He’s only got one child, Jiang Xue, and even though she’s married now, he still can’t help but worry. He wants to live a few more years so he can support her.
"We’ve got money!" Jiang Xue nodded seriously, then patted Father Jiang’s hand and said, "Dad, Qian Cheng also agreed, so you can rest easy. Plus, the money is what I earned, so my in-laws won’t have any objections."
"As long as you’re sure about it. By the way, did you say Qian Cheng has been transferred to Xu City?"
"Yes, but he just got transferred and is quite busy. So, he hasn’t had ti to co and see you. Qian Cheng said that once he has ti, he’ll take you to Xu City for a few days."
"Really? That’s great. Honestly, I’ve only been to Xu City once, and it was just in passing."
"Is that so? Then when the ti cos, how about we buy a house in Xu City, Dad? What do you think?"
Father Jiang thought his daughter was joking and responded casually, "That would be nice. But with Xu City’s high housing prices, when will we ever be able to afford it?"
"Dad, don’t worry about that. Your daughter is here. You will definitely have a house to live in Xu City." Jiang Xue laughed. She had long intended to buy a house in Xu City, but hadn’t had the ti to look at any.
When Father Jiang goes to the Second Hospital for surgery, she could take the chance to look around.
"Alright, I’ll just wait for my daughter to be filial." Father Jiang was happy again. Whether Jiang Xue was serious or not, even if it was just wishful thinking, he felt happy.
After the father and daughter chatted for a while, Jiang Xue noticed that the IV drip was almost finished, so she went to find a nurse to help change it. Then, she bought so fruit and canned goods for Father Jiang.
By the ti Father Jiang’s IV was completely done, it was almost eleven o’clock. Seeing her father was a bit tired, Jiang Xue told him to rest well while she stayed in the room to watch over him.
Jiang Xue stayed at the hospital for most of the day and in the late afternoon, Mrs. Jiang ca with chicken soup from ho. Jiang Xue helped feed it to her father, and only then did she leave the hospital under their urging.
After Jiang Xue left, Father Jiang told Mrs. Jiang about Jiang Xue planning to take him to the city for surgery. Mrs. Jiang was both surprised and happy, looking at Father Jiang and asking repeatedly, "Is what Xue’er said true?"
"Of course, it’s true."
"Where did she get so much money?" Mrs. Jiang asked. She was happy that her husband’s illness could be treated but was still worried about her daughter, afraid that the money was from an improper source, or that her daughter had borrowed it.
She didn’t want to burden her daughter because of her husband’s situation. Previously, in the rush to treat her husband’s illness, they hurriedly married off their daughter, already feeling they owed her enough. If she had to bear debts because of this, it would be even worse.
"She earned it by selling calligraphy." Father Jiang roughly recounted what Jiang Xue had told him to Mrs. Jiang. Hearing that their daughter had earned the money on her own, Mrs. Jiang finally felt relieved.
anwhile, back at ho, Jiang Xue’s in-laws asked about Father Jiang’s situation. Jiang Xue told them the truth and ntioned the plan to take Father Jiang to Xu City for surgery.
After hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Mu Siwu was silent for a mont before saying, "Xue’er, since your father needs surgery, we can’t offer much help. There’s a bit of money at ho. Take it with you when the ti cos."
"Yes, Xue’er, let know when you’re going, and I’ll get the money for you. But there’s not much, so don’t think it’s too little."
Jiang Xue felt deeply moved upon hearing this.
Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua are truly wonderful in-laws. If it were other in-laws, they might not even offer words of comfort, let alone money. But these two not only didn’t say anything negative, they even offered her money. How could she not be touched?
