"I'll stay with Shaomeng, you take Shaoheng back." Jiang Xue took off her coat and put it on Shaoheng.
"When you get back, make sure Shaoheng soaks his feet in hot water, so he doesn't catch a cold."
Ji Chen looked at the chattering Jiang Xue with a half-smile, "She really does look like a mother."
After Ji Chen finished speaking, he picked up Shao Heng and said, "Come on, Dad will take you home and get some clothes for your sister."
His foot had already stepped out the door, but he didn't forget to turn back to Jiang Xue and ask, "What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow? I'll bring it to you."
Jiang Xue waved wearily, signaling Ji Chen to hurry up and leave.
Jiang Xue, who had originally planned to go out and do business, could only take care of Shao Meng in the hospital.
Looking at the chubby little Shaomeng in her arms, Jiang Xue felt her heart melting. Perhaps because she was an orphan in her past life, she had to raise the two children no matter how hard or tiring it was.
Jiang Xue was just about to fall asleep when she heard a loud commotion in the corridor.
Jiang Xue covered Shao Meng, who was already asleep, with a blanket.
"Even if I only have two dogs, I'm still better off than you guys."
Jiang Xue frowned. Who on earth was so rude, making such a racket in the hospital in the middle of the night?
Jiang Xue leaned closer to the crowd and saw an elderly man with gray hair standing in room 3005, cursing loudly.
3005? Isn't that ward only occupied by the elderly mother of the Li siblings? Could it be that this old man was cursing the Li siblings?
"Get out of here, everyone get out of here! What are you doing? Making a scene in the hospital in the middle of the night, don't you want the patients to get any rest?" The nurse stepped forward and shooed away the people who had gathered to watch the commotion.
"Go back, go back, and you too! If you keep making a scene, I'll call security. So many patients are resting here, what's all the noise about?" The nurse dispersed the crowd and glared fiercely at the old man.
"Who is this person? They come to cause trouble every few days, and they won't take care of my sick wife."
The nurse grumbled as she rushed downstairs.
Seeing that everyone had left, Jiang Xue watched as the old man slipped into room 3005. Sensing something was wrong, Jiang Xue stood outside the door and observed him for a moment.
“I told her I didn’t want to adopt you back then, but that old hag wouldn’t listen.”
"You're only coming back now that everyone's in bed. Was there any point in coming back at all?"
“I have been taking care of her since she was bedridden. I don’t care if the house is given to me, and she has to pay back all the child support she has received over the years.”
Jiang Xue then realized that her adoptive father had come to extort money.
The Li siblings ignored him because they knew the old man was trying to extort money, but they didn't want to confront him because of his status as their adoptive father.
"What are you doing? Don't you know there are patients resting?" Jiang Xue pushed open the door without hesitation. "If you really care about your husband, why don't you come and take care of him? Instead, you're making a scene here all the time."
Jiang Xue despises elderly people who use moral blackmail, taking advantage of their age and engaging in emotional extortion.
Li Wen's eyes were red as she came over and took Jiang Xue's hand. "Little sister, I know you mean well and want to help us. It's alright. It's true that we didn't do well and didn't take good care of our elders."
"That's right, it's our family matter, why should you interfere? Who do you think you are? Get out of here!" After saying that, the old man stared greedily at the brother and sister.
“I don’t care. If you don’t give me 50,000 yuan in child support and the old woman’s old house, I’m not leaving today.”
"I left with nothing back then. In order to make sure that old hag took you all with me, I didn't take anything with me."
