Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie gave away their share of the money and left, not staying for a meal at all.
Not long after leaving, I saw the people eating at the banquet coming back. After asking, I found out that Chen Dashu had prepared three dishes, not even a soup, and they came back after finishing the meal.
Lu Yao: "..."
Duan Mingjie: "..."
But look at how happy everyone was, and no one complained about Chen Dashu's poor reception.
Also, what can they ask of a pauper?
Moreover, he is a pauper who takes care of everyone’s garbage, so no one has any complaints.
The two returned home and saw Dong Defang and Yang Na sitting in the yard talking to their uncle.
Seeing Lu Yao come back, Yang Na wiped her tears and smiled sheepishly at Lu Yao, "Yao Yao, I'm sorry, I really can't hold it back."
Duan Chengcai is her only heartache. If she doesn't cure him, she won't be able to close her eyes even if she dies.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yaoyao paid her New Year's greetings. She told Yaoyao about this matter. Yaoyao said that he would ask for her when he returned to the city, but Yaoyao had been back for so many days and there was no news.
She couldn't sit still any longer, so she had to come over and ask with a shy face.
Lu Yao sat down next to her, "Fourth Aunt, it's okay. I understand. It's my fault that I didn't go to your house to tell you immediately when I came back."
Mainly because I forgot about it.
Yang Na waved her hand, "I don't blame you, you are too busy."
Lu Yao didn't mince words with her, "Fourth Aunt, I asked after I went back, and also asked my uncle to ask the famous doctors at our place. The doctors all said that Chengcai delayed the best time for treatment, and there was nothing they could do."
Yang Na's eyes were red, and she choked and said, "I know, Mr. Dong just told me."
She was mentally prepared. If there was hope, Duan Mingjie would have called them long ago.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yao felt uncomfortable and wanted to tell her that Duan Chengcai would definitely be fine and they would take him to the capital for medical treatment.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
"Fourth Aunt, don't be anxious. Our country's medical treatment is progressing very quickly. Look at my sister. She has congenital heart disease, which was previously said to be incurable. She just had an operation some time ago and is recovering well. She will definitely be able to become a talented person. After being cured, he is still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don’t worry, we will all remember it. As long as there is a chance, we will definitely take Chengcai to see a doctor."
Yang Na couldn't help crying again, "My in-laws told me the same thing, Yaoyao, I know it's not good to say this, but your fourth uncle and I, apart from you and Mingjie, no one can count on us."
Duan Mingjie's eyes were hot, "Auntie, Chengcai is my brother and I am your nephew. You should count on me. Don't worry, as long as I have the chance, I will definitely take Chengcai to see a doctor as soon as possible."
If it doesn't work in the city, go to the capital.
If you can't live in the capital, you can still go abroad.
No one can predict what will happen in the future, but as long as there is hope, he will not give up.
Duan Mingjie's promise made Yang Na burst into tears.
"Yang Na, there is someone coming from Yaoyao's family. You are not afraid of being laughed at even if you cry like this."
A harsh voice sounded outside the door.
Lu Yao and the others looked over.
The visitors were none other than Duan Mingjie's second uncle and third uncle's family, and the person speaking was his third aunt Li Xiaotao.
Dong Defang and the others all looked at Lu Yao, "Yao Yao, who are they?"
Lu Yao didn't want to answer, so Duan Mingjie said from the side, "Uncle, these are my second uncle, second aunt, third uncle and third aunt."
Dong Defang and Lu Jianguo stood up, "It turns out they are Duan Mingjie's uncles, please sit down quickly."
Duan Mingcheng went back to the house and brought stools to the four of them.
After sitting down, Li Xiaotao looked at Dong Defang and Lu Jianguo with a smile, "You two are Yaoyao's parents."
Seeing the flattering look on her face, Lu Yao couldn't help but curl her lips.
Dong Defang and the others did not answer the call.
Being left out, Li Xiaotao was not angry. He turned to look at Yang Na and sighed, "I'm not telling you, Chengcai has been stupid for so many years, and you haven't given up yet. How many doctors have you seen and how much have you spent?" It’s a waste of money, don’t you know how many gossips your daughter-in-law has said about you behind your back? Don’t let your eldest son’s family break up even though his illness was not cured in the end.”
