Chapter 79: Boasting Doesn't Cost Money
P.S: Heartfelt thanks to Ye Yue Chen Yu for the reward! If it weren't for you, my reward column would be empty again!
……
……
Ye Jun is twenty-four years old, about 1.75 meters tall, slightly thin, a gentle and elegant person. He graduated from a second-rate medical college in the province, but due to lack of money and connections, no hospital was willing to accept him after graduation. In a fit of anger, Ye Hua opened a small clinic in his own home in Yeh Village to treat villagers' illnesses.
Ye Jun got a girlfriend named Sun Ling at the beginning of last year, and they were high school classmates. Sun Ling's father is the deputy mayor of the town where Ye's village is located, and her mother is a class teacher in a middle school in the city. The two families are not on equal footing, so Sun Ling's parents look down on Ye Jun, but Sun Ling has made up her mind to follow Ye Jun, and as parents, they can only pretend to be angry and have no choice but to go along with their daughter.
Last year, Ye Jun and his girlfriend Sun Ling were planning to get married. To show his sincerity, this time Ye Jun followed his parents to the city, withdrew all 600,000 yuan that had been saved for many years from the bank, and prepared to give it to Sun Ling's parents as a wedding gift.
A total of 600,000 yuan is now tightly stuffed into the inner pocket of Ye Jun's father, Ye Hua. Ye Hua's two hands kept touching the pocket with the money, treasuring it like a precious lump, as if afraid it would fall out.
"It's really not easy to get married in the countryside now, the betrothal gifts are often tens of thousands! Alas, Junzi is a person who cares about face, if he didn't give enough betrothal gifts, he would be afraid of not being able to afford his girlfriend. So this time when we came to the city, we took out all 600,000 yuan at once. Heh, this time we've really emptied our family's savings!" As Ye Kui chatted with him, Ye Hua let out a sigh of emotion and patted the pocket where he kept his money.
Although Ye Kui and Ye Hua's voices were not loud, the carriage was quiet, and almost everyone could hear what they were saying.
When Ye Hua mentioned "sixty thousand yuan", Ye Han noticed that the four men who followed them onto the bus had a sudden gleam in their eyes, exchanged glances with each other, and the greed in their eyes intensified.
"This old uncle of mine is indeed a simple-minded person, at such an old age, he doesn't have any 'street smarts' and doesn't know how to keep a low profile in public."
Ye Han glanced at his uncle and shook his head with a bitter smile, then swapped seats with his brother Ye Shan, making it easier to take action later.
After leaving the city, the bus sped up and drove rapidly for more than half an hour before entering the mountainous area. The road in this section of the mountains was tens of miles long, winding and difficult to navigate, so the driver had to slow down and proceed with caution.
This mountain road, even on normal days, has very little traffic. At this time, it was early morning, and the number of passing vehicles was even smaller. It often took ten or twenty minutes, or even half an hour, to see a single car. Under these circumstances, for some unknown reason, Ye Han suddenly had an association with the phrase "a dark and windy night is perfect for killing".
Yes, now although it's not a dark and windy night, but in such a secluded place, to rob someone of their money or rape them, would be most convenient. Even if a car passes by halfway, they probably wouldn't dare stop to intervene.
After entering the mountainous area, the four young men who got on the bus last had a sudden surge of ferocity and a fierce light gradually appeared in their eyes. Ye Han was now almost certain that they might be about to rob them.
The conversation between the parents and the uncle continued, but the topic shifted from the uncle's son Ye Jun to his daughter Ye Juan.
"Juanzi also graduated from nursing school this year. Originally, after the New Year, she was thinking of spending some money to run around and see if she could become a nurse at the town health center. But now, because of Junzi's wedding, where is the money? Alas, we two are so worried that we can't sleep well..." said Yang Mei, Juanzi's mother, with a sigh and a worried face.
When his mother mentioned this, Ye Jun felt a little ashamed and said, "Mom, don't worry about this. I've already discussed it with Sun Ling. After we give her the betrothal gift money, she'll take care of it. Later, we'll use half of the money to open a clinic in town, and return the other half to you..."
"This...this won't do..." Yang Mei shook her head repeatedly.
Yejuan is a sensible girl, she smiled and said: "Brother, this won't do, it's not fair to my future sister-in-law! Never mind, I'm still young, if our family has no money, I'll go to the city first to find a job, wait until I've saved some money, then worry about getting married! You just don't have to worry about me, put all your energy into your wedding!"
"Xiao Juan is so sensible!" Yang Xiuying smiled and looked at Ye Juan with unending praise.
Seeing this good brother of his own family worrying about money, Ye Kui's heart moved, and he looked at Ye Han with a glance, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.
Father and son connected at heart, Ye Kui just gave a glance, Ye Han already understood what he wanted to say, smiling: "Dad, I'll listen to you, whatever you say, I won't disagree!"
Ye Kui nodded and said: "My point is... anyway, we're not short of money now, why don't you take some out to help your uncle..."
Ye Han hadn't even spoken up yet, but Ye Hua was already dissatisfied, huffing and saying: "Second brother, look at what you're saying! Eldest brother may not be doing well, but he's still better than you! You have three kids to raise, your burden is much heavier than mine!"
Ye Kui knew that his older brother wasn't really angry, so he smiled foolishly and scratched his head, pointing at Ye Han and saying: "Older brother, you don't know, this second nephew of yours is now quite something. The other day, he made some money treating someone's illness, and then became a doctor at the city hospital, with a salary too..."
He hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by his niece, Ye Juan. Ye Juan's big eyes were fixed on Ye Han, her face filled with incredulity. "Ye Han, you're treating people's illnesses? When did you learn medicine? I remember you've always been studying at Municipal No. 1 Middle School!"
Ye Han shrugged and smiled, saying: "Me? My medical skills are on par with an old Chinese medicine doctor... they're just average..."
"Third Uncle said you're a doctor at the city hospital? You're so young, would they even want you? Oh, which hospital in the city is it?" Ye Juan couldn't help but ask again.
"The First People's Hospital in the city!" Ye Ting exclaimed.
"Ah?" Ye Juan was stunned, thinking that Ye Ting was joking with her. She scolded: "Xiao Ting, don't talk nonsense! The First People's Hospital of the city? That's the best hospital in the whole city, no connections, ordinary people can't get in!"
"Ordinary people can't get in, of course," Ye Ting said with a proud smile. "But my second brother isn't an ordinary person! Let me tell you, the director of that hospital was begging my second brother at the time, and he only reluctantly agreed to work as a doctor there..."
"The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets! You little girl, all you know is to help your brother brag! Go ahead and brag, after all, bragging doesn't require paying taxes!" Ye Juan giggled and said.
Ye Ting anxiously said: "Juanzi sister, I'm not lying, what I said is true! If you don't believe me, you can ask my dad and mom!"
Ye Juan also ignored her and went to ask Ye Han: "Tell me, which hospital are you working at as a doctor? Are you an intern? Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise, I won't bother with you anymore!"
"Ah...... yeah...... internship...... I never remembered the name of the hospital......"
