Chapter 92 Saving lives is the priority
The next day, the second brother waited happily at the door, hoping that his underlings would appear.
But he waited until almost noon, and those people still didn't show up.
He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. One of the experienced workers inside, seeing his restless appearance, offered some advice.
"Young boss, I know you're a good person and want to help those kids. But their background is problematic, and anyone who gets involved with them will be implicated. I advise you not to get involved in their mess!"
"Does anyone know where they live?" The second brother did not back down despite the workers' persuasion.
Someone who knew the address told him, and the second brother rode off in a hurry on his tricycle.
Everyone started trying to persuade Jiang Ruzhen again, but Jiang Ruzhen just smiled and didn't explain.
She was a reborn person, and she knew very well that the wheels of social development were rolling forward, times had changed, and there would be no more talk of class background in the future.
In the wave of economic reform, only those with sharp minds and boldness can get rich first and become the trendsetters at the forefront.
Moreover, she trusted her second son's judgment in choosing friends, and she wanted to fully support his grand plans.
The second brother rode his tricycle, panting, to the address the workers had given him—a shantytown on the outskirts of the city.
Nobody cares about this place; you can just set up a room anywhere and people can live there.
The second brother wandered around here but couldn't find the number plate. Just as he was worrying, he suddenly saw one of the thugs from yesterday.
"Hey! You guys? Why didn't you come to see me today?"
The second brother quickly pedaled his tricycle up to the man, grabbed his arm, and asked.
"Big brother! What are you doing here?" Xiao Yi was also extremely surprised.
"I'm asking you a question. Didn't I tell you to come to me for work today?" the second brother asked, somewhat displeased.
Xiao Yi pursed her lips, scratched her head, and said with great difficulty, "Big brother, Brother Huang Mao doesn't want us to go to you, saying it will cause you trouble."
"Nonsense, where is Huang Mao? Take me to him."
The second brother forcibly dragged Xiaoyi into the car and, following his directions, arrived at a dilapidated house.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened wide, and the blond-haired man was about to walk out with his back to the person.
"Hey, blondie! What's wrong with Grandma?"
Seeing this, Xiao jumped off the car to help hold him up. Huang Mao looked up and saw Lao Er paused for a moment, then turned around and replied.
"My grandma suddenly started vomiting and had diarrhea, and she fainted. I need to take her to the hospital."
"See a doctor? Do you have the money?" Xiao Yi asked anxiously.
Huang Mao bit his lip and shook his head. Then he strode forward and said, "I'll kneel down and beg them to save my grandma."
"At worst, I'll sell myself to them; I'll do all the dirty and hard work."
Xiao Yi wrung his hands anxiously, "Brother Huang Mao, wait a minute. I'll go find the brothers and think of a solution."
"It's too late, I have to go." Huang Mao carried his grandmother away.
The second brother grabbed his arm. "Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital."
Huang Mao hesitated for a moment, and the second brother punched him in the chest in anger.
"Is your grandmother's life more important, or your pride?"
Huang Mao frowned, gritted his teeth, and got on the bus. He sat on the board and held his grandmother's upper body in his arms.
"Thanks."
He muttered something under his breath, but it was unclear whether the second brother heard him.
The second child rode his bike quickly forward, with Xiao Yi protecting him from the side, jogging alongside.
They would help push the car whenever we passed uphill, and it didn't take up any time. The car was quickly parked in front of the First Municipal Hospital.
Huang Mao carried his grandmother inside, and Xiao Yi wanted to follow.
The second brother quickly grabbed him, "You hurry up and ride my bike to the store to tell my mom to bring the money and come find me. Go now!"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, "Brother, aren't you afraid I'll just ride your bike away and sell it?"
The second brother turned around and hugged him around the neck, saying, "What kind of time is this to be joking with me? I've always believed you're all good kids. Stop talking nonsense and go now."
As her second son turned and ran towards the hospital, Xiao Yi wiped away her tears, her eyes red, and rode her bike as fast as she could towards Xingong Street.
