46 Chapter 45, My Granddaughter-in-law

The nurse said in a bad temper, “We can’t change it. There are only the two of you in the hospital on New Year’s Eve. It’s more convenient to check the beds in the same ward!”

Shen Mei’s face was pale as she smiled coldly.

When did she be willing to be in the same ward as this family?

There was no other way. This was the condition of the county hospital.

The few of them could only stay in the same ward.

Fortunately, the sky lit up very quickly.

Ji Jianjun and his wife were truly a little embarrassed to be here. When they saw that Shen Mei was fine, they were worried about their child at home, they said to Ji Jianguo, “You stay here and watch over your wife. Your sister-in-law and I will go back and make some soup for your wife to nourish her body.”

Then, they looked at Li Xu and wanted to talk to her, but they did not know what to say.

In the end, they only said, “Yuanyuan’s mother, does your brother drink chicken soup? I’ll make more and bring it over.”

When Li Xu heard this, she politely forced a smile, “No need, you can just do what you need to do.”

Ji Jianjun and his wife had treated them well in the past, so Li Xu couldn’t put on a cold face.

Ji Jianjun and his wife also understood that the Li family didn’t like them. They couldn’t stand what Jianguo had done.

They immediately nodded and left.

“Dad, Little Sister, you guys stay here and watch him. I’m going to buy some breakfast. What do you guys want to eat?”Li Xu asked.

Li Zhiming waved his hand, “I’m not eating, I’ll eat at home later.”

The old man was just worried about money. Li Xu didn’t take his words to heart, she just looked at Li Miao.

Li Miao also knew that her second brother’s medical expenses this time were covered by her eldest sister. Her eldest sister took care of her child by herself and led a tight life. She immediately said, “Elder sister, I’m not hungry either.”

Li Xu was a little helpless. She could be considered to have saved up some money. Moreover, even if she didn’t have money, she couldn’t let her father and younger siblings starve.

“Then I’ll go and buy some random stuff. Let’s see what they sell outside.” Li Xu took her coat and walked out.

Li Yong lay on the bed and hurriedly said, “Where are my pants? Where did I put my pants? Little Sister, help me look for my pants. There’s money in the pocket of my pants...”

Li Miao found the pants under his feet, but Li Xu had already gone out.

On the first day of the New Year, there was no one selling food outside the hospital.

Even the small shop didn’t open. She walked around and came back.

“There’s no food outside. Dad, let’s go home and cook some food. Let Little Sister stay here first,” Li Xu said. “We can go home and see the children. I don’t know how the children are doing at home.”

Since they were going home anyway, Li Zhiming was naturally happy to save money.

Thus, Liu Zhiming and Li Xu went home, while Li Miao stayed to accompany Li Yong.

On the hospital bed, Shen Mei was also thinking about her child at home. She instructed Ji Jianguo, “Don’t watch over me anymore, go home and see how Ling Xue is doing, then bring her over.”

She wasn’t at ease letting Ling Xue stay at the Ji residence alone.

That old woman and Feng Yue weren’t easy to get along with.

Ji Jianguo tossed and turned the entire night, unwilling to move, “What can happen when the child is at home? When my Big Brother comes over later, he will definitely bring her over.”

Sure enough, he wouldn’t feel bad if it wasn’t his own child! Shen Mei pursed her pale lips as she thought of this.

That’s not right. With Ji Jianguo’s personality, he wouldn’t feel bad even if it was his own child. Which of the three children of the Ji family were close to him?

As she thought of this, Shen Mei couldn’t help but feel angry.

Just as she was about to scold him, she remembered that the Li family was still around and that she couldn’t let them laugh at her. She swallowed the words that were rushing to her throat.

Ji Yuanyuan did not sleep much the entire night. Ji Zi’ang was frightened and would occasionally hit her. Liu Guihua was so worried that she stayed up the whole night.

It was not until dawn that Ji Zi’ang fell into a deep sleep.

Liu Guihua finally let out a sigh of relief and went down to cook.

Ji Yuanyuan was also worried that she did not sleep the whole night. When she saw that Ji Zi’ang had fallen asleep, she let out a sigh of relief and immediately started fighting to open her eyes.

Ji Zixuan was sensible. Although he was also extremely sleepy, he still got off the heatable brick bed “Grandma, let me help you light the fire.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Liu Guihua felt sorry for him, “My Eldest Grandson is really sensible. Grandma doesn’t need you here, go and sleep for a while.”

Ji Zixuan shook his head and said in a very mature manner, “I can’t sleep, I’m worried about Second Uncle.”

At that time, he was close enough to see that Second Uncle’s buttocks were bleeding.

Liu Guihua sighed, “My daughter’s fortune lies in the latter half of her life. The children she raised are all so sensible.”

She did not force him and cooperated with Ji Zixuan. They quickly finished the breakfast.

Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan were still asleep. The two of them ate their breakfast first while the rest was heated in the pot.

Whether when the two children were awake or the people who had gone to the hospital were back, they could all have a hot meal.

Just as they were worried, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.

Liu Guihua was overjoyed and rushed out, “How’s Xiao Yong’s injury...”

It was only when she reached the door that she realized that the people who came in were not from her family at all.

It was a few strangers. Liu Guihua was a little hesitant, “You are...”

Ji Zixuan came out of the house at this moment. When he saw the people in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment before he called out, “Grandpa Qin, Uncle Qin, Auntie Cheng, Sister Qin...”

He paused for a moment before he greeted Qin Mucheng, “Mucheng!”

Qin Xiaomin could not help but laugh, “You should call me Auntie Qin from now on, we’re from different generations.”

...

Ji Zixuan looked at his grandmother and introduced, “Grandma, Mucheng is the child we saved that I told you about.”

Liu Guihua knew about the Qin family and knew that their family was not an ordinary family, they were from B city.

“Aiya, distinguished guests, please come in and take a seat...” Liu Guihua greeted them.

Qin Junshan however noticed that the Li family was a little deserted, “Where’s Yuanyuan? Why haven’t I seen my granddaughter-in-law?”

Qin Mu Cheng, who was standing next to him, heard this and tugged at Qin Junshan’s arm helplessly,”Grandpa...”

Qin Junshan chuckled, his expression mischievous.

Liu Guihua sighed, “She didn’t sleep last night, and is still asleep.”

Seeing the Qin family’s dumbfounded expression, Ji Zixuan explained, “My Second Uncle was blown in the butt by the double-bang firecracker last night. He’s in the hospital. My grandfather, my mother, and my aunt are all in the hospital. My Younger Brother and Sister were worried the whole night and just fell asleep.”

Qin Junshan heard this and immediately looked at his son and daughter-in-law, “The two of you should hurry to the hospital to take a look. Don’t forget to buy some supplements for the child’s Uncle on the way.”

Qin Haowen answered and was about to turn around to leave when the sound of a tractor came from outside the door.

Liu Guihua was delighted, “They’re back.”

...

The rumbling tractor caught Qin Mucheng’s interest. His eyes lit up and he kept looking outside.

Boys, no matter their age or status, were always interested in things like tractors and excavators.

Besides, Qin Mucheng lived in the city and had never seen such things.

Qin Haowen took his hand and led him out, “Let’s go out and take a look.”
