"Your sister-in-law and I haven't saved much money in the past few years. You can keep these two thousand yuan."

Xu Fang pursed her lips and said, "Brother, we will definitely pay you back in the future."

"Ji Yong's medical treatment is a big deal, we can talk about the money later." Xu Wangting put down his briefcase and moved a chair to sit down beside the bed. "I just saw Jianhua and Xiaoling go to their grandfather's house. I don't know how much money they can borrow."

"Let's borrow as much as we can." Xu Fang hadn't counted on that. "Such a large amount of money for surgery, how can an ordinary family like us afford it?"

That night, Xu Fang stayed by the bed and hardly blinked. She burst into tears whenever she thought about these things, and her eyes were swollen.

"You have to come together even if you can't. You can't just stand there and watch people like this." Xu Wangting looked at his sister and said sternly, "You should also cheer up. Three children are watching you. You are a mother. What will they do if you collapse at this moment? Don't say such discouraging words in the future."

Xu Fang pursed her lips and did not refute.

Xu Wangting took a deep breath, "Ji Yong never woke up once? No consciousness at all?"

Xu Fang shook her head. "When I'm alone, I talk to him, but he doesn't respond at all."

Xu Wangting glanced at the bed and asked, "Xu Fang, did Ji Yong tell you about Xiaoling's admission letter being hidden?"

"I did." Xu Fang was slow to react. After replying, she looked over and frowned. "What happened again?"

Xu Wangting hesitated, "I was thinking that since the other party has this idea, what if I sell the admission letter to them? Ji Yong is in need of money. I just suggested it, don't think too much about it. It was your sister-in-law who mentioned it last night. I think this is not a good idea and I have scolded her. Seeing you frowning and worrying about money, I..."

Xu Fang opened her mouth in surprise, then slowly closed it. After a long while, she asked, "How much money will the other party give?"

Xu Wangting's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said earnestly, "You have to think about it carefully. This is not a trivial matter. It affects Xiaoling's future life, as well as the opinions of outsiders. Even her parents may not agree."

Finally, his eyes fell on the hospital bed, "When your brother-in-law gets better, he will blame you, too."

Xu Fangqiang smiled and said, "You can blame me, I will bear it alone. My family really has no other choice, this is the only way out. Big brother, you can go and ask them, I have the admission letters of the two sisters with me, and I was thinking of getting them letters of recommendation for school in the next two days."

Xu Wangting stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go ask and get back to you as soon as possible."

"Brother." Xu Fang called out to Xu Wangting who had already walked out, and hesitated for a moment, "It's okay, you go ahead."

Xu Wangting nodded and strode away.

Xu Fang sat back on the bed. She would be lying if she said she wasn't sad. Her elder brother really knew who the attacker was, but he didn't stand up for them. Instead, he suppressed the matter.

She used to blame her elder brother, but now she was glad that they didn't have a falling out, otherwise she wouldn't even have this option now.

Afterwards, Xu's mother brought Ji Ke to the ward and brought a passbook with 7,000 yuan, which was all their savings.

Xu Fang took the passbook with guilt, "Mom, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Xu's mother sighed, "Why are you still saying these polite words now? Just focus on taking care of Ji Yong. What did the police say? Was he caught for hitting someone? Can they compensate for the medical expenses?"

Xu Fang shook her head, "Jianhua is the one running around. He and Ji Ling went to their grandfather's place."

Xu's mother guessed that he had gone to borrow money, "Such a big thing happened, they have to be notified."

Not long after sitting down, Xu's mother went back to make lunch.

Ji Ke stayed in the hospital while Xu Fang went to the next bed to rest.

"Hello." As Ji Ke closed the door, he shouted at the departing figure.

Zhu Yaowu turned around and stood still when he saw Ji Ke. Ji Ke pursed her lips and saw that the other party didn't say anything and just looked at her indifferently. When she was about to find something to say, she saw that the other party turned around and walked towards her. She was delighted.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yaowu raised his chin, "Are you going to apologize for your sister again?"

Ji Ke's eyes suddenly turned red with embarrassment, "No, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to say hello to you."

Zhu Yaowu was born into a wealthy family and was spoiled since childhood. He grew up in a circle of power and wealth. He had seen all kinds of calculations of people since he was a child. People like Ji Ke were too shallow in their circle and could not be considered presentable, so he did not take them seriously at all.

"Do you like to say hello to people you don't know?" If he didn't want to find out about Ji Ling, he wouldn't even look at her.

Ji Ke's face turned red, and he stammered, "I didn't."

Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, Zhu Yaowu turned away in boredom.

Looking at the receding figure, Ji Ke wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand and returned to the ward. She found that her mother had already gotten up. Noticing that her mother had red eyes, she asked in confusion what was wrong.

"I just met the Zhu family and talked to them for a few words." Ji Ke lowered his head.

Xu Fang frowned, "Stay away from them next time you see them. The old man in their family saved Ji Ling, and he's furious."

Ji Ke hummed.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Old Man Ji and two other people walked in.

Xu Fang quickly stood up and called out "Dad", and Ji Ke also called him "Grandpa".

Old Man Ji grunted and stared at his son on the bed, watching him walk steadily to the bed. But if you look closely, you will find that his body trembled violently after he reached the bed.

"Dad, don't get angry. The doctor said that as long as we go to the capital for surgery, we will get better." Xu Fang advised, while letting her son help the patient sit down.

Old Man Ji's eyes never left his son. After Xu Fang tried to persuade him a few times but got no response, she asked her son to talk aside. Ji Jianhua only reported good news and not bad news, and did not mention the incident of Old Lady Ji swearing.

Even if he didn't say it, Xu Fang could guess it. When she saw that her mother-in-law was nowhere to be seen, she knew what was going on.

Afterwards, Ji Xin and his wife also arrived one after another.

Ji Xin was calmer. He called Ji Jianhua out and asked him about everything. When he heard about what happened after Ji Jianhua resigned and wanted to start his own factory, he did not blame him. He only asked if the rent for the factory could be refunded first.

Now that his sister-in-law seems useless and his nephew has never experienced anything, he has to step up and take on all of this.

"I'll go see the landlord this afternoon."

"Okay, go talk to the landlord. If you can't sign a contract, you can just agree to defer the lease for a year." Ji Xin felt something was wrong again, "I'll go with you."

Ji Xin turned around and went back to the ward to call for help. Old Man Ji was taking something out of his pocket.
