Text/Shi Jin (Material/Liang Gui)
The man's name is Liang Gui, a native of Meishan, Sichuan, and since he was diagnosed with a brain tumor a year ago, he has lost a lot of weight.
In just one month, he has aged many years, and his sixties look at least seventy.
On this day, Liang Gui's wife Li Min brought food from the canteen and came to Liang Gui's ward with a sad face.
In order not to let Liang Gui find out, she adjusted her emotions and entered the ward with a different expression.
"Husband, it's time to get up and eat! Today's food in the hospital cafeteria is good, I gave you braised pork and spicy chicken, both of which you like to eat."
Liang Gui got up and took the lunch box, he didn't start eating immediately, but put the lunch box on the cabinet next to him.
Seeing this, Li Min asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
When Liang Gui heard this, he sighed and said, "Wife, tell me the truth, are there any other complications of my disease besides brain tumor?"
When Xu Min heard this, he explained: "That's all there is to it! The doctor said that it is benign and can be recovered only if you cooperate with the operation, why do you want to do so much?"
"By the way, Xiaozhi has already called us for medical expenses, you don't have to worry about this at all, these tens of thousands of yuan, we will give him back in the future."
When Liang Gui heard this, he sighed: "Wife, don't hide this from me anymore! I have already learned about my condition from Dr. Wu, in addition to this benign brain tumor, is there any problem with my heart?"
"I don't think this is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands can solve all problems!"
When Xu Min heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "So you know everything! Don't worry about this matter, Xiaolan has already told our son-in-law that they can make up 100,000 yuan for us, and in addition to this part of the money, your eldest nephew can also make up 100,000 yuan for you, plus our savings over the years are enough."
Liang Gui was silent for a while when he heard this, and just when Xu Min thought he had accepted this fact, he suddenly said, "Wife, you will go to the hospital for me to get a discharge certificate later!"
"Get out of the hospital?"
Xu Min exclaimed.
After that, she asked again, "What are you doing when you are discharged from the hospital?
Liang Gui looked up at Xu Min and said, "Wife, if it's just a benign tumor, it's fine, but my heart problem is very serious, and the money spent at that time will be more than your 200,000, and it is not easy for my daughter to save money when she gets married, I don't want her and her son-in-law to have conflicts because of this money."
"And Ash too, I don't want him to spend money."
"I have already asked Dr. Wu, and he said that my condition is relatively rare, even if I have surgery, it may not be successful, don't spend money and have not recovered, so won't it even affect you?"
When Xu Min heard him say this, he comforted: "Why are you thinking so much now? In order to treat you, our daughter and your eldest nephew are willing to pay for you, how can you live up to their wishes?"
Liang Gui sighed deeply when he heard this.
He said, "That is what I said, but I can't even burden them, this money is not a decimal, it is all spent on me, and I can't bear it."
"That's the end of this matter, you will go to the hospital for me to go through the discharge procedures in the afternoon, and I don't want to drag you down as long as I can live when I go home."
"If you don't do it, I'll do it myself."
Liang Gui's attitude was very resolute, it seemed that he already knew some inside information, Xu Min originally wanted to hide it from Liang Gui first, no matter what, he did the tumor surgery first and then consider other things, but he never thought that Liang Gui would know everything.
The two have been married for so many years, she knows Liang Gui's temper, as long as it is something he believes, eight cows can't pull it back.
Seeing that Liang Gui was so resolute, she could only go to the hospital to go through the discharge procedures for him, Xu Min knew that even if she didn't go, Liang Gui would go by himself, no matter what the reason was, he would leave by himself.
……。
After returning home, Liang Gui's psychological pressure was much less, and he may not be so optimistic about recuperating at home, but he was happy at the thought of spending less money.
Liang Gui's family conditions are not good, only one daughter is still married far away, for the happiness of his daughter, he can't ask for this money.
He is a very rational person, and he knows that although his son-in-law agrees with his daughter to give him 100,000 yuan for medical expenses, this is only for now, and if something happens in the future, this 100,000 yuan will definitely become a shackle for his daughter.
In addition to his daughter, and then his sister's son Ash, although Ash is also his eldest nephew, he can't bear to spend his eldest nephew's money.
Liang Gui has loved his eldest nephew since he was a child, and if he let his eldest nephew be in debt, this is something he doesn't want to see anyway.
After all consideration, Liang Gui decided to go home to recuperate, as for other things, he didn't care about other things, how long he could live, at least so that his daughter and eldest nephew didn't have to worry about money.
Time flickered, and Liang Gui stayed at home for about a month.
Maybe it's because of his good mentality, his complexion is better during this time, his body is recovering well, and he even works in the field in order to strengthen his exercise, which doesn't look like he's sick at all.
On this day, Liang Gui led the ox and prepared to plow his own land.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xu Min running in a hurry.
Seeing this, Liang Gui asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"It just so happens that you go to the field with me, and I can't be busy alone."
