Mr. Ji took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it in Xu Fang's hand, "This is your mother's and my retirement money."

The old man didn't say much, just put down the money and walked out.

Xu Fang held the money with a burning face.

Li Songlan rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, take it. Saving people is the most important thing right now. I'll pay you back when I have money in the future."

"What to pay back? No need to pay back, our parents are supported by us." Ji Xin's eyes widened, "Let's go, Mom is still waiting at home."

If there weren't so many people here, Ji Xin would have wanted to take action. He pushed people out of the ward and advised Xu Fang, "Sister-in-law, don't get angry. I'll take care of you if you need anything next time."

He gave his wife another warning glare.

Xu Fang said, "Dad, wait a minute."

Without looking at Ji Xin and his wife, Xu Fang walked around the bed, walked to her father-in-law, and handed him the bandage. "Dad, take this money back. If Ji Yong was conscious, he wouldn't let me take this money. And the problem of the surgery fee has been solved."

Old Man Ji didn't take it and said, "Take it. Return it to me when you don't need it."

He left without looking back.

"Mom, have you got the surgery fee?" Ji Jianhua looked at his mother. He didn't want his mother to be stubborn just to save face.

Xu Fang nodded, "Yes, but your rent has to be included."

After hearing this, Ji Jianhua knew that his mother was not lying and a smile appeared on his face.

Li Songlan whispered, "This is good news."

But no one paid any attention to her.

Ji Xin confirmed with Xu Fang again and again that it was really enough, and only then did he feel relieved.

After Ji Xin and his group left, Xu Fang asked Ji Ke to go to the compound to get lunch. Only Ji Ling and Xu Fang were left in the ward. Ji Ling also wanted to visit Grandma Zhu, but as soon as she stood up, she was stopped by Xu Fang.

Xu Fang looked at her unconscious husband on the bed and spoke slowly, "Just now I said that I have collected all the money for the surgery. What do you think?"

Ji Ling looked at her and said, "This is a good thing."

Xu Fang looked up and said, "Your father was hit by a car because of you. Isn't it right for you to save your father?"

Ji Ling still nodded, her eyes calm, and she had some vague guesses in her mind.

Xu Fang was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw her daughter's indifference and no guilt, an invisible fire rose in her heart, "Someone wants to buy your college admission letter, and I have agreed. As long as I get that money, your father's surgery fee will be enough."

The weather in August was very good. Even through the door, I could still hear the sound of people walking in the corridor, and there was life everywhere.

There was deathly silence in the ward.

"What do you mean by not saying anything? Do you disagree?"

"Will it be useful if I disagree? Haven't you already agreed?" After knowing from Zhu Weidong that her father's accident was not an accident but was intentional by the other party, Ji Ling had already guessed two possibilities.

One is to arrange the surgery, and the other is to pay for the surgery.

Obviously the last trick is more useful and direct.

After all, the Wei family doesn’t have the ability to go to the capital.

If she was really surprised by anything, it was Xu Fang's attitude. She was clearly asked to make such a big decision, but she didn't show any guilt or pleading, but spoke in a direct commanding tone.

“Who wants to buy it?”

Xu Fang drooped her eyelids. "Don't worry about this. Just agree."

Before Ji Ling could hear her voice, Xu Fang continued, "If you want to blame or hate me, just come at me. In your eyes, I have always been a bad person, so I will be a bad person to the end. The factory recruitment has ended this year, and you can take the exam to get a job in a factory next year. I will no longer be involved in your affairs in the future, you can do whatever you want."

Ji Ling was amused. "In other words, I will use the money from this surgery to buy my freedom for the rest of my life? But I've never heard of any children who don't have freedom and whose fathers have to decide everything for them when they grow up. If you spread this, won't people laugh at you? Don't you care about your face the most?"

Xu Fang was ridiculed and her face turned blue with anger. "Ji Ling, don't forget that you owe your father this. If it weren't for you, your father would have been hit by a car? From childhood to adulthood, you only know how to cause trouble. I'm your mother, so what's wrong with slapping you? Is it unforgivable? You ran out in the middle of the night and almost killed yourself, and made us bear a bad name. Now you are fine, but look at the bed, your father is still young and has a bright future, and you ruined it."

Compared to Xu Fang's hysteria and ferocious expression, Ji Ling was too calm and did not waver at all. "If I tell you that my father's car accident was caused by someone who was eyeing my college admission letter, would you still sell the letter to him?"

Xu Fang's eyes widened and trembled violently. The previous anger turned into shock, but in an instant it turned into sarcasm, "You can make up such a lie. Are you so selfish that you would rather watch your father die?"

"The two people who attacked me at night have confessed to the police station. They have been watching me for a while and have been looking for an opportunity to attack me. I haven't offended anyone before, so why would they target me? If I'm fine, they will start with my dad and force our family to a dead end."

Xu Fang interrupted her with a sharp voice and murderous eyes, "Shut up, why are you saying all this? You know it's all because of you. As long as you hand in the notice, everything will be fine."

"Yes, as long as I hand it over, everything will be fine." Ji Ling no longer wanted to ask, "What about my life?"

Yes, she feels selfish if she doesn't hand it over.

What she was still obsessed with was nothing more than the thoughts left by the original owner in her body, and she also wanted to verify that she possessed that little bit of pitiful maternal love.

The bitterness in her heart was not Ji Ling's, but the original owner's. It was like the pain of her heart being tightly squeezed together, suffocating and wanting to break through everything.

With one breath in and one exhale, all the feelings suddenly disappeared, as if something invisible was dissipating silently.

Ji Ling didn't know when she walked out of the ward. When she touched her face with her fingers, she realized that she was crying.

No, these were the last tears shed by the original owner.

"Girl, why are you crying here alone?" A kind voice brought Ji Ling back to her senses.

She tilted her head slightly and saw Grandma Zhu being supported by Zhu Yaowu. She didn't know how long they had been standing there.

She hurriedly stood up and helped Grandma Zhu to the other side, "Grandma Zhu, why are you here?"

"You can't lie down all the time." Old Mrs. Zhu slowly sat down on the chair and turned to urge her grandson, "Go get me a cup of hot water."

Zhu Yaowu said "oh" and glanced at Ji Ling's face when he turned around before leaving.

"I came over just now and saw you crying. Are you crying because of your father?" Old Mrs. Zhu spoke slowly and softly, her voice gentle, making people feel close to her.

Ji Ling nodded, "The doctor said that we can go to the capital for the surgery."

"It's good that it can be cured." Old Mrs. Zhu looked at her with a smile, and took out a handkerchief from the pocket of her hospital gown and handed it to her, "Wipe your tears quickly, a girl's tears are precious, you can't let them fall casually."

Ji Ling awkwardly took the handkerchief and thanked her, then turned her back to wipe her face and said, "Grandma Zhu, I'll give it back to you after I wash it."

"Don't be anxious." Old Mrs. Zhu looked at the little girl in front of her. The more she looked, the more she liked her, and the more distressed she felt.

In fact, she lied. She asked her grandson to help her go to the ward where Ji's father was staying. She heard the conversation between the mother and daughter outside the ward, but she avoided them because she was afraid that the little girl would be embarrassed. Later, when she saw the little girl running here alone, she followed her.

I don’t know if there will be a third update, if there is it will be later.
