Kong Wuming's son An An was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, commonly known as blood cancer, when he was 3 years old.

When other children were in kindergarten, he was in the hospital for three years undergoing chemotherapy.

He is 6 years old this year and weighs less than 30 kilograms. The pain and torture from illness have made it impossible for his body functions to keep up.

The child has been hospitalized for many years and has never lived a normal life. The family savings have been emptied out, and all relatives who could lend money have borrowed money. When many people heard about the child’s condition, they advised them to give up and have another child as soon as possible.

He and his wife held on for three years, during which time they sold their house and took out a loan. They were just one step away from selling the gym, the family's last source of income.

In the middle, I met President Kobayashi, who came to Evergreen University.

His salary plus the improving income from live streaming enabled him to pay off his overdue medical bills and buy the best medicine for his child.

When he thought everything was getting better, An An's condition suddenly worsened and the hospital once again issued a critical illness notice.

When Kong Wuming rushed to the hospital, his wife Zhao Hui was staring at the emergency room with blank eyes.

"The doctor said An An's condition is not optimistic. Chemotherapy alone is no longer enough. She must undergo a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible." Zhao Hui covered her face and sobbed softly. "The cost will be about 30 yuan, and we have to wait for a suitable match."

"Take my sample and I'll match it for the child." Kong Wuming was anxious to find a doctor.

Zhao Hui held him back: "The doctor said that if An An can successfully survive this infection, he will ask his relatives to do a matching test as soon as possible so that we can be mentally prepared."

"It's okay. It will be okay." Kong Wuming held his wife's shaking hand. "I'll figure out the money issue."

"I have already contacted an agent on the way here. I am planning to sell the gym. I don't mind a low price as long as I can get cash."

"I'll go borrow some more. We finally made it this far and we have to perform surgery on the child."

"Where are you going to borrow it from? I owe more than 20 yuan, and I haven't paid it back yet." Zhao Hui beat her legs in despair to keep herself calm.

Looking at his son in the emergency room, he was in agony: "My poor child, you must be safe. Mom and Dad will sell everything they have to save you."

"We will take out loans no matter how high the interest rate is."

The two of them suffered outside the emergency room for several hours, and An An was finally pushed out.

"Family members of the patient, An An's condition has stabilized. We need to prepare for the bone marrow transplant as soon as possible." The doctor explained the situation to them and comforted them, "Most patients will gradually get better after a transplant. As long as you pay more attention, they will be no different from normal children. An An is very strong. You must have confidence in your child."

Kong Wuming thanked the doctor and couldn't bear to look at his pale-faced son.

The hospital came to urge them to pay the surgery fee, and Kong Wuming went there in a daze. The only 1 yuan he had was reserved for An An's medical expenses.

All the money they took out was not enough to cover the cost of the surgery. Although they had medical insurance and the doctors were trying their best to help them apply for subsidies, the money was still not enough.

Kong Wuming sat in front of the payment window. Lin Qinglan hurried over and asked, "Teacher Kong, how much do you need?"

"Principal Lin, why are you here?" Kong Wuming felt uneasy when he saw Lin Qinglan, who was out of breath.

He left halfway today and caused quite a bit of trouble. Lin Qinglan didn't blame him, but he felt bad about it.

Principal Lin is a very nice person. He gave him an extra bonus of 10,000 yuan last month because he had full attendance. When he heard that he wanted to advance his salary, he gave it to him without hesitation.

"Here's one million. Take it. Consider it a loan from me. Just continue to study hard like before."

Lin Qinglan shoved the card into his hands and stopped him from kneeling. Her tone was unusually firm: "I know all about your situation. Just stay with your child as he prepares for surgery. I'll approve a month's leave from school for you."

Kong Wuming's eyes were red and he kept bowing.

The 1.8-meter-tall square dance tough guy's back gradually bent under the relentless pressure.

He really needs this money. With this money, there is hope that An An's illness will be cured.

An An can now run and jump like a normal child and will not be tortured by pain and unable to sleep all night.

Kong Wuming has already prepared for the worst. He can sell his blood and kidneys, even if he has to sell himself, to raise money for his son's surgery.

Lin Qinglan's words rekindled his hope. He kept bowing, "Principal Lin, you are our family's savior. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back. As long as I can cure the child first, I will pay you back even if I work 10 jobs a day."

"Principal Lin, you are such a kind person. Kind people will definitely be blessed."

"You don't need to approve my leave. I've already caused you enough trouble. I'll go back to class as soon as the child's condition stabilizes."

"I skipped class today and borrowed such a large sum of money from you. I really don't know how to thank you."

Lin Qinglan felt sad when she saw Kong Wuming crying, and she also admired his long-term persistence.

She followed Kong Wuming to see An An who had regained consciousness.

The skinny child, with sunken cheeks and numerous needle holes under his loose clothes, held her hand with pale fingertips and thanked her sweetly.

Kong Wuming's wife thanked her again with red and swollen eyes.

Looking at the family of three crying with joy, Lin Qinglan quietly left the ward.

"Xiao De." Lin Qinglan called the system in a low voice.

She remembered the turntable for the side quest, which contained cash rewards and some auspicious words of blessing.

She had complained to the system before, saying that everything except cash was a consolation prize.

But now she wanted to pray for some good luck for the child.

"I want to use up those two draws."

"Host, you will get what you wish for." Xiao De's voice fell, and the turntable started.

Once it stopped at happiness, and once it fell on peace.

She hopes Kong Wuming's family can overcome the difficulties and that An An can live the rest of her life in peace and happiness.

Lin Qinglan prayed silently in her heart.

……

She only started to deal with the public opinion fermenting online when she left the hospital and was on her way back to school.

In the hospital, she did not tell Kong Wuming about the news on the Internet, as she did not want to cause him psychological burden because of such unfounded remarks.

The situation was worse than she thought.

Lin Qinglan's car was surrounded when it entered the school, and she was drowned in accusations and insults from the crowd.

The reporter who first wrote that article was holding up a microphone, his eyes glowing with determination. "President Lin, is it true that the teachers at Evergreen University earn 10,000 yuan?"

"If this is true, have you defaulted on your salary?"

"The son of a teacher at your school is in hospital and needs money for treatment. Are you taking advantage of him by withholding his salary?"

“Please respond positively.”

The reporter insisted that Lin Qinglan would remain silent, so the truth would depend on how he wrote it.
