Lin Wan didn’t get angry and looked at Xie Lingzhi with a smile. "Aunt Xie might be disappointed. Your good daughter-in-law is much more delicate than mine. Just a little bit of rain, and she’s fallen ill. She’s downstairs being checked by Xiao Wang right now."
"Ah Qing is sick?" Xie Lingzhi muttered to herself, then looked at her son. "Xiao Chi, go and check what’s happening."
anwhile, Old Mrs. i lying on the bed, patted the bed with her other hand not receiving treatnt, and said, "What a sin, it’s all your father’s foolishness. The i Family won’t find peace anymore."
"Mom, don’t mind these things. Just focus on recovering," i Shuqing glanced at Old Mrs. i and said.
"I’m already so old, and you still won’t let us enjoy so peace. Every day is a ruckus, and your father and I have both ended up in the hospital. When will it ever end?"
Beside her, Xie Lingzhi remained silent, while Liang Qian secretly rolled her eyes, thinking: It’s hard to say whether this commotion involves Xiao Wan being poisoned and if she has anything to do with it.
"Grandma, calm down for now. After the drip, maybe Grandpa will wake up. I’ll go downstairs to check on Ah Qing first," i Langchi coaxed the old lady.
The old lady’s temper imdiately eased a lot, and she said to her grandson, "Go, go."
Xie Lingzhi increasingly felt that the old house where they lived had been ominous in recent years.
Liang Qian might be right; this house shouldn’t be lived in anymore. Xie Lingzhi wanted i Shuping to apply for a new house, but that was impossible. He’s always been filial and definitely wouldn’t abandon the elderly.
So this plan won’t work, she has to think of another way. Secretly look at a few properties and buy a suitable one. If not, they’ll have to move the elderly as well.
Such a troubleso old house, she wouldn’t miss it.
...
Lin Wan felt stifled in the hospital room, so she took Little Star out to find Han Yi. This ti, when they walked over, Han Yi had woken up.
Seeing his bloodshot eyes, Lin Wan knew he hadn’t slept well last night.
"Why are you here?"
"As the granddaughter-in-law, i Family’s elderly are sick, I should co and take a look."
"Look at what, there are plenty of people here. Didn’t you see both sons and daughters-in-law guarding day and night? What need is there for you, pregnant, to take care of them," Chen Haichang, awake nearby, yawned lazily and spoke to Lin Wan.
Han Yi didn’t say much, stood up to make space and let his wife sit down, raising his wrist to check his watch, "Have you eaten yet?"
Lin Wan and Little Star shook their heads simultaneously. "I wanted Aunt Wu to make so porridge, but who knew Ye Qing got sick, so I ca with Xiao Wang."
"Ye Qing is sick?" Chen Haichang comnted flatly, as if he had expected it.
Han Yi didn’t care who’s sick as long as his two treasures are healthy. "Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat sothing."
"I’m coming too," Chen Haichang quickly stood up.
Lin Wan wanted to invite the stepmother to eat together, but unexpectedly, the stepmother and stepfather had already eaten at seven.
The hospital’s cafeteria is quite large, but the food was diocre, mostly plain dishes for patients.
Lin Wan ate very little.
Around ten o’clock, Mr. i woke up. Upon waking, he seed confused, mumbling words indistinctly.
Having just undergone surgery, he shouldn’t make big movents, but when the doctor touched his leg, he frowned, obviously in pain at the knee.
The doctor suggested taking an X-ray to check if the leg is fractured.
To their surprise, the results showed the leg wasn’t ideal either.
Both knees had cracks, and one knee even had so broken bones. The cracks could heal slowly, but the fragnts needed surgical reattachnt. Otherwise, the leg would never stand straight.
The nose surgery was just completed, and now another surgery is needed. i Shuqing worried that Mr. i wouldn’t tolerate it and suggested delaying it for two or three days.
He’s over eighty, and enduring such hardship is tough. It’s indeed i Erqing’s consequences.
Mr. i had passed the critical phase, so i Shuping felt there’s no need for so many people to stay and asked Xie Lingzhi to hire a caregiver. Mr. i had his guards, who could help take care of him.
Leaving i Shuping alone at the hospital for one day, the rest were sent ho to catch up on sleep. Originally, he wanted Chen Haichang to stay, since this incident started because of him. He feared Chen Haichang might do sothing to the elders, so he sent him away.
Chen Haichang couldn’t wait to leave. He was so tired he wanted to lie down on the floor and take a nap.
Han Yijian didn’t have to stay, he whisked his wife and child away in a puff of smoke to catch up on sleep.
Only i Langchi stayed, his eyes red, watching over Ye Qing by the hospital bed.
After Ye Qing was sent to the ergency room by Xiao Wang, the doctor hurriedly ran a series of tests. Who knew she had so many inflammations?
