Dongzi knew this too. The boy sat in the corridor, his whole body exuding fear and unease.

Fortunately, Hou Diankui has been with him these past two days; otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do.

The boy had to take care of his younger siblings, and his grandmother also needed constant care. With the help of Hou Diankui and the others, his younger siblings would no longer go hungry for the time being, and the three of them could receive treatment. The boy was grateful from the bottom of his heart, but he rarely said it aloud; he kept it all in his heart.

"Grandpa Hou, will my grandma be alright?"

Hou Diankui patted Dongzi on the shoulder. When he saw the child, it was as if he saw his own son from back then. When his wife was sick, was the child also so helpless?

He shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The father-son relationship was already like that. As long as the child was alright, why think so much?

Judging from Hou Diankui's eyes, Jiang Qiao could roughly guess what the old man was thinking.

"Master, please sit here with Dongzi for a while. I'm going to check on the twins."

Hou Diankui nodded. "Go ahead, wear a mask. You're not well, don't let yourself get infected."

The twins are recovering well. With her medication, the two children are in good condition. If it weren't for the old lady's hospitalization, they could have been discharged. However, considering that there is no one at home to take care of the children, and Jiang Qiao doesn't have time, the two will have to stay here for observation for the time being, which is more convenient to take care of anyway.

Upon seeing Jiang Qiao enter, the two siblings vaguely remembered the aunt who had treated their illness.

Actually, if Jiang Qiao were to reveal her true face, she would at most be considered an older sister. However, in this situation, she is disguised, and her appearance makes her look much older than her actual age. In any case, the two children can only call her "Auntie."

"Auntie, where's Grandma? Is she alright?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and sat down beside the siblings' bed, holding their little hands and saying, "Your grandma is in surgery, but there shouldn't be any problems. We should trust the doctor and stay here obediently. If anything happens, just ask the nurse."

Jiang Qiao took the opportunity to check the pulses of the two people. There was no problem. She then took out the snacks she had brought for the children from her bag.

"This is a reward from your aunt. You two stay here and eat well. I'm going to check on your grandma."

Jiang Qiao stuffed a piece of candied fruit into the mouths of each of the two children, patted their little heads, and then got up and went out.

"Brother, Auntie is so nice, she bought us delicious food."

The brother and sister were not ignorant children. Ever since their parents' accident, apart from the fact that their older brother's friends treated them well, they could tell from the way others looked at them the coldness and warmth of the world.

It should be said that Jiang Qiao and Hou Diankui's actions warmed the hearts of the two little ones. They are not ignorant children; the changes in their families have made them grow up overnight. Children know best who is good to them.

"Eat up, and when Grandma gets better, we'll go home together."

The older brother reached out and touched his younger sister's head, then sighed.

Grandma Dongzi came out of surgery. Half of her stomach was removed. The doctor had already told them that the surgery was successful, but there were still many follow-up problems because the disease has a very high chance of recurrence. Chemotherapy was recommended.

However, Hou Diankui and Dongzi both remembered what Jiang Qiao had said before: to give up on further treatment and wait for the incision to heal before being discharged from the hospital.

The doctor couldn't say much more about the patient's family's choice, but gave some instructions on things to be aware of.

Seeing that everyone was alright, Jiang Qiao went back first; she needed to go back and prepare the medicine. Hou Diankui stayed at the hospital to keep her company.

Jiang Qiao went back and had just finished preparing everything when Liu Zhanyu rushed over.

"What happened to you? Did you get chased by a rabbit?"

Liu Zhanyu waved his hand. "Don't mention it. Is there anything to eat? Hurry up and get me some food. Also, you're coming to the hospital with me in a little while."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiao asked as she served the food.

Liu Zhanyu sighed, "Didn't you ask us to investigate Dongzi's father's situation before? We had no idea what we found out. We'll talk about it later; I need to eat first, I'm starving!"

Given Liu Zhanyu's current situation, Jiang Qiao didn't press him further. After having dinner with Liu Zhanyu, the two finally had a chance to talk properly.

"Dongzi's father was indeed wronged, and the woman who wronged him is the one with the problem."

Jiang Qiao pressed on urgently, "What exactly is the problem?"

Liu Zhanyu sighed. "Initially, it was Dongzi's father, Liu Xinmin, who noticed something was wrong. That woman was the leader of the telegraph team. Liu Xinmin had checked and found that sometimes the number of telegraphs sent did not match the actual number; there were more. So, he questioned this woman about this issue."

The other party denied it, and he had also reported the issue to his superiors.

Unfortunately, the leadership did not take this matter seriously.

Later, one day, after the woman got off work, she dawdled again, saying that she hadn't finished her work during the day. Who knew that when Liu Xinmin went over, something happened between the two of them. The woman insisted that Liu Xinmin had tried to take advantage of her, but the comrades who hadn't left yet caught them.

We only learned about these things indirectly; we'll have to wait until Liu Xinmin wakes up to know the specifics.

"Where is that woman? Where is she?"

"He's been secretly arrested. The crucial thing is that Liu Xinmin is dying and has been sent to the hospital. Jiang Qiao, you need to go there to handle this."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "Okay, let's go now."

With her belongings in hand, Jiang Qiao got into Liu Zhanyu's car, and the two headed straight for the hospital. Coincidentally, the hospital where Liu Xinmin was staying was the same hospital where Dongzi's family lived.

Even Liu Zhanyu thought it was too much of a coincidence. "I just randomly sent him to a hospital, and I never expected that these guys would run into each other."

"Hurry, he's on the third floor, and our people are guarding him."

When Jiang Qiao and Liu Zhanyu arrived, they saw a man with disheveled hair and bandages wrapped around his head. Only his face was visible; the rest of his body was covered by a blanket, so she couldn't see anything.

Liu Zhanyu has already called his attending physician, who briefly explained Liu Zhanyu's condition: he has a head injury and is currently in a coma; his leg is also broken, and it is in very serious condition, already ulcerated; the physician's suggestion is to amputate it directly.

However, considering Liu Xinmin's situation, Liu Zhanyu did not agree, and so he brought Jiang Qiao over instead.

"Okay, you can go out first. Let's discuss it. If amputation is really necessary, we will notify you immediately."

When only the three of them were left in the room, Jiang Qiao started checking, her face extremely gloomy.
