Anhua City was not very big, but it was not small either.
There were still many good doctors and specialists in the First People's Hospital.
They arrived at the hospital after a twenty-minute drive.
While they were in the car, the doctors and nurses managed to control Jiang Chen's grandmother's condition.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Chen's grandmother was immediately sent to the operating room to prepare for emergency surgery.
At the entrance of the operating room.
Everyone stood there and waited. Every one of them looked rather anxious.
At this moment, a doctor in a white coat walked out of the ward.
He looked at everyone and said, "Who is the patient's immediate family?"
At this moment, Third Uncle immediately walked out. "I am the patient's son. Doctor, how is my mother's condition?"
The doctor in the white coat was wearing a mask, but his eyebrows were tightly knitted.
"The patient's condition is not very optimistic. The surgery may take a long time. Hurry up and pay the bill. Otherwise, the patient's treatment will be delayed."
After saying this, the doctor in the white coat returned to the operating room.
Although the hospital was based on saving lives, the surgery fees were indispensable.
Seeing the doctor return to the operating room, Third Uncle Zhao Minghong immediately looked at his son-in-law and said, "Qiu Ming, come with me to pay the bill."
Third Uncle did not have a lot of money on hand.
Therefore, he could only hope that his son-in-law would pay him some money. He was willing to take it as a loan.
However, Third Uncle's son-in-law was also a shrewd person. He would not fall for Zhao Minghong's trick so easily.
At this moment, Qiu Ming hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, you asked me to go with you to pay the bill. I don't have any money on me now. Besides, my company's funds are in operation now. It's not convenient for me to take them out."
It was obvious from his words that he didn't want to fork out any money, nor did he want to get involved in this matter.
After all, in Qiu Ming's eyes, it was not his mother who was hospitalized. Why should he pay?
When Third Uncle Zhao Minghong heard this, the expression on his face immediately became very ugly.
He did not expect that his son-in-law, who he had always thought highly of, would say such things now.
He had always regarded his son-in-law as his pride.
However, he did not expect that his son-in-law would drop the ball at this critical moment.
If something were to happen to him in the future, Qiu Ming would probably be the first to run, and the fastest!
Zhao Minghong shook his head dejectedly. He wanted to scold Qiu Ming, but he didn't know what to say.
He could only look at his daughter, Zhao Yingying, and say, "Yingying, how much money do you have now? Let me use it first. After a while, I'll give it to you."
However, Third Uncle's daughter, Zhao Yingying, also looked helpless.
Although she really wanted to help her grandmother and pay for her medical expenses, it was a pity that she had no power to manage the finances at home.
All the money in the family was in Qiu Ming's hands. If Zhao Yingying wanted to spend money, she had to ask Qiu Ming for it.
If Qiu Ming was in a good mood, he might give her some. If he was in a bad mood, she wouldn't get a single cent.
Therefore, even if her own father asked her, Zhao Yingying said helplessly, "Dad, I'm sorry. I … I … I don't have money either."
Zhao Yingying stuttered as she spoke of her pain.
At this moment, Third Uncle Zhao Minghong instantly understood that his daughter had no status or financial resources in the Qiu Family …
He suddenly regretted it now. He shouldn't have married Zhao Yingying to Qiu Ming. It was all his father's fault.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
Moreover, the most important thing to solve right now was the problem of his mother's medical expenses.
In front of his snobbish and stingy son-in-law, Zhao Minghong didn't want to lose too much face.
He chuckled and then said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. I'm just asking you. Your uncle and aunt are both rich people. I'll call them now and ask them to come over."
In the Zhao Family, there was a big brother, a second sister, including Third Uncle Zhao Minghong and Jiang Chen's mother. There were a total of four siblings.
However, the eldest brother, Zhao Mingxian, and the second sister, Zhao Songzhi, were not in Kaishan Town. They lived in Anhua City.
It just so happened that their mother was sick and had to be hospitalized for surgery. These two brothers and sisters had to come in handy.
They were all brothers and sisters of the family. Now that their mother was in trouble, they should help her. This was indispensable.
Therefore, Third Uncle Zhao Minghong took out his phone and quickly called his big brother, Zhao Mingxian.
However, the call didn't go through after a while.
Zhao Minghong was a little annoyed. He hung up the phone and continued to call his sister.
After the call went through, Zhao Minghong immediately said, "Sister, it's not good. Our mother is in the hospital. Now we need a large fee. Hurry up and bring the money."
Sure enough, Zhao Minghong's second sister, Zhao Songzhi, was very anxious when she heard this.
"What? Mom is sick and hospitalized? How much does it cost?"
Zhao Minghong didn't know how much it would cost. He said casually, "I don't know now. I have to pay the fee. It's in Anhua City's First People's Hospital. Heart surgery costs at least a hundred or two hundred thousand. Bring me three hundred thousand first."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Songzhi was silent for a while. After a long time, she said, "Third Brother, there are some things that I'll be frank with you. In my family, I'm not in charge. The money is not with me. Besides, I'm married. Mom's medical expenses should be borne by you and big brother. I don't have three hundred thousand right now."
