"Father He's condition is a bit bad. He is too seriously injured and has lost all feeling from his waist down to his toes. Although County Magistrate Zhou has invited the most skilled doctor in Donglin County to diagnose and treat Father He, the situation remains the same. Not optimistic."
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't laugh anymore.
"So, Father He is likely to be paralyzed?" she asked.
Liu Xueyun glanced at Xiao An again and nodded: "It is very likely to be paralyzed..."
"No!" Xiao An suddenly patted the table and raised his head, something strong surging in his eyes.
"I can't let Uncle He be paralyzed. He is younger than our father. If he spends the rest of his life in bed, it will be more painful than death!"
"Besides, Sister Lian'er is still young, and Uncle He is the backbone of the He family. He must not collapse. No matter what, I have to find a way to heal his leg!"
"Xiao An, I'm really happy for you to be so responsible!" Yang Ruoqing looked at Xiao An happily, "Then we'll take care of things later. Let's take Uncle He to Qing'an County for leg treatment."
Xiao An nodded, "Sister, Uncle He is not suitable for bumping and moving yet. I plan to let him recover for a few days in Donglin County to stabilize his injuries. It just so happens that I can return to Qing'an County to give them the house in these few days. The family of three is ready, and some furniture and other things have been purchased, and we will come to pick him up when we're done, do you think that's okay?"
"Well, you have thought carefully about it. But, do you have the money to buy a house and furniture?"
Yang Ruoqing asked again, if he remembered correctly, he gave all the money she gave Xiao An before, as well as the money Xiao An had saved over the years, to the He family so that they could go back to their hometown of Tianba Village to bury He Qingsong, purchase fields, and repair them. Houses, taking care of relationships...
Of that sum of money, the He family probably didn't have much left after all the hard work, and they were bullied by Wang Ba to the point of almost annihilating the family.
So Xiao An now only has a house she gave him as a gift (a house cheated from Gu Zhihua).
It's just that the house was rented out by Xiao An last time to the scholars who came to the county to study. According to Xiao An's upright and heroic temperament, the rent has been collected and the contract has been signed. It is absolutely impossible for him to break the contract and rush out early. People's misdeeds.
"I have saved two months' monthly salary, which I can use to rent a house and buy furniture first." Xiao An sat on a stool, putting one hand on the table and the other on his thigh, frowning slightly, his wheat-colored face The last piece of perseverance.
Seeing how he was planning seriously and carrying the burden of the livelihood and future of the He family of three on his shoulders, Yang Ruoqing suddenly felt that her little brother had really grown up.
He is responsible like a real man, and the way he frowns and plans is somewhat similar to his father Yang Huazhong.
"For the treatment fee later, I can borrow some from Sanbao and the others first, and then pay it back when my monthly salary arrives next month. As long as it lasts until the end of the year, it will be fine. The house rented out there is until the end of the year, and the house will be taken back at the end of the year. I won’t rent it out anymore, and either let the He family live in it, or sell it, and the money from the sale can be used to treat Uncle He’s leg!”
Yang Ruoqing secretly took a breath when she heard that Xiao An wanted to sell her house to He's father for leg treatment.
I smashed in more than a hundred taels of silver before, and then smashed that house into it... Even if the He family's biological son He Qingsong was still alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to reach Xiao An's level, right?
Xiao An is really... risking his life!
"Xiao An, you are an adult now. I won't stop you from whatever you want to do, but I still want to remind you of some things."
Yang Ruoqing looked at her little brother tenderly and kindly, and said softly.
Xiao An looked at Yang Ruoqing seriously and acted like he did when his sister wanted to teach him when he was a child, putting aside other thoughts and listening carefully.
Yang Ruoqing was secretly satisfied, "Sister, I know why you are so nice to the He family, but Xiao An, what you have done to the He family is enough in everyone's eyes."
"The He family is a bottomless pit. The money and house you threw into it will never be recovered. Please forgive your sister for speaking directly, because your sister is a businessman herself, and businessmen will habitually weigh their income and expenses when considering problems. , I don’t do business at a loss, like you, it’s just… charity.”
Xiao An shook his head, "Sister, what happened to the businessman? If you hadn't been in business back then, our family wouldn't have the good life it has now."
"But sister, I understand what you are saying. I have paid to the He family and never included it in my business. I have given to the He family without any regrets because Qingsong is my good brother in life and death. I have made I vowed to take care of his parents and sister on his behalf, and I will definitely do it, no matter the cost!"
Yang Ruoqing was speechless for a moment.
She glanced towards Liu Xueyun. Liu Xueyun moved his eyelids slightly and spoke in a deep voice.
"Xiao An, don't forget that you still have biological parents to show filial piety to. Even if your parents have your sister and brother to show filial piety to you and don't need your intervention, what about your own life-long affairs? You are devoting yourself to planning for your family. No. Leave some plans for yourself?"
Xiao An frowned and looked at Liu Xueyun, his eyes filled with self-blame and guilt for a moment, but some perseverance did not waver at all.
"Sister, Brother Liu, I know you are all saying these things for my own good. I know in my heart that I have not done enough for my parents. My parents have not had time to repay me and they have shouldered another burden... ...I feel sorry for my parents, but I will do my best to honor them. If I say something unfilial again, even if my biological parents are missing one of me, there are still my sister and my brother, but the uncles and aunts of the He family Over there, if I don't care, they will really have no way to survive!"
"Qingsong died trying to block that blow for me. If he hadn't pushed me away, I wouldn't be sitting here alive talking to you right now. Compared to life, nothing else is important!"
Liu Xueyun sighed lightly, looked at Yang Ruoqing, and shrugged imperceptibly.
He said everything that needed to be said, but when the persuasion failed, he quit.
Yang Ruoqing smiled bitterly, took out a banknote from her body and pushed it in front of Xiao An: "Now that you have made up your mind, I won't say any negative words. You can take these one hundred taels of silver and go back to rent a house and buy daily necessities. Seeking medical treatment is indispensable."
Xiao An looked at the banknotes in front of him. His eyes, which had always been calm and unchanging, suddenly turned red and he turned away.
"Sister, don't give me any more money. I have no shame in asking for your money again!"
Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted him on the shoulder, "I am your sister, and I support you. It is only natural."
"Sister, I don't want it. I definitely don't want it this time. Your money doesn't come from a flood!"
Xiao An pushed back the banknote Yang Ruoqing thrust into his hand again.
As a man, since he wants to shoulder the burden of the He family, he must rely on his own strength.
You can't just rely on your sister's financial help behind your back and have a good reputation in front of others. That's just trying to gain fame and reputation. It's too hypocritical and selfish!
