Thinking that she hadn't eaten either, and because of Zhou Jinghong's antics, she hadn't even had a chance to eat a single meat bun this morning.
Just as she was about to eat, the old lady placed two portions of food in front of her, as if afraid that the woman would eat them, and even protected them with her hands.
Seeing her like this, the people in the ward couldn't bear it. Everyone gets old; who doesn't get old eventually?
"What kind of daughter-in-law are you? Did your mother not have enough to eat when she was at home?"
"Judging from her appearance, she probably hasn't eaten meat in a long time."
The woman felt wronged. If the old lady had favored Zhou Jinghong, she wouldn't have treated her like this.
"Mom, I'm hungry too. Let me have a bite."
"You have hands and feet, go and make another copy. What, are you trying to take it from me, your patient?"
After she said that, everyone was watching, so the woman had no choice but to put down her chopsticks.
She was tempted by the braised pork and meat dumplings, but she couldn't bear to spend the money to buy another serving.
I could only watch the old lady eat, thinking that she definitely couldn't finish so much by herself.
It would have been the same if she ate the rest herself, but the old lady ate it all up.
The woman was furious; they didn't even leave her a drop of the braised pork broth.
The old lady ate and drank her fill and went to sleep, while the woman grumbled inwardly.
That night, she had just fallen asleep when the old lady shook her awake.
"Pour me some water, I want to drink water."
The woman had no choice but to get up and pour her water, but the old lady kept saying it was either too hot or too cold.
Chunxin wanted to torment her; she wished she could pour water on her face.
After finally getting her to drink the water, the woman was woken up again just as she had fallen asleep.
This time the force was even greater than before, and she almost fell off the chair.
"What's wrong now?"
"I need to use the restroom, can you help me?"
The woman had to help her to the toilet again; the old lady had slept too much during the day and didn't feel like sleeping much at night.
Besides, she just wanted to mess with her; she would drink water, then go to the toilet, and then drink water again.
This went on and on until the woman couldn't take it anymore. When she was told to stop drinking, she started yelling and screaming.
In order not to disturb anyone, the woman had no choice but to let her be, and the old lady did not fall asleep until five o'clock in the morning.
The woman looked at the old lady and thought that she was definitely doing it on purpose. She didn't believe that the old lady had done the same thing when Zhou Jinghong was with her.
The woman was right; the old lady didn't want to drink any water while Zhou Jinghong was with her.
I'm afraid that if he drinks too much, he'll wake up when he needs to go to the bathroom. How can he concentrate on his studies if he doesn't sleep well?
Zhou Jinghong went to the guesthouse early in the morning to find Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, and he brought gifts for each of them.
Only the round one has a gemstone; the others' are slingshots he made himself.
"Why are only the round ones different from us?"
The fourth brother asked unhappily, "I want the gems too." Zhou Jinghong looked at him.
"Gemstones are something only girls like."
Upon hearing this, the fourth brother stopped talking and accepted the gift from Zhou Jinghong. Everyone else also took out their gifts for Zhou Jinghong.
There are clothes, books, shoes, gloves, hats, scarves, and snacks.
Zhou Jinghong was deeply moved by these things, and Yuanyuan could tell from his expression that he hadn't changed.
She was still the same Zhou Jinghong, but why didn't he write to her for a whole month?
"Zhou Jinghong, why haven't you written to me?"
"ah?"
Zhou Jinghong thought that it wasn't that she hadn't replied to his message; he assumed she disliked him.
Ye Zhaozhao was right next to them when she heard this and spoke to Zhou Jinghong.
"Have you received the money and gifts that Yuanyuan sends you every month in addition to the letters?"
Zhou Jinghong shook his head. He hadn't received any of these. Who else knew about the letters you and Yuanyuan wrote to each other?
“My grandma knows.”
Suddenly, Zhou Jinghong realized something: it must have been his second aunt's family who did it.
"Yuanyuan, I'll come to see you again tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhou Jinghong ran off. He went to the hospital first, while his second aunt had already gone home.
He asked a nurse to help look after his grandmother, as he needed to go back to the village.
He guessed that his second uncle and aunt must have taken those things.
The woman walked for an hour before returning home, feeling both hungry and tired.
She hadn't slept all night and could barely open her eyes. When she went into the kitchen, she found that the meat buns were gone.
She grabbed a piece of hard bread and ate it. When the man saw her return, he hurried over.
"Honey, I saw someone come looking for Zhou Jinghong yesterday, and they were even driving a car."
"This guy driving this car must be someone important," the woman thought, looking at the man.
"Could it be your older brother?"
"Don't even mention it. He hasn't been back for ages. Besides, since he gave Zhou Jinghong to me as an adopted son, he has no intention of taking him back."
"Who could be looking for him?"
To the two of them, Zhou Jinghong was just a burden; they had their own biological son.
Even if they adopted Zhou Jinghong, they couldn't treat him as their own son.
So they usually wanted Zhou Jinghong to do the housework and chores.
But this little brat is very clever; he always manages to bully his two sons to death.
His own son was much older than him, and with the old lady spoiling him, the boy was becoming more and more unruly.
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a loud bang outside.
The two went out to look and saw Zhou Jinghong had returned.
His eyes seemed to want to devour them, and they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