Hearing this, Zhao Minghong was very angry.
He immediately said, "I don't care. This is our mother's. You have to pay for it. Now, just treat it as if I'm borrowing it from you. Hurry up and bring it over."
However, Zhao Songzhi still said, "But I don't have that much. Third Brother, where do you want me to go to find a solution for you?"
Zhao Minghong, who was a little angry, couldn't care less. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay. Don't talk so much nonsense. Bring me how much you have now. I'll think of a way to get the rest."
Zhao Songzhi quickly replied, "I only have thirty thousand right now."
"Only thirty thousand! “
Zhao Minghong was very angry.
But at this moment, he also knew that his mother's hospitalization cost money.
Even if it was only thirty thousand, Zhao Minghong still said, "Okay, okay. Thirty thousand it is. Bring it over first. I'll wait for you at the payment hall."
After saying this, Zhao Minghong hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Minghong's expression was very ugly.
But soon, Zhao Minghong's gaze turned to Jiang Chen.
He knew that Jiang Chen delivered food in the capital and made eight to eight thousand yuan a month. Maybe Jiang Chen had some savings …
.....
Jiang Chen saw the look in his third uncle's eyes and knew what was on his third uncle's mind.
Logically speaking, the children should bear the burden of Grandma's illness.
But Jiang Chen knew that these uncles and aunts were usually very good at showing off.
Now that Grandma was sick, they were all scared. It was fine if they refused to pay, but First Uncle Zhao Mingxian couldn't be contacted at all.
Third Uncle's son-in-law was the best at showing off. He even talked about projects worth hundreds of millions.
Now, he was unwilling to pay just a few hundred thousand yuan. It really made people speechless.
When it came to money, he hid faster than anything else.
Before Zhao Minghong could say anything, Jiang Chen took the initiative to say, "Okay, Third Uncle, you don't have to say anything. I'll pay for Grandma's medical expenses. No matter how much it costs, I'll pay."
Hearing this, Third Uncle Zhao Minghong was very touched.
He hurried to Jiang Chen, held Jiang Chen's hand, and said, "Jiang Chen, Grandma didn't dote on you for nothing. Let's go and pay the bill."
It could be seen that Third Uncle was truly moved, and he wasn't putting on an act.
Jiang Chen didn't say anything more and went downstairs with Third Uncle.
When they arrived at the payment hall, Jiang Chen swiped his card and paid five hundred thousand yuan. He would pay for the medical expenses first.
After all, the hospital said that the more, the less, the better.
In the payment hall, Third Uncle saw Jiang Chen casually swiping five hundred thousand yuan. He was really shocked.
It could be said that Third Uncle Zhao Minghong had worked hard all his life, but he hadn't saved that much money.
Zhao Minghong couldn't help but approach Jiang Chen and ask curiously, "Jiang Chen, I didn't know that you had saved so much money. This is five hundred thousand yuan for medical expenses, and you paid it all at once. It's all thanks to you this time. "
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "Third Uncle, sometimes you don't have to be so snobbish. Although I deliver food, I also do some other investments. So I made some money. Do you understand?"
Zhao Minghong hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes. Jiang Chen, you're really amazing. You even know how to invest and manage money!"
At that moment, Third Uncle's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was his eldest brother, Zhao Mingxian.
Zhao Minghong's heart was instantly filled with anger. He was very unhappy.
When he called Zhao Mingxian earlier, this guy didn't pick up.
Now that the problem of the medical expenses and the surgery fees had just been solved, Zhao Mingxian called back?!
Damn it!
This made Zhao Minghong feel that his eldest brother didn't do it on purpose, did he?
However, although he was angry, Zhao Minghong still picked up the phone.
Soon, the sound of Zhao Mingxian burping could be heard from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Third Uncle, what's the matter? You called me when you were eating. I was having a party with a few big bosses just now, so it wasn't convenient for me to pick up your call. You know that when doing business, you need to build relationships and socialize. These are big clients. There's a business deal worth tens of millions to discuss. You can't neglect it. "
It had to be said that the people of the Zhao family were born to be pretentious.
First Uncle Zhao Mingxian had pretended to be pretentious before he even asked what the matter was. He wanted his younger brother to think that his eldest brother was super rich, famous, and had status.
If this had been in the past, Zhao Minghong would have backed down immediately. Moreover, he would have flattered his eldest brother non-stop.
But today, after this incident, Zhao Minghong had changed.
Bullsh * t socializing, bullsh * t building relationships. No matter how important the matter was, it couldn't compare to his own mother!
The angry Zhao Minghong held the phone and shouted, "Stop pretending to be pretentious. What business are you talking about? Our mother has a heart attack and is in the hospital! Hurry over to the First People's Hospital in Anhua City and bring five hundred thousand yuan to Jiang Chen! Our mother's medical expenses are all paid by Jiang Chen. You have to pay! "
Zhao Minghong's sudden outburst stunned Zhao Mingxian.
However, after a while, Zhao Mingxian replied, "Alright, I'll be right there."
Then, Zhao Mingxian hung up.
In the payment hall, Zhao Minghong let out a long sigh.
