The money needs to be obtained as soon as possible; my second aunt can't wait. We also need to see my third aunt quickly to understand her condition. We need at least five thousand yuan, if not six thousand, for the two surgeries. We don't have enough money on hand!

No matter what you have to do, the first thing is to eat well and rest well.

Song Yan returned to her father's hospital room, ate a meal, and then pulled her mother to lie down on the hospital bed to rest.

We want to thank the comrades from the Women's Federation, the Double Support Office, and the Public Security Bureau. They accompanied our family throughout our journey to the hospital, which made the hospital take our situation very seriously. They arranged a four-bed ward just for our family and even prepared our luggage…

After a good night's sleep, Song Yan felt completely relaxed.

Although Song's father's illness wasn't serious, Song Yan wasn't very familiar with this type of surgical procedure. She wanted to consult a doctor about precautions.

Song's father's condition was roughly as Song Yan had estimated; with active treatment, the likelihood of complications was low. But what did the doctor mean by his evasiveness?

"My father's illness still requires the doctor's help. If there's anything we can do, I'll try my best to do it." Song Yan felt it was better to ask directly; beating around the bush was too troublesome.

"When your father was brought in, his pleural cavity was full of blood and air, which was affecting his breathing, so we completed the hospitalization procedures for him..."

"Oh no! We didn't pay, did we?" Song Yan slapped his forehead, wondering how he could have made such a basic mistake.

The doctors and nurses were probably trying to curry favor with the Women's Federation, the Double Support Office, and the Public Security Bureau; otherwise, they would have already asked for payment.

"I'm so sorry, the situation was just too urgent at the time. We couldn't take care of our whole family. Do you think I should go pay the fees directly, or take the hospital admission slip to pay?" Song Yan's attitude was very kind; he truly felt he should repay the favor he had received.

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard about her family's situation today and thought it would be difficult to collect payment, since they really didn't have any money.

"Just go to the payment window and say your dad's name to pay. Don't feel embarrassed, it was a special situation at the time." The doctor was happy that there would be no dispute over the payment.

Song Yan not only paid her father's hospital deposit, but also rushed to the outpatient clinic to pay for her and her mother's expenses for the day, including the money her mother owed.

The doctors and nurses at the outpatient clinic all breathed a sigh of relief. Given her family's situation today, could they just stand by and do nothing? They had been worried about the cost of the medication.

When Song Yan left, everyone praised him. You think the Song family of three were both good and pitiful.

After a morning of commotion, everyone knows everything now.

The Song family's neighbors, factory workers, and even the factory hospital staff were all talking about Song Yan's family today. Public opinion overwhelmingly praised the hardships they had endured.

Of course, Song Yan doesn't know this yet.

Song Ma's cold hasn't gotten better yet, so Song Yan should go home to get the toiletries...

In Song Ma's room, all she could do was cook porridge; nothing else was possible. She lit the stove and started brewing the medicine. Then Song Yan went to the main room to cook.

"You're happy now that you've sent your grandma in? How dare you come back?" As soon as the door to the main room opened, Song Huaqing's spittle flew out.

“My grandma? She called me a bastard today, so don’t ever mention to me that she’s my grandma again. Also, you said I sent her in? Come on, let’s go to the neighborhood committee right now and ask if I sent her in.” Song Yan grabbed Song Huaqing by the collar and dragged him out of the house.

In just one day, apart from Song Yan and his family of three, all the other members of the Song family were gossiped about behind their backs.

In the past, insulting Song Yan was always effective, forcing her parents to obey. Who knew they could be so reckless? The old lady didn't even restrain herself in public, and the result was…

The blame was still being placed on his mother, and Song Huaqing only lost his "advanced" title. If it happened again, Song Huaqing would be in serious trouble.

The eldest aunt grabbed Song Yan, not wanting her to leave, saying, "We're all family, let's talk inside. Your uncle doesn't mean any harm, he's just upset. Don't be like him."

If Song Yan wanted to grab Song Huaqing, no one could stop him; in the blink of an eye, they dragged him to the front door.

"Song Cheng, Song Cheng!" Auntie couldn't hold onto Song Yan, so she hurriedly called out to her son.

Song Cheng slammed the door shut from the inside. "Go back inside!"

Song Cheng was trying to take advantage of his physical strength to bully Song Yan.

A bunch of stupid and wicked fools. Song Yan was carrying Uncle Song like a little chick, and they didn't even notice anything amiss. Who gave Song Cheng the courage to stop himself?

However, ever since the old man said that she lacked stamina, Song Yan felt that she should hide her strength and not easily reveal her skills.

After letting go of Song Huaqing, Song Yan turned and went into the house, while she went out with a kitchen knife in her hand.

With a "whoosh," the cleaver was thrown from Song Yan's hand, startling Song Cheng into dodging to the side. The cleaver slammed into the door with a "clang."

Song Yan stepped forward and unlatched the door, leaving it wide open. "Are you going to get out, or am I going to drag you out?"

"Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, your uncle doesn't know how to speak properly. It really wasn't your fault today; you were also wronged!" Aunt rushed out to smooth things over. "Song Cheng, how could you talk to Xiaoyan like that? Come over and apologize to Xiaoyan."

Song Cheng knew it couldn't be his father apologizing, so he forced himself to say "I'm sorry."

Song Yan snorted dismissively and went into the main room to cook.

When Song Yan entered the house, he clearly saw his aunt breathe a sigh of relief. Did they think everything was alright?

Song Yan already thought it was despicable that they were hiding behind Old Lady Song and profiting from Song's parents. Judging from their current attitude, did they feel even a shred of guilt or remorse? No.

Old Mrs. Song won't dare to cause trouble for now. Do you think they'd be willing to give up the advantage they could have gained? Once things calm down today, won't they just start stirring up trouble for Old Mrs. Song behind her back?

We still need to find an opportunity to deal with them all at once, so that Mr. and Mrs. Song can have more security.
