Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 24 Entering Beijing 1

"You are a mighty and valiant man, lassoing the horse..."

Xiaomeng was at work. She didn't have any tasks at the moment, so she was just sitting in the office slacking off when she heard her phone ring. Huh? It's her sister. She rarely calls her while she's at work.

Xiaomeng quickly answered the phone, but there was no sound on the other end.

"Hey, sis, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Xiaomeng sat up straight immediately and called out to her repeatedly.

The older sister on the other end of the phone seemed to break down all at once, bursting into tears. "What should we do, Xiaomeng? Dou Dou is sick, and Liangzi said he wants to give up. Waaah, Dou Dou can still be saved! How can he be so heartless..."

Xiaomeng's temper flared up immediately. "What? What illness does Dou Dou have? Is it serious? Why are you saying you're giving up? Which hospital are you in now? I'm coming to find you right away."

DouDou is her older sister's daughter, only five months old, very cute. She doesn't want to believe that DouDou could have a serious illness.

Xiaomeng found out that her sister was still at the town hospital in the countryside, told her that she would take leave immediately and go there, and told her not to wander around.

Xiaomeng took out her phone and sent a message to Manager Teng, explaining that she had something to do at home and needed to ask for leave, which might be for a few days or a while, and apologized to him.

I'm really sorry that I've only been working here a short time and I've already taken such a long leave.

Before Manager Teng could reply, she got into a taxi and headed straight for her hometown, which was more than 200 kilometers away.

It wasn't that she didn't want to drive, but she was afraid that she would be in a hurry and that it would be dangerous to drive on the highway, so she simply called a taxi.

Professional taxi drivers are fast and safe.

As soon as the car entered the highway, Xiaomeng received a reply from Manager Teng that her leave request had been approved. He even comforted her, telling her not to worry about work and to go ahead and attend to her own business.

How understanding!

Two hours later, Xiaomeng arrived at the town hospital where her sister, Lin Cuiling, was located.

The town's hospital was very basic, and Xiaomeng found her sister in the hospital's stairwell.

My sister cried until her eyes were swollen, while my brother-in-law just stood there silently smoking.

Xiaomeng pretended not to see him, walked over and put her arm around her sister's shoulder. "Sister, I'm here. How is Dou Dou? What did the doctor say about her illness?"

Upon hearing her sister's voice, Lin Cuiling looked up abruptly and, seeing that it was indeed her sister, burst into tears.

"Xiaomeng, DouDou doesn't have a terminal illness, she can still be treated..."

"But the doctor said it would cost more than 100,000 yuan, which we can't afford."

"Let's just give up. We can have another child later," my brother-in-law said pathetically from the side.

Hearing this, the older sister cried even louder, but she didn't argue. She just buried her head in Xiaomeng's shoulder and hugged the child even tighter.

At this moment, a nurse heard the older sister's cries growing louder and came over to check on her. "Why haven't you taken your child to a higher-level hospital yet? What's the use of crying here?"

Seeing that the couple didn't answer her question, she asked, "Really? They said you're going to give up? Are you serious?"

Such a good child, and you're just going to give him up for a few hundred thousand?

What a terrible thing to do.

You should at least try to get help from a higher-level hospital.

Maybe it won't cost that much money; you could even take out an online loan or borrow money from relatives.

How could we just give up?

“We won’t give up. I’ll borrow money, even if I have to beg on the streets, I will get my child cured.” The older sister’s sobs subsided a little, perhaps because her younger sister was by her side, and she finally made up her mind.

Her words seemed to frighten her husband: "Go and borrow? Who would lend you money? Do you even have any relatives you still keep in touch with?"

I told you not to overthink it.

“Then I’ll borrow money from online lenders, even high-interest loans. I need to get money to treat my child. I can’t just give up on her like this.” Lin Cuiling gradually calmed down.

Liangzi was speechless. "How dare you? So much money, who's going to pay it back?"

"Xiaomeng, look at your sister, she's gone mad! You should try to talk to her."

Xiaomeng wiped away her sister's tears, "What's there to persuade me about? This is how it should be. Sister, don't worry, I'll take you to find a big hospital outside, we'll find the best hospital, no matter what the illness is, we will cure the child."

“Yes, we’ll go right now.” Encouraged by her sister, Lin Cuiling stood up immediately, hugged the child tightly, and was about to walk out.

Liangzi threw down a sentence from behind, "If you want to borrow this money, borrow it yourself and pay it back yourself. Don't expect me to help you."

Lin Cuiling stopped in her tracks. "Fine, since your family dislikes my daughter and me anyway, let's get a divorce now."

"After the divorce, the money I borrowed will no longer be with you."

"Divorce?" Liangzi didn't expect Lin Cuiling to be so ruthless.

"Yes, it's divorce. Otherwise, the money I owe will be considered joint debts of the couple, and you will also have a share in paying it. Have you thought it through?"

"What?" Liang Zi was shocked upon hearing this; he clearly hadn't expected this.

"Aren't you going to get a divorce? If you don't, I'm going to have to take out an online loan right now." Lin Cuiling gritted her teeth and took out her phone.

"No, okay, let's get a divorce." Liangzi threw his cigarette butt on the ground.

"Okay, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right away." Lin Cuiling turned and left.

Xiaomeng immediately followed and took the backpack from her sister's back.

Fortunately, my sister had brought all her documents in her bag so she could take her child to the doctor.

There weren't many people waiting for divorce in town, and the two quickly filled out the forms at the divorce office.

The clerk asked if I wanted to think about it further.

Lin Cuiling tearfully accused her husband of wanting to give up on treating their child, even though the child could still be saved, he insisted on abandoning the treatment.

How can someone like that be qualified to be a father? How can I continue living with him after he's like this?

Lin Cuiling said that after her divorce, she had to take her child to another city for medical treatment and borrow money, including online loans, to pay for the child's treatment. She said that her father would not provide any financial support.

Upon hearing these words, the clerks all looked at Liangzi with disdain.

After completing the formalities, the clerk reminded them that they would have to come back in a month for the divorce to be finalized.

Lin Cuiling glared at Liang Zi, "Did you hear that? You need to remember to come and get the divorce certificate in a month, otherwise the tens of thousands of yuan in debt I borrowed will fall on your shoulders."

Liangzi just lowered his head and nodded, not knowing what he was saying.

Xiao Meng didn't even glance at him, and led Lin Cuiling into the taxi she had chartered. "Driver, let's go to the nearest airport. The fare will be charged as usual."

"Okay. Fasten your seatbelts, I'm getting on the highway now."

The taxi driver also watched a good show today, observing the whole thing. He was very enthusiastic about knowing that the younger sister was taking her older sister and daughter to a higher-level hospital.

"However, it's already past noon. Would you like to find a place to eat something first?"

It's true, we've already missed lunchtime. "Let's not look for a place to eat, Master."

Find a bakery on the street and we'll buy some to eat on the go.

The most important thing is to get to the airport as quickly as possible.

"Okay, let's do it that way."
