Chapter 295: Contribute Money and Effort

Shen Lao Er was silent for a moment. "How about this, I'll go to the machinery factory to find Lao Si. He must know about what happened to Mom. I'll also see how much money he can come up with."

"Whatever you can scrape together, that's good enough. We'll figure out the rest later. If that doesn't work, then go find the third brother and ask him to cover the rest first."

Boss Shen sighed, "This is the only way now."

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two brothers to come up with such a huge sum of money by themselves.

Mrs. Shen, who was standing by, said, "Why don't we call now? We can't delay this matter any longer. It will take quite some time to transfer the money from the third brother's place. We should make plans early."

"There are three of us now. I'll stay here to look after Mom. One of you goes to the machinery factory to get the fourth brother to come over, and the other goes to call the third brother to talk about the money."

"Okay, big brother, you go find the fourth brother, I'll make the call." Shen Laoer nodded.

"it is good."

By the time Shen Xiaoshan finally walked from Qingshan Brigade to the county town on foot, asking for directions along the way, when he arrived at the county hospital, Shen Lao Da and Shen Lao Er had already left.

He only saw the person who had been guarding the old lady.

Shen Xiaoshan paused and walked into the ward with the prepared steamed buns and flatbreads.

"Mom, how's the milk?"

When Mrs. Shen heard the familiar voice, she looked up suddenly, her eyes lit up instantly, and she stood up and ran forward, "Xiaoshan, why are you here? Are you tired after walking such a long way?"

"Look, you're sweating. Come, sit down and take a rest. Mommy will wipe your sweat off."

At the critical moment, her son is still useful. Look, her son must be worried about her, so he came all the way here.

Unlike my daughter, who only knows how to spend the family's money on studying. I only see her a few times a month, and every time she comes back, she asks for money all the time. It's so annoying.

Shen Xiaoshan took out the flatbread and steamed bread from the cloth bag.

"Mom, this is the food rations Second Aunt and the others made for you. They said they were worried that you wouldn't have enough food coupons with you and wouldn't be able to eat at the state-owned restaurant."

Mrs. Shen looked at the dry rations and couldn't help swallowing. She reached out and grabbed a steamed bun and a flatbread, "Let mother eat a few bites first. She's almost starving to death."

While she was speaking incoherently, she ate the steamed buns and flatbreads in big mouthfuls, wolfing them down as if she hadn't eaten for days.

Shen Xiaoshan glanced at her, silently put away the remaining rations, and then looked at the old lady lying on the bed, who had been unconscious.

The old lady's face was still pale, her lips were pale, her cheeks were sunken, and she was skinny and lying motionless on the small bed in the hospital.

He had never seen his grandmother like this before. Ever since he could remember, his grandmother had always been the most troublesome person in their Shen family, even more troublesome than his mother.

But she is also the most reassuring person in the Shen family. It seems that as long as the old lady is at home, they don’t have to worry about anything.

Now he is suddenly lying in a hospital bed in a serious condition, and the house seems to have become deserted.

After Mrs. Shen finished eating, Shen Xiaoshan continued to ask, "Mom, what did the doctor say? How is my grandma?"

"Well, what else can I say? Your grandma suddenly had this problem. The doctor said that it is unlikely to be cured. At best, it can only delay the condition from getting worse."

"At present, I need to stay in the hospital for at least two or three months, and I need to take good medicine every day. Over these two or three months, it will cost at least more than 150 yuan."

"Tell me, how did we make so much money after working in the fields all our lives?" Mrs. Shen patted her thigh, her face full of worry.

Shen Xiaoshan also fell silent.

He thought that this time the money would be quite a lot, but he never expected it to be so much, and there was no guarantee that he could be saved.

"Fortunately, we have your third uncle and aunt at home, and they both have jobs. Now I just hope that your second uncle can get through to your third uncle on the phone."

As Mrs. Shen spoke, she felt confused and sour inside.

I always feel that my life is miserable. I have spent all the private money I have saved for more than ten years, but it is still far from enough.

Shen Xiaoshan glanced at the old lady lying on the hospital bed, who was unconscious.

The person must be saved, but I don’t know if his grandmother can wake up after spending such a huge sum of money.

the other side.

Shen Laoer found a post office and waited in line for a long time before it was his turn to make a phone call.

After calling, the line was transferred several times and I waited for about ten to twenty minutes before I was successfully connected to the military academy where Shen Jingming was.

"Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Deputy Commander Shen Jingming. I'm his second brother. He's at..."

On the other side, not long after Shen Jingming finished class, he received a call from home. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly strode over.

Come to think of it, during all the years he's been in the army, his family has never called him, they've always sent him letters.

If the call really came suddenly, then something big must have happened at home.

After some busy work, Shen Laoer finally waited for the person on the other end to answer the phone.

"Hey, Jingming, Mom's in trouble and needs some money. We don't have that much money at home. Can you send some money over?"

Listening to the words coming from the other end of the phone, Shen Jingming frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious. "What happened to Mom? How much money does it cost? What's the current situation?"

Although the old lady is old, she has always been in good health. How could something like this happen to her suddenly?

Shen Lao Er shook his head. "Mom suddenly fell into a coma and never woke up again. After we sent her to the hospital, the doctor said that if she wanted treatment, she would have to stay in the hospital for at least two or three months for observation."

"The medicines used during this period were not cheap, and there were also various treatment costs. All in all, it was at least over 150 yuan."

"You know our family situation. How can we come up with so much money?"

"My brother and I really have no other choice, so we called you."

Shen Jingming's expression became more and more solemn. With so much money, it seemed that the old lady's condition was indeed serious.

"Second brother, you guys calculate how much you still need. I'll make up for the difference first."

His monthly salary is just over 100 yuan, and he has saved quite a bit of money over the years, but he doesn't plan to spend it all.

Over the years, he has sent a lot of money back home, which is quite a lot. It is impossible that there is nothing left at home.

Especially considering his mother's personality, it is estimated that her family has some financial resources.

Shen Lao Er quickly calculated in his mind that it was definitely impossible for the third brother to pay all the money alone, but as a rich man, he would definitely pay the biggest share.

People like the eldest brother and the fourth brother don’t have much money, so even if they empty their pockets, they can’t give much.

There is also money in the house, and only the old lady knows how much money there is.

"Jingming, how about this? You send back 80 yuan. If the rest is not enough, my brother and I will find a way. If it is more, we will keep the extra for your wife."
