Chapter 2200
: The Surgery Fee Solved
The next day, Yan Bugui secretly came to Chaoyang Hotel again, and he even deliberately avoided Xu Damao.
In fact, Xu Damao never came over.
Now that he's the boss, he doesn't have that much free time to play mind games with Yan Bugui.
After waiting in vain for a day, Yan Bugui gave up and found the person who had offered 80,000 to sell the inkstone.
Having received the money, Yan Bugui couldn't possibly pay the surgery fees directly to the three women.
In that case, the children would suspect him, and Yi Zhonghai's side wouldn't let him off the hook either.
Yan Bugui then called the children to the hospital.
"The doctor said your mother's surgery can't be delayed any longer."
I'm asking you all, are you going to do anything about it or not?
The children all remained silent, unwilling to take the lead.
As a member of the Yan family, I know the Yan family rules all too well.
Anyone who dares to step forward will be thrown into the pit by the others and then trampled on.
As the one who established the rules of the Yan family, Yan Bugui naturally understood what was going on.
“I’m telling you, if you dare to ignore this, I’ll take your mother to your workplace and your home in a wheelchair.”
I wonder how you'll face people then.
"Dad, this is too shameless of you."
"Yes, you're breaking our family rules."
The children all strongly opposed it.
The elderly woman lay on her hospital bed, shouting, "Don't you have any filial piety at all? Do you really want to watch me die?"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. We're not being unfilial, it's just that we don't have that much money."
"Yes, your surgery will cost over 30,000 yuan, and with the follow-up treatment, it will be at least 50,000 yuan. Even if we sold ourselves, we still couldn't come up with that much money."
The children took turns complaining of being poor, but refused to give any money.
Despite knowing the outcome beforehand, Yan Bugui and his wife were still very heartbroken.
Yan Bugui shouted, "Shut up, all of you! Can't you learn from the ancients and understand the principle of lying on ice to catch carp?"
"That doesn't comply with our family rules."
A single family rule shut Yan Bugui down.
In the Yan family, no matter what the discussion is about, one cannot avoid mentioning a family rule.
You won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead.
In the Yan family, the act of lying on ice to catch carp is a villainous example.
Yan Bugui also knew that his child had grown up and become independent.
Even when the three old men joined forces, they couldn't force the child to pay.
It's even more impossible for him to do it alone, so we can only follow the family rules.
"No matter what, your mother is sick, you can't just ignore her."
Seeing that the children were about to object, he quickly stopped them: "Listen to me."
According to family rules, your mother and I will take half, and the rest will be shared among you all.
Yan Jiecheng knew that Yan Bugui and the Third Aunt's money had not been confiscated, and the two of them had no money.
He asked, "Dad, where did you get the money?"
How could Yan Bugui possibly tell him, "I borrowed it from someone, is that not allowed?"
Don't worry about where my money came from.
You should think about how to get the money out.
Your mother is waiting for the money for surgery.
Yan Jiecheng immediately forgot about the origin of the money in Yan Bugui's hands.
His first priority at this point was to figure out how to allocate the money.
It's impossible without spending money.
If Yan Bugui really turns against them and sues them for being unfilial, even if they aren't arrested, they'll still lose all face.
The four siblings immediately reached a consensus.
"Dad, this isn't fair. You're the one who bears the most responsibility for Mom's illness."
Yan Bugui knew exactly what the child was thinking, and said angrily, "I've already covered half the cost, what more do you want?"
His appearance frightened a few children, but only for a short while.
For money, the Yan family would risk their lives; how could they be intimidated by Yan Bugui? After a heated exchange, Yan Bugui lost and was forced to bear 60% of the costs.
The remaining 40% is 10% for each child.
It wasn't that Yan Bugui had lost; he was just heartbroken.
His child's disrespect deeply pained him.
"Everything's been divided, so let's get the money."
Although it's only five thousand yuan, it's still not a small amount.
Apart from Yan Jiedi, the three Yan brothers, including Yan Jiecheng, were struggling to come up with the money and all shook their heads, asking for a few more days.
The next day, Yan Jiedi delivered the money to Yan Bugui and had him write a receipt.
Yan Bugui asked suspiciously, "Where did your money come from?"
Yan Jiedi immediately realized that she had given the money too readily, which aroused Yan Bugui's suspicion.
She quickly made up an excuse: "Luo Hong borrowed it from a colleague."
Next, our family will have to scrimp and save to pay off our debts.
Dad, if you ask me, once Mom gets better, you shouldn't hang out with that old man anymore.
"Sell the house and take the money to a nursing home."
In order to get rid of Yan Bugui, Yan Jiedi used the nursing home to distract him.
Yan Bugui fell for it as expected, pointing to the door and saying, "Get out of here."
Five days later, after Yan Jiefang paid 5,000 yuan, the three women finally underwent surgery.
When Xiao Huaihua brought food, she learned that the Third Aunt was having surgery, and she told Qin Huairu the news.
Yi Zhonghai then learned the news and, with his men, waited for Yan Bugui in the courtyard.
Yan Bugui also knew that the news could no longer be kept secret, so he did not try to hide it.
"You guys haven't rested yet?"
Liu Haizhong had already been fooled by Yi Zhonghai. Upon seeing Yan Bugui, he was the first to come up and ask, "Old Yan, you're really being unfair."
We're here trying to raise money for you, and you, having gotten the money yourself, didn't even tell us."
Yan Bugui explained with a dejected look, "I just received the money too."
I even fell out with several children in order to raise money.
They only contributed 20,000 yuan; the rest I borrowed from former students.
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong believed Yan Bugui's words: "Your children just need to be taught a lesson."
Yi Zhonghai didn't believe him and asked directly, "You borrowed 30,000 yuan, how do you plan to pay it back?"
That's 30,000 yuan, no small sum. If Yan Bugui can't pay it back, no one else will lend him any more.
This is the biggest point of contention.
Yan Bugui had already come up with a plan: "I plan to sell all the flowers I grow. I'll also sell some of the furniture I don't need anymore."
As for the rest, we'll figure out a way to pay it back slowly.
If I really can't pay it back, I'll use the house to pay off the debt after I die.
Anyway, my son is unfilial, so I don't plan to leave the house to them.
This effectively shut down what Yi Zhonghai wanted to say.
If Yi Zhonghai continues to press the matter, he will have to fall out with Yan Bugui.
If things fall apart, the retirement plan will be even more impossible to complete.
For the sake of his retirement plan, Yi Zhonghai could only turn a blind eye.
"Old Yan, don't worry, it won't come to that. Everyone will help you."
Yan Bugui looked at the people present and found that Qin Huairu was the youngest.
But Qin Huairu is over fifty years old, and all she knows how to do is wash and clean.
How to help?
However, he wasn't disappointed, since he would still need Qin Huairu for his retirement.
"Let's talk about the future later. Huairu, this is my and my husband's food allowance."
The doctor said she needs to eat something nutritious, and he'll have to take good care of her.
As long as you pay, Qin Huairu is happy to work, and she assured Yan Bugui with a smile, "Don't worry."
I can't guarantee you'll have lavish meals, but I can certainly ensure your wife gets a hot meal.
With Yi Zhonghai around, Yan Bugui could still trust Qin Huairu. (End of Chapter)
