Promise You a Prosperous Life - C5

Money again, and a hundred thousand? My head buzzed and my hands gripped the sides of the stool so that I could seem to sit still.

As I slunk out of the doctor’s office and looked up, a ray of sunlight fell on my shoulder, and I couldn’t help but linger for a long time, greedily feeling the rare warmth.

That night, my mother fainted twice, and raising money for surgery became an urgent matter.

I had to call my aunt and uncle again, I said in a tearful voice.

“Uncle, my mother has a brain tumor, the doctor told me to prepare the operation for 100,000 yuan, I have no other choice, please help me. As for the past, I apologize, as long as you can help me, I will do anything.”

This time, my phone is hanging up again. Just as I was about to jump off the building, I dialed Yu Moyi’s number with the last glimmer of hope.

I thought, after all, he and I had met once, and if I had to explain the situation, he might have lent me some money.

After a long “Di Di” sound, Yu Mo Yi’s phone call finally connected. I immediately coughed and said as gently as I could.

“Director Yu, my mother urgently needs a hundred thousand yuan for the operation. Can you lend it to me? “I–”

Before I could finish “Swear to write the promissory note”, Yu Mo Yi interrupted me impatiently with a harsh voice.

“Gu Yan, we only had one night.” I’ve already given you fifty thousand yuan. Please stop racking your brains for money in the future, or I’ll call the police and let them know. Teach you greedy woman. ”

Yu Mo Yi’s words were like daggers, stabbing fiercely at the self-esteem I was barely able to maintain, but I didn’t care. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to borrow money.

When I tried to explain the situation again, I found that Yu Mo had already hung up the phone.

The last path was blocked, and I felt as if my bones had been wrenched out of my body.

I took my mother to heaven to find my father.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the ward was pushed open. Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xi Fang walked into the ward with benevolence on their faces. For the first time, they held my hand and asked about my warmth.

I answered them one by one, but I didn’t understand how the people who had been avoiding me had suddenly become warm-hearted.

The two of them looked at each other, then Zhao Xuefang took out a piece of paper covered with words and said with a troubled expression.

Gu Yan, your uncle and I know that you’ve encountered a problem this time, but we are also ordinary people, so we can’t take out that much money in a short while. This is the contract for your house, so as long as you sign it, you can rest assured that even if your uncle and I borrow money from the loan, we’ll still have to pay the operation fee of 100,000 yuan.

I suddenly understood. I finally understood why Gu Chengbei and Zhao Xuefang’s attitude took a 180 degree turn. It turned out that the two of them were deliberately thinking about my house.

My house is in the new district, and the place is in a good environment. Even if I sell it cheaply, it would be around 500,000 yuan.

I pushed her hand away and replied in a deep voice, “The house was left to me and my mom. It’s our home, so I won’t sell it.”

Zhao Xuefang’s shrewd eyes flashed as she put on an appearance of having no other choice.

“Gu Yan, don’t think that you’ve lost out on selling your house. You know, even in that house, your father died from an accident and your mother went crazy. This is extremely unlucky in most people’s eyes. If it wasn’t for you, your uncle and I, we wouldn’t have bought it.”

I can tolerate them slandering me, but I can’t hear them slandering my parents.

I opened my eyes wide as I glared at Zhao Xuefang and Gu Cheng, ordering them to leave. “You are not allowed to talk about our family’s matters to outsiders. If there is nothing else, please leave, uncle and aunt.”

An extremely impatient expression flashed in the eyes of Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xuefang, and they suppressed it afterwards. Zhao Xuefang ignored it and held my hand for the second time.

“Gu Yan, it’s all my fault that your aunt is so outspoken. I’m apologizing to you, but didn’t you say a thousand to ten thousand years for the sake of raising money for your mother to see a doctor? So, don’t be sentimental, you have to decide what to do.”

Thinking of Mom, my nose turned sour and my vision blurred. So what if I understood Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xuefang’s intentions? So what if he knew the house was for sale? Is there any other way?

I can’t possibly delay my mother’s illness for the sake of external things.

Finally, with trembling hands, I reached for the contract for the transfer of the house. Just as I was about to sign it, Yu Mo Yi’s voice sounded from the top of my head.

“Gu Yan, you really refresh my view every time. Aren’t you afraid of bearing the crime of being unfilial by selling your house like this?”
