Chapter 248: Cleared
In the ward, Han Zhengping sat on a chair a meter away from the bed, looking at Duan Caishuang, who was heavily casted on the bed. He was truly grateful. But apart from gratitude, there was really nothing else to say.
"Thank you so much," he said.
Duan Caishuang half-sat on the hospital bed, turning her head to look at the boy not far away, the boy she liked. It could be said that she fell in love with him from the first sight.
How could anyone not like him? He was good at studying, good-looking, and had a good family background. At least half of the girls in his class liked him.
She had seen girls in her class stop him and boldly confess their feelings to him, and she had also seen girls stuffing love letters into his desk. She could only watch silently, envious. Because those were the things she wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
She has an ordinary appearance, average academic performance, and a very poor family. She feels very inferior in front of others, let alone him.
She didn't regret saving him at all, because it created a connection between them and made her closer to him, didn't she?
"I didn't think that much when I saved you," she said.
Han Zhengping didn't say anything. The air was stagnant for a moment. Duan Caishuang clenched her hands awkwardly.
Han Zhengping lowered his eyes and was silent for a while before saying, "I think it's best for you to go abroad for treatment. That way, the chances of recovery are very high."
He didn't respond to her.
"I know, I will go abroad for treatment." Duan Caishuang was a little disappointed.
Han Zhengping hummed, then said, "Let's talk about the future."
"What?" Duan Caishuang was a little confused. Why did they suddenly mention the future?
"Some of the words are too blunt and unpleasant to hear, but this is the reality." Han Zhengping said, "I have a general understanding of your family situation. I'll give you a few options for you to consider."
The words "your family situation" made Duan Caishuang lower her head. This was her most inferior aspect.
Han Zhengping didn't look at her expression and continued, "First, after your injury is treated, my family will arrange for you to study abroad. All expenses during your studies will be covered by my family. Or if you don't want to study abroad, my family will buy you a house and give you some money. If you don't like what I said, you can raise it."
His voice was very flat, without even a hint of ups and downs, very different from his usual gentle demeanor. Duan Caishuang suddenly realized that there was still a great distance between her and him.
She remained silent, and Han Zhengping thought she was undecided, so he added, "Although we are still minors at this age, we already have the ability to analyze things. You should know that different choices will lead to very different lives. If I were you, I would definitely seize what I can and change my destiny."
Duan Caishuang kept her head down. Should she be ashamed and angry? She saved him, and here he was talking to her about money. But this was also a very realistic thing.
Yes! She's living in a quagmire now. After graduating from high school, her family will definitely not let her go to college. They will quickly find her a husband, choosing the one with the highest bride price, regardless of the other person's appearance.
If that happens, her life will be miserable.
If she went to school abroad, things would be completely different. She could go to university and learn more knowledge. After graduation, whether she returned to China or not, she could get rid of her current family and live like a real person, rather than a tool for her family to make money.
Sometimes people have to be realistic, some things are just too much for her to hope for.
"I choose to study abroad." Duan Caishuang said firmly.
"Okay," Han Zhengping stood up, "I'll let my family make the arrangements."
As he spoke, he walked out. When he was almost at the door, Duan Caishuang looked at his back and said, "Does this mean we're even now?"
I saved your life, you pulled me out of the quagmire and gave me a different life.
"If you have other requests, you can also raise them." Han Zhengping stopped. As long as Duan Caishuang's request was not excessive, he felt that he could consider it.
"No more." Duan Caishuang smiled and felt relieved.
Yes, what you can hold in your hands is the most real.
"Then we're even." Han Zhengping said.
Duan Caishuang smiled and said, "Thank you!"
"No need." Han Zhengping opened the door and walked out. The four members of the Duan family were talking in low voices at the door, and they immediately fell silent when they saw him.
Han Zhengping ignored them and walked away. His tall, thin figure had an indescribable aloofness. Duan Dasao sighed, "Cai Shuang has really good taste."
"So what if she has good taste? No one will want her at all." Brother Duan said.
The Duan family had a clear plan. Yi En threatened Han Zhengping to marry Duan Caishuang in the future. Not to mention that they were both young, it would be a few years before they could get married. Even if they did get married, Duan Caishuang's heart might not necessarily be with them. So, it would be better to ask for the money now.
Han Zhengping walked over to the nurse Han Deyi had hired and whispered, "She must stay by the bedside every step of the way."
The nurse also knew the Duan family's moral character, and there was no guarantee that they would really do something unscrupulous for money, so he said: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on it."
As she said that, she trotted back to the ward. The Duan family was already inside, lobbying Duan Caishuang not to let her go abroad for treatment.
The nurse curled her lips at this. She had never seen such a family. They were not even related to her, yet they were doing their best to treat her child's injuries. But this family didn't want their own child's injuries to heal.
"They told you to go abroad for treatment, but who knows if they'll give you treatment? If you die abroad, we won't even know."
"That's right. We are your relatives, how could we harm you? Just ask them for more money, and you will be our family's hero in the future, and we will all serve you."
…
The Duan family spoke for over an hour, but Duan Caishuang said nothing. If the caregiver hadn't been in the room, they would have attacked her. Finally, they had no choice but to leave.
After they left, the nurse said, "Girl, I'm an outsider, but I still want to tell you something. This body belongs to you, and whether you live a good life or not depends on yourself."
Duan Caishuang smiled and said, "I know, Auntie, can you secretly call my mother over?"
Seeing that she had a plan, the nurse smiled and said, "Okay."
The nurse left the house and brought Duan's mother back a short while later. After she left, Duan's mother grabbed Duan Caishuang's hand and said, "Shuang, don't listen to them. Go abroad to treat your injuries. If you can avoid coming back, don't come back."
Duan's mother was terrified when she heard what Duan Daqiang and the others said. They were trying to force her daughter to death!
"Mom, I've decided to go abroad for treatment. Please secretly take out my household registration booklet, otherwise it will be difficult for me to get a visa."
Duan's mother nodded quickly and said, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Duan Caishuang couldn't help shedding tears, "Mom, thank you!"
Duan's mother waved her hand, "You must be careful and let the nurse stay by your side all the time, understand?"
Duan Caishuang saw how serious she was and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
Duan's mother quickly shook her head, "No, no, I'm just worried that you can't take care of yourself."
She stood up and repeated, "Make sure someone stays by your side. Don't be alone, okay? Remember that, okay?"
Duan Caishuang nodded. Something must have happened. Actually, if she thought about it for a moment, she would know that her father and her brother and sister-in-law were all trying to use her for money. They would do anything for money.
"I know, don't worry."
