Chapter 286 Cat Thief

The blind woman was sent to the hospital emergency room. The doctor's initial diagnosis was myocardial infarction. The cause may be that eating too much at once caused reflex spasm of the coronary arteries. Failure to take timely measures eventually led to sudden myocardial infarction.

The son sat on the bench outside the emergency room and buried his face in his hands. He had just had a big argument with his sister about paying.

When it came time to hand over the money, he wanted to share half the money with his sister. My sister was not happy, saying that you are my son, my mother has lived with you, and you have to pay for the medical treatment. He said before coming here, didn't we agree to be a family? My sister said that we have to wait until my mother is discharged from the hospital and all insurance reimbursements are removed, then the total amount will be divided between the two. Besides, what are you afraid of? Mom’s house is still there, and there are cats at home. At worst, the money you get from killing the cats will be deducted from my share.

After arguing for a long time, the people at the hospital couldn't stand it anymore, so they came over to persuade me. The siblings also felt that it was quite embarrassing, so the elder sister excused herself to pick up the child and went back first.

He was waiting on a bench outside the emergency room.

The old lady was usually fine, and he didn't think anything was wrong. Whether he went to eat, drink or get red envelopes during the holidays, or go to the old lady's place to get some gas money from time to time, he took it for granted. Cheating old man, isn’t this the case now!

But the old lady really fell down, and he suddenly panicked. It's like holding my mother's hand while shopping when I was a child. As I walked, I found that my hand had been let go at some point, my mother had disappeared, and the streets were full of strangers like a tidal wave. He stood in the middle of the street at a loss, opened his mouth and cried.

In the middle of the night, the nurse came out with a slip: "Your mother's condition is very unstable and she needs to be admitted to the ICU for observation. Please go and pay first."

He took the order and looked over it several times: "How much, how much?"

The nurse said: "About 5,000 a day. It depends on her condition and the doctor's medication. Ten thousand a day is normal. You can pay 50,000 first."

His hands trembled and he asked carefully: "Can medical insurance reimburse me?"

The nurse said, "I don't know about this. You go ask the service desk and pay the money quickly, otherwise we won't be able to deliver it."

He flopped back into his chair. Although he usually drives a car like a naughty person, he really can't come up with fifty thousand yuan at once. He had lost all his personal money, and his wife was in charge of the money at home, so he couldn't get a penny, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to the old lady to get gas money.

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call his daughter-in-law. The unit where her daughter-in-law worked was very close to the hospital and she could be there in a few minutes. But he knew that his wife would never spend so much money to treat the old lady. She wished that the old lady would die soon so that she could inherit the house.

He wanted to call his sister, but the brother and sister had just had a quarrel and it was impossible to come back to pay his mother.

He thought about it and thought of the cat in the old lady's house.

"Nurse, I don't have enough money with me. I have to go back to get money." He said.

"Okay, hurry up then. Your mother's condition is not very good and she can't afford to wait." The nurse said.

He hurried out and stopped halfway. Remembering the nurse's words, he called his wife. My daughter-in-law scolded me on the phone, asking her if she was sick, she would have to pay 50,000 yuan, if she lost money in gambling, how far away she was from death, and so on. He talked hard and made things clear. My daughter-in-law said, just wait, I will come right away and stay in the hospital and you are not allowed to leave.

He was waiting at the hospital, and after a while, his wife came. He gave the order to his wife and asked her to pay. The daughter-in-law said with a stern face, why, if she wanted to pay, she would have to pay it with her sister, unless she could get the old lady’s real estate certificate. He said you put down the money first. Mom has a cat at home. If I kill it, I will get the money.

The wife raised her hand and slapped him on the head several times. Is there a cat? You didn’t tell me there was a cat! How many cats does the old lady have? Did all the money go out for a romantic affair behind my back?

He curled his neck and allowed his wife to beat and scold him, begging, please stop beating her. My mother had a cat. She just picked it up, and I just found out about it.

When my wife was tired from beating her, she said, "Go quickly. You have to bring all the money you get. You are not allowed to gamble, and you are not allowed to give it to your sister." He said I know, please pay the hospital bills quickly. My wife said you can go ahead and leave this place to me. Don’t forget to look for the old lady’s real estate certificate after finishing the cat.

And he left. As he was leaving, he heard someone asking his wife, "Do you still have cats at home? Cats are valuable now." The daughter-in-law said happily, "Hey, we don't have much money. Look, our old lady fell ill just to raise a cat. The money from killing the cat may not be enough to cure the disease." Others would say, well, as people get older, they no longer have the ability to figure things out. Alas, it’s hard for you to be your children...

When he came out of the hospital, he was very upset. I was driving and stopped at a red light intersection. I was stunned for a moment. I didn't even see the light turn green, and the car behind me started honking wildly. When he got angry, he stepped on the accelerator and went out. At the next red light intersection, he almost ran into a little girl who ran a red light. He rolled down the window and was about to curse, "You can't walk without eyes, you're running for a funeral." This was something he was used to scolding, but suddenly he remembered the word "going for a funeral," and his heart tightened, so he drove away quickly.

It was already dark when we arrived at the community where my mother lived. It's hard to find parking spaces in this old community, especially after get off work. He wandered around for a long time, finally parked the car, and walked towards the old lady's house, shaking the key three times in his hand.

When he was approaching the door of his house, he saw a man and a woman walking towards him. The light from the street lamp was not very bright and I couldn't see my face clearly. The man wore a chicken coop and an old windbreaker. It had been a cold autumn for a long time. He also wore leggings on his feet, making him tap-tap as he walked. The woman has short hair and a cowboy appearance, and if she hadn't occasionally shown a charming smile when she was around the man, I wouldn't have known she was a woman.

The two people looked very strange, so he looked at them a few more times. The man and woman seemed to glance at him, as if they knew him. He heard a crow crow above him, and in a daze he heard a cat meowing.

Entering the house, he saw several cat footprints on the table. He laughed, thinking that the cat must have gotten hungry and ran out on its own. He entered the room, lifted up the sheets, took out several shoe boxes under the bed, and opened them one by one, but found no cat. He knelt on the ground and looked under the bed again, taking a picture with his mobile phone. There was nothing there except a broken washbasin filled with sand.

He stood up, meowed, and searched all the rooms, but there was not even a trace of the cat. He checked the doors and windows. They were all locked and there was no way the cat could escape. The cat's paw prints on the table and the sandy basin with cat poop under the bed all confirmed that the mother did have a cat.

He suddenly remembered the man and woman he had just met and the sound of a cat meowing that seemed both real and imaginary.

It's broken. Could it be a cat thief?

With this thought in mind, he quickly chased after her.
