Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 545

As Xinyan was about to leave, Jiang Peiqin gave Ji Xiaowen a cold look: "You really put in a lot of effort. Even after she’s gone, you didn’t forget to dig a hole for her. You’re quite the talent."

Ji Xiaowen didn’t expect this female classmate could see through her thoughts. Not daring to stay there any longer, she panicked: "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Saying this, she turned around and walked out.

Jiang Peiqin let out a scornful laugh: "These tactics are what those pretty-faced girls in the courtyard used in the past. Daring to perform them here at Jing University is truly clumsy."

Hearing these words, Ji Xiaowen staggered and almost fell. Today was really an unlucky day; not only did she fail to talk to Han Xinyan, but she was also mocked like this.

Her whole body trembled with anger.

If she weren’t out of options, she wouldn’t have come here.

Now her father has to support the three of them and periodically visit her mother, Qiu Chunli, at the farm hundreds of miles away. The household is truly on the brink.

Nowadays, even her medication costs are barely covered, and life at home is as difficult as it can get, with no one around willing to lend a hand.

Now, even her father and brother have become silent and withdrawn. She has tried to seek help from her uncle, and cousins, but they avoid her as if she were the plague.

It’s either they avoid seeing her or use various excuses to dismiss her.

Soon, her medication will run out. If she doesn’t see any money, what will she do about her anti-rejection drugs?

Previously, the doctor had said that if she didn’t get a kidney transplant, she wouldn’t live past eighteen. But even with a transplant, there’s no guarantee everything will be fine.

Of course, it’s best if there is no rejection post-surgery, but if rejection occurs, there are too many uncertainties. The specific situation needs to be judged based on the patient’s physical condition.

Yet her body just won’t cooperate. The doctor says the best result is if there are no signs of rejection a year later. This means she has to keep taking medication, and apart from that, she needs proper rest and nutrition.

But given the current situation at home, she can’t help but worry. Facing high medication costs, she could run out of meds at any moment. Even a daily egg is considered a luxury, forcing her to rack her brains for solutions.

Today, she came to Jing University to seek Xinyan’s sympathy, hoping she would be kind-hearted enough to persuade the Han Family to help, but she didn’t expect Han Xinyan to be so cold-hearted.

If Xinyan knew she was being judged this way, she might laugh in exasperation. People might be enthusiastic towards others, but truly cannot muster compassion for her.

What a beautiful dream she’s having; the Han Family finally got rid of a parasite. One would have to be out of their mind to bring it back.

Ji Xiaowen wandered aimlessly in the street, not knowing whom she could turn to next.

That day, she overheard neighbors in the courtyard talking quietly, saying her father raising her would drag the family down, and she should be married off to someone.

For the next few days, the way her father looked at her was peculiar, and she was actually quite scared. Therefore, she thought of seeking a way out with Han Xinyan, hoping she would feel compassion and speak up for her.

Standing under a tree outside Jing University, she saw a young couple walking towards her, and suddenly an idea struck her. Rather than bothering her father into marrying her off in exasperation, she might as well find someone herself.

Once she figured it out, her heart felt more at ease.

Reflecting on today’s misstep, she made her way towards the bus stop ahead; her health wouldn’t allow her to walk quickly, and she couldn’t handle even a slight increase in pace.

Seeing a bus approaching from afar, she knew she wouldn’t catch this one, so she continued to walk slowly.

Before she could turn her gaze back, a military jeep pulled over by the roadside.

A tall man got out of the car, although he wasn’t her type, he exuded a certain masculinity.

Looking at the jeep parked by the roadside, she thought: if she could find a partner with such good conditions, even if it wasn’t someone she liked, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

But just as she was lost in thought, she heard him speak with a smile towards the alley entrance: "No rush, take it slow."

Ji Xiaowen looked towards the alley entrance and saw Han Xinyan, who had just given her a hard time, coming out and walking towards the man: "Alright, let’s go."
