Chapter 66 Cooperation
"Xiaojiang, it's enough when people come. Why are you buying so many things?"
Seeing Jiang Chen come in with large and small bags, Xue Mingqin hurriedly greeted him and helped take the bags from Liangchen's hands without forgetting to scold her daughter.
"Ruirui, you too, you're not an outsider, there's no need to be so wasteful."
Before entering the door, the two had a full exchange, so they both acted as if nothing happened to such remarks.
"Mom, it's just some nutritional supplements, it doesn't cost much."
"Yes, it won't cost much."
Jiang Chen agreed.
"But your dad can't eat it now."
"You can eat it."
Li Shurui said.
"You kid."
Xue Mingqin shook his head and looked at Jiang Chen, "Don't do this next time."
"good."
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
"Mom, Jiang Chen and I came here today to take you to see the house."
"Looking at a house?"
Xue Mingqin was stunned.
Li Shurui looked at her father on the hospital bed, "I don't know how long it will take for Dad to recover. You can't keep sleeping in the corridor, right?"
Xue Mingqin was a little embarrassed. These words were nothing for the mother and daughter to communicate in private, but after all, Jiang Chen was still here.
"Auntie, Shu Rui and I want to rent you a house nearby. We came today just to take you to see it."
Jiang Chen spoke at the right time.
"The rent in Donghai is very expensive. There is no need to spend such unnecessary money. I am quite happy here."
Xue Mingqin forced a smile.
Li Shurui glanced at Jiang Chen.
My mother was not such a frugal person before, but now my father is seriously ill and the sky-high medical expenses are not even covered. At this juncture, my mother naturally cherishes every penny.
"Auntie, no matter how expensive the rent is, your health is not important. What will uncle do if you collapse from exhaustion? You listen to me on this matter. I have already selected a few houses. Just go and have a look with us.
"
Jiang Chen showed just the right amount of strength.
"Mom, please stop being polite. Jiang Chen has been looking at houses these days. You can't let him down, right?"
Under attack from both sides, Xue Mingqin, unable to shirk the blame, could only nod.
"Okay, but you can choose the house. It's best to be smaller. I only live here anyway, so it doesn't need to be too big."
Li Shurui was noncommittal and asked, "Mom, my uncle called me. He said you wanted to sell the house."
Xue Mingqin's expression changed, "Didn't I tell him not to tell you?"
"Mom, uncle is also kind-hearted. If you sell the house, where will you live in the future? Will you rent another house?"
"You kid, you will always find a way."
Xue Mingqin said anxiously. At the same time, he secretly glanced at Jiang Chen. It was obviously because Jiang Chen was present and he was unwilling to tell the dilemma that his family was facing.
"Auntie, are you selling the house because of uncle's surgery expenses?"
Which Jiang Chen is like a stupid young man who pierced the window paper with just one word.
Although she has been in a state of confusion recently, Xue Mingqin still has self-respect, not to mention that she is still an elder.
"Xiao Jiang, this is a family matter of our family and has nothing to do with you."
"Auntie, I don't mean anything else. What I want to say is that if it is really because of the surgery fee, there is no need to sell the house."
Xue Mingqin frowned and asked in confusion: "...What do you mean?"
Jiang Chen took out a bank card.
"Auntie, my uncle is sick and I can't help him much. There are two million in this card, which is a little bit of my gratitude."
With this tone and aura, most people wouldn't believe it if he wasn't a wealthy young master.
Xue Mingqin was naturally stunned. He stared at the card for a long time, his eyes shaking violently.
Her daughter told her that this young man’s parents were no longer around, so she subconsciously felt that the young man’s family situation was relatively difficult. She never expected that the young man could come up with a huge sum of two million without blinking an eye!
Xue Mingqin's mind went blank for a moment and she didn't know what to say. She couldn't help but look at Li Shurui.
Li Shurui nodded towards her.
To say that he was not tempted would be a lie. After all, as long as he took this money, he could avoid selling the house and not being homeless. However, Xue Mingqin resisted the temptation in the end.
"Xiao Jiang, no, Auntie can't accept this money. You and Ruirui are just in love. If Auntie accepts this money and spreads the word, what will others think of our family? How will they think of Ruirui?"
Xue Mingqin kept shaking his head.
"No, Auntie will never accept it."
Faced with such a huge sum of money, not everyone has the perseverance to refuse, and besides, it is still under almost desperate circumstances.
Jiang Chen now understood a little bit why Li Shurui asked him to help with the money.
"Auntie, don't feel any psychological pressure. This money is just a loan. You can just return it to me after your uncle is well. Anyway, the money left with me is just a number. Why not use it on
Where it should be used."
"Mom, Jiang Chen has said so, just accept it."
"Auntie, if you really don't want to accept the money and have to sell the house, then what do you think?"
Jiang Chen said: "You can simply sell the house to me. It's for sale anyway. Do you think that's okay?"
Xue Mingqin was stunned, "Xiao Jiang, you..."
"You find it troublesome too, right?"
Looking at each other, Xue Mingqin smiled bitterly. With the perfect coordination of the two singing and harmonizing, it was obvious that he had been persuaded.
"How can you make Auntie embarrassed if you are like this..."
"Auntie, there's no need to be polite to me."
Jiang Chen looked at Li Shurui meaningfully, "We are a family."
Looking at the two young men, Xue Mingqin fell into silence.
Li Shurui also remained silent.
In the end, Xue Mingqin finally accepted the card.
Seeing Xue Mingqin's appearance, he knew that she must have something to say with Li Shurui. Jiang Chen was considerate, offered to go find a doctor, and left the ward on his own initiative.
"What kind of family is Xiaojiang? Why does he have so much money?"
Before the door was completely closed, Xue Mingqin couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't his parents gone?"
"His parents are gone, but they left him a legacy."
Li Shurui is not completely clear about Jiang Chen's specific situation until now, but in front of her mother, she can only make arrangements.
"heritage?"
Although unexpected, this explanation was reasonable. Xue Mingqin quickly accepted it, picked up the card, and asked: "Did you ask him for this money?"
"no."
Li Shurui said decisively: "He proposed it himself."
"real?"
Xue Mingqin stared at her daughter closely.
Li Shurui did not dodge, she was calm and magnanimous, "Mom, if he hadn't been willing, do you think I could have forced him to pay so much money? This is two million. To put it bluntly, your daughter and I are probably worth it.
Not that much money.”
"Nonsense, my daughter is a priceless treasure!"
Being interrupted like this, Xue Mingqin's attention was diverted, and she sighed: "But you have only been together for such a short time, and he is willing to spend so much money for you. It is your blessing to meet a child like Xiao Jiang. How can you
You can’t let people down.”
Li Shurui, who could only remain silent, suddenly felt that she had sold herself out with money, and her parents were still grateful to each other.
