Chapter 439
Li Yueniang looked at her unconscious son on the bed, her face filled with worry. "Oh my! How could this happen? Can anyone go up to this guesthouse?"
“It’s so hard to get back…”
Liao Fengmei came in with hot water and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry too much. The police have taken over and will catch the bad guy soon."
Xu Weihua was lying on another hospital bed, sound asleep. Listening to Li Yueniang's nagging, he muttered in a daze, "Don't make any noise, I want to sleep a little longer."
Li Yue Niang fell silent instantly, stood up, walked to Xu Weihua, and held the quilt for her.
Su Qingci rode her bicycle to Pingkang Hospital. She only knew that it was on the second floor and didn't know the room number, so she could only look for it room by room. She finally found room 227. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Yueniang holding a finger to her mouth.
"Shh~"
Su Qingci lowered her voice, "What's going on? This is a couple who both lost their home and ended up in the hospital?"
Li Yueniang pulled Su Qingci to the window and lowered her voice, "The comrades from the Public Security Bureau said they were sent in by the guesthouse next to the train station at around three or four in the morning. They said their room was on fire and the couple jumped from the building."
Su Qingci's eyes widened. "Fire? Doesn't this guesthouse use electricity? There's no need to light a lamp or warm a fire. My dad doesn't even smoke. How could there be a fire? Was it an electrical fire?"
Li Yue Niang shook her head. "We'll have to wait until your parents wake up to find out the details. From what the police officer said, it seems it was intentional. The door was locked from the outside, and there were traces of oil poured on the door."
"The police officer even stopped me and questioned me for a long time, asking me who the couple had offended. They were the ones who informed me about the meeting, so how could I know? It was so frustrating."
Li Yue Niang was completely confused. Such a bad thing happened just after she landed. She wondered if the couple had some conflict with others in the car or at the station and were targeted.
"What's the situation now? Is it serious?" Su Qingci raised her chin and nodded towards the person on the hospital bed.
"Your mom is better. She dislocated her wrist and had some scrapes. The bones have been reattached. Your dad wasn't as lucky. His left leg and ribs are broken. His abdomen and thighs are scratched by glass. His arms and back are also burned."
Li Yue Niang was so worried that her face was gloomy. Her youngest son was still not well, and something like this had happened to her eldest son. She was almost scared to death.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. If something really happened, she would regret it to death.
"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. Have you eaten?" Su Qingci asked, raising her wrist to check the time.
"Not yet." Li Yue Niang shook her head.
Su Qingci patted her grandmother's shoulder and said, "Shall I go buy it? Or you and your aunt can go back first, and I can just stay here and watch over it?"
Li Yue Niang was silent for a moment, "Go buy it. After you finish eating, let your aunt go back first. There is a whole family at home. I will wait until your father wakes up before we talk."
Liao Fengmei waved her hands quickly, "Qingci, just buy the ones for you and mother. I'll go back and eat them so as not to waste money."
Liao Fengmei was afraid that Li Yueniang might misunderstand her after she finished speaking, so she quickly explained, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are back too, so I just happened to go back and clean up. There are so many children at home, and it's a mess. I want to avoid inconvenience for my eldest brother and sister-in-law when they return."
Li Yue Niang thought of Su Changqing's injuries and realized that he would have to lie in bed for a long time if he returned, and he couldn't even squeeze in.
"Okay, don't worry too much. It will probably take several days before you can be discharged from the hospital."
Su Qingci called out to Liao Fengmei, "Then come with me, auntie."
After seeing Liao Fengmei off, Su Qingci found a secluded alley and entered the farm.
He made stir-fried beans and meat for himself and Li Yue Niang, fried an egg for each of them, and made fish soup and egg pancakes for Xu Weihua and Su Changqing.
It was an hour later when Su Qingci appeared in the ward again.
At this time, the couple in the room had woken up. Su Changqing wanted to faint after waking up. He felt pain in his chest, stomach, feet, and burn pain on his back. His leg was broken and he couldn't move, and it was also pressing on the wound on his back. He felt like he was worse than death.
However, Xu Weihua had already gotten out of bed and was moving around.
Seeing Su Qingci coming in, Xu Weihua smiled, "Qingci~"
"Dad, Mom, are you awake?"
Xu Weihua walked towards Su Qingci, his eyes fixed on the large box in her hand. "Yes, I woke up hungry. What food did you bring?"
"I brought egg pancakes and fish soup for you and dad, and the rice is for grandma and me."
Xu Weihua's eyes lit up, "Is there rice? I want to eat rice."
Li Yue Niang smiled and said, "I'll have the egg pancake, the soft one. Give me the soup. I'll feed it to Chang Qing first."
"I'm fine, Dad. Are you feeling better? Does it hurt a lot?"
Su Changqing was very happy to see his daughter, and he forced a smile despite the pain, "Qingci, you have grown taller, become braver, and your voice has become louder."
Li Yue Niang sat down beside the bed with the soup and fed it to Su Changqing. Su Qingci chatted with him for a few words and then walked to the other side to prepare for dinner.
Xu Weihua had already started eating. "After frying the egg, split it with a spatula, then add garlic and chili peppers and stir-fry them. Add a little vinegar. It's sour and spicy, and it goes really well with rice."
Su Qingci's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly froze. Her eyes subconsciously swept over Xu Weihua's gesture of holding the chopsticks, and sure enough, his little finger was raised high.
Adding vinegar to fried eggs with chili peppers and sticking the little finger high are Ms. Xu Jia's habits.
"What's wrong? Eat." Xu Weihua saw Su Qingci looking at him and hurriedly greeted her.
She was not very close to her two children. When they were young, the original owner was immersed in work and left all matters concerning the children to Li Yue Niang.
When she came over later, the child was no longer close to her. Plus, she was lazy and just wanted to make herself as comfortable as possible. She didn't even want to take care of her own children. Plus, Su Qingci and her siblings were independent enough, so she didn't have any chance to show her motherly love.
Su Qingci came back to her senses, "Oh, do you want some soda? Or should I go downstairs and buy two bottles of Beibingyang?"
Xu Weihua shook his head, "What are you drinking? No, it won't taste good unless it's chilled."
"Yes, soda should be drunk iced. Iced Coke is my favorite."
Xu Weihua paused for a moment, then scooped some chili peppers into his bowl as if nothing had happened.
"Cola? Is that a soda? That's a nice name."
Su Qingci glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and said, "Yes, I drank it in Xiangnan."
“I like to watch TV series while eating.”
Xu Weihua looked at Su Qingci with curiosity, "What are you doing chasing dramas again?"
