Rebirth at the starting point of happiness
Chapter 23 Choice
Xu Feng tried hard to suppress his excitement, and held Su Qiuyue's hand tightly with his backhand, fearing that this hope was not real.
"Qiuyue? Can you help me?"
"I can." Su Qiuyue let her pull her and nodded vigorously.
"If you want to save me, I can help you. I have money." Su Qiuyue emphasized again.
Xu Feng stood up from the kang, walked back and forth on the ground twice, stomped his feet and walked to Su Qiuyue, looked at her seriously and said:
"Qiuyue, I'll write you an IOU. I will definitely pay you back."
Su Qiuyue nodded. She didn't really want her to express her opinion or beg her for help. It was just that the lessons from her previous life taught her that she could be a good person and do good things, but she couldn't let people take it for granted.
Xu Feng solemnly wrote an IOU to Su Qiuyue, for one thousand yuan at once.
Originally, the price was 500 yuan. Su Xinyue went to the city to get the surgery and only spent 500 yuan. Xu Feng wanted to take her mother with her to have a look.
Her mother's health has been unsatisfactory recently. The Chinese medicine doctor said that there was something wrong with her mother's spleen and stomach, and asked them to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Xu Feng thought that since they were going to the city anyway, they might as well check it out together. If there was no problem, that would be even better. If there was a problem, they should get it treated as soon as possible.
She has borrowed the money, so she will try her best to pay it back in the future. If one year doesn't work, then ten years. If ten years don't work, then twenty years. As long as she is willing to work hard, she will be able to pay it back.
After finishing writing, he solemnly pressed his fingerprints before getting up and going home.
During this period of contact, I found that my elder sister is a decisive person. Once she makes up her mind, she will do it.
Xu Feng really did as she expected. She started looking for her household registration book when she got home. When her cousin asked her what she was doing, she said she was taking her mother and sister to get medical treatment.
My cousin disagreed, and the father and daughter had another big fight. What was heartbreaking was that my grandmother and cousin never showed up.
In the end, it was not known whether the cousin had come to his senses or was unable to persuade Xu Feng, and he allowed her to take the household registration booklet to find the team leader.
Xu Feng was very efficient and took his eldest brother directly to the team leader's house to get a letter of introduction.
When I got home, it was as if I didn't see my cousin sitting on the edge of the kang with his head down.
Arrange the second sister to take care of the home and the children.
As for the people in the west room, they had nothing to do with her.
Early the next morning, the cousin told Su Qiuyue that she was going to the city hospital.
Su Qiuyue tied up the money she had prepared long ago and gave it to her cousin.
The two men sewed the money separately on the legs of her cotton trousers, around her belly inside her long johns, and near her armpits on her cotton jacket.
There was also some change left with my eldest cousin.
"Xu Hua, let her live with you first. I hit her because I was anxious that day. It's not her fault.
She didn't know that things would be so serious. I saw that she was regretting and scared, which was quite pitiful.
I’m afraid that when she goes home, those people at home will give her a cold shoulder.” Xu Hua said helplessly.
At that time, I told her to go out and play and not to make a noise. I didn't say the consequences would be so serious. If Xu Hua had known the consequences would be like this, she would definitely not have made such a big fuss. The child's face was swollen from her beating, and she didn't dare to look up when she saw her.
"Okay, don't worry, big sister. You must be careful when you go out.
Don't tire yourself out. Third cousin is a man, use him as much as you can." Su Qiuyue said.
“If the money is not enough, call the brigade and tell me, and I will transfer it to you.
In fact, it's a good thing that you use the money, so that those who miss me won't miss me anymore. "Su Qiuyue said with a smile, not wanting to burden her so much, and she was telling the truth.
Xu Feng didn't say anything, but just squeezed her hand hard.
Then he got on the team's bus and left with his sister and mother.
When Su Qiuyue returned, he saw his cousin standing on the side of his house.
His head was a little low, and his back was a little bent.
Su Qiuyue didn't know what to say. On one side were her wife and children, on the other side were the instructions of her deceased eldest brother, and her biological mother was also in between.
He can only choose one side, and no matter what he chooses, the other side will complain.
While my younger sister is recuperating at home, the two of them are studying at home. When Xu Hua gets home from school, the two children can play together.
Two days later, the cousin brought Xu Hua's food rations at night. At that time, both children were asleep.
"Qiuyue, your cousin said he took care of you, but now I have to thank you." Your cousin was sitting on a stool. He didn't smoke, but Su Qiuyue could also feel his sadness.
"What are you thanking me for? If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be able to help, right?" Su Qiuyue said pretending to be indifferent.
“Okay, I’ll leave Xu Hua here with you, your cousin has it all in mind.
You go to sleep." Then he left.
Su Qiuyue didn't sleep well that night and thought a lot.
