Back to Twelve

27. Consultation

The old lady patted the bed, Come here, I'll be waiting for you.

Mencius came over suspiciously and sat by the bed with his mother and Meng Qingqing, while Meng Zijian and Meng Ziming sat on the chairs beside the lathe.

The old lady said: It's rare for everyone to get together today, so I'll just talk about two things. Just now, I went to the doctor, and the doctor said that the second child's illness can't be delayed any longer. The best way at present is a kidney transplant, and a kidney transplant , There are two problems, one is the money problem, the other is the kidney problem.”

The old lady paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and then said: Let's talk about the money first. At the beginning, the second child alone shouldered the burden of the whole family and confessed you. Now that the second child is in trouble, how much money can you give? help him?

Everyone was silent after hearing this.

The old lady reminded, The operation on the second child costs 600,000 yuan. How much money can each of you give as much as you can?

Mencius said: The second child has also made some money these years, so he should be able to pay for the operation.

The old lady raised her voice, The money he earned can be used for surgery, but what about after the surgery? For almost a year, he has to take medicine every day and ensure nutrition. All these need money, and he can't work. How can that amount of money be enough? Besides, even if he is rich, you, as brothers and sisters, should show something when he encounters such a big event at this time! It’s not just a few words to comfort his illness It will be fine, and the real concern is to actually pay for it.”

Mencius said: We should take out a little bit, but everyone is in a difficult situation. We only get such a small salary every month, food and drink, and children's education, and we owe debts to buy a house...

The old lady interrupted him, Don't complain to me, no matter how difficult it is for you, but each of you is in good health, the money is gone, and you can earn money in the future, but the second child uses the money to save his life.

Everyone was silent.

Why don't you talk? Am I wrong? Isn't it right to ask you to help the second child? Back then, he helped you so much, didn't he suffer? But he didn't complain.

Meng Zimei: Should be, we should take out a little money to help the second brother, but how much? Too little can't help much, too much and we can't take it out.

Okay! Let me say a number. Each of you will get 30,000 to 50,000. Just like what the fourth child said, you can't handle it if it's too little, and you can't bear it if it's too much. You can bear the amount of 30,000 to 50,000. Together, it won’t drag you down.”

Mom, do you think we are opening a bank? Three to fifty thousand, I can't get it out. Mencius said dissatisfied.

This number is indeed too much, and we have our own difficulties. Meng Ziming also echoed.

Mencius was silent.

If you can't get it out, you still have to take it out. If you don't have it, you can borrow it. The thirty to fifty thousand yuan won't let you go bankrupt, but for the second child, it is life-saving money. Seeing the attitudes of these children, the old lady was also heartbroken. It's cold.

Although Meng Zijun didn't care about his siblings' money, as his daughter said, he wanted to see how these siblings behaved when he encountered difficulties.

It really is unpredictable! The human heart cannot withstand temptation, and once it is tempted, it reveals its true nature. He can't stand it anymore. At the beginning, he gave up the opportunity to go to university and went to the provincial capital to work alone. Except for a little food money, all the other monthly wages were sent to his brother and younger siblings. Day and night, on the surface, they asked about their health and care, and really asked them to give some money, but they tried to evade it in every possible way. In their eyes, they were not as good as the money.

Meng Zijun said coldly: Mom, it turns out that you asked them to come to talk about these things. I don't care about the money. Back then, I made money to support their education. I did it willingly. I never thought that one day I would use this for money. Forcing them to take money, as long as they live well now, is the greatest reward for me, so let them give me the money and don't talk about it anymore.

Mencius said beautifully: Second brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my ability is limited...

The old lady interrupted her, Don't talk about those useless reasons. If you express your opinion to me today, I just want a word. How much can you pay? One yuan or two yuan?

Three brothers and sisters, you look at me, and I look at you. Neither spoke.

Boss, you read the most books, and you are an older one. Let me ask you first, how much can you help my second brother at most?

Meng Zijian thought for a while, and finally said, Mom, the most I can pay is a thousand dollars!

A thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket for 600,000. This is far from the old lady's estimate, but the money is in someone's pocket and they are unwilling to take it out. What can you do?

Third, what about you? How much can you pay? the old lady asked.

I'll offer a thousand dollars too! Meng Ziming said with his head down.

Fourth, what about you? According to the people in our village, you are a girl and you don't need to go to so much school, but your second brother insisted on letting her study. He paid for you from junior high school until you graduated from university. Now that he is in trouble, in great trouble, how much can you help him?

Meng Zimei gritted her teeth, Let me pay 1,500 yuan! This is my salary for two months. My salary is not as high as that of my elder brother and third brother. They cost more than 1,000 yuan a month, while I only have 800 yuan a month.

Meng Qingqing sneered in her heart. At the beginning, her father did everything he could to help them go to school, but now they are reluctant to help their father. The monthly salary is still under the persecution of their grandma. It's really not worth it for Dad to suffer and fall ill for them. Some brothers and sisters with such a cold relationship, selfish and indifferent, grandma and father, should see clearly now!

The old lady was also very disappointed.

Okay! Grasshoppers are also meat, so it's a little bit of your kindness. Within two days, you can bring the money. The old lady thought, if you can scrape together a little, that's all.

Then let's talk about another question. The old lady remembered Meng Qingqing's words, Grandma, uncle and uncle will definitely not be willing to donate a kidney to dad. The old lady thought that these children would do their best just like herself She went to save her brother, but from the performance just now, she realized that she knew them better than this twelve-year-old granddaughter.

So the old lady is not sure now, can these children donate kidneys for their brothers? Asking them to take out a little money is like cutting the flesh of their own body. Are they willing to really cut their own flesh?

But this matter still has to be said. She couldn't just watch her second son leave at such a young age.
