Chapter 68 09.30/Fiancee Child Psychology.

The next day was Saturday, and Chu Song came to the hospital early in the morning.

Chu Jiangshan has heart problems and has not taken care of his health for a long time. He has serious problems with diet and rest. He also has high blood lipids and high blood viscosity, so he basically has to be hospitalized for observation for a week every two months.

The year Chu Song graduated, he happened to need heart surgery. He used the money Chu Song paid him back as the surgery fee, which covered most of the cost.

Long-term hospitalization and medication in the future will also require money, but Chu Jiangshan is a retired soldier, the medical reimbursement rate is already high, and he can get various subsidies, so he doesn't have to spend much money at all.

So every time Zhang Yan called her to ask for money, she hated it very much.

Chu Jiangshan lives in the Fifth People's Hospital in North City, very close to where the three of them live, but Chu Song hasn't been there for a long time.

Not just the hospital, but this home as well.

Since her mother passed away, she has been living with her grandparents. Later, she was taken back to high school. She only lived in this house for a longer time during the winter and summer vacations. Most of the other time she lived in the school dormitory.

Occasionally, when she came back on weekends, Chu Jiangshan was busy with work and was not at home. It was just her, Zhang Yan, and the newborn brother staring at each other.

When Chu Jiangshan was around, Zhang Yan maintained a calm exterior. When Chu Jiangshan was not around, Zhang Yan ignored her existence most of the time.

I would go home on weekends and give her 100 yuan to top up her meal card. Occasionally, when the school needed to pay money, I would give her an extra 100 yuan, and that was all.

During her three years of high school, she never experienced parents waiting outside the school after a week of hard study, nor hot meals when she returned home.

So she always felt that there was nothing wrong with the school not having holidays. It was equally cold whether at home or at school. At least she could still study at school.

There was traffic jam everywhere on weekends. Chu Song took the subway and changed trains twice before getting off at the subway station near the hospital.

She knew which room Chu Jiangshan lived in.

Before Chu Jiangshan called her last night, he first sent her a message, telling her his room number and asking her to come and see him. Later, when he saw that she didn't reply, he called her again.

Chu Song followed the address on his phone to the floor where Chu Jiangshan lived. As he stepped out of the elevator, he bumped into someone running towards him.

The boy was wearing a white sweatshirt and was half a head taller than her. She staggered and hit her back against the wall of the corridor.

"I'm sorry..." The boy's voice had just finished changing, and his voice was slightly hoarse. He had just said two words when he reacted, "Sister."

Chu Song also leaned against the wall, stood up straight and looked up.

She was not familiar with Chu Xiangwei. She was nine years older than him. When she was in high school, he was still a little kid in the second or third grade. Later, she went to college and lived in the campus dormitory, so she rarely went home.

After she graduated and moved out, the brother and sister rarely saw each other a few times a year.

I used to have the impression that they were about the same height, but now how come he is suddenly half a head taller than her?

Chu Song frowned slightly and glanced at the bag in his right hand: "Where are you going?"

Chu Xiangwei had just started his first year of high school. After the military training, his hair had grown longer, and it was quite long. When he ran over, his hair was messed up by the wind.

"My dad wasn't satisfied with the medicine the doctor prescribed and insisted I go downstairs to change it. He said this medicine was two yuan more expensive per box than the previous one and that the doctor was ripping him off."

Chu Song was no longer surprised by Chu Jiangshan's remarks. He was not short of money, but he was always so petty and narrow-minded, as if the whole world was trying to cheat him out of the three walnuts and two dates in his wallet.

After Chu Xiangwei finished speaking, he looked at her. The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, felt awkward standing there like that.

Chu Song glanced at the two plastic bags in his right hand and had no time to pay attention to him: "You go, Dad is in the ward?"

"right."

Chu Song didn't respond. He was anxious to get back the 500,000 yuan that Fan Tingnian had given him. He looked around, found the sign on the wall of the corridor, confirmed the direction, and walked towards Chu Jiangshan's ward.

The ward is easy to find, it's at the east end of the corridor.

Chu Jiangshan has never treated himself badly. Within his ability, he always gives himself the best food, clothing and other expenses. He is the typical person who makes others suffer while making himself happy.

This ward was also the one furthest to the east, with the best lighting. Chu Song knew without having to think that it must have been Chu Jiangshan who had gone to great lengths to persuade the hospital to choose one for him when he came here.