When he arrived at Jiang Ruzhen's new store, he was a little nervous when he saw Jiang Ruzhen dressed very fashionably and stylishly. He wandered around for a full five minutes without daring to go in.
It was Jiang Ruzhen who noticed his whereabouts and came out to ask him what was going on.
She quickly hailed a car on the roadside and pulled the still bewildered Xiaoyi into the vehicle.
"You child, this is a matter of life and death, I don't know what you're dawdling about!"
Xiao Yi didn't dare to say a word. They had encountered too many disdainful looks and disgusted stares before, and never thought that there would actually be anyone in this world who would sympathize with them.
They would help them unconditionally, and this kindness weighed heavily on his heart, making him feel that he could never repay it.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Jiang Ruzhen rushed in without stopping, searching everywhere in the emergency room for her second son.
The second brother looked up and spotted Jiang Ruzhen first. He quickly walked over, grabbed Jiang Ruzhen, and headed towards the cashier.
"I just told the doctor to focus on treating her first, so please pay the bill for them right away. The old lady's name is Wang Erya!"
Wang Erya? What a name that evokes the spirit of that era.
Jiang Ruzhen deposited 200 yuan at the cashier, then took the payment slip and went to the front of the emergency room.
Seeing the blond-haired boy squatting at the entrance of the emergency room, his hands in his hair and tears streaming down his face, she went over and handed him the payment slip.
"Here, I've paid your bill. It's not a freebie, remember to pay me back when you earn money."
Huang Mao looked up at Jiang Ruzhen in shock. Jiang Ruzhen glared at him and said, "What? Are you planning to renege on your debt?"
The young man with yellow hair took the payment slip, glanced at it, and tears streamed down his face. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to Jiang Ruzhen.
"Auntie, I'll pay it back. I'll sell my blood or my kidney to pay it back."
Jiang Ruzhen quickly helped the person up, her eyes welling up with tears.
The moment she saw the blond-haired boy, she suddenly thought of herself in her previous life. When she took the poisoned boss to the hospital for emergency treatment, she had the same thought.
She would repay anyone who could save her eldest son by selling her blood or even her kidney.
Unfortunately, she couldn't save her boss's life in her previous life. Now that she's rich, she'll help as many people as she can.
Who told this little blondie to be favored by the second brother? Besides, she believed her efforts would definitely pay off.
These desperate children are so grateful to their benefactor; their character must be pretty good. In the future, they will become a boost to her career.
She helped the person up, winked at her second brother to come over and comfort him, and then stepped aside to wait with him.
At this moment, Lu Mingzheng arrived after hearing the news, carrying five lunch boxes that he had just packed.
"What happened? How did helping someone end up in the hospital? Did you eat lunch? Aren't you afraid your stomach will hurt later?"
Lu Mingzheng rambled on, pulling Jiang Ruzhen to sit down in a chair, opening the lunchbox, handing her chopsticks, and supervising her as she ate.
They would occasionally hand her a water bottle, worried that Jiang Ruzhen might choke.
Seeing the two of them acting as if no one else was around, Shen Zhuoyi couldn't help but interject, "Uncle Lu, I haven't eaten either!"
Lu Mingzheng glanced at him sideways, thinking that all he did was cause trouble for Jiang Ruzhen, and he was utterly useless.
"Don't you have your brothers with you? Friendship is enough to sustain you. I bet you're not hungry."
Shen Zhuoyi couldn't help but roll his eyes; Uncle Lu was dissatisfied with him again.
He didn't care about Uncle Lu's attitude. In his eyes, his mother was the boss, and everyone else was just an ant.
He strode over, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating, quickly finishing half of his meal.
Lu Mingzheng was so angry that he almost grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out for a proper intimate conversation.
Just then, the emergency room door opened and the doctor came out.
The blond-haired man jumped up from the ground and asked anxiously.
"Doctor, how is my grandmother?"
