"Lin Mo, since you're marrying into my family, you are now my wife. Not only must you follow the three obediences and four virtues, but you also have to cut off all ties with your natal family!"

"That's your sister. Why should we spend money to save her?"

"Hmph, human life is at stake? What kind of person is your sister? Your Lin family are nothing but a nest of vipers. Otherwise, how could you become a son-in-law?"

Lin Mo sprinted on the way to the hospital, his ears constantly echoing with the snide remarks and scorn from his wife Xu Banxia's family.

Lin Mo was born into a tremendously illustrious family, but when he was twelve years old, his family suffered a terrible disaster, and the entire family was wiped out overnight.

Their father died defending the family, their mother was grievously wounded. She dragged him and his younger sister, Lin Xi, to safety. Their mother persisted for five years, but her injuries eventually resurfaced and she passed away. Only he and his younger sister, Lin Xi, remained to depend on each other.

Why the Lin family was originally afflicted with misfortune, Lin Mo could no longer remember.

Before her death, Mother gave Lin Mo a jade pendant, holding it in the highest regard.

Although Mother didn't speak clearly, Lin Mo felt that the family's downfall was all because of this heirloom jade pendant.

When he was very young, his father told him that this jade pendant contained the prosperity of the Lin family.

After his mother passed away, seventeen-year-old Lin Mo took on the responsibility of raising his younger sister. Although it was hard, he managed to persevere.

Three years ago, Lin Xi was diagnosed with leukemia. To afford the 100,000 yuan dowry for her sister's treatment, Lin Mo married into the Xu family.

For the past three years, Lin Mo has worked like a horse and a donkey, enduring insults at the Xu family. Yet, he accepted it all.

Now, my seriously ill younger sister has finally found a matching bone marrow donor, but she needs 300,000 yuan for the surgery.

Wife Xu Banxia is on a business trip, and her phone is unreachable.

Lin Mo couldn't come up with the money and went to borrow from the Xu family, but he was cruelly driven out of the Xu family.

Ran back to the director's office, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

In the office sat a man wearing glasses and with a conceited expression on his face, the head of the department, Zhao Jiafan.

Zhao Jiafan is Xu Banxia's senior and one of her pursuers. Xu Banxia married Lin Mo, and Zhao Jiafan is the one who insults Lin Mo the most behind his back.

Xu Banxia's family is in the medical business. Lin Mo was arranged by Xu Banxia to work at the hospital and was originally seeing patients in the office.

Zhao Jiafan, relying on his family connections, became the head of the department and started to make things difficult for Lin Mo.

Later, he simply sent Lin Mo to sweep the floor, turning him from a logistics staff member into a cleaning person.

But Lin Mo's younger sister was being treated in Zhao Jiafan's department, so Lin Mo could only swallow his anger. As long as his sister's life was saved, he was willing to do anything!

"Director Zhao..." Lin Mo pleaded, "Banxia is out on a business trip and might be busy. Her phone isn't getting through. So, you... could you please arrange for someone to treat Xier first? The fee, I will definitely make sure it's paid in full!"

"Hehehe..." Zhao Jiafan sneered. "Lin Mo, you've spent quite some time in the hospital. You should know the rules here. 300,000 yuan for medical fees is not a small sum. What if you default on payment later? What am I supposed to do?"

Lin Mo was furious and said in a low voice, "Director Zhao, I have worked in the hospital for three years. Do you think I am someone who avoids paying?"

"That's not an easy answer!" Zhao Jiafan said slowly. "Who in their right mind would want to be a son-in-law? It's not uncommon for someone used to eating to stiff the bill, is it?"

Lin Mo's face changed anxiously, and he gritted his teeth: "Director Zhao, I haven't received a penny in salary for three years at the hospital. This amount isn't thirty thousand, but it's not far off. When Banxia comes back, I'll borrow some more..."

"Don't look back, just borrow it now!" Zhao Jiafan smiled. "Oh, by the way, Banxia won't answer your calls. Why don't I give her a call?"

Zhao Jiafan said, picking up his phone and dialing Xu Banxia's number. After three rings, the phone went through, and Xu Banxia's cold voice came: "Director Zhao, what's up?"

Lin Mo's heart ached suddenly. Over these past few days, he had called Xu Banxia hundreds of times, but she hadn't answered any. Zhao Jiafan answered every time. What did that say?

