"Transferring the house is the only way?"
Li Se's eyes turned blood red. That house was left by his mother for his marriage, but he intended to keep it for his mother's retirement. Yet, not only did this Zhang Yunyun fail to return the 300,000, she now had her eyes on his marital home. Unforgivable!
He roared at Zhang Yunyun, "Tell me, why didn't you visit my mother these past three months, and why didn't you pay the 300,000 in medical fees?"
Zhang Yunyun snorted, "300,000, that's 300,000! Even if it was paid, your mother might not have survived anyway. Besides, that 300,000 was your family's betrothal gift. It's your problem that you're in jail, and it's a good thing I even came. You criminal."
*Slap!*
In a fit of rage, Li Se slapped Zhang Yunyun across the face, "This slap is from my mother."
*Slap!*
Another slap.
Li Se said coldly, "This slap is from me. You broke your promise. If it weren't for you, your brother would be the one in labor camp now!"
"You dare hit me?" Zhang Yunyun covered her face, utterly disbelieving.
"Get out!" Li Se spat out the word.
"Don't regret this!" Zhang Yunyun snarled.
"You're the one who should regret it. And give me back the other 300,000, or I won't let this go!" Li Se's current anger stemmed from his mother. He had been too foolish to trust Zhang Yunyun's family, which led to his mother's current state.
As for his feelings for Zhang Yunyun, they had vanished the moment he received his mother's call.
"Son, what happened?" Chen Xiulian asked.
Li Se recounted the events of three months prior to his mother.
Chen Xiulian's face turned pale with anger after hearing it. "How could they do this? How could they treat my son like this..."
"Mom, everything will pass," Li Se said, now confident in his medical and martial skills. He needed a set of silver needles.
He happened to see a nurse walking out of a ward and quickly asked, "Nurse, can you get me a set of silver needles?"
"What do you need silver needles for?" the nurse asked curiously.
"I need to treat an illness!" Li Se stated with certainty.
"This..." The nurse hesitated. After a moment's thought, feeling Li Se was quite pitiful, she agreed. The silver needles weren't particularly valuable, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital had plenty.
"Wait for me," the nurse said and left.
About ten minutes later, the nurse returned with ten silver needles, saying, "These needles aren't expensive, but this is all I could get for you."
"Thank you!" Li Se said gratefully.
The nurse hesitated for a moment, then out of kindness, couldn't help but warn him, "Don't do anything reckless. It could be fatal."
"I'll be careful," Li Se nodded.
Having obtained the needles as he wished, he looked at his frail mother on the hospital bed, his eyes slightly reddening. "Mom, I will definitely cure your illness!"
"Cough, cough..." Chen Xiulian suddenly coughed violently.
Li Se dared not delay. He took out five silver needles and inserted them into the tumor site on Chen Xiulian. As the needles were inserted, a warm current entered Chen Xiulian's body.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, Chen Xiulian's complexion began to regain its color. She felt much more energetic and looked at her son with a different expression. Did her son really know how to treat illness?
Li Se breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had inherited his ancestors' legacy; otherwise, he wouldn't have known what to do.
"You brat, how dare you hit my sister!"
At this moment, an angry voice rang out.
It was Zhang Yunyun's brother, Zhang Tiezhu.
Zhang Yunyun was also beside him, her face still bearing the slap mark.
"What do you want?" Chen Xiulian asked with concern.
Zhang Tiezhu was a large man. If a fight broke out, her son would surely be at a disadvantage.
"Hitting my sister, this matter cannot be let go just like that!" Zhang Tiezhu rolled up his sleeves and said coldly, "Either transfer the house to us, or I'll beat you to death. I'm telling you, even if I kill you, someone will handle the aftermath!"
"Beat me to death?" Li Se glanced at Zhang Tiezhu. The chilling gaze made Zhang Tiezhu take a step back, involuntarily shiver.
"Give me back the 300,000, or I will make your whole family pay!" Li Se's tone had become calm.
"Good boy, you're quite arrogant, aren't you?" Zhang Tiezhu threw a punch.
But before his fist could touch Li Se, it stopped in mid-air, having been caught by Li Se.
"Ah!"
The next moment, Zhang Tiezhu let out a scream from his throat.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunyun shouted, "Li Se, what are you doing? Let go of my brother!"
Li Se actually let go, but he pushed forward instead, sending Zhang Tiezhu tumbling to the ground, rolling a couple of times.
"Return the money, or I'll come to your door to collect."
"Get out!"
"You wait for me. I'm telling you, my sister has found a very rich boyfriend now. If you dare hit me, I'll have my brother-in-law kill you!" Zhang Tiezhu said fiercely.
"Your brother-in-law?" Li Se's face darkened. "Then have your brother-in-law return this 300,000!"
Hearing Zhang Tiezhu mention his brother-in-law, Li Se's anger surged. He had gone to jail for this Zhang Yunyun's brother, yet Zhang Yunyun had turned around and found another man. Was this the so-called eternal love?
Zhang Yunyun was about to say something, but Zhang Tiezhu stopped her. He rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, we can return the 300,000. Come to Tomorrow Hotel this afternoon, and we'll have the 300,000 ready for you. Let's see if you dare to come and get it!"
"Okay, I'll go personally this afternoon to collect the 300,000!" Li Se said calmly.
Zhang Tiezhu and Zhang Yunyun soon left the hospital.
Chen Xiulian could tell that there was likely a conspiracy waiting for her son and said worriedly, "Son, let's forget about this 300,000. Just find a job honestly, and Mom will be at peace."
"Mom, this 300,000 originally belonged to us. I will definitely get it back!" Li Se clenched his fist and said word by word.
Now that his mother's condition was stabilized, Li Se went out to buy some daily necessities for her. In the past few months, without anyone to care for his mother, she hadn't even had clean clothes. Although he didn't have much money, he could afford some basic necessities.
Just as he returned after buying things, he heard anxious voices approaching from not far away.
"Grandpa!"
"Sir..."
Several other people were with the elder, all looking extremely anxious.
"Who is the doctor? Hurry and save my grandpa."
A beautiful young woman shouted loudly, her voice filled with urgency.
As soon as Li Se saw the elder's complexion, he knew what was happening and quickly walked over. However, before he could get close, he was stopped by a bodyguard. "What do you want to do?"
"I am a doctor, I can treat this elder," Li Se said quickly. The elder's condition could not be delayed any further.
"You're a doctor?" Wei Xueru grabbed Li Se's arm. "Can you cure my grandpa?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded affirmatively, taking out a silver needle and preparing to treat the elder.
"Stop!" A sharp reprimand sounded. A young man wearing glasses also walked over quickly. He pointed at Li Se and said, "How dare you use needles on a patient?"
