Chapter 481: Chapter 475: Is she poor?
That seems quite loving.
She bit her finger and quickly walked away with the lunch box. She didn’t dare think about it. If Gu Ning knew, he’d definitely beat her. Don’t underestimate the force of Uncle Gu’s punches.
If he really started beating someone, it would be ruthless.
Then, Gu Ning walked over, pulled up a chair and sat down.
“Do mom and dad know?”
“I haven’t told them,” Gu Ning said, sitting and watching his older brother. He felt truly upset. This was the brother who had raised him, he had practically grown up on his brother’s back. But now, his brother could barely move. He had never imagined seeing his brother like this—not spirited, not tall and sturdy, not healthy and smiling anymore.
...
“We’ll tell them when I get better.”
Despite the tubes all around him, Gu Qing still managed a smile, he had just woken up and wasn’t feeling too good. But his mood seemed fairly good.
As long as he maintained this mood, he would surely recover well. With his young age and healthy constitution, he would be okay after some time. The other injuries just needed time to heal slowly.
They didn’t know that when Gu Qing woke up, Gu Ning heaved a sigh of relief.
He’s finally awake.
Tang Yuxin reached for another piece of tofu for her bowl.
“You’re overthinking it. I’m just bored with meat and fish and suddenly craved tofu and vegetables. Besides, this was made in the army, it tastes good.”
She ate with an air of satisfaction, while Li Jia, skeptical, also tried a piece of tofu. It tasted okay. She felt that Tang Yuxin was merely putting on a brave face. She was clearly out of money, which was why she was eating tofu and vegetables every day.
The rumour spread throughout the hospital. Before long, Tang Yuxin was pitied for supposedly being unable to afford food.
Even the dean was shocked by the gossip and hurriedly called Tang Yuxin to talk. He was worried that the star talent he had worked so hard to recruit was not receiving enough nourishment.
“Yuxin, are there any difficulties at home?” the dean cautiously asked Tang Yuxin, “If you are truly struggling, don’t hesitate to tell me. We will do our best to help you. Also,” the dean continued, “Given your excellent performance these past days, the hospital has decided to raise your salary and provide a special allowance. If that is still not enough, we can find other solutions. You absolutely cannot starve yourself.”
Tang Yuxin was completely bewildered by the dean’s words, “Dean, I am not lacking in money.” She really wasn’t short of money. The buildings built by the Tang Family sold well. Every month, her father wired her several tens of thousands into her bank account, in case she needed it. Plus, during her three years in university, she saved quite a bit. Even though she was a student, she received special subsidies from the school. Her meals were free, and the school also gave her a monthly allowance. It wasn’t a lot, but it was definitely enough for her. Now, she was in the hospital. Her room and board were taken care of by the hospital, and her monthly salary was quite high. Basically, however much the hospital paid her, she saved. How could she be short of money?
“Yuxin, don’t lie to me,” The dean sighed heavily, “You are a good kid in all aspects, but you’re too stubborn and inflexible. If you have any problems, tell everyone and they can help you think of solutions. You don’t need to eat vegetables and tofu all the time. What kind of life is that? You’re not a rabbit. Do you really want to be vegetarian every day?”
Tang Yuxin finally realized what had been causing the misunderstanding. It was because she was always eating tofu and vegetables.
But she ate tofu and vegetables simply because they tasted good and suited her taste. Moreover, those vegetables and tofu didn’t cost her any money. They were all brought to her by Gu Ning.
After half a day of explanations, the dean finally believed she wasn’t short of money and wasn’t aspiring to be a rabbit by becoming a vegetarian. To convince the dean that she wasn’t poverty-stricken, she almost showed him her bank passbook. Her account had hundreds of thousands that her father had transferred over the months. But there wasn’t much to spend it on here, at most sanitary pads and hair ties.
After returning, she told Gu Ning about it. She grumbled for half an hour non-stop, like an old lady, blaming Gu Ning for bringing her food that wasn’t high-end enough. How could it be in a lunch box? Wouldn’t it be better in a golden bowl? She complained about the tofu and vegetables for being too monotonous, wishing they had a more sophisticated name.
