Xie Lingzhi had no opinion either, considering the Tao Family was present. Even if she had thoughts, she wouldn’t voice them in front of the Tao Family. She didn’t want to lose face.
However, Ye Qing was feeling gloomy inside. After all the effort it took to coax Old Mrs. i into the hospital, the i Family was now planning to leave.
She had initially thought that since her second aunt was sick today, her second uncle would surely need to take care of her, leaving him unable to attend to this matter. Surely her father-in-law and mother-in-law would have to stay for the night.
Unexpectedly, it turned out this way. This result was unacceptable. She needed to quickly co up with another plan.
"Shuqing, you should go ho. You haven’t rested for so many days, and mom is worried. Head ho for a rest. Let Xiao Yi accompany you, that’s enough," Old Mrs. i insisted persistently.
i Shuqing directly refuted, "No need, it’s already decided. Brother, I need to go to the barracks later. Let sister-in-law watch over for now, I’ll be back tonight."
i Shuqing nodded, glanced at Ye Qing and i Langchi, and said, "You two can head back as well. It’s fine with just and your mom here."
With the Tao Family present, it was slightly awkward for Xiao Chi and Ye Qing to stay. For those of their generation, it didn’t seem appropriate. On top of that, he had plans for the afternoon, so letting Lingzhi stay here for the afternoon seed perfect.
After i Shuping finished speaking, i Shuqing greeted the other two families inside the room and promptly took Han Yi Lin Wan out. There was no chance given to Old Mrs. i.
In the middle bed inside the room was an old veteran of the barracks. He might not be as wealthy as the i Family and Tao Family, but he was a respected old army veteran, respected even in the corridors.
The Tao Family required no ntion. The relationship between i Shuqing and Tao Jiangfeng was also an unspoken understanding, despite the previous unhappiness, it hardly made a difference. Now that an elder at ho was ill, they naturally cared.
Old Mrs. Tao was feeling unwell, but she wasn’t deaf or blind. She heard Old Mrs. i’s earlier words clearly, secretly criticizing how lodramatic Old Mrs. i was.
She played favoritism to the extre, being kind to her grandson and son. Yet, for her grandson who had just returned, whose wife was heavily pregnant and whose daughter was barely a few years old, with just a few chairs around, she forced that family to serve her. It was simply too excessive.
She was now thankful that her granddaughter divorced her grandson. With such elders in the family, how could her granddaughter live well?
She heard that her illegitimate grandson’s wife was the granddaughter of the Lin Family from Z City. For Old Mrs. i to disregard even the Lin Family and still try to wear down their granddaughter, if the Lin Family knew, they wouldn’t tolerate it.
...
"Xiao Wan, Xiao Yi just took a break today, must be exhausted from the barracks, take him ho quickly for so rest."
"Godfather, the one who needs rest most is you. You haven’t rested from last night till now. Han Yi and I will take care here."
"I don’t need you to look after . I’ll be fine just staying up for two days with so IV drips. After finishing my drip in the morning, I’ll be fine in the afternoon. I’ll rest on the hospital bed for an afternoon, no need for you to stay here. Just head ho," what Liang Qian said made sense. She didn’t have any serious condition, lying on the bed unable to move. Her hospitalization was deliberately staged for the old lady to see.
"I think so too, you should go ho. No worries about your godmother, and besides, I have to handle sothing at the barracks and will be back soon. There’s no need to worry about , I slept most of last night while watching over, so I’m not tired now. Please, listen to and your godmother, just hurry back ho. There are a lot of germs in the hospital, Xiao Wan and Xingxing shouldn’t get sick."
Han Yi didn’t delay, leaving the hospital with Lin Wan and heading ho.
...
"Old man, did you get it?"
"Got it, I got it, a small bump on the head, and a few drops of blood."
"Ah, how could you bump the child’s head? Is it serious? I told you to prick the child’s finger and draw a few drops of blood." Li Liang’s mother was worried upon hearing that Mr. Li Liang had bumped the child’s head.
"No, he was playing with a few kids and accidentally tripped, bumping onto his head. Fortunately, I was there; otherwise, it could have been worse. If he were really my grandson, I would have been heartbroken."
"How is he now? How could Sister Wu let the child play alone?" Li Liang’s mother started to bla Aunt Wu.
"It’s fine, just mischievous children playing together outside. Accidents happen. Actually, this accident helps us out. The child has already been taken back by the courtyard people, probably to the hospital now."
"Alright then, so we’re heading to the hospital now?" Li Liang’s mom asked while looking at the small tube in her husband’s hand.
"Yes, now. I can’t wait to find out." Mr. Li Liang rarely showed excitent.
Li Liang’s mom quickly packed up, grabbed so money, and the couple excitedly left the house. But as they reached the courtyard entrance, Mr. Li Liang suddenly stopped smiling and halted.
Li Liang’s mom, seeing him stop, was puzzled, "What’s wrong?"
"I think it’s better to head back to our hotown to do this. We know people in S City, but the i Family has considerable influence here. If we recklessly find a hospital here to do this and run into soone familiar with the i Family, that would be trouble."
"No... it couldn’t be that coincidental." Li Liang’s mom hesitated.
"What if? It’s the ’what if’ that concerns . To be safe, we should go back." Mr. Li Liang thought it over and confird.
"But we’ve finally got the blood, if we go back and forth, what if we lose the child?" Li Liang’s mom was eager, since they had been in the Capital City for such a long ti, just missing this one step.
