"Doctor, is Sister Wu feeling better?" As soon as the doctor came out, Sister Liu rushed forward and asked first.Yang Xi pursed her lips and looked at Sister Liu's busy back, knowing that Sister Liu was a good person.

"Temporarily out of danger, but long-term treatment will be needed in the future." The eyes on the doctor's blue mask were calm and lifeless.

"That's good, that's good..." Sister Liu murmured as she turned around in place.

Yang Xi also felt that his hanging heart dropped by half in an instant, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"If the family members agree, we will use volume expansion and vasodilator treatment, which can improve cerebral blood circulation, increase cerebral blood flow, and promote the establishment of collateral circulation in order to reduce the size of the infarction."

"That would be great," Sister Liu nodded repeatedly, and looked at Yang Xi, "Does your grandma have any other relatives? I heard she said that she has a daughter..."

"Yes, my aunt, she is in Guangzhou." Because I haven't seen her for so many years, and my aunts and uncles rarely come back to see grandma during the holidays, so Yang Xi's impression of them has been blurred.She only remembered that her aunt was working in Guangzhou and was very short, that's all.

"The cost of this rescue is [-], here is the receipt, please pay it in time." The doctor handed out a receipt.

"What?" When Yang Xi heard such a large number, Si's limbs felt cold again.

Sister Liu looked at Yang Xi with some guilt, and said, "I couldn't get in touch with you, so I signed on my own initiative for them to rescue..."

"It's too late for me to thank you," Yang Xi quickly waved his hands, "If I were to let them rescue me."

Sister Liu looked at the thin girl with sunken cheeks and pale face in front of her, feeling a little sad.She knew that Wu Guiying's family lived in poverty, so the high cost of surgery would be such a burden.

Sister Liu patted Yang Xi's hand affectionately, and said softly, "Xi, let me put the mat on for you first."

"I'm going to call my aunt." Yang Xi smiled palely, pulled out his hand, and took out his cell phone.My aunt is grandma's own daughter, so of course she should lend a helping hand.Usually, you can't even come to accompany the old man to show a good face. If you don't even hum at a critical moment, it would be too unfilial.

Long-distance is expensive, but what is the solution?After a long ringtone, someone finally answered the call.Aunt's sharp and sexy voice rang in Yang Xi's ears, making Yang Xi feel very uncomfortable.

"Who is it?" Auntie's voice seemed cheerful.

"Hello, aunt, I'm Yang Xi." Yang Xi replied calmly.

Aunt's voice suddenly dimmed, and became impatient, which made Yang Xi very embarrassed and annoyed.

"What are you doing?"

"Grandma's first aid for cerebral thrombosis requires an operation fee of [-] yuan."

The voice on the other end of the phone immediately became very disgusted, as if Yang Xi was not her niece but a beggar: "Oh, then I don't have that much money."

"If I have that much, I will pay, okay? You are grandma's daughter, shouldn't you pay for the surgery?"

"Hmph, isn't that old man's pension not enough?"

As soon as she heard her aunt contemptuously refer to grandma as an "old thing", Yang Xi became angry and shouted to the phone in a hoarse voice, "Is she your real mother! How much is her pension?" Don't you know?" Yang Xi's voice suddenly became louder, causing everyone in the hospital to look in Yang Xi's direction.Grandma has worked in a printing factory all her life, and her monthly pension is only about [-] yuan. In addition, the money from Yangxi's part-time job is barely enough for the rent of the house and living expenses.not enough?It doesn't take a single point, okay!

Yang Xi felt that the irrepressible anger was burning in his heart all the time.

"Okay, okay," my aunt also felt that she was wronged, so she slowed down her tone a little, but she was still very firm, "I can only pay half of it, if you pay more, you can't do it."

"Pay half?" Yang Xi felt his forehead was going to explode.

"Your family has to pay half of it, and she's not just my daughter." The aunt's tone was so sour that she could be a plum.

"My mother is dead, okay? You still don't let her go?"

"Then it's none of my business. Eleven thousand and five, I won't give you any more points." Every word beat Yang Xi's heart.

"Okay, eleven thousand and five, and it will be transferred to grandma's card."

"Okay." After that, without even saying goodbye, she hung up the phone roughly, leaving Yang Xi where she was, her hands shaking while holding the phone.

Sister Liu watched the whole process in silence, with a very bad expression on her face, watching Yang Xi's every move carefully.

Yang Xi remained calm, and hung up the phone coldly.She took a deep breath.

She couldn't figure out why someone as good as grandma would raise such a daughter who was not as good as a beast.She hated her aunt on the other end of the phone, despised her, and wished she would never come to see grandma in the future.

Eleven thousand and five is eleven thousand and five, at least it's better than nothing, she choked her throat, propped her chest with one hand and sat down beside Sister Liu.The wall clock in the hospital lobby was ticking, it was already eleven o'clock at night, and even the neon lights outside the window were gradually going to rest.

Yang Xi held her head in pain, although there was still no tear in her eyes.

"Doctor, I'll help the two of them put it on the bed first." Sister Liu took out the slip without hesitation, and walked to the payment office.

Yang Xi felt really sorry, but there was nothing he could do.Tomorrow, after my aunt calls the [-], I can pay it back first, but the remaining [-]...

Yang Xi took a deep breath.She thought that she would continue to receive treatment intermittently in the future.She felt a little hopeless.It would take four months for her and grandma to pay off the more than 1 yuan without eating or drinking, not to mention future medical treatment.

She felt that her eyes were getting darker, and the future was like a cliff that frightened her.

"Okay, kid, you don't have to worry about money." Sister Liu came back and handed Yang Xi the invoice in her hand.Yang Xi took it carefully.

Yang Xi felt her nose sore, stood up and bowed deeply to Sister Liu: "Thank you very much. I will pay it back as soon as possible, and I will write you an IOU later."

"Excuse me, I know you won't be greedy for money. Sister Liu trusts you." Sister Liu quickly supported Yang Xi and patted her on the back with a smile.

Yang Xi smiled weakly: "You go home and rest, I really trouble you today."

"Be careful on the road too." Sister Liu nodded, looked at Yang Xi complicatedly for a while, and walked out of the hospital quickly.

Yang Xi walked on the dark path home in a daze, holding the receipts and invoices tightly in his hands.

Although there were dim and dilapidated lights on the side of the street, she still felt that it was terribly dark.There is still school tomorrow, but she is not in a hurry to go home and rest.She's used to going to bed at twelve, so that's okay.

She thought about it on the way.She didn't save much money in her salary card, and there was only more than 1000 for the preparation of social practice activities.However, the more than 1000 yuan was saved by her various careful calculations and frugality.She decided not to go to the social practice activities, anyway, she had enough credits.

She urgently needs to find a job with a higher salary, otherwise, she will definitely not be able to live in the future.She is not tall, she cannot be a model, and she has no professional singing training, so she cannot be a singer.She loves to sing very much, and the music teacher once praised her timbre, but... She looked at the dark end of the distance, and the water of Luoxi was winding and flowing, shining a faint light in the darkness.

Anyway, tomorrow is another day, and the road is tough, but keep going.
