Chapter 235 I Have No Money

"It's open! The door's open!"

Su Laosan, who had his back to the door of the emergency room, suddenly turned around and looked over when he heard the noise.

Boss Su also straightened up nervously and looked at the slowly opening door.

The doctor walked out quickly from inside.

Li Banxia sat on the bench, her hands gripping the armrests tightly until her fingertips turned white, her eyes fixed on the doctor who came out.

Old Su rushed over and called out, "Doctor, how is Su Hongying?"

The doctor subconsciously stopped, took off his mask, glanced at the crowd looking at him, and smiled slightly.

"A close call, but no real danger."

Li Banxia's eyes lit up instantly, "Then..."

"...But the mother's body was severely depleted after childbirth. Fortunately, she had a good constitution and was able to pull through. She will be observed in the intensive care unit for 24 hours. If there are no symptoms, she can be transferred to a regular ward," the doctor explained with a smile.

"I knew it!"

Su Laosan punched his fist, grinned, and turned to look at Li Banxia, ​​saying, "Mom, see what I told you? Evil lives on forever. Su Hongying survived. She's like a cat, she has nine lives!"

Li Banxia let out a trembling breath and stood up, gripping the armrest of the chair.

Su Laoda helped her up, "Mom, it's alright now. Hongying pulled through, and things will definitely turn around from here."

His legs were also feeling a little weak.

The doctor's serious face when he first came out made him think...

Thank goodness! May the great man have blessed us.

Li Banxia hummed in agreement.

"Zhang Haijun!"

The nurse came out again and handed Zhang Haijun a payment slip. "Go and pay your wife's surgery fee. Remember to deposit some money in advance for the surgical gown, one day's cost in the ICU, and at least three more days of observation in a regular ward. Just to be on the safe side, I suggest you stay for at least a week."

"Huh? I have to pay more?"

Zhang Haijun's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He pursed his lips and looked at Li Banxia.

"Mom, all the money my parents have saved over the years has gone towards my brother and me getting married. They just paid another bill for the kids, so they definitely don't have any money left. Mom, please pay for Hongying. Hongying always says you make money easily and quickly..."

"Zhang Haijun, what did you say!" Su Laosan walked over and stared at him. "Say it again if you dare!"

Zhang Lao Er muttered from the side, "Shouldn't she be the one to pay? She signed that damn surgical risk consent form, who else would pay it if not her?"

Upon hearing this, the woman turned and glared at Zhang Lao Er.

She couldn't help but berate herself, "I've never been loved before. How desperate for love must I be to be fooled by such a scumbag's sweet words and marry such trash!"

Zhang Lao Er, "..."

"Fan Liangyu, who are you calling trash?"

The woman yelled, "You're trash! Trash! Trash!"

"You bitch, I'm your man! You dare insult me? Believe me or not, I'll slap you to death..."

Zhang Lao Er gestured as if he wanted to make a move, but the woman didn't tolerate him at all and raised her hand to slap him.

“Perfect, that’s my specialty, hands-on.”

Zhang Lao Er glared and yelled, threatening to hit the woman. A policeman rushed over and one of them tried to break up the fight.

Over here, Su Laosan looked at Zhang Haijun with a sneer, "You gave birth to a child for your Zhang family, but you don't want your wife anymore? Zhang Haijun, do the people in your factory know about your shameless behavior? Why don't I go and spread rumors for you, and see if your factory leaders will still let someone with such a depraved character become a workshop director?"

Zhang Haijun's expression changed, his face tensed, and he clenched his fists as he looked at Su Laosan, "What do you want to do?"

"Go pay the money!" Old Su glanced at his clenched fist and spat.

Zhang Haijun, with a sullen face, met Su Laosan's gaze and said, "It's no use for you to force me. I give my salary to my mother as soon as it's paid. I really don't have any money."

"Hey."

Su Laosan was so angry he wanted to beat someone up, but Su Laoda stopped him.

Su Laoda yelled at Zhang Haijun, "As a man, you have your own little family, yet you give all your salary to your mother. Have you ever thought about what you two will eat and drink? Where will your expenses come from? My younger sister lives with her parents, and my mother, raising four sons and two daughters on her own, has never stopped giving us pocket money. Zhang Haijun, a woman marries for food and clothing, and you can't even meet the most basic requirements. Why did you get married in the first place?! What was the point of telling us all those plans to treat Hongying well for the rest of your life and ensure she has no worries about food and clothing?!"

"Pooh!"

Su Laosan spat and called out to Su Laoda, "Brother, there's no point in talking to him about this. He doesn't treat his wife like family at all. The whole family ganged up on Su Hongying, treating her like an outsider. And they even gave her pocket money? They didn't even want to save her life! If we hadn't come over, we would have received the news today that she and her unborn child had died!"

Su Laosan got angrier and angrier as he talked, and kicked Zhang Haijun, yelling, "You bastard, are you treating Su Hongying like a Japanese?!"

Zhang Haijun stumbled, but luckily there was a wall behind him, and he steadied himself by grabbing the wall.

"Go ask your mother for money to pay Su Hongying's fees. If you don't pay today, believe me, I'll tear your Zhang family apart!"

Su Laosan pointed at Zhang Haijun and gave a ferocious smile, "Later, I'll have someone write down all the dirty things your family has done and post them on your work unit's bulletin board one by one."

Zhang Haijun clenched his fist, glanced at the police, and turned away with a cold face.

"If you don't come with the money, I'll beat you to death." Old Su San followed.

The lead police officer was still worried, so he pointed to the remaining officer and said, "You go and follow him, but don't cause any trouble downstairs."

"Yes, boss."

The three of them went to the neonatal intensive care unit and saw Zheng Xiulan looking at a baby lying inside with a loving expression. Zhang Haijun paused for a moment.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" Old Su shoved him.

The police officer sighed, and seeing that Zhang Haijun had only staggered forward a couple of times and was otherwise unharmed, he didn't bother with him anymore.

Hearing the noise behind her, Zheng Xiulan turned around and saw Zhang Haijun stop in front of her.

Behind him followed the menacing Su Laosan and a policeman.

Zheng Xiulan frowned and looked at Zhang Haijun, "Why did you bring them here?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, his breath hitched slightly, and his eyes widened.

"No, could it be that Su Hongying is gone?"

If Su Hongying were gone, she'd probably be going to jail.

Zheng Xiulan's face turned pale instantly.

Zhang Haijun was about to explain when Su Laosan spat, "Even if you die, she won't die! You old hag..."

The police could only offer a slight cough as a reminder.

Zheng Xiulan: "...What do you mean? You're not dead? Then what are you doing here?"

Zhang Haijun's face was extremely ugly.

"The person has been saved. The nurses are asking us to pay: the surgery fees, the cost of one day in the ICU, and the cost of at least three days in a regular ward..."

Zhang Haijun was about to hand over the payment slip when Zheng Xiulan said, "I don't have any money. They signed the surgery consent form. She's Li Banxia's daughter; she has to pay for it herself. If she doesn't have money, she shouldn't be in the ICU. Just take her back to her parents' house..."
