One look at the faces of her second auntâs family, and Xie Wanying could tell what they thought of her, but she wasnât surprised at all.
Is there a need to be angry or upset? No, there isnât.
Anyway, before and after her rebirth, she never thought about climbing the "high branch" of this family. Nobody could climb it, as seen from Xiao Shugangâs experience; this family demands your life as a price.
"Let me tell you. Xie Wanying, my dad might become the department leader." Looloo boasted excitedly about her fatherâs promotion. In comparison, this little cousin, who hasnât even graduated yet, her parents guessed that she might find it difficult to secure a job at any hospital.
Xie Wanying was thinking about what the older cousin just said about the lack of people to donate blood. Coincidentally, this family owed her eldest cousin Xiao Shugang a lot of favors.
"Cousin, thereâs something I need you to do." Xie Wanying decided and said.
"What is it?" Looloo asked.
"Cousin needs surgery and needs blood. My donation alone is not enough; we need to find more people."
"Are you suggesting I should donate blood for cousin?" Looloo immediately interrupted her, saying, "Iâm not in good health and canât donate blood."
Donating blood must be done carefully, saving it for yourself and family. After donating, when you need blood again, often there isnât enough in the blood bank to use. The blood donation certificate can only reimburse some blood costs but has no other practical use. This was the information provided by her parents, which is a common fact in hospitals.
Like Xiao Shugang and Shang Siling, who work as university teachers, they participate in the blood donation activities of their units every year, yet still need others to donate blood for them. Therefore, usually donating blood requires having a completely altruistic and unselfish mindset. Her parents already told her that she can avoid blood donations if not obliged by her unit, to have blood in reserve in case of emergencies for herself and her family.
Why should she, Looloo, do a good deed for Xiao Shugang? Doing it would mean getting scolded, scolded by her brother Ding Wenze.
"Cousin, youâre a smart person. I know who helped you get that job. Think about your own interests first." Xie Wanying wasnât afraid to throw this interest and loss right in front of the person, letting her make her own choice.
After hearing this, Loolooâs eyes stabbed at her face, her face flushed with anger, almost exploding: How did she not know before that this little cousin was such a scheming person?
Thatâs right; she got the job thanks to Father Xiaoâs colleague. Father Xiaoâs former colleagues cared deeply about his eldest son, Xiao Shugang. If these people found out she wasnât donating blood for Xiao Shugang, the superior job she worked so hard to get would be at risk, endangering her goal of becoming a big leader and making big money in a securities company.
"Would you go and tell them?" Loolooâs trembling finger pointed at Xie Wanying, "Iâm telling you, donating blood is voluntary; what youâre doing is inhuman; how can you still be a doctorâ"
"Thereâs no wall that doesnât let wind through; thereâs no need for me to say anything." Xie Wanying said, using the tone of the second auntâs family was no difficulty. Besides, what she said was absolutely true. Soon, Father Xiaoâs colleagues would call to ask about Xiao Shugangâs situation. There were plenty of people not far from them who could hear them talking.
Looloo almost fainted from anger, her eyes darkening.
"Donating blood is voluntary. Cousin, Iâm not forcing you; only you can force yourself."
You can be heartless, or you can stop dreaming of promotions and riches.
Looloo understood the implication of this little cousin, so angry that she could only stomp her foot on the ground, wishing she could bury herself because, clearly, she was stuck.
