They were all staying in the hospital. When Li's mother saw the two beds of Yang Zhaozhao and the others, she prepared to sleep with Li Yifeng.

Just as she walked over, Yang Zhaozhao plopped down on the accompanying bed: "What's the matter? You want to sleep? Go and rent it yourself. This is what we paid for. Do you have any shame?"

Mother Li was furious: "Yang Zhaozhao, I am your elder. If you come in, you have to call me aunt."

Yang Zhaozhao rolled his eyes: "You don't deserve it, get out, don't mess with me!"

Mother Li was about to explode, but Li Yiling said, "Say one more thing, didn't you see Grandpa is unconscious? If you don't want to stay here, then go back. Grandpa has us all."

Mother Li was speechless and looked at the fierce Li Yiling, mocking him, "Humph, the old man is unconscious, why are you pretending to be filial?"

"When the old man wakes up, he will know that you don't respect the elderly and love the young, and bully me, his aunt. Just wait and see!" Mother Li snorted and asked Li Yifeng to rent a bed for a companion.

When they heard that it would cost two dollars a night, and that quilts were charged separately, which meant two quilts would cost half a dollar, they looked at each other and saw that it was already two o'clock. If they waited a little longer, it would be dawn.

And so, the mother and son sat in the corridor and took a nap.

Yang Zhaozhao and the others were sleeping in the ward and looked very comfortable.

Li Yiling was not sleeping soundly. When Li Yifeng sneaked to see the old man, he opened his eyes and stared at him, wanting to see what Li Yifeng was doing.

Li Yifeng turned around and met Li Yiling's sharp gaze. His heart tightened and he had no idea what was going on. He knew that Li Yiling was on guard against him.

Li Yifeng snorted: "What are you looking at? What's wrong with me taking a look at Grandpa? Can't I take a look?"

Li Yifeng was answered by Li Yiling's warning look.

This night was tormenting for Li's mother and Li Yifeng.

Finally it was daybreak, and seeing that the old man had not woken up yet, they went back and waited for him to wake up before showing their courtesy to him again.

When Yang Zhaozhao woke up, she saw that it was already past seven o'clock and rubbed her eyes.

Li Yiling was doing his homework when the study system gave him another task. If he didn't finish it, he would die. Li Yiling was reluctant to die because he still had Yang Zhaozhao and his grandfather.

Yang Zhaozhao smiled at him sleepily: "Good morning!"

"Good morning." Li Yiling glanced at the table lovingly: "I made breakfast for you, go wash up and eat."

Yang Zhaozhao nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When Li Yiling came out, he hadn't finished yet. Yang Zhaozhao drank the porridge, ate the eggs, and took out a bag of pickles.

Thinking that Cui Nai and the others were still at home, she said, "I'll go back for a while. You stay here and I'll bring you lunch at noon."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Yiling knew that the two of them were already one, and he was enjoying her kindness.

Yang Zhaozhao smiled and kissed him on the cheek: "Don't leave anyone in the ward. I won't let anyone else go."

"I know." Li Yiling nodded. Fortunately, it was summer vacation. If school had started, he would have to ask for leave.

After returning home, Grandma Cui and Xiao Cui had breakfast. After hearing about Mr. Li's condition, they felt uneasy. Yang Zhaozhao asked Mrs. Sun to prepare more food.

In the morning, Yang Zhaozhao went to the supermarket and bought some goods.

When delivering lunch to Li Yiling at noon, Li's mother and Li Yifeng also came. They saw Yang Zhaozhao bringing braised pork ribs, blanched Chinese cabbage, tomato and eggs, and rice. The two of them ate three dishes.

The spareribs are fat and lean and delicious, and the braised ones are amazing.

When Li's mother saw this, she said sarcastically, "The old man is still lying in bed, and the grandson is eating all kinds of fish and meat. How can he eat them? Who are you trying to show off to with this filial piety?"

Picking up a large piece of pork ribs, Yang Zhaozhao gave it to Li Yiling: "You drew so much blood yesterday, you need to replenish it. This pork rib tastes good, I'll make it for you next time."

"Okay, you have one too." Li Yiling also picked up some ribs for Yang Zhaozhao.

In front of Li's mother, Yang Zhaozhao ate the pork ribs with relish. They were delicious and cooked till tender. Each rib fell off the bone and was very tasty.

