My college roommate wrote to me. His wife gave birth to a daughter, and his parents, who favored sons over daughters, were causing a huge uproar at home.
Wu Minjun's fingers turned white as she gripped the letter, her face filled with excitement.
She suddenly stood up.
Chang Pengfei was busy cooking in the corridor. When he had a little free time, he talked to the people in the room to liven up the atmosphere.
However, no one replied.
He thought Wu Minjun didn't want to talk to him.
But there was no movement in the room for a long time, so he put down the shovel with concern.
The room was so quiet it was as if he were the only one talking to himself from beginning to end!
"Hey, Chang, did you buy any pork ribs? I'm here to ask you for a few pieces to help my grandson get better!"
The old lady who lived across the street came over and patted him on the shoulder, which suddenly snapped Chang Pengfei out of his daze.
He grabbed the old lady and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, have you seen my boyfriend?"
The old lady clicked her tongue, looking at him with a hint of disdain: "Young man, don't put all your eggs in one basket. When you bent down to get something, that girl left without even turning her head!"
"She was holding a letter, smiling creepily, and saying something about taking the baby to find the father. They wanted to reunite as a family, and you couldn't stop them!"
Chang Pengfei was struck dumb by what he heard.
He clutched his chest, speechless, his heart utterly broken.
The old lady looked at the unfortunate child with sympathy, and smelling the burnt meat in the pot, she quickly ran over to save the day.
That poor kid! What's more important than meat than a woman? She has to take some ribs back for her grandson later!
The ground was covered with withered yellow leaves.
Chang Pengfei's first love has officially come to an end.
Before leaving the capital that day, Wu Minjun returned to the Wu family home. The Wu family was having dinner when the two sides started arguing. The argument escalated and they ended up revealing each other's dirty laundry.
The Wu family cursed Wu Minjun for disgracing the family, while Wu Minjun retorted that the Wu family only cared about money, and that they were the ones who made the decision for her in the first place, taking the compensation and bringing her back from school in another city.
Upon hearing this, the neighbors exclaimed, "Good heavens! There's not a single good person in your Wu family! We'll stay as far away from you as possible from now on!"
Several kind-hearted neighbors went over to mediate the fight, but after a short while, they turned around and found that Wu Minjun was gone.
Further news came that she had arrived in Guangdong Province and was temporarily staying with her university roommate. In her letter, she asked someone to borrow 500 yuan for living expenses.
After reading the letter, Chang Pengfei casually tossed it into the trash can.
Men are the most affectionate creatures in the world, and also the most ruthless.
A man's love is sometimes not that valuable.
*
A few days later, at the hospital.
At Zhou Hongyu's insistence, the hospital gave Granny Chang a full-body examination, and she couldn't help but frown when she saw the results.
This old lady's daughter-in-law must have some kind of keen eye, because she guessed most of it correctly.
The attending physician smiled and coaxed Chen Zhaodi to take Granny Chang out for some fresh air.
Turning to Zhou Hongyu with a serious expression, he said, "Your grandmother's condition is not good..."
Overwork has severely depleted my body; if I don't take timely remedial measures, the consequences could be dire.
Zhou Hongyu nodded.
That's right!
The old lady had absolutely no understanding of her own body!
After reaching her limit, the old lady's body could no longer withstand it. She fell ill intermittently and finally passed away one day when all medicine was ineffective.
The attending physician, observing Zhou Hongyu's attire, knew that her family had a solid financial foundation.
He said earnestly, "If your family is willing, I suggest that the patient stay in the hospital for a while longer, so that the hospital can observe her and prescribe a suitable treatment method for the old lady!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded firmly: "Doctor, our family will never hold us back. Thank you for your help!"
"Not at all, it's all we should do!" The attending physician smiled with satisfaction. With such cooperative family members, the medical staff were very pleased.
As Zhou Hongyu came out with the medical examination report, Chen Zhaodi and Granny Chang immediately surrounded her.
Granny Chang nudged Chen Zhaodi's arm, and Chen Zhaodi, with a smirk, said loudly, "Hongyu, Mom says she feels perfectly healthy, and she's had the check-up you suggested. Mom says she wants to be discharged!"
"You can't believe everything doctors say. Of course, doctors want to have more patients so they can make money. Ordinary people like us shouldn't waste our money at the hospital!"
Zhou Hongyu glared at her, then turned to Granny Chang and said, "Mom, this isn't about wasting money. Your good grandson has already paid several hundred yuan at the hospital. That money can only stay in the hospital's account and can't be refunded. If you leave, that's the real waste of money!"
"After reviewing your medical report, the attending physician also said that your body is severely depleted, and if you don't receive timely treatment, the cost will only increase in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaodi, who was notoriously stingy, was the most excited one.
She clutched her chest in anguish: "Mom, you should stay here. Wait until the money is almost gone and the doctor has cured your illness before you think about leaving the hospital!"
That unlucky guy Chang Pengfei paid the money; if he were to be discharged from the hospital so hastily, he would have suffered a huge loss.
Although it wasn't Chen Zhaodi's money that was spent, she still felt the pain as if it were her own.
Grandma Chang was rather indecisive. Since neither of her daughters-in-law wanted her to leave the hospital, she could only obediently stay in the hospital and wait for the next step of treatment.
That afternoon, Zhou Bing arrived at the hospital carrying a small bundle.
Chen Zhaodi was washing her lunchbox by the sink when she saw him like this and was taken aback. She quickly called out to Zhou Hongyu in the direction of the ward.
Zhou Hongyu came out, her brow furrowed: "Can't you stay at home anymore?"
"Yes, Auntie!" Zhou Bing said in a low voice.
Zhou Hongyu pulled him to the other end of the corridor, her face serious: "Tell me everything, what happened?"
