Ye Qingqing was not surprised; he was an ingrate at heart, and that was something that couldn't be changed.
Are you hungry? I'll go buy you something to eat.
Ye Qingqing guessed that the old lady hadn't eaten lunch, and that Gu Nianci had a performance today and didn't have time to come over.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble. Just make some porridge." Sister Wang was really hungry.
She had only had some plain porridge from the cafeteria for breakfast, but she hadn't had more than a few sips. She's a picky eater, and her family has to cook one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup for each person. If the food doesn't taste good, she definitely won't be able to eat it. Gu Nianci's millet porridge and fish soup are just what she likes. The cafeteria's porridge is cold and watery, and she really can't eat it.
But now she can't even get this little bit of thin soup; she's starving.
"I'll go out and buy it, I'll be right back."
"I'll give you the money." Sister Wang took out her bag.
"No."
Ye Qingqing strode out of the ward. It was just a meal, and she had already paid for most of it, so why would she care about such a small amount of money? She considered it an act of charity.
Sister Wang sighed and didn't insist, but her mind became even more determined.
Since her children are so unfilial, then she shouldn't blame herself for being heartless.
Ye Qingqing went to the best restaurant near the hospital. It had a special nutritious soup for patients. It was quite expensive, but the taste was very good. She bought a fish soup and a millet porridge, borrowed the restaurant's bowl to carry, and planned to return it to the restaurant later.
"Just eat this and it will be fine. My grandma will bring some over tomorrow."
Ye Qingqing raised the hospital bed for Sister Wang, then set up the dining table and laid out soup and millet porridge. Sister Wang was starving, and after finishing the soup and porridge, she finally felt comfortable.
"Thank you, it's all thanks to you for coming," Sister Wang said again.
Ye Qingqing smiled, cleared away the bowls and chopsticks and put them aside, then asked, "What did you call me here for?"
Sister Wang gave a wry smile, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "They haven't paid you for the medical expenses yet, have they?"
Ye Qingqing shook her head truthfully, confirming that no money had been transferred. The eldest son had sworn that he would transfer the money the next day, but three days had passed and not a single penny had been received.
Sister Wang sneered. She knew it would be like this. These unfilial bastards have no conscience at all.
"Maybe they're trying to raise money. Don't worry about it. Focus on getting better," Ye Qingqing comforted her.
She wasn't too bothered; ten thousand yuan wasn't much to her. But of course, she wasn't going to suffer this loss silently. Once Sister Wang was discharged from the hospital, she would sue the four siblings for owing her money. Even if she donated the money to impoverished mountain areas, she wouldn't let these four ungrateful wretches get away with it.
"I'm sorry you had to see this. I'll definitely pay you back. Qingqing, can you do me a favor?" Sister Wang pleaded.
"If you say it's possible, I definitely will," Ye Qingqing said, not giving a definitive answer.
Sister Wang took out a key from her bag and handed it to Ye Qingqing. "This is my house key. I can't leave right now. Could you help me go home and get something? It's under the bed in the bedroom; it's a small safe."
"Okay, do you want it now?"
"Okay, if you have time, go back and get it now," Sister Wang nodded.
Ye Qingqing took the key without asking any questions. She assumed that Sister Wang wanted to pay for the medical expenses herself, and that the safe must contain valuables such as bankbooks and gold jewelry.
Wang Jie's home is actually not far from the hospital; it used to be the staff quarters of the Grain Bureau. Both Wang Jie and her husband are retired employees of the Grain Bureau.
Ye Qingqing took a taxi and arrived in ten minutes. Following the address given by Sister Wang, she found her home, a two-bedroom, two-living-room house. The house wasn't very big, but it was very clean, and the balcony was full of vibrant flowers, showing that Sister Wang was a person with a great zest for life.
