Lin Fangwei spoke to Zhao Sulan with utter indifference, "I understand, I just want some peace, you can go back. Oh, I know you don’t want to keep me company at night anymore, then just go back and take care of your brother. Just find me a caregiver to take care of me."
This way, she could command the caregiver to do things for her.
Money makes the world go round.
She believed that as long as she was willing to spend the money, she would certainly be able to find a young female to provide a kidney.
Lin Fangwei’s thoughts were quite accurate.
It was said that once she offered two hundred thousand, indeed there were young women who came forward to provide her with a kidney, and through legitimate means at that.
That is to say, the other party did it voluntarily.
After all, two hundred thousand.
Based on the salary of an average worker at the time, it amounted to more than twenty years’ worth of income.
This woman had been forced to divorce after a year of marriage due to her inability to bear children.
She felt that she couldn’t have children, and if she were to remarry, she could only marry a man who already had children, to take care of someone else’s kids.
With good luck, she might live in peace with the child until they grew up, then be abandoned in her old age.
With bad luck, she’d be mistreated as soon as she remarried. Better to exchange a kidney for two hundred thousand and live on her own.
This woman also had O-type blood and was infertile due to blocked fallopian tubes, but had no other health issues.
Initially, under the guidance of a nurse, the deal was close to being done, but Zhao Sulan ruined it in the end.
Of course, she did it behind Lin Fangwei’s back.
Zhao Sulan lied to the nurse, saying, "Although it’s just a fallopian tube blockage, who can guarantee there are no hidden issues with her kidneys? We can’t take that risk, please understand."
The nurse was very understanding.
She felt that as Zhao Sulan was Lin Fangwei’s biological mother, being so picky was not at all wrong.
This was being responsible for Lin Fangwei.
What she didn’t know was that Zhao Sulan simply wanted to cause Lin Fangwei trouble.
She wanted to take revenge on Meng Wanhua through this means.
Yes, she now hated Meng Wanhua the most.
She felt there was no justification for what Meng Wanhua did when she switched the babies back then.
Indeed, she had seduced Lin Youdong, who had been married to Meng Wanhua for just over a month.
But she never forced Lin Youdong to divorce and marry her.
It was Lin Youdong who, upon learning of changes in national policy, despised Meng Wanhua’s rural background and used her as a pretext to pressure Meng Wanhua into divorce.
Without her, Lin Youdong would have still left Meng Wanhua.
And perhaps, he might have resorted to tarnishing Meng Wanhua’s reputation to end the marriage.
Looking at it that way, she had actually helped Meng Wanhua.
Okay, so Meng Wanhua wouldn’t thank her for it, and she didn’t care for that.
But even so, Meng Wanhua should not have switched the babies.
Zhao Sulan thought Meng Wanhua’s baby-switching was a heinous act, yet she found all sorts of ways to justify her own role in it.
She told herself that she too had intended to treat Zhao Xiaoxin well.
But it was all because Zhao Xiaoxin was a hopeless case, unable to pull herself together.
With Zhao Xiaoxin’s temperament, even if she lived with the Lin family, she would have been useless and would not have brought glory to the Lin family like Lin Fangwei did, earning the favor of Lin Youdong.
So in this way, she didn’t wrong Zhao Xiaoxin at all.
Besides, she had raised Zhao Xiaoxin for so many years.
Her investment was nothing less than what a typical family would provide.
Keep in mind she had also reluctantly taken care of Old Madam Lee for many years for the sake of Zhao Xiaoxin.
As for wronging Lin Youdong?
Lin Youdong was originally a cold and unfaithful man. His affection for Lin Fangwei was because she was capable, bringing him fame and facilitating business deals, thereby reaping tangible benefits.
If Lin Fangwei were as useless as the fool Zhao Xiaoxin, he wouldn’t care for her at all.
So to speak, regarding this matter, Lin Youdong made a profit too.
Of course, these thoughts were nothing more than self-deception for Zhao Sulan, something she told herself in her heart to console herself and to absolve her sense of guilt.
