According to the teacher, Song Yanzhi had only fainted; the teacher did not know the specifics.
In those days, communication was not well-developed, and there was still no news from the hospital after the patient was sent there.
She arrived quite late; Wang Yanmei, Pei Hai, Pei Jichuan, and Pei Yuchen were all there.
Wang Yanmei dismissed it, saying, "It's just fainting, it's not like she's going to die. Does she really need to be taken to a big hospital? You're all making a big fuss over nothing. How much money would that cost?"
Although there was no dowry for the youngest son's wedding, there were still many things to prepare inside and out.
Instead of spending that money on hospital admission, it would be better to give it to his brother for his wedding.
Wang Yanmei felt it was completely unnecessary.
She even quickly started talking to Pei Yuchen about Pei Hai's marriage, implying that she didn't have enough money and needed his help as her older brother.
"Even though the bride doesn't want a dowry, the banquet and the slaughtering of pigs all cost money. As the older brother, don't you know how to show some appreciation?"
"And you, why didn't you say anything when you arrived? Are you trying to pretend you don't know anything? As the eldest sister-in-law, you have to help too." As soon as Song Yanzhi arrived, Wang Yanmei immediately began to belittle him.
"Mom, stop talking. I told you I don't need anyone else's help!" Pei Hai said, somewhat embarrassed and angry, looking apologetically at Pei Yuchen and Song Yanzhi.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't listen to her. I don't want your money. If I need money, I'll earn it myself."
Wang Yanmei was exasperated: "What nonsense are you talking about? What money do you earn? So what if your brother and his family need his help? He's your brother, why are you being so polite to him?"
Pei Yuchen said calmly, "Xiao Hai said he doesn't need it, so forget it. You don't need to make things difficult for him."
Song Yanzhi nodded in agreement, saying, "I respect Xiao Hai's decision."
A hint of a smile flashed in Pei Yuchen's eyes.
Pei Hai looked grateful.
Wang Yanmei was so angry she had a headache. "He was just being polite, why are you taking it so seriously? The money is definitely still needed..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Qiao rushed over, "How is Tian Tian? What happened? Why did she faint?"
She originally planned to wait for Pei Tiantian to finish class so she could pick her up and take her to the company for training, but when she didn't get to the school, she heard that Pei Tiantian had fainted and been taken to the hospital.
Pei Tiantian was her only chance to turn things around, and Zhou Qiao was extremely worried.
"Don't worry, let's wait for the doctor to come out before we see her." Yang Wei, who came with her, put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her. "If anything happens, I'll take her to the best hospital. She'll be fine."
"How can I not be anxious?" Zhou Qiao said, her voice trembling with emotion. "Tian Tian has just settled into her new job, and the last poster shoot was reportedly well-received. How can something like this happen now?"
As she spoke, she noticed Song Yanzhi standing to the side and frowned. "Did you put her down again? I heard from Tian Tian that you've never liked her. I thought she was exaggerating."
Song Yanzhi was baffled: "Why would I suppress her? I've never even seen her."
"What happened? Why did she faint out of nowhere?"
“This isn’t Pei…” Yang Wei was taken aback when he saw Song Yanzhi.
Then they saw Pei Yuchen walking over.
His expression changed slightly.
I never expected to run into him here.
"What a coincidence, Captain Pei is here too."
Pei Yuchen's gaze fell on the hand that was resting on Zhou Qiao's shoulder. He didn't say anything, but gave a slight nod as a greeting.
Yang Wei immediately made an excuse to leave.
"Xiaoqiao, I have something to do, I'll go first. If Tiantian is okay, remember to let me know."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhou Qiao to speak.
Zhou Qiao felt a little uncomfortable. She could sense that Yang Wei was trying to avoid suspicion, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood.
But aren't they close friends? He was quite happy to help me pretend to be his boyfriend before.
There's nothing wrong with him coming to see the child now; there's no need for him to leave right after seeing Pei Yuchen.
She also wanted to show Pei Yuchen that she wasn't just an expert she knew.
Even without him, I can still do very well.
Before she could think any further, the doctor came out, looked at the crowd gathered around, and asked, "Who is Pei Tiantian's family member?"
"Yes, it's me." Of everyone present, Pei Jichuan was probably the most worried about Pei Tiantian. Seeing the doctor arrive, he was the first to rush forward, "Doctor, how is my sister?"
He had seen through it all. His sister was in a coma, but the Pei family was only concerned with discussing other things and didn't care about her life or death at all.
Pei Jichuan couldn't quite describe his feelings. Grandma Pei was undoubtedly good to him, but that kind of goodness made him very uncomfortable, especially after hearing her say that his sister didn't need to go to the hospital and wasn't going to die. A feeling of disgust and hatred welled up in his heart.
"This child fainted from hunger. Coupled with his pre-existing malnutrition and anemia, his condition is quite serious. He needs to be observed. You don't seem to be a poor family, so how could such a thing happen—a child fainting from hunger?"
The doctor was very puzzled.
“If this child doesn’t take good care of his health, his physical and mental development will be affected in the future. You parents should pay more attention to your child’s health.”
"What? She fainted from hunger? How could Tian Tian faint from hunger? Aren't you feeding her?" Zhou Qiao asked angrily. "She's so young, are you trying to starve her to death?"
Her hostile gaze fell on Song Yanzhi and Pei Yuchen again.
Because Pei Tiantian and her brother are now receiving living expenses from Pei Yuchen.
It must be because Song Yanzhi was unwilling to provide living expenses for the two children, which resulted in them not having enough to eat at the Pei family's house.
Wang Yanmei said, "Nonsense! When have I ever stopped feeding her?"
