Yan Zheng moved his hand slightly, but unfortunately, Grandma Yan was old and her cells weren't as sensitive as before. She was still muttering to herself as she talked to Yan Zheng.
Yan Erqiang interrupted Grandma Yan's nagging: "Mom, why did you come to the capital? Where are you staying? We have nowhere to stay right now. Can you stay with me?"
Grandma Yan nodded: "Erqiang, you didn't receive Nannan's telegram, did you? Ai Dang is getting married next month and wants you to come to Beijing for the wedding. But now that Yan Zheng is like this, one of you has to stay here to take care of him."
Neither the couple spoke, but Yan Ge said, "Grandma, I'm staying at the hospital to take care of my younger brother."
Grandma Yan sighed inwardly. She decided to let it go. Children and parents are bound by fate, and if they don't get along, they don't get along. There's no way to resolve it. She was already over fifty and couldn't do anything about it.
"Then you'll come back with me today, but I have to tell you this upfront: the place you're living in now is Nan Nan's house, so you'll have to move out after Ai Dang gets married, or don't blame me for kicking you out with a carrying pole." Grandma Yan made her words clear from the start.
"What? Nan Nan bought a house in Beijing? Where did that little girl get the money? It's all yours, old man! You're so biased!" Cai Min couldn't help but exclaim.
"So what if I'm biased? You can stay or not, it's up to you. Who's going to spoil you?" Grandma Yan said angrily.
Yan Erqiang slapped him across the face: "Whether it's my mother's money or Nannan's money, it's none of your business. If you want to stay, stay; if not, get out."
Cuihua rolled her eyes. Here we go again. This Erqiang is hopeless.
Cai Min slapped Yan Erqiang across the face: "Fine, I won't stay. Give me back my money and I'll leave right away. Who cares about you anymore?"
Yan Erqiang immediately fell silent. Yan Ge glanced at them sideways and said, "Grandma, there's a guesthouse near the hospital. I'll go and book a room for them to stay there. It'll be more convenient for them to take care of Yan Zheng."
Yan Daqiang nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll pay for it."
Cai Min rolled her eyes: "I want to live with my mother. I'll live wherever she lives. Besides, my mother has a house in the capital. How can she let her son live in a guesthouse? There's no reason for that anywhere."
Cuihua retorted angrily, "That's not Mother's house. The property deed has Nannan's name on it."
"Of course you'd say that. Who is Nan Nan? She's your daughter. Of course you'd side with that little brat. Don't you even consider how old your daughter is? Does she have the money to buy a house in Beijing? Why don't we go out and talk to her and see if that makes sense?"
Grandma Yan was really angry: "Let me tell you, this house belongs to Nan Nan. No matter whose money it is, I'm putting Nan Nan's name on it. What are you going to do about it!"
When Yan Erqiang saw that his mother was really angry, he kicked Cai Min and said, "We'll get a divorce when we get back to Chuncheng."
"Fine, let's get a divorce, right now! But before the divorce, you have to give me back my money, and that house, it's half mine too. You think you can bring that vixen into the house? You're dreaming!" Cai Min yelled.
The room fell silent as soon as he said that. Everyone stared at Yan Erqiang in surprise, wondering what he meant.
Yan Erqiang's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, but he stammered and couldn't say a word.
Yan Daqiang made up his mind: he would rather spend more money to book a room at a guesthouse than bring those two troublesome kids to his mother's place to cause trouble.
Grandma Yan also gave up the idea of letting them live in the courtyard house, and patted Yan Zheng's hand: "Good grandson, wake up quickly, come to Grandma's when you wake up."
Yan Zheng and Cuihua went out to deliver milk: "Grandma, something happened at home. I'll tell you when Yan Zheng wakes up."
Grandma Yan nodded: "Child, you are a good person, but you have to take care of your younger brother. It's most important for him to wake up as soon as possible. I'll have Nan Nan come to see him tomorrow, and you can talk to him more."
Yan Daqiang went to the guesthouse to book a room, but to his surprise, all the rooms were full, as people were there to accompany the injured at the hospital.
Yan Daqiang hurriedly told Baoguo to check other guesthouses and book a room if there was one available. An hour later, Baoguo returned disappointed. This was troublesome. The hospital stipulated that only one person could accompany the patient in the room. Today was the first day and they could make an exception, but it wouldn't be possible tomorrow.
Night fell quickly, and Yan Ge took out two yuan and gave it to Yan Erqiang: "Go to the canteen and get some food to eat, then go find the nurses and borrow two reclining chairs. You can sleep here tonight."
Just as Yan Erqiang was about to reach out, Cai Min intercepted him midway: "I'm going to get food. If I give him money, it'll just end up in that vixen's pocket again."
Yan Ge was furious: "Mom, can't you be a little more careful when you're out? Would you be happy if you killed Dad?"
Cai Min sneered triumphantly, "Son, congratulations on getting it right." After saying that, she took out her lunchbox and went to get the food. She decided to eat one portion herself first and then get another portion for Yan Ge. As for that bastard, he deserved to starve to death.
The next afternoon, Ye Chen'er and Yan Xiaonan returned home to find the courtyard deserted. They went to the north room to find their grandmother, but the door to the north room was locked with a large padlock, as were the doors to their own and Chen'er's room.
The two exchanged a glance, wondering if something had happened at home. They returned to the courtyard, but the kitchen door was locked. However, they could hear their grandmother and mother's voices coming from the west wing. The two quickly pushed the door open and went inside.
"Grandma, Mom, Auntie," the two called out in unison.
When Grandma Yan saw that it was Guabao and her granddaughter-in-law returning, her eyes lit up with a smile: "Guabao and Chen'er are back. You must be tired. Go wash your hands and have something to eat. Cuihua, go to the kitchen and unlock that lock. Get the two children something to eat and drink."
Cuihua hurried to the kitchen, and Yan Xiaonan asked her grandmother suspiciously, "Grandma, what's wrong at home? Why are all the doors locked?"
"That's what your dad locked. When he's not home, he lets me and Cuihua chat in the west wing. When he's home, he doesn't lock the north wing. Your second uncle and aunt have come to the capital. Yan Zheng is injured and unconscious. I promised Yan Zheng that you could go home to see him today."
Grandma Yan was afraid that Yan Xiaonan wouldn't understand, so she told the two of them what had happened at the hospital, along with what Cai Min had said. After Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er finished listening, they both sighed. Their second uncle's family must be ruined.
“Baby, your uncle said all the guesthouses outside are full. Grandma is feeling anxious. What if they check in?” Grandma Yan heard from Daqiang that the nearby guesthouses were already full.
"Grandma, if there's nowhere for them to stay outside, then we have to let them stay here, otherwise it's morally wrong." Yan Xiaonan wasn't worried about this problem. She figured that if she let a little leopard come down, it would scare them to death.
Seeing Yan Xiaonan's nonchalant attitude, Grandma Yan felt relieved. With Nannan at home, what was there to be afraid of?
“But where are we going to put them? Their rooms are for Chen’er’s parents.” Cuihua really hates them now.
