Dongwu Town People's Hospital.
Outside the ergency room.
A doctor in a white coat walked out, and Jiang Yuelan imdiately rushed over excitedly, gripping the doctor's hand and anxiously asking, "Doctor, how is my mom? How is she really?"
The doctor patted her shoulder and smiled, "She is out of danger now, but it's best if she stays in the hospital for so ti to recuperate. Elderly people can't afford to be tossed around anymore."
As he spoke, the doctor gave Jiang Yuelan a deep look, full of helplessness in his eyes.
Jiang Yuelan's attire was clearly that of a rural woman, and from a particularly impoverished village at that. Such a family would find it very difficult to afford the high costs of hospitalization.
At this mont, Ye Qiu approached and said coldly, "Stop with the nonsense, get her admitted quickly, I want the best ward and the best treatnt, I'll cover all the expenses."
"No!" Jiang Yuelan beca anxious imdiately, shaking her head repeatedly, "You visiting us is already a great help, how can I let you spend money on my family?"
"Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking?!"
Ye Qiu shouted low, then softened, "I've said it before, Madman was my brother, my family, so his family is my family too. His mom is my mom. Isn't it natural for to spend on my family for their dical needs?"
"We are one family!" Ye Qiu emphasized again, adding weight to his words.
These simple words made Jiang Yuelan tremble, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
After Madman's death, she finally felt the warmth of a family again…
At this mont, the other doctors around all looked over, casting envious glances towards Jiang Yuelan.
"Such happiness, what a fortunate family."
"To have a brother so loyal among the n in the family, it's truly enviable."
"The crucial thing is, looks like they're not even biological brothers, right? That's so rare. Just a few days ago, I had a patient needing hospitalization; he was short just eight thousand dollars in fees, and among his six or seven biological brothers, not one was willing to contribute!"
"Running into such a brother is surely a blessing accumulated over generations for this family."
The doctors kept marveling.
Ye Qiu, however, had already pulled a doctor aside to handle the hospital admission procedures.
As soon as he paid, Jiang Yuelan ca running over with a child, sobbing uncontrollably, "Ye, Brother Ye, thank you, thank you so much. If you hadn't co today, I really wouldn't know what to do.
Erniu, for him to have such a group of good brothers as you, he, he must be really happy to see this from heaven."
Ye Qiu lightly patted Jiang Yuelan's shoulder and smiled, "Family doesn't say thank you, no need for that, you should go take care of Auntie now, I have a few things to handle here."
"Okay!" Jiang Yuelan nodded heavily, turned, and ran towards the ward.
anwhile, Ye Qiu found Jiang Lili sitting on a bench on the other side, and struck up a casual conversation.
Jiang Lili was quite talkative, and having no guard against Ye Qiu, he managed to hear a lot from her in a short ti.
Apparently, over the past couple of years, that Wolf Brother often used his status as the town mayor's son to repeatedly threaten Madman's family and extort large sums of money. After Madman's sacrifice, he beca even more aggressive in bullying them.
This left Ye Qiu sowhat helpless.
Why didn't sister-in-law tell Madman about this sooner? Let Madman bring over a dozen brothers; even the mayor would be scared into wetting his pants!
But thinking a bit more, Ye Qiu let it go.
After all, Jiang Yuelan was a rural person, simple and honest. Knowing that Wolf Brother's dad was the mayor and fearing his threats, it was easy to be intimidated. Even if Madman returned a couple of tis during that ti, she dared not tell him!
"Ye, Brother Ye." After explaining what happened in the past, the smile on Jiang Lili's face suddenly vanished, and she beca tense, "Can you guys stay a bit longer? I'm afraid once you return, those people will co looking for trouble again.
After all, they are the mayor's son. If things escalate, my sister and I can't handle it, not to ntion there are elders and children at ho."
"Don't worry about this." Ye Qiu smiled faintly, confidently saying, "I assure you, you won't be bullied by anyone again. I will handle today's matter properly, giving you and Madman a satisfactory answer."
"Brother Ye, thank you, thank you so much." Jiang Lili also burst into tears of gratitude, attempting to kneel in front of Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu quickly supported her, frowning and sternly saying, "I've said many tis, we are one family. If you act so distant again, Brother Ye will really get angry."
"Brother Ye, please, don't be angry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong." Jiang Lili was scared, kept her head down, continually apologizing.
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly, then changed the subject, "Co on, let's go to the town for a stroll, buy so things."
When he ca here, he also brought quite a few things, but he didn't expect Madman's family to be in such difficulty, rendering what he brought insufficient. Now he could only take advantage of the mont to buy so in the town.
"Okay." Finally, Jiang Lili completely regarded Ye Qiu as a family mber, nodded slightly, and agreed readily.
The two left the hospital and went to the main street of the town.
In no ti, they bought a variety of foods and supplents for Madman's mother.
More than twenty minutes later, as Ye Qiu was about to check out another store, he noticed Jiang Lili suddenly pausing.
Looking closely, it turned out she had her eyes on a piece of clothing in a boutique store.
"What, did you fancy that outfit?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
"No." Jiang Lili shook her head, "When my sister and I ca to town before, she liked that piece of clothing, thought it over for days, but eventually didn't buy it."
"Let's go, get it!" Ye Qiu decisively said, "And we'll buy you a few more sets of nice clothes while we're at it."
Jiang Lili and Jiang Yuelan were biological sisters, and they looked sowhat similar. Though simply dressed and without makeup, she still possessed a kind of simple beauty. If dressed up a bit, she would definitely not be inferior to those beauties in the cities.
"Alright." Jiang Lili nodded slightly, had long considered Ye Qiu family, and did not refuse.
But, just as she was about to enter the clothing store, she suddenly saw a man and a woman entering, and her face imdiately turned stiff, her body slightly trembling.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qiu frowned and asked.
He also noticed the couple, the man was tall and slender with so good looks, which in a small place like this would indeed be considered quite handso. The woman, however, was extrely obese, her body full of jiggling fat, resembling a pig. By the look of it, she must weigh at least one hundred eighty pounds.
This couple's stark contrast made anyone feel a strong sense of dissonance upon seeing them.
Before Jiang Lili could respond, a shrill woman's voice reached Ye Qiu's ears.
"Oh, isn't this Jiang Lili~ What is a bumpkin like you doing here?"
Saying this, the fat woman walked over with the handso man's arm in hers, head raised, full of arrogance.
