When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 286: Visiting the Sick (Page 1/2)
Huo Li pulled Huo Qinghuan to sit down and asked calmly, "Tell me, what happened? Why did Ling Fei go to the hospital?"
Huo Qinghuan first took off the schoolbag hanging on his body, gently placed it on the coffee table, and said, "Grandpa, my second sister-in-law fell in the shower, and my second brother just took her to the hospital."
Huo Li asked again, "How is your second sister-in-law? Did she lose the baby?"
"Grandpa, my cousin told my mom that my second sister-in-law got some bubbles in her eyes while washing her hair. She didn't notice the soap box at her feet and stepped on it, hitting her stomach hard against the wall."
"How is your second sister-in-law now? How are the two children in her belly?"
"My second sister-in-law hit her stomach, but she insisted on washing her hair, getting dressed, and asking my cousin to take her to the hospital. I happened to run into my second brother when I came downstairs, and he took her to the hospital."
Huo Li planned to go to the hospital to see how Ling Fei was doing. He told Huo Qingci, "Qingci, go call your Uncle Zhang over and ask him to open the door and take us to the hospital."
Huo Qingci went out to call his grandfather's personal driver. At this time, Lin Man came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish.
"Qinghuan, you're here. Haven't you had dinner yet?"
"Sister-in-law, my parents are in the hospital and there's no one at home to cook."
"What's wrong with Mom and Dad?" Lin Man asked.
Huo Yining, who was concentrating on licking the cream on the biscuits, said vaguely: "Mom, Second Aunt is in the hospital."
Huo Qinghuan rubbed Huo Yining's little head. This little guy, watching him eating snacks, unexpectedly listened to everything they said.
Lin Man put the dishes back on the table. Seeing that Huo Qingci was not there, she asked Huo Qinghuan, "Why is your second sister-in-law in the hospital? By the way, Qinghuan, where is your eldest brother?"
Before Huo Qinghuan could answer, Huo Li started to explain, "I asked him to ask Lao Zhang to come over and drive. Ling Fei hit her stomach, and I don't know how she is now. I plan to go to the hospital after dinner."
Lin Man thought that since Ling Fei was in the hospital, she must go and take a look. Such a big thing had happened, and if she, as a sister-in-law, didn't go, people would gossip about her.
"Grandpa, let's go together later! Let Qinghuan stay at home to look after Ningning and An'an."
Huo Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat first and then come over after dinner."
Huo Qinghuan said, "Sister-in-law, I thought we were going to take An An and Ning Ning to the hospital together."
"It's too late and the weather is too cold. It's better not to take them to the hospital."
Lin Man refused directly, saying that it was nothing important and it was late at night, so try not to take the child to the hospital.
Regardless of whether the hospital is really filled with too much negative energy, there are patients everywhere. Children have poor resistance, so what if they go there and get infected by patients with infectious diseases?
Huo Qinghuan said again: "Sister-in-law, should I sleep here tonight?"
"Well, your cousin won't be coming over, so you can sleep in her bed."
After a while, Huo Qingci came back. Huo Li asked everyone to eat first and then go to the hospital.
After finishing his meal, Huo Qingci looked at the large amount of food still on the table. He remembered that his parents had hurried to the hospital and must not have eaten yet. They would not be able to go back for a while.
Thinking of this, Huo Qingci turned around and said to Lin Man gently, "Mom and Dad may not have eaten yet. Let's bring some food over to them!"
Lin Man nodded in agreement. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pack some food for them in lunch boxes. There's also a pot of red date chicken soup in the kitchen. I was planning to use it to cook noodles tomorrow morning, so I might as well bring that along!"
After that, the two of them started to get busy. Huo Qingci was busy clearing the dishes, while Lin Man went into the kitchen and packed the untouched dishes into two lunch boxes.

Then, she took out two thermos buckets from the space, one for rice and the other for soup.
Worried that her parents weren't full, Lin Man fried a few more eggs for them and took a small bowl of side dishes from the jar. After she finished, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this should be enough.
Lin Man quickly prepared meals for her parents-in-law. Huo Qingci then took out two cans of malted milk and two bags of fruit from the room and placed them on the table.
"We can't go to the hospital to see patients empty-handed!" Huo Qingci explained.
Lin Man nodded to show her understanding. While cleaning the table, she reminded Huo Qinghuan to take good care of An An and Ning Ning.
When Huo Yian saw his mother was about to go out, he immediately reached out for a hug, shouting, "Mom, hug me..."
Lin Man lovingly picked up her clingy little son and coaxed him softly, "Be good, An An! Play with your uncle at home. Mommy will make you something delicious tomorrow."
Huo Yining, who was originally concentrating on playing with a wooden gun, his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard his mother say that she was going to make delicious food for the two brothers, and he swallowed subconsciously.
"Mom, what delicious food are you going to make for us tomorrow?"
Lin Man looked at the children's expectant eyes and replied with a smile, "As long as you two listen to your uncle today, mom will make you steamed brown sugar cakes tomorrow night."
As soon as he heard that there was brown sugar cake to eat, Huo Yining immediately became very well-behaved and took the initiative to hand the toy gun in his hand to his younger brother Huo Yian, for fear that his mother would change her mind and not make brown sugar cake for them.
"Brother, Mommy has something to do and will be back soon. Be good and don't make a fuss. I'll give you the gun to play with."
When Huo Yian saw her brother handing her the toy, she immediately wanted to go back to bed. Lin Man put her back on the bed and said to Huo Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, watch over An An and don't let him fall."
"Okay, sister-in-law, go ahead. I'll take good care of An'an and Ningning."
Twenty minutes later, Lin Man, Huo Qingci and Huo Li arrived at the hospital carrying food and fruits.
The three of them went to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the third floor. Not knowing which ward Ling Fei was in, they came to the nurses' station and Huo Qingci asked the head nurse.
"Nurse Liu, may I ask which ward Comrade Ling Fei is staying in?"
Liu Chunmei looked up and saw Huo Qingci. She smiled and said, "Doctor Huo, Comrade Ling Fei is in Ward 8."
"Okay, we got it. Thank you, Nurse Liu."
The three of them knocked on the door of Ward No. 8 with food in their hands. As soon as they entered, Lin Man discovered that there was only one bed in this ward, with a sofa and a coffee table inside.
The sofa was full of people, including her parents-in-law, Ling Fei's uncle, aunt, father and mother.
This matter is quite serious. Look at the gloomy faces of my parents-in-law. They are having a quarrel.
Huo Qingyan is not here. Did he go to get food?
Seeing the door being pushed open, everyone in the ward looked towards the door. When they saw who was coming, they quickly stood up.
Ye Cheng took the initiative to greet him, "Grandpa, you're here!"
Huo Li hummed, and Huo Junshan gave up his seat. "Dad, please take a seat."
Huo Li looked around and saw that his second grandson Huo Qingyan was not there. He asked Huo Junshan, "Where is Qingyan?"
"I'm going outside to get food."
Huo Qingci gently placed the food in his hand on the coffee table and said, "Dad, I know you haven't eaten yet, so I brought some food from home for you."
At this time, Lin Man also put two bags of fruit and two cans of malted milk on the coffee table. "We also brought some fruit, everyone should have some!"
After saying that, she walked to Ling Fei's bedside and asked with concern: "Ling Fei, are you okay?"
