Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

At this time, one thousand yuan in the countryside could build a good roof over your head, while five to six hundred yuan could afford a slightly inferior courtyard. If their family alone worked and saved money, they would need at least a few years to accumulate such an amount, not to mention that their family simply couldn't come up with the money right now.

In Qiu Xiu's opinion, although Fang Pingying said she had money, she definitely wouldn't have that much. She was extremely anxious.

Upon seeing this, Fang Pingying immediately took her hand, "Auntie, don't worry, I can come up with the money."

"Doctor, please proceed with the medication, I'll go get the money right now," said Fang Pingying. After speaking, she quietly instructed Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, I have two hundred yuan here; go and handle the hospital admission process first, I'll withdraw the money."

It was very convenient to withdraw money in the county, with a bank close to the hospital, and there weren't many people depositing money at this time. In less than ten minutes, Fang Pingying had withdrawn the money and returned to the hospital.

The doctor, seeing that they had paid the medical fees in one go, immediately wheeled the patient into the ward.

After a flurry of activity, Luo Dahu was moved into the inpatient department.

The medicine really was powerful, Luo Dahu, who had been in continuous high fever before, had his temperature visibly drop within less than an hour after being admitted, and he also stopped raving, his complexion looking much better.

The doctor examined him and said that as long as the fever subsided, there would be no serious issues. After a few days in the hospital, his body would slowly recover.

With this, Fang Pingying and the rest finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that there were so many people looking after Luo Dahu, Fang Pingying said to the visibly exhausted Qiu Xiu, "Auntie, go take a rest on the next bed. Let Zhiyong look after uncle, and Hong Lan and I will go out to buy some food. It's past mealtime already, and you didn't get a chance to eat anything this morning."

Up until now, Qiu Xiu was still not herself, hardly believing that Luo Dahu could be cured just like that. She stayed by Luo Dahu's side, unwilling to leave.

Seeing Fang Pingying, she took her hand with gratitude, "Pingying, I really owe you one this time. If it wasn't for you, uncle might not have been saved."

Fang Pingying smiled and comforted her, "Auntie, we're family. If I can help, I will. Moreover, this situation was caused by Cuilan. If uncle hadn't needed to save her, none of this would have happened."

"Ah, we are all family, how could we just watch her seek death without trying to save her," Qiu Xiu chastised, glancing at Luo Dahu lying on the hospital bed, "Given your uncle's nature, even if it had been someone else, he would have jumped in to save them, let alone his own niece."

Then, she heaved a worried sigh, "It's just, the cost of saving someone this time is too high. All in all, it comes to several hundred yuan. Even if your uncle gets better, I have no idea when we'll be able to repay it."

"Auntie, let's not talk about repaying the money right now. I don't lack this amount. Once uncle is better, you all just continue as before, living your lives well," said Fang Pingying. If not for the fact that Cuilan had caused this incident, Fang Pingying might even have been happy to pay this money.

For her, money wasn't in short supply, and uncle's family were all good people. Back when she started doing business, uncle and auntie were even more enthusiastic than Zhou Yunmei. She wouldn't count this amount of money against her uncle, making them feel burdened with such a debt.

Qiu Xiu was an honest person; in her eyes repaying debts was a matter of principle, "How can that be right? We definitely must repay this money. Making money is not easy for anyone, and to come up with so much all at once is a lot."

Hearing Qiu Xiu say this, Luo Zhiyong spoke up, "Auntie, don't worry about the money. I will demand repayment from Luo Cuilan and the Zhang family when the time comes. It's their responsibility to pay for this."

"Ah, but that doesn't seem quite right," Qiu Xiu sighed, "Saving her was your uncle's own decision. Cuilan and the Zhang family didn't force him, plus it was his own weak body at fault. Look, Cuilan and Zhiyong didn't come out with a scratch."

"Auntie, it's not really like that," Luo Zhiyong nodded towards her, then said to Qiu Xiu, "Anyway, don't concern yourself with the money, I'll settle it with Cuilan and the rest."

Qiu Xiu saw that both Luo Zhiyong and his wife were insisting so vehemently, she couldn't be too insistent in bringing up the matter, so she laughed and said, "Well then, our family definitely can't repay it recently, so let's just owe it for now. When times get better, I'll definitely pay it back."

"Let's talk about future matters in the future." No matter what Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying said, Qiu Xiu's resolve to repay the money wasn't going to wane. She insisted on paying it back. In the end, Fang Pingying had no other choice but to say, "You rest first. I'll go with Hong Lan to buy lunch."

Qiu Xiu nodded and immediately took out twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Fang Pingying, "Take this money for it."

This time, Fang Pingying didn't refuse and took it directly.

She could see that due to the medical expenses, Qiu Xiu was already feeling very guilty. If she didn't accept the money for the meal, Qiu Xiu wouldn't feel good about it either.

Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan were really about to leave the ward when they saw Cheng Fei and Xiao Yu running over, both sweating profusely.

The two of them asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, how is my dad?"

Seeing that they were extremely worried, Fang Pingying immediately smiled at them, "It's okay now, the fever has gone down a bit. He's inside. You can go in and have a look."

"Ah." Upon hearing that everything was okay, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Meals in the county were very expensive. Fang Pingying stir-fried four dishes, which cost her around ten to twenty yuan.

Seeing this made Luo Honglan wince in pain. She took out ten yuan from her pocket and said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, let me pay for the meal. Auntie probably doesn't have much money, and eating like this every day definitely can't be affordable."

"It's okay, it's just this meal." Fang Pingying shook her head at her, "We'll go back tonight. It's enough to have your big brother and Cheng Fei stay here with Second Uncle."

Luo Honglan thought that it was okay if it was just for a short while and nodded in agreement. Your support at MV^LEMP^YR keeps the series going.

On their way back to the hospital, Luo Honglan asked Fang Pingying somewhat worriedly, "Sister-in-law, is it really possible to get the money for Uncle's treatment from the Zhang family?"

"What do you think?" Fang Pingying actually hoped they could get some. At least if the money really did come from the Zhang family, Auntie would feel justified in accepting it.

Luo Honglan, however, wasn't optimistic about the Zhang family. She shook her head, "You and big brother are just comforting Auntie, aren't you? Even if the Zhang family is willing to give, they can't come up with that much money."

"It's not about asking the Zhang family alone. Every little bit they give counts." Remembering that Zhou Yunmei seemed quite confident when she was at home, she smiled and said, "Let's see what mom can do. Perhaps she can really get some."

Luo Honglan nodded, she also hoped so.

Thinking of the big expenses that her Uncle had incurred this time, Luo Honglan said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, do you still have money? If not enough, you can take it from my passbook, I'll help with the expenses for Uncle's treatment."

"What a silly girl, always offering your little amount of money. How many times can you really help out?" Fang Pingying laughed, patted her on the head and said, "Sister-in-law isn't short of money. Keep your savings for a rainy day."

Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan and the others stayed until the afternoon. When Luo Dahu woke up, the doctor came and confirmed there was nothing serious. Fang Pingying then told Qiu Xiu that the few women would head back, leaving Zhiyong to stay behind.

Seeing that Luo Dahu had stabilized, Qiu Xiu also agreed. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
