That night, Chen Weierâs gege Chen Yong played around with that telephone number in his hands, and wanted to tell someone about it several times, but stopped each time just when then words were about to leave his mouth. He didnât believe this number could save his father at all, but he still held a slither of hope, he didnât know if it was because he didnât believe it or if it was because that person asked him not to tell anyone, in the end he didnât say a word.
âGe, can Yu Gang really take out eighty thousand kuai?â Chen Weier carried over a stool, and sat beside Chen Yong then started picking vegetables.
In 1994, eighty thousand kuai was an astronomical value for a normal family, even families with a monthly income of over a thousand was rare.
âEn, he gave me his deposit book to see, he said the moment you nod, he will immediately go to the bank and get the money,â Chen Yong felt really terrible in his heart as well, if he wasnât forced, he wouldnât think of an idea such as ruining his own meimei.
âThen âââ Chen Weier clenched her teeth, as if she made a huge decision, and said depressingly, âGe, can you tell him that, I wonât marry if, but if he is willing to pay, I can ââ I can give myself to him!â
âAi ââ!â Chen Yong sighed, âGood meimei, Ge is terrible sorry!â After that, tears actually started flowing.
Chen Weier only made this decision without any other choice, since filial piety comes first, if sacrificing herself could really bring about their fatherâs health, then Chen Weier was wiling to sell herself out. However, will that beautiful love that is written on books really happen to her? Definitely not, no one would want a woman who said her own chastity.
Chen Yong knew that, Yu Gang probably wonât be able to marry Chen Weier, Yu Gangâs father is a entrepreneur in the city, who had over a millionâs worth, he definitely wouldnât care about this eighty thousand kuai. Yu Gang just had his eyes on Chen Weierâs appearance, and just wanted to play around.
The brother and sister didnât speak the entire night, Chen Weierâs mother also hurried to the hospital to care for Chen Weierâs father after eating.
The next morning, Chen Yong dialed Yu Gangâs number, and said a bunch of not important stuff, he was unable to say anything about his sister at the last minute. After stuttering for a while, he finally hung up the phone.
Chen Yongâs heart was a mess, his father could be cured if he sold his meimei, but that would mean putting an end to his meimeiâs happiness. Chen Yong placed his hands into his pocket out of habit, then suddenly touched that paper slip, and so random dialed the number on it...
âHello? Who is it?â I picked up the phone while yawning, itâs so early in the morning on Sunday, yet I canât rest.
âHello. I am Chen Yong,â the person said from the other side of the phone.
Chen Yong? Why donât I remember knowing someone called Chen Yong?
âHey? Did you dial the wrong number? I donât know you?â I said sleepily.
âOh, Iâm sorry, then excuse me!â Chen Yong wanted to hang up in sorrow, so it was a lie.
âAi~ Wait a bit, are you Chen Weierâs older brother?â I suddenly remembered that I have my phone number to Chen Weierâs gege the previous night.
âYes, itâs me! You can really help me?â Chen Yong noticed that the phone number was real, and said while unable to without his excitement.
âLetâs talk face to face, Iâll see you in the cold drinks shop in front of Fourth High in twenty minutes,â I hung up the phone, quickly got dressed and rushed towards Fourth High.
When I arrived, Chen Yong was already there, standing and looking around at the entrance of the cold drinks stall. Seeing I walked over, he asked, âWhy is it just you?â
âWhatâs wrong with just me?â I asked weirdly.
âDidnât you say someone can help me? Whereâs the person?â Chen Yong was still looking behind my back.
âCanât I help you?â I said in displeasure.
âYou, a student âââ But he swallowed the words that were at his mouth, because he saw the mobile phone in my hands, a student that could use a mobile phone that was several tens of thousands kuai, was definitely not a normal person right?
âLetâs go in and talk!â I pointed towards the cold drinks stall, and went inside first.
I ordered a coffee, then when I asked what Chen Yong wanted, Chen Yong looked all over the menu, and when he saw all the drinks were above ten kuai, he squeezed out a few words, âThen a cup of water!â
âBottled water is eight kuai, sir!â The waiter said with a smile.
âWhat? Water cost money too?â Chen Yong exclaimed in surprise.
âOkay now, donât be afraid since itâs my treat, give him a cup of water!â I said to the waiter.
âAi! Never mind, Iâll have orange juice, this is eight yuan too,â Chen Yong quickly said.
âOkay sir,â the waiter left with a faint smile.
âIâm sorry, I let you see something unsightly!â Chen Yong scratched his head and said.
âSay it, whatâs the deal with Yu Gang?â I immediately cut to the chase, I have no time to bullshit with him, I promised Zhao Yanyan to go on the rollercoaster with on in the cultural park during the afternoon.
âAbout that, my meimei agreed,â Chen Yong said awkwardly.
âWhat?? Your meimei will marry that lecherous man?â I jumped up and shouted.
âNo, itâs just ââ just sleep with him!â Chen Yong didnât know who to answer, and said the phrase âsleep withâ in anxiousness.
I naturally understood Chen Yongâs meaning, âsleep withâ is just XXOO, this Chen Yong, he really disappoint me, he still agreed to Yu Gangâs demands in th end.
âYou sold your meimei just for eighty thousand kuai?â What made me more angry was that, was Chen Weierâs first time just worth eighty thousand kuai?
âIs eighty thousand little? Didnât you hear that Yu Gang say, ten thousand kuai can buy so many virgins!â What Chen Yong said was the truth, the most expensive would only be two thousand kuai at max.
âThen you already promised that Yu Gang?â I said agitatedly.
âNot yet, I ââ I really canât say it!â When Chen Yong said this, it was like he was in excruciating pain.
From the looks of it, this Chen Yong still has a conscience. A man being forced to sell his own meimei to save his father was because he had no other choice.
âHow about this! Since youâre selling no matter who, what about selling her to me, I will use an even higher price,â I said slowly. At that moment, another plan had hatched in my heart.
âWhat? Sell to you?â Chen Yong looked at me in disbelief, and had his mouth wide open. He didnât think I was that kind of person. Then he regained his composure, âNever mind, since itâs the same either way. How much can you pay?â
âI think Iâll give you two hundred thousand, go and help your father contact the kidney provider, tell me if itâs not enough,â I said calmly.
âTwo hundred thousand! You didnât make a mistake right?â Chen Yong opened his eyes wide and looked at me with an expression full of disbelief.
