can I speak?

Just when I was struggling to choose one of these people to borrow money, I received a QQ text message from Jiang Xi: How much did you borrow? I have borrowed 10,000 yuan from here and I have already obtained it.

When I heard this, my heart lit up a little, and immediately replied to her: I have borrowed 20,000 yuan and I have already obtained it.

She sent me another message: There is still 10,000 left, let's get together, come and find me first!

Me: OK!

I returned to the ward to meet Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi said, "I still have 5,000 yuan in my other bank card. That was earned before and I haven't moved. Your salary card should be more than 14,000 yuan. I borrowed 10,000 yuan, and you borrowed 20,000 yuan. This is almost enough for 50,000 yuan."

"Yes!" I felt relieved when I heard this news.

"Then you get all the money and pay the fee, don't delay my mother's treatment."

"Okay! I'll go now."

The big money gathered together for 49,700 yuan, Jiang Xi and I went through the pockets again, and each of us found more than one hundred yuan.

"It's still a hundred dollars short of 50,000!"

At the end, this was the case. At that moment, I suddenly felt very sad. I would not be able to borrow a hundred yuan, but when I thought that at the critical moment, I didn’t even have one hundred, I hated myself for being incompetent.

The good friend of Jiang Xi’s mother has not left yet and has been with her. When she saw the two of us, she quickly said, “I have one hundred, don’t cry for the child. I have more than two hundred on me. I will take them all for you first, and you have to leave some money to eat!”

Jiang Xi took the money from the aunt's hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you aunt. I'll give it back to you immediately when we have it."

"Oh, what's my money? It doesn't matter if I don't pay it back. Go and pay your mother first. You haven't eaten dinner yet. Come back and buy a few buns to eat. Pregnant women should not be hungry, don't starve the child."

"Okay!" I agreed and took the money to pay the hospitalization fee.

When I came back, I really bought a few meat buns and bought a box of milk for Jiangxi. Along the way, when Jiangxi couldn't see it, my tears couldn't help but flow down. When I arrived at the door of the ward, I wiped my tears and walked in.

I divided Jiang Xi into three buns, and the aunt’s two, and I ate two.

Jiang Xi was really hungry. She ate three buns in just a few bites and drank another box of milk.

"Jiang Xi!" At this time, Jiang Xi's mother suddenly woke up.

"Mom! How are you doing? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Jiang Xi asked nervously.

Her mother shook her head weakly and said, "No, I feel much more comfortable, I'm just a little tired and powerless."

I also found that Jiang Xi's mother's heartbeat didn't seem as intense as it was at the beginning.

Jiang Xi's mother held Jiang Xi with one hand and reached out to me with the other. I quickly handed over her hand, and she grabbed me.

Her tears slid from the corners of her wrinkled eyes and said, "I'm sorry for you!"

"Mom, what are you saying? You are my mom, it's our right to take care of you." Jiang Xi said fiercely.

I was afraid that Jiang Xi's mother would be sad, so I quickly said, "Mom, you are Jiang Xi's mother, and it's my mother. The elderly will get sick when they are old. It's time for their children to be filial to the elderly."

Jiang Xi's mother burst into tears even harder. She looked at me and said, "Good child, I finally understand why Jiang Xi insisted on choosing you. I don't regret marrying Jiang Xi. I have to have a good person. Don't be too careless. Jiang Xi is pregnant. Too sad will hurt the child. God has long been destined for human life! People are born in dust and return to dust in the future. Everything is floating clouds. We are just passers-by in this world. Everyone has to leave. I have lived so old and I am still worthy of being able to hurt my liver and lungs."

I don’t know if human life is weak, we can always understand life more deeply and thoroughly, but what Jiang Xi’s mother said made Jiang Xixin and I frightened, as if she was explaining her funeral.

I felt sad and didn't say anything, Jiang Xi kept crying silently.

Jiang Xi's mother said again, "If you want to say what regrets do I have, I have not seen my grandson or granddaughter yet? I don't know if it's a boy or a girl? Boys, girls are all good! I don't know what this little bastard looks like, like Jiang Xi or like Jiangdong?"

"Mom, take a good rest. Listen to the doctor, you will definitely see my child born, and you will definitely hear her call you grandma!"

"Well! Let's leave it to fate!" After Jiang Xi's mother said this, she closed her eyes so tired.
