According to our usual practice, the family would set off on New Year's Eve, but this year they went back two days earlier.

Because Han's father received news that his sister-in-law, Liu Xuemei, who is Han Shigang's wife, was hospitalized.

Although they weren't particularly close relatives, they still had to visit her since she was hospitalized. Han Shigang hesitated on the phone and didn't reveal the cause of her illness, which startled Han Shiping and Guo Mingli. Their sister-in-law was over sixty years old, a high-risk period for various diseases. They were worried that she might have some incurable illness.

The family rushed to the hospital and were relieved to see that Liu Xuemei was in a regular ward and had no strange tubes inserted into her body.

Liu Xuemei's face was a little pale. She had always looked malnourished, thin and small. If she were a young girl, one could say that she was delicate and pitiful. But she was old and looked like this. To put it bluntly, she didn't look like someone who would live a long life. People would keep their distance from her on the street.

Now, lying on the snow-white hospital bed with a deathly pale face, he didn't look well at all. Han Shigang was by his bedside, but he didn't see Han Yunlong and his wife. Han Shigang said that the couple had gone out to buy fruit.

Tang Xiaoxiao noticed that Liu Xuemei's expression clearly showed disgust when Han Shigang mentioned Han Yunlong and his wife.

Her disgust couldn't possibly be directed at her son, Han Yunlong, so... it could only be her daughter-in-law.

The thought of this family now living under one roof in a house of less than 70 square meters, and Han Yunlong's wife being practically bought off... made her wonder how chaotic their lives would be.

I wonder if Liu Xuemei's hospitalization this time is also related to that couple.

Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi were the younger generation. Han Shiping and his wife were chatting with Han Shigang and his wife, so there was nothing for them to do. In addition, the twins were still young, and it was not good for children to stay in a place like the hospital for a long time. So after sitting for a while, Han Yunqi got up to say goodbye, saying that he would send his wife and children back first and then come to visit his aunt.

Han Shigang and Liu Xuemei readily agreed, saying that there was no need to come over again, that it was nothing serious, and that they could be discharged after two days of rest.

The family of four left the ward first, but Han Shiping and his wife stayed a while longer.

Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi were each holding a child's hand when, just as they were about to reach the hospital entrance, Tang Xiaoxiao spotted two figures standing outside the window.

Isn't that Han Yunlong and his wife Tan Lanlan?

The hospital's first floor was bustling with people, including family members, patients, doctors, and nurses. Tang Xiaoxiao and her family of four were all wearing masks. As they approached, Han Yunlong and Tan Lanlan outside didn't notice them. They saw that the two seemed to be arguing. Han Yunqi had originally intended to go and say hello, but seeing the situation, he hesitated to go forward.

The couple didn't intentionally eavesdrop, but their sharp ears seemed to magically penetrate their ears...

Then Tan Lanlan said, "So, you're not going to take care of my dad anymore?"

Han Yunlong scratched his head in frustration. "Manage? How am I supposed to manage? My mom's still in the hospital!"

"Didn't the doctor say it's nothing serious and he can be discharged after a couple of days of rest? But my dad broke his leg and is waiting for surgery!"

"My mom was so angry she had a heart attack! The doctor said she can't take any more stress, didn't you hear? You want me to use this to upset her?" Han Yunlong suddenly looked up and glared at Tan Lanlan, his eyes somewhat fierce.
