"You spend a year having a child, and we extend the old woman's life by another year. This is a very good deal."

She walked up to Jiang Momo, raised her hand, and gently stroked Jiang Momo's cheek.

"Look at you, such a smart and filial child, you certainly couldn't just stand by and watch your grandma not have money for medical treatment and end up having to be taken back to the countryside by bus, could you?"

Jiang Momo's eyes were bloodshot.

Jiang's mother continued talking, helping her tuck the stray hairs behind her ears.

"And I've heard that your grandmother's health seems to be deteriorating lately."

Jiang Momo's clenched fingers had drawn blood from her palms, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.

Her grandmother was the most important person in her life.

This is a threat! If we don't agree today, who knows what kind of monstrous things these heartless lunatics will do.

For now, we can only agree to keep them calm.

"Do your best on the exam..."

Jiang's mother was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"I promise you."

Jiang Weiwei hummed softly behind her.

"Why didn't you do this earlier? We had to threaten you with that old hag before you would listen. She's a dead woman, and I feel unlucky every time I mention her."

Every word Jiang Weiwei said was like a knife piercing her heart.

Suddenly, Li Jiuyuan's face appeared in Jiang Momo's mind.

Around the same time last time, she was harassed by the Jiang family, but Li Jiuyuan appeared in time to help her out.

He even stood up for her in front of the Jiang family couple.

Even though they had only known each other for less than 24 hours at that time.

It's much better than these hypocritical blood relatives in front of me.

She had made up her mind. After her grandmother finished her surgery and recovered properly, she would tell Li Jiuyuan the whole truth.

At that time, no matter how much Li Jiuyuan blames her, she is willing to bear it all.

"I've already agreed, I'm leaving now."

Jiang Momo didn't want to waste any more time with these people, so she left in a hurry.

As she passed through the living room, she looked at the fruit on the table and eventually took it with her.

Anyway, if I don't take it, Jiang Weiwei will definitely throw it in the trash.

She might as well take it back herself to avoid wasting money.

For Jiang Momo, every penny she earns now is incredibly precious.

That was Grandma's life-saving needle.

Walking along the tree-lined avenue outside the villa area, Jiang Momo was spared the rare moment when she didn't have to rush to hail a taxi.

Thinking about saving money, and with her ankle injury having healed considerably, she decided to endure the pain and walk back.

In fact, besides working as a Chinese language teacher at a junior high school during the day and as a tester for eggplants at a club at night, Jiang Momo was also supposed to work as a caddie at a golf course near the weekend.

Unfortunately, she is currently injured in the foot and has no choice but to take leave from the stadium.

But that would mean she'd earn two thousand yuan less per month.

As Jiang Momo walked, she opened her bank card and looked at the less than five-digit number on it, feeling a headache coming on.

This morning she received a message from the hospital saying that she needed to pay part of the hospitalization fees first.

Qian Jiang's family will cover this part, but she still needs to find a way to spend money to hire a caregiver for her grandmother, otherwise she won't have time to take care of her grandmother, and she can't always trouble Yin Qiongyun.

She needs to think of more ways to make money.

Thinking of this, Jiang Momo switched to the chat interface and sent a message to her mother.

"Give me 50,000 yuan."

The other end replied quickly; it was a voice message. Jiang Momo opened it and found that it was Jiang Weiwei's mocking voice.

"You can't even come up with this little bit of money? Jiang Momo, you're really pathetic."

There were also sounds of a puppy barking in the background audio.

Jiang Weiwei smiled and said, "Why don't you beg me, and I'll give it to you."

A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Momo's eyes as she typed rapidly.

"Your health isn't good, so buy some supplements to improve your condition so you can conceive more easily."

"As for why my health is not good, you should know better than I do."

A long silence fell on the other side.

Jiang Momo was indeed in poor health when she was born, and she also had a difficult birth.

Later, he was abandoned and barely survived.

Fortunately, her grandmother took good care of her after finding her, and Jiang Momo's health gradually improved.

She said all this today just to use this as an excuse to get money to hire a caregiver for her grandmother.

It's unclear how much time passed before Jiang's mother finally replied and transferred 30,000 yuan to her.

[This money is enough. After all, she's married into the Li family. If you ever need money, just ask President Li. He's definitely from the countryside; he's given my Weiwei such a good life, and she doesn't even know how to take advantage of it.]

Jiang Momo couldn't help but laugh when she saw the string of disparaging messages on the screen.

As expected, the Jiang family is a well-known wealthy family in Beijing.

Thirty thousand yuan isn't even enough to get Jiang Weiwei's dog a single maintenance treatment.

But they are unwilling to spend money on themselves.

Jiang Momo didn't reply to them, but silently clicked the "Receive Payment" button.

She then exited the chat with Jiang's mother and scrolled through her contacts.

Finally, it landed on a chat box with the nickname "Senior Yi".

She clicked on it and started editing the content.

[Senior, do you have any connections to hire a reliable caregiver?]

With the lesson learned from last time still fresh in her mind, Jiang Momo would never trust the Jiang family again.

Before the message was even sent, a voice call popped up instantly.

It was Senior Yi.
