"Forget it, give them a hand."
Er Dan had survived thanks to their support, and even followed them to the Capital City to learn a trade.
Master Gu really liked his adopted son Er Dan, who was very sensible and hardworking, and had also taught himself to read. Now he could recognize many characters.
With Master Gu joining in, the two of them had gradually found some connections.
"Youngest sister, why didn’t you visit Dad in the hospital? Have you, now that you’re married, disowned your own family?"
Wang Yuemei looked at her somewhat aggressive older sister, "I did go."
Wang Dongmei blinked, it took her a while to realize what Wang Yuemei had said.
Wang Yuemei was very calm, unlike before when she might have hoped for attention from her parents and siblings, but now she no longer needed it.
Because someone cherished and cared for her.
She no longer yearned for what she had never received.
"The day Dad had the accident, it was Mom who came to the factory to tell me. After work, Brother Xiao He and I went to see Dad, but we didn’t see you or Third Brother, did you guys not go?"
It was the first time Wang Dongmei had seen Wang Yuemei so composed, speaking as if devoid of any emotion.
It made Wang Dongmei feel as though her sister Yuemei had changed?
"I thought you hadn’t visited Dad," Wang Dongmei offered no apology.
Wang Yuemei seemed to have gotten used to her sister’s attitude.
"Sister, is there anything else? If not, I have to go to work."
Wang Dongmei couldn’t say much else and let Wang Yuemei leave for work.
How strange Wang Yuemei seemed.
Wang Dongmei had always known that she, being a girl, was less favored at home compared to her brothers, but she also knew to stay more privileged than her younger sister. Over the years, she kept Wang Yuemei out in the cold.
She never looked after her just because Yuemei was the younger sister.
Could marriage have changed her?
She couldn’t think of anything else for now.
"My sister came today, said Dad was in the hospital, and I wouldn’t visit him."
Zhao Tianhe was startled—was this blaming them?
"Didn’t you also contribute some medical expenses? We even took gifts when we visited, it’s just short of staying by the hospital bed."
Zhao Tianhe was growing increasingly disdainful of his aunt.
Always picking on his wife.
His wife had only just been calmed down by her sister-in-law, and now the aunt pulled this stunt, he really didn’t know what to say about them anymore.
Isn’t this shameless?
Wang Yuemei said with a smile, "I told them I went, but didn’t see them."
At her words, Zhao Tianhe instantly felt satisfied, "Wife, you’re right, Dad’s own sons couldn’t keep up with us, it’s also our fault for moving ahead. Next time, we need to slow down, follow closely behind Third Brother and them instead, and not get ahead of them."
We shouldn’t run ahead anymore.
"By the way, Xinxin’s Aunt is planning a celebration for her child’s tenth birthday, and they are inviting relatives and friends. We should go."
Wang Yuemei was aware of her sister-in-law’s aunt.
Her sister-in-law’s close to her aunt, and this relationship should be maintained frequently.
"Do we need to invite our sister-in-law?"
This made Zhao Tianhe slightly uneasy.
"Let’s ask sister-in-law. I think they’ll want to go back, considering Third Brother and sister-in-law really treat Xinxin like their own sister. When the Chen family was causing Xinxin trouble, Third Brother, me, and sister-in-law all went there. It was then I saw sister-in-law fighting—it was fierce, so much so that the Chen family women didn’t dare advance."
