Tan Mo followed Qiao Lan from afar. He saw the middle-aged woman almost pounce on Qiao Lan when she saw Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan took a step back to avoid her mother. "What's the matter?" she asked.

Mother Qiao raised her head. Qiao Lan was slightly startled.

Although Mother Qiao was a woman from the countryside, she was indeed beautiful. As she grew older, she gradually lost her beauty, but she still put on some makeup to decorate herself.

Today, however, Mother Qiao was bare-faced. Her complexion was sallow, dark circles under her eyes were heavy, and her hair was a little messy. Qiao Lan could see the haggard look on her face.

She looked so down and out. Qiao Lan's heart softened a little. Just as she was about to say something, Mother Qiao looked at her in disbelief. Her voice was sharp and piercing.

"Your brother is already in such a state, yet you still look so impatient?"

Qiao Yuan?

What's wrong with Qiao Yuan?

Qiao Lan really didn't know anything. Mother Qiao stared at Qiao Lan with round eyes and sneered, "Don't tell me you don't know anything."

Qiao Lan's heart softened a little, but it was instantly wiped clean by Mother Qiao's attitude.

"I don't know." Qiao Lan's face turned cold, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm going back to class."

Mother Qiao grabbed Qiao Lan's sleeve and screamed, "You're not allowed to leave!"

The students passing by couldn't help but take a few glances.

When Mother Qiao mentioned her son, her expression changed instantly. Aside from the malevolence and madness, she returned to her previous dazed state.

Sometimes, Mother Qiao felt that the world was really unfair. There were people coming and going everywhere. Why did bad luck always fall on her good son?

A few days ago, when she was busy in the shop, she received a call from Qiao Yuan's homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher said that Qiao Yuan fell down while playing basketball. The fall seemed to be a little serious.

Father Qiao and Mother Qiao were so scared that their faces turned pale. They closed the shop and ran to the school.

Many people thought that it was just a fall and nothing serious would happen. However, Qiao Yuan kept crying and screaming in pain. In the end, he fainted from the pain. The students were so scared that they hurriedly called the homeroom teacher and informed Qiao Yuan's parents.

After sending him to the hospital and coming out of the operating room, the doctor told Qiao Yuan's parents a bolt from the blue.

Qiao Yuan's fall had ruptured his right kidney, so his right kidney had to be removed. his right's right.

Not to mention Father and Mother Qiao, even the homeroom teacher was dumbfounded. Who would have thought that a simple fall could damage a kidney?

The doctor said that the weather was cold and the ground was hard, and Qiao Yuan's body weight was too heavy, so it made sense.

Qiao and Qiao's mother,'s and Qiao's and Qiao's.

The doctor comforted her and said that as long as one kidney was half functional, the person would be fine. After the examination, Qiao Yuan's other kidney was fine. Therefore, removing one kidney wouldn't affect Qiao Yuan much. One kidney was enough to satisfy the body's needs.

However, Qiao's mother still didn't believe it. She looked at her unconscious son and took out her phone to search Baidu. She saw many other theories.

For example, the kidney was an organ that detoxified the body. Removing one would cause the other to compensate. In the long run, it would cause the function of the other kidney to decline, and the detoxification ability would decrease. It would be extremely detrimental to the body and eventually lead to kidney failure.

There were even people who said that their body's condition had been very poor ever since one kidney was removed. It was very painful and they didn't have much of an appetite. They felt that it would affect their lifespan. It was fine when they were young, but when they got older, one kidney wouldn't be able to hold on.

Qiao's mother was scared out of her wits. After that, she didn't listen to anything the doctor said.

The doctor calmly explained to Father Qiao and Mother Qiao, but Mother Qiao acted like the doctor didn't do anything. This made the doctor lose his good temper.

"So what do you think?"

The doctor suppressed his annoyance and said, "If you're worried, you can find a suitable kidney."

Mother Qiao blurted out, "Then find one!"

Father Qiao didn't lose his mind. He grabbed Mother Qiao and asked the doctor, "Then … how much will it cost?"

