Chapter 365: A Biased Fool (II)
Han Yong had taken care of his colleagues everywhere he could, and just this one time, just because he wanted to borrow some money from them, they actually called him names and mocked him for being useless. Even now, he could not forget the looks those men had given him when they were mocking him.
Apart from his old master, no one had treated him kindly. They even said that it was better for his father to die because what was the point of his surviving the surgery when his son was a failure? A man who could not even save his father, as he did not have any savings—what good would he be in the future? It would be better for Han Yichen to die before he could suffer any longer. Of course, Han Yong could not listen to the taunts of those men and fought with them fiercely.
He did not have enough money in his pockets, but his fists were still stronger than ever. He beat those men up until they could not even stand on their feet.
"What about sister-in-law and your in-laws?" Han Ruochen saw the injuries on her brother’s body, but she did not rush to help him. She wanted to see what the reaction of Xu Yuanshu and her family was.
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Yong curled his lips and snorted. "Them? They did not even open their doors when I went to look for them. I screamed at the door and asked them to return the money that they had taken from me, but they did not even make a peep."
He knew that they were inside. After all, he could smell the scent of pork lard being fried inside the house, but his wife and in-laws did not even open the door, nor did they ask about his father’s condition. Forget about lending him money!
"Maybe they think that dad will not survive, so they don’t even want to keep the pretence up." After all, Xu Yuanshu was Meng Yunhan’s niece; she must know that they have no savings. Since that was the case, where would they get enough money to save their father? And Father Xu was like a tight-shut clam. Once money reached his pockets, it would be close to impossible to take the money out from him. He would rather peel a layer of his skin than let money leave his grasp.
Han Yong clenched his fists when he heard Han Ruochen’s words.
Han Ruochen noticed the determination in his eyes and did not say anything more. She only wanted to make her brother see how the world would treat him if he did not get back on his feet and take charge of the Xu family.
"Let’s go, there is no need to worry. I have already borrowed the money and paid the surgery fees," said Han Ruochen when she saw how despondent her brother looked.
"You... where did you borrow so much money from?" Han Yong was stunned when he heard that his little sister had borrowed the fees for the surgery. How come she was able to borrow money when he couldn’t? It was not that he looked down on his sister; he was worried that she had been cheated by someone. As a man, he understood men better than anyone. His sister was so good-looking; what if someone wanted to steal her?
"Don’t worry, brother. I am not a fool; this money came from legitimate sources and in a while, I will return to the sea and bring back some treasures. I will naturally return the money very soon." Han Ruochen was confident in hersea-scanningg system. With it by her side, she could earn twenty thousand yuan very quickly.
Han Yong wanted to say something more, but Han Ruochen did not give him a chance and dragged him to the hospital.
Once the two of them entered the corridor, Meng Yunhan saw the two of them coming at once.
"Where have you been? Do you even know how long we have been waiting for you two?" Because of Han Ruochen’s fuss, everyone in the hospital now knew that she was the heartless woman who gave away the life savings of her husband to her maternal home; every time she went to the cafeteria or to pee, she would hear someone mock her. Meng Yunhan was so embarrassed that she felt like burying herself in a hole.
She was suffering here, and these two brats were roaming freely. As soon as she saw them return, she turned into a fierce lioness and started to slap and hit the two of them. She even scratched Han Yong and Han Ruochen countless times. If Han Ruochen had not been protected by Han Yong, there was a good chance that she would have been disfigured.
"Sister-in-law! What are you doing?" The worker was stunned when he saw Meng Yunhan hitting and slapping the two kids. What was going on? Were the Han siblings adopted or picked up from the streets? Or were they Han Yichen’s illegitimate children? How could a biological mother be this ruthless?
He rushed to push Meng Yunhan away from the two kids and yelled, "Sister-in-law, no matter how anxious you are, you have to be reasonable! They are just kids and have few connections. What can they do?" He then turned to look at the two children and said to them slowly, "I will ask the workers to arrange some money for your father’s surgery; please don’t worry."
At the thought of how Meng Yunhan was behaving instead of borrowing money, he felt speechless.
As an adult, Meng Yunhan could not come up with the money but she hoped that the children would somehow manage to cough up such a huge sum of money.
These two kids had been running around since morning and did not even get a chance to take a breather, and yet Meng Yunhan was still not satisfied.
"What are you doing?" Old Madam Han had gone to the restroom, and when she returned, she saw Meng Yunhan hitting her two grandchildren; she shrugged off her second daughter-in-law and rushed to where Meng Yunhan was standing.
