Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“That’s outrageous! I’m sick and you’re still so angry at me. Are you saying I’m not dying fast enough? You brat!”
Zhao Xiumei cursed from her wheelchair.
“Grandma, don’t be angry now that you’re like this. Watch your tongue!” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Because of her illness, Zhao Xiumei felt weak and didn’t have the strength to stand, so she could only sit in the wheelchair and be angry.
At this moment, Lan Tingyun was busy looking for Lan Tingyi.
“Tingyun, why are you here? Is Mom dying?” Xu Yanshan asked agitatedly.
“No, I found a job for Tingyi and Mom is doing well. I’ve told Mom about this, I would like to ask him about it.”
Lan Tingyun looked inside.
“Hurry in! Tingyun, hurry!”
Xu Yanshan greeted him enthusiastically.
“Tingyi, I have a job at the hospital, would you be willing?”
Lan Tingyun smiled.
“I’m not going to wash the toilets!”
Lan Tingyi was the first to refuse.
“No, this job only takes night shifts, it’s…”
Lan Tingyun probed.
“What?”
Looking at Lan Tingyun’s nervous expression, Xu Yanshan wondered if it was a good job.
“It’s in the hospital watching the mortuary. You’re usually going to be in charge of registration and handover, the salary is high, but you need to be a little braver.”
Lan Tingyi looked at Lan Tingyun, seeming dissatisfied.
“You want me to look after the dead?” Lan Tingyi said, dissatisfied.
“You’re a doctor too, you have to respect the dead. The night shift needs people and time is free. Why don’t you take a look?”
Lan Tingyun continued to explain.
“No, no, no! What kind of job are you looking for? Can’t you just give your brother a proper job? What kind of job is it to look at a dead person? It’s so horrifying in the middle of the night!”
Lan Tingyi was disgusted.
“Tingyun, is the night shift’s pay high?” Xu Yanshan asked.
“Not bad, 8000-9000 a month.”
Lan Tingyun thought for a moment.
“Sure! I’ll discuss it with your brother!”
Xu Yanshan smiled, looking satisfied.
“Alright, go to the hospital to work if you can. And Mom misses Tingyi, so you can visit her when you’re free. She misses you guys a lot.” Lan Tingyun added.
“Alright.”
After Xu Yanshan sent Lan Tingyun off, she started to scheme against him.
“Tingyi, I think this will do,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.
“What? You can go if you want!”
Lan Tingyi waved his hand in dissatisfaction.
“Listen to me, this hospital’s mortuary is a good place. How long has it been since you last touched a scalpel? There are dead people in the mortuary that don’t know how to speak. Who would know if you slit their wounds? After we’re done with these dead people and our skills have improved, we’ll go to another hospital to work so that we won’t have to suffer from tension here. Just treat it as an overtime operation. How is that?”
Xu Yanshan’s eyes were full of ideas.
“You sure are something.”
Lan Tingyi praised.
“Of course,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.
After leaving Lan Tingyi’s house, Lan Tingyun went back. The moment he entered, he saw Zhao Xiumei sobbing.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Lan Tingyun comforted her.
“That unfilial daughter of yours is angering me to death! She didn’t let me off even after I bled yesterday!”
Zhao Xiumei was aggrieved.
“What’s wrong? Anran, come out!”
Lan Tingyun shouted upstairs.
“Uncle, Grandma was angry with her. She was caught stealing the test papers in school. It’s my fault too, I told Grandma about this. Grandma only said a few words to her and she was upset, so she retorted. It’s my fault!”
Lan Yaxin’s words infuriated Lan Tingyun.
“What? Steal test papers?” He asked in disbelief.
“Good sister, you speak so quickly!”
Lan Anran came down when she heard the voice.
“Anran, what happened?” Lan Tingyun asked solemnly. He didn’t believe his daughter would do such a thing.
“Dad, do you believe her or me?” Lan Anran asked with a faint smile.
“Dad, I believe Sis didn’t steal it. You saw the Pharmacy Competition. Sis is first place, is there a need to be afraid of the mid-term exam? Someone must have framed her!”
The news of Lan Anran stealing the test papers had spread to the Arts Academy and now, everyone knew that it was his sister. Although he couldn’t hold his head up high, he believed that his sister wouldn’t do such a thing.
“Framed?”
Lan Tingyun’s expression was solemn.
“Frame her? The test paper was found under the brat’s desk and she is still trying to defend herself? The Lan Family is humiliated!”
Zhao Xiumei wiped her mucus.
“Grandma, you didn’t see it in person, are you saying that the person who framed her is going to stuff the test paper into her hand in front of everyone?”
Lan Yanran was upset.
“B*stard! How dare you rebut me?”
Zhao Xiumei cursed.
“Yanran! I think there’s something fishy about this. I don’t believe my daughter would do such a thing. I’ll explain it to the school. I believe in my daughter!” Lan Tingyun said firmly.
It was the first time Lan Anran had given him such a firm choice and she was a little touched..
