"How could this be!" Lin Yixun’s voice suddenly rose, but then she realized she had overreacted. She quickly lowered her voice, "Mom, Doctor Ji said you need to stay in the hospital for a few more days of observation before you can be discharged."
"The longer I stay in the hospital, the more money it costs. I don’t have any major problems. Why waste money staying here and suffering? Xiao Xun, go and tell Doctor Ji that I want to be discharged tomorrow."
Lin Yixun knew that her mother was worried about the money. She tried to reassure her, "Mom, you don’t have to worry about the money. Just stay in the hospital and rest. I’ll find a way to take care of the money."
"Xiao Xun, mom knows her own body. Even if I stay here, it won’t make any difference. Why waste money for nothing..."
"Mom!" Lin Yixun suddenly interrupted her. She took a deep breath, her eyes red, and said, "Don’t say such demoralizing things, I won’t let anything happen to you!"
Lin’s mother began to cry, "Xiao Xun... it’s mom’s fault for burdening you. If mom didn’t get sick, you wouldn’t be living so hard."
"I’m not having a hard ti, not at all!" Lin Yixun sniffled and hugged Lin’s mother tightly, "As long as you’re with , as long as our family is safe and sound, no matter how hard or tiring it is, I don’t care."
...
Lin Yixun stayed in the hospital overnight. When she woke up in the morning, she felt as if all her bones were about to break apart. Perhaps the hospital air conditioning was too low; her head was also dizzy, but she had no ti to worry about that because she had more important things to do.
Yesterday, Doctor Ji had made it very clear that if her mother didn’t get a kidney transplant soon, she wouldn’t last much longer. And besides the **, there was an urgent issue: money.
The kidney transplant surgery would require a large sum of money. The post-surgery recovery would also need a significant amount of dical expenses. Where was she going to get that much money?
Lin Yixun searched her mind continuously, from childhood playmates to university classmates, from neighbors to relatives and friends, but she found no one she could turn to.
When her father was doing well in his career, people were eager to have a connection with them. But as soon as her father got into trouble, they scattered like birds and beasts. So were opportunistic, and so didn’t dare to offend Leng Yixiu. In any case, people wanted to stay away from them.
Lin Yixun sadly realized she seed to be on her own.
She took out her phone from her pocket, hesitated for a mont, and finally dialed Xiao Mu’s number.
"Hello?"
"Miss Xiao, this is Lin Yixun."
"Lin Yixun? Oh, I rember. Hao’s housekeeper. What’s up?"
"Miss Xiao, could you advance so salary? My family has suddenly encountered an issue, and I urgently need so money."
"How much do you need in advance?"
"Could you advance a year’s salary?" Lin Yixun paused, then said softly, "I know my request is excessive, but I really have no other choice. Miss Xiao, I will work hard from now on and make sure to keep the house spotless, as long as... as long as you can help this ti."
"I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. You know, I’m just an interdiary. Your employer is Hao, and he pays your salary. I’m only handling it for him. If you asked for one or two months of advance, I could decide for him, but a year’s salary would need Hao’s approval. Why don’t you go ask Hao? After all, he’s your boss."
Ouyang Hao?
Lin Yixun bitterly smiled. He disliked her so much; how could he possibly advance her salary? He might even use this as an excuse to fire her without hesitation if she brought up the matter!
