Wang Peng was taken aback and said softly, "Wife, do you mean we should pay for his medical treatment?"
Li Mingzhu nodded, "Of course, you can hate him, you can stop associating with him, but you can't ignore whether he lives or dies."
Feeling she hadn't explained herself clearly enough, Li Mingzhu added, "Honey, it's nothing serious."
Wang Peng nodded. Two hundred yuan a month is enough to control the illness, it's really not a big deal.
The net profit that Brother Supermarket has made in the past few days is enough to cover his medical expenses for the rest of his life.
“Okay, I’ll give the money to my uncle and have him give it to him.” Wang Peng didn’t want him to know who was giving him the money for medical treatment.
Li Mingzhu laughed; it turned out her husband was also obsessed with saving face and suffered for it.
Actually, the moment her husband received the call, he decided to pay for Wang Song's medical treatment. He just wanted to have his wife say it to save face for himself.
Li Mingzhu spoke up for him, but at the same time found it funny. Was it so shameful to treat one's own father's illness?
"Big brother," Wang Xia suddenly appeared in the supermarket, "Wang Zhen told me something about him, do you want to hear it?"
The third sister, Wang Xia, is a college student at a university in the provincial capital.
I used to work for free at Brothers Tobacco and Liquor Store for a month, and later joined James Bond's finance department, where I worked for two years.
With Li Mengjiao's help and her own hard work, she has risen from a junior cashier to a financial director.
She was second only to James Bond, and her colleagues dared not offend her. She always walked with her head held high.
No matter who speaks to her, they are always polite and cautious.
Standing before Wang Peng, she was extremely polite and cautious, even avoiding looking directly into her older brother's eyes.
"Is it about Old Wang getting hepatitis C?" Wang Peng asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, big brother, you know everything?" Wang Xia nodded hurriedly.
"What did she say to you?" Wang Peng pressed.
“Wang Zhen wouldn’t let me give him money for medical treatment. He gave everything in the house to Wang Cheng, so Wang Cheng should pay for it,” Wang Xia said.
"What are you planning to do?" Wang Peng continued to press.
Seeing her older brother's expressionless face, as if he might hit her at the slightest provocation, Wang Xia dared not look him in the eye.
"What exactly do you mean by coming to see me?" Wang Peng stared straight at her.
"I..." Wang Xia started sweating; her older brother's aura was too powerful.
She didn't care about Wang Song and agreed with Wang Zhen's suggestion that since her biological father was spending all the family's money on Wang Cheng, then Wang Cheng should be responsible for the medical expenses.
Li Mengjiao will arrive at the airport at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. She specially came to tell her older brother, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to be there too, so she didn't dare to say anything.
"I'm asking you a question, are you mute?" Wang Peng said in a deep voice.
Wang Xia forced herself to say, "I'll listen to you. If you want me to pay, I'll pay for his medical treatment."
Wang Peng sneered, "I already know what you're thinking. Do you have anything else to say?"
Wang Xia quickly shook her head, "It's okay, I'll go back first."
With that, Wang Xia turned and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
Wang Peng's heart grew colder and colder. It turned out that Wang Song had already asked Wang Cheng and Wang Zhen for medical expenses, but obviously, he had not gotten the money.
“Honey, Wang Cheng is an ingrate, and Wang Song is blind to everything; they’re a perfect match,” Li Mingzhu said with a smile.
Wang Peng nodded and took out his phone to call Wang Cheng.
The call was answered after half a minute.
"Hello, this is the CEO's office at Huihuang. I am Wang Cheng."
"I am Wang Peng. Wang Song has hepatitis C. Has he asked you for medical expenses?"
"Yes, this money should be shared by the four of us, shouldn't it?"
At this point, both of them fell silent.
Wang Peng walked to the window and looked at the pedestrians downstairs, already knowing that Wang Cheng would say that.
"If I don't contribute money, and Wang Xia and Wang Zhen don't contribute money, will you contribute money?"
"Of course not. The four of us should share the medical expenses. You can't let me be the one to suffer the loss."
"Heh." Wang Peng sneered, "When you're asking for money, you don't talk about fairness, but when it comes to paying, what the hell are you talking about fairness with me for?"
The two fell silent again, and neither spoke for the next two minutes.
Finally, Wang Cheng couldn't help but say, "The benefits are mine, the difficulties are yours; our family has always been like this."
"Brother, I won't pay for his medical expenses because I know you will. Being too soft-hearted is your biggest flaw."
"He used to be the harshest to you, yet you cared most about his life or death. Wasn't that...?"
At this point, Wang Cheng dared not continue, knowing the consequences of angering his elder brother.
Wang Peng chuckled lightly, "Wang Cheng, I'm neither stupid nor shameless. You're the one who's both stupid and shameless. Is there a problem?"
“No problem, I’m stupid and shameless, but brother, only kids talk big,” Wang Cheng said.
"Brother, the popularity of Brother Supermarket has already made our competitors panic. I don't need to do anything; someone will naturally come after you. Be careful."
Wang Cheng hung up the phone.
Holding his phone, Wang Peng said, "Wife, Wang Cheng said I'm not ruthless enough, that I'm too soft-hearted."
"Hehe." Li Mingzhu chuckled. "If you were ruthless, I wouldn't marry you. What I love is your kindness."
Li Mingzhu added, "The phrase 'womanly compassion' refers to Xiang Yu, the mighty Hegemon-King of Western Chu. History and the people have a very high opinion of Xiang Yu."
Wang Peng shook his head. Wang Cheng was right; being kind-hearted is indeed not a good thing.
It's not that being kind is bad; it's just that being kind makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
Wang Peng said, "I'm going back to Ping'an County tomorrow. Will you come back with me?"
Li Mingzhu shook her head and touched her lower abdomen. "The road conditions on Ping'an are too bad. I don't want to ride in a bumpy car. Honey, when are you going back?"
"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock," Wang Peng said. "I'll take him to the hospital for a full check-up. We might have to stay in Ping'an County for two or three days."
The phone rang again, and Wang Peng answered it immediately.
"Brother Peng, this is Du Lei. Han Jianguo and ten other interns want to talk to you. They are waiting for you in the conference room."
"Han Jianguo? I remember he wasn't interning here?" Wang Peng asked, puzzled.
"They're interning at Brilliant, and the ten of them can't afford to consult a lawyer, so they've come to you for help."
Du Lei said, "Your school has a law program, and they're trying to take advantage of you. Should I kick them out?"
"No need, I'll go see them." Wang Peng hung up the phone.
I took my wife to the fourth-floor office, helped her take a nap, and then went to the fourth-floor conference room.
"Hello, Brother Peng." Han Jianguo hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello, Brother Peng."
"Brother Peng."
"..."
There were seven men and three women in the meeting room. Some greeted Wang Peng, and some nodded to him. Wang Peng only recognized Han Jianguo.
"Seniors, please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Please sit down." Wang Peng gestured for them to sit down, then looked at Han Jianguo, "Senior Han, please speak frankly."
Han Jianguo said, "We, the thirty interns, have been interning at Huihuang Supermarket for two months. Huihuang directly pays our wages to Zhou Shun. In these two months, Zhou Shun has only given us two hundred yuan."
“Brother Peng, we want to file a complaint against Zhou Shun with the education department. Do you think it would be useful?” Han Jianguo added.
"What's the use?" Wang Peng shook his head.
