Chapter 2181
Yan Jiedi's Response
News of Tang Yanling's arrest for smuggling reached her family.
When her relatives found out she had lost money, they all rushed over to demand payment.
After finally getting rid of those relatives, Tang Yanling gave Bang Geng an ultimatum.
I can only go inside to sleep when I pay back the money to my relatives.
If she hadn't offended her family, Tang Yanling would have gone back to her parents' home long ago.
Seeing that Bang Geng was being tactless, Yi Zhonghai felt it was inconsiderate and wanted to continue to hint at things to Bang Geng.
Qin Huairu saw through Yi Zhonghai's intentions and stepped forward to stop him.
Bang Geng is her own son, and she won't allow anyone to treat him like a fool.
“Zhonghai, why don’t we send Lao Yan home first and discuss it with Jie Cheng and the others?”
I believe that Jie Cheng is not a heartless person.
They won't abandon their own mother.
Seeing Qin Huairu's resolute gaze, Yi Zhonghai ultimately didn't dare to continue his scheme.
He was afraid that if he offended Qin Huairu, no one would take care of him.
With Yi Zhonghai remaining silent, all the Yan family children looked at Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui knew he couldn't avoid it, so he agreed.
The five members of the Yan family went into their home together and closed the door.
Once inside, Yan Jiecheng told Yan Bugui what Dr. Li had told him.
"The hospital said that we should pay the surgery fee as soon as possible and get my mother the surgery done."
"If you're not willing to pay, then let my mom be discharged. In her current condition, staying in the hospital won't be of much use and would only be a waste of money."
Because the doctor said that the third aunt's tumor might become malignant.
Yan Bugui was worried about becoming an elderly person living alone, so he generously allowed the third aunt to continue to be hospitalized.
Yan Bugui slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Yan Jiecheng, that's your mother."
Yan Jiecheng said timidly, "What's the use of banging on the table? I didn't say that, the hospital said it."
Yan Bugui suddenly sighed, knowing that now was not the time to argue with them.
“You were born from your mother’s ten months of pregnancy. Now she has a tumor and needs surgery, and you really don’t care at all.”
“Dad, you can’t say that.” Yan Jiecheng was the first to object: “Mom did give birth to us, which was good, but that debt has long been settled.”
Yan Jiefang said, "That's right. We've been collecting recyclables since we were little to pay off our family's debts."
That money included the money my mother used to give birth to us and raise us.
Yan Jiekuang also stated: "Besides this money, there is also your retirement money."
You don't care about our work. After we start working, you bring your uncles to pressure us into giving you money for your retirement.
You've forgotten all that.
Yan Jiedi then said, "When I was about to go to the countryside, you and my mother didn't care at all."
After I found a job, you guys forced me to give you money for your retirement.
I had already severed ties with you all. And you still did this. Don't you and Mom feel any guilt?
Faced with the combined efforts of the four children, Yan Bugui fought back several times, but failed to gain the upper hand.
He's run out of ideas.
"Just tell me, are you going to take care of us, husband and wife or not?"
Yan Jiecheng and the others exchanged glances.
“My mother is your wife, so you are the one primarily responsible.”
“Yes. You are the person primarily responsible,” Yan Jiefang and the other two said in unison.
Yan Bugui had a bad feeling: "What exactly do you mean? If I had money, would I need to waste my breath talking to you?"
Yan Jiefang curled his lip: "Even if you have a mountain of gold, you still have to scheme and plot."
Yan Jiekuang said, "Doesn't he have a mountain of gold? If it weren't for this smuggling, who would have known that Mom and Dad actually had so much money?"
Yan Jiedi was furious: "You have so much money, but you're unwilling to spend it to find me a job."
Do you know what I'll encounter if I go to the countryside?
How many of those female educated youths who were sent to the countryside were ultimately forced into marriage?
Yan Bugui felt a pang of regret. If he had known things would turn out this way, he shouldn't have clung to the money so tightly back then.
This inadvertently deprived him of one of his methods of manipulating children.
Yes, he didn't regret scheming against the children, only regretting missing the opportunity to do so. Regret aside, he couldn't give up on saving the third aunt.
"Alright, let's not talk about the past. You guys chip in the money for the medical expenses, consider it a loan from me."
I'll pay you back slowly in the future.
Yan Jiecheng said directly, "I'm almost unable to keep my restaurant afloat. I don't have the money."
“I’m just a worker, I can’t afford it either,” Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang said together.
Yan Jiedi felt a little guilty.
She has a lot of money and can afford to take it out, but she is unwilling to.
“I can’t come up with that much money. Luo Hong is the head of the household, and he definitely won’t be happy about it.”
Yan Bugui looked angrily at the children: "I already said I would return them to you."
"If you don't take this money, I'll take your mother and go to your workplace and your home."
Yan Jiedi's workplace was the best among them, especially Luo Hong's, who was even more afraid of this move.
Therefore, Yan Jiedi was the first to stand up and object: "You keep saying you'll repay, but what will you use to repay?"
Your meager pension is barely enough to cover your food and drink.
Yan Bugui sensed something was wrong with this girl.
Although the clothes she was wearing were ordinary, her face didn't look like someone her age.
Her face was almost like that of a girl in her early twenties.
"Jie Di, do you really have no money?"
Yan Jiedi knew she couldn't give herself away in the slightest. If she did, Yan Bugui and her three brothers would pounce on her like wolves.
“What money could I possibly have? I’m just an ordinary worker. Luo Hong is just a police officer.”
Our income isn't even enough to pay for our child's tuition.
When I got married, you and my mother didn't contribute a single penny of dowry.
My son Luo Hongke remembers it all.
He disagreed with paying the money.
He told me that if I paid this money, he would divorce me.
Yan Bugui knew there was some exaggeration in her words, but he didn't expect it to be so much.
Of course, he didn't care about the amount of water.
Would someone who would even taste the saltiness of a manure cart complain about a low price?
Will not.
Thinking about Luo Hong's work, Yan Bugui felt that he could find a breakthrough through Yan Jiedi.
As long as one person makes a move, he has a way to defeat them one by one.
"He dares. You guys, Jie Cheng lost money. Jie Fang and Jie Kuang's salaries aren't high."
Your family has the best financial situation.
You'll have to pay the lion's share of your mother's surgery fees.
If you don't come out, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau and find the leaders there.
I don't believe Luo Hong would dare let their superiors know.
Despite all her precautions, Yan Jiedi couldn't prevent Yan Bugui from setting his sights on her.
Yan Jiedi immediately stood up in anger: "You're breaking the rules!"
Yan Bugui said coldly, "You forced me to do this. I told you, this money was borrowed from you."
We asked you to contribute money, but you wouldn't. We offered to lend you money, but you refused.
You're trying to drive me and your mother to our deaths.
"Since you've all done this, why should I give you any face?"
Yan Jiedi felt a little flustered when she saw the three gloating looks in Yan Jiecheng's eyes.
She had to deal with Yan Bugui quickly, otherwise her three brothers would throw her into the pit.
"Fine, Dad, you're trying to play dirty with me, aren't you? Then don't blame me for being impolite."
If Mom has an accident, you are the person primarily responsible.
Didn't you say you had no money?
I have an idea for you.
Sell the house and use the money to save my mother. (End of Chapter)
