When Zhang Huiyun saw Huang Yali, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes, "Xiao Huang, you're back."

"Hello, Aunt Gu!"

"Hello, Xiao Huang, come in."

Huang Yali was a little embarrassed, "Aunt Gu, I have something to ask Teacher Jiang Yao."

"Oh, then you guys chat."

Zhang Huiyun immediately added, "Xiao Huang, after you guys finish chatting, come find me. I have something to tell you."

Huang Yali nodded heavily, "Okay."

Huang Yali took Jiang Yao to an empty corner of the corridor and said, "Jiang Yao, I'm sorry, I don't know who to ask for help. You're the only wealthy friend around me. Could you lend me some money so I can return the betrothal gift to Ma Guoqiang first?"

"No."

Huang Yali looked surprised, "Why?"

Jiang Yao explained, "My mom has already given your dad some money to help you break off the engagement."

"Really!" Huang Yali couldn't help but widen her eyes, she was so unsure.

She didn't expect that someone who was not even related to her would help her pay the bride price.

She always felt it wasn't real.

"Of course it's true." Jiang Yao nodded heavily.

"How much did you give?"

"Probably 5,000 yuan," Jiang Yao replied.

Huang Yali was shocked again. She never expected that Gu would take such a large sum of money.

Her annual salary is less than 500 yuan. Even if she doesn't eat or drink, she won't be able to pay it off in ten years.

"But why would Aunt Gu help me?"

Jiang Yao stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Our whole family hopes you can be a family member."

"What!" Huang Yali exclaimed again.

But the next second, she calmed down immediately, "It's useless for you to like him, he doesn't like me."

Jiang Yao patted Huang Yali's shoulder and said, "Teacher Huang, what else do you have to worry about? Everyone in the Gu family is on your side."

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang Yao."

Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at Huang Yali and snorted, "You don't have to thank me, but you must think it over carefully, otherwise I'm afraid you will really regret it in the future."

"No." Huang Yali replied in a decisive voice, "I definitely won't."

She paused for a few seconds, "If I minded, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to chase him."

"Yeah! You're braver than me, you're awesome."

"Okay, my mother-in-law seems to be looking for you."

"Then I'll go back to the ward to find her."

"Go quickly."

Huang Yali returned to the ward and found Zhang Huiyun already waiting at the door.

"Aunt Gu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"You're welcome. Let's talk outside."

"Xiao Huang, now I just want to confirm one thing, whether you really like our Chen Xin, and whether you don't mind that he can't have children."

"No, Aunt Gu."

Huang Yali swallowed and said, "I heard from Jiang Yao that you gave my dad the 5,000 yuan betrothal gift. I will definitely find a way to pay you back."

Zhang Huiyun pretended to be angry and scowled, "Xiao Huang, no matter whether your relationship with Chen Xin succeeds or not, I will not ask you to pay me back."

"No, I will definitely write you an IOU when I get home."

"Xiao Huang, listen to me. Even if your plan doesn't work out, I'll just consider it as me paying for a daughter."

"This...that won't take that much."

Zhang Huiyun patted Huang Yali's hand and said, "Xiao Huang, to be honest, many girls have been attracted to our Chen Xin over the years, but after they found out that Chen Xin couldn't have children, most of them didn't continue. There were a few who didn't mind, but in the end, it still ended in nothing."

Huang Yali heard, "Aunt Gu, everyone's pursuit is different."

"I know they are both good girls. It is our Chen Xin who is unlucky. It is precisely because of our Chen Xin's lack of luck that Chen Xin met you."

Zhang Huiyun looked at Huang Yali seriously, "Xiao Huang, no matter what, whether you regret it or not in the future, I hope you can treat my Chen Xin well."

Huang Yali frowned helplessly, "Aunt Gu, it's not that I'm nice to him, he's not interested in me at all."

"Captain Zhang has told you his plan, right? Actually, this is my plan. Anyway, I will stay in Jiangcheng for a while. In addition to accompanying Yongkang and Yaoyao, I also want to help you capture Chen Xin."

"Aunt Gu, don't you dislike my family?"

Zhang Huiyun chuckled. "How could that be? As long as you two are fine, I naturally have no objection."

"Okay, I'm writing to my son now and telling him that you're getting married. If this guy really likes you, he'll definitely come back."

"Okay, Aunt Gu, I'll listen to you."

Zhang Huiyun was very pleased and felt that she had found another well-behaved daughter-in-law.

When Jiang Yao returned to the ward, she saw Zhang Huiyun's mouth stretched almost to her ears. "Mom, what's up?"

"Of course I have. I will soon have another daughter-in-law."

Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mom, are you helping Teacher Huang pursue my brother?"

"Of course, I'm 90% sure this time."

"Yaoyao, this time we can only succeed and not fail."

Jiang Yao nodded, "Okay, only success is allowed, no failure."

Zhang Huiyun patted Jiang Yao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, Mom is very happy to have a daughter-in-law like you."

"I know."

"That's fine. I have to stay at your house for at least a month. You can't kick me out."

"No! Mom, I really want you to come over, but our house is a bit simple, with only one bedroom."

Jiang Yao rolled her eyes. "Mom, after Yongkang is discharged from the hospital, we'll rent you a spacious house."

"No need to bother."

Jiang Yao refused, "No, how can I force you to live somewhere else?"

"Yaoyao, I just want to live with you guys. Do you think there's any other place in your house where I can build a room?"

Qiao Yongkang just came back and said, "Yaoyao, isn't our house very tall? Then we can build a small attic for him and we can live in the attic, and Mom can live in the bedroom."

"No need! Yaoyao is going to take the college entrance examination, so we can't do it this way."

"Mom, I can do it."

Zhang Huiyun's face immediately darkened. "If I say no, then no. You must stay in the bedroom, and I'll sleep in the attic. It's just a place to sleep anyway."

"Mom, let's discuss this after we're discharged from the hospital."

The next day, Qiao Yongkang was discharged from the hospital!

But there is still no news about Gao Qiang.

The police still found no evidence that Gao Qiang committed a crime.

"Mom, can you get used to living in an attic like this?" Jiang Yao asked.

Zhang Huiyun thought the attic was also a good place to stay. "There's nothing to be uncomfortable with. Anyway, Yongkang, you should just get started."

"Okay, Mom."
