Chapter 2179
The Yan Family's Predicament
After the farce of choosing an old man that day, the courtyard house calmed down.
Unable to think of a solution, Yi Zhonghai could only hide in his room and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Without Yi Zhonghai's backing, Qin Huairu and the others had no choice but to behave themselves.
When Liu Haizhong returned home, he rummaged around and found all the remaining savings in the house.
They relied on these savings to make a living, as well as to pay for their second aunt's hospitalization.
Yan Bugui's side really doesn't have much left. The couple was too greedy; in order to make more money, they were willing to sell the house.
All my savings were invested.
Qin Huairu can only rely on the remaining money from Yi Zhonghai to make a living.
In other words, Jia Zhangshi was lucky and didn't need to be hospitalized.
If the patient really needs to be hospitalized, the Jia family simply cannot afford it.
Yi Zhonghai has been hiding in his room for several days, and he basically doesn't go out except to go to the toilet.
If you go close to his house, you'll hear him constantly cursing He Yuzhu inside.
He blamed all his current predicament on He Yuzhu.
He believed that all his suffering was caused by He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu was unaware of all this, and when he learned of Xu Damao's actions at the courtyard that day, he showed no expression.
He Yuzhu is no longer in Beijing, but in Shandong.
His grandson was just born.
Lin Jinghan had just returned from the United States and came here with him.
Looking at the small bundle, He Yuzhu suddenly felt a sense of relief.
He knew that this wasn't his own feeling; the suspicion was Sha Zhu's subconscious.
Sha Zhu dedicated his entire life to the courtyard house. He was worthy of everyone in the courtyard house, but he failed his own son.
When He Xiao got married, he had to take care of Qin Huairu and didn't have time to attend He Xiao's wedding.
Just as Sha Zhu had booked his plane ticket and was preparing to go south, Qin Huairu happened to fall ill.
Sha Zhu didn't even have time to cancel his plane ticket before taking Qin Huairu to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Yi Zhonghai and his two companions immediately surrounded Qin Huairu, pointing at Sha Zhu and accusing him of angering her.
By the time Sha Zhu finished dealing with BJ's affairs, He Xiao's wedding had already been held.
Later, He Xiao's child was born. This time, Qin Huairu didn't get sick; instead, it was Yi Zhonghai who fell ill.
At that time, Yi Zhonghai was confused and would grab anyone he saw and call them "Silly Zhu".
Qin Huai knelt before Sha Zhu, begging him to take care of Yi Zhonghai.
In addition, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui criticized Sha Zhu for being heartless, ungrateful, and forgetting the kindness Yi Zhonghai had shown him.
To prove he wasn't an ungrateful wretch, Sha Zhu stayed in Beijing to take care of Yi Zhonghai.
In the end, after both of these incidents, Sha Zhu still didn't know what illness Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai were suffering from.
He Yuzhu held the little child and put his finger to the child's lips.
There was spiritual spring water on his fingers.
The child tasted the spring water and instinctively stuck out his tongue to lick it.
Lin Jinghan said enviously, "That brat is just like his father, he has no conscience."
That's how it was when I gave birth to his father.
"She cries when anyone else holds her, but as soon as Brother Zhu picks her up, she stops crying immediately."
He Yuzhu laughed and said, "This shows that I'm close to them."
"Gao Ying, you've worked so hard. I've been cooking for you all these days."
"Thank you, Dad. I've been wanting to eat your cooking for a long time," Gao Ying said quickly.
He Yuzhu didn't dare let the child taste too much of the spiritual spring water, so he removed his fingers.
The child who drank the spring water stuck out his little tongue twice more, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After putting the child down, He Yuzhu went to cook.
He Yuzhu then settled down at He Yuanhang's house.
The Yan family started making trouble again in the courtyard.
You might say that the Yan family's children are all unfilial. They frequently visit their aunt in the hospital.
But if you say they are filial, they always go empty-handed and don't care about the three aunts' meals.
As for the surgery fee, it's still under debate. Nobody wants to pay for it.
They all knew that if anyone dared to pay, the others would absolutely not ask any further questions.
From now on, we will be jointly responsible for the care of Yan Bugui and the Third Aunt.
That's the rule in the Yan family.
As time went on, even the hospital found out.
The doctor who was in charge of admitting the three women found Yan Jiecheng.
"I only allowed the hospital to admit your parents because of you two."
Are you deliberately trying to trick me by acting like this?
Yan Jiecheng explained, "Old Li, you can't say that. We don't owe your hospital any money."
My dad only stayed for one day, and the medical expenses have already been paid.
My mom has been living here, and my dad has been paying the medical bills.
Dr. Li said helplessly, "Yes, your family does not owe any medical bills."
But your family's affairs have become the biggest joke in the hospital.
Everyone who comes to the hospital knows about your family's situation.
He has four children, all of whom are quite well-off.
Not a single person will contribute money to your mother's medical expenses.
Yan Jiecheng said, "Don't talk nonsense. I really have no money."
I got ripped off this time; all my money was confiscated by the fine.
What am I supposed to do?
Dr. Li said, "If you don't have money, why don't you borrow some? I've heard that there are several wealthy people in your hospital."
Oh right, I remember you said that Sha Zhu from your compound is the owner of Chaoyang Hotel.
Why don't you go and borrow money from him?
Yan Jiecheng sighed: "Do you think I don't want to go? The problem is, they're ignoring me."
My dad and two old men in our compound offended someone a few years ago.
I'd be grateful if they didn't kick me when I'm down.
There was another reason, which Yan Jiecheng did not mention.
That means going to borrow money from He Yuzhu, regardless of whether He Yuzhu will lend it or not.
Let's discuss whose name should be credited for this debt.
Yan Bugui is impossible. Since He Yuzhu moved out, he hasn't seen anyone in the courtyard, especially Yi Zhonghai and the other two.
We can't just put this debt on them. What's the difference between that and making them pay for it?
Dr. Li couldn't understand how a conflict could arise between neighbors in the same courtyard.
"Isn't your dad an elementary school teacher? What did he do to deserve such resentment?"
"It's hard to say," Yan Jiecheng answered honestly.
It's really hard to say, mainly because Yan Bugui has done too many unethical things. Yan Jiecheng was embarrassed to say it.
Dr. Li suddenly thought of the Yan family's nature: "Your father wouldn't be scheming to take something from someone else, would he?"
"I did try to scheme against them, but I didn't succeed."
"Is there anything else?" Dr. Li was too lazy to ask any further questions.
Yan Jiecheng said embarrassedly, "Don't ask. I brought my mother here so you could get medical treatment, not so you could meddle in our hospital's affairs."
Even if you brought Bao Zheng (a famous judge in Chinese history), he couldn't solve all the messy things in our courtyard.
Dr. Li pointed at Yan Jiecheng: "Okay, I won't ask anymore. I'll tell you, your mother hasn't been feeling well lately, which has affected the tumor in her body."
"If you don't have surgery as soon as possible, and the tumor becomes malignant, even a miracle won't save you."
After Yan Jiecheng came out of Dr. Li's room, he called his younger siblings together.
"That's the situation. Mom needs to have surgery as soon as possible. The problem now is, who will pay for the surgery?"
No one spoke up, because no one was willing to take on this responsibility.
"Say something. The hospital keeps pressuring me, I can't take it anymore."
Yan Jiefang: "Our mother is our father's wife, so if anyone should pay, it should be him. Let's go find him first." (End of Chapter)
