Title My cousin is seriously ill, and I am ready to help generously, but I only get a windfall
I sat on a cold bench outside the room, holding a glass of cold water in my hand, stunned.
The bitter smell of disinfectant and medicines from the hospital reminded me that this was not a pleasant place.
Xiao Wang, the doctor recommends starting immediately**, otherwise your uncle's condition will become more and more dangerous.
My uncle's mother came to me crying, her voice hoarse: "Our family has almost no savings, we can't afford to pay for the medicine prescribed by the doctor, what should we do?".My heart sank and my eyes turned red.
It turned out that the uncle had a sudden acute leukemia and had to start immediately**, otherwise the condition would deteriorate rapidly.
However, the various tests that doctors need can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and this is just the beginning.
Late-stage chemotherapy and targeted drugs also require huge financial support.
Auntie, don't worry.
I have 10,000 pieces here, so you can use them first.
I will immediately call my cousin, he is now doing business in the city and should have some funds.
Let's collect a portion of the ** fee first, and then figure it out. ”
I comforted my aunt, but I was also worried and uneasy.
My aunt held my hand tightly, tears drenching my sleeve.
Child, you must find a way to save your uncle.
He has loved your nephews the most since he was a child. ”
I patted my aunt's thin back, and the corners of my eyes moistened.
The cousin quickly rushed to the hospital.
From afar, I saw him driving a brand-new BMW SUV, wearing a designer suit and an expensive watch on his wrist.
He strode into the room and held out his hand to me.
Cousin, thank you so much for coming.
Uncle had acute leukemia, and the doctor said that it must be immediately **, but the medical expenses were too high for us to pay for a month's income.
Cousin, you have made a lot of money doing business in the city, and I hope you can be generous and help Uncle tide over the difficulties. ”
You should also be clear. ”
I looked at my cousin in amazement, how could he not tell that he was in trouble by dressing and behavingI thought my cousin could come up with more than 100,000 yuan, but I didn't expect him to answer like this.
Cousin, as a rich and powerful man, how can you be insolvent?Uncle has been taking care of you for many years, and you can't even give up this money?I said with some excitement.
The cousin's face sank, and he took out 6 pieces of 100 yuan from his wallet and slapped them on the table: "I only have these 600 yuan on me, if you don't want it, then I'll take it back."
I'm really in trouble right now, do you think that just because I drive a luxury car and live in a luxury house means I'm really rich?These are false riches, and don't count on me. ”
I looked at the 6 bills on the table and was speechless.
My cousin is so stingy?He could obviously help solve the difficulty, but he only gave 600 yuan.
I was utterly disappointed in him.
When I came home depressed, my cousin's behavior was hard for me to accept.
Seeing that my face was not good, my mother asked with concern, "What's wrong?".Did your cousin promise to pay for the uncle's treatment?"My cousin said that it was difficult to cash in and only gave 600 yuan. ”
I replied sullenly.
Mom's eyes widened, she slapped the table and said, "Why does your cousin have no conscience like this!".Uncle has been so good to him for so many years, he is so ungrateful!I nodded, and my mother was right.
My uncle was a gentle, tolerant and kind elder.
When I was a child, I used to go back to my hometown with my parents to visit relatives.
Although the uncle was dressed plainly and his hands were full of calluses, he always made us very kind and amused.
I remember one time, my father talked about his experience when he was a child and couldn't go to school because of poverty, and his eyes were red.
It turned out that my father relied on my uncle to earn money to support his tuition, and my uncle often worked until late at night before coming home.
There is also a cousin, when his parents went out to work when he was a child, his uncle adopted him and took care of him.
The uncle treated his cousin as his own child, regularly took him to the doctor, bought clothes and daily necessities, and asked a tutor to help him with his homework.
Under the careful care of the uncle, my cousin's grades have been soaring, and he was finally admitted to the best local high school.
My cousin can have today, all thanks to the cultivation and promotion of my uncle.
But now that my uncle is about to pass away, my cousin doesn't care about him, I'm really angry!Mom said.
I was also angry with my cousin and felt that he was ungrateful.
We have to find a way to raise money for the medical bills, and we can't let Uncle leave us like this.