Yang Na cried so much that she could not speak. Lu Yao hugged her and raised her head to meet Li Xiaotao's mocking gaze.
Lu Yao looked at her third uncle Duan Fushan who was looking aside, "Third uncle, Chengcai is your nephew. It's okay if you don't help. Isn't it wrong to watch jokes with outsiders?"
Duan Fushan twitched the corners of his lips and did not answer.
"Yao Yao, how can this be a joke?" Li Xiaotao smiled at her, "I'm telling the truth. I don't want to see your fourth aunt worry about becoming a talent all day long, dragging down her son, and now she actually I still have to rely on Mingjie.”
Li Xiaotao sighed, "Brother and sister, I'm not telling you. Mingjie is not your biological son. Now he is married. Why don't you think about whether others are willing to make such a request?"
Yang Na wiped away her tears and said, "I didn't rely on Mingjie. We won't give Mingjie a cent of the money we paid for Chengcai's medical treatment."
Duan Mingjie was a little impatient, "Second and third uncles came together for business, right?"
Duan Fuqiang and Duan Fushan looked at each other, neither of them dared to speak.
Duan Mingjie sighed, saying that each of the nine sons of Longsheng was different. His father and fourth uncle were both tough men. Looking at how cowardly Duan Fushan and Duan Fuqiang were, Duan Mingjie didn't even want to call them uncle!
Li Xiaotao bumped into Gu Cuihua, "Second sister-in-law, you are the boss, you speak first."
Gu Cuihua glared at her and secretly cursed a coward!
She looked at Duan Mingjie awkwardly, with an arrogant expression, "Third brother, you see you have more than one younger brother. You also have a younger brother who is not married."
Hearing this, Lu Yao smiled. Did she want Duan Mingjie to marry her son?
Duan Mingjie raised his eyelids, "What do you mean, second aunt?"
Gu Cuihua thought he didn't understand, so she said, "Look, the house is built so well, the wife is married, and the father-in-law is so rich, shouldn't you give your brother a hand?"
Duan Mingjie stretched his legs and said in a cold voice, "My mother only gave birth to three sons, and I am the third oldest. Where did the younger brother come from?"
Gu Cuihua refused, "Just now you said that Cheng is your brother. Why, they all have the same family background, and you still treat them differently!"
Lu Yao smiled mockingly, "It turns out that both aunts have a habit of listening to people in corners. How long have they been standing outside?"
Gu Cuihua opened her mouth and was about to choke back. Thinking that Lu Yao's family was still there, she endured it.
"Yao Yao, we don't want to disturb you, we didn't mean not to come in."
Lu Yao said, "Yes, you just wait until we finish talking before coming in."
Gu Cuihua: "You!"
Lu Yao curled her lips, "Me what?"
Gu Cuihua put away her emotions and scolded Lu Yao countless times in her heart, but said, "Yao Yao, after all, we are a family. You can't bear to see your brother unable to get a wife."
Lu Yao nodded, "I can't bear it."
Gu Cuihua: "......"
Gu Cuihua was so angry that she almost fell over.
Lu Yao admired Gu Cuihua's colorful face, found it interesting, and wanted to tease her.
"Second Aunt, how do you plan for us to help?"
When Gu Cuihua heard this, she thought there was something interesting and immediately put on a smile, "Yao Yao, we don't have any other requests. Your parents will give you a sewing machine. Lend it to us. Lend us another two hundred yuan. Let's , I have fallen in love with the daughter of a tailor shop and want to marry her. With a sewing machine, she can make clothes and sell them, and we will have money to pay you back."
Hearing this, Lu Yao looked at her and nodded.
Gu Cuihua thought Lu Yao agreed, "Yao Yao, I knew you would agree!"
Lu Yao: "Which of your eyes saw that I agreed?"
Gu Cuihua's face turned dark, "Then why are you nodding?"
Lu Yao: "I just want to confirm how shameless you are."
