Lookout Men and Widows

Chapter 17

The wind blew in through the half-open window of the hospital ward, and it chilled Papa You's heart.

Elderly Grandpa You sat by the bed and said lovingly, "Hua Qiang, I heard from Xiao Ming that I asked about your illness. The operation fee is [-] to [-], plus your follow-up care. It’s only about [-] to [-] yuan, your family has enough money, you need to be treated for this disease, and your elder brother and sister-in-law’s should also be treated.”

You Ming was peeling an apple next to him. He had never peeled the apple before. The peel and the pulp were peeled together, and a pitted and ugly apple was peeled. There was no pulp. He whispered: "Grandpa, I told you before that the factory is now The profit is not good, it has been a loss for a few months, and the family has no liquidity. My father’s illness has been reported by the hospital. I don’t know if there are other complications. In addition, my father is ill and the factory is unattended, so business can’t be negotiated. Now the family can use less than 100 million yuan."

"The employees have to be paid wages, and the machines have to be maintained and replaced." You Ming sighed, "If we want to treat uncles and others, our family has to sell cars and houses."

Grandpa You kept his mouth shut. He had heard from Father You that the factory had been losing money a long time ago. Now that You Ming brought it up, he didn't think he was lying to him.

It was about these few seconds of silence that slowly restored Papa You's cold heart to its original temperature.

Grandpa You: "How about this, you sell the car first, human life is more important than these things."

You Ming was glad that Mother You didn't come, otherwise he would definitely be angry again right now.

"Grandpa, uncle and his family also have a house, a car, and a son." You Ming said, "We can't be the only one selling the house, right?"

Grandpa You glanced at You Ming. He didn't know why, but he was a bit annoying to his grandson. Obviously You Ming never spoke loudly, and he had enough respect for them old people, but Grandpa You just felt annoying.

"Your cousin is in his hometown, and his wife wants to divorce him." Grandpa You said, "Your cousin's name is written on the house."

You Ming smiled and said, "That's easy too. Sell the house, and the money will be halved, and the money for uncle's medical treatment will come out."

Grandpa You was at a loss for words. What they expected was to ask Papa You to hand over the money. After You Cheng got divorced, Papa You would get another sum of money to buy You Cheng a new house in the provincial capital. How could prefecture-level cities compare? Go to the provincial capital?Young people are sharpening their heads and want to go to the provincial capital. When You Cheng buys a house and establishes a foothold in the provincial capital, it will be easier to accept Father You's factory.

"Xiao Ming, you are still too young." Grandpa You changed his tone, and said in a tone of lecturing his grandson, "Your big brother is different from you. He doesn't have a house in the provincial capital. What will happen if he gets married again? We are all one family." People, don't be so fussy, so as not to hurt the friendship and affection, you treat your uncle's family better now, and your big brother will treat you better in the future."

Papa You stared out of the window in a daze. A bird of unknown species landed on the top of a tree. He tilted his head and looked at Papa You too.

It seemed like a bird was laughing at him.

It is obvious that he has worked harder and achieved more than all the brothers in the family.

Obviously, he is more willing to spend money on his parents than all the brothers in the family.

But no matter how much you pay, no one will see it except your wife and son.

They took him for a fool, never thought that he also had flesh and blood, and he would also suffer.

Papa You looked numb as he watched the bird flap its wings and fly away, dropping a lump of bird droppings from the sky.

You Ming handed the apple to Papa You, and Papa You fruited the apple. His heavy heart was comforted by this dog-like apple, and he finally smiled.

Grandpa You looked at Father You, his old and cloudy eyes could not see a trace of family affection, only cold calculations, but he still had to pretend to be a loving father, and persuaded: "Huaqiang, we are a family, we are a family. With the same blood, don’t divide yours and mine so clearly, our things, in the end, aren’t our children’s?”

Papa You glanced at Grandpa You, and he pulled up the quilt to cover himself: "Don't talk about money, I want to rest."

Seeing Father You's evasive attitude, Grandpa You quickly said, "Anyway, it's been discussed, you can rest, let Xiao Ming handle the car sale."

Papa You looked at his father, this tall man in his mind, he didn't know when his back was bent, his waist was bent, and the wrinkles on his face became extremely mean, he couldn't hide his excitement and asked : "Dad! I had an operation, and my business and life will be affected in the future. Xiaoming's health is better, so much money is needed. Why can't you think about it for me?"

"The house and car I bought for Xiaocheng are enough for my elder brother and others to treat and recuperate. Why do I have to pay for my elder brother's money? Sell my car? Xiaocheng's car is more expensive than mine? I can't sell it. ?”

Grandpa You stared: "The more you talk, the more outrageous you become. As an adult, you still plan to ask your child to pay for it?"

Papa You panted heavily, his eyes flushed: "Nurse! Nurse! I want to rest! Get people out!"

