Chapter 50 isn't just one million yuan?

  "One hundred thousand? You're giving it out? Hmph... Easy to say, don't make empty boasts. Don't even mention one hundred thousand, can you even take out ten thousand, you little brat?"

  Upon hearing Su Lin's words, Wei Hongwei became even more disdainful. After meeting Su Lin last time, he had already conducted an investigation. Su Lin's family was just an ordinary working-class family, and his parents' monthly salary combined was less than 5,000 yuan. It would be impossible for them to come up with 100,000 yuan all at once, let alone Su Lin himself, even if the entire family chipped in.

  "Kobayashi, what nonsense are you talking about? Where did you get that kind of money, it's 100,000 yuan!"

  Ye Xingzhu also knew about the Su family's situation, and the deposits of Su's father and mother would not exceed 100,000 yuan. So, she thought that Su Lin was just talking big, and his purpose was to let Ye Xingzhu not feel inferior for following Wei Hua.

  "I didn't brag or talk nonsense. Sister Zhu, you wait here for half an hour, I'll go back and get the money."

  Su Lin suddenly became calm, he knew that he was just talking nonsense, and neither Wei Hongwei nor Zhu Jiejie would believe that he could really take out 100,000 yuan.

  You must bring out 100,000 pieces of genuine gold and silver in order to be convincing.

  "Alright! Hehe... I'm waiting to see where you, this little brat, can come up with 100,000 yuan. Xingzhu, take a look at this kid you've been saying you like, and it turns out he's still just an immature little punk who doesn't consider the consequences of his words and actions. He doesn't even know his own weight, so following me is the wisest choice for him."

  Wei Hongwei didn't believe that Su Lin could really take out 100,000 yuan. In his opinion, this was just Su Lin's nonsense to save face. However, this was exactly what he wanted. The more childish and immature Su Lin acted, the less Ye Xingzhu would like him.

  Then, Wei Hongwei further provoked Su Lin: "Don't mention that your brother bullied you, stinky brat. If you can really take out 100,000 yuan, I swear that from now on, I will never come to find Xingzhu again. Hehe, but unfortunately, by the time you can really earn 100,000 yuan, who knows what year and month it will be? At that time, my children with Xingzhu will be able to make soy sauce!"

  "Alright! You wait, Sister Zhu, I'll be right back."

  Su Lin didn't get angry or annoyed, but instead calmly said.

  Since you, Wei Hongwei, don't believe I can come up with the money, isn't it just 100,000 yuan? I, Su Lin, happened to have raided a gang's hideout today and secretly intercepted 200,000 yuan of illicit drug transaction funds. Taking out 100,000 yuan is more than enough.

  "Kobayashi, stop messing around. You're already eighteen years old, you should have some semblance of an adult. There are things that you can't do, and in life, there are many things that we are powerless to do anything about."

  At this time, Ye Xingzhu suddenly shouted loudly at Su Lin.

  Ye Xingzhu's mind is a mess, worrying about her mother's surgery on one hand and trying to figure out how to pay for the expensive medical bills on the other. Having no other choice, she sought help from Wei Hongwei, but Su Lin still came to stir up trouble.

  Although Ye Xingzhu knew that Su Lin was doing it for her own good, not wanting to spend the rest of her life with someone she didn't like. As for Su Lin, Ye Xingzhu had previously not dared to truly determine what feelings she had for him, a mix of familial and romantic love, the kind that grew up together from childhood, taking care of each other, now suddenly made her realize it was inseparable.

  "Kobayashi, I'm sorry. Even Take-shi can't do anything about it."

  She let out a sigh, steeled herself and patted Wei on the back, took a deep breath and asked: "Wei, please don't quarrel with Xiaolin anymore. Can you go with me now to pay for my mom's medical expenses first?"

  "Alright, alright. Xing Zhu, I've brought my bank card with me. But remember, you have to keep your word. Tomorrow, I'll take you home to meet my parents. They've been hearing me talk about you every day and are eager to meet you, their future daughter-in-law. And... hehe... tomorrow night... you can stay at my place... hehe..."

  He pulled out a bank card, but Wei Hongwei's eyes were rudely scanning Ye Xingzhu's body, and Ye Xingzhu, dressed in a nurse's uniform, added an extra touch of temptation.

  "Zhu jie, don't use his money. Trust me, just wait a moment, I'll be right back."

  Su Lin couldn't persuade Ye Xingzhu, so he threw out this sentence and turned around to run back and get the money. Only by laying out a stack of bright red banknotes could he make Sister Zhu believe him.

  One hundred thousand! It's this one hundred thousand!

  Although Ye Xingzhu and her mother Liang Guizhen have been dependent on each other since childhood, they were very poor. However, because of this, the mother and daughter are even more proud, cherishing their own dignity and reputation.

  However, Ye Xingzhu never thought that he would one day sacrifice his happiness for the rest of his life just because of 100,000 yuan.

  Looking at Su Lin's indignant face, Ye Xingzhu couldn't help but feel indignant too. Why was the world so unfair? Some people were born with a golden key in their mouths and didn't need to work hard to live a life of luxury and wealth. While others like herself had to see through the essence of society from a young age - money, money, money; without it, nothing could be done, and for its sake, they were forced to do everything...

