A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
At this time, the phone rang long before Mr. Yan dialed.
Seeing the caller ID, Old Lady Yan curled her lips and urged, "Hurry up and pick it up, old man."
Mr. Yan hummed and slid the screen.
"Dad, what disease is Mom suffering from? Which hospital are you in now? By the way, ask your brother to take a picture of the diagnosis and send it to me. Tell Mo Mo that if B City can't cure it, we can move to Mo City and she will find foreign experts for you. There is always a way." Yan Ming asked a series of questions as soon as the phone was connected.
"Cough" Old Man Yan coughed lightly and turned to look at his wife. He had been an honest man all his life. These excuses were originally made up by them to coax the eldest brother and his family to come over. It was impossible for them to make them up in a short time.
Old Lady Yan was also completely bewildered. When had her honest and simple eldest son become so shrewd? Impossible. It must have been that stinky woman from the Mu family or those two damned girls who had usurped the throne. She cursed them all in her heart.
After a long time without hearing a response, Yan Ming called out again, "Dad, are you listening?"
"Boss, this! I have to ask the doctor," after saying that, fearing that the secret would be exposed, Mr. Yan hung up the phone in a hurry.
Everyone in the Yan family looked at Old Lady Yan, wondering where to get the information.
"Why are you all looking at me? Are you trying to make me really sick?" Old Mrs. Yan took two steps back alertly and said nervously.
Liu Xiang's eyes lit up as she stared at Old Lady Yan and said, "Mom, it's just an illness, it's no big deal. It can save your grandson and you can enjoy a few days of happiness. It's really okay."
Old Lady Yan was incredulous: "You really want to make me sick." Then she turned to look at her husband: "Is this what you think?"
"My dear, just bear with it. Like you said, all this is for you to save your grandson. Don't we spend our whole lives to make our descendants live well?" Old Master Yan obviously agreed. He even gave up his granddaughter and just asked his wife to pretend to be sick, which he thought was child's play.
Old Mrs. Yan never expected that her husband would use his own words to stop her. If she disagreed, it would be like she refused to save her grandson. She felt a little regretful. She had not been sick for decades. If she suddenly fell ill at such an old age, would it really cost her life?
She was feeling uneasy, and looked at her family expectantly and said, "Can I pretend for a while? As long as I can keep the boss from worrying?"
"No." Liu Xiang and Yan Yang refused in unison.
If the eldest brother finds out something, it would mean cutting off all his son's escape routes, which the couple would never want to see. If they want to act, they have to act for real, and they can also ask the eldest brother for more money. This is a win-win deal for both parties, so they are naturally happy to see it happen.
Then they became worried again. How could such a healthy person become sick?
The couple looked at each other. Liu Xiang no longer hesitated and quickly walked to Old Lady Yan's side. She took her hand and said with a smile, "Mom, come with me."
Old Lady Yan was horrified, her heart beating like a drum. Her daughter-in-law's smile at that moment was like a creepy poppy in her eyes, making her feel cold all over. She trembled with fear and asked, "What do you want to do?"
She kept trying to pry open the hands that were holding her, but she was too old and weak to move her daughter-in-law at all. She watched herself being dragged away and could only look at her husband. However, Mr. Yan pretended not to see anything and turned his head away slightly.
Even the loan sharks who had been watching the fun and collecting debts couldn't help but gasp in amazement:
"To harm others will only harm yourself! You're still so clueless at such an old age, you deserve it."
The monkey man patted Yan Huode's cheek, who was under his feet: "Boy, see! You should thank your family members who have sacrificed for you, otherwise, hehe..."
In his life, he hated children who brought trouble to their family.
The Yan family members complained in their hearts: "You are the one who is putting on an act and forcing us to do this!"
Yan Huode nodded quickly in agreement, saying that he could thank anyone as long as they didn't chop off his fingers.
At this moment, the sound of buckets of water being poured out came from the bathroom. Everyone in the hall looked over and saw Liu Xiang pulling the old lady, who was already soaked, out.
In this cold winter season of December, in a short while, the old lady's face turned blue and her lips turned purple due to the cold, and her whole body was shivering.
Old Lady Yan reached out and grabbed Liu Xiang's arm. She shivered for a long time before she uttered a complete sentence: "Daughter-in-law, it's okay. Find me some clothes. I'm so cold."
Liu Xiang pulled away old lady Yan's hand and said coldly: "Mom, why would you get sick if you are not cold." She looked the old lady up and down, as if she felt that this was not enough to make her seriously ill. She turned her head to look at the stormy weather outside the window, and suddenly, she made a decision in her heart.
She immediately pulled her mother-in-law up again and dragged her out the door.
"Wife, what else do you want to do?" As a son, Yan Yang finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to block Liu Xiang's way.
Liu Xiang's eyebrows trembled, and she said as a matter of course: "Make sure everything is safe and let the old lady go out to freeze."
"Son, I feel bad. Please talk to your wife and ask her to help me!" Old Mrs. Yan pleaded pitifully.
Seeing his mother being treated like this, Yan Yang couldn't bear it after all: "Is it necessary to do this?"
"What do you think? The boss will definitely call again soon. We can't produce a hospital diagnosis right away, but we can send a video. That alone won't make it obvious to Mom. Now that we've started, we can't just pretend. Mom must look like she's not far from death. Only then will the boss not hesitate and fly over immediately."
After expressing his opinion, Liu Xiang stripped the old lady of her coat in front of Yan Yang, and in full view of everyone, he pushed the old lady out of the door with one palm.
"son…"
With a "bang", the door was closed, and Old Lady Yan's screams were blocked outside the door.
The monkey man looked at this scene and had to say that women are the most vicious. Even his own mother-in-law could do such a thing. They were really a vicious couple.
"Brother Yan, it will be there soon." After closing the door, Liu Xiang turned around and saw that everyone's eyes were on her. She quickly put on a smile and apologized to the monkey man.
"Hmph, don't keep us waiting." The monkey man snorted coldly.
at the same time.
The Yan family of Mocheng.
Yan Ming sat there anxiously, looking at the phone in his hand from time to time.
"Momo, why don't you buy the plane ticket first, otherwise, it will be too late later." Yan Ming ordered in a panic.
"Dad, don't worry. As long as grandma confirms, I will take you there even if there is no phone." The speaker was Si Ze.
Yan Huode was gambling, and it was he who had investigated the matter for Yan Mo at the time. Naturally, he also understood that Yan Mo's uncle's family was likely facing collapse.
However, the reason why he said nothing was that in his outlook on life, even if faced with a catastrophe, he would not use the health of the elderly in his family as an excuse.
"Okay." Yan Ming nodded and couldn't help but call again, but no one answered.