After all, it is an expensive private hospital, the wards are separate, and the care is meticulous. The nurse outside the door came to invite someone after hearing it.

Grandpa You obviously didn't want to leave. He still wanted to talk, but You Ming hugged his shoulders.

He was an old man, whose strength couldn't compare to that of You Ming, who was young and in good health, so he was dragged out of the ward just like that, half-embraced and half-embraced.

What's more, Grandpa You is an old-fashioned patriarch with a good face. If it were Grandma You, she probably wouldn't leave the ward even if she was in trouble.

"Xiao Ming, you know how to sell cars, right? You can't just ignore your uncle." Grandpa You held You Ming's hand tightly, his hand was thin and rough, like a skeleton.

You Ming asked him: "Grandpa, is uncle filial to you?"

Grandpa You smiled: "Your uncle is filial!"

You Ming asked again: "How much alimony is given to you and grandma every month?"

Grandpa You was taken aback for a moment, and his smile faded: "Family affection cannot be calculated with money. Your uncle is not as rich as your family."

You Ming: "You also said that it is my family. My family and uncle's family are two families."

"Grandpa, if you don't care about this matter, the amount of alimony we get for you and grandma will still be the same as before, [-] a month, and you can spend it as you like. If you continue to take care of it, we will pay you every month." You take five thousand." You Ming said, "Don't feel that five thousand is less, it is calculated according to the local consumption level."

"Even if it's going to a lawsuit, it won't be more than this."

You Ming smiled, with a hint of coldness in his smile.

Grandpa You: "Your father is my own son! You are my own grandson! Is what you are talking about human?!"

You Ming was expressionless and cold: "If being a beast in your eyes is not as fun as being a human being in your eyes, then I think it's better to be a beast in your eyes."

"You go slowly, I won't see you off, I still have to take care of my dad." You Ming stood at the gate of the hospital, "I'll call the car for you, and I'll leave after I get you in the car."

Grandpa You wants to get angry, but there are people coming and going here, so he can only hold back: "Xiao Ming, you are not in good health, and you still have to rely on your big brother in the future, you have to know how to advance and retreat!"

You Ming: "I know, you don't need to worry, I discussed it with my parents. If I survive, I will help take care of the family affairs. If I can't survive, all the money will be donated to charity after my parents leave. Organization, besides, the factory has been losing money now, maybe I have to go to work to earn money to subsidize the family in the future."

When You Ming sent Grandpa You to the car, he stared at Grandpa You with a pair of brown eyes, and said in a gentle and menacing voice: "Grandpa, don't do everything. If the bamboo basket is empty, don't be embarrassed by everyone." You are old, enjoy your old age, and leave the affairs of your children to your children."

"You accuse my dad of having no conscience, and when he really becomes no conscience, you will know what you are doing now."

You Ming said to the driver, "Master, let's go."

The driver didn't know what the young man was saying to the old man, so he set off after You Ming closed the car door.

Grandpa You complained to the driver in the car: "My eldest son earns so much money and is still so stingy, you say, what's the use of raising him for old age?"

The driver was a young man, he couldn't understand Grandpa You's concept, he shrugged and said, "It's not that they don't give you a pension, you, contented and happy, why bother so much, parents can't handle it clearly, children are enemies Not a lot."

"Look at the news. The old man has seven or eight children. When he gets old, he will be kicked around like a football by his children. You are much better than that."

Grandpa You: "That's because the parents didn't teach well!"

The young man shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with him.

You Ming stood at the entrance of the hospital, watching the car leave. He had no feelings for relatives other than his parents, no hatred, no love, he just felt bored.

He took out his mobile phone, and Jiang Yu'an sent him a text message, which was their contact method outside.

It would be too weird if the voice was played like before.

[Jiang Yu'an: Why? 】

You Ming replied to him: [What why? 】

[Jiang Yu'an: You have no intention of killing. 】

You Ming pursed his lips: 【There are so many best products in the world, if you see one, you want to kill one, and you will die of exhaustion. 】

Jiang Yu'an didn't reply.

You Ming really wanted to know what happened to Jiang Yu'an. Jiang Yu'an had a good background and a smooth life. He is a child of someone else's family. Why is his personality completely different from what others say?

You Ming returned to the ward and looked at Papa You who was in a daze: "Dad, have you figured it out yet?"

Papa You nodded, expressionless, and said numbly, "Let's go about our lives, I don't want to think about anything."

"From now on, it's just me, your mother, and you. We're a family." Father You closed his eyes, "Others, let them do whatever they want. I'm too old, and I can't stand torment."

"Get me out of the hospital directly. Dad will take you for a while, and you will take over the factory later."

You Ming found that Papa You seemed to have aged instantly.

You Ming nodded and assured: "Dad, I will let you and Mom live a good life, a life where you don't have to worry about anything."
