"Zhou Chen, don't be so smug. You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
"Retribution may be delayed, it's just not the right time yet!"
Realizing that their attempt to use someone else to kill him had completely failed, the siblings went to an internet cafe and sent Zhou Chen a barrage of harassing text messages to vent their frustration.
But Zhou Chen, as before, ignored them both, offering no response whatsoever, treating them like air.
Although the siblings were still angry, they at least vented their anger.
Leaving the internet cafe,
When they returned to the apartment complex, they passed by a group of older women at the gate and overheard them gossiping about the abnormal relationship between the siblings. Already feeling down, the two were instantly ignited by these comments and started arguing with the group.
Zhou Ling started cursing, calling Old Mrs. Bi a profanity.
The women were already collectively unhappy with Zhou Ling, and they all retorted and retaliated, saying a lot of unpleasant things.
Enraged, Zhou Chuan shoved an older woman to the ground.
As a result, this scene was witnessed by the other party's son, who immediately rushed up and started fighting with Zhou Chuan.
Finally, the chaos was brought to an end only when Uncle Hat arrived.
Late at night, everyone involved went to the police station.
This neighborhood dispute didn't end until 10 p.m.
Back in the rented room,
The siblings were in a terrible mood. Not only were their wishes dashed, but they also lost the argument with the older women and couldn't even fight back. In the ensuing scuffle, both of them sustained injuries of varying degrees. Since it was a mutual fight, they couldn't claim compensation and ultimately had to settle their differences and reach a reconciliation.
Zhou Ling touched the painful spot, continuing to curse and wish those middle-aged women would die soon.
Zhou Chuan was also very angry and suggested that they move out and not live there anymore.
After this incident, they will only face more targeting, hostility, and gossip in this community.
“You’re right. Let’s go look at apartments tomorrow, cancel our lease here, and rent somewhere else, away from those old Mrs. Bi.”
Zhou Ling strongly agreed.
The siblings reached an agreement, and even discussed how to get the remaining rent from the landlord before the lease expired.
For example, if the landlord refuses to pay, they will sell everything in the house.
Zhou Ling was familiar with this kind of thing; she had done it before.
After discussing it, the siblings went back to their rooms to sleep. Just as Zhou Chuan lay down and was about to fall asleep, Zhou Ling suddenly let out a panicked scream.
"What's wrong with Third Sister?"
Zhou Chuan rushed over immediately.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Ling swaying Zhao Xiaoya lying on the bed, foaming at the mouth. She called Zhao Xiaoya's name, but Zhao Xiaoya did not respond.
"Go to the hospital."
Zhou Chuan's expression changed drastically. He picked up Zhao Xiaoya and rushed downstairs. Zhou Ling only came to her senses at this moment and realized that she needed to go to the hospital to find a doctor, so she immediately chased after him.
The brother and sister spent the whole night squatting in the hospital corridor.
The next morning, the test results came back, revealing that Zhao Xiaoya had a very serious heart problem and needed surgery, which should not be delayed.
"Family members, please prepare the money. The initial surgery will cost at least 200,000 yuan. The sooner the better. If it is delayed too long, the child's life will be in danger."
Faced with the doctor's instructions, Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling both remained silent.
Two hundred thousand yuan? Where would they come up with that? Let alone two hundred thousand, they don't even have ten thousand or a thousand yuan. The series of examination fees last night were paid on credit at the doctor's request.
"Fourth brother, what should we do? Where am I supposed to get 200,000 yuan to treat Xiaoya's illness?"
Zhou Ling looked panicked. No matter what, Zhao Xiaoya was her own flesh and blood. How could she watch her daughter die?
"Third sister, there must be a way. Don't worry, I'll go to Mom and Dad first and ask them if they can get some money. Even if we have to sell everything we own, we have to get Xiaoya cured."
Zhou Chuan's words made Zhou Ling's expression flash. "Yes, find my parents. They took 300,000 yuan from me back then. They have to find a way to get 200,000 yuan back to me first. It's something they have to do."
then,
The siblings immediately took a taxi to the restaurant where Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua worked.
"What? Little Ya needs surgery?"
"You need two hundred thousand?"
When Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua heard this news, they knew why the two had come. Sure enough, it was nothing good; they wanted to get money from them, and not just any money, but a huge sum of 200,000 yuan.
But even if the two of them had 200,000 yuan, let alone none, they wouldn't be able to use it to treat Zhao Xiaoya's illness.
They still want to get money out of Zhou Ling; there's no reason for them to give money away.
But what one thinks in one's heart is one thing, and it's naturally difficult to say it so coldly.
"This is our bank card. There are only a few hundred yuan in it, and it's all here. We'll borrow the rest of the surgery fees from our colleagues."
Zhou Dana simply gave all his bank cards to Zhou Ling to show his determination to help.
Unfortunately, their strength was limited.
“Mom and Dad, you’re going to borrow money from loan sharks. Xiaoya is your granddaughter. You have a responsibility and an obligation not to let her die. I gave you 300,000 yuan for her medical treatment. I’m not asking you to give me back the 300,000 yuan, just give me back 200,000 yuan first. I can’t stand by and watch something happen to Yaya.”
Zhou Ling directly suggested that the two of them borrow money from loan sharks.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were speechless when they heard this. How could they possibly borrow money at exorbitant interest rates for a little brat like Zhao Xiaoya? What did that little thing's life or death have to do with them?
"Okay! Let's go find someone to borrow money from at high interest rates."