Anyone who has seen it knows it is delicious.

After finishing his meal, Yang Zhaozhao sucked on the bones and praised them: "It's delicious. Two pounds of ribs are not enough."

Two pounds of spare ribs, what a luxury!

Mother Li looked at the large plate of spare ribs being eaten up by them one by one. She swallowed her saliva and glared at them: "Huh, the old man has nothing to eat, but you are eating spare ribs. Where's your face!"

Yang Zhaozhao glanced at Mama Li and asked, "Have you eaten your spareribs? Why are you talking so much?"

Mother Li choked after being scolded: "It's not your turn to eat my spare ribs."

"I eat my own ribs, what's it to you? If you can't afford it yourself, don't be jealous of others. You are just jealous." Yang Zhaozhao laughed.

Mother Li was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Yang Zhaozhao and walked out of the ward.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Yang Zhaozhao left the hospital. She also had to go to the supermarket and check on the construction site. She was very busy every day.

Li Jingping couldn't have been unaware that Grandpa Li was in the hospital. He took a bus back overnight and arrived at the hospital in the afternoon. Mother Li and Li Yifeng were both there.

Seeing Li Jingping, he felt like he had found his backbone.

After learning about the old man's condition, Li Jingping said, "You are doing well. You know how to stay by grandpa's side in the hospital. Grandpa's love for you is not in vain. Uncle is relieved to see that you are so understanding."

Li Yiling looked indifferent, just glanced at him and said nothing.

Li Yiling was even more dismissive of his false comfort.

"Dad, why do you say so much to him? He won't appreciate it at all." Li Yifeng felt confident when he saw his father coming back.

Li Jingping said nothing and went to ask the doctor about the old man's condition.

Li Yiling stayed with the old man and refused to go anywhere. He ignored everything they said and treated them as if they were air. This arrogant attitude made Li's mother very angry.

Yang Zhaozhao came to deliver food in the evening and saw Li Jingping. She knew that Li Yifeng's father had come. He thought that he could raise a son like that and marry a woman like that. He must not be a good person.

The two looked at each other, and Yang Zhaozhao seemed not to see Li Jingping and walked towards Li Yiling.

Mother Li curled her lips and said, "See? She's already arrogant even before we even get married. If she really marries me, she won't even know who we are. She has no manners at all."

Li Jingping initially thought his wife was talking nonsense, but now it seems that it is true.

It's really rude of you, a grown-up, to sit here without even saying hello.

What made Li Jingping feel even more rude was that Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling had roast chicken with chestnuts, steamed fish, and pig liver soup in the evening, which looked like they were for nourishing the blood and body.

The two of them ate by themselves without even calling them.

Mother Li said cryptically, "For lunch, there were two pounds of braised pork ribs. The two of them finished them in one meal. What kind of family are they? They can eat like this."

"Dad said he didn't take care of them, but I don't believe it."

Li Jingping clenched his fist. He knew since he was a child that his father was good to his younger brother. Later, his younger brother passed away, leaving behind this grandson, who was just as good to him as ever.

No matter how well or well you do, it is what the old man thinks you deserve.

I have known since I was a child that the old man is partial. It’s bad enough that he suffers, but now it’s his son’s turn to suffer as well.

Looking at Li Yiling, who showed no respect for his elders, Li Jingping said with a lump in his throat, "Yiling, you guys can go back and do your own things. I'll stay here with Grandpa."

Li Yiling wiped the oil off his mouth and met Li Jingping's gaze: "I'm guarding my grandfather, isn't that right?"

"I can handle my own situation, so you don't have to worry about it, uncle." After saying that, he cleared the dishes without even looking at the expressions of the three members of the Li family.

Yang Zhaozhao calmly ate the fruit she brought, and even left some for Li Yiling, completely ignoring them.

Unable to defeat Li Yiling, Li Jingping stared at Yang Zhaozhao and asked, "Are you Yiling's target?"

Yang Zhaozhao ate grapes and nodded: "I am."

Li Jingping smiled. If the bastard was difficult to deal with, how could a little girl be difficult to deal with?

Li Jingping deliberately chided Yang Zhaozhao, poking at her sore spot, "I heard you two met in the countryside, and your engagement was broken off, so you can't have children?"