Although they haven't been legally married for three years, Lin Mo cares about her deeply.

Disregarding himself, Lin Mo also acknowledged, giving his all to a friend, is this how he treats himself?

"It's nothing, just calling to say hello." Zhao Jiafan proudly waved his phone at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo's mouth was about to explode, but before he could speak, Zhao Jiafan jumped in first: "Banxia, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to take care of. I'll hang up!"

Zhao Jiafan hung up the phone, not giving Lin Mo a chance to speak.

"Lin Mo, see? It's not that Banxia is busy, it's people who don't want to answer your calls!" Zhao Jiafan glanced at Lin Mo: "These years of yours, have you gotten used to eating and living off the Xu family? Do you think they should do anything for you?"

Lin Mo clenched his fists. His sister's crisis and his wife's indifference were pushing him to the brink of collapse.

Zhao Jiafan suddenly laughed and said, "What if I give you an idea?"

Lin Mo glanced at Zhao Jiafan, gritted his teeth and whispered, "What's your plan?"

"Don't you have two kidneys? Sell one, or you could raise enough money!" Zhao Jiafan laughed. "Anyway, the whole world knows that Ban Xia doesn't share a bed with you. What use are your two kidneys, haha…"

Lin Mo walked out of Zhao Jiafan's office with a pale face, his heart heavy. He arrived at his sister's ward in a daze.

As soon as I entered the room, I discovered that the patient had been changed.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "You... you guys are here? Where's my sister?"

Family members glanced at Lin Mo: “You’re talking about that kid just now? I heard he didn’t pay, and was thrown out!”

"What!?” Lin Mo cried out urgently, rushing out in a panic.

As soon as I reached the stairwell, I heard a sharp cry from outside.

"Someone jumped from a building!"

Lin Mo rushed over and saw in the yard outside, a frail figure lying on the ground. It was his younger sister, Lin Xi!

"Xi'er!" Lin Mo let out a heart-wrenching roar, running wildly over and holding Lin Xi, who was in the boat, in his arms.

Lin Xi's breath was weak. Seeing Lin Mo, a strained smile appeared on his thin face: "Brother, they all say that I'm your burden. I... I'm leaving, from now on... I won't drag you down anymore. You have to be good..."

"Xi'er, you...you listen to who talks nonsense!" Lin Mo turned his head and shouted: "Save people! Save people!"

Several doctors and nurses rushed over, but Zhao Jiafan stopped them. "They still owe the hospital over thirty thousand yuan. You guys saved them, so will you pay the fees?"

Those doctors and nurses were suddenly frightened and didn't dare to go over to help.

“Brother, don’t waste your money…” Lin Xi grabbed Lin Mo’s arm, blood continuously gushing out from his wound, but he still managed to smile: “This lifetime, having you as my brother, I… I’m so happy. It’s just a pity that this lifetime is… too short. If there’s another life, I… I still want to be your younger sister…”

Having finished speaking, Lin Xi's hand slowly dropped.

Lin Mo's heart was like a knife twisting, holding Lin Xi tightly, letting out a shrill roar: "Xi'er! Don't leave me, don't..."

He was surrounded by people, pointing and whispering.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "He... his tears are red..."

"Tears! Tears!"

Lin Mo's eyes were filled with tears, a bit of red, trickling down his cheeks and mixing with Lin Xi's.

No one noticed that this mixture, was slowly being absorbed by a jade pendant in Lin Mo's mouth.

Suddenly, a deafening boom echoed in Lin Mo's mind. A desolate voice, as if it had endured eons, reached his ears.

“I, Lin Chongxuan, the patriarch of the Lin family and a divine doctor with unparalleled skills, have inscribed all my knowledge into this jade pendant. Descendants of the Lin family can activate the jade pendant using the Lin family's pulse technique to receive my inheritance, practice medicine, and heal the world!”

Following that, a massive amount of information surged into Lin Mo's brain. Lin Mo felt like his mind was about to be torn apart.

After a long time, this information finally stopped.

Lin Mo opened his eyes again, and there were streaks of light swirling in his pupils.

He looked at the little sister in his arms, and could clearly see that the spark of life hadn't been extinguished completely.

Lin Mo pressed his hands on the top few without hesitation, helping to retain these vital signs. He hugged them and left the hospital.
