"Given the current situation, there's only a small chance of recovery even with surgery. The risks are huge. Consider this: is it worth taking such a gamble with such enormous costs?" the doctor kindly advised.
“It’s worth it. Nothing is more valuable than a human life.” Qin Xiaoyu had Lu Di’s father-in-law sign the papers.
The surgery was scheduled to last more than ten hours, and A Lei rushed to pick up Lu Xiaofei before Lu Di entered the operating room.
Qin Xiaoyu took her hand and led her to Lu Di's bedside.
Lu Di's eyes were closed; he was still unconscious.
"You must pull through. We're waiting for you to come out. Remember, your daughter is still waiting for you." Qin Xiaoyu asked Lu Xiaofei to kiss him on the cheek.
Lu Xiaofei obediently stood on tiptoe, pouted her little mouth, and leaned in.
The nurse was already urging them on. Qin Xiaoyu pulled Lu Xiaofei aside, and the nurse pushed Lu Di over.
His eyes were glistening, as if there was a tear in them.
“Xiao Qin, it’s a blessing that Xiao Lu has met such a kind person like you. I’ve never believed in anything in this life. But now I believe in Buddhism, in fate, I believe in everything, as long as we can save him.” Lu Di’s father-in-law said, his eyes welling up with tears.
“Uncle, he is lucky to have met you.” Qin Xiaoyu gave Lu Xiaofei a wink and ran over to help her grandfather sit down.
Several people hurried down the corridor, all dressed simply. The one in the lead was refined-looking, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and bore a resemblance to Lu Di.
"In-law!" Lu Di's mother-in-law recognized him and hurried to greet him.
"I came all the way from my hometown. This is the money we pooled together!" Lu Di's father took off his green schoolbag, opened it, and found it full of money, including ten-yuan, five-yuan, and one-yuan notes, with a heavy bag of coins at the bottom.
“Father-in-law, this young Qin has taken care of the money issue, so you don’t need to worry. We’ll pay it back slowly. Young Lu is in the operating room now, so let’s just wait.” Lu Di’s father-in-law called Qin Xiaoyu over and introduced her.
"Uncle, where are you staying?" Qin Xiaoyu asked, noticing that the three people behind him were carrying snakeskin bags and didn't seem to have settled down.
“We’ll stay at the train station. Once Xiao Di is alright, we’ll go back home and won’t cause any trouble,” Lu Di’s father said humbly.
"That won't do. There are so many people coming and going at the train station, how are you going to stay? My brother runs a hotel, I'll have my husband drive you there in a bit." Qin Xiaoyu turned around and found that A Lei was gone.
Just as I was wondering, I saw him come in carrying two large bags containing food and milk tea. No one could stand waiting for more than ten hours.
Lu Di was lucky; the surgery was successful, and Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei arranged for Lu Di's family to stay at Qi Si's hotel.
They were terrified as soon as they entered the hotel and turned to run away.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu quickly stopped her.
“This place is too expensive. Let’s save the money for Xiao Di’s medical treatment!” Lu Di’s father waved his hand repeatedly.
“This is my brother’s place, it’s free.” Qin Xiaoyu tugged at his snakeskin belt, refusing to let go.
"That won't do either. We owe you too many favors; we can't possibly repay them all. It's alright, we'll just stay at the station. Thank you so much; you've really gone to so much trouble." Lu Di's father's personality is exactly like Lu Di's.
Qin Xiaoyu made the first announcement. Qi Si and his men were waiting. Several waiters went up, dragged them into the elevator, and forced them into a guest room.
“The room cards are already activated. You can’t stay here or give the room to anyone else.” Qin Xiaoyu, covered in sweat from all the commotion, blocked the doorway to prevent them from leaving.
“Then the rest of us will share a room. This sofa is quite nice; it’s even more comfortable than the bed at home,” Lu Di’s father said, adding another condition.
“Yes, just one room, or we’ll leave,” Uncle Lu Di chimed in.
"Fine, fine, I'm scared of you!" Qin Xiaoyu agreed without daring to refuse.
Some people, despite living in poverty, are extremely self-disciplined. It is in such families that their children and grandchildren will eventually succeed because they have laid a solid foundation.
Although Qin Xiaoyu went through a lot of trouble, she was still very touched. This family has very strong moral values and is a good person. It was worth the help.
They got home late at night, and the TV in the living room was showing static and making a lot of noise.
Zhou Xing's mother sat on the sofa with her head tilted to the side, fast asleep.
"Mom, why are you disobedient? I told you not to wait for me." Qin Xiaoyu was both angry and heartbroken, and gently woke her up.
"I was watching TV and fell asleep before you arrived. Is everything arranged?" Zhou Xing's mother still insisted.
"It's alright. What's this?" Qin Xiaoyu saw Zhou Xing's mother casually pick up a piece of leather belt.
"This is the dog's collar; I threw it away." Zhou Xing's mother yawned, and Qin Xiaoyu took it from her and helped her upstairs.
Where's the dog?
"This afternoon, Hanhan's grandpa took her to the vet station for a check-up. She's fine, got her vaccinations, and brought her back. Laifu has a companion now," Zhou Xing's mother said with a smile.
Passing by the trash can, Qin Xiaoyu glanced at the belt and threw it in.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and turned around to take out the belt again.
A line of numbers is engraved on the back of the collar.
A Lei came out of the kitchen with a glass of milk and came over to look when he saw this.
The two exchanged a smile; they had found a clue.
Gao Daxiong is a smart guy. Huanhuan is his most precious treasure. These numbers on the dog collar must be useful.
The next morning, Zhou Yue came over for a free meal and also inquired about Lu Di's situation.
"Why didn't my brother-in-law come?" Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously when she noticed that Zhou Yue was missing one of her little shadows.
“Cheng Fuyue is throwing a tantrum, and your brother-in-law doesn’t dare to leave her at the clinic.” Zhou Yue sighed.
"What's wrong with her now? If it weren't for the fact that she's Lucky Star Sister, I would have kicked her out long ago." Qin Xiaoyu genuinely disliked this girl; she was always trying to be the best and wouldn't suffer any loss.
"I'm heartbroken." Zhou Yue took a bite of her steamed bun and immediately exclaimed, "These beans were sent by Sister-in-law Ge, right? They're so delicious!"
"Break up? You broke up with Jiewei? That's great!" Qin Xiaoyu was so happy she almost jumped up. But then she noticed the strange looks she was getting from other people and realized that her happiness was too obvious and that her motives might be a little impure. So she just chuckled.
"Are you going to transfer Jiewei away?" Zhou Yue guessed right away.
"Yes, let him go to Hong Kong to open a high-end custom-made studio."
“Let’s go for it, the time is right.” Zhou Yue sighed. “With these three as support, I would have liked to go too.”
"Serves you right for giving birth to three at once!" Qin Xiaoyu found another opportunity for revenge.
"I've already talked to your brother-in-law. We're going on a trip in a few days. First, we'll visit Xiaojin, and then we'll travel around to learn about fashion design. Don't miss me or envy me. You can stay home and lay eggs slowly." Zhou Yue's words made Qin Xiaoyu's smile disappear.
Indeed, if she gets pregnant, she will be restricted from her freedom for more than a year, which is no less worry-free than Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue ran away gleefully.
