Chapter 96: Chapter 93: The Distribution of 300,000
"Yes, Li Si, maybe you’ve forgotten. Last semester, you participated in the blood donation event organized by the school, which allowed us to find you! We hope you can support our work! If your match is successful, you wouldn’t just be saving a life but also rescuing an entire family!"
Deng Hui delivered the well-prepared script. To make it convincing, they indeed had conducted investigations at the school!
Li Si thought for a moment; it seemed that had indeed happened! However, for some reason, she felt that the man standing in front of her carried a hint of arrogance and mockery in his eyes.
If it’s truly, as he said, an act of charity, she’d absolutely do it. But seeing the situation now... Everything felt suspicious! Just because she donated blood, they’re assuming there might be a match? Ridiculous!
"Mr. Deng, I want to ask a small question! If you identified me through the school, why didn’t you contact me directly? Why come here instead?"
This was what Li Si found most incomprehensible; if they’d gone to the school, they could have easily gotten her contact information! Why bypass her and come to her uncle’s house?
Deng Hui froze for a moment before recovering quickly: "Ah, that’s because of this! Li Si, it’s the National Day break right now. Since the school was closed, we couldn’t reach you personally, so we ended up coming to your relatives’ house. We hope you won’t find our actions abrupt! Time is really tight for saving a life; the patient can’t wait!"
From his demeanor and words, Li Si couldn’t detect a shred of sincerity and instinctively felt she was being lied to.
"Oh! I see! But sorry to disappoint you—I happen to be anemic myself, so bone marrow donation isn’t something I can help with. I hope you understand!" She casually offered an excuse, intending to gauge his response.
Just as Li Si finished speaking, Zhang Meihua’s sharp voice pierced the room: "Li Si, since when were you anemic? Why haven’t we ever heard about it? As humans, we ought to be kind-hearted! This is just a matter of drawing some blood—why do you keep making excuses?"
What a lucrative opportunity, yet she resisted? Zhang Meihua felt her anxiety twist inside her. If her blood could work instead, would she even need Li Si?
"Aunt Meihua, there are plenty of things you all don’t know! I know my own body best! If you’re so kind-hearted, why don’t you go donate some blood? And besides, your daughter Li Fei—who knows, maybe she might be the match! This good deed should stay in the family. I’m heading off now!"
The more Li Si thought about it, the more suspicious things became—it felt like this wasn’t just about drawing blood!
"Li Si, don’t rush off just yet! Hear me out before you go, alright? Earlier, before you arrived, I already discussed this with your relatives. If the matching is successful, the patient’s family has agreed to offer a reward of 300,000 yuan. That’s a benefit most donors wouldn’t receive!"
In a hurry, Deng Hui blocked Li Si as she turned to leave, blurting out the terms of the negotiation.
Li Si stared intensely at the regretful expressions on Zhang Meihua and Grandma Li’s faces. These were supposed to be her ’family.’ No wonder they looked so pleased earlier; were they possibly imagining how joyous it’d be if she successfully matched? Just the thought of it seemed thrilling to them, didn’t it?
Li Si sneered: "Oh, so this isn’t about donation—it’s a straightforward transaction?"
Deng Hui, sensing the strange expressions of those present, swiftly realized something was off: "Li Si, please don’t misunderstand. The patient’s family acted with good intentions! After all, the 300,000 yuan could help with your recovery, work, and life in the long run!"
Zhang Meihua was furious. She’d planned on quietly pocketing the money, keeping most of it for herself while leaving Grandma Li with a small portion. Who would’ve thought this Little Li Si had become so difficult to manipulate, directly exposing everything!
"Li Si, think about it—our families’ financial situations aren’t great. This money could make things easier for everyone, right?"
Zhang Meihua nudged Grandma Li, signaling her to speak up.
"Li Si, earlier Mr. Deng mentioned that bone marrow donation is very simple and not scary at all! Look, you were brave enough to donate blood before—why not donate some bone marrow too? When the money comes in, Grandma will give you 50,000 yuan; how does that sound?"
Li Si, enraged, laughed bitterly: "Oh? Why only 50,000 for me?"
Grandma Li felt a bit ashamed but, thinking of her own children, gritted her teeth and replied, "Our family has three kids—you, Li Fei, and Wu Yue. Each gets 50,000 yuan, totaling 150,000 yuan. Between myself, your aunt, and your uncle’s family, each household gets 50,000 yuan—making it 300,000 yuan altogether!"
Zhang Meihua was secretly delighted. Although giving her sister-in-law’s family an extra 100,000 seemed excessive, at least Grandma Li’s authority could suppress Little Li Si, this stubborn girl! More money now, less trouble later!
"So, based on your math, Grandma, you and I are getting the smallest shares—only 50,000 each—while they get 100,000 for their family?"
Li Si felt deep humiliation and anger as a child of the Li Family. If it weren’t the bone marrow today, would they one day come for her organs instead? They’d surely support selling them! Without a doubt! As long as it wasn’t Li Fei or Wu Yue, anything sold off from Li Si would be fair game—why bother blaming anyone for that? After all, wasn’t it her misfortune to be the one without parents?
"50,000 isn’t so little, Li Si! Stop being so stubborn! Just take advantage of the holiday break—you can donate and be back before classes start; it’s very straightforward!"
Grandma Li genuinely believed 50,000 yuan was a significant amount for Li Si. What she failed to consider was that donating bone marrow meant both a physical sacrifice and potential health repercussions for Li Si. As for the others, they would merely sit back and wait to take the money.
Deng Hui cleared his throat. Initially, he hadn’t wanted to comment. But this family’s behavior was too outrageous for him to stay quiet!
"Let me say something! The 300,000 yuan is intended as a reward specifically for Li Si from the patient’s family! So, ma’am, your method of splitting it up is clearly unreasonable! Plus, there’s another matter—the success of the match is still uncertain! Discussing how to divide the money now seems premature!"
"What? My granddaughter’s money? I’m her grandmother—she’s so young! Such a large amount of money in the hands of a little girl would surely be deceived by bad people. No way! Even if the match is successful, the money must remain with me for safekeeping! When she gets married and starts a family, I’ll hand it over. Li Si, Grandma is doing this for your own good!"
Grandma Li’s calculation was so loud and clear it was eye-opening.
By now, Li Si wasn’t angry or hurt—she felt completely numb! Getting upset over these people wasn’t worth it. What if she made herself sick in frustration? That’d be a losing game!
"Mr. Deng, my grandmother also has another granddaughter named Li Fei. We’re all blood-related! Here’s an idea—I’m genuinely uninterested in the 300,000 yuan. Since we’re all family, it doesn’t matter who donates, right? Why not discuss this further with my aunt and her family? I’m heading off now!"
Li Si directly threw the metaphorical ball back at them. Let them mess around however they wished—it had nothing to do with her anymore.
