When Jiang Qiao came in, she saw Zhou Yaru arguing with the other person and noticed what the other person was holding.

Jiang Qiao paused for a moment, then said as if nothing had happened, "Mom, Grandma, please accept it. It's just a kind gesture. I'll repay this favor later."

Wen Jingwan looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise. What was wrong with her daughter today? The child shouldn't be short of money, so why was she asking her to accept it at this time?

Zhou Yaru is even more so. Her daughter and her family are not short of money, so why should they accept other people's money? Why not use the favor they have saved for something else?

Jiang Qiao looked at Miao Jinhua and her daughter-in-law with a smile, "It's too much, I don't want it. Since you two are sincere in giving, just follow our local custom. The most we can give is twenty yuan as a favor."

Jiang Qiao took four bills from their hands. "These are enough, so you don't need to feel any burden. One reason we saved the child is that we are destined to meet, and another is that it was just a coincidence that we met."

"It's a life at stake; we can't let it go unsung. Anyone else would have done the same. Alright, you've seen my brother; let's go to the hospital."

Jiang Qiao left with her men, and Wen Jingwan looked at her mother, not knowing what to say.

The old lady, on the other hand, kept nagging on and on.

"Why is Qiao'er like this? We're short of money, why does she insist on taking it?"

Wen Songtao gave a wry smile. "You old woman, what do you know? Do you really think the child is short of money? That girl probably saw through it too."

They just don't want to owe anyone a favor. What do you think? If you think that way, can't they be a little more cunning?

"The girl handled the money well; it was just the right amount, not too much, not too little. It puts the Jiang family at ease. The girl has her own reasons for it."

Wen Jingwan looked at her father and said, "Ah, you can do it this way. After all, it's not appropriate for us to take their money. Even though we saved their child, we're not after that."

Gu Zhengfeng smiled and touched his son's little face and hands. "You, just focus on your postpartum recovery. Don't worry about anything else. The child has his own ideas."

Anyway, I don't expect anything from anyone. I have a daughter; whatever my thoughts are, I still have my daughter.

Wen Songtao patted his son-in-law on the back of the head. "Look at you, so pathetic. Having a daughter is all you need. You, as a father, can't be too bad. You have to support the three of them. Girl, you get tired too. You, as her father, need to be her pillar of support. Go to work now—"

Wen Songtao felt conflicted. He knew why Jiang Qiao did this, but he shared the same thought as his wife. Of course, he also admired his granddaughter's magnanimity.

"Sigh, people shouldn't be too greedy. We really should learn from this little girl."

Wen Jingwan was a little confused. "Dad, what are you talking about? Forty yuan is not a small amount."

Zhou Yaru gave a wry smile and pointed at her daughter, saying, "You child, your father and I have raised you too well. You don't know anything about human relationships anymore. But sometimes fools are lucky. You found a good man and a good daughter. You probably won't have to think about so many things in the future."

Let me tell you, the Jiang family is clearly a powerful family. They can ride in a car. Think about it, we saved their grandson. No matter what, that's a huge favor, right? If our family needs anything, they'll naturally help us.

It's a pity that they didn't want to owe us a favor, and the girl just went along with it and accepted the small amount of money. This amount of money is quite a lot for an ordinary family, but don't you think about it? Do we have any financial difficulties with them?

So, there's a lot to learn here. Qiao'er accepted it to put their minds at ease, as the favor had already been repaid. She didn't ask for more because she felt a child's life couldn't be measured in money. Besides, you're practically comrades now, so how much is too much?"

Wen Jingwan looked at her father in surprise. Seeing the old man nod, she pursed her lips and said, "There's such a big deal involved here. No wonder my Qiao'er would accept such money."

"Oh well, we never expected anything from anyone anyway, things are pretty good as they are now."

Wen Jingwan is a good person, she's easygoing and doesn't have many hidden agendas. Once she's said something, she means it and doesn't dwell on it anymore. The old lady is different. She chatted with the old man for a while, feeling that her daughter's mind was unlike anyone else's.

What Wen Songtao didn't say was that the child's mind wasn't like his; it was more like his old woman's. But he dared not say that to his old woman.

"Alright, let's not get involved in the baby's affairs. We should go back home after our daughter finishes her postpartum confinement. I'm really worried about what's going on back home."

Zhou Yaru was dumbfounded. "You really want to go back? It's fine here, it's so safe. Why go back? Our son and grandson don't need us to take care of them. How about we consider buying a house nearby and just stay here with our daughter?"

The old lady used to dislike hanging around other people's sons-in-law. She had her own son, so why should she have to put up with other people's attitudes?

But after observing him for a while, I realized this son-in-law is really great. He treats me like his own son, always smiling and never interfering in family matters. As long as his wife and children are happy, he never interferes. His daughter is even more so; she never asks about anything they do.

The old man sighed, "Even if you want to, it's not possible for now. We have to take care of things at home. Don't forget, Song Yuzhu hasn't been caught yet. I'm so worried. When we get back, we have to be able to support the children. Listen to me, you won't go wrong."

The old man had important matters to arrange when he got home, but he hadn't told his wife this, for fear that she might let slip the secret. Luckily, he did so, otherwise, that enemy agent Song Yuzhu might have been able to get information out of the old woman, which would have been a serious matter. So, the old man was secretly relieved.

Jiang Qiao was unaware of the lawsuit at home. She took her people to the military hospital and saw Song Shutian at the entrance. He had arrived earlier than them, and it seemed he had been waiting for her.

Before Jiang Qiao could even speak, Jiang Weiguo greeted Song Shutian first, "Comrade Shutian, right?"

Song Shutian came over and shook hands with Jiang Weiguo. "Our director told me to wait here. I've arranged everything. Give the child a thorough check-up. If there are no problems, you can take the child back. If the child hasn't recovered, you can take the child back after the child is better."

Fang Ming held Jiang Qiao's hand tightly. The little guy was a little scared and scratched Jiang Qiao's palm with his little finger.

Jiang Qiao understood the little guy's actions. "Don't be afraid. We're just checking you out to see if we can find the substance that poisoned you. If we can, the adults will try to cure your throat. Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

After a whole morning of fussing and turning, it turned out that, just as Jiang Qiao had said, the little guy really did have some kind of unknown toxin in his body. They couldn't figure out what it was or how to treat it yet. His throat was also burning, but that wasn't the main reason he couldn't speak. The doctor also thought it might be a problem with the medicine he was taking.

As for the others, apart from weakness and malnutrition, Fang Ming's other problems were not a big deal.
