Tan Mo followed Qiao Lan from a distance and saw the middle-aged woman in the distance almost lunging towards Qiao Lan when she saw her.

Qiao Lan took a step back, avoiding Qiao's mother, and asked her what she wanted again.

Qiao's mother looked up, and Qiao Lan was only slightly startled.

Although Qiao's mother is a woman from the countryside, she is really pretty, and she is slowly getting older and less pretty, but she still puts on a bit of make-up. But today Qiao's mother's face is plain, her face is waxy with dark circles under her eyes and her hair is even a bit dishevelled.

Qiao Lan's heart softened a little and she was about to say something when Qiao's mother looked at her with a scowl on her face, incredulous, her voice sharp and harsh.

"You still look impatient after what your brother has become?"

Qiao Yuan?

Qiao Yuan What's wrong?

Qiao Lan really didn't know anything, Qiao's mother stared at Qiao Lan with round eyes and sneered, "Don't say you don't know anything."

Qiao Lan's mother's attitude has instantly eroded the little bit of softness that had just risen in her heart.

"I don't know," Qiao Lan's face cooled, "if there's something to say, I'll go back to class."

Qiao's mother grabbed Qiao Lan's sleeve and screamed, "Don't go!"

It was hard not to get a glance or two from students passing by.

The expression on Qiao's mother's face changes instantly at the mention of her son, and, minus the hideous and slightly insane look, the whole person is again the same as if she had just lost her mind.

Qiao's mother sometimes thinks that God is really unfair, people come and go everywhere, so why does bad luck always come to her good son?

A few days ago, while she was working in the shop, she received a call from Qiao Yuan's class teacher, who said that Qiao Yuan had fallen while playing basketball and had suffered a serious injury.

Qiao's father Qiao's mother turned white with fear on the spot and ran to the school as soon as the shop door was closed.

Many people thought that the fall would not be too serious, but Qiao Yuan kept crying out in pain and eventually fainted.

The doctor told Qiao Yuan's parents when they were taken to hospital and came out of the operating theatre with a bolt from the blue.

Qiao Yuan's fall caused the right kidney to rupture, so it needed to be removed.

Not to mention Qiao's father Qiao's mother, even the class teacher was dumbfounded, who would have thought that just one fall could break a kidney.

The doctor said that it was cold and hard and Qiao Yuan's body weight was too great, so that would explain it.

Qiao's mother sat beside the hospital bed looking at her son who had passed out after the operation, her eyes swollen with tears.

The doctor advised her that as long as half of one kidney was functioning, she would be fine. After examination, Qiao Yuan's other kidney did not have any problems, so removing one kidney would not affect Qiao Yuan too much and one kidney was enough to meet the body's needs.

But Qiao's mother was still not convinced, so she looked at her unconscious son and took out her mobile phone to Baidu and saw many other stories.

For example, the kidney is an organ of detoxification, removing one will cause the other to compensate, which in the long run will cause the other kidney to decline in function, followed by a decline in detoxification capacity, which is extremely detrimental to the organism and eventually leads to kidney failure.

Some people even say that they feel very poorly after having a kidney removed, and that they feel painful and have little appetite for food, which affects their life expectancy.

Qiao's mother was so frightened to see this that she wouldn't listen to anything the doctor said afterwards.

The doctor was calmly explaining to Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, but Qiao's mother looked like a debt collector for the doctor's inaction, causing the doctor to lose his temper.

"So what do you mean?"

The doctor forced down his irritation and said, "If you are unsure, it is perfectly possible to find a suitable kidney source."

Qiao's mother blurted out, "Then find it!"

Qiao's father did not lose his wits and grabbed Qiao's mother and asked the doctor, "How much does it cost?"

"The cost of a kidney transplant ranges from about $100,000 to $300,000, depending on the post-operative fit response, placed on the kidney source, which is hard to come by, with a suitable kidney source costing at least $400,000."

This does not include the cost of post-operative recovery.

When the price was quoted, Qiao's mother had a jolt and finally snapped out of her madness.

The doctor finally gagged Qiao's mother and left the room, leaving Qiao's mother stunned for a moment before she began to bawl.

The cost of the operation, plus a kidney, and the post-operative recovery, amounted to nearly a million dollars in general terms.

A million, for Qiao's father Qiao's mother, is really too much.

Qiao's father Qiao's mother All of her income comes from the small restaurant in front of the secondary school, the restaurant is too small, and the price of food for students is low, the income is not bad but definitely not high, after years of hard work, the latter successfully married out two daughters, finally bought the current house.

They can't afford to spend money on themselves, but they are generous to Qiao Yuan, buying thousands of dollars of shoes without batting an eyelid, which is a lot of money they have saved over the years.

It's only about 100,000 at full price.

Where does a million come from.

Unless they sell the house, but how can they sell the house and where will they live if they sell the house?

Qiao's mother's eyes were swollen into a walnut as she cried. Occasionally, a nurse advised her that she really didn't have to worry so much, and that one kidney was absolutely fine. When Qiao Yuan woke up, she kept crying out in pain and couldn't eat anything.

No, it's absolutely essential that my son is healthy and well!

Qiao's grandmother reacted even more strongly than Qiao's mother, and was so frightened that she fainted on the spot when she heard that her grandson had been injured. Qiao's father Qiao's mother was brainwashed every day that she had to give Qiao Yuan a cure even if she had to sell her iron.

"The family has no money, but there is still the oldest two, the oldest one can always get out 100,000, the second one drives a car of several hundred thousand, I do not believe there is no money?"