He finally felt that he had toughened up in front of his eldest brother and second sister!
In the past, he had always thought that his eldest brother and second sister's family were richer than his. He had always been a coward.
As a result, he could only pretend to be pretentious in front of Jiang Chen's family.
But today, when his mother was in trouble, his eldest brother and second sister, who loved to show off, didn't pay a single cent …
Putting away his phone, Zhao Minghong looked at Jiang Chen and said kindly, "Jiang Chen, don't worry. When your eldest uncle and second aunt come later, they will return the five hundred thousand yuan to you. You won't have to pay for it."
Now, his third uncle, Zhao Minghong, seemed to have turned over a new leaf. In front of Jiang Chen, he was very respectful and kind.
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's talk about this later. As long as Grandma is fine, everything will be fine."
.....
As they spoke, the two of them went upstairs.
When they reached the corridor outside the operating room, Zhao Zhifei, Zhao Yingying, and Jiang Anran were still waiting anxiously.
His third uncle's son-in-law, Qiu Ming, was sitting on a chair beside them. He was starting to feel sleepy and was even taking a nap.
Seeing this, his third uncle, Zhao Minghong, was infuriated.
He really wanted to slap Qiu Ming twice to wake him up!
Unfortunately, Qiu Ming was his son-in-law, not his son!
Everyone waited outside the operating room for about twenty minutes.
The light in the operating room was still on. Jiang Chen's grandmother was still in the emergency room.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's second aunt, Zhao Songzhi, arrived.
Zhao Songzhi was in her fifties. She was wearing a mink coat and her hair was gaudy. She was wearing high heels and carrying a small bag. She hurried to the door of the operating room.
Those who didn't know better would think that Zhao Songzhi was a rich woman.
When she arrived outside the operating room, Zhao Songzhi was very anxious. She looked at her third uncle, Zhao Minghong, and asked hurriedly, "Third brother, how is our mother? Was the operation successful? "
Zhao Minghong didn't have a good impression of his second sister, Zhao Songzhi.
He raised his head and glanced at Zhao Songzhi. He said, "Mother is still in the operating room. Did you bring the money I asked you to bring?"
At the mention of this, Zhao Songzhi stomped her foot and said, "Third brother! You called me in such a hurry that I forgot to withdraw the money from my bank card. But don't worry, when Mother's operation is successful, I'll definitely return the money to you. "
Even a fool wouldn't believe her words.
Zhao Songzhi didn't forget to put on makeup and dress up when she went out. She was dressed like a rich woman, but she forgot to bring her bank card to withdraw the money.
Would anyone believe that?
Anyway, someone as stupid as Zhao Minghong wouldn't believe it at all.
Especially on Zhao Songzhi's hands, the two big golden bracelets were still flashing and emitting light.
Those two things cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Third Uncle was already in a bad mood. When he saw his second sister come empty-handed, he was even more displeased.
Therefore, Zhao Minghong couldn't care less. He retorted unhappily, "You're always buying this and that. How much money do you make in a year? This time, when Mother asked for tens of thousands of yuan for the operation, you didn't even want to take it. What's wrong with you? Isn't this your mother? "
Zhao Songzhi didn't expect her third brother to be so bold as to quarrel with her.
Immediately, Zhao Songzhi felt that she had lost all her face and was very embarrassed.
After all, Jiang Chen and the other juniors were all here.
How could Zhao Songzhi be happy after being refuted?
She immediately retorted, "Third Brother, you're wrong to say that. Of course, I'm worried about Mother's hospitalization. But when it comes to money, you and Big Brother should think of a way. I've been married for decades. Don't you know the rules in our hometown? A married daughter is like spilled water! If you want me to pay for it, that's fine. What about your daughter, Zhao Yingying? Her family isn't very rich, but she bought a Mercedes-Benz and has a big business. She can pay for it too! "
As soon as she said that, Qiu Ming, who had been dozing off, woke up immediately.
Without another word, he stood up and hurriedly said, "Second Aunt, you're wrong to say that! We're juniors. It's not up to us to pay for it. Besides, Jiang Chen isn't rich. He paid for the surgery and the medical bills just now. Since he's so rich, let him pay for it … "
Zhao Songzhi immediately stopped talking when she heard that.
She had thought that she would have to argue with Zhao Minghong.
Now that Jiang Chen had paid for the medical bills and the surgery, she was relieved.
Zhao Songzhi smiled as if a big stone had been lifted from her heart.
She immediately looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Chen, you're the best. Thank goodness your grandma didn't dote on you for nothing. Well done! It's your duty to be filial to your grandma. If word gets out in the future, people will give you a thumbs-up and praise you! "
Looking at his second aunt Zhao Songzhi's smiling face and her hypocritical words, Jiang Chen was speechless for a while. He just smiled and said, "Okay."
Zhao Songzhi asked for a rebuff. She couldn't say anything in front of Jiang Chen.
She simply found a stool and sat down to wait for the results of the surgery.
Zhao Minghong didn't want to argue at this moment. He could only stay silent.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange and awkward.
Not long after, First Uncle Zhao Mingxian arrived …
