It's a fact that she can't get the money, and it doesn't matter what the eldest sister said at home. The financial power is all in the hands of her brother-in-law.
She has no other choice.
It happened that her brother-in-law was at home, so Tang Niannian took the bus back with her eldest sister.
When we got downstairs, the eldest sister bought a box of strawberries and three kilograms of grapes from the fruit shop at the entrance of the community and handed them to Tang Niannian.
"I'll tell you in a moment that you bought it. Your brother-in-law likes to eat these."
Tang Niannian nodded: "Okay."
When going up the stairs, the eldest sister kept helping Tang Niannian.
Tang Niannian deceived the eldest sister and accidentally broke her ankle and hand. The eldest sister kept saying: "Be careful in the future and don't fall again. If our mother knows that you can't even take care of yourself, it will definitely be uncomfortable to death."
As the eldest sister spoke, some of her swallowed hard: "Sister, I know that I have wronged you by asking you to apologize to your brother-in-law. It's all because of my incompetence. You have to work hard in the future and make money to support yourself. You can't do this to your brother-in-law."
He's not a bad person, but he has a bad temper and doesn't say anything about it. If you talk to him properly, he'll be okay with it, and nothing will happen to him."
When we arrived at home, as soon as the brother-in-law opened the door, he looked at his eldest sister and said, "I'm starving to death. Hurry up and cook!"
Seeing Tang Niannian following behind, he ignored her and turned around to continue watching TV.
Tang Niannian took the fruit and walked to her brother-in-law: "I borrowed some money and paid the fees I owed for the past two days."
The brother-in-law said angrily: "Oh, you are so capable, no wonder you dare to scold me."
Tang Niannian whispered: "Brother-in-law, it's my fault for scolding you. I'm here to apologize today. Our mother is in the ICU now, waiting for life-saving money. You can't argue with me."
"What do I have to argue with you little girl? You will bear the rest of my mother's medical expenses. Is this what you said?"
"If I had listened to you and let our mother be discharged from the hospital that day, my mother might have died now! It was precisely because our mother was still in the hospital that she could be sent to the ICU to survive in the shortest time when the incident happened. Brother-in-law...
"
The brother-in-law interrupted: "What? Are you here to settle an old score with me? Is this your attitude of apologizing?"
The eldest sister hurried over to smooth things over, took the fruit from Tang Niannian's hand and put it on the table: "Look, Niannian knows that you like to eat strawberries and grapes, so I bought them specially for you. After all, she is my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Niannian is not sensible, you can do it
Brother-in-law, just be more generous."
The brother-in-law looked at the fruits on the table, sighed, and said seriously: "Nian Nian, brother-in-law is not really angry with you, brother-in-law is also in trouble, I just want you to know how important money is, how can a penny be a hero?
No matter what it feels like, my money doesn’t come from the rising tide of the sea.”
Tang Niannian followed her brother-in-law and said, "I know it has not been easy for you these past few years. Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law."
"Look, what you said still sounds like the right sentence." Brother-in-law was satisfied with Tang Niannian's current attitude and continued: "I'm not an unreasonable person. It was Wanwan's fault that our mother was admitted to the ICU this time.
, I have already called her and scolded her. Our family should pay for all the medical expenses for our mother this time, but you should share the previous medical expenses equally with me."
"Brother-in-law..."
"Don't say it yet. Listen to what I have to say. You see that you have a job now and are married. Do your husband and you also need to share our mother's medical expenses? This time, it is polite to make our mother angry in the ICU.
I am Wanwan's father and I will take care of Wanwan's affairs, but our mother's hospitalization before has nothing to do with Wanwan."
Before Tang Niannian could speak, the eldest sister couldn't listen anymore: "Old Li, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree that Niannian will move out and the house belongs to us, and our mother's treatment expenses will have nothing to do with Niannian. From now on, we
Let our mother take care of her until she retires. Now that Nian Nian has moved out and she doesn’t want the house from us, how can you still ask Nian Nian to make up for the previous money!"
"What do you know, you woman?" The brother-in-law glared at the eldest sister angrily: "I have inquired, it is possible for your mother to stay in the ICU for several months. Whether she can be discharged from the ICU or not is a matter of fact. Five days is enough for her.
Fifty thousand, 250,000 in ten days, 500,000 in 20 days, plus the cost of follow-up treatment and annual hospitalization, if our mother’s expenses this time exceed 600,000
, plus the previous 350,000 yuan and the subsequent treatment fees, the value of your house is simply not enough to cover it!"
Tang Niannian immediately became angry.
"You need money and a house. My mother treats you like her own son. My mother is in the ICU now and her life or death is uncertain. You have been calculating money! You need to touch your conscience and dig it out.
See if it’s red or black!”
The eldest sister took Tang Niannian's hand, trembling with excitement, and burst into tears: "Lao Li, since we want the house, we shouldn't let Niannian pay any more. Niannian has already moved out, you can't do it because
My mother went back on her word when her treatment fee was high. You are a man and you have to keep your word!"
"Okay, I've been crying and moaning all day, and I'm really annoyed." The brother-in-law glanced at the eldest sister and knew that he had no face to confront Tang Niannian.
"Nian Nian, don't blame your brother-in-law. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Although we are a family, you can't let your brother-in-law suffer. We should all be reasonable. I am not discussing this with you calmly.
Since we can't discuss it, let's wait until you are able to discuss this matter later. My brother-in-law's ability is really limited, and I don't know how long he can last. Tomorrow I will give my mother the money for the ICU. No matter what, I can't let my mother.
Something happened."
When Tang Niannian left, the eldest sister was still crying on the sofa. The brother-in-law felt that the eldest sister was annoying, so he went back to the room and closed the door.
In the room, my brother-in-law received a message.
【How is your sister-in-law doing? 】
The brother-in-law replied: [I said what I said, but Nian Nian didn’t give in and just got angry at me. Finally, I thought about it, I really can’t do it. After all, my mother-in-law is really good to me, and I watched Nian Nian grow up.
Yes, she didn’t know how she borrowed the fifty-five thousand today. I feel uncomfortable if she is forced to do anything else.】
[It’s really useless, don’t come to me again.]
After reading the message, the brother-in-law called and was hung up. He felt anxious and hurriedly changed his clothes. When he went to the living room and saw his eldest sister still crying, he impatiently said: "You should calm down and tidy up the house."
Tang Niannian injured her ankle and couldn't deliver takeout. She bought a pancake and fruit on the way and went back to eat it.
When he entered, Zuo Lingye was cutting cakes in the restaurant. He looked up and saw Tang Niannian. He put down the knife in his hand with an unhappy look on his face and asked, "Working overtime again?"
Tang Niannian saw the name of the store on the cake box at a glance. He limped forward and pointed at the cake without answering, "You ordered a cake from my store?"
"Um."
"I have an employee discount, which is 30% off. If you want to talk to me next time, tell me and I will order it for you."
Zuo Lingye said nothing and served a piece of the cut cake to Tang Niannian.
Does he want to eat cake?
He wanted to know if Tang Niannian was delivering goods, why did she go to work even though she had a sprained foot, and didn't know if she would come back early after get off work.
Tang Niannian accidentally noticed the receipt next to the cake bag, picked it up and looked at it. It said that Tang Niannian was designated for delivery.
Zuo Lingye noticed it, tore up the receipt, grabbed it and held it in his hand, urging with an unnatural expression: "Eat quickly." This chapter has been completed!
