Ai Xiaoxia transmigrated to the early 1990s, becoming a newlywed bride returning home.
Unexpectedly, her maiden home was a wolf's den, actually forcing her to extort money from her husban...
Chapter 314 So shameless?
At this time, Zheng Qing came in with a basin. She had just gone to wash clothes. When she saw Lin Xiaoxia and the others coming, she quickly greeted them.
After everyone sat down, Lin Rui told them that Lin Xiao's wife's grandfather had passed away, so Lin Jianye and the others couldn't come over for the next two days.
Wen Guowang said, "Ji Zu is fine now. You can all go back and get busy this afternoon. I'm sure there's a lot going on at home. Just come and see me whenever you're free. Qingzi and I are enough here."
Lin Rui said, "Well, seeing that Step-Uncle has recovered well, we are relieved. Looking at his condition now, it will be enough for Aunt and the caregiver to stay with him next week. My Third Uncle and my cousin are in the provincial capital anyway, so we can just call them if we have any problems. Grandpa Wen can also stay home for a few days. Otherwise, he would be worried about the family if he was away for such a long time. Step-Uncle's serious injury has passed the critical period, so he will be fine after that. We just need to take care of him."
Because there is really no need to waste time here, Lin Rui's point is also based on experience.
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Okay, then I'll keep a room in the hotel. Auntie can go there to rest and take a shower at any time. It's also convenient."
Zheng Qing said, "No, I'm fine living here. There's a bathhouse across from the hospital, so it's convenient for taking a shower. I can also do laundry in the hospital. I don't have to keep a room open all the time, which is expensive."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Keep it. It's not much money. When Grandpa Wen comes over, he might bring the child to see him. Or if anyone from the family comes to visit Step-Uncle, there'll be a place to stay. It's convenient."
Wen Jizu's two children are both in school. He didn't want them to see him before because he was worried that his injuries were serious and would look scary, which would scare the children. But now he is stable, and the children can come to see him on weekends. However, Lin Xiaoxia and the others can't interfere too much in these matters. They just need to book a hotel for them and make it convenient for them.
As they were talking, a young couple arrived at the door. The woman peeked inside and saw Zheng Qing. She shouted, "Sister, sister, we're here to see my brother-in-law."
Zheng Qing looked up and saw that it was her brother and sister-in-law. She frowned and hurried over: "Why are you here?"
Zheng Qing's sister-in-law said, "How could we not come for such a big event? We have to come and see our brother-in-law, right?" As she spoke, she looked into the room.
Zheng Qing's younger brother is rather thin. When he sees a lot of people, his face turns red and he lowers his head and dares not look at anyone.
Wen Guowang scratched his head and walked over with an embarrassed expression: "Quanzi and Erfeng are here, you are so thoughtful."
Zheng Quan called Wen Guowang "Uncle" and stopped talking.
However, Zheng Qing's sister-in-law Yang Erfeng was particularly talkative: "They should be here, they should be here. These people in this room must be your family's new relatives. You can tell at a glance that they are all wealthy people, and they all look different."
Lin Xiaoxia really didn't like Zheng Qing, her sister-in-law. When she came to see the patient, she only put five or six small apples in a net bag. This was a bit of a scam. She didn't have to ask them to bring expensive things. Even if they brought something homemade, it would be fine. She was swinging these small apples around, and there was really no sincerity at all. Moreover, her eyes were unstable and she looked everywhere. She didn't look like she came to see a patient at all.
Zheng Qing said to Yang Erfeng, "Erfeng, stop talking nonsense. Well, I'll take you outside to talk."
Yang Erfeng had already squeezed into the house: "I won't go out. We are here to see my brother-in-law. Shouldn't we go to the hospital? Besides, there are so many relatives here. We have to get to know them. It's rare for us to see so many prestigious people."
Zheng Qing was extremely anxious, but she couldn't stop Yang Erfeng. She was so angry that sweat broke out on her forehead. This sister-in-law was really giving her a headache. She just couldn't get enough of taking advantage of her. She wanted to pull off a leg if a mosquito flew over. She was usually so stingy that it was hard for anyone to have a bite of porridge in her family. Now she spent money on the car fare to come here. It was certain that she had heard from her eldest brother that they had a wealthy relative here. She was really afraid that this sister-in-law would do something again and embarrass her husband.
Wen Jizu was so anxious that he almost got out of bed: "Um, Qingzi, take them out for dinner."
To be honest, Wen Jizu was also anxious. He knew his brother-in-law's wife. She was extremely greedy. He married her because of his brother-in-law's character problems. If they were at home, he could say something unpleasant or simply refuse to let her go. But now, in front of these guests, how could he say something unpleasant directly?
Lin Xiaoxia was beside Wen Jizu and quickly supported him: "Uncle Jizu, don't worry."
At this time, Yang Erfeng had already reached the side of Wen Jizu's bedside table. She looked at the supplements and reached out to take them: "What kind of high-end stuff are these? I have never seen them before. My brother-in-law can't eat so much. It will be a waste if they go bad after a long time. How about I take some back?" As she said that, she took out a woven bag from her pocket and was about to put the things in.
Wen Jizu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Stop." But his hand was injured and still bandaged, and he was sweating from anxiety.
Lin Xiaoxia was right beside her, so she quickly reached out and held Yang Erfeng's hand: "We just brought this for our step-uncle. He hasn't eaten it yet. You can't take it."
Yang Erfeng let go of her hand, not feeling embarrassed at all, and looked at Lin Xiaoxia: "This girl is really pretty and well-dressed. Your family is rich, right? You can tell from the looks of it that you bought all this?"
Lin Xiaoxia frowned and looked at Yang Erfeng: "We bought it, what does it have to do with you?"
Yang Erfeng didn't feel embarrassed and continued, "Look, you bought this for my brother-in-law, so it belongs to my sister's family. There's so much, they can't finish it, so I take some away. We're all family, so what's the big deal? Don't you think so?"
Lin Xiaoxia was so angry that she wanted to laugh. This girl's logic was a bit weird.
She said to Yang Erfeng, "Your sister has her own family. If you want something from their family, don't you have to get their consent first?"
Yang Erfeng smacked her lips and said, "Look at this girl, she's pretty and can talk, isn't it just to get something?"
Lin Xiaoxia smiled. "You just said you should take some of what they can't finish. How do you know it's what they can't finish? And if they can't finish it, do they have other uses for it? Why should they give it to you?"
"There are so many things, and they only have one patient. They definitely can't finish them all. If the patient can't finish them, can we give them to others?" Yang Erfeng still felt that she was quite reasonable.
"You also know that a patient's things are not suitable to be given to others, so why do you still want them?" Lin Xiaoxia asked.
Yang Erfeng originally thought that Lin Xiaoxia and the others were rich, and they would feel embarrassed to refuse her request in front of so many people, but she never expected that this girl would not give in at all.
She was anxious, and with a red face, she asked Lin Xiaoxia, "Are you a relative of the Wen family? Why don't you give me face at all?"
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Do you have face?"
When Yang Erfeng saw that Lin Xiaoxia was angry, she became afraid again. She just wanted to take advantage of others and climb up the social ladder, so she couldn't offend powerful people.
She quickly put on a smile again: "I'm embarrassed. I'm just a country woman, I'm sure I don't have much experience. Don't bother with me. It's not easy for us to meet people of status like you, please don't be angry."