  Closing her eyes, she turned away, Ye Xingzhu didn't dare to look at Su Lin again. Silently, two lines of tears quietly fell from the corners of her eyes.

  Su Lin, who had just left the hospital, rushed home in a hurry. It was already past 10 o'clock at night. He hailed a black taxi at the hospital entrance and headed home.

  "I will absolutely not let Sister Zhu marry Wei Hongwei!"

  It's only when people are about to lose something they originally had that they start to feel it's especially precious. It's only after losing it that they know how to cherish, and only after losing it that they know its value.

  Sitting in the taxi, Su Lin's mind was filled with Ye Xingzhu's appearance. Pigtails, floral skirt and a little girl-like appearance of Sister Zhu. Wearing jeans, short hair and a T-shirt, a pseudo-young boyish Sister Zhu. Nurse uniform, long hair and a curvy figure of Sister Zhu...

  This is Bamboo Sister, my Bamboo Sister, the one and only Bamboo Sister who belongs to me.

  After getting off the taxi, Su Lin rushed home and went straight to her bedroom.

  "Kobayashi, it's so late, your parents came back and didn't see you at home, where did you go?"

  Liu Aizhen saw Su Lin come back and asked in a bad mood.

  However, Su Lin didn't have time to answer his mother at this moment. He ran to his bedroom and found the old fertilizer bag he had hidden. When he opened it, there were stacks of 100-yuan bills inside, totaling a full 200,000 yuan.

  "You stinky little brat, mom is asking you a question, why aren't you answering? Tomorrow is the last parent-teacher conference at your school, and coincidentally both your dad and I are currently unemployed, so we'll be going together..."

  Liu Aizhen had barely spoken when Su Lin hastily took a bag of money from his room and rushed to the door.

  "Kobayashi, where are you going?"

  It's so late, and he's still going out, how could Liu Aizhen not stop him?

  "Mom, I'm going to the hospital with Sister Zhu..."

  Su Lin didn't have time to explain much to her mother either. If she let her mother know that she was using 200,000 yuan to help Zhu Jie, it would probably take half a day just to explain the source of the 200,000 yuan.

  So Su Lin directly rushed out of the door and left, Liu Ai Zhen wanted to chase but couldn't catch up, watching as Su Lin got into a black car after leaving the yard.

  "This kid, it's already so late, and there's nothing serious going on with Xing Zhu either. Even if something were to happen, what could a mere child like him possibly do?"

  "Let Kobayashi go! Ah... the Yagi family has encountered such a big event, and we can't help much. Fortunately, Hoshizaki is a sensible and strong child since childhood. Hoshizaki and Kobayashi have been close since childhood, let Kobayashi accompany her!"

  "But isn't there still class tomorrow? The college entrance exam is almost here." Liu Aizhen worried.

  "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't tomorrow a half-day parent-teacher conference? Let Xiaolin take a break too."

  As he spoke, Su Guorong couldn't help but sigh. The roof leaks just as the rain pours down at night, and both he and his wife have been laid off from their jobs. And to make matters worse, something similar happened in Ye's family too.

  As soon as he got off the car, Su Lin asked the black car driver to wait for him at the door, which just saved the time of hailing a taxi.

  Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

  At night, the road was empty and unobstructed. It only took twenty minutes for Su Lin to return to the Municipal Hospital.

  This time, Su Lin didn't come empty-handed. He rushed directly into the municipal hospital's outpatient department and ran to the second-floor operating room. Su Lin was holding a tattered fertilizer bag in his hand, causing nurses and doctors along the way to cast sideways glances at him with strange looks.

  However, the fertilizer bag in Su Lin's hand had a somewhat "rustic" feel to it, but it was actually filled with 200,000 yuan in cash. Not a deposit slip or a bank card, but twenty stacks of brand new 100-yuan bills.

  "Xing Zhu, you see, I've even helped pay your tuition. Now, you're my girlfriend, my fiancée, so it's not excessive for me to give you a hug, right?"

  Just after paying the bill with Ye Xingzhu, Wei Hongwei couldn't wait to stretch out his hand and hit Ye Xingzhu.

  "Let's talk about it after my mom gets better."

  Ye Xingzhu's expression was cold and detached, her heart as dead as ashes. Looking at Wei Hongwei's face, she thought to herself: Is it really going to be like this for the rest of my life, with someone like him by my side?

  "Alright! I'm waiting. Anyway, I've already given you 100,000 yuan and you've personally agreed to it. Xingzhu, if you go back on your word later, don't blame me for being forceful."

  Being soft doesn't work, so Wei Hongwei will use a hard approach. Anyway, this is what both parties have agreed upon, no matter how you put it, he won't be in the wrong. Spending 100,000 yuan on medical expenses is equivalent to buying Ye Xingzhu such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and no matter how you calculate it, this deal is too cost-effective.

  "Bamboo sister, I'm back. What are you doing, Weiwei? If you dare to lay a hand on my Bamboo sister again, believe me, I'll beat you to death!"

  Outside the operating room, Su Lin rushed back in a hurry and saw Wei Hongwei trying to approach Ye Xingzhu. Suddenly, he was furious, took a step forward, grabbed Wei Hongwei's suit collar, and stared at him with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
