Chapter 17: Inexplicably Bitter
After eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Fang said goodbye and left after receiving Yu Zhiming's detailed description of the incident.
Yu Zhaoxia said with emotion, "For something like this, the two families should have reached a settlement privately, each getting what they wanted, right?"
"Is it necessary to get to the bottom of this?"
Yu Xinyue's sense of justice overflowed as she retorted, "Sister, if it's against the law, it's not something that can be negotiated between our two families."
"If this continues, won't the world be dominated by the rich? If they have money, they can do whatever they want."
"Isn't that right, Old Five?"
Yu Zhiming, who was named, hummed and said, "The law is nothing but human nature, but the bottom line cannot be touched."
"Those two families acted so blatantly. I think I'm going to be in big trouble."
Yu Xinyue habitually retorted, "I don't think so."
"Doesn't the law rely on evidence? They still say innocent until proven guilty? If there's no concrete evidence, and the two families colluded to give their confessions, refusing to change them, and then took care of other people..."
"It's hard to say what the outcome will be."
"What's real can't be fake, and what's fake can't be real either!"
Yu Zhiming replied with little strength and looked at Yu Chaoxia again.
"Sister, where's dinner? I'm hungry..."
After a while, Yu Chaoxia prepared Yu Zhiming's dinner and brought it to the coffee table in the living room.
The dishes included Mushu pork, stir-fried beef with celery, braised hairtail, half a salted duck, and a bowl of bitter melon and egg soup.
The main course is a large plate of freshly fried dumplings.
All these foods were very much to Yu Zhiming's liking, and he was really hungry.
He ate very fast and ate a lot.
Yu Zhiming took a big sip of bitter melon soup, swallowed the food slowly, and then gestured to his elder sister with his eyes to point to Fu Xiaoxue's tightly closed bedroom door.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Sister, how did Xiaoxue perform on the first day of the college entrance examination?"
Yu Zhaoxia sighed softly and said, "I don't dare to ask."
"I guess I didn't perform very well. I had a sullen face throughout dinner and didn't eat much."
"I'll just put up with her for two more days."
She said angrily, "As soon as the college entrance exam is over, I'm definitely going to find a reason to beat her up and vent my anger."
Yu Xiangwan's eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "Sister, are you really willing to give it up?"
"If you're really willing, count me in!"
"Shall we give her a two-man doubles match?"
Yu Chaoxia suddenly didn't want to pay any attention to this sister anymore.
Yu Xiangwan curled her lips, looked at Yu Zhiming, and said, "Old Five, I asked someone who knows about those two bottles of red wine to take a look. They said they were aged wines from Chateau Cheval Blanc in France."
"The market price is around six or seven thousand a bottle."
Yu Zhiming groaned and said thoughtfully, "One bottle. Send it to Deputy Director Wang of the Obstetrics Department tomorrow. He usually drinks red wine."
"We can't let him do this for nothing."
"Take the other bottle to Binhai and give it to Dr. Qi."
He then explained, "Fourth sister, the assessment date has been set. It's next Thursday."
"Fourth sister, you, me, and Xiaoxue..."
Yu Zhiming remembered that his elder sister was right beside him, so he asked, "Sister, do you want to go to the coast with us?"
Yu Zhaoxia chuckled and said, "There are still a lot of things to do at home."
"I won't go this time. Once you've settled down in Binhai, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Hey, why don't you let Xiaoxue go with you? You're going to Binhai for business, not for fun."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll do my own thing. Fourth Sister is busy as always."
"Besides, Xiaoxue is not a child. She doesn't need to be watched and accompanied all the time."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming reminded Yu Xiangwan, "The three of us will go next Wednesday and stay back on Sunday."
"You take care of the round-trip tickets and accommodation. I don't care where you and Xiaoxue go when we get to Binhai."
Yu Xiangwan rubbed his right thumb and index finger and said with a grin, "Old Five, as long as the money is in place, I will definitely make sure you have a comfortable stay."
Yu Zhiming snorted and calculated, "A round-trip high-speed train for three people costs 2,000 yuan; accommodation for three nights, two rooms..."
Yu Xiangwan interrupted, "Old Five, you have high requirements for accommodation conditions. You must stay in a good hotel. One thousand per night?"
"Three days of eating, drinking and having fun, plus shopping and buying some gifts, it would cost at least a thousand a day, right?"
Yu Zhiming waved his hand and said, "Fourth sister, I'll give you 10,000 yuan. If you spend more, you can pay for it yourself!"
“No problem!”
Yu Xiangwan stretched out his right hand towards Yu Zhiming.
"Boss, give me the money!"
Yu Zhiming slapped Yu Xiangwan's palm and chuckled, "Go get it yourself."
"Also, give another 60,000 to Big Sister..."
