Lan Zihang's mother didn't think that Jiujiu was injured so badly yesterday and was even kicked by Lan Zihang. She didn't ask if Jiujiu was okay but asked Jiujiu to cook. She didn't make the best use of things.
Jiujiu pretended not to hear and went back to sleep.
Lan Zihang's mother shouted several times. Seeing that no one responded, she immediately stood up.
She didn't think that Jiujiu would pretend not to hear her. After all, Lan Ziqing was so obedient and listened to everything she said. Therefore, after calling Jiujiu a few times and not replying, Mrs. Lan instantly panicked and pushed Jiujiu's door open.
Lan Zihang was the one with the least status in the Lan family. Although her room had a lock, it was already broken. Basically, it could be pushed open with a little force.
When Lan Zihang's mother came over, Jiujiu immediately pretended to be unconscious.
Jiujiu's face instantly turned deathly pale, and cold sweat seeped out of her forehead because of the pain. Coupled with her bruised face, she looked incomparably miserable.
Lan Zihang's mother pushed the door open and walked straight to Jiujiu. When she saw Jiujiu's pale face, she immediately panicked and shouted, "Dad, come here."
"What are you doing here instead of cooking?" Lan Zihang's father muttered as he walked to Jiujiu's room.
Lan Zihang's father had spent almost ten thousand yuan shopping for a cell phone and clothes. Lan Zihang's father was distressed. When he heard Lan Zihang's mother calling him from Jiujiu's room, he immediately became angry and scolded, "What are you looking at? What's there to look at?"
Lan Zihang's mother's face turned pale. She pursed her lips and looked at Lan Zihang's father. "She seems to be sick."
"Sick?" Lan Zihang's father was stunned. He lowered his head and glanced at Jiujiu. When he saw Jiujiu's pale face and dry and cracked lips, his face turned ugly. After a while, he said, "If she's sick, she's sick. Do you want me to send her to the hospital?"
Lan Zihang's mother: "Then what should we do? We can't watch her die. If she dies, who will we ask for money from in the future?"
Seeing that Jiujiu was sick, Lan Zihang's mother's first reaction wasn't whether Jiujiu was sick or not, nor did she want to go to the hospital immediately. Instead, she weighed the pros and cons. If Jiu was sick and died, who would she ask for money from in the future?
In Mrs. Lan's heart, Jiujiu's life and death were not important at all. What she cared about the most was that if Jiujiu died, who would she ask for money from?
Sure enough, when he heard the word "money", Lan Zihang's father's disdainful face instantly became dignified. He looked at Jiujiu several times and said after a while, "How about I go out and buy some medicine?"
Lan Zihang's mother looked at Jiujiu and thought for a while. Then she reluctantly agreed. "Then I'll go and cook. You go and buy medicine. Remember, buy cheap medicine."
"I know."
Lan Zihang's father and mother talked as they walked. After a while, there was no sound in the house. Jiujiu lay there with her eyes closed. She only felt cold all over. She sympathized with Lan Zihang very much.
Lan Zihang had really sinned to meet Lan Zihang's parents.
She was about to die, but Lan Zihang's parents didn't care about her at all. Instead, they were worried about money. Calling them animals was an insult to animals.
Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. However, they almost sold Lan Zihang's bones. They were simply shameless to the extreme.
After a while, Lan Zihang's father came back. He directly threw the medicine to Lan Zihang's mother and sat in the living room to watch TV.
Lan Zihang's mother pinched Jiujiu's mouth and forced the medicine in. After pouring it down her throat, she didn't forget to say, "You must pay me back double in the future after taking my medicine. Do you understand?"
After Lan Zihang's mother finished speaking, she didn't care whether Jiujiu could hear her or not. She directly turned and left.
After everyone left, Jiujiu opened her eyes and looked at the medicine that Lan Zihang's mother put aside.
The cheapest fever medicine on the market cost less than ten yuan a box.
After a while, Lan Zihang's mother finished cooking. She, Lan Zihang, and Lan Zihang finished eating. They didn't leave a single bite for Jiujiu and went back to their rooms to rest.
Jiujiu was too lazy to eat Lan Zihang's mother's cooking. She was afraid that if she ate a bite, she would be disgusted for the rest of her life.
Jiujiu ate some of the things that she stored in her space before going back to sleep.
The next day was the start of school. Jiujiu woke up early in the morning and was sent to school by Lan Zihang's parents.
After signing up, Jiujiu directly went to the dorm without looking back.
Seeing Jiujiu's back without looking back, Lan Zihang scolded in annoyance, "Hey, ungrateful wretch. If I knew she was like this, I would've let her die yesterday."
"If she dies, who will make money for us in the future?" Lan Zihang's father said in annoyance.
Lan Zihang's mother's face darkened after being scolded by Lan Zihang's father. However, she thought of something and quickly fell silent.
Lan Zihang stood to the side and frowned impatiently. "You two are so annoying. Why are you talking about that useless thing? Hurry up and sign me up. After signing me up, I still have to play games. I have a final match today. What if I'm late?"
"Okay, okay, okay. No rush. I'll sign you up now." Lan Zihang's mother wasn't angry at Lan Zihang's rude words. Instead, she coaxed Lan Zihang nicely.
Lan Zihang snorted at Lan Zihang's mother's good attitude and said to her, "Then hurry up and sign me up. I'm starving. Dad, go buy me a burger and coke."
Lan Zihang's father, who was serious and cold in front of Lan Ziqing, turned and walked to the fast food restaurant after hearing Lan Zihang's request.
Lan Zihang glanced at Lan Zihang's father's back and then looked at Lan Zihang's mother who was standing in line under the sun to sign him up. He walked to the shade and took out the phone that Lan Zihang's mother just bought for him to play games.
When Lan Zihang's father came back, Lan Zihang's mother had already finished signing him up.
Lan Zihang took the burger that Lan Zihang's father gave him and took a bite before putting down the phone. He looked up and said to Lan Zihang's father, "Right, I'm in my senior year this year. Our school has a holiday once a month. You can give me one month's living expenses in one go."
Lan Zihang took a bite of the burger and chewed for a long time before saying, "Our school's food has increased again this year. One thousand yuan isn't enough. How about you give me one thousand five hundred yuan first? I'll call you if it's not enough."
Lan Zihang's mother opened her mouth to say that it was too much, but before she could say anything, Lan Zihang's father took out one thousand five hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to him.
The moment he saw the money, Lan Zihang's gloomy face immediately broke into a smile. He took the money and put it in his pocket and said, "Then I'll go play games first. Bye."
Lan Zihang left after he finished speaking.
Looking at Lan Zihang's back, Lan Zihang's mother's eyebrows were knitted together. She looked at Lan Zihang's father and said, "Do you think our Lan Zihang will be able to get into school this year?"
Lan Zihang's father snorted coldly, "If that money-losing person can get in, why can't Lan Zihang get in?"
Lan Zihang's father's confident tone made it seem like Lan Zihang had already been admitted to university. Lan Zihang's mother had her own thoughts, but looking at Lan Zihang's confident expression, she swallowed her words.
