I went back to 74 and awakened the Godly Rich System

Chapter 126 125. Considerate
"Don't be disgusted by the country food," said my uncle.

Du Chuan quickly said, "It's already very good. Uncle, please sit down and eat something with us."

The uncle waved his hand and said, "I'm not hungry. You guys eat first. I'll go arrange a place for you to sleep tonight."

Du Chuan knew that his uncle and his family were reluctant to eat it. Rural areas are indeed not well off now, so they have to be frugal with food.

Just when Du Chuan and his friends were halfway through their meal, their second uncle came over and said that grandpa had woken up and asked them to go over and check on him.

Du Chuan and the others quickly put down their chopsticks and came to the bed. Looking at their grandfather with a painful look on his face, Du Chuan felt a little uncomfortable when he was able to recognize him at a glance.

Not daring to disturb grandpa for too long, after saying a few words, Du Chuan and the others left first.

"Dad, what's the condition of grandpa?" Du Chuan pulled his father aside and asked.

Du Chuan was not in a position to ask directly about these things, so he needed his father to speak.

"What else could it be? He's old and overworked, and suddenly he fell ill, and he can't hold on any longer." Father Du sighed while smoking a cigarette.

Du Chuan was somewhat helpless after hearing this, but after thinking for a while he said, "Dad, why don't you talk to my uncle and send grandpa to the hospital? At least this will reduce some of the pain."

This amount of money is naturally not a problem for Du Chuan, but this kind of matter is not something he can decide.

Instead, the consent of my uncle and others is needed, even my mother’s opinion cannot be given.

Father Du obviously understood this truth, "I'll go ask."

Then, he thought for a moment and said, "How much money did you bring with you?"

Du Chuan indicated that he was carrying the backpack beside him, "It will definitely be enough."

Father Du nodded, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me three hundred first."

Du Chuan gave three hundred yuan to his father, and then he saw his father pull his eldest uncle and second uncle aside, saying something to them, and then secretly stuffed the money into their hands.

The faces of my eldest and second uncles were filled with embarrassment, but they finally sighed and took the money.

Then they covered a donkey cart with several layers of quilts and carefully placed my grandfather on the cart.

Ever since grandpa fell ill, they have only been treating him in the commune's clinic, as they really have no money.

This time, Du Chuan and the others did not go with them, but stayed here, while Du's father and mother went over to help take care of them.

"Thank you." The eldest cousin came over and said.

Du Chuan asked in surprise: "What do you mean by thank you?"

"I saw it just now. It's not that we don't want to take grandpa to the hospital. First, the family has no money and we still owe foreign debts. Second, grandpa doesn't want to go." Liu Zhiyuan explained.

After seeing Du's father giving the money privately to his father and others, he of course knew what Du Chuan and others meant. This was to try their best to save their face in public.

Otherwise, if people find out, they don’t know what others will say about them.

Although everyone does this, it is embarrassing to tell others that the son did not want to take his father to the hospital but asked his daughter to pay for it.

Du Chuan handed over a cigarette and said, "We just did what we should do. Besides, you have been taking care of grandpa and his family for so many years. This can only be regarded as helping my mother to show filial piety."

Du Chuan couldn't say much about this matter.

Liu Zhiyuan took the cigarette and looked at it, feeling reluctant to smoke it. This was a pack of cigarettes, different from the tobacco leaves he usually smoked. Seeing this, Du Chuan handed over a box of cigarettes in his hand, "I seldom smoke, you take it."

Liu Zhiyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I seldom smoke either."

Du Chuan said: "I still have some in my bag, you can give them to the people who come to help."

Liu Zhiyuan took it with some embarrassment. Just when Du Chuan was about to say something to Liu Zhiyuan, he suddenly heard the heart-wrenching cry of a child.

"I'm hungry. I want to eat. I don't care. I just want to eat." A little boy of four or five years old shouted at the top of his voice, while a young woman next to him spanked his butt hard, but it didn't work at all.

The third and fourth brothers stood on the side, looking somewhat at a loss. Even the clever third brother didn't know what to do when faced with such a situation.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. This is my eldest son. Hey, he's a little naughty." Liu Zhiyuan said with a forced smile.

Du Chuan looked at the child, then looked at the two aggrieved little guys beside him, and sighed in his heart, knowing that the meal prepared today had all been given to their family.

"Brother, where is the black market here?" Du Chuan asked.

This time, Du Chuan only brought money but no food coupons or anything like that. He was already a little flustered when he came and didn't expect many things.

So if Du Chuan wanted to buy food, he could only go to the black market.

Liu Zhiyuan seemed to have guessed his thoughts. "No, no, there is enough food at home. This kid is just itching for trouble and is looking for a fight."

As he said this, he walked over with some annoyance and tried to manually stop his eldest son from crying.

Du Chuan quickly grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"There are so many of us here, and we need a lot to eat. Even if your family has a lot of food, it won't be enough for us."

"Okay, brother, listen to me. Let's go to the black market and buy some food. We can't let the children go hungry, otherwise we will be embarrassed to stay here."

When Liu Zhiyuan heard Du Chuan's words, he stopped pretending, but his expression was very embarrassed.

Although they did not expect Du Chuan's family to come, so the food prepared at home was not enough, but generally speaking, it was because there was no food left at home.

"Listen to me, otherwise how will the people in the village look at us? We come here and eat up all the food in our relatives' house, leaving them to starve?" Du Chuan said.

Liu Zhiyuan sighed and finally agreed. He certainly couldn't bear to see his son starve, but given his family's current situation, he had no choice but to let his son down.

As for themselves, they have been thinking about eating less these days, or just finding some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

"But the black market is only available in the county town, and it will not be available until tomorrow morning," said Liu Zhiyuan.

He was also familiar with these things. In the past, some of the grain distributed to his family from the production team would be sold on the black market.

Some people caught wild rabbits or pheasants in the countryside, but were reluctant to eat them at home, so they sold them on the black market for some money.

Du Chuan said: "Okay, come and call me tomorrow morning and we'll go together."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and didn't say anything more this time, but he felt more close to his relative Du Chuan.

He originally thought that these relatives from the city, and even from the capital, would look down on them, but from beginning to end, such a thing never happened.

What Du Chuan and his colleagues are doing now is to consider the problem from their perspective as much as possible and try not to make things difficult for them.