Xu Min ran over and said eagerly: "Don't worry about this for now, the wall of our old house has collapsed, you can go and take a look."
Liang Gui was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "The wall of our old house has fallen?"
"Is our mom okay?"
Although he lives in the same village, Liang Gui's mother has not lived with him since the family split up and built a house, but has been living in the old house.
His mother is also in her eighties! How can such a thing not make him nervous, and he is worried that something will happen.
Xu Min shook his head and said, "Our mother is fine, I was in the vegetable field with her before the wall collapsed, can you go over and take a look?"
Liang Gui didn't dare to delay, he found a cow and tied it to a tree, and then hurriedly came to his old house with Xu Min.
When I took a closer look, I found that not only did the east and west walls collapse, but even the tile beams on them also fell, and the whole house was crooked.
You can't live like this!
Liang Gui saw his mother standing at the gate, and hurriedly ran up to ask, "Mom, are you okay?"
Liang Gui's mother, Li Xiulian, saw her son's face full of concern and inquiry, and immediately said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that this old house can't be lived! The tiled house that your grandfather and they built all their lives has now become like this."
Liang Gui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He said: "This old house is too old! Many of the wooden walls have rotted away, and they will collapse when they collapse."
"That's right, where can you go to live with me, I have been unwilling to let you go to live before, and now you can always go and live, right?"
When Li Xiulian heard this, she sighed: "Where can you go if you don't go now?"
"By the way, there are still some of my old furniture and clothes under the ruins of this old house, you have time to help me clean them out, and it's a pity to bury them underneath like this."
As long as Li Xiulian can go over to live, Liang Gui will agree to anything.
He nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this! I will move all the houses in this house for you, and now our old house has also become a dangerous house, and if we don't tear it all down, it will not be good to drop things and hit others in the future."
"Since I can't live in it anymore, I simply demolished all the old houses, and the wood and bricks in it are still somewhat useful."
Li Xiulian didn't stop Liang Gui, she just told Liang Gui to carry out her previous dowry cabinets.
After getting Liang Gui's consent, she left the old house with her daughter-in-law Xu Min and came to Liang Gui's new house to settle down.
With the orders of the old mother, Liang Gui did not dare to delay, he temporarily put aside the ploughing work and began to clean up the waste bricks and tiles that had collapsed from the old house.
This clean-up is three days.
One afternoon three days later, Liang Gui was cleaning up the ruins under his old house when he suddenly found an iron box under a piece of broken bricks.
This iron box is covered in rust and looks like it should have been there for years!
Liang Gui didn't pay special attention to this iron box because it was chic, he picked it up and threw it into the scrap iron pile next to it.
The iron box tumbled a few times after hitting the ground, and its lid suddenly opened, and a round golden bowl rolled out of it.
Liang Gui was just about to bend down to pick up other things, but he accidentally saw this scene, and he was also stunned by such an unexpected joy.
He took three steps and two steps, and quickly ran to the side of the iron box to pick up the golden round bowl that had rolled out, and there was a hint of ecstasy in his eyes.
This golden bowl can be seen from its appearance alone.
The exterior of the gold bowl is covered with gold thread patterns, and the core of these patterns is covered with colorful gemstones, although these gems look only the size of beans, but they are extremely luxurious, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary objects.
This golden bowl, how to look at how luxurious, the more closely you look, Liang Gui's hand is about to shake, such workmanship and materials, how much does it cost to buy?
Thinking of this, Liang Gui hurriedly turned his head and looked around.
Luckily, there was no one nearby.
After Liang Gui stuffed the golden bowl into his arms, he didn't want to continue cleaning up the ruins of the old house!
……。
"Wife, come over quickly, I'll show you something good."
As soon as he entered the house, Liang Gui pulled Xu Min to the bedroom.
Xu Min asked with some confusion: "Husband, what's wrong with you?
Liang Gui smiled when he heard this, and explained: "I'm happier than picking up the money!
After Liang Gui closed the door, he carefully took out the golden bowl from his arms, and said, "Wife, look at what this is? This is a golden bowl, and then look at these gems on it, do you think you are more happy than picking up money?"
With that, Liang Gui handed the golden bowl in his hand to Xu Min.
Xu Min took the golden bowl and looked at it several times, and said in disbelief: "Husband, this thing is so exquisite, it is estimated that it can be sold for a lot of money, right?"
Liang Gui said: "I don't know yet, but I think it should be worth a lot of money, I didn't expect that there are such good things in our old house, and I haven't heard our mother talk about it before."
Xu Min thought for a while and said: "I guess our mother doesn't know, if she knows, how can she not tell us? I guess this thing is passed down from the ancestors, hidden in the old mansion and forgotten to take it out for the younger generations, if the old mansion didn't collapse, I guess no one would know about its existence."