Before Chu Song reached the ward door, he heard a quarrel inside.

Strictly speaking, it can't be considered a quarrel, it's just that both of them were in a bad mood, and they were talking back and forth, and the pressure on each other was very annoying to listen to.

"I've been telling you that your daughter is no good. Look, she hasn't come yet. You're sick and you don't need money, right? I went to her workplace and asked her to come see you, but she had the security guard kick me out. It's really outrageous."

Chu Song had heard such words more than once and was now immune to them.

I was still young when I was in high school. Every time I heard Zhang Yan and Chu Jiangshan quarreling and saying bad things about themselves, I would feel uncomfortable and would secretly hide in the quilt and cry. I would wonder if I really didn’t do well enough.

Not anymore, now they just think it’s their own problem.

"Okay, stop talking. What's the point of talking now?"

"I can't tell you if it's useless? Just protect her."

"Which eye of yours saw me protecting her? She wanted to ask me to return the money but I didn't tell her. I'm her father, shouldn't she support me?"

Zhang Yan was unhappy: "Chu Jiangshan, I can see that you are not a good person. You raise a child just to take care of you in your old age. You will definitely treat Xiao Wei the same way in the future..."

Chu Jiangshan interrupted her: "Nonsense, my children won't support me in my old age!"

Chu Song couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he knocked on the door twice symbolically and pushed it open.

The quarrel was interrupted by the opening of the door and stopped abruptly. Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the side of the bed, turned around and saw Chu Song. She stood up from the bed uncomfortably, with an undisguised irritation on her face.

There are two beds in this ward, one of which is empty except for Chu Jiangshan.

Chu Song closed the door behind him and took a few steps inside.

"You still remember to come here..."

Chu Song pulled a chair from the wall, sat down on it, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to ask for money."

"You!" Chu Jiangshan probably didn't expect that she really came here just to ask for money. More than a meter away, he raised his hand as if to hit her, "Do you think I've lived too long?"

Zhang Yan rarely showed her emotions on her face. She rolled her eyes subtly. "Xiao Song, you're not doing this right. You're supposed to respect your parents. Now that you have a boyfriend, you should also respect your parents, right?"

Zhang Yan: "It's not nice that you've made such a clear distinction with your parents. How can you give money and then ask for it back..."

"Didn't I give you money?" Chu Song looked over and interrupted her.

Chu Song suddenly felt a little sad. She worked so hard outside during college to earn money to pay back her debts, just to avoid being harassed in the future and not having her dignity trampled underfoot by others just because they were her elders.

She looked at Zhang Yan, feeling extremely tired. She felt that they were two people who could not reason with each other. "Isn't the hundreds of thousands of yuan I gave you after graduation money?"

"I've been working part-time in college and even outside during the Lunar New Year. Have you ever asked me about it? Now what I gave you doesn't count. Don't you think you're being too much?"

"How do you talk to your mother?" Chu Jiangshan frowned.

Chu Song was completely disappointed and didn't want to talk any more nonsense.

She pulled out the recording from her phone, and the phone made a buzzing sound. The audio was not very clear because it was very old, but she could still make out what was being said and what was being done.

That was her first year of high school. Her family thought she stole money, so Chu Jiangshan slapped her. Zhang Yan was also angry and made the sound of smashing a cup, and there was also the sound of Chu Jiangshan pushing over the table.

Chu Jiangshan was always angry and harsh in his words. He cursed and humiliated others in his voice, and his words were extremely unpleasant.

Chu Song only discovered this the next day. The computer recording was turned on at the time, and this audio clip was recorded. She saved it casually.

Chu Jiangshan frowned: "What are you doing?!"

Chu Song took the phone, not wanting to show him any mercy: "If you are shameless, then I am shameless too. I will take this audio and say that you have abused me before."

The military attaches great importance to personal conduct issues when demobilizing. If Chu Song really makes trouble, even if it is not investigated and proven to be true, many of Chu Jiangshan’s demobilization benefits will definitely be stopped and he will be investigated.

"Also," Chu Song opened another recording, "You've overreported every time you applied for expenses over the past few years, right? And after you changed careers and started a company, you've also used your previous resources and conveniences. If I report you..."

“What are you doing!”

"I didn't mean to do anything," Chu Song turned off the recording, lowered his voice, and looked at the extremely disappointed father. "I said, I came here today just to get my money back."

