Meng Zihan was overjoyed when Teacher Ma brought up the matter from last time.
I thought there was no way out, but unexpectedly Teacher Ma came to me again, so she must be willing to cooperate!
It's truly a case of "when one door closes, another opens"!
Her chance has come again!
Suppressing her joy, Meng Zihan immediately replied, "It counts! Of course it counts! Teacher Ma, as long as you're willing, I'll definitely help you find a way."
However, she had some doubts.
Teacher Ma was so adamant before, saying that one should have a conscience and refusing to help her identify Ye Linchen. Why has she suddenly changed her mind now?
Could it be a trap set by her and Ye Linchen?
Ye Linchen is very cunning. He might forgive Teacher Ma on his own initiative, and Teacher Ma, moved by his actions, might betray him.
Then Ye Linchen turned the tables and sent her as an undercover agent to set a trap for himself.
Meng Zihan considers herself resourceful and considers all possibilities in order to remain invincible.
So even if Teacher Ma is willing to cooperate, she still needs to test the waters.
She tentatively asked, "Teacher Ma, why did you suddenly change your mind? Is it... that you're having some difficulties at home?"
Teacher Ma sighed on the other end of the phone, her voice filled with deep helplessness.
"Ugh, don't even mention it, I've had absolutely the worst luck..."
After hesitating for a moment, she finally told Meng Zihan the truth.
It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly, and blessings never come in pairs. Her father was already bedridden and unable to move around easily, and now they've discovered a tumor in his brain. The doctor said he needs surgery as soon as possible, which will cost a lot of money.
But her father left all his money and house to her younger brother and refused to give it up, insisting that Teacher Ma pay for his surgery.
Her brother also made it clear that he would not contribute any money.
The reason is simple: this property was left to him by his father, and his father did not want him to contribute any money, so he could not go against his father's wishes.
The father asked Teacher Ma to pay the money, and Teacher Ma had to pay.
Her parents raised her to adulthood; it's time for her to repay them.
Teacher Ma is willing.
But she is currently unemployed and has no income, so the entire burden of the family rests on her husband's shoulders.
Her husband didn't have her level of awareness and resolutely refused to contribute any money.
He said that wherever he went, there was no son left, so it was unreasonable for his married daughter to pay for his medical treatment. Moreover, it wasn't that my father didn't have money; he just didn't want to spend it. If they weren't willing, he was even less willing.
Ms. Ma was extremely anxious and tried her best to persuade her husband.
This is no ordinary matter; it is a matter of life and death. We cannot be concerned about money. As long as we can save lives, we should do everything we can, even if it means going bankrupt.
"He just wouldn't agree, and he even brought up my mother's illness, saying that he had already endured it before, but this time he couldn't endure it anymore and would absolutely not agree. This is a human life! How could he be so cold-blooded!" Teacher Ma was extremely angry.
Her husband, however, was determined. No matter how she tried to persuade him, he wouldn't budge an inch and directly made his stance clear.
Teacher Ma is willing to pay, but the two of them should get a divorce first. She can spend her money however she wants, and he won't interfere.
"If you still want to live together and not get a divorce, then he won't contribute a single penny."
Teacher Ma wiped away tears on the other end of the phone.
She is a person who cares about her image, believes that harmony in the family brings prosperity, and wants everyone to see how successful she is in life.
If she gets divorced, she can't even imagine how she'll face the gossip and rumors from outsiders.
That's why she absolutely refused to get a divorce.
But what about her father?
Teacher Ma was at her wit's end. After thinking it over, she thought of Meng Zihan.
"I can help you identify Ye Linchen, but you don't have to work. If it works out, you have to pay for my father's surgery, okay?"
Meng Zihan was stunned by Teacher Ma's words.
This person is absolutely stupid!
Even though his own family is falling apart, he's still thinking about taking care of his father. What a foolish act of filial piety!
No wonder my grades are bad!
With such a stupid teacher, it's no wonder their grades are bad!
But then she thought about it again and realized that Teacher Ma's brother hadn't done anything wrong.
After all, her father's property was supposed to be left to his son long ago, and now it suddenly wants to go back. Who would be happy about that?
If it were her, she would have caused a huge uproar too!
Of course, if she were Teacher Ma, she would never spend a single penny, much less take care of that old geezer!
Does the younger brother expect her to pay for everything when he refuses to give him any?
The younger brother abandoned all responsibility and wanted her to step in?
Don't even think about it!
She's not a fool, why should she work herself to death for someone else's business?
Meng Zihan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Why can't Ye Linchen learn properly from Teacher Ma?
If she had the same awareness as Teacher Ma and complied with all her family's requests, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation today.
Why don't I have the same good luck as Teacher Ma's younger brother!
But Meng Zihan didn't say much, only saying to Teacher Ma, "Teacher Ma, don't worry. This important person from Beijing is very rich. This amount of money may be a huge sum for us, but for her, it might just be the cost of a few meals, which she can easily take out."
Teacher Ma's voice carried a hint of anticipation: "Really?"
"How about this, we'll arrange for you to meet her. You can discuss it with her personally, and we'll know soon enough whether it works out or not."
Teacher Ma readily agreed and urged, "Okay, the sooner the better. My father doesn't have much time left, and I don't want him to suffer like this at his age!"
Meng Zihan snorted dismissively, hung up the phone, and immediately called Zhang Tingting again.
