"Not yet. The whole family is still over there." With so many people around every day, there’s so much bacteria; it’s no wonder if they get infected.
"Go on, have a look. Otherwise, they might gossip about you again later. The old lady has grown quite temperantal with age. She’s not only talkative, but sleeps little too. She insists on chatting with at night, giving no ti to rest. And that’s not all; she’s the first to wake up in the morning, and she’s just as chatty. During the day, she grabs anyone she sees and talks non-stop. If you ask , we should never have let them stay together in the first place. Just look at her now, talking endlessly day and night — how can the old man rest well? If you ask , the old man’s infection has sothing to do with her mouth; she’s spreading quite a bit of bacteria."
Lin Wan chuckled, thinking her godmother’s words were sharper than she had expected.
"Go ahead. Your godfather is there too. Rember, if the old lady says sothing hurtful, don’t take it to heart; just treat it as nonsense. You’re pregnant now; you can’t let a few words from her affect your health."
"Got it, godmother. Han Yi and I will go take a look, and we’ll co back to keep you company later."
"You don’t need to stay with . I have just one more bottle to finish, and then I’m done."
"Auntie, if you’re tired, go ahead and rest. We’ll go out and give the nurse so instructions to keep an eye on the IV."
"No need. There are other patients in the ward; if there’s anything, they can help out." She’s not in a private ward this ti, having caught a cold unexpectedly. The private room was long gone, and she was assigned a bed in a shared room. The person in the next bed is quite sick, on an IV, and sleeping constantly.
Han Yi gave so directions and took Lin Wan and Little Star to the door of Old Mr. i’s ward, where Old Mrs. i was pulling i Langchi and his wife aside, talking about their shortcomings.
"Those raised by your side and those outside aren’t the sa, are they? Just look, your grandfather and I have been sick for so many days, and they only ca over on the first night. We haven’t seen them since, let alone having them care for us. Just look at your grandfather now, in this condition. We’ve notified them multiple tis, but they’re indifferent. None of them compares to you, Xiao Chi. In the future, neither your grandfather nor I will rely on them; we’ll depend entirely on you."
"Grandma, rest assured. Your grandson will not be like them." i Langchi knows how to comfort and how to speak.
Ye Qing stood by with a faint smile, not saying much. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to talk, but she simply couldn’t. She’d been sick for days, on an IV for three of them, and her cold still hadn’t cleared up.
Her voice was hoarse, and whatever she might say sounded grim and unpleasant. She was just hanging around Old Mr. i and Old Mrs. i.
She spent the majority of the day there, heading ho at noon, seizing the mont when no one was around to secretly find the key to Old Mr. i’s study cabinet.
Moreover, she’d devised a plan. Now, with Old Mr. i and Old Mrs. i hospitalized and no one at ho, everything could be handled more appropriately.
"Mom. Can’t you stop ranting for a bit? Dad has just fallen asleep, so take a break. And it’s wrong to keep talking indirectly — whether it’s about Xiao Yi or Junzi, neither should be blad. Junzi is far away in Z City, caught up in winter competitions, and is busy with work, completely unaware of what’s happening at ho. You insisted on calling him, and once he found out, he barely managed to get a few days off after reporting to his superiors. He’s already en route, and as for Xiao Yi, he ca here already carrying tasks. Is he supposed to take leave at will? That day, you called him back as if sothing major had happened, but what did he find? Just a ss of senseless chaos. Today, you and Dad are in this ss because of your own doing.
These days you’ve been fussy about this and that, rejecting the caretakers we hired and insisting we stick with you. Haven’t we, your children, fulfilled your wishes by staying with you? My brother and I have strong physiques and can manage the sleepless nights, but Xiao Qian can’t keep enduring this. Now you’ve made her sick."
"Second child, you care for your wife and son, but now you bla your own mother? You ungrateful child! How can you be so heartless? Are you implying your mother shouldn’t be sick? Shouldn’t have your wife take care of ? Is this how a son should behave? You, a soldier, put the values taught by the army to waste, treating your parents like this. Is this what you should do as a son?"