"The cost of a kidney transplant surgery is about 100,000 to 300,000 yuan. It depends on the adaptability after the surgery. If you put it in the kidney, it's very rare. A suitable kidney costs at least 400,000 yuan."

This didn't include the recovery costs after the surgery.

After the price was reported, Mother Qiao finally woke up from her madness.

The doctor finally covered Mother Qiao's mouth and left the ward, leaving Mother Qiao stunned for a moment before she began to wail.

The cost of the surgery, the kidney, and the recovery costs after the surgery were close to a million yuan.

A million yuan was really too much for Father Qiao and Mother Qiao.

All of Father Qiao's and Mother Qiao's income came from the small restaurant in front of The Affiliated High School. The restaurant was too small, and the price of students' meals was on the low side. Their income was passable, but it was definitely not high. After working hard for many years and successfully marrying off their two daughters, they finally bought their current house.

They couldn't bear to spend money themselves, but they were generous with Qiao Yuan. They didn't even blink when they bought shoes that cost a few thousand yuan. The money they saved over the years wasn't much.

At most, it was only about 100,000 yuan.

Where would they get a million yuan from?

Unless they sold the house. But how could they sell the house? Where would they live if they sold the house?

Mother Qiao cried until her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Occasionally, a nurse would persuade her that there was really no need to worry so much. A kidney was definitely fine.

In the end, after Qiao Yuan woke up, he kept complaining about the pain and couldn't eat anything. Mother Qiao's heart, which had been shaken by the nurse's words, instantly became chaotic again. The nurse told her that the wound hurt after the surgery, but Mother Qiao didn't listen to anything.

'No, I must make my son healthy!'

Old Lady Joe's reaction was even more intense than Mother Qiao's. When she heard that her grandson was injured, she fainted on the spot. When she woke up, she was afraid that Father Qiao and Mother Qiao really couldn't bear to spend money on Qiao Yuan. She brainwashed Father Qiao and Mother Qiao every day. Even if she had to sell everything, she had to treat Qiao Yuan.

"Even if the family doesn't have money, there's still Eldest Brother and Second Brother. Even if Eldest Brother can't afford it, he can still fork out 100,000 yuan. Second Brother drives a car that costs hundreds of thousands. I don't believe that he doesn't have money."

Old Lady Joe didn't have money herself. She had never had more than 200 yuan in her life. She had no concept of money at all. It was easy for her to shout 100,000 yuan or hundreds of thousands.

However, at this point, Father Qiao and Mother Qiao didn't care anymore. They immediately called Elder Sister Qiao and Second Sister Qiao.

Elder Sister Qiao's family wasn't very well-off. For the young couple who had just bought a house after getting married and owed a lot of debt, 100,000 yuan was too much. But after all, it was her biological brother who had an accident. Elder Sister Qiao pooled together 30,000 yuan and gave it to Mother Qiao.

Old Lady Joe cursed and scolded Elder Sister Qiao for being stingy. Her biological brother was in such a state and she only took so little money.

Elder Sister Qiao's heart ached.

It wasn't easy to get this 30,000 yuan. Although her husband didn't say anything, her mother-in-law was very unhappy. She had suffered so much for this 30,000 yuan. But in Old Lady Joe's mouth, she only felt that she was stingy.

Elder Sister Qiao's eyes suddenly turned red.

Qiao Yuan was her biological brother. She had been running around looking for money for Qiao Yuan. Her child was almost three years old. Old Lady Joe and her parents hadn't even bought a can of milk powder for her child.

The more Elder Sister Qiao thought about it, the sadder she became. Elder Sister Qiao's husband walked over and silently put his arm around his young wife's shoulders. Elder Sister Qiao grabbed her husband's arm and couldn't help but cry.

Elder Sister Qiao was easy to bully. Father and Mother Qiao had asked for 30,000 yuan. But Second Sister Qiao was in a difficult position.

Logically speaking, Second Sister Qiao's husband was richer. He had even given Mother Qiao 20,000 yuan as pocket money. It was reasonable for him to fork out more money when faced with this kind of situation. But this time, Second Sister Qiao was stingy.

In short, she didn't have it.

