Chapter 122 Paralyzed
Qin Min fell into the chair and cried in despair.
"These aren't thieves. These are the loan sharks your father borrowed from you. They must have known your father ran away, so they came to our house to move the things."
"Mom, didn't you sell the necklace for five million? Did you spend it all so quickly?"
Qin Min burst into tears when she talked about this.
"It's all your father's fault. The company had no business, and he had nothing to do all day, so he learned to trade stocks. How could he do that with his brain? I tried to persuade him not to, but he wouldn't listen. When he made a little money at first, he thought he was a stock god, and he kept investing more and more money.
Later, the stocks he bought plummeted. He heard a rumor from somewhere that the stocks he bought were falling in price and were about to soar, so he invested all his money.
Instead of soaring, his stock plummeted. He refused to give up and, without my knowledge, borrowed high-interest loans to continue increasing his holdings. Eventually, the stock price plummeted, and he couldn't sell it, leaving him with no money to pay back the loan sharks. That's when we decided to go back to Old Wen's house and ask your grandparents to lend us some money.
But your father, that bastard, actually ran away with the money and left this mess to us.
I was really blind to fall for him in the first place. I am already this old and I still have to suffer like this."
Wen Shanshan was confused. This meant that not only would they not be able to live the luxurious life they had before, but they would also have to pay off their father's debts.
"Mom, what should we do next?"
"What else can we do? We have to rely on ourselves! Go find a job tomorrow."
Wen Shanshan stammered, "I've never worked before. I'm scared!"
Qin Min poked her on the forehead.
"What are you afraid of? How could I give birth to such an unpromising daughter like you? Get up early tomorrow and find a job! Now go clean up the house. I'm tired, I'll take a rest."
"Mom, I'm tired after taking the train all the way. Let Auntie clean up."
Qin Min roared.
"What are you thinking? We can't afford to hire a nanny. She quit a long time ago. Go to work and clean up."
Wen Shanshan went to clean the house reluctantly.
The old man from the Wen family was sent to the hospital. After the doctor rescued him, he told them that he was still alive, but paralyzed and would have to stay in bed for the rest of his life.
"What? How could this happen? Doctor, you must save my old man."
The doctor shook his head apologetically.
"There's nothing we can do in his situation."
"By the way, the family members will go and pay the fees later."
The old lady's heart skipped a beat. All the money was stolen by her son. How could she have any money left?
She called Wen Bowen, but his phone was turned off. She then called Qin Min, thinking that her daughter-in-law was family after all and would not ignore them.
After Qin Min answered the phone, she heard the old lady asking her to pay the medical expenses, and she hung up angrily.
She called again, but the phone was turned off.
How could she afford the medical expenses when her son and daughter-in-law ignored them?
She suddenly remembered that the old man's two brothers still owed them money, so she hurried home to find the old man's two brothers.
"Sister-in-law, you're asking for money so suddenly, how can we have it? At least give us time to prepare."
"How long will it take you to prepare? Your eldest brother is lying in the hospital waiting to pay."
The two brothers hesitated and said, "It will take at least two or three months!"
"What? Two or three months? Can your brother wait? No, you better return the money to me right away."
"Sister-in-law, your family has plenty of money, why are you urging us to pay it back? You know the situation of our two families. If we had money, we wouldn't borrow from you."
Although the old lady knew that family disgrace should not be made public, she could not care less at the moment.
"Bowen took all our pension money. His phone is turned off. Your eldest brother is in the hospital and needs money urgently. Please return the money to us."
"Sister-in-law, then call the police!"
"Why call the police? That's my son. Do I want the police to arrest my own son?"
"This is our own family matter. Please give me the money quickly. I need to go to the hospital!"
"Sister-in-law, we don't have any money right now. Why don't you think of another way?"
The old lady finally understood that they just didn't want to pay back the money.
His expression immediately changed. "When you two families were in trouble, we were the ones who helped you. How can you turn your back on us now? Besides, I'm not borrowing money from you. I'm just asking for our money back."
The two brothers acted awkwardly.
"Sister-in-law, we really don't have any money!"
"I don't care. You must return the money to me today. If you don't, I will call the police."
The two brothers are as fearless as dead pigs.
"The police are here, and we don't have any money to give you."
The old lady angrily called the police, and the police arrived immediately.
The two brothers cried and described how poor their family was, and the police could do nothing about them.
Whether it was a dispute over money or a family relationship, the police finally asked them to mediate privately and left.
The old lady chased after them and shouted, "Why did you leave? The matter hasn't been resolved yet?"
The two brothers were secretly delighted in the back.
The hospital called looking for her family, so the old lady had to rush to the hospital first.
In the hospital, the old lady hugged the paralyzed old man and cried.
"Old man, what should we do? Our son has taken the money, our daughter-in-law doesn't care about us, and your two brothers won't pay us back. This is going to drive us to death!"
The old man babbled, trying to say something but unable to utter it. The old lady leaned in close and put her ear close to him before she could vaguely hear him say "Wenxi".
The old lady finally understood what he meant.
"Are you asking me to go ask that damned girl Wenxi for money?"
The old man nodded repeatedly.
The old lady hurried to find Wenxi.
Mu Yansen accompanied Wenxi back to the hotel where they first stayed to get their things. Lin Huizi and Lin Mo were out playing and did not come.
As soon as she arrived at the hotel lobby, the front desk clerk called her.
"Miss Wen, someone is looking for you over there."
Wenxi looked over and saw that it was her grandmother.
"That old lady has been sitting there waiting for you."
"OK, thanks."
The old lady also saw Wenxi and hurried over. Wenxi admired her for having such good legs and feet despite her age.
"Wenxi, you're finally back."
Wenxi didn't respond. She wanted to see what she wanted to do.
"Your grandfather had a stroke and is paralyzed. He is now in the hospital. You are the granddaughter of the Wen family. Come with me to the hospital to pay the bill."
Wenxi rubbed her ears. She must have heard it right. The old man was paralyzed. It was really retribution!
The old lady still wants her to pay for the medical bills!
"Grandma, you've come to the wrong place. Go find Wen Bowen."
"Your father took all our money and ran away, and I can't find him now. You are his daughter, and you are responsible for paying your grandfather's medical expenses. Besides, we raised you to this age, so you have to pay for it!"