On her face, in her throat, even below her body. Yesterday’s dousing brought out all of Ye Qing’s ailnts.
i Langchi’s face was dark, staring unblinkingly at Ye Qing.
Throat inflad, face swollen,
he didn’t forget what the doctor advised him.
Reaching this point, he felt there was no need to drag it on any further. Divorce right after the New Year.
Of course, i Langchi had no compassion to stay with her forever. As the IV drip was about to finish, i Langchi got up and left. Didn’t even tell the nurse.
When the drip finished, it wasn’t disconnected promptly, causing so backflow of blood, luckily a nurse discovered it.
Ye Qing wasn’t aware of this little episode when she finally woke up in the afternoon.
....
"Oh my, Hua Hua, you’ve grown so sturdy and handso." In the market, Aunt Wu brought Hua Hua out to grocery shop. "Just happened" to be seen by Li Liang’s parents.
"Hello grandpa and grandma, what a coincidence, thank you for the candies you gave yesterday." Hua Hua definitely recognized these two, they were the ones who gave him sothing to eat last night.
"Such a good mory this little one has. I still have plenty of candies and treats at ho. Do you want to co play at grandma’s?" Li Liang’s mom increasingly saw the resemblance to her son Li Liang when he was young, liking him even more.
Hua Hua dared not speak. But Aunt Wu smiled, "Big sister, have you seen this little lord of my employer’s house?"
"Ah... ah, yes, I happened to pass by the gate yesterday and saw this child playing with a few kids, very adorable. He watched as the others ate their treats, such a pitiful sight. I just felt sorry and gave him so candies. Didn’t expect such a coincidence, this little guy was the child Sister Wu often talks about." Li Liang’s mom almost spilled the secret, hurriedly explained.
"Oh, that’s quite a coincidence." Aunt Wu didn’t think much of it. Smiled and bid farewell to Li Liang’s mom, then led Hua Hua to buy groceries.
How could Li Liang’s parents miss such a great opportunity? They followed behind Aunt Wu, hoping to interact more with Hua Hua.
Moreover, Li Liang’s dad had just deliberately bought Hua Hua the instant noodles he loved and a handful of candies.
Hua Hua wanted to accept but habitually looked at Aunt Wu first.
When Aunt Wu saw them giving things to Hua Hua, she quickly refused, "Oh dear, brother, that’s not right, our mistress has rules, this kind of junk food shouldn’t be given to children. It’s not nutritious, sorry brother."
Aunt Wu returned the stuff to Li Liang’s dad, and upon hearing Aunt Wu’s explanation, their enthusiasm imdiately dampened by half.
They awkwardly smiled, retracting their hands, "I see... prominent families are indeed strict. In ordinary families like ours, no one cares that much, we buy whatever the kids like. We spoil them to bits."
"Who’s to say otherwise, take my grandson for instance, every ti I go back, I bring big bags of stuff for him, the kind of leftovers the big houses don’t care for. They don’t realize that these things are considered good stuff in families like ours. Just yesterday, I prepared a table full of dishes, fish, and at, and because of so issue, the whole family ended up fighting. A whole table of food, had it been sumr, we’d have to toss it all. But since it’s winter, they generally don’t eat leftovers. Anyway, I called my spouse early today to pack it all up and bring it ho."
"How’d they end up fighting?"
Once Li Liang’s mom asked, Aunt Wu realized she had said too much, shyly smiled at Li Liang’s mom and said, "Nothing, nothing. I just rembered, I need to go back and do laundry. I’ll be off, big sister, let’s chat next ti."
With that, she pulled Hua Hua to another vegetable stall.
Li Liang’s mom saw she was leaving so quickly and hurriedly said, "Leaving already? Got all your groceries for today?"
"Uh... yes, I’m off then." Aunt Wu chuckled and dodged Li Liang’s mom’s questions.
Seeing Aunt Wu taking Hua Hua further away, Li Liang’s mom slapped her own face with a ’clap’, "It’s my fault for being nosy, asking that question."
"Be more careful with your words. Sister Wu has this trait, if you don’t ask, she’ll tell you everything. But if you ask, she realizes and clams up." Li Liang’s dad pondered, rubbing his chin as he looked at the distance, then after a while said to his wife, "The New Year is approaching, we should think of a way to get so of the child’s blood. Whether or not we trust Ye Qing, we should have our own test. Whether it turns out in our favor or not, at least we’ll know."
"What’s the point of a test, I feel Hua Hua is absolutely our Li Liang’s child, our grandson. I say, we shouldn’t waste ti, next ti we see Ye Qing, let’s just take the child back. If she refuses, we’ll go straight to her in-laws. I can’t believe they’d want to raise soone else’s grandchild."
Li Liang’s dad thought that approach was too hasty, it needed to be more reliable with solid evidence, so when the ti ca to speak with her in-laws, they’d have a case. Otherwise, they’d just be seen as lunatics and get kicked out.
