Zhang Chunyuan was a little angry. What Ru kiln brush washer? It was clearly just a smokescreen!
This eldest daughter just wants me to help her collect debts!
Zhang Ailan said somewhat awkwardly, "Dad, look at what you're saying. I bought Ru ware to celebrate your birthday!"
Zhang Chunyuan frowned.
He knew his son had two million, but it was in the hands of his daughter-in-law.
Last year, he wanted to borrow money from his son to tide him over, but Mei Yun, that shrew, refused to lend him any money no matter what. She cried and made a scene, even threatening to hang herself, which almost drove him crazy!
It won't be easy to get this money out of Mei Yun.
However, he really liked this Ru ware!
Moreover, if it were to be cashed out, it could fetch tens of millions!
The Zhang family's company is now struggling and on the verge of bankruptcy. If they can get this 10 million, it can greatly change the company's current situation!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chunyuan didn't want to make any absolute statements, so he said, "Ailan! You know Mei Yun's personality, it won't be easy to get these two million from her. Let me call Xuewu and ask him!"
Zhang Ailan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll be waiting for your good news. Once Xuewu pays me back the money, I'll immediately help you get this Ru ware piece!"
After Zhang Ailan finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Lu Xueqing hurriedly asked, "Mom, what did Grandpa say?"
Zhang Ailan smiled and said, "Your maternal grandfather said he'll call your uncle and ask. I think there's a chance!"
"Really?" Lu Xueqing was also pleasantly surprised. She hadn't had much hope, but her grandfather had actually agreed.
Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.
If this washer is real, it's worth millions!
Two million for ten million—even the most foolish old man would know which choice to make.
Sure enough, Zhang Chunyuan immediately called his son.
At this time, Zhang Xuewu was still at the city hospital, running around to get Mei Chao's test results.
Mei Chao's illness has really worn them out. Now Mei Chao can't eat, and even IV fluids don't work. He farts as soon as he gets an IV, and he almost shattered the glass in the gastroenterology ward.
Director Li invited several experts for consultation, but they still haven't been able to diagnose what's wrong with Mei Chao.
Just then, the phone rang. Zhang Xuewu wiped his sweat and quickly answered, "Hello, Dad, what's up?"
Hearing the noise on the phone, Zhang Chunyuan couldn't help but frown. "Where are you? Is Mei Yun next to you?"
Zhang Xuewu quickly replied, "I'm at the hospital. Her brother is sick and hospitalized. Please tell me what's wrong!"
Zhang Chunyuan said, "It's like this, didn't you borrow two million from your older sister before? Why don't you pay her back first?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuewu immediately became unhappy. "Dad, didn't we agree that this money was given to me by my eldest sister? Why should I pay it back?"
"Bullshit! When did it say it was for you? Besides, do you know how hard it is for your older sister and her children?" Zhang Chunyuan said coldly, "Let me tell you, Zhang Xuewu, you have to pay this money back!"
"Dad, what's gotten into you? I'm your son, why are you siding with outsiders?" Zhang Xuewu couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Chunyuan snorted, "What do you mean by 'favoring outsiders'! You and your eldest sister are both my children, there's no such thing as insiders or outsiders!"
He used to always think of his son, but as he has grown older in recent years, his mindset has gradually changed.
He had long seen through Mei Yun's behavior: she was a shrew, and his son was weak and useless, completely unreliable. Even if they lived together in the future, he wouldn't be able to support him in his old age.
He wanted to give it another shot and earn some money for his retirement!
When I retire, I'll find a high-end nursing home and a pretty old lady to dance in the square with.
Zhang Chunyuan said in a deep voice, "Anyway, I don't care, Zhang Xuewu, you must return this money to your eldest sister! If you don't return it, then you can forget about getting a single penny of my family's assets! Although our company is not doing well, I still have some antiques and paintings, as well as the old villa at home, which together can be sold for ten or twenty million! I would rather donate it than give it to you!"
Actually, he was just bluffing.
Over the years, to pay off the company's debts, he's sold off almost all of his antiques and mortgaged all his houses. He has no assets left.
Zhang Xuewu, who was usually carefree and irresponsible, had no idea about these things.
Upon hearing this, he immediately became anxious and quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, can't I discuss it with Mei Yun?"
"Okay, then hurry up and return the money to your sister before my birthday. Otherwise, when I announce my will on my birthday, you won't get a share!"
Snap!
After Zhang Chunyuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.
Zhang Xuewu shook his head helplessly, then went to get the test results and walked towards the ward.
In the ward, Mei Chao was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling utterly hopeless.
I haven't eaten much for two days, my eyes are yellow, and I have no energy at all.
The doctors are afraid to give him IV fluids anymore. He's so bloated when he drinks water now, and his poop is everywhere, even on the ceiling.
The ward has been disinfected several times, but there is still a faint smell of feces. The entire gastroenterology department has been talking about him for the past two days.
He overheard the whispers of the nurses at the door and they gave him a nickname: "The King of Farts"!
Isn't this an insult?
At this moment, in the doctor's office.
Director Li looked at Mei Yun with a solemn expression.
"Ms. Mei, we just had an online consultation with experts from Yandu Harmony Hospital regarding your brother's illness, and even they are at a loss! We have compiled various plans, and now there is only one way that might be able to save your brother!"
With red eyes, Mei Yun hurriedly said, "Doctor, please tell us, we're willing to try anything! My brother is suffering so much, it's like he's living a life worse than death!"
Director Li nodded and said, "Our solution is to perform a colonectomy on your brother. The large intestine is the main site of gas production in the digestive tract. Once the large intestine is removed, the disease will be cured without further treatment!"
Mei Yun was taken aback. "Colon removal? Won't that cause any long-term effects?"
Director Li continued nodding and said, "Yes, there definitely will be! First, he'll have to change his route, moving the excretory opening to his abdomen. He'll need to carry a feces bag regularly, so there might be some odor, it'll be a bit smelly!"
"How can that be?" Mei Yun hurriedly shook her head. "My brother is only in his early twenties. How can he find a girlfriend if he smells so bad!"
Director Li added, "Of course, there is a solution. Our hospital is currently collaborating with a foreign medical institution to introduce a state-of-the-art artificial anus. However, the price may be a bit high. I don't know if your family can accept that!"
"Man-made? How much does it cost?" Mei Yun asked hurriedly.
Director Li thought for a moment, then slowly held up two fingers. "The surgery and everything else will cost two million!"