"Then you are my boyfriend..."

Chu Song couldn't stand it any longer: "He gave it to you, so you want it? You thought he taught me not to take things from home casually when I stole the money. What's wrong? Now you take other people's money casually, do you think you are right?"

"I'll say this one last time. Give us back the money, and I won't tell anyone about your dirty deeds. We won't have anything to do with each other anymore."

Ten minutes later, Chu Song came out of the ward with the 300,000 yuan that Zhang Yan had transferred back to her on her phone.

Zhang Yan did not want all of the money back. She said she had spent some of it. She did not want to verify whether it was true or not, and did not want to have anything to do with the couple.

I came here today to tell them that I want my money back and to draw a clear line with them. We will not have any further contact in the future.

Chu Song met Chu Xiangwei again when he went out. He came back from downstairs to get the medicine. The brother and sister passed each other at the door of the ward, and Chu Xiangwei pushed the door open and went in.

She heard Chu Jiangshan still shouting unwillingly, asking Chu Xiangwei to come out and call her back.

Chu Xiangwei seemed to put something on the table, then said unsatisfiedly, "I'll go."

Finally, Chu Jiangshan annoyed him and the boy said, "You haven't raised her, why do you always call her over?"

Chu Song came out of the hospital and went to find Wen Yao.

Wen Yao called her last night and asked her to have dinner with him today.

The two met at a Western restaurant at noon and had a "beautiful meal" with exquisite food, delicious taste and a pleasant mood.

The grilled shrimps are the signature dish of this restaurant, but the portion is too small, with only four shrimps in one serving. Wen Yao felt a little hungry, so when she was almost finished, she ordered another serving.

After leaving the restaurant, the two went to the bookstore.

Wen Yao wanted to buy a book for her niece, and she told Chu Song about it when they had dinner together yesterday.

"So we won't contact each other anymore?" Wen Yao stood on tiptoe and looked from the top layer to the bottom. She held up her mobile phone in her right hand, and the name of the picture book her little niece wanted was written in the memo.

"That's about right. We've fallen out this time. I said I'd block them all. If they come looking for me at my place, I'll move. I'll go back once every two months to visit Chu Jiangshan. Other than that, don't contact them anymore."

“Will they listen?”

"I think so," Chu Song nodded. "My dad is a man who values ​​his reputation among his friends and in front of the people in the army."

"I'm finally free. I should have cut off ties with them earlier," said Wen Yao.

Chu Song watched her pull the picture book out of the shelf, his tone slightly lowered: "Yeah."

"By the way, what about your family member?"

"What?"

Wen Yao lowered her eyes and gestured to her phone: "Three hundred thousand for your family member."

Chu Song was confused for a moment and replied, "Give it back to him."

In the hospital that morning, she understood what Zhang Yan meant during the quarrel. It seemed that Fan Tingnian had placed security guards near the art gallery to prevent her from harassing her again.

Wen Yao counted the books in her hand. Her niece had made a list of seven books, but she had only found three.

She looked up at Chu Song and said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look. I think two of the books should still be in the area we just looked at."

Chu Song's gaze suddenly fell on something. After a moment, she turned her gaze back and said, "...You go first. I'll take a look. I have something I want to buy."

Wen Yao looked around, a little puzzled: "This is all for children's books, what do you want to buy?"

Chu Song's gaze drifted back to the spot he had just been at: "Hmm... Let me take a look. You go up first."

Wen Yao looked at her again and saw that she was obviously not paying attention when talking to her. She intuitively felt that the things she bought might be related to Fan Tingnian.

"Okay, I'll go up first, and you can come up to me later."

Chu Song nodded: "Okay."

After Wen Yao left, Chu Song walked back to where he had just been, stood in front of the bookshelf for a while, and took out two books from it.

The cover features photos of several famous teachers, with the title of the book in the upper middle - "Child Psychology"

She flipped through them briefly, then stood on tiptoe and pulled out a few more books from the shelf and flipped through them.

Twenty minutes later, Wen Yao came down from upstairs and a clerk helped her find the last four books.

"Chu Song, let's go. I'm done looking."

When Chu Song heard the sound, he quickly closed the books he had just read, stacked them together, and tucked them under his right arm.

Wen Yao didn't even come close, so she glanced at the book she was holding and asked, "You want to buy a book too?"

“Hmm…” Chu Song prevaricated, “Just buy a few books and study.”
