"No, Grandma said we couldn’t make a call. We just had to go directly to the regiment to find him,"
Turns out, Lei Jiasheng didn’t even know his mother and son had come to the provincial city to find him!
If they hadn’t run into them, what had the grandmother and grandson planned to do? However, Chiang Xiao felt that if it hadn’t been for a major incident at home, one that was indeed urgent and couldn’t be delayed, Aunt Shi wouldn’t have done something so unreliable.
But this was someone else’s family matter, and it wasn’t her place to interfere.
Luckily, Hu Xibing happened to know Lei Jiasheng, so everything would be fine once they found him.
Seeing Little Tiger in such discomfort, she stood up, found a hot water kettle, then stepped into a corner and entered the Space, mixing in some Ganoderma water.
She also asked the nurse for two cups and went back to feed Little Tiger half a cup of water.
Only after Little Tiger had some water did Aunt Shi regain consciousness.
Upon opening her eyes, still dazed and unaware of where she was, she immediately started looking for Little Tiger, "Little Tiger!"
"Grandma, I’m here. If you turn your head, you can see me," Little Tiger already had a bit more energy.
Aunt Shi turned her head and saw Little Tiger sitting on another bed, with the beautiful young lady they had met on the train last night sitting beside his bed.
"Girl, you..." She recognized the place. It must be a hospital.
"Aunt Shi, this is the People’s Hospital in the provincial city. We’ve arrived at the provincial city. You and Little Tiger were both running a high fever earlier. Brother Hu and I had no choice but to carry you to the hospital," Chiang Xiao explained.
Aunt Shi’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. She couldn’t help but struggle to get down from the bed to bow to Chiang Xiao, but she was so weak that she couldn’t get up.
"Auntie, please lie down," Chiang Xiao said, startled, and quickly helped her to lie back down.
Aunt Shi held her hand tightly, tears streaming down her face, choking back sobs and unable to speak. She had been holding back her misery for so long, watching Little Tiger but never daring to cry in front of him, afraid that it would make him even more upset.
Holding it in was almost suffocating her.
Now, with this young lady offering a helping hand, Lord knows what would have happened to them or if they would have died out there.
Aunt Shi couldn’t hold back any longer.
At her tears, Little Tiger couldn’t help but burst into crying as well.
The ward was filled with weeping.
The doctor who came over upon hearing the commotion, uh, happened to be the same one from before, stood at the doorway and immediately frowned, glaring at Chiang Xiao as he began to scold her.
"I’ve told you, young lady, don’t you listen? What’s the matter with you? Your grandmother and brother just woke up, and you’ve made them cry again, haven’t you? Do you act this way at home too? Where’s your brother? Your father? Your mother? How did they raise you? Call them here! I just can’t believe it. There’s no such logic in this world!"
"Doctor..." Chiang Xiao felt utterly helpless.
Was this doctor too caught up in drama? How could he be so convinced that she was a bad kid, out to bully her own grandmother and brother?
Aunt Shi quickly waved her hands, realizing that Chiang Xiao was being misunderstood and attempted to explain to the doctor when Hu Xibing returned, carrying a bunch of stuff, and hurriedly told the doctor, "I just went to buy some food. I’ve just called their family, and we really aren’t their relatives!"
What’s with this, can’t they accept the truth? Why chew them out non-stop?
Scolding him is one thing but why keep harping on their little sister-in-law, a young lady?
The doctor looked at him doubtfully, "Really not?"
"Doctor, they truly aren’t my family. They are good people, we just met on the train, really good people," Aunt Shi felt extremely bad inside.
