After leaving the hospital, Chen Zhaodi chuckled and mocked Chang Hongbing for being so cold to her: "I think it's a good thing your dad can't make the decision, otherwise, given his bias, our Yaozu, as the eldest son and grandson, wouldn't get any advantage when the houses are divided!"
In a moment of panic, he spoke the truth. After he finished speaking, he realized that the second wife's family was also present, and he immediately covered his mouth in nervousness.
Zhou Hongyu glanced at Chen Zhaodi indifferently, without getting angry.
What's there to be angry about? He's telling the truth. Old Man Chang is devoted to his second wife's daughters, Mei Ying and Ri Hui. One is his most beloved granddaughter, and the other is his greatest pride in this life.
On the contrary, Chang Hongbing and his wife discovered their existence, made a big fuss about it, and hid away, ashamed to be seen by others.
Once on the same bus, Chang Hongbing and his wife kept their distance, afraid that Zhou Hongyu would call out to them. They kept winking and gesturing at Chang Meiying, who was trying to signal to them.
Zhou Hongyu: "..."
Ugh, looks like you guys are just asking for a beating!
They returned to Shuangdong Hutong. Chang Meiying had rushed to the hospital and left her schoolbag there. Chang Hongbing and his wife were going back to explain Old Man Chang's condition to Qiao Sirui and her daughter.
When things got chaotic, Qiao's mother was still worried about Enen's health and made excuses to stop her from going, so the three of them stayed at home to wait for news.
Upon arriving at the door, Qiao's mother immediately rushed out of the yard, looking very concerned: "How is Grandpa Yaozu? Is he alright? Grandpa Yaozu is very lucky and has a long life ahead of him. I think he should be fine!"
In his heart, he cursed the troublesome old man, wishing he would die soon and be reborn in a better place, and that his funeral would be tonight!
Chang Hongbing smiled easily: "My dear in-law, thank you for your concern. My father is doing well. He had a full check-up at the hospital and is fine for now. As long as he takes good care of himself, he can live for several more decades!"
"Oh, I see..." Mrs. Qiao was extremely disappointed.
“Yes, Dad was lucky. The best doctor in the hospital spotted him right away. As long as he’s managed well, he’ll be almost like a normal person!” Chen Zhaodi smiled and reached out to hug her grandson: “Mmm, come here, Grandma will hug you…”
Qiao Sirui smiled and handed Enen over, and Qiao's mother, disregarding her disappointment, immediately stepped in between them.
Qiao's mother looked her up and down: "Grandma Enen, there are a lot of germs in the hospital. You should take a shower and change your clothes before you come to hold the baby!"
After saying that, he turned around and scolded Qiao Sirui in front of everyone.
"Grandma Enen doesn't know, but you don't know! How I raised you since you were little..."
Qiao's mother kept scolding Qiao Sirui, who pitifully held her child and didn't dare to talk back.
While scolding her daughter, Qiao's mother was actually giving advice to others. Zhou Hongyu found it uninteresting and didn't want to get involved in the bizarre way the mother and daughter interacted.
"I have something to do, so I grabbed my schoolbag, said hello to my mother-in-law, and rushed off!" Zhou Hongyu pulled Chang Meiying inside.
Chang Hongbing and his wife watched her graceful departure with bitter faces. Qiao Sirui was their daughter-in-law; how could they abandon her? They still had to take care of her.
Chen Zhaodi racked her brains for words: "Um, in-laws, please don't scold Sirui..."
Zhou Hongyu picked up her schoolbag and went to the next room. Chang Meiying sat next to Granny Chang and chatted with her. Zhou Hongyu also smiled and said a few words.
Granny Chang laughed non-stop as they coaxed her, and casually asked, "Hongyu, I heard you all went to the hospital. Is someone in your family sick?"
Zhou Hongyu immediately looked at Chang Meiying, who was grinning. Sure enough, Chang Meiying immediately closed her mouth and glanced at her timidly.
Zhou Hongyu gave her a dismissive look, as if to say, "You just wait until you get home!"
Zhou Hongyu found a place to sit down and replied, "Dad wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a checkup, so that's why we went to the hospital!"
Chang Meiying nodded and couldn't help but start talking: "Grandma, Grandpa is so pitiful. Grandpa said it's a disease passed down from his ancestors. Many people in Grandpa's mother's family have the disease. However, Grandpa discovered it early, and as long as he manages it well, he'll be fine!"
Granny Chang pursed her lips: "Your grandfather got sick at such a young age, he deserves it. It must be because he did too many bad things! But..."
She looked up, her face showing disgust: "Your grandfather isn't his mother's biological son. What does his maternal family's business have to do with him? His biological mother died after giving birth to him. He doesn't even know which way his maternal family's door opens!"
Chang Meiying: "..."
Zhou Hongyu: "..."
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
As Chen Zhaodi reached the door, she was caught off guard by a huge secret and turned around in a panic.
Chen Zhaodi: "How about we just pretend I never appeared?"
Granny Chang smiled and beckoned to Chen Zhaodi: "Zhaodi, come here. I like you the most. Tell me, has Hongbing been bullying you lately..."
Granny Chang pulled Chen Zhaodi aside and started chatting as if no one else was around, talking about things from over ten years ago, and she got confused again.
Zhou Hongyu gave Chang Meiying a look and went back.
Chang Meiying looked at her confused grandmother with reluctance. Whenever this happened, her grandmother would completely forget about her. Although she would hold her hand warmly, she would always call out other people's names and ask her mother to have a child soon so that the child could stay by her side.
As Zhou Hongyu went out, she bumped into Chang Yaozu, who was rushing back from out of town.
Chang Yaozu was exhausted, but he still greeted them with a smile.
That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, Chen Zhaodi wouldn't be willing to call her son, who was still at work, back until the day of Old Man Chang's funeral.
Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but turn around and glance at the courtyard before looking away: "Yaozu, you're back!"
Upon hearing her words, Qiao's mother and the others in the courtyard immediately looked at her.
Chang Yaozu is back!
Chang Yaozu forced a smile: "Second Aunt, I came back because I have something to take care of!"
Chang Meiying took the initiative to tell him about Old Man Chang's situation: "Brother, Grandpa is in the hospital. Grandpa said it's an illness passed down from his ancestors. However, the doctor who examined Grandpa said he's fine. Grandma also said it has nothing to do with Grandpa. Grandpa is alright!"
After listening patiently, Chang Yaozu paused and said, "Grandpa is sick? Why didn't anyone tell me!"
With a successful career and a harmonious family, Chang Yaozu and Chang Hongbing are now becoming more and more alike, the third generation of the Chang family preparing to be the most filial son!
Chen Zhaodi could hear her son's voice even from inside the room, so she quickly ran out to explain: "Your grandfather is sick, but it's not that serious. The doctor said that as long as he takes care of himself at home, he'll be just like a normal person again. His condition is much better than your grandmother's!"
Speaking of this, I grit my teeth in hatred. Old Man Chang and Old Woman Chang should be switched.
Old Man Chang went back to his senile ways, while Old Woman Chang remained healthy.
Chang Yaozu's mood was like a rollercoaster ride. On the way here, he had no smile on his face because he learned about something that could destroy his family.
He rushed to Shuangdong Hutong and heard that his grandfather was hospitalized. He was so shocked that he almost had a cardiac arrest.
Fortunately, Grandpa is alright.
However, he still has family matters to resolve...
Chang Yaozu looked at Qiao's mother, who had her back to him, with a sinister gaze.
