Aunt Wu went to the hospital to pay the fee, learned about Qiao Zuwang's condition, and hurried to Qingshui Lane.
According to the doctor, Qiao Zuwang had a severe fever. Fortunately, he was discovered in time. If it had been half a day later, his brain would have been burned out.
Seeing that Qiao Zuwang was seriously ill, Aunt Wu felt that it was necessary to talk to Yicheng.
After all, they are father and son, and blood is thicker than water. Even if they usually have a bad relationship, it is still necessary to tell them when it comes to this kind of thing.
"Yicheng, come out with me for a moment."
Arriving at Qingshui Lane, Aunt Wu successfully met Li Jie, but she was cautious and did not tell him in front of the other children. Instead, she waved and called Li Jie outside the house.
Following the other party to the door, Li Jie looked surprised.
"Aunt Wu, what are you doing?"
Aunt Wu sighed and said bluntly: "Yi Cheng, your dad is sick and is currently hospitalized in Gulou Hospital."
"Sick?"
"Yes, I guess he drank too much last night and fell drunk on the table. Then he caught a cold. When he was sent to the hospital, he had a severe fever."
Aunt Wu told Li Jie the doctor's speculation in detail, adding some extra details along the way.
Sometimes, when she saw Qiao Zuwang alone, she felt pitiful. Other families were bustling with excitement during the New Year, but the Qiao family had no life at all.
Although she knew that all this was done by Qiao Zuwang himself, people's hearts are full of flesh and there will always be times when they can't control their emotions.
The reason why Aunt Wu added fuel and jealousy to make Qiao Zuwang even worse was because she hoped to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between father and son.
However, Li Jie did not mean this. Although he saw through Aunt Wu's thoughts, he chose to pretend to be confused.
"Aunt Wu, can I ask you a favor?"
"you say."
Li Jie took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed them all into her hand without counting them.
"You should take the money first, and any amount of medical expenses will be deducted from it. Please help him hire a nurse to take care of the remaining money."
"Forehead……"
Aunt Wu lowered her head and glanced at the money in her hand. She saw that the large amount was all in unity. She scanned it roughly and found that there were at least a dozen pieces.
And this money was just "10%" that I took out of my trouser pocket casually.
You can easily take out more than 100 yuan, how rich is the wealth of "10%"?
Aunt Wu couldn't think about it anymore. The last time she saw so much money was when the factory gave her a pension.
After being stunned for a while, Aunt Wu came to her senses, and then she immediately pushed the money back.
"This is too much, we can't use this much."
Li Jie took a step back and avoided Aunt Wu's movement of stuffing money.
"If there is any left, you might as well buy him some nutritional supplements."
Although Qiao Zuwang is a bastard and hateful, he is not guilty enough to die. Li Jie will still take care of his life and death.
Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem for Li Jie.
Just give him some money and he'll do it, but he doesn't want to go, lest he see Qiao Zuwang's face and feel frustrated.
"Oh well."
Aunt Wu had fought with Li Jie so many times, and she also knew what kind of temper Li Jie was. Once the other party had made a decision, he would not change it easily.
For example, the child always promised her not to buy anything again, but almost every time, the child still came to the door with something.
No matter what she said, it was of no use.
As time passed, she became too lazy to say anything.
Since it's useless to say it, why bother saying it?
On the way back, Aunt Wu's mood was a little low, but Yi Cheng's heart was still as hard as ever.
She still remembered that when Yicheng's mother died, Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei all cried, but Yicheng didn't cry.
However, if you really calculate it carefully, you can't blame Yi Cheng for not going to the hospital because of his hard heart.
Who makes Qiao Zuwang such a bastard? Not only did he fail to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, but he also basically failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
If Qiao Zuwang had been more considerate and family-oriented, Shufen might not have left so early.
If Shufen doesn't leave, the Qiao family will not be separated.
Aunt Wu couldn't help but feel sore when she thought of Shufen. The two of them had a very good relationship and got along very well.
'Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Zuwang, you are really nothing!'
'Shufen is such a good person, why did he follow you?'
…
…
…
The illness came like a mountain, and went away like a thread. When Qiao Zuwang woke up, it was already two days later.
Qiao Zuwang was lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling above his head. This serious illness made him understand many things.
If Sister Wu hadn't discovered it in time, he might have been lying in the morgue now.
After all, he can be considered a person who has experienced life and death.
During the two days when he was lying on the hospital bed, it was Sister Wu who took care of him.
At first, when he learned about this from the nurse, he was moved to tears.
Can he not be moved?
Sister Wu, who was not related to him, not only paid his medical bills, but also came to the hospital to see him every day.
At a certain moment, he almost had the idea of 'how about living together with Sister Wu in the future'.
But when the two met, he realized that everything was a misunderstanding.
Sister Wu was willing to take care of him not because of his charm, but because of the money given by 'Qiao Yicheng'.
The medical expenses, nursing expenses, and food expenses for his hospitalization were all paid at "10%".
After learning this result, Qiao Zuwang felt a mixture of sadness and joy for a moment.
Xide is a 'Yicheng' who still has a conscience and doesn't care about his life or death.
The sad thing is, you gave me money and you clearly still care about me, but why don't you come over and see me?
While lying in bed, Qiao Zuwang thought about it many times.
Finally, he came to a conclusion that was difficult for him to accept.
The root cause of all this is him, not 'Yizheng'.
If only he would have cared more about Shufen when she was pregnant, he would have been more considerate, and he would have taken more care of the family.
This home would not be what it is now.
If he had been better to his children after 'Shufen' passed away, maybe the children would not run away from home.
Woo...woo...woo...
As he thought about it, Qiao Zuwang's shoulders twitched unconsciously, and tears fell down his cheeks drop by drop on the white pillowcase.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, not many people were hospitalized, and only a minimum number of doctors and nurses were left on duty.
The hospital is very quiet, the corridors are quiet, and the wards are also quiet.
At this time, the only sound echoing in the ward was Qiao Zuwang's sobs.
Aunt Wu stood outside the door, quietly listening to the crying in the ward. She didn't know why Qiao Zuwang was crying, but she knew that Qiao Zuwang must be very sad now.
Otherwise, this cry would not be so sad.
After a while, the crying in the ward gradually stopped, and Aunt Wu knocked on the door.
Men all have to save face, and she has to save some face for Brother Qiao.
