Shi Long and Shi Hu thought that since Shi Lilan was seriously ill and hospitalized, they had done their duty by organizing a group to come from the countryside to visit her. However, they did not expect that not long after, someone would be wandering around the countryside with a loudspeaker.
The loudspeaker was playing: "Shi Long and Shi Hu owe their sister money and won't pay it back. My sister is dying, and they haven't given a cent..."
Not only in the village, but also in the schools where the children went to school and the workplaces, rumors spread within a few days.
The families endured for a few days, but their calls to Qin Yuhuan were always busy. When they finally agreed to go to the hospital together, they were surrounded by people at the hospital gate.
Qin Yuhuan stood in front of them, crying pitifully, "Uncle, can you pay back the money you owe my family? My mother's medical insurance was cut off by my grandfather, and we are really in trouble..."
The onlookers accused the Shi family of being inhumane. Originally, they wanted to hold on and accuse Qin Yuhuan of doing these things from the perspective of an elder, but Qin Yuhuan was followed by a dozen bodyguards.
The "insiders" mixed in the crowd started talking and spreading the word, and the people around them immediately looked at them with unpleasant eyes.
It is not uncommon for brothers and sisters to borrow money from each other, but when someone is lying in the hospital and critical illness notices are issued again and again, they still don't want to pay a penny. That's really cold-blooded.
Shi Long came forward, seemingly trying to reason with them, and Qin Yuhuan followed them obediently to a secluded place.
Just when the Shi family thought that the time had come to show off their power, they were surrounded by burly bodyguards.
"Uncle, you have owed my family all these years. When will you pay me back? Even though we are in trouble, I have to give you an IOU. Brothers should settle accounts clearly."
Qin Yuhuan's main purpose was to ask for money, but she knew too well that this family loved money like their life. Even if she couldn't get all of it in a short time, she would force them to write the IOU. To put it bluntly, this family was just a group of bullies who only cared about the strong and bullied the weak. When Ziyi brought too many people with her, they didn't even dare to blush.
"Yu Huan, you have really grown up. Your uncle almost doesn't recognize you anymore." Even after signing the IOU, Shi Long still couldn't let go of his uncle's attitude.
"Uncle, thank you for the compliment. I was also forced to do this. Whether my mother can be saved depends on how much my uncles and aunts can contribute."
At this moment, Qin Yuhuan was extremely grateful for the acting skills he had honed and the scenes he had experienced in the entertainment industry over the past few years. At least—
In such a scene, she did not show any fear.
It wasn't until the bodyguards followed the Shi family to get the money that Qin Yuhuan's legs started to weaken. When he wanted to hold onto the wall, Ziyi had already quickly pulled him into his arms. "Are you scared?"
"I'm not scared, I'm nervous, but it feels good too." Qin Yuhuan held Ziyi's hand. When their fingers interlocked, she seemed to draw a peace of mind from Ziyi. "I want to sell the house in Jincheng."
All the money added together should be enough for her to cover Shi Lilan's medical expenses. As for the later expenses, she can still earn more.
"Sell it to me." Ziyi responded quickly, "It will be difficult to sell your house right now. I'm your best choice."
Qin Yuhuan's eyes were extremely sore.
She knew very well that this was the fact. If it weren't for Ziyi, she didn't know what kind of situation she would face, let alone having to face such a group of cold-blooded relatives.
All other problems could be solved, except Qin Changping, who would rather sign a letter of refusal of treatment than agree to Shi Lilan's transfer to another hospital.
These days, Qin Yuhuan has to get up early every day to buy fresh ingredients and go home to make liquid food to send to the ICU. Qin Changping, on the other hand, gets up first and goes out to eat a bowl of noodles, then comes back at the appointed time. When he has stayed here for a while, he goes back.
When Qin Yuhuan returned home, he saw a mess, spoiled lunch boxes that had been left unthrown, and garbage thrown on the floor.
"Live with me," Ziyi knew Qin Yuhuan's obsession with cleanliness. She couldn't imagine how devastated Qin Yuhuan would be living in such an environment at this time. "If you're worried about your sister, bring her with you."
As for the lives of Qin Changping and Qin Yusu, Qin Yuhuan said something wrong. At least the two of them did better than anyone else in eating on time.
Qin Yuhuan nodded, packed up Shi Nianzhi's things, and waited for Shi Nianzhi to come back from school, and then they went back to Ziyi's house together.
"Sister, if you take Mom to Jincheng, what should I do?" Shi Nianzhi didn't know where her future lay. "I don't want to go with my aunt."
Qin Yuhuan was also at a loss about this. She was only 22 years old this year, and what she had experienced in recent times had exceeded everything she had experienced in the past. Apart from Ziyi, the only person she could discuss this with was Fang Jinyao, who was far away in Jincheng.
"I'll send you to boarding school. Can you come to Jincheng to see me during the winter and summer vacations?" After thinking about it, Qin Yuhuan only had this one option left.
Shi Nianzhi remained silent, looking somewhat disappointed with the answer.
"Nianzhi, your sister is not your guardian. The schools in Jincheng are very strict about school districts, so you can't follow me to go to school." Not only that, there is also the issue of fees.
If he couldn't go to a public school, the cost of attending a good private school in Jincheng would be far beyond Qin Yuhuan's affordability.
she--
Originally, after graduation, I wanted to find a less busy job and control the number of activities I participate in the entertainment industry each year.
In the past four years, Ziyi has given her so much companionship and support. Qin Yuhuan wants Ziyi to devote herself to her favorite career after graduation, and she will accompany her in return.
But this means that her income will be reduced, and Shi Lilan's medical expenses and Qin Changping's living expenses will fall on her shoulders. It is difficult for her to support Shi Nianzhi who is still in school.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Ziyi at the side seemed to want to interrupt, but Qin Yuhuan quietly squeezed her hand and signaled her with his eyes not to say anything.
It wasn't until they got home and settled Shi Nianzhi down, and they had some space to themselves, that Qin Yuhuan explained, "Xiaozi, I accept that you are responsible for my mother because she is my mother, but Nianzhi is not my responsibility, nor is she yours."
"I understand," Ziyi nodded. "Uncle Qin won't give in. Let's find an expert to come and have a consultation."
But the best way is definitely to transfer to another hospital. After all, top domestic experts cannot be hired just by having money, but it is easier to hire those from abroad.
"I'm so glad I didn't give all the money I earned from filming to my family." Qin Yuhuan sat down next to Ziyi and put his hand into her palm. "Xiaozi, if it weren't for you, I would probably be in a very bad situation."
Not just the recent events, but—
When they were in high school, Ziyi said that she would let Shi Lilan take care of her in the future. When she told Shi Lilan about this with great expectations, Shi Lilan poured a bucket of cold water on her, which made her gradually wake up.
"elder sister."
"Um?"
"You'll be fine without me."
