Chapter 3328: Brother Ma, Maybe You Should Go Home First?
The man was startled by Ning Shu’s icy gaze and quickly reassured her, “Sister-in-law, you should go home first. We’ll make sure to send him back later.”
Ning Shu stood up, covered her face, and ran out of the teahouse in tears.
Once outside, she lowered her hands and dusted herself off.
Right now, Ma Yongjun couldn’t actually harm her in the slightest.
When he hit her, her body had been covered with a layer of energy, so it didn’t hurt as much.
“Brother Ma, maybe you should go home first? Sister-in-law must have something important to tell you,” one of Ma Yongjun’s gambling buddies suggested.
Ma Yongjun let out a long breath, still feeling discomfort in his chest. It was probably just from being so angry. The discomfort was tolerable though.
“Ignore her. Women always make a fuss. Keep playing, keep playing!” Ma Yongjun waved for his friends to sit back down.
But before they could even finish a round, Ma Yongjun’s chest suddenly twisted with unbearable pain.
Sweat poured down his face as he gritted his teeth. “You guys better take me home. I’m not feeling well.”
His gambling friends exchanged looks before two of them finally got up to help him back home.
Ning Shu had just stepped into the house when there was a knock at the door.
She opened it and saw Ma Yongjun being held up by his friends. She feigned panic and asked, “What happened?”
She blocked the doorway, refusing to let them in.
“Sister-in-law, Brother Ma isn’t feeling well, so we brought him back.”
Ning Shu looked anxious. “If he’s not feeling well, he needs to go to the hospital! No, he must go to the hospital!”
“Can you help me take him there? I’m just a woman—I can’t bring Yongjun to the hospital alone. Please, help me.”
The two men looked at each other, reluctant, but they had no choice but to take Ma Yongjun to the hospital.
They carried Ma Yongjun while Ning Shu walked briskly ahead.
They practically had to run to keep up with her.
Luckily, the hospital wasn’t far, but by the time they arrived, the two men were panting heavily.
“Sister-in-law, we’ve brought him to the hospital, so we should get going now,” the so-called friends tried to slip away.
As Ma Yongjun was pushed in for examination, Ning Shu turned to them and said, “You know, Yongjun always told me you were his best friends, his closest brothers.”
“Now, the family has no money left, not even enough to cover his treatment. Can you lend me some money?” Ning Shu looked at them pitifully.
“He always said that if anything happened, you guys would definitely help him.”
One of them sighed. “Sister-in-law, this is all I have on me. It’s not much, but don’t look down on it. I lost almost everything tonight.”
Saying that, he pulled out a handful of small change. They barely added up to a few dozen yuan.
The other one added, “Yeah, this is all I have left.”
At least this one managed to take out a little over a hundred yuan.
Together, they didn’t even have two hundred yuan.
“Thank you.” Ning Shu wiped at her eyes as if she were wiping away tears, quickly pocketing the money. “Yongjun always said you were like real brothers, just not from the same mother. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay you back.” Ning Shu made a solemn promise.
The two men’s expressions darkened, but they only muttered, “You’re too polite. Just buy something for Brother Ma, count it as a gift from us.”
Ning Shu noted their sour expressions. Even handing over a measly hundred or so yuan made them uncomfortable.
They had feasted and partied with Ma Yongjun countless times, yet only that fool actually thought of them as real brothers.
