The next morning, Xu Guiying went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. She finished all her business in the morning and then asked Brother Ding for leave in the afternoon, feeling embarrassed.
Brother Ding expressed his understanding and readily approved the leave.
As soon as Xu Guiying arrived at the hospital, she saw Song Anmin at the bottom of the inpatient department.
Song Anmin smiled obsequiously, "Mom, you took the afternoon off? There's something I want to tell you—"
Xu Guiying stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed on the third son with a distinctly unfamiliar look.
"Song Anmin, I've already told you that you won't be shortchanged by a single penny. Don't keep nagging me here. I don't have time to deal with you these next few days."
After Song Zhicheng's family returned to town, Xu Guiying decided not to let her third son go to the countryside anymore. She simply kicked him out. Song Xinfu had asked for leave from the third son's factory earlier, and it was almost time for him to leave.
Xu Guiying didn't care whether her third son rented a house or went back to live in the factory.
Song Yangmin's temper is somewhat like Song Zhicheng's. Song Zhicheng's three sons look honest and quiet. If they knew that Xu Guiying wanted to kick the third son out, they would probably be scolded by Xu Guiying until their ears hurt.
Xu Guiying quickly outpaced Song Anmin.
Song Anmin was hurt by his mother's disdainful look.
The fifth brother suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "Third brother, if you get kicked out, I won't plead for you."
Song Anmin's lips twitched slightly. "...Song Jianmin, are you looking for a beating?"
Song Jianmin sneered, "You're the only one who can't see things clearly and you still want to plead for Jiang Hong? Have you never seen a woman before? Jiang Hong isn't even half as pretty as Zhang Qingli, and Zhang Qingli managed to fool me to this extent."
"Third brother, listen to my experience, Jiang Hong is definitely lying to you."
Song Anmin kicked the fifth brother's butt.
"Get the hell out of here!"
Song Jianmin also got angry, "I'm serious! Don't believe me if you don't!"
After what happened to Grandpa Song, Song Jianmin didn't have a chance to go to the auto repair shop to ask Che Xiuwen for money. Damn it, now Song Jianmin thinks every woman he sees is trying to scam him out of money.
Unless his mother arranges a partner for him in the future, Song Jianmin doesn't think he'll get married on his own!
Otherwise, even if we get divorced later, Song Jianmin will still have to ask for money!
Song Anmin went back to the fifth floor.
The Jiang family members were still at the end of the corridor, as was Secretary Chen.
Now, that spot at the end of the corridor seems to have become a stronghold for the Jiang family.
Jiang Hong approached Song Anmin with a hopeful expression, "Song Anmin, what's the result now?"
Song Anmin frowned. "There's nothing I can do about this. You should just stick to the original amount. Sun Rong was the one who made the mistake."
Jiang Hong almost wanted to curse, but she held back and frowned slightly. "Alright then, I'll go back and tell my parents."
Putting everything else aside, Jiang Hong felt that Song Anmin was alright. Song Anmin worked in a factory, which was a stable job, and the Song family elders had respectable jobs. In particular, Xu Guiying worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, which had many advantages.
Jiang Hong still wants to marry Song Anmin.
Jiang Hong had no choice but to tell the truth. Sun Xiangxing scolded Jiang Hong as a useless piece of trash, saying, "You can't even negotiate something this simple. What good are you now that I've raised you?"
Jinzhu tugged at Sun Xiangxing, "Sister-in-law, Honghong has already done her best, let's not talk about this anymore."
Jiang Hong gritted her teeth, "You dare to insult me now? Go ahead and insult your precious little brother!"
Sun Xiangxing raised her hand to hit Jiang Hong, but Jiang Qiang stopped her. Jiang Qiang said with a dark face, "At this point, the most important thing is to raise money!"
After listening to this family talk for so long, Secretary Chen finally got to the point.
"We've wasted so much time, so let's raise the money as soon as possible and get the Song family to sign the letter of understanding. If we don't get it sorted out soon, I'll be going back to the village, and then you can talk to the Song family yourselves."
Jiang Qiang immediately said no, what if the Song family raises the price without Secretary Chen?
The group exchanged glances, thinking that it would save Sun Rong a few years in prison, and finally reluctantly nodded in agreement!
Secretary Chen told Song Xinfu and the others about this.
Song Xinfu and his group were not shocked. Given Sun Xiangxing's brother-supporting nature, they would probably accept the price even if it was raised by 20,000.
Fifteen thousand is about right.
Secretary Chen hesitated because the Sun family couldn't raise that much money right now.
"They'll raise the money first, and it'll be delivered tomorrow, but I doubt they'll be able to give that much; they might have to write an IOU."
Old Master Song's eyes darted around.
Song Xinfu subconsciously looked at Xu Guiying.
Apart from Song Guomin and Song Yangmin, who were working, and Song Rongrong and Song Yingying, who were in school, everyone else from the Song family was here.
Xu Guiying said sternly, "Since that's the case, then go to the police station tomorrow and write it in the presence of the police officers."
Secretary Chen quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, okay."
This matter has finally come to an end. Song Anmin was feeling restless inside. Before, when Song Yingying was hospitalized, all he could think about was the compensation money. Now, Song Anmin no longer had that thought. He opened the ward door and saw Jiang Hong standing outside.
Jiang Hong's eyes were red as she called Song Anmin into the hallway.
Xu Guiying watched the two figures leave and clicked her tongue.
Jiang Hong hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Song Anmin, it's one thing to have a small amount of money, but my family is already struggling to raise funds and is in debt. I only have a little over a hundred yuan on hand. Could you lend me some money? I will pay you back later, with interest!"
If such a beautiful woman stood in front of any man and cried, he would probably soften.
But the problem is that Song Anmin has no money. He sighed and said, "I really want to help you, but I really don't have any money."
No money?
How is that possible?
Jiang Hong felt that Song Anmin was definitely lying to her, and that it was just an excuse to avoid lending money!
Song Anmin added, "I really don't have any money. I gave all my money to my mother."
Song Anmin was always a big spender. He had always wanted to start a business, but he never succeeded and spent all his money. He only had a little bit of his previous salary left, but he gave it all to his mother as living expenses.
Jiang Hong burst into tears, saying, "But what can I do if I don't have the money? There's no way my family can raise 15,000 yuan."
Song Anmin asked doubtfully, "Didn't Secretary Chen say that IOUs could be written?"
But you have to pay back the IOU you wrote!
Jiang Hong hates Song Anmin for being a blockhead!
Jiang Hong asked softly, "Brother Anmin, can you borrow money from your friend?"
Song Anmin frowned. "No, they are poorer than me."
Jiang Hong gritted her teeth and finally made a desperate move, "Then... then why don't you come to the casino with me? I still have some money, and I want to win some back. Otherwise, with such a huge hole in our pocket, our family will be driven to desperation..."
The word "casino" was mentioned.
Song Anmin jumped three steps.
Going to gamble? That would be the death of Song Anmin!
If his mother finds out, being sent to Yunnan for reform through labor is the least of his worries. She'll probably skin him alive, remove his tendons, dry him up, turn him into cured meat, and feed him to the dogs.
Since staying with his grandparents, Song Anmin has completely given up on gambling.
