CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 160: THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

In Beijing, early in the morning, Han Chunli went to the post office to call Sanyuan City and found out that they were going to pick up the person immediately, the tickets had been bought, and nothing would be delayed, which gave her peace of mind.

The reason she didn’t tell her Second Brother the truth beforehand was also that she was afraid the surgery might not go through.

She had already checked things from all angles. The surgery wouldn’t pose any risks to the girl, and even if things were exposed in the future, she believed that, for their late father’s sake, her Second Brother wouldn’t make things too difficult for their family. Even if he turned against her, at least Xiaowen would be saved, and that would be worth it.

She kept encouraging herself in her heart, but she was still feeling guilty and couldn’t focus.

Ji Linfeng, seeing her like this, thought she was worried that the kidney donor might back out: "They’re already on their way, you don’t need to be too anxious."

Upon hearing Ji Linfeng’s words, Han Chunli remembered the issue of the surgery fees: "In a bit, let’s go to Second Brother’s place together."

Ji Linfeng glanced at his daughter on the bed: "I’ll stay here to take care of Xiaowen, you go by yourself."

Actually, he was somewhat unable to face his Second Brother-in-law. Over the years, their family had borrowed quite a bit of money from him. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to repay, but Xiaowen’s illness needed careful treatment, and with his wife’s tendency to spoil their child, spending money extravagantly, there was never any savings left at home.

However, Han Chunli was a bit unhappy and said, "Second Brother mentioned that he wants both of us to go today."

Ji Linfeng looked at her, puzzled: "Did Second Brother say anything?"

Han Chunli remembered Second Brother’s words; "He said clear accounts make for good friends. Some things should be said up front. Whatever he says, just listen and don’t take it to heart. As long as we get the money, even if we can’t pay him back later, he can’t do much to us."

These words were overheard by Han Chunxue, who had come to see Ji Xiaowen, and her face turned quite unsightly, thinking: Chunli is really going too far.

She suddenly didn’t want to deal with this family anymore and turned to leave.

However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Ji Xiaolei, who had come to see his sister, standing there. Ji Xiaolei said, "Auntie, why don’t you go in?"

These words were heard crystal clear by everyone inside the room. Upon hearing their son’s words, Han Chunli and Ji Linfeng’s expressions changed immediately.

Han Chunli quickly walked over to open the door to the ward: "Sis, you’re here."

Han Chunxue didn’t want to make a scene and thought to herself: Over the years, Han Chunli has become spoiled. I should find time to talk to Big Brother and Second Brother about this.

Han Chunxue walked into the ward, and seeing Ji Xiaowen on the hospital bed looking pale, her expression softened a bit: "Xiaowen, are you feeling any better?"

Ji Xiaowen gave a faint smile: "Still the same, Auntie, please sit."

Han Chunxue took her hand: "After this surgery, we won’t have to suffer like this anymore. For these few days, be sure to take care of yourself, and tell your parents whatever you want to eat. Let’s first get your health back up."

Ji Xiaowen nodded: "Okay, I’ll remember that, Auntie."

She understood that these elders truly cared for her, but because of this, those cousins didn’t really like her, and everyone stayed far away from her.

After chatting a bit more, Han Chunxue prepared to leave.

Han Chunli, feeling irritable, saw her out, but Han Chunxue didn’t bring up the previous matter. Instead, she asked, "I heard that the person willing to provide the kidney will arrive in the next few days. How did you find this person?"

Han Chunli was hesitating and unsure of how to answer when she saw Ji Xiaowen’s attending doctor walking towards her.

She quickly said to Han Chunxue: "Sis, I’ll tell you later, Director Zhang is here."

Han Chunxue saw Director Zhang bustling over too, and though she originally wanted to stay and listen, she heard Han Chunli say: "Sis, you go ahead and get busy."

It was obvious that her younger sister didn’t want her to stay here. Just as well, as she needed to rush off to work, she turned and left the hospital.

But as she left the hospital, she felt something was off, thinking it might be necessary to visit Second Brother. So she headed to the post office across from the hospital: "Xiao Li, I need to make a call."

She intended to pay for the call, but Xiao Li directly led her to the office: "Director Han, use the internal line."

Han Chunxue did not decline, went straight into the office, and applied for leave from the bureau.

Han Chunxue worked in the Finance Department of the Postal Headquarters as a director. This postal office was near her home, and she had met Xiao Li during a visit to the headquarters. Gradually, she also got to know other staff at the location.

After thanking Xiao Li, she left the post office and turned her bicycle towards Second Brother’s place.

Second Brother, Han Jingchen, held a high rank, but he retired due to an injury and was now recuperating in a sanatorium. She hadn’t visited him in a while; it was a good opportunity to go and discuss Han Chunli’s matter with him.
