Jiang's mother glared at him, her eyes filled with anger, and then did as he said.

When you're out and about, you should make your spouse feel good, especially if they are ill.

The patient in the next bed was speechless at Jiang's father's affected manner.

"Why!"

At their age, people compare their children. To be honest, he was really envious and couldn't swallow his resentment.

After leaving his hospital bed, he secretly went outside and called his children, telling them that they must visit him the next day, or he would go on a hunger strike and jump off a building.

With the father making such a threat, the patient's children dared not make excuses any longer and all asked for leave from their companies.

The following day, ward 1101 was suddenly packed with people, filled with joy and laughter.

The children of the patients in the next bed all returned, each dressed smartly and adorned with jewels, suggesting they held high social status.

In addition, everyone had health supplements in their left hand and a fruit basket in their right, which was extremely thoughtful.

Jiang's father and mother never dreamed that the children of the patients in the next bed would be so successful. Looking at their simply dressed daughter, they were immediately saddened.

"Yimei, look at other people, they're all wearing diamond rings, gold bracelets, and gold chains, while you have nothing!"

"Mom! Some things can't be forced. Just be content with what you have," Jiang Yimei advised.

"But I need it. When are you going to buy me a gold bracelet or a gold chain to wear?" Jiang's mother asked.

"..."

Jiang Yimei was utterly speechless.

Her mother is extremely vain; she wants everything that others have and doesn't know how to live within her means.

Seeing her daughter's dark face and refusal to speak, Jiang's mother immediately became angry: "You brat, I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer?"

Jiang Yimei suppressed her anger and explained, "Mom! Can't we be realistic? I'm already heavily in debt, where am I going to get the money to buy you gold bracelets and gold chains?"

"Then you just don't love your mom."

Jiang's mother came to this conclusion, crossed her arms, and was furious.

"I……"

Jiang Yimei really wanted to curse, but since it was a public occasion, she decided not to make the matter public.

Seeing his daughter's face turn ashen with anger, and she seemed on the verge of exploding, Jiang's father, lying on the ice bed, finally managed to say a few words: "Alright, alright, just be understanding of our daughter. She's had a tough time for this family."

Jiang's mother still couldn't swallow her anger: "I just wanted to ask her if she was willing or not. I didn't say she absolutely had to."

Jiang Yimei: "..."

She felt truly exhausted. How did she end up with such a hypocritical and vain mother?

...

While the unpleasantness was escalating, the patient in the next bed suddenly poked his head out, holding a peeled apple in his hand. As he ate it, he looked smugly at Mr. Jiang and said, "Mr. Jiang, would you like a piece?"

This was clearly showing off, and Jiang's father resisted it vehemently: "I don't want to!"

However, he couldn't be so rude in front of outsiders, so he forced a smile and pretended to be humble: "I'm full from eating pork rib porridge, so I don't need any more."

"Really? I have some Solomon's Seal and Ginseng Chicken Soup tonight, would you like some?" The patient in the next bed continued to ask, wanting to see how pathetic Old Jiang would look.

"This...this is truly infuriating."

Jiang's father was furious.

So what if you have a lot of children? Is there any need to be so smug about it?
