Lin Xiaocui was furious; so that's why she thought the money wasn't enough!
To do such a vicious thing to one's sister-in-law is not the act of a mother, and yet she has the nerve to complain that fifty yuan is not enough!
Now the whole team is saying that although Lu Wanqing is having triplets, which is a great joy, they never expected that she would be stuck with such a mother. They really don't know if she is lucky or unlucky!
Everyone advised her to sever ties with her mother. After all, she was with Lin Ye now, living a happy and fulfilling life. She was capable and could earn money, and Lin Ye doted on her like the apple of his eye. It wasn't a big deal for her to break off ties with her mother's family!
Of course, Lin Xiaocui also knew that her sister-in-law was kind-hearted. She couldn't just cut ties with her mother who had raised her for more than ten years. Giving her some medical expenses was a way of repaying her kindness.
"That's all, take it or leave it! Your sister-in-law asked me to give you money because she calls you 'Mom.' If you ask me, someone like you doesn't deserve to be a mother, you don't even deserve to be a human being." Lin Xiaocui wouldn't tolerate her behavior.
Lu Jiajia jumped out of bed and reached out to slap her across the face: "You brat, how dare you talk to my mother like that? I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Lin Xiaocui dodged and grabbed her wrist, bending it with all her might, causing Lu Jiajia to wince in pain.
"You think you can act tough in front of me? If it weren't for your sister-in-law's sake, do you think I would give you money? With so much money, wouldn't it be better for me to eat and drink? If you know what's good for you, get out of here as soon as you recover, otherwise even the kindest person can't withstand your kind of drain!"
Lin Xiaocui gave the two of them a sharp look, then let go and walked away without hesitation.
Lu Jiajia's wrist was almost broken, and the pain was excruciating. Despite the pain, she picked up the money on the table and threw it hard on the ground. "Is this all the money you've got? You're just trying to feed a beggar!"
Five large unison bills fluttered in the air and landed at the feet of the nurse who had just entered.
The nurse frowned and said rather impatiently, "You have money, don't you? Go and pay the medical bills right now."
"This money..." Lu Jiajia was about to say that she didn't want this worthless money when she felt a wave of dizziness.
She quickly lay down on the bed.
Hospitals are not charities; you can't be discharged without paying.
Seeing Lu Jiajia like this, Zhang Guixiang got out of bed, squatted down, and picked up the money one bill at a time.
When Lu Jiajia saw her mother, dressed in a hospital gown and with a wound on her forehead, squatting so humbly on the ground picking up money, she suddenly felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
All of this was caused by Lu Wanqing.
She was determined to get revenge.
Holding the money, Zhang Guixiang said helplessly to Lu Jiajia, "Jiajia, I'm so sorry for making you suffer. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll definitely find a way to get enough money from Lu Wanqing! Then, I'll take you to the best hospital in Beijing to recuperate."
As she spoke, she choked up, and the mother and daughter hugged each other, crying.
For a little money, the two humbled themselves, their dignity trampled on by Lu Wanqing. Now, they understood each other and expressed their hatred for Lu Wanqing.
After listening to the mother and daughter's conversation, Lin Xiaocui left through the window, feeling a mix of emotions.
After she came out of the hospital, a look of surprise flashed in Luo Chunlei's eyes, but he quickly regained his cool demeanor. "If you don't come out soon, I'm going to go in."
"Let's go to school," Lin Xiaocui said calmly.
Luo Chunlei led her for a while, and seeing that she hadn't said a word, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong? You seem down."
"It's nothing. I just found out some things and I don't know what to do!" Lin Xiaocui stammered.
Luo Chunlei comforted her, "If you can't figure it out, think about it again. When the crucial moment comes, you'll naturally know what to do!"
That was the only way, and Lin Xiaocui felt much better.
To divert her attention, Luo Chunlei steered the conversation towards Luo Hao. He talked about how Luo Hao was getting married and spending money like crazy, buying all sorts of things that made him realize how rich he was. However, only he knew that Luo Hao sometimes would secretly space out, his eyes vacant, as if his spirit had been detached. He simply attributed it to pre-wedding jitters.
By the time class started, those bad moods had largely dissipated.
Luo Chunlei rode away on his bicycle. When it was almost time for school to let out, Li Fang, grumbling and cursing, left for school ahead of time.
It takes her more than half an hour to walk from home to school. By the time she arrived, most of the other students had already left, leaving only Luo Kunkun waiting in the classroom.
"Mom, I can actually go to and from school by myself. You don't need to pick me up or drop me off," Kun Kun complained to Li Fang.
Li Fang smacked him on the head. "You brat, what do you know? The adult world is complicated. What if someone uses you to get back at someone else?"
Kun Kun let out a sigh of relief. "Okay. What a hassle!"
Li Fang led her son out, and Lin Ye rode his bicycle past them.
They exchanged greetings and then parted ways.
Lin Ye wasn't supposed to come to school in the afternoon, but Du Wenbing needed to see him, so he came over again. He was in a hurry to get home to make a nutritious meal for Lu Wanqing, so he didn't talk much with Kunkun.
Li Fang watched his retreating figure and pouted, "Look at your Teacher Lin, he's so afraid we'll ride in his car, he's riding so fast."
Kun Kun thought to himself, "Isn't it because you treated him badly and didn't give him a nice look?"
The two walked a short distance when Qi Wei walked towards them from the direction of the commune.
Upon seeing Li Fang, he greeted her warmly, saying, "Kun Kun's mom, it's been a long time."
Li Fang knew about Qi Wei's punishment; he even compensated her with 100 yuan!
She always believed that Qi Wei wasn't such a bad person, and that it was Teacher An who did the bad things.
So, in response to Principal Qi's warm greeting, she smiled and replied, "Principal Qi, you're still going to school after get off work!"
