90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

The hospital corridor was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant, and the white walls looked particularly deserted under the fluorescent lights.

In a corner, Yi Zhenjia sat on a cold, mottled wooden bench, his face tense and his eyes flashing with anxiety and despair.

In his hand, he tightly grasped a crumpled piece of paper, on which were written the many things Yi Caiting needed to pay.

Yi Caiting was beaten by Yan Silan and his wife until she bled profusely. Although she was rescued in time and her life was successfully saved, she has not yet woken up.

- Severe head trauma, ruptured blood vessels and damage to other vital organs.

The doctor said that the severe blow to her head caused intracranial hemorrhage and concussion, coupled with excessive bleeding, which led to loss of consciousness and a prolonged coma.

"You must stay in the hospital for observation and further treatment." These were the words of the attending physician.

So, in addition to the cost of emergency surgery, the bill also included a large amount of intensive care fees, not to mention blood transfusions, medications, and various tests.

Even the cheapest item is considered a large sum of money in the eyes of Yizhen's family.

At this moment, his heart was filled with indescribable guilt and powerlessness. There was only more than ten yuan left in his wallet, and he could not afford Yi Caiting's medical expenses at all.

At the other end of the corridor, doctors and nurses were busy shuttling between the wards, and occasionally anxious inquiries from family members could be heard.

Yi Zhenjia looked towards the nurses' station from time to time, but every time he saw someone who looked like a nurse walking towards him, he suddenly lowered his head and buried his head deeply.

——He was afraid of being recognized, and also afraid that the person walking towards him was here to urge him to pay the bill.

What are you afraid of?

A young nurse came over, her expression serious and tired, holding a new bill in her hand.

She walked up to Yi Zhen's family and said softly, "You are Yi Caiting's family member, right? She still needs further treatment, but the fees for the first two treatments have been used up. I need you to make up some of the money as soon as possible."

She tried to keep her tone as gentle as possible, but a hint of helplessness could still be heard in her voice.

Yi Zhenjia's eyes dimmed for a moment. He swallowed hard and looked up at the nurse, his eyes full of pleading: "Nurse, can you give me a little more time? I...my family is really in some trouble. I will definitely find a way."

His voice was low, and sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks. He was obviously extremely nervous.

The young nurse frowned and felt uncomfortable looking at his expression.

Similar scenes are not uncommon in hospitals. Many families fall into financial difficulties or even have nowhere else to go because of sudden injuries and illnesses. As a nurse, she has seen too many such situations, but she also has her own helplessness.

The predicament was not his fault, but the hospital's rules could not be broken casually.

She sighed and said softly, "Fellow family member, I understand your situation very well, but the hospital has its own difficulties. If we're always short of funds, we'll be...very...struggling."

Yi Zhenjia's face turned pale instantly and he felt dizzy, as if the whole world was collapsing before his eyes.

The little sister who had depended on him since childhood was now on her deathbed, and he couldn't even come up with more than 200 yuan. This made him feel unprecedented self-blame and incompetence.

He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and dug his nails deep into his palms, but it did not ease the pain in his heart at all.

My heart feels like it's being cut by a knife.

Yi Zhenjia didn't dare look at the nurse again, but just reached out and took another list full of payment items.

He didn't know when the nurse left. It took her a while to raise her head. Most of the people passing by him had no smiles on their faces.

Yes, who can still laugh when their family member is lying in the hospital bed.

His mind was in a mess. Relatives, friends, neighbors... He thought about them one by one, trying to find someone who could lend a helping hand.

However, it seemed... he had almost no resources to rely on.

Yi Zhenjia looked at the two lists in his hand, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and ran straight home.

The family’s money is all in Wu Guiyue’s hands. If Wu Guiyue continues to hold on to it, Yi Caiting’s life will be lost in the hospital!

however.

"What do you mean?!" Yi Zhenjia's voice was low and hoarse, filled with uncontrollable anger.

"My little sister is lying in a hospital bed right now, and she's dying soon. You're not even willing to give me this little money?! She's my own sister!"

Wu Guiyue stood opposite him with a cold expression, one hand supporting her belly and the other supporting her waist, a sarcastic smile on her lips, and a strong impatience and harshness in her eyes.

"I told you clearly yesterday, I have no money! No money! I simply have no money! Don't even think about taking a penny from me! Especially not to spend on Yi Caiting!"

In Wu Guiyue's opinion, people like Yi Caiting who bring disgrace to the family should be kicked out of the house and die in the hospital!

So that we don’t end up being laughed at after being rescued! The whole family will be laughed at!

How will she survive in the village in the future?

And what about the child in her belly? How will she live her life in the future?

Poor baby!

How did I end up with such an aunt!!!

Wu Guiyue's voice was sharp and piercing. "Didn't the hospital say she'd been saved? Why are we still charging more money? Don't you have any idea how much money she's cost the family? Why are we still pouring more money into that bottomless pit?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhenjia's face turned even uglier and he clenched his fists tightly.

He took a step forward and said through gritted teeth, "How can you be so cold-blooded?! Are you even human?!"

Wu Guiyue's tone became even more unhappy.

"Cold-blooded? I'm cold-blooded? Don't forget, that money is mine. Even if I don't consider myself, I have to consider my son. After my son is born, doesn't he need to eat?! Mom needs to see a doctor and take medicine, doesn't she need to spend money?! Is it easy for me to save some money?! I'm saying this today! I have no money! Not a penny!"

"You disappoint me so much!" Yi Zhenjia's voice trembled, and a trace of anger mixed with pain flashed in his eyes, "How can you be my sister-in-law!"

My little sister is lying in a hospital bed, and a little money could save her life, but Wu Guiyue, as the eldest sister-in-law, is being so petty?!

"Save her life? Humph, how much is her life worth? Ask her how much trouble she has brought to her family?!" Wu Guiyue retorted without showing any weakness.

Yi Zhenjia's anger completely erupted, and he slapped Wu Guiyue in the face.

After the slap...

He was confused, and Wu Guiyue was also confused.

Just as the two were confronting each other and refusing to give in, Yan Erping, who was guarding the hospital, was confused by a series of actions of a doctor and several nurses who came in one after another.
