Chapter 393: Paying Money for Mother He's Eye Treatment
Zhang Lei watched the two sisters chatting from afar, waited for a while, smoked two cigarettes, and then slowly walked back.
Seeing that the two were already eating and chatting, Zhang Lei went over to greet them and asked, "What delicious food did you buy?"
He Wenyuan saw Zhang Lei and angrily handed him the food.
Zhang Lei, assuming He Wenhui was unwilling to marry him, laughed and said, "It seems you've reached an agreement. Let's go then."
He Wenhui quickly stood up: "Don't be in such a hurry."
Zhang Lei asked in confusion, "What's the rush? Aren't we taking you home?"
He Wenyuan quickly shouted, "Zhang Lei, my sister agrees! She said she's willing to marry you!"
Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment: "You're willing to marry me? Really?"
He Wenhui nodded.
Zhang Lei then confirmed, "You agree with everything I just said?"
He Wenhui nodded: "I agree. But there's one thing I need to make clear: my mother's eyes need to be treated first."
Zhang Lei thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay. The sooner the better, let's go arrange treatment for your mother now."
Seeing Zhang Lei's decisive action, He Wenhui nodded: "Okay."
Soon, the three returned to the He family home.
At this time, Yu Qiuhua was unaware that her daughter had used herself as a bargaining chip to secure the opportunity to treat her eyes.
As soon as Zhang Lei got home, he saw his children, He Wentao, He Wenda, and He Wenhui, surrounding their mother.
He Wenhui is the eldest sister, and He Wenhui is the youngest.
Zhang Lei glanced at He Wenyuan beside him and thought to himself: This family has five brothers and sisters, plus a blind mother, it's no wonder they're poor.
But he's not like Liu Hongchang. He has his own principles and won't be a sycophant like Liu Hongchang, who couldn't even touch his wife after several months of marriage and was constantly harassed by a few ungrateful people.
The people in the main room were stunned and couldn't believe it when they heard that Zhang Lei was going to treat Yu Qiuhua's eyes.
He Wenhui took her mother directly to the hospital and asked He Wenyuan to take good care of her younger siblings and not let them run around.
Zhang Lei looked at He Wenhui and knew she was somewhat unwilling, but he understood that a forced relationship wouldn't be sweet, though it might quench her thirst. He believed that with his abilities, he could definitely win her over over time.
The two arrived at the hospital quickly. Zhang Lei paid the hospital fees, found He Wenhui, and took out 100 yuan: "Take this 100 yuan first, buy some clothes and food for your younger siblings. I've already paid your mother's hospital fees. I'll make up the difference later. We can't help with anything else, so we'll see what the doctor says."
He Wenhui nodded: "Thank you."
Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "No need to thank me. You should know my conditions."
He Wenhui nodded.
Seeing that there were many people in the corridor, Zhang Lei led He Wenhui to the corner of the stairs.
He Wenhui looked at Zhang Lei, who was holding her hand, and felt very uneasy.
Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "Since I've already paid the money, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
He Wenhui looked at him: "How should I express it?"
Zhang Lei didn't say anything, but directly hugged her head and kissed her.
He Wenhui instinctively tried to resist, but Zhang Lei was too strong, and she couldn't move at all.
Zhang Lei gave her a long kiss.
After releasing He Wenhui, Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "Now you are my woman. Remember, never let me see you seeing other men. I am very jealous and petty."
Hearing this, He Wenhui felt a sense of being protected in a domineering way, and felt that Zhang Lei was different from other men.
Seeing her in a daze, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Alright, go out now, don't worry your mother."
He Wenhui followed him obediently, like a dutiful wife.
Upon arriving at the ward, Yu Qiuhua grasped Zhang Lei's hand and said gratefully, "Zhang Lei, thank you. Wenhui told me everything; it was you who helped. If it weren't for you..."
Zhang Lei quickly interrupted, "Auntie, don't say that. It was all my own choice. I like Wenhui, and she was willing to marry me. This is what I, as her son-in-law, should do."
Yu Qiuhua was taken aback at first, then quickly turned her head to look at He Wenhui.
He Wenhui quickly explained, "Mom, what Zhang Lei said is true. We're getting married. He also said he's willing to help take care of my younger siblings until they turn eighteen and become adults."
Yu Qiuhua was immediately moved to tears: "Zhang Lei, thank you so much!"
Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Auntie, please don't say that. Wenhui and I are deeply in love, and we'll need your help taking care of our children after we have them. Wouldn't it be more convenient if your eyes were healed?"
Yu Qiuhua said happily, "Yes, yes, yes, when you get married and have a big, healthy son, I'll help you take care of him!"
Looking at her mother's happy expression, He Wenhui glanced at Zhang Lei and thought that this man, who was usually carefree and a bit of a rogue, was surprisingly charming and roguish when he got serious.
Not long after, He Wenyuan arrived with his younger brother and sister, mainly because He Wentao was too noisy and they wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
Zhang Lei took He Wenhui to the doctor's office to inquire about the treatment plan.
As He Wenhui left the office, she looked at Zhang Lei holding her hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Zhang Lei."
Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I? The doctors all said the success rate of the surgery is very high, so you don't need to worry now."
Just as the two were about to get closer, several people suddenly came down the corridor, and the one leading them was none other than He Wentao.
Seeing Zhang Lei holding his older sister's hand, He Wentao immediately stepped forward: "What are you doing? Let go of my older sister! Or I'll make you regret it!"
He Wenhui quickly stopped her: "Wentao, what are you doing? Don't talk nonsense!"
He Wentao was somewhat incredulous. He was trying to help his older sister, so why was she scolding him instead?
He was convinced that Zhang Lei had instigated it, and immediately glared angrily at Zhang Lei.
Looking at He Wentao's expression, Zhang Lei sneered inwardly: As expected, he's been an ingrate since childhood, throwing tantrums without asking any questions. What will he be like when he grows up?
Zhang Lei looked at He Wenhui.
He Wenhui quickly explained to He Wentao, "Wentao, Zhang Lei will be your brother-in-law from now on."
He Wentao and He Wenda were both stunned and couldn't believe it.
He Wenyuan exclaimed happily, "Why are you running so fast? Oh, and hurry up and call him brother-in-law!"
He Wenda and He Wenhui reluctantly called him "brother-in-law," but He Wentao remained silent.
He Wenyuan twisted his ear directly: "Wentao, talk to me! What are you doing?"
He Wentao looked at Zhang Lei and said defiantly, "Who said he's my brother-in-law? I don't acknowledge him!"
After saying that, he ran away.
He Wenhui said helplessly, "Zhang Lei, don't take it to heart. He's still just a child."
Zhang Lei was speechless inside, but smiled faintly and said, "Wenhui, it's okay. After all, he's your brother. It's normal that he can't accept it right away. Once we get married and have children, he'll understand when he's a little older."
He Wenhui blushed instantly and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting in public? What do you mean by having children?!"
