Chapter 82 How do you take care of Mom?
Yan Shunzhong first called Yan Liang and asked about Zhao Chunrong's situation.
I knew she wasn't seriously injured; she had just sprained her ankle.
He said he was going to visit, and Yan Liang didn't think much of it and sent him the address and ward number.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Liang felt something was off.
"When did our two families become so close?"
Lu Caizhi walked over. "What's wrong?"
Yan Liang said, "Uncle Shunzhong said he wanted to come and take a look."
Lu Caizhi was also surprised when he said this.
"Who are you looking at?"
"Who else can I look at? My grandma."
Lu Caizhi frowned, immediately sensing that something was wrong.
"Why would he come here out of the blue?"
Yan Liang froze, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned around and strode towards the ward.
This morning, Peng Xiufang discovered that Zhao Chunrong couldn't get up, which terrified everyone.
After a check-up at the hospital, Zhao Chunrong's foot injury was not serious, but the doctor said she had been frightened.
Everyone was busy criticizing Peng Xiufang for not taking good care of Zhao Chunrong, but no one asked where Zhao Chunrong had fallen.
"Grandma, did you go out last night?"
Zhao Chunrong, whose thoughts had been exposed, caught her breath and guiltily avoided his gaze.
"I didn't go out."
Yan Liang stared intently at her; how could he not know she was lying?
Zhao Chunrong has a lot of bad intentions, but she's not very bright and is easy to understand.
"How did you sprain your ankle?"
“I slipped and fell when I got up to use the toilet, is that not allowed?” Zhao Chunrong raised her voice.
Yan Liang then asked, "Then why did the doctor say you were overly frightened?"
Zhao Chunrong grew impatient with his questions, so she simply lay down, closed her eyes, and stopped talking.
Yan Liang wanted to ask more questions, but then the ward door opened.
He thought it was Yan Shunzhong who arrived so quickly, but to his surprise, it was Yan Zhendong.
No matter how impatient Yan Zhendong was on the phone, he still acted very filial to Zhao Chunrong on the surface.
Without even saying hello, he rushed to his mother.
"Mom! I heard from Yanliang that you fell. Where did you fall? Let me see!"
As soon as Zhao Chunrong saw him, she felt wronged and couldn't hold back her tears.
"Second brother! You're finally back!"
"If you don't come back soon, Mom will be bullied to death!"
Yan Liang and Lu Caizhi exchanged a glance, both speechless.
With her personality, who in the village could bully her?
But upon hearing this, Yan Zhendong immediately questioned them without saying a word: "How did you take care of Mom? She's so old. If she falls and gets seriously injured, you'll be held responsible!"
Yan Liang scoffed, "Second Uncle, are you forgetful? When the family divided the property, it was agreed that Grandma would live with you. I called you before, but I heard you didn't give her any money for her old age?"
Yan Zhendong choked; this nephew was still just as rude.
When the two families split up, it was Yan Liang who came out to argue with him.
Zhao Chunrong dared not offend this eldest grandson, so she quickly pulled Yan Zhendong aside and cried, "What does this have to do with Yan Liang? I'm living with your wife now. Even if there's a mistake, it's Peng Xiufang's fault!"
Having finally met Yan Zhendong, she naturally had to seize the opportunity to complain.
Yan Zhendong frowned and glanced at Peng Xiufang, who was sitting silently to the side.
He hadn't been back to Changqing Village for a while, and when he saw her again, she seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Seeing that Peng Xiufang remained silent, he cleared his throat.
"How are you taking care of Mom? She's so old. If she falls and gets seriously injured, who will be responsible?"
Peng Xiufang kept her head down and remained silent, her mind preoccupied with the novel she hadn't finished reading.
The doctors all said Zhao Chunrong was fine and didn't need to be hospitalized at all.
Her disregard infuriated Yan Zhendong.
He jumped up and roared, "Speak up! Do you think you can shirk responsibility by pretending to be mute?"
Lu Caizhi sighed, "Second son, you're away from home most of the year, and Xiufang is all alone at home. It's normal that she can't take care of her. We agreed back then that Mom would live with you after the family split up, and this is a shared responsibility between you two."
Yan Zhendong retorted, "But aren't I making money outside?"
Yan Liang immediately retorted sarcastically, "What about the money that Second Uncle earned? I heard that you didn't even give Grandma her retirement money."
Yan Zhendong became guilty when money was mentioned.
His current wife is very strict; she gives Peng Xiufang 800 yuan every month, but they have to do it secretly.
"I gave the money to your second aunt!"
Peng Xiufang suddenly looked up. "You're not trying to say that the eight hundred yuan you gave me was your mother's retirement money, are you?"
Yan Zhendong avoided her gaze, and although he felt guilty, it didn't stop him from speaking loudly.
"So what if I am! I've taken care of you for so many years, isn't that enough? You've eaten my food, drunk my drink, and lived in my house all these years, I've been more than kind to you!"
Peng Xiufang stared at him blankly, unable to believe that such shameless words could come from his mouth.
"I had a job back then, but you told me to go home to prepare for childbirth, and you said you would support me!"
Yan Zhendong raised his hand and said, "We're talking about my mother right now, so don't bring up those other nonsense!"
Peng Xiufang fell silent, as if she had lost her soul, and lowered her head, no longer speaking.
Her silence only emboldened Yan Zhendong, who became increasingly rude and offensive.
His angry shouts echoed throughout the ward, but Peng Xiufang remained silent and did not refute him.
Zhao Chunrong stood tall and proud, a smug smile on his face.
Finally, a nurse came in and said, "Don't make loud noise in the ward and disturb the patient's rest."
Yan Zhendong then awkwardly shut up.
After the nurse left, the ward door opened again.
This time, it was Yan Shunzhong and Yan Sui who came in.
Their menacing demeanor made Yan Liang's heart skip a beat.
"Uncle, I was just about to say that my grandma just sprained her ankle, it's nothing serious, there's no need for her to make this special trip."
Yan Shunzhong gave him a cold glance. "I didn't come here to visit someone who is ill."
Yan Liang thought to himself, "As expected, Zhao Chunrong has caused trouble again!"
"What are you doing here if you're not visiting someone in the hospital? Second brother, tell them to leave, I don't want to see them!" Zhao Chunrong turned his back.
The moment she saw Yan Sui, she was reminded of the dirty things she had seen in the orchard the night before, and she felt very flustered.
Yan Zhendong was still somewhat intimidated by Yan Shunzhong, having been disciplined by him quite a bit when they were children.
"Brother Shunzhong, look at this...why don't you guys go back first?"
Yan Shunzhong raised his eyes. "No rush. I still have something to say. I'm sure you don't want to end up at the police station."
Upon hearing this, Yan Liang immediately glared at Zhao Chunrong, his eyes sharp and fierce.
"Grandma, what have you done now!"
Yan Zhendong looked displeased. "Yan Liang, how dare you speak to your grandmother like that!"
Before the matter has been fully understood, how can it be concluded that Zhao Chunrong caused the trouble?
Yan Sui took out her phone and showed the surveillance footage she had captured.
“Brother Yan Liang, last night Grandma sneaked into my orchard and mixed rat poison into my chicken feed. The evidence is conclusive. If you don’t admit it, I can get the police to come and talk to you.”
The expressions on the faces of the people in the ward all changed.
Peng Xiufang reacted the most strongly; Yan Sui was now the one paying her salary, so she was extremely grateful.
"Mom, how could you do such a thing! You're so wicked! You're heartless, rotten, and you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
