Two million!
When the doctor announced the number, Mei Yun was completely stunned!
It's not that she can't come up with the money.
But that money was for Mei Chao to buy a house for his wedding. Without it, how would his younger brother get married?
Mei Yun walked out of the doctor's office, looking utterly dejected.
"Wife!"
Just then, Zhang Xuewu walked over from a distance.
Mei Yun quickly grabbed him and said, "Honey, you're back just in time! I have something to tell you!"
Zhang Xuewu nodded, "I also have something to tell you!"
The couple found a quiet spot in the corridor and stood there.
"Wife, what's the matter? You tell me first!" Zhang Xuewu said.
Mei Yun nodded and said, "I just spoke with Director Li. He said that Mei Chao needs to have a colon resection and an artificial anus, which may cost two million!"
"How much? Two million?"
Zhang Xuewu was completely stunned and cursed, "Is this hospital robbing us? Is their anus made of gold? How can they charge so much money!"
Mei Yun bit her lip and said, "Director Li said it's a bionic anus, imported, that can simulate the sphincter muscles. Otherwise, Mei Chao would have to wear a colostomy bag for the rest of his life. Mei Chao is so young, how can I bear to see him wearing that stuff every day, smelling so bad! How will he find a partner in the future!"
Zhang Xuewu shook his head. "Wife, are you confused? These days, as long as you have money, you can find a girlfriend even if you're just hanging a manure bag or a manure vat. But if you don't have money, what girl would want to marry you?"
Mei Yun was taken aback for a moment, but did not refute it.
Because what my husband said makes sense.
These days, everything revolves around money. There are too many people in their thirties who are still unmarried, all because they don't have money.
"Xue Wu, what should we do?" Mei Yun didn't know what to do either, so she asked Zhang Xuewu for his opinion.
Zhang Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "Let's stick with manure bags. As for finding a partner, that's easy. I'll ask my friend to spend 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to buy a girl from Yue Nan. If we pick one who's easy to raise, having children won't be a problem!"
Mei Yun's eyes lit up. That's it!
How could she not have thought of that!
What's the point of getting married? Isn't it just to continue the family line?
Does the variety matter?
Moreover, the two million saved can be used to help my younger brother raise his children!
Thinking of this, Mei Yun couldn't help but feel excited, "Husband, you're so smart!"
"That's right, what can I do? I'm your husband!" Zhang Xuewu chuckled.
"You rascal!" Mei Yun pouted, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "By the way, didn't you just say you had something to tell me? What is it?"
Zhang Xuewu's expression stiffened for a moment, but he still recounted the phone call Zhang Chunyuan had made to him earlier.
Mei Yun's expression immediately changed. "What? Your dad wants us to pay back your older sister's money?"
Zhang Xuewu looked helpless: "I don't know what he was thinking! He even said that if I don't pay back my older sister's money, he won't leave us any of his assets, even if he donates them all!"
Mei Yun pouted, "What assets does your dad still have! You know how badly the company has been these past two years, they can't even pay salaries!"
Zhang Xuewu shook his head. "You're wrong about that. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Our dad has loved collecting antiques since he was young, and he has quite a few items. There's also that old villa. Although it's a bit old, the location is good. All in all, our dad's fixed assets are at least ten or twenty million!"
"So many?" Mei Yun couldn't help but gape.
Zhang Xuewu nodded, "Yes! This is all the stuff my dad has accumulated in his life. When he kicks the bucket, it'll all be ours!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Yun was immediately delighted, thinking that the more than ten million yuan would eventually fall into her hands.
"Wait a minute! Learning martial arts... something feels off!" Mei Yun suddenly realized something.
Zhang Xuewu looked bewildered. "What's wrong?"
Mei Yun frowned and said, "Your dad usually spoils you the most, but this time he's actually siding with your sister. Don't you find that strange?"
Zhang Xuewu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Who knows? I guess she's just feeling sorry for her older sister. She's been a widow and orphan all these years, it hasn't been easy for her!"
"Come on!" Mei Yun said dismissively, "Do you think I don't know your dad? He only uses people when he needs them and doesn't use them when he doesn't. If he really cared about your older sister, why hasn't he helped her all these years? Those two girls in her family have to take out loans to go to school!"
"Uh, then why is he doing this?" Zhang Xuewu was immediately puzzled.
"What else could it be!" Mei Yun frowned and smacked him hard, reminding him, "Your dad is getting old and is planning to find someone to take care of him in his old age! He probably wants your older sister to take care of him, so he's siding with her!"
Zhang Xuewu frowned and said, "Really? That's a good thing. If he gets old and can't move, who would want to take care of him? If he wants to be cared for by my older sister, then we'll save ourselves a lot of trouble!"
"Are you stupid?" Mei Yun tapped his forehead hard. "If he wants your older sister to take care of you in your old age, then the family fortune will go to your older sister!"
"No way?" Zhang Xuewu frowned.
Mei Yun said irritably, "Don't you know? The Civil Code stipulates that whoever provides for the elderly inherits the family property! You need to be more careful, don't be so naive. If we give away these two million, our family will really starve!"
Zhang Xuewu panicked completely. "Then what do you suggest we do? Dad said we have to pay the money back to my sister, or we won't get a single penny of the family fortune! That's ten or twenty million!"
Mei Yun thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you tell him that it's not impossible for us to pay back the money, but he has to make a will and leave all his assets to us!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let him make a will first! I'll talk to him right now!"
Zhang Xuewu quickly went to the side and called Zhang Chunyuan.
At this moment, Zhang Chunyuan was still looking at the photos sent by Zhang Ailan on his phone. The more he looked at the Ru kiln brush washer, the more he liked it, feeling that he couldn't put it down, as if it was already his.
When Zhang Xuewu called, he answered immediately.
"Hey Dad! I've talked to Meiyun about paying back my older sister's money. Meiyun said she'd pay it back, but..."
Zhang Chunyuan frowned. "But what? Just say it! Why are you hesitating?"
Zhang Xuewu said somewhat awkwardly, "She wants you to make a will, leaving all her assets to us!"
Zhang Chunyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a slight annoyance in his heart.
This unfilial daughter-in-law is still plotting against him at this time!
However, he didn't have much property left, so whether or not he made a will was irrelevant. He immediately agreed, "Okay! It's just making a will! You're my only son, who else would I leave my property to if not you!"
"Here's what we'll do: come to the company right now, and I'll have the legal department make a will for you. Then you can quickly transfer the money to your sister!"
Zhang Xuewu was overjoyed: "Okay, Dad, I'll go right away!"
The father and son happily made the decision!