No one wants this kind of situation to happen, forcing you to make the most difficult choice.
The problem with my cousin is that his mother is still alive, but his eldest brother is gone, leaving behind two nephews.
Nowadays, those who can become soldiers are all good men. If he delays, many people will stab him in the back.
But the lives of my wife and children are also urgent.
When you encounter this kind of situation, you have to face it. No matter what choice you make, life must go on.
What Su Qiuyue needs to do is to accumulate wealth step by step and not have such a choice.
It started snowing on the day my cousin and her family left. It was a light snow at first, but it continued to snow for two days, and today it was snowing heavily like goose feathers.
It fell in large flakes. Fortunately, the wind was not very strong, otherwise it would have been several degrees colder.
Su Qiuyue kept her home warm. Although the doctor had left when her fourth cousin had the accident that day, he came to her house the next day, examined her sister, and prescribed some medicine.
Besides being a little weak from blood loss during surgery and needing to replenish your energy, you also have a cold left over from falling into the water. You should recover from this at this young age, and avoid having all kinds of minor ailments when you grow older.
She boiled medicine for her sister in a clay pot on the stove in the west room, and chicken soup was boiled on the small stove in their room.
When the weather gets cold, you can make chicken soup that can be eaten for several days.
Just put some vegetables in it or cook some noodles.
"Is Su Qiuyue at home?"
She was just thinking about what to eat today when she heard someone calling her.
I hurried out to see, and saw the team leader standing outside the gate and shouted when he saw her come out.
"Your elder sister Xu Feng called. Hurry up and go to the brigade headquarters!"
After Su Qiuyue said "OK", he left.
Su Qiuyue hurried into the house and told her two sisters that they were going out because the school was closed due to heavy snow, and Xu Hua would also be at home today.
After waiting for a while at the brigade headquarters, my cousin also came over.
"Ding!"
The phone suddenly rang, startling Su Qiuyue, and she hurried over to answer it.
The person who called was my eldest cousin. They went to the hospital and told her about my sister's condition.
The city hospital rushed her to the emergency room for treatment. My cousin's mother-in-law also collapsed to the ground due to stomach pain and nervousness and couldn't get up, so she was also sent directly for examination.
So I didn’t call yesterday. The test results came out this morning and it showed that my cousin’s mother might have stomach cancer.
I'll have to do another check-up in the afternoon to see the specific situation.
Not only did my eldest cousin collapse after hearing this news, even my cousin who was listening nearby sat down on the ground.
The old branch secretary and the team leader hurried over to help him up, and also sighed.
It really is like when it rains it pours. This family has not been at peace for a while, one thing after another.
I originally took the child to see a doctor, but I didn’t expect that Carpenter Xu’s wife actually had cancer.
My cousin's mother has been arranged to be hospitalized. My cousin will call me again after the test results come out in two days.
"Sister, everything will be fine. Didn't we agree that if anything happens, you can call me." Su Qiuyue talked about the agreement she had made with her cousin.
My cousin on the other end understood what I said, said a few words and then hung up the phone.
After returning home, she originally wanted to have a meal with Xu Hua and go to her cousin's house, but she was worried about her sister being alone at home.
Although Dahuang is almost two months old and eats well at her home and has grown a lot, he is still not a half-grown puppy. He will bark when there is noise and bite strangers, but his voice is still childish and has no deterrent effect at all.
After dinner, Su Qiuyue took her two children and Dahuang to her cousin's house.
They had already finished their meal at my cousin's house, and when they arrived, they told them what their eldest cousin had said on the phone today.
"Ah! Mom! I want my mom!" Xu Hua understood and burst into tears.
She cried so miserably that her little cousin also cried in her second cousin's arms, and her second cousin also sat there and began to wipe her tears.
"Shut up! Didn't you tell me you have a terminal illness? Why are you crying? You're just mourning!"
Grandma Xu couldn't bear to hear them crying, so she knocked the ground hard with the cane in her hand and cursed loudly.
After she scolded the little ones, they didn’t dare to cry anymore and just shed tears silently.
"That's what it is. This is a big deal and you have to know about it." My cousin was sitting on the edge of the kang, cross-legged and speaking, his voice gradually becoming heavy.
We will have to wait a few days for the results, and no matter what the news is, the children at home must be prepared.
After her uncle finished speaking for a while, Su Qiuyue heard her second cousin Xu Chun whisper:
"Uncle, our notice has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him.
He also felt that it was indeed a bad thing for him to say this at this time, but what he said was also the truth.
"Uncle, don't think too much about it. Xu Chun'er just came to inform you. No, he didn't mean anything else."
My cousin Xu Dong hurried to explain, but his explanation was very dry.
The second cousin glared at them, hugged her younger brother and turned her face to the other side, not looking at them.
Xu Hua didn't care what the adults' expressions were, she couldn't tell.
