Chapter 73: Must Not Indulge Bad Habits_l
This Little Fourth, truly doesn’t give one peace of mind.
What will become of him when he grows up.
“It’s fine, the child is still young, not knowing any better is normal.” Bai Susu said, without blaming the child, and without getting angry.
As a mother, this is still something she could bear.
After all, the child wasn’t mainly breastfed, and there wasn’t enough milk for
four children anyway.
This was nothing.
“For you, this is just hard luck.” Ye Fan looked at Bai Susu with great
compassion.
That’s right, there was no helping being bitten.
The child needed to nurse, so, taking medicine or applying ointments was not
an option.
She could only heal slowly and still continue to breastfeed.
It was indeed difficult for Bai Susu.
Ye Fan’s heart ached terribly for her.
Looking at Little Fourth, his eyes even began to harbor some anger.
“Little Fourth, from now on, you’re not allowed to bite your mom, understand? If you dare to bite again, I’ll starve you for a few meals. Remember that, or else, I’ll spank you,” Ye Fan strictly told Little Fourth.
Little Fourth blinked her big eyes, not knowing if he understood or not.
Bai Susu, on the side, actually started to laugh.
Look, an adult getting upset with a little child.
“Little Fourth is still young, she doesn’t know anything, doesn’t understand anything. She’s probably biting because she is teething and it’s uncomfortable, it’s okay, she’ll get better slowly,” Bai Susu said with a smile.
“That won’t do, we can’t let bad habits form. If she bites you again, don’t breastfeed her, just give her formula and see if she behaves,” Ye Fan declared.
Which is more important, the wife or the child?
Of course, they’re both important.
But without a wife, where would the children come from?
This, Ye Fan understood well.
A child must not be spoiled, nor catered to, otherwise, in the future, she’ll become the Lord of Misrule.
At night, Ye Fan lay in bed, looking out at the night sky through the window.
The moon was big and round tonight.
Moonlight flooded into the room.
Ye Fan closed his eyes, just about to fall asleep, when the phone rang.
Picking up the cellphone, it was unexpected to see Zhao Xiaotian calling at this late hour.
Calling this late, there must be something going on.
He answered the phone.
“Ye Fan, do you have money?” Zhao Xiaotian hesitantly started the conversation over the phone.
He really had no one else to turn to for a loan.
Which is why he came to Ye Fan.
He knew that Ye Fan now had to provide for a wife and children and definitely needed money more, but he had no choice and approached Ye Fan with the attitude of giving it a try.
“What happened, tell me,” Ye Fan felt something was very wrong upon hearing
Zhao Xiaotian’s voice.
This kid must have run into some trouble.
Asking if one has money always means there’s an issue.
Of course there’s money, lending it to a friend is a given.
“My dad was accidentally injured at work, and now he’s in the hospital, requiring money. We’ve taken out everything we have, and it’s still not enough. Actually, I know you’re struggling too, having to support your child and wife. I wouldn’t have come to you if there was any other way, it’s fine, never mind if you don’t have it, I’ll keep looking elsewhere,” Zhao Xiaotian said with a choke on the phone.
“Wait up, I’ll transfer you five hundred thousand first, we’ll talk more when I come over.” Saying this, Ye Fan hung up the call and directly transferred five hundred thousand to Zhao Xiaotian.
He knew Zhao Xiaotian’s father worked on a construction site, and it s inherently dangerous.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaotian’s mother just kept some computer and domestic fowl at home to make a little money. The injury must have been serious.
At the thought of this, Ye Fan became anxious.
He quickly got dressed.
Arriving at Bai Susu’s room door, he intended to say something but then he thought she might be asleep, and it wouldn’t be good to disturb the child either, so he left without saying anything and went straight out the door.
Zhao Xiaotian was his brother. During school, he had often helped him out, and besides, that guy had even come over during the children’s full-moon celebration and secretly stuffed a few hundred bucks for the kids.
So, Ye Fan still remembered these kindnesses.
On the other side, Zhao Xiaotian looked at the amount reflected on his bank
card and was still in a daze…
Five hundred thousand, it was really five hundred thousand.
Ye Fan had actually transferred him five hundred thousand.
In that instant, he felt an overwhelming urge to cry.
His father could be saved.
“Son, how much money did you borrow? Mom also managed to borrow a few tens of thousands,” Mother Zhao asked as she approached Zhao Xiaotian.
‘Mom, my brother lent me five hundred thousand. We don’t need to borrow anymore; we can save Dad now. Dad can have the surgery,’ Zhao Xiaotian burst into tears in an instant.
Mother Zhao couldn’t help but let her tears fall drop by drop.
Finally, there was hope.
Zhao Xiaotian immediately went to pay the surgery fee,
and only then was the unconscious Father Zhao pushed into the operating room.
Zhao Xiaotian and his mother waited outside the operating room, having thought there was no hope.
The doctor said that the surgery needed to be performed as soon as possible; otherwise, there was a very high likelihood of paralysis.
After all, Father Zhao had been badly injured by a falling rock-almost half his body was buried under it.
They didn’t have much money, and the surgery cost three to four hundred thousand. Their savings were only about a hundred thousand or so, far less than needed, so they rushed to gather money for the surgery.
They hadn’t expected that Ye Fan would enable them to gather enough so quickly, even leaving them with tens of thousands extra.
Zhao Xiaotian felt that having a brother like Ye Fan in this lifetime was truly his fortune.
“My child, is your friend from a wealthy family? How could he lend us so much money all of a sudden?” Mother Zhao asked.
“Something like that,” Zhao Xiaotian didn’t quite knowhow to answer his mother’s question.
Anyway, he knew that for Ye Fan to produce so much money at once, it couldn’t have been easy.
“Silly boy, make sure to properly thank him when the time comes. There are many who would add flowers to the brocade, but those who send charcoal in snowy weather are even more valuable, understand?” Mother Zhao said to her son, her eyes glistening with tears.
Her son had grown up.
The friends he made were dependable.
Thinking about how when they tried to borrow money, many relatives were unwilling to help-even though they were family-it was laughable!
Some relatives even owed their family money but refused to repay it, truly disheartening.
Mother Zhao thought that as long as Father Zhao could survive this ordeal, she would have to properly thank her son’s friend who had indeed saved their family.
If it had been Little Tang’s father who fell, this family would have…
Just the thought made her heart tremble.
“Mom, don’t worry, I will!” Zhao Xiaotian nodded and said.
Even if his mother didn’t mention it, he knew he had to thank Ye Fan.
The two of them watched the operating room intently, fearing any mishap.
‘Xiaotian!’ Ye Fan arrived at the hospital and after asking a nurse, he found out that Zhao Xiaotian’s father had just been taken into surgery.
He must have been gathering money and waiting for the surgery just now.
Fortunately, the kid had called him.
Otherwise, he would still be unaware of such a major event happening to his family.
Seeing Zhao Xiaotian’s back, Ye Fan called out.
