"How is this the sa? Anyway, Xiao Yi must pay this money," said Zhang Huilan, who didn’t want to contribute more, even though her son and daughter-in-law had money now. Compared to them, Han Yi and Lin Wan were much wealthier; this amount of money ant nothing to them.
"Aunt, don’t argue with the other aunt. I’ll cover Grandma’s dical expenses, so you don’t need to worry,"
While Zhang Huilan and Fang Xin were arguing, Han Yi had sohow sneaked in from behind. By the stern look on his face, it was clear he’d been standing there for a while.
Zhang Huilan didn’t care about Han Yi’s mood at that mont; she laughed imdiately upon hearing he would pay for the dical expenses and patted Han Yi’s shoulder, saying, "Xiao Yi is so sensible; your grandma didn’t dote on you for nothing."
"Sister-in-law, we don’t agree with what Xiao Yi said. As a son, when my mother is ill, how can I let a nephew pay?"
Zhang Huilan originally thought Shen Xinghe had left for a long ti because he had gone to work. But seeing him co in, she shivered.
With an awkward smile, she said, "But Xiao Yi has already agreed."
"He’s willing to pay for his grandma because of filial piety, but we as parents cannot exploit this emotion and let a nephew take out money. He can offer, but we should not accept. Sister-in-law, does elder brother not know about this yet today? Mom hasn’t woken up yet, so you’d better be honest, lest I tell elder brother later," Shen Xinghe, in front of the young mbers of the family, showed no rcy towards this sister-in-law.
Feeling guilty after being reprimanded by her younger brother-in-law, Zhang Huilan said, "Our mom needs a lot of money, and with our families, how can we afford it? If the nephew offers out of his filial piety, why shouldn’t we accept?"
Shen Qing, standing behind Shen Xinghe, maintained a calm expression that made it hard to tell if she was angry or not, "Sister-in-law, my siblings and I will do whatever it takes to cover mom’s dical expenses. As for Xiao Yi’s money, as his mother, I’ll help him pay. You’re right; after all these years, thanks to mom’s care for Xiao Yi, he’s achieved his current status. Grandma is ill; it’s only right for him to be more attentive and contribute even more."
"My little sister-in-law is right; that’s true." Zhang Huilan smiled at the others. These were their own words.
Shen Xinghe and Fang Xin couldn’t stand her face and turned coldly to enter the ward.
anwhile, Han Yi grabbed Shen Qing’s wrist and said, "Mom, I can afford Grandma’s dical expenses."
"I know, but you shouldn’t pay for everything. Don’t worry, if we truly run out of money, we will definitely ask you for help," Shen Qing counseled Han Yi, letting out a small sigh.
This ti, her mother’s illness indeed required a lot of money. Her elder brother probably didn’t have much left after being squandered by Shen Rong these past few years. Her second brother’s family had two children who just got married, which cost them a lot.
She and Hu Bin had beco more affluent over the years, but with the addition of a television and a new telephone installed last year, they had spent thousands. However, their family did have so savings now.
These savings were the earnings of the family of four over the years; the children were grown up. She and Hu Bin initially planned to get Xiao Dung a house, and Lijuan was getting older and needed a dowry.
Lin Wan, hiding in the shadows of the staircase, noticed her mother-in-law’s worried expression.
Their family shouldn’t be worried about money. She and Han Yi had savings, and Grandma’s money wasn’t much for them as a couple.
Not to ntion them, even their cousins shouldn’t be unwilling to pay for Grandma’s treatnt. They were also financially stable now.
Lin Wan sighed and didn’t enter the ward; instead, she slowly descended the stairs to the first-floor inpatient departnt and paid five thousand yuan upfront for Grandma’s hospital fees. Fortunately, she had brought a shoulder bag with her this ti, containing all the cash.
As she turned around, she bumped into a solid wall of flesh, and when she looked up, it was Han Yi, full of guilt.
Making Lin Wan montarily unable to react, she paused for a few seconds and said, "Why did you co down?"
"I saw you from upstairs, so I followed. Xiao Wan, thank you," At that mont, Han Yi really wanted to hug Lin Wan and kiss her, but with so many people around, he just held Lin Wan’s hand and smiled comfortingly.
"Why thank ? This is all your earnings. I’ve paid Grandma’s dical expenses. After this, both you and Little Star, you must spend my money,"
"Mhm mhm, I’ll definitely be obedient; anything from massaging to back rubbing is fine."
