As soon as I entered, I saw a couple with fawning expressions on their faces. "Dad, you know I'm busy with work and often forget things, which is why I haven't come to see you often. So, I came over with Ah Lian as soon as I had some free time at work."
Zhang Feng coldly replied, "Hmph, are you free from work? Did you guys smell something and come here to get something?"
"Get out, you and your wife, both of you get out."
Zhang Xiaoming replied confidently, "Dad, don't be so rude. Your things are my things. It's only right that others show you respect, because what she took should have been mine. I'm not taking your things; I'm taking what belongs to me!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoming's wife, Huang Lian, chimed in, "Yes, Mom and Dad, as your daughter-in-law, I shouldn't be criticizing you, but what you've done is really too much. How can you neglect your own child and give such a good thing to a stranger?"
“She just stole Xiaoming’s things, so it’s perfectly normal for Xiaoming to come and take what she gave him now.” Huang Lian said as she searched the cabinet next to the ward and found two cans of milk powder, malted milk powder and some pastries. Her eyes lit up instantly.
After finding these items, she searched through them again and discovered that there were only these few things. She quickly gave Zhang Xiaoming a wink, indicating that there was no cash or precious medicinal herbs like wild ginseng this time.
Zhang Xiaoming came over, took a look, and said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, is this the kind of thing your good students use to show their respect to you?"
"What's this little bit? It's nothing compared to what I gave her back then!"
Seeing that her children's appetites were growing bigger and bigger and their tempers were getting worse, Su Li's eyes reddened with anger: "Get out! Take these things and leave now. Don't let me see you again."
"Mom, don't worry, we'll leave once we get the money."
“That Lin Xiaoxiao has money to buy these things, but she didn’t give you any money this time? I don’t believe it at all. Hurry up and give it to me. Your grandson is counting on this money to eat meat and grow up.” Zhang Xiaoming casually stretched out his hand.
“Yes, Mom and Dad, if we lose things and money, others will give us more, but you only have one son. You will still have to rely on us to take care of you in your old age. You were confused once when you were young, you can’t be confused again now,” Huang Lian quickly chimed in.
“Look at our parents. As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao came back, their faces immediately became rosy. They must have eaten a lot of meat.”
"What kind of parents are you? You eat your way to health and look radiant, but you don't care about your son and daughter-in-law's sallow complexions. I'm so unlucky to have parents like you..."
Seeing that Su Li and her husband were unmoved, Zhang Xiaoming started howling in the ward. The hospital was surrounded by people three or four times because of this farce.
As more and more people gathered, Zhang Xiaoming became more and more enthusiastic in his performance, telling everyone how his parents favored him, how he had parents but it was as if he had none, and he kept crying out his misery.
Some newly arrived patients found the story intriguing and felt sorry for the child, while others who had stayed with Su Li for a while, who knew the situation, looked at Zhang Xiaoming and his wife with disdain.
As soon as he sings a single line, someone will come out to refute him.
At that moment, a nurse came over and shouted, "If you continue to make a scene in the ward, I'll call the security department."
These words had no effect on Zhang Xiaoming and Huang Lian. The two were like stubborn mules, as if they wouldn't leave until they got their money.
Lin Xiaoxiao watched the two of them for a while. Seeing the heartbroken expressions on Su Li and her husband's faces, she immediately turned around and went to the hospital's storage room to get a stick.
She strode to the ward door and shouted, "Excuse me!"
"Zhang Xiaoming, do you really think no one can handle you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's shout caused the onlookers to automatically make way. Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was holding a stick and was ready to fight, they immediately cleared a space for her.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao appeared, Zhang Xiaoming's expression changed immediately. He pointed at her and shouted, "Lin! Xiao! Xiao, how dare you come here? Look at what you've brought this time!"
"My mother is so good to you, and this is all you bring as a token of filial piety? Don't you feel guilty?"
"You think you're being filial just because you give me a little something? It's all because of you that my family is falling apart!"
"I'm guilty? You're the one who should feel guilty!"
"Do you think you grew up eating air? Did you pay your own dowry when you got married? You didn't even come to visit and take care of your own mother when she was injured, all you do is take her things. Are you even human?"
Zhang Xiaoming is shameless, even a scoundrel. Su Li and her husband didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so they decided to let her play the bad guy.
Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid at all; today she was going to teach this unfilial son a lesson.
"I've ruined the family? Don't you even look at yourself? You're a sucker every day, and you take it all for granted. You take food and money all the time, but you haven't given the teachers a single penny to live on. They even had to borrow money for their hospital bills."
"I never thought that all the money and things I've given you would turn into such an ungrateful wretch. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson, you good-for-nothing."
Zhang Xiaoming and Huang Lian were furious when they heard this, and they stood up to beat Lin Xiaoxiao.
Just as Zhang Xiaoming was about to make a move, Han Qiushi grabbed his hand, and Zhang Xiaoming's body instantly curled up. "Ah...it hurts...let go, let go!"
"Who are you? Let my husband go right now!" Huang Lian panicked the moment she saw her husband being easily manipulated by a tall man.
"You're making a scene in this public place, and now you're trying to assault a vulnerable woman. This is clearly something only a criminal gang would do. If you continue to cause trouble here, I'm calling the police!"
Upon hearing this, the frail woman Lin Xiaoxiao immediately put down her weapon.
Seeing that Han Qiushi was tall and strong and had a particularly imposing presence, Huang Lian immediately felt that this man was not to be trifled with. She immediately put away her mean face and said to Han Qiushi with a smile, "Comrade, please let my husband go first, and let's talk things out."
"This woman and the person in the hospital bed are family members. There was a misunderstanding between us, and this is to resolve that misunderstanding."
"Is resolving misunderstandings about throwing a tantrum and punching a girl?" Han Qiushi looked down at the two of them, his face dark.
Seeing that the couple immediately changed their tune when they saw people of different social status, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately retorted with a sarcastic remark: "Two cowards who are all talk and no action to outsiders but ruthless and aggressive at home!"
Seeing that he had been insulted, Zhang Xiaoming immediately changed his tune, saying, "You bitch! You're the last person who has the right to say that here."
"Really? I'm not qualified? Then are my things with you?"
"So what if it is? These things should have been mine! I have a clear conscience about taking them!" Zhang Xiaoming shouted matter-of-factly.