He occasionally came back to visit his family, but rarely contacted his uncle.
Gradually, my cousin's filial piety to my uncle gradually faded.
When the uncle fell ill and was hospitalized, the cousin's indifferent attitude already showed that their relationship was no longer close.
My family and I were very angry with my cousin, feeling that he was ungrateful and had lost his moral bottom line.
Cousin, do you still have humanity?Uncle thinks so highly of you, and you leave when he needs you the most, is it completely impersonal?I questioned my cousin.
The cousin's face became very ugly, and he defended: "My life is not easy now, don't look down on me."
The fact that I can come up with 600 yuan is already the greatest sincerity, if you still want to accuse me, then forget it. ”
The greatest sincerity?Are you kidding?Uncle has paid so much for you, is it only worth 600 yuan?I lost control of my emotions and pointed at my cousin's nose and cursed.
The cousin's face changed angrily and he got up to leave.
You only complain about others, but you never understand my plight!Forget it, I don't owe you anything. ”
I was so angry that I grabbed my cousin's hand: "If you leave, it will be equivalent to indirectly killing your uncle, and you have lost your conscience!."My cousin shook off my hand and left without looking back.
Looking at his back, my heart hurt like a knife.
The disappearance of my cousin plunged my family and me into despair.
We managed to raise some money and barely paid for my uncle's admission to the hospital for a month.
Just when I was about to call other relatives and friends for help, an unexpected person appeared.
Cousin?Why are you here?I looked at my cousin standing at the door of the ward in amazement.
The cousin walked to the uncle's bed with a serious expression and handed the aunt an envelope: "This is the medical fee I prepared, you can accept it."
I won't say the specific number, you use it in**in**, not enough to tell me. ”
The eldest aunt hesitated, and I hurriedly persuaded her to accept it.
Although the envelope was not thick, I had a gut feeling that there was a lot of money in it.
My cousin said to me with a solemn face, "Don't tell anyone else about this. ”
I nodded in surprise and watched my cousin leave.
I couldn't help but open the envelope and see that it was 100,000 yuan in cash!I realized that my cousin had been silently taking care of my uncle, and his previous attitude was probably bitter.
I chased him out and found my cousin outside the ward.
Cousin, I shouldn't doubt you, you have always cared about your uncle.
It's just that why would you want to hide your efforts?"I'm grateful.
The cousin said lightly"I'm not a good person, don't get me wrong.
I'm just doing what a nephew does, and I don't need anyone else to know.
I have my problems, but this is not up to you.
It dawned on me that my cousin must have encountered the dilemma of not being an outsider, so he chose to do good in a low-key manner.
I saw my cousin's good intentions clearly, and I couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
I approached my cousin to learn more about his predicament.
The cousin hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and poured out what was in his heart:"I look wealthy, but business isn't going well.
I owe hundreds of thousands of loans to the bank, there is a problem with the capital chain, and the business is about to collapse.
I don't want to drag you down, so I said I had difficulties before.
I can indeed come up with 100,000, but that's already my bottom line, otherwise I won't be able to live.
I listened and understood that my cousin was also in dire straits.
He couldn't bear to see his uncle pass away, so he did his best to help.
Cousin, I understand your struggle.
You don't owe us anything, you have done your duty as a nephew.
I shouldn't have criticized you rashly, I was wrong this time.
I say this sincerely.
The cousin shook his head and said"It's not all your fault, and it's my responsibility to clarify as well.
Actually, I don't lack that money, but I'm worried that you will misunderstand that I have money, and you will rely on me more in the future.
I have to let you know that I'm having a hard time too.
I know in my heart that my uncle's kindness will not see him die, but I can't let go easily, which is too hard for me.
I nodded, understanding my cousin's intentions.
Cousin, just do your best, we won't embarrass you.
But you have to take care of yourself, don't be too reluctant in business, your body is the most important thing.
My cousin finally smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and said"Well, the most important thing is to have your understanding.
I'll do the best, too.
Since then, my relationship with my cousin has become closer.
We often eat together and talk about my uncle's current situation.
My cousin will also help my uncle pay for some medical bills, and I am very grateful.
He is a good brother who values love and righteousness, and his blood is thicker than water.
