My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s Chapter 1124

The total amount intended for them exceeded three million.

“Indeed,” Gu Yu confirmed with a nod. “According to my mother, this money consists of your personal savings. It just happened that I invested a portion of it previously. My mother also included two hundred thousand in interest. She mentioned that you understand your own daughter’s character best. If she is willing to stand by you and repay these debts, then she deserves to see this money. However, if she refuses… well, you can imagine the outcome. This sum was kept safe by my mother, and she is returning it to you with both the principal and the interest. Had she given it to anyone else, you wouldn't have received a single cent.”

“I see,” he pondered for a moment. “Let’s look for a house.” He pulled a pen and paper from his bag to jot down a specific address and contact number. The location was excellent; the price was fair, and it featured a large plaza and a fresh food market nearby. It was an ideal living environment for elderly people. Furthermore, the property offered specialized security services. If an emergency occurred, one simply had to call the guards from upstairs, and assistance would arrive immediately. For seniors living on their own, it was a perfect fit.

The property price was manageable, leaving him with a comfortable reserve of two hundred thousand for himself. Any more than that, and he would have to worry about certain "vampires" appearing to bleed them dry. For over a decade, those people hadn't bothered to check in, all because they were terrified of being held responsible for the debts. Now that a new house was in the picture, he didn't doubt for a second that person would show up.

“It’s time for me to head out,” he said, writing down another set of digits. “This is my mobile number; feel free to call me at any time.” Gu Yu reflected on his schedule; he could be reached whenever necessary. Having completed his college entrance exams, he had a two-month summer break ahead. He intended to spend that time shadowing his mother at the hospital to learn and keeping his grandfather company.

After Gu Yu’s departure, the elderly couple remained motionless, staring at the bank card in a daze. With trembling hands, Sang Zhilan picked up the card and pressed it into Wei Tian’s palm. “You should keep this. Use it however you see fit.”

Wei Tian felt he couldn't possibly accept it. This money was a gift from Sang Zhilan’s daughter to her mother. While it was framed as a repayment, it was essentially a financial safety net, provided with extra interest. This was Tang Yuxin’s contribution to her mother, delivered by her own son. As for Wei Tian, he had done nothing for her in his entire life. It was simply the hand that fate had dealt them.

Sang Zhilan understood Wei Tian’s hesitation, but she had already accepted her lot in life. She would take responsibility for her past errors; they were hers alone and had nothing to do with Wei Tian. In truth, given her youthful temperament, she would have sought an escape even if Wei Tian hadn't been the one. Back then, she was far too arrogant to endure the hardships of rural life. Who could have predicted that the people once covered in grime would rise to become real estate moguls? Meanwhile, she, who had craved wealth so desperately, didn't even possess a proper roof over her head.

Clutching the card and the slip of paper, Wei Tian let out a heavy sigh. “Let’s go and view the house.” Indeed, they should see it—a home was the thing they had longed for most in their lives. Throughout the years, they had been forced to move countless times. Each relocation took months of effort, and as their strength waned with age, they could no longer handle the exhaustion. Their greatest fear was passing away in a house that belonged to someone else. They craved a place of their own where they could finally settle their roots, even though they were already in their fifties.

Nodding, Sang Zhilan wiped her eyes, gathered her belongings, and prepared to leave with Wei Tian. They had only just cleared the final installment of their long-standing debt. It was unexpected that after settling everything, they would find themselves with such a large sum of money. Yet, instead of joy, they were overcome by a profound sense of grief.