"Dad, you have to take care of my mom!"
Before my cousin could say anything, Grandma Xu opened her mouth.
"You have no right to say that! Didn't you say that we would know the exact result in two days?!
Since she had to wait for the letter, the two boys already had the letter.
Then there has to be a first come, first served basis.”
Grandma Xu’s meaning was very clear. Between the life of her daughter-in-law and the future of her two eldest grandsons, she chose the latter.
"What do you mean?" Xu Hua didn't quite understand what grandma meant.
My cousin accepted it all in silence.
"What do you mean, cousin? Ah? Second sister? What do you mean?" Xu Hua didn't understand what her grandma meant, but she could understand her father's expression. At least it was not what she thought.
She anxiously asked people around her for confirmation, hoping someone could explain it to her.
"Big brother, second brother! Tell me, what do you mean?"
Xu Hua rushed to his eldest and second brothers and pulled their clothes to question them.
I don’t know if it’s because they were annoyed by Xu Hua’s pestering, but the two of them couldn’t break free from Xu Hua’s entanglement.
Xu Chun opened his mouth and said to his uncle:
"Uncle, if my aunt turns out to be fine in a few days, my brother and I will have our business delayed.
If the old lady finds out that something is not good, then, wouldn’t that be a waste of money?
That way we would lose both our money and our lives, and we would have no chance either.
This, this is not, not even more, even more…” He didn’t say the rest.
When he was pulled back by his eldest brother, he realized that his uncle, who had been lowering his head, had been looking up at him for who knows how long.
The expression on his face was very bad, and his eyes looked like he was looking at a stranger.
"My mom is not well. Can't she go to the hospital and get surgery like Xinyue?"
Xu Hua understood, but does that mean her mother’s illness cannot be treated?
Her words made the two cousins speechless for a moment. They opened their mouths but no word came out.
"What are you treating? It's only a matter of time before he gets a terminal illness!
Can you live to be a hundred years old if you cure it? !
Don't let your dreams interfere with your work! Besides, how much money would it cost? Even if I sold you all, it wouldn't be enough!"
Grandma Xu opened her mouth and said that she would never choose Xu Hua's mother no matter what.
"Milk?! Why are you like this?!"
Xu Hua couldn't understand why her grandmother could say such terrible words.
Grandma usually doesn't have any affection for them. She doesn't coax them like other grandmas, nor is she as kind as other grandmas.
It was common for them to be beaten and scolded at any time, and they would not even be given any delicious food.
People always ask how long she can live. She is old and doesn’t have many years left to enjoy herself.
Even so, their grandmother would always stand up for them when they were bullied.
But today grandma said such terrible things and didn't want her mother anymore.
"You think so too?"
The cousin asked as he looked at his nephew whom he had raised since childhood.
"Ask them what they are doing. I have the final say."
Grandma Xu opened her mouth to defend herself.
"Mom, I'll just ask them. I'll do whatever they choose."
My cousin is extremely stubborn.
No matter what Grandma Xu said, she had to listen to her two nephews.
"Uncle, we know that things are difficult for you right now, but, but... I think my grandma is right..."
The eldest brother Xu Dong stammered and didn't dare to look at his uncle's face.
The room suddenly fell silent, and my second cousin sat on the kang and burst into tears.
These days, the future of grandchildren and sons is more important than the life of daughter-in-law, and this seems to be tacitly acknowledged by everyone.
Xu Hua jumped up when he heard Xu Xinyue's explanation.
"You are such wolves! You are in my house, you can have everything first.
How has my mother treated you badly? I am about to lose my mother, and you still want to join the army!
You guys are such wolves! You bastards! I’m going to lose my mother!”
After shouting, he sat on the ground and cried loudly. The second cousin on the kang couldn't help it and started to sob, and the little cousin also started to howl in fear.
This time no one told them to shut up.
Su Qiuyue stood aside holding her sister and watching the situation in the room.
I feel sad and at a loss.
"Okay! Xu Dong, Xu Chun. Your uncle will take you away tomorrow.
I can honestly say that I have done my best for you two brothers over the years.
You are grown up now. Just work hard in the army. You won’t need your uncle to do anything for you in the future.
My uncle can't do anything.
We will be far away from each other and it will be inconvenient to contact each other. Just live your own life well. "
After saying this, my cousin stood up and went out, ignoring the two brothers' explanations and Grandma Xu's insults.
Xu Hua stayed at home at night.
Su Qiuyue and her sister lay on the kang at night, and Xinyue wanted to sleep in the same quilt with her sister.
Holding her sister's waist tightly, Su Qiuyue patted her shoulders and asked:
"What's the matter? Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Sister, do you think my cousin...is he a good person?" Su Xinyue didn't know what to say. After asking, she felt that she asked the wrong question, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