Qiao's grandmother has no money of her own and has never had more than two hundred dollars in her hands in her life, so she has no concept of money at all.

But when things came to this point, Qiao's father Qiao's mother didn't care and immediately called Qiao's eldest sister and Qiao's second aunt.

Qiao's eldest sister's family is not in a very good condition, for the young couple who just got married and bought a house and owed a lot of debts, 100,000 yuan is too much, but in the end, it is her own brother's accident, Qiao's eldest sister scraped together and found 30,000 yuan to give to Qiao's mother.

Qiao's grandmother scolded Qiao's eldest sister for being so petty and taking such a small amount of money when her own brother had become like this.

Qiao's eldest sister's heart suddenly sank.

Although my husband didn't say anything, my mother-in-law was very upset. She had suffered a lot for the 30,000 yuan, but when it came to Qiao's grandmother's mouth, she only thought she was stingy.

Qiao's eldest sister suddenly had red eyes.

Qiao Yuan is her own brother, and she is running around looking for money for Qiao Yuan, but her child is almost three years old, and Qiao's grandmother and Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, have not even bought a can of milk powder for her child.

Qiao's eldest sister The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Qiao's eldest sister's husband came over and silently took his young wife's shoulders, Qiao's eldest sister grabbed her husband's arm and cried uncontrollably.

Qiao's eldest sister was a good bully, Qiao's father Qiao's mother asked for 30,000 yuan, but Qiao's second aunt had a hard time.

It is reasonable to say that Qiao's second aunt married a richer husband and gave Qiao's mother 20,000 yuan in pocket money before, so she should have paid more money when she encountered this kind of thing.

In a word, no.

Qiao's mother Shocked, how can you not have one, where's your husband?

If you don't mention it, Qiao's second aunt will be even more upset.

Since she had previously asked her husband for the right to operate his new hot pot restaurant, she had wanted to make a big splash, but who would have thought that the business license would be revoked before it had been open for a month.

The shop is gone, and the millions invested have gone straight down the drain.

Her husband, who usually pampers her, went straight into a rage that day and scolded her every day for some time after that, and then once after that he even hit her with his hands when he was drinking.

Qiao's second aunt was so scared that she cried all night, but she didn't dare to cry with her husband after all.

It's true that the shop is gone because of her, the money is gone because of her, and how dare she mess with her husband, she is now a totally parasitic woman with no self-care ability on a man, and if she pisses him off even more, maybe everything she has now will be gone.

Since Qiao's second aunt married a rich husband, she has been fooling around in front of her former friends and relatives. If one day she can no longer rely on her husband, how will those people look at her and how she looks like?

So even if her husband is any good, she has to suffer it all, and not only suffer it, but even more humbly try to serve him every day to make him happy.

But even so, things were heading wildly in a direction she could not control.

Qiao's second aunt not only lost her newly invested shop, but also caused Luo Nian's family to close down, as Luo Nian's father and Qiao's second aunt's husband were very close, which made Qiao's second aunt's husband feel ashamed and sorry for him.

The friends together all sighed that the uneducated and uneducated working girl from the poor countryside could not be trusted, and that she was only a little bit pretty, but nothing but her looks.

Although the former sister-in-law is older and not as good looking as before, she is the woman who went to college with him and helped him fight for his life, educated his children excellently and helped him manage the hotel in an orderly manner.

As a result of the divorce and marriage to the current working girl, not to mention the work than before doubled how much, now directly on the million all gone.

The kind of young girl who only has a pretty face, usually kept outside to give some money will do, the main family wife, or to find a similar level.

Qiao's second aunt's husband only now understands this truth, and when he thinks about it, he feels he was confused.

Then I couldn't control it and went to see my ex-wife again, but it turned out that she had almost gotten a new stable relationship and had to compensate her ex-wife and daughter with a large sum of money, and then she would go to see her daughter every few days.

Qiao's second aunt heard about this matter also dare not and her husband, the latter and inquired about the ex-wife has been married soon which is relieved, but did not wait to be relieved for a long time, their own husband came home less and less often, sometimes even all night long.

Qiao's second aunt couldn't sit still any longer and ran out to keep an eye on her husband for several days, and finally found him getting close to a woman again.

Qiao's second aunt inquired about the woman, already twenty-seven years old and divorced, the more she thought about it, the more unpleasant it was, and finally mustered up enough courage to complain to her husband, complaining that she was not as good as an old woman.

Her husband, who is growing cold towards her, looks down at her and with a single word knocks Qiao's second aunt back.

"They are high achievers who graduated from a proper prestigious university, have you never even heard of this university."

The idea that Qiao's second aunt had been bragging to everyone about collapsed in an instant.

She has always felt young and beautiful, sometimes those famous university students have to call her boss lady, the same grade, she is even younger, she can live in a villa drive a luxury car wear diamond ring, many university students are only a few thousand dollars a month salary, and every day also get up early and work hard.

Qiao's second aunt was so superior that she even tried to bring Qiao Lan into the picture.

Before Qiao Lan could be pulled down, Qiao's second aunt had already become a dog in the water.

Women not as young as she is and not as pretty as she is hooked up with the husband she had managed to snatch away from her.

Qiao's second aunt finally realizes, with the benefit of hindsight, that a man who can abandon his wife for a mistress is perfectly likely to abandon her for a new so-called mistress.

And to place all one's hopes in such a man is one day destined to be abandoned.
