Xu Fang took out four thousand yuan and put it on the coffee table. "My husband and I are just ordinary workers. We have saved this much money over the years. We know that the surgery fee is not enough, and we will slowly make up the rest."

Kong Siya didn't say anything, her eyes fell on the money.

Xu Fang's heart tightened. She didn't know what the other party was going to say next. As she was trying hard to think of a response, she heard the other party speak.

"Okay." Kong Siya smiled faintly and said only the word "Okay", without saying anything else. What she said afterwards was mostly instructing Xu Fang on how to take care of Ji Yong.

Even when the couple was escorted out of the office, Xu Fang's mind was still in a daze.

After walking out of Kong Siya's sight, she immediately asked her husband, "What does the other party mean?"

Ji Yong shook his head and said nothing.

Xu Fang also fell silent.

It’s not that Ji Yong didn’t know, but he didn’t know how to start the conversation. He was afraid that once he said it, his wife would feel looked down upon.

When they took out the money, there was no surprise on the other party's face. I guess he had guessed their intention when they came over, and didn't say much about it to save their face.

Now they are paying money to regain their dignity, but what about selling their daughter to Beijing for medical treatment? Why should they argue with you about this?

Not arguing or saying anything means that I don't even take it seriously.

In the ward, when Ji Jianhua and his sister saw the two men coming back, they immediately went over and helped Ji Yong back to bed.

"Where have you been taking so long?" When the two came back and didn't see anyone, they thought he went out for a walk, but ended up waiting for more than two hours.

When Ji Yong heard that they had been waiting for such a long time, he suddenly realized, "It's been so long."

Ji Jianhua smiled and said, "That's right, you can't tell the time either."

It was just an unintentional remark, but Xu Fang's face turned cold.

Ji Jianhua didn't know how he had offended his mother again and didn't dare to say anything.

After seeing this, Ji Yong had no choice but to kick the two children out under the pretext of getting food.

"Everything was fine, why are you unhappy again? Your in-laws didn't say anything." Before leaving, people invited them to be their guests, but Ji Yong refused.

Xu Fang pursed her lips and said, "You have only been concerned with feeding and clothing the children these years, and you don't even have a watch."

"What do I think of it? It's just a watch. If you think I'm being unfair, I'll buy one next month when I pay the bill."

Xu Fang was not coaxed into laughing this time, "Just take good care of me, no need to coax me, I'm not a child."

She could see that her husband usually pretended to coax her, but now in this situation, she still had to let her husband coax her, which made her feel even worse.

Ji Yong took her hand and patted it twice, "Don't think too much, things will get better."

Xu Fang also didn't want her husband to worry about her when he was sick. She thought that her children were grown up now and were in a better condition than before, so she felt relieved.

Outside, Ji Jianhua and his sister went to get food. Zhu Yaowu rushed out and called Ji Ling, then walked aside and said, "Your parents went to my mom's place today and took 4,000 yuan. They said they would pay it back little by little in the future."

Zhu Yaowu took out four thousand yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Ji Ling's hand without caring about anything. "My mother said that this money is all yours, and she's letting you handle it."

Hers?

Ji Ling understood.

One of the reasons why she married Zhu Weidong was that he arranged for Ji Yong to have surgery and be hospitalized, and the money was paid by the Zhu family. Now that the Ji family wants to pay for themselves, the Zhu family thinks that it is natural for her to handle the money.

Zhu Yaowu thought of his mother who was so anxious that she found him and kept muttering that the woman wanted to cancel the engagement, and urged him to come over immediately, as if she was afraid that the woman would run away.

Zhu Yaowu felt even more headache when he saw Ji Ling holding the money and not saying anything, "You are not going to cancel the engagement, are you?"

Zhu Yaowu muttered, "Getting a marriage certificate doesn't mean you can't get a divorce."

Ji Ling nodded, "You're right, I can talk to your eldest brother."

Zhu Yaowu: It was the first time he realized that he was really a bad talker.

Ji Ling stared at Zhu Yaowu with confusion.

Zhu Yaowu felt his hair run down his body when he was stared at. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Your Zhu family is well-off, your eldest brother is good-looking and has a good job, but you seem to be afraid that I will not want your eldest brother. Why do you think that is?" This was not the first time that Ji Ling had this illusion.

Zhu Yaowu's eyes widened. "Do you girls just like to daydream?"

Ji Ling, "Really nothing else?"

"No, no, no." Zhu Yaowu said it three times in a row.

Ji Ling was just talking nonsense at first, and she didn't elaborate on the matter, for fear that it would get to the Zhu family and make them think too much.

People didn't look down on her, but she still thought that the Zhu family had bad intentions. Isn't that just the farmer and the snake?

When Ji Jianhua came back with his meal, Ji Ling followed him. They didn't mention the money when they returned to the ward until three days later, when Ji Yong was discharged from the hospital. Ji Ling did not go back with him. The three of them took the train back. Zhu Yaowu helped buy a sleeper berth, and they went straight to H City. They didn't have to worry about Ji Yong's health along the way.

At the train station, after the ticket check, Ji Ling stuffed the bag in her hand into Ji Yong's arms, "Dad, take it. Let's take a look at it on the train. Inside are the clothes I bought for you, and the IOU that Chu Jingfei wrote. Don't forget to help me collect the debt at the end of the year."

"Take good care of yourself here. Call home if you have any problems. Don't be alone. Even if you get married, you still have your parents' home." Ji Yong patted his daughter and did not refuse the gift she gave him.

Ji Ling agreed with a smile, and told Ji Jianhua to take good care of the things. She watched the three people go in before walking back with Zhu Yaowu.

Zhu Yaowu guessed, "Do you have money in your bag?"

Ji Ling, "My dad and his family gave me the money because they didn't want me to feel ashamed in your house. I don't like what my mom did, but my dad is very good to me, and he got into trouble because of me. I would feel even worse if I didn't do something for him."

As for the money, it was paid by her parents-in-law, and she will work hard to pay it back in the future. It was paid by Zhu Weidong, so she doesn't need to be polite between husband and wife.

Ji Ling was a businessman in her previous life. Although she had never been married, she was married now, so there was no need for her to be pretentious. Besides, Zhu Weidong had a good character and looked good. In this era, she was lucky to marry someone like him.

Seeing that he had no idea what she was thinking and still laughed so happily in the end, Zhu Yaowu shook his head and thought that if he were in that kind of family and received that kind of bias, he would definitely not be able to be as broad-minded as Ji Ling.

The train had already started moving. Ji Jianhua put all his things away, leaving only Ji Ling's things untouched.

Ji Yong said to his wife, "Open it and take a look."

Xu Fang opened the package and found a white shirt and a bulging envelope inside. Xu Fang opened it, saw the money inside and handed it to her husband.

Ji Yong shook his head, "You keep it."

He guessed it was the money they had sent out.

The Zhu family's character and way of doing things are indeed not that of an ordinary family.

Afterwards, Xu Fang took out a new men's watch from the package, a brand new Plum brand.

Ji Yong held it in his hand and rubbed it slowly, suppressing the sour feeling rising in his nose, "Xiaoling has always been very considerate."

As a result, the one who felt the most sorry was the daughter.
