Chapter 319 Everyone is Poor (2/2)



Ma Gaoyang agreed to all of them.

"You have so much stuff. You'll have to move it yourself tomorrow. I don't know how you'll put it all down in such a small dormitory..."

After the phone call, Zong Mei had no intention of leaving the association, so she decided to move into the house the association had allocated to her daughter. She wanted to quickly recognize the true face of the association's corrupt officials and settle the score with them once she became the dean.

Just after she finished the call, she went back to the Xie'e family compound to clean it up.

Ever since she had a falling out with Ma Gaoyang, Zhan Tingyi was also kicked out of the dormitory allocated to Ma Gaoyang's wife.

Ma Gaoyang searched the streets and found a place for Zhan Tingqi to stay and even found her a job as a street sweeper. Because she had to sweep the streets every day, Zhan Tingqi had no time to come and make trouble.

That is to say, last time, Zhan Tingqi found out from nowhere that she was going to change Ma Gaoyang's child's surname to Zong, Zhan Tingqi ran around the house and the hospital like a madman and made a fuss.

This made Zong Mei lose face greatly. Since she had been provoked, she would naturally not let Zhan Ting off.

She used her connections to change Zhan Ting's job from sweeping the streets to sweeping toilets.

The proud Zhan Tingqi had never endured such torture. Every day, she was covered in the smell of feces and couldn't even wash it off. Zhan Tingqi took a shower as soon as she got off work, and would not come out until she had soaked in the bathroom for an hour or two. It was precisely because of this that Zhan Tingqi was afraid and dared not come over to make trouble again.

After Zong Mei returned to the house, she woke up her daughter and asked her and Ma Gaoyang to pack up first and move some things over today.

Ma Gaoyang's wife hesitated and said, "Mom, do we have to live in the dormitory? Can't we rent a house outside?"

Zong Mei glared and cursed, "Why would I rent a house outside? If I were to live outside, the medical staff would think I was hiding out of guilt! But I won't do that. I just want to see who dares to kick me out. If they do, I'll expose all their dirty deeds!"

Ma Gaoyang's wife didn't expect his mother to react so strongly. She quickly pulled his mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, that's not what I meant. That dormitory is just a one-bedroom apartment. I'm afraid you'll feel wronged if you squeeze into such a small room. Otherwise, let Ma Gaoyang live with his mother?"

Zong Mei is an experienced person after all, how could she not know what her daughter is thinking.

He stretched out his finger and tapped his daughter's forehead. "You, please be more restrained. The baby will be born in two or three months. After you give birth, I won't care what you want to do with Dr. Lu."

When Dr. Lu was mentioned, Ma Gaoyang's wife's face looked a little unhappy.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after being caught by Ruan Tang that day, Lu Liangkun treated her indifferently and no longer showed any affection.

Ever since her mother's accident, Lu Liangkun treated her even more indifferently, almost like an ordinary woman, and they never stayed alone in private.

Lu Liangkun has always wanted the position of director. Even if her mother is no longer the vice president, she still has ways to help Lu Liangkun.

She had never been a slacker in the many years she had been in the association, and she had heard her mother talk about the secrets of the association's leaders at home many times.

She suddenly remembered that her mother had often complained about the dean's greed for money...

For some reason, the thought of so much money and the passbook in the mahogany box flashed through her mind.

"Dr. Lu is an excellent doctor and is well-liked by patients and their families. I have no objection to you being with him. Dr. Lu's wife died in childbirth, and he certainly wouldn't want his child to have the same surname as his, so nothing can go wrong with the baby in your belly."

When Ma Gaoyang's wife thought about having a child like Lü Liangkun in the future, her brows and eyes relaxed with joy. She deliberately ignored Lü Liangkun's recent coldness towards her.

"Mom, I'll listen to you about everything concerning the child."

Ma Gaoyang's wife paused and said, "But, Ma Gaoyang can't live in the dormitory. Otherwise, Ma Gaoyang will be hanging around Doctor Lu all day long and will definitely find out about my affair with Doctor Lu. Maybe he will break up Doctor Lu and me like his shrew mother did.

In our hospital, many young ladies like Dr. Lu."

Zong Mei thought that when she became the dean of the association in the future, she would also have to recruit her own people. Although Lu Liangkun was young now, he had a good reputation. It would be nice if he became her son-in-law.

"Alright, I'll be out soon and let Ma Gaoyang live with his mother."

Little did they know that when they were discussing, they never thought that Ma Gaoyang was listening outside the door.

They even said that they were not afraid of Ma Gaoyang hearing it. Even if Ma Gaoyang knew, what would it matter? With his background, if he left their family, he would be like his mother, sweeping toilets.

So, when Zong Mei asked Ma Gaoyang to move all the things at home to the dormitory and he would not go with her, Ma Gaoyang did not react.

While they were moving, the Ji family was invited to attend Dr. Liao's wedding.

Both of them are married, so they keep things simple.

After bowing to the statue of the great man, he set up a few tables at home.

The Ji family sat at one table. This was the first time that Xiao Qieqi had a banquet since he could remember. He was the most excited person in the room, even more excited than the bride and groom.

"Grandma, these are meatballs. Your teeth are not strong enough to eat this. I'll scoop you three meatballs. Is that enough?"

"Master, why did you put down your chopsticks? Eat more. You've eaten so little. Is the food not to your taste?"

"Dad, you've had quite a bit to drink. Let me fill your glass up. Don't worry, my hands aren't shaking, and I promise I'll fill it up completely."

"mom--"

Ruan Tang quickly made a "stop" gesture and said, "I won't call you, I will come by myself."

Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the others, and they nodded quickly.

The little guy was so loud and didn't say a word, so the guests at other tables looked over here. They couldn't afford to lose face with him.

Little Xiaoxiao sighed with resignation. His family was really uncooperative and didn't give him any chance to perform.

Ruan Tang didn't want to get indigestion from eating so she didn't even look at Xiao Chuchu. She drank half a bowl of mutton soup before sighing comfortably.

"Looking at the little guy's appearance, I can imagine that this is how he'll treat us to food and drinks at his wedding in ten years."

"cough--"

“Ahem—”

Coughing sounds came one after another.

Among them, Ji Nanfeng had the biggest reaction.

Ji Nanfeng glared at Ruan Tang and said, "Don't bring up something that is not relevant to the topic."

Ruan Tang blinked at Ji Nanfeng: "Don't thank me too much, I'm just helping you adapt in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."

"I'm mentally prepared, but my wallet isn't. Forget about the betrothal gifts, I can't even afford a decent meal."

As soon as Ji Nanfeng finished speaking, the others' faces darkened and their wallets felt a pain.

Ruan Tang couldn't help but laugh secretly, "Then you have to work really hard. What if I accidentally give birth to a daughter for you... That would be a betrothal gift and a dowry. I don't dare to think about it..."

Everyone else looked at Ruan Tang and asked in unison, "Are you pregnant?"

Ruan Tang shook her head. "No, I'm just giving you a heads-up. Who knows, maybe one day, my daughter will come."

After all, Mingbi really came.

She has to give everyone a shot of prevention.

After all, everyone was poor, and things like dowry and red envelopes had to be prepared from a young age.
