Ding Haowen sneered, "Chen Jiayi, that's enough!"
Chen Jiayi reported him to the police and he was suspended from his job. Now his child has been abandoned at the hospital. What if the child is abducted by human traffickers?
The thought of his child possibly being abducted by human traffickers made Ding Haowen forget to argue with Chen Jiayi.
Ding Haowen took a deep breath and glanced coldly at Chen Jiayi, seemingly speaking to Li Yuzhu in front of her.
"Yuzhu, I'm going to the hospital to see the child first."
Li Yuzhu nodded, her eyes fixed on Chen Jiayi.
Seeing that Chen Jiayi had no reaction, Li Yuzhu felt that something was wrong with Chen Jiayi.
If it were the old Chen Jiayi, she would definitely be jealous and verbally abuse her.
But she's not saying a word now, just watching you like it's a show...
Li Yuzhu had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
When Chen Jiayi saw that Ding Haowen had left, she turned around and saw that Li Yuzhu was still there.
She raised an eyebrow. "Oh, why aren't you leaving yet?"
A flash of resentment crossed Li Yuzhu's eyes. Because of Chen Jiayi, her work today had been a complete mess.
She only took the morning off, but if she goes back to work at the hospital now, she'll definitely be gossiped about...
She stared at the vegetables on Chen Jiayi's stall and suddenly smiled.
"Sister-in-law, how much are your potatoes per pound?"
Chen Jiayi glanced at Li Yuzhu and secretly rejoiced.
"Two cents."
"How many?"
Chen Jiayi continued, "Two cents."
Chen Jiayi thought she had quoted too high a price and that Li Yuzhu couldn't accept it.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuzhu arrogantly said, "Give me 20 jin of these potatoes! Can you deliver them to my door?"
Chen Jiayi never expected that someone would actually be so foolish as to spend two cents to buy potatoes.
Meat is much more expensive than vegetables, and potatoes cost 0.5 cents a pound. She didn't want to sell them to Li Yuzhu, so she deliberately made them so expensive.
Chen Jiayi smiled and said, "Where do you live? If it's not far, I can give you a ride."
Li Yuzhu took out a pen and paper from her bag and quickly wrote down her address.
She arrogantly left her address at Chen Jiayi's stall, thinking that she would make a fool of Chen Jiayi later.
Li Yuzhu turned and left, feeling quite pleased with herself.
Chen Jiayi didn't call her over; she continued reading a book.
People's Hospital.
When Ding Haowen came to pay the fee, he was completely stunned.
"What did you say? How much?"
The medical staff impatiently repeated, "218 yuan! Are you going to pay or not? If you're not going to pay, get out of the way! There are a lot of people waiting in line behind you."
Ding Haowen was surprised that it would cost so much to treat a child's diarrhea, and he immediately suspected that the hospital was making money unethically.
"My child just has diarrhea, why does it cost 218 yuan?"
The medical staff rolled their eyes. "Wait a minute, I'll check for you."
Ding Haowen felt that the medical staff member's attitude was bad, and he grunted in displeasure.
After reviewing the documents, the medical staff slowly asked, "Are you the child's father?"
Ding Haowen nodded.
The medical staff said coldly, "Your child has had diarrhea for two days, and has become weak and infected. He needs IV fluids every day now. No one at home has been taking care of the child these past two days; the hospital has been looking after him, and there will be a care fee. It will come to 218 yuan in total."
Ding Haowen took a deep breath. He thought he would only need to pay a few dollars, but he didn't expect it to be so much.
The people behind him impatiently urged, "Are you going to pay or not? If not, get out of here!"
Ding Haowen gritted his teeth, "I'll go get the money."
He turned around and went home, seething with anger. His savings book was kept by his mother.
However, when Ding Haowen got home, he couldn't find his mother. He frantically searched the house and finally found her in the kitchen.
Li Shufang didn't know what happened, but she hit her head and got a big bump, then collapsed unconscious on the ground.
Ding Haowen immediately carried his mother into the room.
His face was filled with terror, and he went to fetch a doctor.
The doctor was speechless after examining it.
"Your mom is starving. Get her something to eat and she'll feel better."
Ding Haowen: "..."
He awkwardly and painfully paid the consultation fee, and after seeing the doctor out, he rubbed his temples impatiently.
Ding Haowen went to buy some food and came back home. As soon as he got home, he saw his father-in-law, Chen Xiaowei, sitting casually in the yard, sunbathing.
When Ding Haowen saw Chen Xiaowei, he immediately thought of Chen Jiayi, and his forehead throbbed a few times.
He pursed his lips. "Dad, didn't I tell you to go and persuade Chen Jiayi to come back?"
Chen Xiaowei was surprised by Ding Haowen's sudden return. He exclaimed in surprise, then chuckled and explained.
"I went today, but that brat just won't come back with me!"
Chen Xiaowei felt a little guilty, but he was indeed telling the truth!
Ding Haowen only told him to persuade Chen Jiayi to come back within a week, or he would be fined two yuan.
If he manages to persuade Chen Jiayi to come back on the last day, wouldn't he be able to get 7 yuan?
Ding Haowen laughed in exasperation, "Dad, where's the child?"
Chen Xiaowei waved his hand, looking somewhat smug.
“I gave the child to Chen Jiayi! She is the child’s mother, so of course she has to take care of the child.”
Ding Haowen was speechless with anger. He went back to his room and fed his mother some glucose water. He saw that his mother slowly woke up.
Ding Haowen immediately asked Li Shufang.
"Mom, you have trouble walking, why did you come to the kitchen?"
Li Shufang said with some grievance, "I've been hungry all day. I didn't eat anything last night, and I was really starving. I just wanted to make myself something to eat."
Ding Haowen immediately realized that it was definitely his father-in-law, Chen Xiaowei, who had taken the money but hadn't done anything!