Mother Qiao was shocked. How could you not have it? Where's your husband?

Second Sister Qiao felt even more aggrieved at the mention of her husband.

Ever since she had asked for the management rights of her husband's newly invested hot pot restaurant, she had wanted to do something big. But who would have thought that within a month of opening, the business license would be revoked?

The restaurant was gone, and the millions of yuan she had invested went down the drain.

Her husband, who usually doted on her, flew into a rage that day. After that, he scolded her every day for a period of time. One time, he even hit her when they were drinking.

Second Sister Qiao was so frightened that she cried the entire night. But she didn't dare to cry and throw a tantrum with her husband.

The restaurant was indeed gone because of her. The money was also gone because of her. Moreover, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum with her husband. She was now a woman who was living in a man's body and couldn't take care of herself. If she angered her husband further, she might lose everything she had.

Ever since Second Sister Qiao married a rich husband, she had been showing off in front of her former friends and relatives. Second Sister Qiao didn't even dare to think about how those people would look at her when she couldn't rely on her husband anymore.

Therefore, no matter what her husband did, she had to endure it all. Not only did she have to endure it, but she also humbly thought of ways to wait every day for her husband to be satisfied.

But even so, things were still going in a direction that she couldn't control.

Not only did Second Sister Qiao lose the restaurant she had invested in, but she also caused Luo Nian's family to go bankrupt. Luo Nian's father and Second Sister Qiao's husband had a good relationship. This matter made Second Sister Qiao's husband feel very embarrassed. He felt very sorry for her.

His friends sighed. Sure enough, an uneducated working girl from a poor village was unreliable. She was just a little beautiful, but other than her looks, she was useless.

Although his former sister-in-law was old and not as beautiful as before, she was still a woman who had gone to university with him and helped him to make a living. She had taught their children well and helped him manage the hotel in an orderly manner.

In the end, he divorced and married the current working girl. Not only did his work double, but he also lost millions of yuan.

Those young girls who only had a beautiful face could be raised outside and given a little money. As a wife who was the head of the family, he had to find someone of similar standards.

Second Sister Qiao's husband finally understood this principle. Thinking back, he felt that he had been foolish back then. When he thought about his ex-wife, whom he had not seen for a long time, he suddenly missed her. He also missed his daughter, who had left with his ex-wife.

Later, he really couldn't control himself and went to see his ex-wife. In the end, his ex-wife had more or less established a stable relationship. He could only compensate his ex-wife and daughter with a large sum of money. After that, he still went to see his daughter every few days.

When Second Sister Qiao heard about this, she didn't dare to argue with her husband. Later, she found out that his ex-wife was about to get married. Only then did she feel relieved. But not long after, her husband came home less and less often. Sometimes, he would even stay out all night.

Second Sister Qiao couldn't sit still anymore. She ran out to keep an eye on her husband for a few days. Finally, she found that her husband was very close to another woman.

Second Sister Qiao found out that the woman was already 27 years old and was divorced. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. Finally, she mustered the courage to complain to her husband. She felt aggrieved and said that she couldn't compare to an old woman.

Second Sister Qiao's husband, who was becoming colder and colder to her, looked down at her and with one sentence, she returned to her original state.

"She is a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. Haven't you heard of this university?"

Second Sister Qiao's belief that she had always boasted to everyone collapsed in an instant.

She had always felt that she was young and beautiful. Sometimes, those famous university students would call her Lady Boss. She was even younger than them. She could live in a villa, drive a luxury car, and wear a diamond ring. Many university students only earned a few thousand yuan a month, and they had to wake up early and work late every day.

Second Sister Qiao was incomparably superior. Later on, she even wanted to drag Qiao Lan down with her.

In the end, before she could drag Qiao Lan down with her, Second Sister Qiao had already become a drowning dog.

A woman who wasn't as young as her and wasn't as beautiful as her had seduced her husband.

Second Sister Qiao finally understood a principle in hindsight. A man who could abandon his wife for a mistress was completely capable of abandoning his mistress and looking for a so-called fourth or fifth mistress.

If she placed all her hopes on such a man, she was bound to be abandoned one day.
