Upon seeing this, Li Sumei was immediately taken aback.
"Li Shufang, what are you doing? Trying to scam me? Let me tell you, I don't have any money."
Li Yuzhu was also startled, and she quickly explained.
"Mom, have you forgotten that Li Shufang has brain cancer?"
Li Sumei then remembered that Li Shufang had brain cancer. Her face turned pale, and she felt a sudden sense of anxiety.
"She's fainted, what should we do?"
Li Yuzhu looked anxious. "Mom, go and wake Haowen up quickly."
Ding Haowen took care of her all night last night, and she's sleeping now.
Li Sumei hurriedly went to call Ding Haowen, who woke up to find that his mother had fainted.
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately took Li Shufang to the hospital.
Li Sumei was taking care of Li Yuzhu at home when she noticed that no one from the Ding family was there.
She then looked Li Yuzhu up and down, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.
"I'm not trying to be mean, but look at the kind of person you've chosen!"
Li Yuzhu's face turned pale, and she mumbled a few words.
"Mom, you were the one who told me that abortion would harm my health..."
She didn't want to have the baby, but after hearing Li Sumei say that abortion is harmful to the body, she hesitated about whether to give birth or not, after all, the child...
Li Sumei glared at Li Yuzhu.
"Is that my fault? Ding Haowen promised you an 88 yuan dowry and that he would treat you well for the rest of your life, so you listened to him."
Li Yuzhu remained silent, her lips pursed, a surge of irritation rising within her.
"I think you're just not thinking straight. What has Ding Haowen been doing all year? He's been at home, without a job. What are we going to do in the future?"
Li Yuzhu was a little unhappy. "Mom, stop talking."
Ding Haowen used to make a lot of money, spending about 100 yuan a month. She guesses he really doesn't have much money left now.
Li Sumei snorted coldly and glared at Dingxiang, who was sitting on a small wooden chair outside.
"If your first child had been a son, you wouldn't be suffering like this now."
When Dingxiang heard them say her name, she shrank back in fear.
Seeing this, Li Sumei snorted coldly.
"What good is it to have a daughter? She doesn't even know how to call people 'Grandma,' and all she does is play all day. She doesn't know how to take care of you."
When Li Yuzhu heard her mother criticizing Dingxiang, she couldn't help but feel disgusted with Dingxiang as well.
She glanced at Dingxiang with disgust, which Dingxiang noticed keenly.
She quickly lowered her head, feeling extremely wronged.
If Jiayi's mother were here, she definitely wouldn't have scolded her like that...
She misses Jiayi's mother...
Dingxiang felt wronged as she washed clothes. She couldn't even scrub the adults' clothes properly, but her father and grandmother always made her do the laundry.
At the town's People's Hospital, Ding Haowen waited anxiously. When he saw someone come out, he quickly went up to ask.
"Nurse, how is my mother?"
The nurse glanced at Ding Haowen and said, "Go pay the bill first."
Ding Haowen hurriedly went to the front desk to pay, and was shocked when he learned that it would cost more than two hundred yuan.
He only has two hundred yuan on him right now, which isn't even enough to cover his medical expenses.
For the past six months or so, all his money has gone to Li Yuzhu, and since he hasn't had a job, he hasn't saved any money at all...
Ding Haowen paid two hundred yuan upfront, saying he would figure out the rest, but the hospital disagreed.
He gritted his teeth, his brow furrowed in worry, when he saw a familiar figure.
Ding Haowen hadn't seen this figure for more than half a year.
When he saw the other person, he hesitated for a moment, but still chose to step forward and take the initiative to greet them.
"dad!"
Chen Xiaowei had wrapped himself up tightly, but he still managed to be recognized.
When Ding Haowen called him "Dad," he glared at Ding Haowen in annoyance.
"What are you doing?"
If Ding Haowen hadn't been such a good-for-nothing who couldn't hold onto Chen Jiayi, Chen Jiayi wouldn't have divorced him.
Ding Haowen looked embarrassed and, after mentally preparing himself for a while, finally spoke with a shy expression.
"Dad, Mom's in the hospital. I need to pay the advance for her hospital fees, but I don't have any money on me. Could you lend me some?"
Upon hearing that he wanted to borrow money, Chen Xiaowei quickly waved his hand.
"Go away, who's your dad?"
Seeing Chen Xiaowei's snobbishness, Ding Haowen's expression grew even more unpleasant.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Dad, please, Mom always thinks about you and has Jiayi bring you all the good food she makes. Please help me out for this reason."
Chen Xiaowei still shook his head and refused, his attitude very firm.
"No."
Just kidding, Ding Haowen is currently unemployed. If you lend him money, it's questionable whether he can even pay it back.
Ding Haowen gritted his teeth, feeling humiliated.
"Dad, I will definitely pay you back with interest! You lent me 100 yuan, and I will pay you back 150 yuan!"
Chen Xiaowei's eyes lit up; he was tempted.
But he was still hesitant...
What if Ding Haowen can't pay back the money after it's been lent out?
He suddenly realized that Ding Haowen could help him find out where Chen Jiayi lived.
So Chen Xiaowei agreed.
"Okay, I can lend you money. But if I lend you 100, you have to pay me back 150! And you also have to tell me where Chen Jiayi lives now!"
Ding Haowen's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Realizing what Chen Xiaowei was planning to do, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
…
Chen Jiayi returned home after studying today, so tired that all she wanted to do was collapse into bed.
I don't know why, but there are always one or two days each month when I feel like going to bed very early.
Then I went to sleep around 6 or 7 pm and didn't wake up until the next morning.
Seeing Chen Jiayi yawning lazily, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
Lan Meixuan reached out and pinched Chen Jiayi's cheek.
"Jiayi, get up quickly, I'll take you to a banquet later."
