I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Zhao Xinxin wanted to roll her eyes at her second uncle, but changed her mind and held back.

She said, "Second Uncle, go and pay Grandpa's surgery fee!"

Zhao Jinzhu was stunned when he heard this. "You haven't paid the surgery fee yet?"

Zhao Xinxin hummed, and urged: "No, Uncle, go quickly."

Mr. Zhao's various fees had indeed not been paid yet. Although Zhao Xinxin put her family's passbook in her pocket when she got on the ambulance, the hospital could not use passbooks for payment. It was late at night and she did not have time to withdraw cash.

When a patient is critically ill, the hospital will follow the principle of life first and provide emergency treatment to the patient first, and the family can settle the expenses later.

Mr. Zhao’s condition was very dangerous, so the hospital opened an emergency green channel for him and performed first aid and surgery.

Zhao Jinzhu suddenly looked embarrassed, "This... I don't have that much money on me..."

Zhao Xinxin frowned and said coldly, "Second Uncle, my grandma called you and told you that grandpa needs surgery. How dare you come to the hospital without any money?!"

Zhao Jinzhu said: "It's so late, where can I get so much money..."

Zhao Xinxin said, "I just asked the aunt at the payment window, and she said I can pay directly with a bank card. Uncle, go ahead and swipe your bank card!"

"I was in such a hurry to come out that I didn't even bring my bank card!"

"you……!"

Zhao Xinxin's lips trembled with anger.

Grandma Xinxin reached out and took her youngest son's hand, tearfully saying, "Zhuzi, why don't you go get some money tomorrow? Your dad's...it's going to cost a lot of money."

"Alas..." Zhao Jinzhu sighed and said, "I'll ask Xiaoyu tomorrow how much money is left at home. She manages the family's money."

After a pause, he continued, "But we don't really have much money. Xiaoyu is pregnant, and prenatal checkups and other things cost money. She can't go to work now. The family relies on my salary to support us, and I can't save much..."

Grandma Xinxin slowly let go of her son's hand, stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.

Zhao Xinxin glared at Zhao Jinzhu and said angrily, "Don't you want to take care of Grandpa?!"

Zhao Jinzhu looked at Zhao Xinxin with a stern tone, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're just a little girl, how can you know how hard it is to make money and how hard it is to support a family?!"

Su Xing, Zhang Caifeng and Cheng Xiuning exchanged glances with each other and frowned.

"Okay, stop making noise in the hospital!" The village party secretary's son reached out and pulled Zhao Jinzhu aside, staring at him and saying, "Zhuzi, the person lying in the operating room is your own father. As a man, you have to shoulder some responsibilities."

Zhao Jinzhu muttered softly, "I didn't say I don't care. My life is really hard these days. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll discuss it with Xiaoyu..."

Grandma Xinxin sat back in her chair, crying silently.

Zhao Xinxin came to her grandmother, patted her on the back, and glared at Zhao Jinzhu.

Su Xing and the others sighed secretly. They naturally understood what was going on with the second uncle of the Zhao family, but they were outsiders and it was not appropriate for them to interrupt and say anything at this time.

Mr. Zhao's operation lasted more than four hours before it was completed.

As soon as the operating room door opened, everyone gathered around.

Grandma Xinxin looked up at the doctor, her eyes full of hope. "Doctor, how did my husband's surgery go?"

The surgeon said, "It was quite successful. If the operation had been delayed a little longer, the patient would have been in danger."

Zhao Xinxin asked: "Uncle Doctor, is my grandpa out of danger?"

The doctor said: "The success of the operation does not mean that you are out of danger."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Zhao Jinzhu started to ask, "What doctor? You just said the operation was successful, so why are you saying he might not be out of danger? Are you doctors trying to shirk responsibility?!"

The doctor looked at Zhao Jinzhu and asked, "Excuse me, who are you to this patient?"

Zhao Jinzhu tilted his neck and said, "I am the patient's son!"

This doctor has been working for many years and has seen all kinds of patients' families, so he is not annoyed at the moment.

He explained slowly, "The main risk after surgery comes from complications. The 72 hours after surgery is the 'golden observation period,' during which we must observe for postoperative bleeding, acute worsening of cerebral edema, and other conditions. After the acute phase, we must observe the patient for one to two weeks to see if they develop complications such as lung infection, intracranial infection, and electrolyte imbalance. Only after the patient has survived all the critical periods can we say they are out of danger."

Zhao Jinzhu wanted to say something, but the village party secretary's son reached out and pulled him over. "Alright, the doctors have been trying to save Uncle Zhao all night and they're exhausted. Don't make things worse for now."

Zhao Xinxin bowed to the doctor and said, "Thank you."

Grandma Xinxin also said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, thank you..."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

Zhao Xinxin asked again: "So is my grandpa going to be sent to the ward now?"

"Not now. You have to stay in the intensive care unit for a while."

"Okay, we got it."

Mr. Zhao was pushed into the intensive care unit.

The village party secretary's son glanced at the time and said, "It's almost three in the morning. What are everyone's plans? Are we going back to the village? Or are we staying in the city?"

Grandma Xinxin said: "I won't go back to the village. I will stay here."

Zhao Xinxin said, "I'll stay here with grandma and wait for news from grandpa. Sister Su, you guys can go back first."

The village party secretary's son looked at Zhao Jinzhu and said, "How about you take your mother and Xinxin home and rest for a few hours? Auntie's health is not good to begin with. She can't stand staying in the hospital like this."

Zhao Jinzhu said in embarrassment: "This... My home is too far from the hospital. It takes an hour or two to go back and forth. Besides, except for the master bedroom where my wife and I live, the other rooms are not cleaned up and cannot be lived in. Xiaoyu has had trouble sleeping since she became pregnant..."

His words made everyone present frown.

"What do you mean, kid?!"

"I don't mean anything, this is the reality..."

Grandma Xinxin's face turned pale and she waved her hands feebly, "Forget it, Niuniu and I will just stay here. It will be dawn soon..."

At this moment, in addition to worrying about the old man in the ICU, she also felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

Her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, and the pain was so severe that she had difficulty breathing.

Zhao Xinxin glared at her second uncle fiercely. Although she didn't want to go to her second uncle's house and see his and his aunt's faces, after hearing what he said, she just hated him! Especially hated him!