Yu Zhaoxia was a little confused, "Why give me 60,000?"
Yu Xiangwan quickly explained, "Big sister, this is to pay you back for buying this house. Not just you, but also Second Sister's, Third Sister's, and Old Fifth Sister said we have to pay it back too."
Without waiting for Yu Zhaoxia to refuse, Yu Xiangwan said again: "Sister, Lao Wu is not the same as before."
"He will be rich soon, a lot of money at that. You don't have to be embarrassed about the mere 60,000 yuan."
Yu Zhiming took over and said, "Sister, Xiaobo is only two years younger than me. If you have a girlfriend, you have to buy a house and get married, right?"
"Xiaoxue's college education is also a considerable expense."
"Sister, take these 60,000 first."
"I'll give it to you when I make more money."
"Old Five..."
Yu Chaoxia didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt like her child had finally grown up, and her nose felt a little sore.
At this time, Yu Xiangwan had already taken the money out of Yu Zhiming's bedroom.
She stuffed the money directly into Yu Chaoxia's arms.
"Sister, besides our parents, the fifth child listens to you the most and treats you the best. After all, he drank your milk when he was a child."
"Old Five treats you like his mother and respects you, which is only natural. Just take it with peace of mind."
Yu Xiangwan's words drew Yu Zhiming's angry glare.
Yu Chaoxia even took direct action and hit Yu Xiangwan hard several times.
"Yu Xiangwan, you're itching again, aren't you?"
Yu Xiangwan quickly dodged and said aggrievedly, "It's not something shameful. Every time I talk about it, you react so strongly."
What Yu Xiangwan mentioned about drinking milk was the serious accident that Yu Zhiming had when he was a child.
It is said that Yu Zhiming was on the verge of death at the time and could not eat anything.
At that time, Yu Chaoxia had given birth to her eldest son less than half a year ago.
She followed the old man's advice and tried to breastfeed Yu Zhiming, who was over two years old.
This method actually works.
Yu Zhiming was breastfed for more than half a month before his body recovered and he was no longer in danger of death.
Later, Yu Zhiming, who recovered but lost his sight, became Yu Zhaoxia's little tail, following her wherever she went...
After dinner, Yu Zhiming returned to his room and sat at his desk to read the latest medical journals.
He was still a little nervous about next week's talent introduction assessment.
After all, his original medical foundation was relatively weak, and the level of his colleagues was just so-so.
Yu Zhiming understood that in terms of the depth and breadth of his knowledge, he was definitely inferior to those young doctors in big cities and hospitals who were constantly exposed to the world.
These differences are caused by objective circumstances, which are difficult for Yu Zhiming to change. He can only read more and watch more to enrich himself.
After eleven o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming received a video call from Su Tong.
In the video, Su Tong looks a little tired and is walking.
"Finished for the day?"
Su Tong hummed and said, "I'm done with my work and exhausted. I understand that the fetus's monitoring data today is quite good."
"Zhiming, you really saved him."
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and said, "When I, Yu Zhiming, take action, I can naturally cure the disease with ease."
"Look at you showing off!"
Su Tong also smiled and asked, "Zhiming, you said you were going to Binhai to work, is that true? Or is it false?"
"Which hospital?"
"Huashan Hospital!"
Yu Zhiming added, "I have to take part in their on-site talent recruitment assessment next week and I have to pass it before I can apply."
Su Tong said "oh" and immediately widened his eyes again.
"Talent introduction?"
"Isn't this an onboarding competency assessment?"
"Zhiming, have you become a talented person?"
Yu Zhiming bared his eight teeth, flicked the hair beside his ear, and said with a cocky look, "If I don't make a sound, I'll be nothing. But if I do, I'll make a big splash. That's me."
"Su Tong, don't say I won't give you a chance. I'm still single."
"It's not too late for you to chase me now."
Yu Zhiming saw Su Tong making a vomiting gesture in front of the camera.
After a moment, Su Tong's face tightened again.
"Narcissist, tell me the truth. Did you eat up the quiet, considerate, and understanding Yu Zhiming?"
Yu Zhiming's smile widened as he said, "How is that possible? I'm still the same person. Actually, I haven't changed much."
A smile suddenly appeared on Su Tong's face.
"You're much more cheerful and confident now, which is a change I like!"
The two chatted and exchanged information about the current situation of several classmates.
"Hey, Zhiming, do you still remember Gao Yun, who is recognized as the most beautiful in our class?"
Yu Zhiming nodded, and then he heard Su Tong roar: "I know she is also in Binhai, working in pharmaceutical sales."
"I heard she's doing quite well. If you go to Binhai as a talent recruitment agency, maybe you can attract her attention."
"Zhiming, this is a chance to embrace a beautiful woman!"
These words made Yu Zhiming feel inexplicably bitter...
