595: Chapter 596 Sister Like Mother 13_1 595: Chapter 596 Sister Like Mother 13_1 Huang Man stood at the doorway of the hospital room, overhearing Zhao i scheming to rely on consolation money instead of working.
She had it all planned out so perfectly, once she graduated from college, she would start to hand in her salary.
Everything nice seed to happen to her.
Turning away, Huang Man decided to let the mother and daughter continue their talk.
After all, it was their money they were spending.
When they ran out of cash and tried to find her, good luck to them if they could.
By then, she would have already gone abroad to study.
Even if Zhao i’s family knew which university she attended, what could they do?
Accustod to burning through cash without ever earning it, she wondered how they would kick up a fuss when the money in hand was gone.
Having taken a stroll outside, Huang Man returned with a few workbooks in hand to the hospital room.
Seeing Huang Man with books, Zhao i curled her lip, “You have the money to buy books but don’t think to buy sothing to eat.”
As if the food wasn’t bad enough without at, Zhao i was particularly unhappy.
“No choice, the workbooks I scrimped and saved for ended up being torn to pieces by your precious son and daughter, who seem to spend their money either on clothes, chasing celebrities, or playing video gas.”
“I didn’t even ask them to compensate , but used the tutoring money I had to buy myself so books.”
“After all, you’re not going to give any money.” Zhao i would treat her friends to als, but she would never spare a cent for Huang Man.
“Since I don’t eat or drink at ho, I, of course, don’t need to buy groceries.
You could give Huang Lina the money to shop for them.”
Huang Xin had money, but it all went to gaming.
As for Huang Lina, if she had cash, it would be spent on things she liked.
“I gave Huang Xin money.
Didn’t he buy groceries?” Zhao i sounded generous before, but she knew her funds were dwindling, without any more money coming in each month.
She couldn’t afford not to be frugal.
Once she got old and had no money, what would she do then?
And these past few days, she had indeed spent quite a bit.
She rembered bringing three thousand in cash to the hospital, one thousand handed over to the hospital, and then the two kids taking so bit by bit.
She had thought she hadn’t given out much, but after counting yesterday, she was shocked to find only a little over five hundred left.
This frantic revelation hit her hard.
She didn’t give any to Huang Man, and she herself had only spent a few tens, aning nearly 1400 had been spent on them.
They were all sweet talk when taking the money, promising to treat her well and buy her food.
But what had they bought?
Today, it was only Huang Man who ca to see her in the hospital.
Otherwise, she seriously doubted Huang Lina would even cook.
Tomorrow Huang Xin was supposed to visit her, and she didn’t know whether he’d bring her food or just ask for money and then disappear after getting it.
No, this could not go on.
Otherwise, her money would vanish even faster.
Zhao i didn’t have a serious illness; she was hospitalized just to force Huang Man to agree to work.
Now she realized that plan was utterly futile and staying in the hospital was just wasting money.
“Huang Man, go discharge ,” Zhao i hastily made a decision to leave the hospital.
During her hospital stay, she had been incredibly bored with no one to talk to, and moreover, she felt looked down upon.
This deeply irked Zhao i, who had always been popular in the village.
Yet in the hospital, she felt belittled.
“Give the money,” Huang Man stretched out her hand for Zhao i to pay, “or give it to Huang Lina, and we’ll check out together.”
She wasn’t about to spend her own money on this; the original Huang Man might begrudge paying even from her pocket, not willing to let the hospital profit off her.
But the current Huang Man didn’t mind how the money was spent, so long as it wasn’t hers.
She had no reservations about it.
“All you know is money,” Zhao i said, looking dissatisfiedly at Huang Man.
“You’re the one in the hospital with the money on hand, and you still expect , a student, to pay?”
“If you don’t pay, then just continue to stay here,” Huang Man said, picking up her book to read quietly, rather than insisting with Zhao i.
Zhao i, seeing her like this, could do what?
No matter how unhappy, she had no choice but to pull out five hundred, “That’s all there is.”
“Huang Lina should co with us; that way there’s proof.
If it’s over the limit, I definitely won’t have the money to cover it,”
Huang Man was about to check out with Huang Lina when she suddenly rembered sothing, “Oh right, did you notify the doctor that you’re ready to be discharged?”
Being discharged required the doctor’s approval, and it was only possible after getting a discharge form.
Huang Man didn’t think too much of this, “You’re asking ?
Who should I ask then?”
“Can’t you handle it?” Zhao i said irritably, “Honestly, I don’t know how I ended up with such a stupid daughter.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Man stuffed the money into Huang Lina’s hand, “Mom says I’m dumb, she says I’m stupid, but you’re smart, so you go handle the discharge paperwork.”
Her main principle was not to be aggrieved; in this family, truly, whoever felt aggrieved was at the bottom of the food chain.
She was now in a state of sheer willfulness.
Huang Lina hadn’t expected things to turn out like this; she nearly scread when she received the money.
If it wasn’t for her rembering not to get too excited—since Zhao i might take the money away if she did—she would have lost her composure.
“Mom, I’ll go find the doctor.” Suppressing her excitent, Huang Lina tried to keep her voice very calm.
No sooner had she finished speaking than she took off running, her speed so fast she could have joined the school’s track team.
Zhao i watched Huang Lina take off, “Hey, how can you just give the money to your sister?”
Really, she could already imagine that once Huang Lina got the money, she definitely wouldn’t go to the hospital to handle the discharge paperwork.
“You say I’m stupid, you say I’m dumb; I don’t even know how to go about getting discharged,” Huang Man countered.
“Aren’t you always saying Huang Xin and the others are smart?
Then let them do it.”
“Don’t worry; you ntioned that Huang Xin and Huang Lina are the filial children, they’re certainly looking forward to you being discharged early.”
Could Huang Man not think of sothing that Zhao i could?
Of course, she had thought of it too, but what did it have to do with her?
They were always praising each other and stepping on the original host.
Now, the pitiable her couldn’t help but push back.
“Mom, just take a rest, only then will you feel better.”
“You, go find the doctor,” Zhao i kept urging Huang Man to go to the hospital.
“You want to find soone, you go.
If you disturb Huang Lina doing her important business, it’ll again be my fault.”
“You’re perfectly capable, you can find the doctor yourself.” After saying that, Huang Man started reading and working on problems, not bothering to deal with Zhao i.
Zhao i was fuming, seething that even though she was the one who had given the money, she was expected to face the consequences.
She was indeed very angry.
Zhao i snorted ungraciously, aning to signal Huang Man to go find soone.
As for the constant huffing from soone, Huang Man acted as if she heard nothing, pretending it was just a sore throat.
As for the sour face, she had always seen that stretched face, so it felt normal to feel nothing.
Zhao i looked at Huang Man continuing to earnestly do her howork and felt extrely frustrated; she really wanted to slap her a few tis to vent for herself and her two children.
But then she thought how easily Huang Xin had solved issues for Huang Man; could she even deal with her?
The more Zhao i thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt; originally, with Huang Zhiqiang gone, she was the boss of the house, free to do as she pleased.
Yet, she was still ignored by Huang Man, and Zhao i suddenly burst into tears.
“Getting more practice is good; that way, when you go out to work, you don’t have to worry about being unable to cry.
When that ti cos, just rember why you’re crying, and that’ll do.”
“I believe you’ll be able to cry quickly and efficiently, your crying posture looked great a mont ago.”
Co on, let’s see who can disgust whom more.
To deal with people like this, you have to be even more obnoxious and brazen to suppress them.
