Chapter 27: Shamelessly asking for money (Page 1/2)
As soon as Huo Qingci arrived at work, he heard his colleagues talking about it, "Do you know that something big happened to Accountant Lin in the Finance Department?"
"What's the big deal?"
"There was thunder last night, and everyone in the Lin family was struck by lightning."
"What are they like?"
"Everyone was badly injured. The house was completely riddled with holes from the lightning strike. The damage was devastating. Seven or eight hundred dollars in cash alone was burned."
"Why would the Lin family keep so much cash at home?"
Huo Qingci snorted coldly. Six hundred yuan of the money was his wife's severance pay. Fortunately, Manman got it all back.
The man explained, "I heard they were trying to find a job for their daughter. Their adopted daughter was struck by lightning a day or two earlier."
This time, the Lin family lost seven or eight hundred yuan in cash, as well as their savings, food ration certificates, and household registration certificates, all of which were destroyed by the heavenly fire."
Another person sighed, "The Lin family suffered a heavy loss this time!"
He didn't know whether the Lin family was in a miserable state or not, but Huo Qingci knew that anyone who messed with his little wife would definitely suffer the consequences.
"Doctor Huo, you are very knowledgeable. Why did the Lin family get struck by lightning? And it struck every one of them."
Huo Qingci couldn't help laughing when he thought about the good things his wife had done. Although he found it funny in his heart, he still looked indifferent.
"You have to ask God about this. If you ask me, I can only tell you that it might be because they were unlucky."
Doctor Zhang on the other side said, "Do you think this is retribution? My mother says that if someone is struck by lightning, they must have done something wrong.
You see, everyone in the Lin family was killed. They must have done something bad. Doctor Huo, what do you think?
"Maybe."
Doctor Zhang muttered again, "What bad things have the Lin family done?"
Doctor He said, "I heard rumors that the Lin family doesn't care about their own children, but rather their relatives' children. They're even going to marry their daughter off to a fool."
Doctor Zhang asked again, "Who is Accountant Lin's biological daughter? Why would she marry a fool? My brother is not married yet, so she can marry my brother."
Seeing that they were discussing his wife, Huo Qingci interrupted them, saying, "It's too late. I married his daughter, but I'm not sure if she's a real daughter of the Lin family. Anyway, she's no longer related to the Lin family."
"What? Your new wife is a daughter of the Lin family. You treated us to wedding candy, but why didn't you tell us about this?"
"I'm not marrying her family. It doesn't matter to me who her family is. Okay, stop gossiping and start checking the room."
Huo Qingci didn't expect that while they were gossiping about the Lin family being struck by lightning in the morning, Lin Guosheng ran to their office around eleven o'clock to borrow money from him, and he borrowed three or four hundred yuan at a time.
Lin Guosheng, with gauze wrapped on his head, suddenly broke into the doctor's office, scaring everyone.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Lin Guosheng looked at the elegant and noble man sitting upright not far away and said flatteringly, "I'm looking for him, my son-in-law, Doctor Huo."
Huo Qingci looked at the funny-looking man wrapped in white gauze in front of him and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you, Accountant Lin?"
"My family has been in trouble, and I'd like to ask Manman to come home. By the way, could you lend me 300 yuan to help us with the hospitalization? I'll pay you back once I've completed the passbook."
Lin Guosheng is like a pile of stinky dog shit. Will he pay me back? Trusting him is worse than trusting the Buddha.
Huo Qingci looked at Lin Guosheng coldly, "Accountant Lin, didn't you sever ties with my wife that day? You charged us 600 yuan for the severance pay."
Lin Guosheng tried hard to pout, "The money was burned to ashes."
Huo Qingci scoffed, "That's none of our business. Aren't you an accountant? If you need to borrow money, you can go to the finance department to get your salary."
Lin Guosheng was humiliated by Huo Qingci, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. "I don't care, you must give me four hundred yuan now, otherwise I will sue you for being unfilial and make you unable to work as a doctor."

The Lin family is really shameless. They turned against him immediately after he didn't agree to lend him money. But is Huo Qingci someone who can be easily provoked?
"Accountant Lin, are you threatening me? Who am I to you? Why should I give you money?"
"You are Lin Man's husband, and I am your father-in-law. You must pay for our hospitalization."
"Do you have any shame?"
"What? What do you mean?"
Huo Qingci put down the medical record in his hand, took off the metal-framed glasses on his nose, and a cold light flashed in his bright peach blossom eyes.
"Just because you don't tell others about the life my wife Lin Man is leading in your Lin family doesn't mean others don't know.
Is she your biological daughter? If so, why do you treat her like this? You even want to marry her off to a fool. Her biological parents wouldn't do such a heartless thing. If I don't strike you with lightning, I'll strike you too."
Doctor Zhang and Doctor He looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that Doctor Huo, who was always cold and disdainful of arguing with others, would have this side of him.
Lin Guosheng was so angry at Huo Qingci that his head hurt. He started yelling, "Tell me, tell me, what did I do to her? We've let her study for so many years, and now that our family is struggling, what's wrong with asking her to repay her parents?"
“She got into college because she’s smart and motivated. If their teachers didn’t come to you and persuade you, would you let her study?
You two are not tall. Manman is 1.72 meters tall, with big eyes and double eyelids. Do you think she looks like you or your wife?
Do you dare to swear to God that Lin Man is your and Ms. Zhou Ping’s biological daughter?
Don't worry, you don't have to worry about being struck by lightning again. You already have experience anyway, and lightning won't kill you. At most, you'll just need to be hospitalized for a while."
"You you you..." Lin Guosheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Dr. He was glad that he never argued with anyone, otherwise even Dr. Huo, who was always quiet, would not be able to win the argument, so how could he argue with others!
Doctor Zhang felt that Huo Qingci was smart, but he could make people angry with just a few words, and he had a very sharp tongue.
"If you have nothing to do, just go out. If you don't go to the finance department to collect your salary now, you won't have money to pay for the hospital bills when they get off work.
Well, goodbye! "
"Aren't you afraid that I will sue you?" Lin Guosheng threatened harshly.
"Go ahead, we have a clear conscience! Even if you are not Lin Man's biological parents, considering that you raised her for eighteen years, the six hundred yuan severance pay can be regarded as repayment for your kindness.
As for your abuse of my wife, we won't bother with you. After all, you have been punished by God now, and we, as adults, will forgive you and let you go."
When he said this, outsiders who knew the truth would definitely speak up for his wife. Even if Lin Guosheng really went to sue, the people above would ignore him and would just say that he deserved it.
Lin Guosheng was so angry at the sharp-tongued Huo Qingci that he ran away. Dr. Zhang looked at Huo Qingci with a half-smile.
"I didn't expect that our famous Doctor Huo has this side. Doctor Huo, is your little wife really not a biological daughter of the Lin family?"
Huo Qingci said two words expressionlessly, "Guess."
Doctor He smiled and said, "Why would you guess? Doctor Huo, you said your wife isn't the Lin family's child, and didn't Accountant Lin refute that?"
Doctor Zhang slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, yes. Since Doctor Huo's wife isn't from the Lin family, then who are her biological parents? Doctor Huo, do you want to help your wife put an ad in the newspaper to find her biological parents?"
Huo Qingci shook his head. "Not for now. Let's talk about this later. I need to go out for a while. Please ask for leave for me."
Last night I promised Manman that I would publish an announcement in the newspaper stating that I had severed ties with the Lin family. I had originally planned to go in the afternoon, but Lin Guosheng was so shameless as to come to my door, so I might as well do it now. He has acquaintances in the newspaper anyway.
