Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 478 Loyalty

After disembarking, Zhiyuan went straight to the hospital.

At the hospital, Qinglang and Qingtian's mother was seriously injured and hospitalized, and they couldn't afford the medical bills.

Here's the thing.

After school started, Qinglang and Qingtian no longer helped their family sell fish all day. Usually, their mother would sell fish at the stall during the day, and after school, the two siblings would go to the stall to help sell the rest before packing up and going home together.

The brother and sister did not board at school; they were day students. The whole family lived on the boat.

Zhiyuan and his friends were close to Qinglang, and they were classmates with Qingtian. They often helped out at the stall with the siblings.

Yesterday, they finished their exams at noon. After school, they went to the fish stall to help sell fish, just like usual. Summer vacation was coming soon, and they were all excited. They even discussed what they were going to do on the way. But when they got there, they found that the stall was different from before.

People surrounded the area, but they weren't there to buy fish; they seemed to be watching a spectacle. People kept pointing and whispering. Most importantly, there was blood flowing from the ground between the crowd.

Qinglang shouted and ran over.

Pushing through the crowd, he saw only his mother lying in a pool of blood.

The people at the nearby stalls all knew Qinglang and told him that his mother had been beaten and that they had already called an ambulance, which would be there soon.

Qinglang's mother had already fainted by then, and Qingtian was so frightened that she squatted down next to her mother and cried.

They asked the people next to them who had hit them, but no one dared to say it directly. Later, it was the uncle at the next stall who quietly told them that it was the same people who had bullied Qingtian last time and been chased away by Zhiyuan and his friends.

They've come for revenge...

At that time, the most urgent task was to treat Qinglangniang's injuries.

Both Qinglang and Qingtian were extremely panicked, especially Qingtian, who kept crying.

Zhiyuan, Chen Lei, and the others accompanied them to the hospital and stayed with Qinglang and her brother until the emergency room treatment was over.

Sunny's life was saved, but they faced the problem of medical expenses.

Zhiyuan went home late at night with a heavy heart, and that was the reason.

Now, he took the money, called Chen Lei and Wang Yufei, and went straight to the hospital to pay the medical bills.

Unexpectedly, the ward was quite lively, with a large group of strangers surrounding Qinglang and her brother and sister and talking non-stop.

They were both still children, and they were clearly bewildered by what they had been told, their faces filled with fear.

"Qinglang!" Zhiyuan called out to him from outside the crowd.

When Qinglang saw Zhiyuan and the others, it was as if she had seen her saviors. She grabbed her sister's hand and squeezed out of the crowd.

“Come on, Qinglang, let’s go pay the medical bills!” Zhiyuan said to him.

When Zhiyuan left yesterday, the medical bills hadn't been paid yet. Qinglang said many kind words and said she would pay them today. But when Qinglang heard Zhiyuan say that, her eyes dimmed again.

"Zhiyuan, I..." He couldn't speak. He had no money to pay his mother's medical bills. Originally, he had planned to borrow some money from his two uncles today, but...

He glanced back at his uncle and aunt, then lowered his head again in sadness.

Zhiyuan didn't understand what his look meant, guessing that Qinglang couldn't afford it. Just as he was about to say, "I have money," a woman rushed out from the crowd surrounding Qinglang, pointed at Qinglang's head, and said, "You shouldn't have to pay for this medical bill. Whoever hit the person should pay for it! You can't be stupid and pay first, otherwise they won't pay for it!"
