Even those whose families hadn’t co, those who received their als late, had eaten and were now resting, but no one had brought her food.
Zhao i’s stomach was growling, “That damn girl, not even knowing to bring my al.”
“I should never have had her in the first place.”
She would never think it was Huang Xin’s fault for not having food delivered; she could only curse at Huang Man.
The others in the ward pursed their lips without a word, understanding that a biased person, no matter what you say to them, will never think they are in the wrong.
Although it couldn’t be discussed inside the ward, they had no such reservations outside and naturally brought up the topic while fetching water in the utility room.
Zhao i was admitted to the town hospital, the first choice for dical treatnt and hospitalization among the surrounding villages.
Just then, a woman from the sa village who had co to visit her maternal family heard soone ntion Zhao i’s na.
She rembered that Zhao i from her village was also hospitalized and wondered if it was the sa person.
Approaching, she inquired further.
Although the other party didn’t know exactly which village Zhao i was from, the clues about a husband killed in a car accident and three children, favoring the two younger twins, were enough to confirm they were talking about the Zhao i from her village.
And this person did not get along with Zhao i at all.
Their relationship had been decent at one point, but Zhao i had made a joke out of her family matters, which really angered her.
As a result, the discord between the two families had been festering, and now, knowing how biased Zhao i had been, to the extent that Huang Lina had left in a huff, this was juicy gossip to spread back ho.
After patiently gathering the events from the past few days, this person walked away satisfied.
She had made up her mind; as long as Zhao i was not discharged, she would co here every day for a stroll.
She couldn’t miss out on such drama.
Huang Man, busy making money, had no idea that soone was even thinking of clearing her na a bit.
Even though the initial motive had been a tad malicious, it did let everyone know the truth, didn’t it?
Zhao i, fuming with rage after cursing Huang Man for quite so ti, realized she was still just as hungry.
She had thought that the others in the ward, knowing that she hadn’t had lunch, her ungrateful daughter having not brought her al, would give her sothing to eat—they certainly had biscuits or sothing to stave off hunger.
But to her dismay, no matter how much she complained of hunger, not a single person was willing to give her a bite to eat.
This really infuriated Zhao i, “People have no sympathy these days.”
“You have money, you can go buy it yourself,” one of the patients said coolly.
“Plus, you have a broken leg and can’t walk.”
“You can go out and buy food; you were even generous enough to give your son a hundred yuan.”
“Didn’t your son take the money and promise to bring you lunch?” The other person certainly wasn’t about to offer her any food.
If they gave her sothing to eat, she might think it was right that they should, and perhaps even find fault with the quality of the food.
“Exactly,” soone else chid in, “you’re not poor, you can buy it yourself.”
This wasn’t just a one-ti thing—today was the son, tomorrow the younger daughter—judging by their deanor, whether they would bring als at all was in question.
But no one pitied her; she had brought this upon herself.
After being rebutted by several people, Zhao i was unhappy but powerless, and, huffing and puffing, got up to go out for food.
By this ti, lunchti was over, and few eateries were open outside.
Even if there was food for sale, it was either sothing Zhao i disliked or overpriced.
Zhao i, having circled around, could only helplessly purchase a few buns.
After taking a bite, she really wanted to curse.
They were truly no match for Huang Man’s buns.
Right, she was being foolish.
Even with such poor skills, they could open a shop here and it had been running for years.
If Huang Man were to do it, she would definitely make more money.
By then, whether it was for Little Xin and Li Na’s university education or their wedding leave, even buying a house for Huang Xin in the county town wouldn’t be a problem.
The more Zhao i thought about it, the more she felt it was a good idea.
She no longer protested that the buns were unpalatable, as this very fact could lead her to a profitable thod of making money.
Zhao i returned to the hospital feeling quite pleased with herself, a stark contrast to her previous angry departure.
Everyone didn’t understand why Zhao i, seemingly fine before, had suddenly got so food and was now in a much better mood.
They didn’t get why her mood improved so abruptly, but they had no intention of prying any further.
No matter how good Zhao i’s mood was, it couldn’t hide the fact that the buns were hard to swallow.
After struggling through one, she didn’t continue eating, thinking that even if no one brought her lunch, surely she wouldn’t be without soone bringing dinner.
Her thinking was sound, but sadly, the two filial children she constantly thought about were off enjoying themselves with wild abandon, hardly giving a thought to Zhao i.
As for Huang Man, she was, of course, eating at the Zhao Family’s ho.
Only after she was fully fed and watered did she get on the last bus ho.
When she arrived, unsurprisingly, she found the house without any lights on.
In an era when air conditioning wasn’t widespread, many people would cool off at their doorsteps.
They saw Huang Man, “Li Na, where are you coming back from?”
“My dad passed away, and even though we settled for money, Little Xin and they are in middle school and need education.
My mom also said that the money should be left for them to use.”
“I went to tutor.” She simply explained how she was able to find a tutoring job.
“Making money, are you?” Everyone was interested in this aspect, and as for Huang Zhiqiang’s compensation being left for Huang Xin and Huang Lina to use, they didn’t find it strange at all.
“If I work six hours a day, I get sixty, and there are two als included.” Huang Man downplayed the amount of money a little.
When everyone heard she could make sixty a day and even get two als, they said, “Not bad at all.”
“That’s why you get such opportunities when you have good grades.” Soone rembered Huang Xin’s grades, “You’re able to tutor others, why don’t you watch over your brother’s grades?”
It was true that the twins of mixed sex’s academic performances were lagging quite behind, and Huang Man could probably help a little.
“I can’t tutor them, even if I just urge them to study, they get unhappy, and so do my parents.”
Huang Man helplessly waved her hand, “Forget it, if they don’t want to study, let them be.”
“Alright, I’m planning to head back now.” The original owner wouldn’t discuss family matters outside, but why wouldn’t she do so now?
“Right, you’re going to make money, but what about your mom?” They were vaguely aware of the incident where Huang Man lost her temper at the hospital today.
“The family doesn’t just have one child.
Little Xin is the only son in the family, and it’s ti for him to step up.”
“And after I took care of my mom three days and three nights in the hospital, mom said I didn’t do a good job, she said my siblings were better.
Of course, I have to fulfill my mom’s wishes.”
“One person, one day.
Today and tomorrow are Little Xin’s turn.”
“I need to work hard to earn my living costs.” Huang Man said this while watching the neighbors’ expressions.
Noticing that they weren’t too surprised, so must have known about it already.
