C7 Why Do You Need so Much Money

"What's wrong?" Lin Mubei noticed that her expression was not good.

"Teacher Lin, can you do me a favor?"

"What favor?"

"Can you take me to the hospital?" asked Wang Yao.

After Ye Sitong said that, she still wanted to explain something. Lin Mubei had already agreed. "Let's go."

Lin Mubei pulled her wrist and walked out. After getting into the car, Ye Sitong reported the address and not long after, they arrived at the hospital entrance.

Lin Mubei got out of the car and opened the door for her. Ye Sitong got out of the car and smiled gratefully at her. "Teacher Lin, thank you for sending me here. I'll go in first."

Ye Sitong's smile was very forced. The worry on her face could not be hidden. Lin Mubei frowned. "I will go with you."

"No need. I'll go in myself. " Teacher Lin, you're tired today. Go back early and rest. "

Lin Mubei saw that she was not in a good state and was worried about her. However, he also knew that it did not make sense. He simply used the cooking method. He pulled Ye Sitong's wrist and walked towards the hospital.

"What are you doing?!" Ye Sitong did not expect him to make a move directly. His strength was not as great as his, so she could only follow him and jog behind.

"Where is it?"

"What is it?"

"Which way to go?" Lin Mubei repeated. He never liked to repeat what he had said, but when he saw Ye Sitong in a trance, he still kindly asked again.

Ye Sitong remembered that she forgot to ask her mother the number of the ward, so she could only shake her head and find a nurse to ask about the ward.

The door of the ward was not closed. Ye Sitong saw her mother sitting in front of the sickbed dejectedly. Her mother sat there as if she did not have any anger. She looked much older. Someone came. She did not notice it either. Ye Sitong's tears suddenly fell and she shouted, "Mom!"

Aunt Ye only turned around when she heard the sound and saw that it was Ye Sitong. The tears that she had finally stopped with great difficulty were about to flow out again.

"Pupil."

Lin Mubei let go of Ye Sitong's wrist and there was no longer any restraint. Ye Sitong quickly ran over and hugged her mother. Her voice choked, "Mom, Dad... How is he?"

"Your dad, he..." Aunt Ye only said three words before she could not continue. Ye Sitong saw that her father was wearing an oxygen mask and lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. She gently patted her mother's back to comfort her.

"Dad will be fine. Mom, don't worry. I am here."

This woman, it was obvious that she was worried to death too. She even pretended to be strong to comfort others. Lin Mubei originally wanted to leave, but when he saw this scene... He felt uneasy, so he could only stand outside the door awkwardly. His upper body tilted slightly and leaned against the wall. Luckily Aunt Ye reacted in time and saw him. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand and forced a smile, "Tong Tong. This is?"

"Huh?" Ye Sitong followed her mother's line of sight and saw Lin Mubei still standing at the door. She immediately felt awkward and hesitated to introduce him. But Lin Mubei did not say anything and Aunt Ye waited for her to speak again. Ye Sitong gritted her teeth and said," This is our professional French teacher, Teacher Lin Mubei, Teacher Lin. He sent me to the hospital. "

When Aunt Ye heard that it was her daughter's teacher, she quickly said, "Hello, Teacher Lin. Sorry to make you laugh. Please take a seat. Please take a seat."

"No problem, Auntie." Lin Mubei replied politely.

Aunt Ye asked about Ye Sitong's homework in the school again. Lin Mubei looked at Ye Sitong, who kept giving him meaningful glances, and answered calmly.

Aunt Ye still wanted to ask more, but Ye Sitong was also embarrassed by her mother's enthusiasm for Lin Mubei. "Mom, Teacher Lin is our French teacher, not a life teacher. How can he answer when you ask so many questions? "

When Ye Sitong interrupted, Aunt Ye only realized that she was overly enthusiastic and could only laugh dryly. Lin Mubei did not mind and bowed. "I'm going to the washroom."

After Lin Mubei left, Aunt Ye once again fell into a state of worry. She held Ye Sitong's hand and softly covered it, not saying a word for a long time. Ye Sitong was worried and could not help but ask, "Mom, what happened to you?"

Aunt Ye sighed and shook her head, "Tong Tong, what do you think we should do?"

"Mom, if there is something you need to tell me, I will think of a way." Ye Sitong said.

"The doctor said that you need a lot of money to cure your father's illness. Our family's situation is only like this. Where can we get such a large sum of money..." Aunt Ye said. She sobbed and wanted to cry again. "You said that your father has been an honest person for his entire life. Why... Why is it that..."

Ye Sitong heard her mother's cry and saw that her father was still lying unconscious on the bed. Her heart was also very bitter. She held back the tears in her eyes and did not let it out. She gently comforted her mother, "It will be fine, Mom. I will think of a way to cure Dad. It will definitely be able to cure Dad."

She was also at a loss in her heart. Such a large sum of money. In such a short period of time, where could she think of a way? Their family could only be considered a well-off family. Usually, a small illness or disaster could still cope with life. This time, even if she sold everything she had, she would not be able to gather such a sum! Although she said that she would be doing her internship soon, But the distant water could not quench her thirst, even if she worked and got paid. But if she did not have money, she would not be able to save her father! No matter what, she had to think of a way!

