Chapter 924 Cancer? Really! But I Won't Die 9

"What? You can get medical treatment even after being sentenced? The prison won't pay for it?"

"What a pipe dream! If that were true, someone with a terminal illness could just kill someone and turn themselves in. Not only would they not go to jail, but they'd also get medical treatment. Wouldn't that be amazing?"

Ning Shiya was truly frightened this time, and he took those words to heart.

What if that brat runs out of money for medicine and commits another crime, ends up in jail, and then the prison sends her to the hospital, and he'll have to spend a fortune on her medical treatment...

"How much would a month's worth of medicine cost for your illness?"

"The domestically produced ones cost more than 17,000 yuan a month."

The couple exclaimed in unison, "What?"

"How many?"

Ning Yan rolled her eyes. "It's only a little over five thousand after reimbursement! What, you think it's too expensive? Surgery is even more expensive, it'll cost over two hundred thousand." Hospitals don't recommend surgery for people in the original owner's condition, she was just trying to scare them.

"Hey, you don't even have enough money to buy medicine?"

"Well, I feel like I've given my salary home for six years, so you guys have to take care of me when I get sick."

Ning Shiya gritted his teeth: "I will definitely take care of it. Go get the money for the child's mother."

I just happened to withdraw money from the bank today to rent a place, so I'll give some to this brat to use first. I can't let anything happen to my son.

Zhang Huaihua hesitated for a while before taking out a wad of cash from the house. Ning Yan snatched it and carefully counted it; it was exactly five thousand yuan.

Alright, even a mosquito bite is still meat. This amount of money is enough for her to eat a lot of good food in the city.

"Don't act so stingy. Don't you even think about who earns this money?"

Zhang Huaihua: Go to hell! Once the money is in my hands, it's mine. If it weren't for you getting this crazy disease, I wouldn't have given you a single penny.

Perhaps because she had been out in town all day, Comrade Zhang Huaihua was tired. Dinner was simple: belt noodles and a cold platter of three different dishes.

Ning Yan stopped being picky about dinner so that she could live more comfortably for the rest of her life.

However, in the middle of the night, she went to Ning Qiang's room again and sharpened the kitchen knife.

Terrified, Ning Qiang huddled on the kang (a heated brick bed), wishing it would be dawn soon. He secretly vowed that as soon as it was light, he would go to the city with his parents and stay there that night, whether it was to work, set up a stall, or rent a room. He vowed that he would never come back.

The next day, Ning Yan woke up.

The house was quiet again.

Without a doubt, those three have gone into the city, and they probably won't be back today.

Ning Yan also went to the city. Aunt Wang's sour soup dumpling shop opens at nine o'clock, and she wants to eat the first bowl of sour soup dumplings at Aunt Wang's shop today.

Ning Yan boarded the bus into the city at seven o'clock and arrived at Aunt Wang's shop at eight-thirty.

The door isn't open yet.

Ning Yan sat down in the spot where the old beggar had sat yesterday.

Next door was a small supermarket. There was no one in the store at the moment. The owner came out to put out the mop and saw Ning Yan standing guard at the door. He said, "They open at nine o'clock sharp."

The few employees they hired actually slept in the shop, and they had to do preparations in the morning. The shop wouldn't open unless the boss came.

Ning Yan smiled and thanked her, "It's nothing, I'm not that hungry anyway."

"Young lady, why don't you come in and sit for a while? It's so sunny outside, but I have the air conditioning on in my shop."

The owner was a kind-looking man in his fifties, so Ning Yan didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Thank you very much."

"Hey, you're too kind."

Ning Yan followed the shop owner into the store. She bought a bottle of chilled drink, opened the lid and slowly drank it. The two chatted casually. "Uncle, judging from your accent, you're not a local."

"Yes, I'm from Hebei. My son works here and has settled down here, so he brought my wife and me here. I had nothing to do, so I opened a supermarket here to pass the time."

Where are you from?

Ning Yan: "They're locals. Is Aunt Wang next door from out of town too?"

"She's a true local; she lives in the Fuman residential area right in front of here."

My supermarket is rented from her shop; all three adjacent shops belong to her.

"Aunt Wang's family is quite well-off."

The boss said, "Sigh, every family has its own problems. Aunt Wang's family is rich, but that's all they have left. You know she has a child, right?"

"Know."

"If she hadn't been so focused on making money, the child wouldn't have been burned into a mentally disabled state."

Ning Yan: "Doesn't she have anyone to look after her child at home while she runs the shop?"

"Don't even mention it. The child was originally being cared for by the child's grandmother, but that old lady was so unreliable. She left the child in the room while she played mahjong with others. The child fell off the bed headfirst and was completely unconscious, but the old lady didn't even notice."

It wasn't until Aunt Wang's husband came home that he saw the child lying on the ground, bleeding heavily. After being taken to the hospital, the child was saved, but he was left mentally impaired. He's 24 now, but his intelligence is like that of a four or five-year-old.

Aunt Wang is also unlucky. Her husband wanted to have another child because her child couldn't be cured, but Aunt Wang refused to have another child no matter what.

And so, the couple got divorced.

A mother's love is always great.

Because Aunt Wang knew that once she had a second child, her eldest son would be even less valued.

If Ning Yan were Aunt Wang, she would not only get a divorce, but also make men extinct.

Didn't you say you didn't care about grandchildren? Then you should never have any grandchildren.

Didn't you want another healthy son? Then never have a second child.

Some people really don't deserve it.

Just then, the sound of a roller shutter door being pulled open came from next door. The owner pointed behind him and said, "They're here. Their nanny starts work at 8:30. She waits for the nanny to come, pushes the child downstairs to sunbathe, and then comes to the shop. She usually arrives around 9 o'clock."

Raising a child alone is truly not easy.

Ning Yan smiled, didn't ask any more questions about Aunt Wang, picked up her drink (which she had only taken two sips of), said a few words, and went next door.

"Boss lady, can you make dumplings right away?"

Aunt Wang was tidying up the counter. "Sure, sure, but you can't make the leek sprouts, but anything else is fine."

"Then let's have chive and sour soup dumplings, three ounces each."

"Okay, just a moment, it will be ready soon."

Having a bowl of fragrant sour soup dumplings first thing in the morning can instantly lift your spirits.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ning Yan strolled over to Fuman Residential Area with her half-empty bottle of beverage in her hand.

This residential area is quite large. There is a big garden in the community, with a pavilion, a playground for children, and a lot of fitness equipment for adults.

Ning Yan's gaze swept around the amusement park, and she quickly found her destination.

Ning Yan believed that good people should be rewarded, and she thought that Aunt Wang, who had helped the original owner of the body, was a good person.

Don't ask her what her criteria are; if she thinks it is, then it is; if she wants to do it, then she will.

The "boy" was very tall with slightly dark skin. Although he had the appearance of an adult, his expression was like that of a three-year-old child. At this moment, he was digging in the sand with a small plastic shovel. Next to him stood a middle-aged woman in her forties, who was watching him closely. That woman must be his family's nanny.