Liang Gui nodded again and again after hearing this, Xu Min's explanation was in line with his intentions, he also thought so, if Li Xiulian really knew, she would not not say it.
Xu Min looked at the golden bowl in his hand and asked thoughtfully, "Husband, what are you going to do with this thing?"
Liang Gui heard Xu Min ask, scratched his head and said: "I haven't thought about this yet! This golden bowl doesn't look like an ordinary golden bowl, I think it should be an antique, but I don't know anyone in this area, so I can only go to someone to inquire first."
When Xu Min heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "You are really confused! Who said that you don't know acquaintances in this area? Isn't your eldest nephew studying archaeology? Just let him find someone to ask!"
When Liang Gui heard this, he immediately slapped his head and said with a wry smile: "Oh, how did I forget about this matter? I'll call him and ask him to help ask if there is any acquaintance in this area, and let him identify it first."
Liang Gui said that, then took out the phone and called his eldest nephew Chen Zhi.
After hearing this, Chen Zhi readily agreed to Liang Gui's request, and asked him to wait for two days first, and he helped ask if there was a boss who was willing to buy this thing.
At the same time, Chen Zhi came over to take a look first, if the thing was true, he also had a bottom in his heart, and he couldn't let others run in vain.
Two days later, Chen Zhi came to his uncle Liang Gui's house, and Liang Gui also happily handed the golden bowl to Chen Zhi and asked him to help identify it.
After Chen Zhi's identification, the golden bowl that Liang Gui picked up in the old mansion is likely to be real, and the only doubt is that Chen Zhi can't determine the authenticity of the gems on it, so he has to go to a professional first.
Liang Gui was very relieved of Chen Zhi, and asked him to take the things away and find someone to identify them, and sell them as much as he could.
Chen Zhi was also not polite, and after giving Liang Gui a few words of assurance, he took the golden bowl away.
Two weeks later, Chen Zhi came to his uncle Liang Gui's house again.
"Uncle, I sold your golden bowl! I have found someone to identify the gems on it, most of them are real, and only a small part is counterfeit from broken jade."
"But even so, the value of this golden bowl is still very high, I asked someone to find the boss in Guangdong, and the other party is willing to pay 500,000 yuan to buy it."
"With my unremitting efforts, the Golden Bowl was sold for 600,000 yuan, and this bag contains 600,000 yuan in cash and the receipts issued by the other party, uncle and aunt, you can take a look."
Chen Zhi said that, and put the bag on the table, revealing a bundle full of cash.
When Liang Gui saw so much money, his calves weakened and he almost collapsed to the ground, so much money, he had never seen it in his life.
After a while, Liang Gui recovered, he picked up one of the bundles of cash and handed it to Chen Zhi, and said, "Xiaozhi, this 100,000 yuan is for you, you have been busy in the past few days."
Seeing this, Chen Zhi refused with a smile: "Uncle, you need this money more than me now, I made up 100,000 yuan for you some time ago, you don't need it, now that you have this money, you shouldn't feel distressed, right?"
"Uncle, if you want me to go for surgery, it's okay for you to drag it like this?"
Liang Gui seemed to want to refuse, and Xu Min next to him hurriedly said: "Ash is right, you may not spend all the money, you go for surgery, and the rest is for Xiaolan and Ash."
Liang Gui didn't want to waste the money, but his wife Xu Min disagreed.
He thought that the money was also for nothing, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to the matter.
In this way, Liang Gui entered the hospital again.
A month later, Liang Gui underwent surgery, which was a success, and there were no accidents, and he recuperated in the hospital for half a year before being discharged.
600,000 has not been spent, and there are 180,000 left.
For the rest of the money, Liang Gui is going to give his eldest nephew 80,000 yuan to repay him for his busy time during this time.
But when Liang Gui came to Chen Zhi's house, he found out that the house Chen Zhi had bought before had been sold.
Under Liang Gui's questioning, Chen Zhicai frankly admitted that the reason why he sold the house was mainly to make up for Liang Gui's medical expenses.
Liang Gui's golden bowl was actually a fake, and that thing was worthless.
It's just a craft.
Liang Gui thought that the golden bowl had been sold, but he didn't expect it to be still in the hands of his nephew Chen Zhi.
The moment he saw Chen Zhi take out the golden bowl, he understood everything.
Two months ago, Chen Zhi suddenly thought of a good way to let Liang Gui go for surgery obediently after seeing the golden bowl.
So, there is the aftermath.
After hearing this, Liang Gui cried: "Xiaozhi, why are you doing this! Uncle, I'm sorry for you!"
Chen Zhi helped Liang Gui up.
Said seriously: "Uncle, your health is more important than anything else, I am still young, and I will earn it after the house is gone, you still remember that thirty years ago, our family lacked food and clothing, and there was no money to buy meat for the New Year, so you sent us ten catties of pork."
"I keep your affection in my heart!"
"I can't tell you how many years it takes."
