After standing for a while, Ding Manman felt tired. With the old lady’s persuasion, she returned to the ward and bumped into the nurse at the front desk.
“Are you people from ward eight?” Your medical expenses are not much, not enough for the next hospital fees and treatment fees, so hurry up and hand them over.
At this time, Ding Manman remembered that she had given the bank card to the old lady. In Ding Manman’s eyes, the old lady was a good person. When she fainted, she took her home. When she didn’t feel abandoned by the whole world, the old lady took her in.
From a different perspective, Ding Manman’s life and two children were given by the old lady.
“Okay, I got it.” I will hand it over soon. The old lady thought about how she could get more money, and how to find a reason to not let Ding Manman see the flaws. Otherwise, if Ding Manman took the child out of the hospital and ran away, the layout of such a long time would be in vain.
Before she came to the hospital, the old lady had already released news that there was an Eastern woman who had just given birth. The child was still a man and a woman. They could sell all of them together or separately, as long as the price was right.
“Waifu, do you have more money for the card?” Give me the card after you pay.
When she heard this, the old lady pretended to be angry. “What’s wrong?” Are you not trusting me? I’m so old, yet I still want your money? I might die tomorrow. What’s the use of asking for your money?
“No, no, no, don’t be angry. That’s not what I mean. I only have the money from the card.” No one has been looking for me for such a long time. No one will help me. The child has to be raised by me. I have to have some money to buy them some clothing while I’m recovering. Ding Manman almost cried when she said this.
“Alright, don’t cry. Women can’t cry when they’re still in their moons. It hurts their eyes greatly. Alright, I’ll pay for the medical fees. Wait for me here. I’ll give you the card when I come back.” After that, the old lady turned and left. She was really afraid that she would tell Ding Manman the truth if she stayed a little longer.
However, thinking about how her son’s huge gambling debt was waiting to be repaid, the old lady told herself in her heart that there was no way she could turn back and that things had progressed to this stage.
The old lady had asked her to collect the money and estimated the fee she needed for the next ten days. She had deducted it at once. There were less than 10, 000 left in the card and there would be one or two thousand left when she was discharged.
“The amount of money left in the card isn’t much. It’s probably less than 20, 000. Take it well. When you’re discharged, go and prepare some daily necessities for the child.”
Less than 20, 000 left? In order to prevent accidents from happening, Ding Manman saved almost a million dollars in the card. How could she have been left in such a few days? Ding Manman doubted whether the money had been used somewhere else by the old lady, but she had already angered her. Now that she asked, it would only add fuel to the fire. Now that she was the only one by her side, she had to borrow the old lady’s house when she left the courtyard.
Seeing Ding Manman’s question, the old lady took the initiative to say, “The price here is not low, and the best things are used during the operation. Even the recovery after the operation is the best and the special care that the child uses is very valuable. I want you guys to be better, and I don’t care too much about the price, so I accidentally left that little.”
Ding Manman believed in the old lady’s explanation.
“Well, I’ve really troubled you these days. Maybe after I’m discharged from the hospital, I’ll continue to trouble you for a while. I don’t have anything to repay you now, but you can rest assured that when I recover, I will immediately invest in my work and make money to raise you and children.
Making money to raise her? These were the most heart-warming words that the old lady had heard in so many years. However, WHAT’S done cannot be undone, no matter how much it was, she still had to walk to the end.
“Silly girl, take good care of your injuries. I’m already very happy that you guys can accompany me. Don’t be too anxious about making money. It’s the most important thing to keep your body well.
Ding Manman spent the remaining days in the hospital with gratitude. During these few days, the old lady would occasionally not come, but she would also arrange for nurses to deliver the best nutritional meals.
The few days the old lady didn’t go were to deal with her son’s gambling debt. The group had given her a deadline. If she didn’t return all the money in half a month, she would cut off his hands and feet and let him beg on the street. He was afraid, so he cried and begged the old lady to return some of the money to the casino and promised to return the remaining money in half a month.
Mother’s love was great, so the old lady gave up the bottom line of being a human for her child. When she returned home, she started to spread the news that she wanted to sell Eastern women and exaggerate it.
Listening to the old lady’s introduction, Xu Yan felt that it was Ding Manman, but now that Xu Yan was not sure where Ding Manman was, he dared not act rashly, nor did he dare to tell anyone else. After such a long time, he knew how much everyone wanted to find Khai. He was afraid that his misjudgment would give them hope and give them greater disappointment.
In the end, Xu Juan decided to investigate the truth himself first, and he decided to pretend to be a buyer to talk to the old lady. From the old lady’s mouth, Xu Yan knew that the Eastern woman had just given birth a few days ago and was currently recovering in the hospital. Now, the old lady was in a hurry to sell Ding Manman because of some urgent matters.
It was not right for Xu Yan to think about it carefully from the information he learned. Ding Manman’s birth date was one month later, so she couldn’t give birth to the child now. Besides, Ding Manman was not that stupid.
Therefore, Xu Juan gave up on this clue. Later on, he found out just how stupid he was now. If he was willing to persevere for a while more, all the results might be different.
Ten days passed quickly. When Ding Manman and the child were discharged from the hospital, the old lady came to the hospital early that morning and brought Ding Manman and the child back home. She continued to spread news about women selling their children behind her back.
If she really couldn’t do that, she had to give him all the rest of her old age money, but the old lady still hoped that she could leave some insurance for her life.
