Chapter 355: Not A Virtuous Wife (II)
Meng Yunhan’s old face turned red. She wanted to say something but ultimately did not say anything. Behind her, Han Ziyan was also trembling, looking whiter than the moon. Now that the truth was out, everyone would once again talk about this matter and call her unfilial. They would definitely say that she was a white-eyed wolf who caused her adoptive father to suffer. She hated her mother for not telling her the truth; if Meng Yunhan had told her that she did not have any money, then would Han Ziyan ask her to buy that job? Her mother did not tell her the truth.
And now the one who was suffering was her!
And that Han Ruochen! She was such a loud-mouthed person. Why did she tell the truth to everyone? They were ultimately a family; even if she was her adoptive sister, they were still sisters. How could Han Ruochen ruin her reputation like that? Did Han Ruochen think that she was living too well?
If Meng Yunhan knew that even after losing both her army and her country, Han Ziyan was still hating her, she would have definitely gone crazy!
"Alright, Aunt Han. We understand what happened, and from now on we won’t lend out any money before discussing it with Old Han." The men understood that this entire borrowing thing was all because of Meng Yunhan. Though they felt sorry for Han Yichen, they could not do anything. After all, all the wise men used to say that a man should marry a virtuous woman for this very reason, or else he would be ruined in such a manner.
They all turned to look at Han Ruochen and said to her, "Ruochen, we will not make things difficult for you."
"Thank you, uncles." Han Ruochen bowed and apologised to the men in a serious manner. "Sorry for causing you all so much trouble. My brother and I will arrange the money in a few hours for those who need it urgently, and for the rest, we will repay the money in two months, just as my mother promised."
Han Yong bitterly winced, but he still nodded. Who asked Meng Yunhan to be his biological mother? Even if he did not want to pay this debt back, he still would have to pay it back!
Sure enough, when the men saw Han Yong nod, they all left even though they were still feeling a bit resentful. After all, compared to Han Ruochen, who was a woman, they felt much better about leaving the debt in the hands of Han Yong. he was a man, and he could work harder than a woman. Surely, he would be able to repay the money very soon.
Once those men left, Meng Yunhan, who had been standing quietly in a corner, perked up. She turned to look at Han Ruochen and the rest before glaring at them. "You all are so foolish! Why did you agree to repay the money? Old Han is in such a condition already, and we don’t even have the money to arrange for his surgery. Where would we get the money to repay the debt? You could have simply ignored those people."
Now that the money was in her pocket, she did not want to take it out. Anyway, she had already given it all to Yun Xinye. Where would she get the money to return the debt?
Han Ruochen ignored her mother. She knew that her mother was shameless and there was no talking sense with a woman like her. She turned to look at the doctor and stated in a solemn voice, "Doctor, please save my dad. The surgery must proceed. We have already paid the medical fees. This is the receipt of my payment just now. Please operate on my father as for the remaining fees, we will arrange it right away."
The doctor looked at the receipt and sure enough, the woman had paid two thousand yuan. It seemed like she was quite capable despite having such a mother.
He nodded and agreed. "Sure."
Once the doctor agreed, he asked the nurses to take the patient to the surgery room. At the same time, he said, "Your father has lost a lot of blood; you should go in and test if there is anyone in your family with whom his blood is compatible. If so, donate some of your blood for the surgery."
"Alright." Han Ruochen was thinking of going outside to arrange the money, but after hearing what the doctor said, she nodded and turned to look at her siblings, including Han Ziyan. "Let’s go and test whether our blood is compatible with Dad’s."
Meng Yunhan had nothing against Han Ruochen and the rest going to donate their blood, but when she heard Han Ruochen calling for Han Ziyan as well, she turned worried. She said hurriedly, "Why are you dragging Ziyan into this mess? She is an adoptive daughter. How can she have the same kind of blood as you all? "
"Mom, we are just going to test some samples." Han Yong felt annoyed when he saw how fiercely protective his mother was toward Han Ziyan. They were already in such a situation. It was better for them to try to collect as much blood for their father as possible, but their mother was still working hard to protect Han Ziyan.
He glared at his mother and said coldly, "Even if her blood is compatible with dad, is there something wrong with her donating some blood? Our dad took care of her and raised her for so long, even though she is not his daughter. Can’t she even draw a few cc’s of blood now that he is in such a condition? Don’t tell me that she cannot even do such a small thing?"
"That’s right," Han Xuehan also chimed in when she heard her brother speak. She glanced at Han Ziyan coldly and stated without saving her any face, "Our family owes so many foreign debts because she was the one who wanted to get a comfortable job without doing anything or having the skills to pass the exams. The least she could do is draw her blood out for our father. She has no ability to repay the money back but at least she can help out where she can, can’t she?"
