Chapter 928 Cancer? Really! But I Won't Die 13

Ning Yan opened the door and let the person into the yard. Li Li was still yelling, "You extorted my money and dared to ruin my business. Today you have to compensate me for all my losses!"

Ning Yan didn't utter a sound, picked up the stick and started hitting Li Li!

"Ah! Stop! How dare you hit someone!"

The only response she received was Ning Yan's heavy swing of the stick. "Ah~" Li Li covered her arm and quickly dodged, finally managing to run to the door, open it, and escape.

"Ning Yan, you took my hush money. Give it back to me right now, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!"

"You want money? I'm out. I've taken my medicine. Go ahead and call the police!"

That attitude was one of utter arrogance and fearlessness.

It's only two thousand yuan, and given her current state and Li Li's criminal record, what should we do if we call the police and see if they take any action?

"You, you even swore that your whole family would die..."

Ning Yan didn't care at all, "Yeah, may my whole family die."

Li Li choked. Did she have some kind of obsession with the death of her entire family? Did she want to take her whole family with her when she died?

"No wonder you got cancer, you're really despicable!"

Ning Yan chuckled and said, "Should I also wish your whole family dies?"

This brat is always spouting nonsense about her whole family dying; who can stand that?

"Pah, pah, pah, Ning Yan, you just wait..."

Ning Yan raised the stick in her hand, scaring Li Li so much that she didn't dare to utter any more threats and slunk away.

Hearing the commotion, the aunt next door came out to see what was going on. "What? She still has the nerve to come looking for you?"

My God, I can't even imagine. She swindled 160,000 yuan from Yanwazi over six years. Even if my own child is bored out of their mind, I wouldn't dare go out with such a heartless person. What if she gets desperate and sells the girl?

Ning Yan nodded: "It's okay, she can't withstand my beating. Anyway, I don't have many days left to live. If I die, at least I'll have someone to keep me company!"

A hint of pity appeared in the aunt's eyes. This child was truly pitiful. He had never enjoyed any happiness since childhood, and at such a young age, he contracted such a deadly disease.

"Don't keep bringing it up all the time, it might get better someday."

"It's getting windy, you should go back inside and rest."

Ning Yan smiled, accepting her aunt's kindness. She turned around and closed the door. Feeling good after hitting someone, she rummaged through the Divine Palace and pulled out a bunch of ingredients to cook some good dishes for herself that evening.

...

More than three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Qiang returned home for summer vacation and brought his girlfriend back with him.

Ning Shiya and his wife were very happy. Their future daughter-in-law's family was well-off, and the girl was beautiful. However, the girl's family was asking for too much: a dowry of 188,000 yuan, three gold pieces, and an apartment. Nowadays, young people are unwilling to return to the village to live; they all want to live in the city.

When Ning Qiang told the couple about it, it really worried them.

"Our family can only afford the bride price at most. Even a three-bedroom apartment would cost several hundred thousand yuan. How could we afford that?"

Ning Qiang panicked, "What should we do? My girlfriend is pregnant, almost two months along. If our family doesn't agree to her conditions, she'll definitely have an abortion."

"Don't hit her! Absolutely don't hit her! I heard someone say the other day that there's a really rich family in the city whose daughter-in-law had an abortion, and now she can't have children anymore. They've been married for seven years and don't have a single child. The young couple is getting a divorce now."

"You have to give the woman a large sum of money to get a divorce, otherwise she won't agree to it."

"But she definitely won't marry me if we can't afford a house."

Zhang Huaihua couldn't help but feel annoyed: "It's all your sister's fault. If she hadn't been asking us for money for medical treatment all these years, our family wouldn't be in such a tight situation. With the money we gave her, we could have made enough for a down payment on a house."

She didn't even consider whether spending four or five thousand a month on her son's school fees was excessive, or that spending a single penny on her daughter was unacceptable.

Ning Shiya: "It's really strange. Didn't they say she only had three months to live? How come she's still alive after four years?"

"Is her illness real or fake? Or is she just lying to us?"

"How about we take her to the hospital for a checkup? What if she's lying to us..."

Thinking back to those two nights when Ning Yan was sharpening a knife on his bed like a madwoman in the middle of the night, if she really was lying, he wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson.

"But what if it's true?"

Ning Qiang: "Impossible! How could someone with late-stage lung cancer live for another four years?"

Four years, five thousand a month, that's more than two hundred thousand! That's more than what she gives to her family. It's a waste to give it to her.

Ning Shiya thought it over and over, and finally gritted his teeth, "Tomorrow I'll have her come to the city for a checkup. If she's not sick at all, then make her return the money. If she doesn't listen, just marry her off." He could even get a dowry in return!

That very night, Ning Yan received orders to wait at the entrance of the county hospital the next day.

What else could Ning Yan do? Those who pay are the bosses, so of course she obediently went.

When she arrived, Zhang Huaihua was already there.

Upon seeing her arrive, he simply kept a cold expression and didn't even glance at Ning Yan: "Let's go."

Zhang Huaihua made an appointment for Ning Yan and then began various examinations.

Ning Yan couldn't help but laugh when she saw the pained look on Zhang Huaihua's face as she paid the money. The preliminary results wouldn't be available until tomorrow, and the pathology examination would take three to seven days. So, after the examination, Zhang Huaihua left.

Before leaving, Ning Yan extorted 400 yuan for her meal, and Zhang Huaihua's expression was absolutely ferocious!

Ning Yan didn't care how sour her expression was; getting the money was the only thing that mattered.

After leaving the hospital, she went to see her best friend.

In four years, Wang Yong'an has changed a lot. Not only has he become fairer-skinned, but his child has also become more introverted.

He used to call Ning Yan "sister" all the time, but after they got to know each other better and he found out that Ning Yan was actually two years younger than him, he became awkward. He would never call her "sister" again, and when he occasionally asked Ning Yan to go out, he would talk very little, but he became more and more considerate.

Later, when he asked Ning Yan out again, she would make excuses to decline. After that, the two would occasionally chat on WeChat and rarely meet in person.

When he saw her appear in the shop, Wang Yong'an's eyes lit up: "Still the same three liang of leek and sour soup dumplings, right?"

Ning Yan nodded: "Two more side dishes, please. I didn't eat this morning and I'm hungry."

"Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be here shortly."

When Wang Yong'an brought the dishes over, Ning Yan invited, "There's no one in the restaurant right now, why don't you eat something with us?"

"Okay, do you want a drink? I'll get two bottles of beer. It's hot today, so something cold will feel good."

"Then let's have a drink." It seemed like she hadn't had alcohol in a long time.

Wang Yong'an took out four more bottles of chilled beer from the freezer, opened them with chopsticks, and poured a glass for each of them.

When did you learn to drink alcohol?

Wang Yong'an casually said, "Do you even need to learn this? You just need to grow a mouth to know how."

Ning Yan smiled and didn't say anything more, then raised her glass and clinked it with his.

After downing a beer, Wang Yong'an asked, "By the way, what brought you to the city today?"

"Oh, I went to the hospital for a checkup."

"What's wrong? Are you sick? Where does it hurt?"

"No, I'm fine everywhere. It's just that my mom is worried and insists on getting me checked out."
