Wang Yuemei shook her head, "No, it’s just a bit cold."
Zhao Tianhe, seeing she was cold, "Lean on me a bit."
They still had to go to the hospital. If it wasn’t for the hospital visit, they could have returned home by now.
The wind did feel somewhat chilly.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital and inquired about the ward entrance, without even going in, they could hear noisy voices coming from inside.
"Hold on." Wang Yuemei didn’t immediately enter; she even pulled Zhao Tianhe back, not letting him go in at that moment; sometimes she truly felt embarrassed.
Her parents made her feel somewhat awkward.
Zhao Tianhe looked at Wang Yuemei, saying nothing, yet the voices from inside reached their ears.
"Can we really expect the youngest sister and her husband to come up with the money?"
"Don’t worry, the youngest sister is soft-hearted."
"She’s married off, will she give it?"
"She will. Today, I went to see her, and she handed over all the money in her pocket to me."
The voices inside continued their conversation.
But Wang Yuemei’s heart felt cold.
Even with the preference for sons over daughters, but now that she’s married, they still plot ?
Is this really necessary?
Zhao Tianhe suddenly recalled, there weren’t few parents in their large unit.
They instill in their daughters the duty to take care of their natal family, saying that if the natal family is doing well, they can support her.
Little do they know that many nightmares are brought by the natal family itself.
Bringing things to the natal family, she gets scolded by her in-laws, beaten by her in-laws; there are many such cases.
Anyway, they stood at the door for a long while before the two carried their gifts and entered.
Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang saw them and their gaze also fell on the items Zhao Tianhe was carrying.
Zhao Tianhe was not afraid of offending them, nor did he rely on his in-laws.
As for the children, he had no plans to entrust them to the in-laws either. In the worst case, he would have his mother come to Capital City to help take care of the kids.
"Dad, I heard you were hospitalized, so I followed Yuemei to the hospital to see you right away. Didn’t my elder and second brothers come?"
Zhao Tianhe did it on purpose, and Capital City had really changed a lot. If it were before, he would have furiously kicked in the door as soon as he heard them scheming in the ward about his wife.
"Could it be that my elder and second brothers don’t know about Dad’s accident? It’s such a big thing, Mom, how come you didn’t inform my elder and second brothers? Now that you both can work and earn money, they are all unfilial. What will you really do when the day comes that you can’t move?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang turned slightly dark, but Zhao Tianhe acted as if he had not seen it.
"It can’t be that Yuemei has to go back to take care of you, right? Don’t you think? After all, raising sons is supposed to ensure care in old age. Now that they can’t be counted on, will they be reliable when you’re old?"
"We’ve also come to see Dad in the hospital. Looking at Dad’s condition, it seems not very serious. Yuemei and I are going to head back first since we still have classes tonight."
Without giving Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang an opportunity to speak, after saying his piece all at once, he took Wang Yuemei and left the ward.
This attitude made Mr. Wang particularly angry.
Another patient in the ward gave them a disdainful look.
That young man wasn’t wrong.
At least he didn’t come empty-handed but brought things with him.
"And I never expected Xiao Zhao to be this kind of person."
This son-in-law used to not seem like a good-for-nothing, right?
Why has he become such a person now?
"Pretending, that’s all. If he’s so capable, he shouldn’t even come through our door."
Then, thinking that since his incident, neither of his two sons had come to the hospital to see him, not even his eldest daughter.
