"Mmm," Sister Liu readily agreed.

Old Guan chuckled and said, "Hey, have you had any troubles these past few days? If so, just tell me and I'll help you out."

"No, it's fine. I'll wait for you tomorrow morning." Sister Liu didn't want these messy things to affect Old Man Guan's mood. She was leaving tomorrow. She had blocked Cao Jun. If she wanted to contact her, she would go through the official channels. As long as she knew that Cao Jun was still alive, that would be enough.

Sister Liu tidied her hair, wrapped it up again, made some breakfast, ate it, and then went out.

Cao Jun took a taxi directly to the hospital yesterday, where he fell unconscious and was immediately admitted to the hospital.

Liang Lijun was so busy that she didn't sleep all night. She couldn't even take care of Liang Guangming, and now Cao Jun is hospitalized. She's not an octopus, so how is she going to take care of him?

Liang Lijun frantically called Sister Liu, but Sister Liu's phone was always busy. She tried calling from a different number, but Sister Liu still wouldn't answer.

When Cao Jun woke up, he saw Liang Lijun angrily throw her phone onto the hospital bed. "What's wrong, wife?"

Liang Lijun sat down on the edge of the hospital bed, fuming. "What's wrong with your mother? She blocked both of our phone numbers. What were you doing all day yesterday?"

Cao Jun felt dizzy, weak all over, and his stomach was empty. "Wife, buy me something to eat first, I'm starving."

"At a time like this, you're still thinking about food. You should contact your mother and ask her to come over. We spent six hundred on a caregiver last night. Even if we were rich, we couldn't afford that," Liang Lijun muttered, reluctantly going to buy food.

Cao Jun picked up the phone. He couldn't get through to Sister Liu yesterday, and he tried again today, but still couldn't get through. He didn't know how to contact the neighbors in the courtyard, and even if he did, they wouldn't talk to him given their attitude yesterday. Now he really had no way to contact Sister Liu.

A short while later, Liang Lijun returned with breakfast. "How did it go? Did you get in touch with them?"

Cao Jun shook his head. "Let me catch my breath. I'll go over there again this afternoon."

Liang Lijun: "What did your mom say yesterday? Did she think we were using her and she was putting on airs?"

"No, she just can't quite accept what you said yesterday. My mom has been alone for so many years, she's a bit sensitive," Cao Jun lied, not mentioning that he hadn't even gone into the house.

"Your mother is so dramatic. Let's go downstairs together." Liang Lijun didn't want to spend any more money tonight, so she insisted on having the old lady come over today.

Cao Jun quickly stopped him, saying, "I can go by myself, you don't need to go."

Liang Lijun glanced at Cao Jun and said, "I'm not going there to argue. I only care about the money. If it weren't for this, your mother would be the most suitable. I would never set foot in her house again in my life, and I would never see her again, even if I die."

Cao Jun: "That's the right way to think. Don't be like my mom, who doesn't care about anything else but money. Go over this afternoon and say something nice to her, apologize. Only then can Mom accept your dad calmly and truly help us. We can't afford to lose a piece of our flesh by saying a few more or less words."

Liang Lijun reluctantly nodded in agreement. She didn't want to divide the family property with her brother, so she could only appease her pretentious mother-in-law for now.

"I'll go buy your mom a couple of outfits. If she looks nice, my dad's impression of her will be better."

"Thank you, you've worked so hard for our family," Cao Jun quickly flattered.

"You know that much," Liang Lijun said, turning and walking away.

Cao Jun was very pleased; his wife was still quite sensible.