Ye Sitong comforted her mother before returning to sit in Lin Mubei's car.

Ever since Ye Sitong came out of the hospital and reported the address of her home, she did not make a sound. Her eyes stared out the window, not knowing what she was looking at. Lin Mubei drove very steadily this time. He glanced at Ye Sitong out of the corner of his eye and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a stone had sunk into the ocean. He did not receive any response. Lin Mubei raised his eyebrows. It was a red light. He stopped the car and turned his head, "Ye Sitong."

"Oh? Ah, what?" Ye Sitong had been immersed in her own thoughts, thinking about where to get such a large sum of money. When she was called by Lin Mubei's cold voice, she immediately came back to her senses and turned her head. Facing Lin Mubei's probing gaze, she lowered her eyes. "It's nothing. I'm just too tired. I want to go home and rest early."

Ye Sitong did not say it out loud, even though she knew Lin Mubei could help her. But she could not say it out loud. She and Lin Mubei... They were not even friends now, so why should Lin Mubei help her? Just to push her away so that he could dodge a shot? Ye Sitong thought that she was not that petty. She could not force a debt of gratitude to be repaid.

Ye Sitong's perfunctory attitude made Lin Mubei's good intentions freeze. He did not ask any more questions. The red light turned into a green light, and Lin Mubei also focused on driving the car.

There was no word along the way, and not long after, The two of them arrived at Ye Sitong's house. Lin Mubei did not propose to send Ye Sitong upstairs. He only opened the car door for her and went back to the car. Before the car started, he heard the sound of a light knock on the window. Lin Mubei rolled down the window and saw Ye Sitong forcing a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin. Goodbye."

Ye Sitong did not plan to invite Lin Mubei to her house. She was a mess and did not have the mood to greet guests. She could only thank him again and again.

"You are welcome. Goodbye." Lin Mubei answered expressionlessly. Ye Sitong straightened her body and walked back. The street lights pulled her shadow to an angle that was long and slanted, making one's heart ache. Lin Mubei did not drive away immediately. He looked at her back for a long time before he rolled up the window and left.

Ye Sitong returned home and threw herself on the sofa in the living room. The soft sofa did not reduce her irritation. She thought for a long time but still had no clue. Her phone vibrated. Ye Sitong took out her phone and saw that her best friend Gu Musheng had sent a QQ message. She opened the message and saw more than one message. It seemed like she had been thinking about something and did not care about it.

Half an hour ago, Gu Musheng called her out to play and poked her a few times. She concentrated and thought about it. Gu Musheng was a fun person and her way of doing things was more open than hers. It was not a problem for one person to think of a way. Maybe Musheng had a good idea?

Ye Sitong thought about it and immediately called Gu Musheng.

The other side of the phone rang a few times before answering. Ye Sitong could even hear the noisy music on the other side of the phone. Before Ye Sitong could open her mouth, she heard Gu Musheng say, "Where did you go? I haven't seen you for a day. Why did you only reply to me now? "It's almost over."

Something happened at home. " Ye Sitong explained.

"Alright, alright. I'm in the bar. You know, it's the usual place. Come over quickly." There seemed to be quite a lot of people there. They were playing some kind of game. Someone was calling her name. Gu Musheng finally said one last sentence. "I'll be waiting for you." She quickly hung up the phone.

Ye Sitong got up from the sofa and ran to the bathroom to wash her face. She looked at herself in the mirror. If she ran to the bar like this, wouldn't she scare people? Ye Sitong helplessly thought, so she could only put on some light makeup to make herself look a little more energetic before setting off from home.

She knew the location of the bar. Gu Musheng often brought her over to play in the past and was not far from her family business. It did not take long for them to arrive.

Ye Sitong paid for the car and walked into the bar. The lights in the bar were dim and the crowd was dancing. Deafening music could not wait to set off the entire house. Ye Sitong's eyes swept across the crowd and finally Gu Musheng saw her first. She waved at her and shouted, "Sitong, this way!"

Ye Sitong quickly walked over. There were quite a lot of people and they were playing dice there. Gu Musheng's face was covered with thick makeup and she was wearing very hot clothes. Gu Musheng pulled Ye Sitong's arm to the side and sat by the side. She watched the group of people play dice and drink while she sized Ye Sitong up. She turned her head and wanted to join the battle again.

Ye Sitong pulled her and Gu Musheng saw her worried expression and asked caringly, "Sitong, what happened to you? There was a look of worry on her face. Did something happen?"

The sound in the bar was too loud and this sentence was almost shouted out by Ye Sitong's ear. Ye Sitong pulled her to a quiet corner and said," Musheng, I have something to ask you for help. Do you know what to do..." She gritted her teeth and said in one breath, "What can we do to get a large sum of money as soon as possible?"

"Robbing a bank, a large amount of money." Gu Musheng joked.

"I'm serious with you. I urgently need money now." Ye Sitong stared at her.

Gu Musheng heard this and straightened her expression, "Why do you need so much money? Tell me about it. I'll help you think of a way. "
