Chapter Six Am I Worth Five Thousand Dollars?

"My name is Jing Yuan." His voice was cold.

I didn't have time to care who he was, so I begged him with a trembling voice: "Save my grandpa!"

"Please save my grandpa!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and lifted my chin and rubbed it with his thumb.

The corner of his lips curled up: "Okay, I will answer whatever Shen Ci asks for."

He raised his hand and touched it gently in front of my eyes, and I felt an unprecedented sleepiness coming over me...

I seemed to have had a dream, very long.

I dreamed that when I was born, my dad went to the temple and smashed the statue of the god in order to steal the small yellow croakers under the statue.

The snake temple collapsed and he was killed.

A group of snakes surrounded me as an infant, spitting out scarlet letters.

Immediately afterwards, my grandfather knelt down and dug out the statue from the ruins...

There was an ancient silver bead hidden in the statue, and I stuffed it into my mouth after I got home.

I also dreamed that my grandfather was hacked to death with a hoe by the second laizi’s family.

"grandfather!"

With a scream, I woke up suddenly.

It took me a while to realize that I was at home.

I quickly ran to the front yard to find my grandfather. He had rag strips wrapped around his legs and was lying on the kang with his eyes closed tightly.

Widow Xu was crying there, pretending to be sincere, while my grandma was sitting on the edge of the kang, sucking on her cigarette pipe.

"Damn girl, do you still have the nerve to come?"

When my grandma saw me, she took the pipe rod and hit me hard on the back.

Ignoring the pain, I held my father's hand and called him.

But he couldn't hear it at all.

My eyes were sore: "Why don't you send my father to the hospital?"

"If it weren't for you, would you be able to harm your father like this?"

"Damn it, the bad guy's family gave you five thousand yuan!"

“Our family won’t be able to make this kind of money in a few years!”

The more she scolded me, the worse she got, and the spankings became even harsher.

"Did you bury me alive for five thousand yuan?" I yelled.

Full of grievances filled his chest, and he shouted: "Will you marry me to a dead man?"

"Ahem..."

Grandpa suddenly coughed twice, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

I was frightened and wiped quickly: "Grandpa, how are you?"

He held my hand with his rough hand and moved his lips, as if he had something to say.

My grandma pushed me aside with a slap and came close to me: "Old man, do you still have money? Where do you put it?"

Widow Xu's eyes also lit up. She heard that she had money, so she also joined in.

It turns out that they were guarding my grandfather because they were afraid that if he died, he would not be able to get the money!

"Get out of the way, I want to take my father to the hospital!"

I pulled them away and hugged my father without letting go.

Fortunately, the village chief happened to come to my house. Seeing this, he called several young people in the village to help me take my grandfather to the county hospital.

Grandpa was seriously injured and needed surgery.

I took out all the money, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

A few days passed, but grandpa could only take medicine in the ward and could not operate. I was really worried.

As for the whole family, I was the only one keeping watch, and no one came.

I also know that no one can save grandpa except me now.

The nurse urged me to pay the fee, but I could only sit in the corridor, anxious.

"Girl, are you short of money?"

The speaker was an old lady with wrinkles on her face and a smile on her face.

I wiped away my tears, sobbed and nodded.

"Auntie, I'll introduce you to a job. I'm sure you can earn your medical expenses tonight."

I looked at her warily, fearing that I would be deceived.

But the old lady said: "Don't worry, it's not that kind of dirty money."

I bit my lip: "How to make money?"

As long as I don't betray myself, I can do anything you want!

"I know Old Shen, you are his granddaughter, right? Can you make paper figures?"

My expression changed and I looked at her alertly, but she smiled and said, "I have a nephew who raises some rabbits."

"I don't know what happened in the past two days. The rabbits died one after another. His wife almost lost the money."

"A great immortal has figured it out, tied it with paper, and sent it to burn the paper and it will be cured!"

As she spoke, she stretched out two fingers and shook them: "Twenty thousand yuan, how about it?"

Twenty thousand!

My grandfather would probably sell a cart full of paper figurines for less than 20,000 yuan.

Although it is not enough for medical expenses, it can at least save grandpa from suffering.
