Chapter 404 Rescue

Qin Zhigang suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Xiaoxia: "Lin Mei's sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated Lin Mei like that before. I was wrong, but this time I really beg you to help me. Human life is at stake."

Lin Xiaoxia said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are all family matters. Your family's life is at stake and has nothing to do with us."

Qin Zhigang said, "You don't need to give face to a loser like me. You can just think of it as helping a poor innocent little life, okay? We adopted a son a while ago. He has a heart disease. When his parents gave the child to our family, they didn't tell us that he was sick. Because it was a boy, they also asked for some lucky money. They directly asked for three thousand. We thought it was a boy, so we accepted him. But we didn't expect the child to be sick. Now I send him back to their family, and they don't recognize him. I, I, I still can't bear to part with this son. I admit that I have always wanted a son. The doctor said that surgery can cure it, so I want to borrow three thousand yuan from you. I will pay it back..."

Later on, Qin Zhigang became incoherent. He knew that he was too embarrassed to tell Lin Xiaoxia about this, but the only wealthy family he knew was the Lin family. He didn't want to secretly ask Lin Mei to give him money because it would be useless if it was too little. Now the child was in the hospital and hadn't had surgery yet, and the family's remaining savings had been used up. Subsequent surgeries would cost another four or five thousand. He had borrowed more than one thousand when he returned to his hometown, but he was still short of at least three thousand. He really couldn't afford it, so he thought of asking the Lin family for help. He wanted to persuade Lin Mei first, and then let Lin Mei ask Lin Jianye for help. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoxia found out first.

When Lin Xiaoxia heard this, she didn't know what to say for a moment, because no matter what Qin Zhigang did, the child was innocent. It was obvious that the child's biological parents had abandoned him and even extorted money from Qin Zhigang before abandoning him.

Although Qin Zhigang is cold-blooded, he really wants a son. Now that the boy can be cured, Qin Zhigang did not give up.

Although Lin Xiaoxia didn't want to have any dealings with the Qin family, she also didn't want to see a little life die prematurely due to lack of money. There were still many sick and abandoned babies in this era.

Lin Mei didn't know what to do next. "Sister, what should we do? How about we go find our parents?"

Lin Xiaoxia didn't want to hide this from her parents. After all, this matter concerned the Qin family, and it would be better if her parents knew about it. However, she couldn't say that she would go to discuss it with her parents now, because that would mean that she would take care of the matter.

Of course, when she thought about these things, she was also moved by compassion and wanted to save the child. After all, the child was innocent.

She said, "Xiao Ya, go home first and don't tell my aunt about this. My aunt is injured. When she gets anxious, come out and talk to him alone."

Lin Mei trusted Lin Xiaoxia very much. She nodded and said, "Then I'll go home first, sister."

Lin Xiaoxia said, "Well, don't let my aunt find out. Just say I remembered something at the store and went back. I'll be back at noon."

Lin Mei agreed and trotted home.

Lin Xiaoxia said to Qin Zhigang, "Stand up, and don't let everyone come over to watch."

Qin Zhigang got up and said, "You promised to help me, right?"

Lin Xiaoxia said, "I didn't say I would help you. Go back and collect donations. I believe there will be kind people who will donate. Even if I see such a pitiful child, I will lend a hand. But remember, don't look for my sister again, otherwise, even if you die in front of me, I won't even look at you."

Her words were very clear. If you raise funds, I will donate in the name of a caring person, but it will not have anything to do with you. She made this decision after weighing the pros and cons.

If Qin Zhigang raises funds for the child, then I can donate in the name of the barbecue restaurant. This will not only help the child, but also prevent the Lin family from being associated with the Qin family, and by the way, it will also earn a good reputation for the restaurant.

As for the amount of the donation, you have to ask the child's attending physician to see how much money the child needs for treatment, and then give the money directly to the hospital. The money will be used specifically for the child without going through Qin Zhigang's hands. This should be the best solution.

Qin Zhigang was not stupid and understood what she said. He did not care about anything else now. As long as the child could be saved, he told Lin Xiaoxia the hospital and ward number where the child was and begged her to help the child. He did not dare to say anything else. He had suffered because of his greed before, so he learned his lesson this time. After saying what he needed to say, he hurried back to the hospital.

When Lin Xiaoxia heard this, she realized it was the hospital where Lin Rui worked, so she could discuss anything with Lin Rui.

She went to her parents' workplace first. She really wanted to talk to her parents about this matter because it also concerned Lin Mei.

When she arrived at Lin Jianye's office, she told him about this and also expressed her thoughts.

Lin Jianye also agreed with her idea: "You are thoughtful. Let's donate. It just so happens that your second brother understands the situation, and we also know how much to donate."

Lin Xiaoxia said: "Then I will go to my second brother to find out the situation."

"Well, you and your second brother have agreed that I'll pay for it, so you and your second brother don't have to pay for it yourself."

"Dad, I've thought about it. I'll donate in the name of our store so that our family won't have anything to do with the Qin family."

"This is our family's private matter. Even if we're donating in the store's name, we still have to pay for it ourselves. I guarantee your mother and I will pay for it."

"No need, Dad. Donating is also good for the store's reputation. You really don't need this."

"Then tell me if there is anything in time. Don't hide anything from me."

"Well, didn't I come here to report to Father first?"

"That's more like it. Then go to your second brother's place first. When the time comes, you can discuss it and have your second brother call me."

"Well, I'll go dad then."

Lin Xiaoxia said goodbye to her father and went directly to the hospital where her second brother Lin Rui was staying.

I found Lin Rui and told him about this. Lin Rui said hello to his colleagues, and then took Lin Xiaoxia to the internal medicine ward that Qin Zhigang mentioned to confirm the truth of the matter.

When I arrived at the door, I saw that Li Xiulan was so thin that she looked unrecognizable, with white hair on her temples. She didn't look like a woman in her forties at all. She was sitting beside the hospital bed, holding a baby, with red and swollen eyes.

The two of them did not go in. After confirming that the information was true, Lin Rui went to see the internist to ask about the situation.

The doctor said that the child really needed surgery as soon as possible, and the cost was conservatively estimated to be three to four thousand yuan. However, the child's condition was relatively good, and the surgery would not affect his normal life too much. He just couldn't do strenuous exercise, but the overall condition would improve with age and would get better and better.

This answer still made them very happy. No matter what, the child was pitiful and abandoned by his biological parents. If the disease could not be cured or there were any sequelae, Qin Zhigang might not be at ease to treat him. If the disease could be cured, Qin Zhigang, thinking of his son, would definitely treat him well.
