She ran away like a gust of wind. Lu Jingchuan looked down at the clothes thrown at his feet. Before Wang Xiuhong and the others crawled over to grab them, he said to the onlookers, "Here's a pile of clothes and shoes. Twenty yuan. Anyone want any?"
“Can’t sell it.”
Li Cuihua and Wang Xiuhong tried to stop him in unison, and hurried over to try to grab the clothes, but Lu Jingchuan wouldn't give them a chance and asked again, "Twenty yuan, take it all."
The coats they both wore were new. The cost of buying cloth and cotton at the supply and marketing cooperative was more than 20 yuan. They also had other clothes to wear underneath to keep warm, plus two pairs of cotton shoes. The price was not expensive.
A woman in the crowd of onlookers took a fancy to it and responded, "I want it."
The transaction was quick and the woman left with a pile of clothes and shoes amid the hysterical shouts of Li Cuihua and the others.
Lu Jingchuan also went to the hospital with twenty dollars. He fell in love with Bai Linglong and liked her boldness and ruthlessness. He had to take advantage of the big surprise that his aunt had arranged for him.
When he arrived, Bai Linglong was talking to Doctor Wei about the surgery fee. Seeing her begging the doctor to save her and promising to pay the full fee tomorrow, he immediately went over and interrupted, "Doctor, I'll pay for it. Let's do the surgery first."
"Who are you?" Dr. Wei had never seen him before.
"You don't need to ask who I am or how much I have to pay. I'll pay it now." Lu Jingchuan said directly.
"two hundred."
Lu Jingchuan nodded, took out a wad of money from his trouser pocket, counted it carefully and found there were more than 120 yuan, plus the 20 yuan he had just earned from selling clothes, and stuffed it all into Bai Linglong's hands.
"Arrange for Auntie to go into the operating room first. I'm going back to my aunt's house to get the money and will be back in five minutes."
After saying that, without even waiting for Bai Linglong to say thank you, he stretched out his long legs and ran away.
Seeing that she could raise the money, Dr. Wei did not waste any more time and asked her to pay the money and go through the formalities. He notified the nurse to send the patient to the operating room.
Lu Jingchuan was very quick and returned in less than five minutes. Bai Linglong was paying at the window, so he immediately handed her the hundred yuan he had hastily borrowed from his aunt. "Linglong, take this money for now. Apart from paying for the surgery, keep the rest for now."
He came to Bai Linglong's rescue and really helped her a lot. She was deeply touched and said, "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
There was no emotion on Lu Jingchuan's face, but a smile flashed in his deep eyes.
Bai Linglong paid the full amount and finished her business here. Then she remembered that she had been busy dealing with the Bai family and her blind date with him had been interrupted. She was always thick-skinned but felt a little embarrassed. There was a hint of embarrassment in her smile: "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself by watching you laugh at the mess in my family."
"It's okay. Every family has its own problems."
Lu Jingchuan could understand. Although he was a city dweller, many of his comrades came from rural areas. He had heard of all kinds of strange things, and strange families like the Bai family were not uncommon.
The two walked outside the operating room and waited. Although Bai Linglong had a new core, this body belonged to the original owner and was also affected by the original owner's memories. She was very worried about her mother's safety. Her delicate brows were furrowed, and she paced back and forth at the door in panic.
"Linglong, where is your mother injured?" Lu Jingchuan asked proactively.
"Head."
Bai Linglong pointed to the right side of her head. Her expression changed as she spoke of this, her face filled with anger. "My scumbag dad cheated on me during our marriage and hooked up with the daughter of a deceased husband from my boss's family. He came back for the New Year and forced my mom to divorce him. My mom must have guessed he had someone else outside, so she didn't agree at the time."
"Those scumbags from the Bai family wanted to get on with their lives by clinging to him, and they were always trying to bully my mom. I had a fight with them yesterday. They were so outnumbered, and I was careless and couldn't protect my mom. She got hit on the head by the old hag with a stick, and she immediately started bleeding profusely and fell into a coma."
"Your scumbag dad, how did you arrange it?"
Although Lu Jingchuan had just met her, he had seen her personality and temper, and she would definitely not let him go easily.
"If he is ruthless, don't blame me for being ungrateful." Bai Linglong replied coldly and ruthlessly.
She took over all the memories of the original owner, as well as her resentment towards Bai Jianren. The quarrel last night also eroded the last bit of affection she had for her father.
Even if she hadn't taken over the original owner's body today, with the original owner's aggressive and vengeful personality, she would have made the scumbag live in vain sooner or later.
Lu Jingchuan understood that she had no feelings for her father or other people in the family. She didn't take revenge immediately because she had to stay here to take care of her and couldn't spare the time to deal with it.
He suddenly remembered something and asked her, "Linglong, your mother is waiting for surgery here, why are you still going on a blind date?"
Speaking of this, Bai Linglong looked embarrassed, but explained frankly: "I didn't have any money. My mother needed 200 yuan for surgery. Your aunt introduced me to a man and said that he would give me a 200 yuan betrothal gift, which was just enough to cover the surgery. That's why I went."
Lu Jingchuan showed a surprised expression, full of disbelief, frowning doubtfully: "My aunt said that?"
Just as Bai Linglong was about to answer "yes," the middle-aged woman who had urged her to go on a blind date that morning came running over. Even from a distance, one could sense the anger on her face. Her high-decibel voice was filled with dissatisfaction: "Bai family girl, didn't you promise me to go on a blind date this morning?"
"How can you go back on your word and not keep your promise?"
"Are you teasing me on purpose?"
"I'm helping you out of good intentions, how could you play tricks on me?"
Bai Linglong looked confused: "I went there."
"You went?"
The middle-aged woman rushed over to her, glanced at Lu Jingchuan beside her, and said in a burst of laughter, "If you went, then why was that Pan bragging in front of me just now, saying that Comrade Lu was on a blind date with her niece?"
Pan? Niece?
Bai Linglong's mind flashed with fire, and she had some absurd guess. She pointed at her and asked Lu Jingchuan, "Is she your aunt?"
"No." Lu Jingchuan shook his head.
Bai Linglong's pupils shrank, and she instantly understood the truth. She pointed at Lu Jingchuan and asked the middle-aged woman, "The person you introduced me to isn't him?"
"No." The middle-aged woman also shook her head.
Bai Linglong was speechless. Her expression kept changing, and her neck was straight. "Auntie, the person you introduced to me is wearing a black shirt and black pants, is 1.8 meters tall, masculine and handsome, in his early twenties, and his last name is Lu. He matches him perfectly. I went on a blind date with him this morning."
Now it was the middle-aged woman's turn to be dumbfounded. She stared at Lu Jingchuan and her voice broke sharply: "She went on a blind date with you? Your last name is Lu too?"
"Yes, the last name is Lu, the Lu of land."
Lu Jingchuan now understood that the person the matchmaker introduced to Bai Linglong was the man sitting next to him, but the information the matchmaker gave matched his own, so Bai Linglong had recognized the wrong person.
Now I am glad that I made a mistake. That Qing and Pan Jinlian are a perfect match, a pair made in heaven.
He was sighing in his heart, but the middle-aged woman was slapping her thigh and complaining: "Bai family girl, the man I introduced to you is named Lu, Lu as in railway, not Lu as in land. You've chosen the wrong person."
