"puff"
Gu Nianci couldn't help but laugh. She felt relieved. She used to think her granddaughter was too sharp-tongued, but now she understood. Luckily, Ye Qingqing was quick-witted. If it were her, who was clumsy with words, she wouldn't be able to say anything even if she wanted to, and she would be furious.
The second daughter was furious, but she couldn't refute it because she was indeed in her early forties, and Ye Qingqing was right.
But she still felt incredibly frustrated, utterly frustrated.
The eldest son stopped his second daughter with a look; if they continued making a scene, they would only embarrass themselves. The bill that Ye Qingqing presented was indeed correct; as a surgeon, he was certainly aware of the cost of bypass surgery.
"Thank you for saving my mother. My four siblings and I will come to thank you again in the future. We will also settle the medical expenses as soon as possible. Please leave us your account number." The eldest son said a few polite words.
He certainly won't renege on the medical expenses; he won't do anything to ruin his reputation. However, he can't pay for the medical expenses alone; at least the four siblings should split them equally.
Ye Qingqing provided an account number, not worried that these four ingrates would dare to renege on their debt. If they angered her, she would go to their workplaces and cause a scene to see if they would still pay her back.
"Um... thank you for your hard work. It's getting late, you should go back and rest. My siblings and I will take care of my mother." The eldest son began to urge them on.
There are some things that are inconvenient to say when outsiders are present.
Gu Nianci was worried. She didn't trust these four ungrateful wretches at all; they were all black-hearted and would never take care of anyone.
Ye Qingqing winked at her and said with a smile, "That would be great. I hope Grandma Wang recovers soon. I hope your care doesn't make her condition worse."
"Can't you speak properly, you little brat? That's our own mother!" The younger daughter, with her fiery temper, immediately flew into a rage.
Ye Qingqing shrugged and muttered under her breath, "I really didn't realize they were family. They're even more ungrateful than the kids I picked up outside."
"What are you saying..." The younger daughter rushed forward, ready to fight, but was stopped by her two sons.
Ye Qingqing stopped provoking them and left with Gu Nianci, saying to Sister Wang, "Grandma Wang, rest assured and get well soon. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
"Hey, be careful on the road." Sister Wang felt a pang of emptiness in her heart, reluctant to let Gu Nianci and her granddaughter leave.
She really had nothing to say to her four children, but since they were not related by blood, she couldn't be shameless enough to be disliked.
After leaving the ward, Ye Qingqing dragged Gu Nianci to the corner and hid. Peeking over, she saw that, as she expected, Liang Deping was furtively opening the door to check on things. Seeing that the corridor was empty, he closed the door.
"I'm worried about those four ungrateful wretches. Your Grandma Wang can't stand being mistreated, or something bad will happen to her," Gu Nianci grumbled on and on, clearly not at all at ease.
"Shhh."
Ye Qingqing gestured for her to be quiet, then tiptoed back, crouched down by the door, and eavesdropped on what those ingrates inside were saying.
If she wasn't mistaken, those four ingrates were definitely discussing medical expenses and duty roster arrangements.
really--
“We’ll split the medical expenses among the four of us,” the eldest son said.
“Why should we split it equally? I’ll only contribute a thousand at most. A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; a thousand is already more than enough for me,” the second daughter strongly objected.
The younger daughter chimed in, "I'll only get a thousand at most."
My second sister is so rich and she doesn't contribute, so why should she contribute more?
"The law stipulates that sons and daughters have equal obligations to support their parents. Don't bring up the idea that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; those have no legal effect," Liang Deping said grandly.
