After exchanging only a few words with her eldest daughter, Sister Wang's expression grew increasingly somber. Finally, she said, "Your work is important. Just hire a caregiver for me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, sighed softly, and looked even older.
Ye Qingqing's anger flared even more, but she still forced herself to suppress her voice, "It's fine if I don't come to take care of you, but I should at least come to the hospital to complete the procedures, right?"
At least the medical expenses should be paid back to her; otherwise, she won't pay for these ungrateful people.
They're all busier than the president; they must be making a lot of money. They have to pay her back.
Sister Wang smiled and said, "I'll take care of it myself. Could you please bring me my bag?"
She was referring to her handbag. Gu Nianci brought it to her, and Ye Qingqing handed it to her. After rummaging around for a while, she pulled out a bank card.
"The password is six 6s, and there should be enough money in there for the medical expenses." Sister Wang handed over the passbook, her eyes filled with concern. This hospitalization would definitely cost a lot of money.
Ye Qingqing took the card, her brows furrowing even more. The forlorn and distressed look in Sister Wang's eyes had made her feel very uncomfortable. On the night of the competition, she had disliked the old lady, finding her sharp-tongued, unreasonable, and difficult to get along with.
But now, she feels sorry for Sister Wang.
Sister Wang's children are not as filial as she boasts. Although she hasn't called her youngest daughter yet, Sister Wang doesn't even mention her. It's easy to imagine that they are not much better than her three older siblings; they are just as ungrateful.
Outsiders think Sister Wang is blessed, with all four of her children being successful, which brings her honor. But only Sister Wang herself knows the truth; she knows the bitterness and sweetness of life.
“Okay, I’ll go get it for you. Are you hungry? My grandma will be here soon, so even if you’re hungry, just bear with it,” Ye Qingqing said.
Sister Wang nodded gratefully, a little embarrassed, and mumbled, "It's too much trouble, I can just buy food at the hospital cafeteria."
“My grandma said the food in the cafeteria isn’t nutritious, so she’ll make you fish soup. The doctor said drinking fish soup is good for your recovery.”
Ye Qingqing did not object to Gu Nianci's goodwill. Sister Wang was indeed pitiful, all alone. Since they had gotten involved, they had to see it through to the end and not give up halfway.
But one must leave one's name when doing good deeds; this is a principle.
Ye Qingqing dislikes nothing more than doing good deeds anonymously, being an unknown hero, and even suffering misunderstandings, which makes her feel extremely wronged.
She couldn't stand such injustice, doing good deeds only to be criticized; she wasn't that saintly.
She hadn't thought about repaying anyone, nor did she care about gratitude. But she couldn't stand being wronged, so she was determined to make sure Sister Wang understood what she and Gu Nian had done.
"Thank you... I..." Sister Wang's expression was moved, and she was also a little ashamed. After a long while, she whispered, "I'm sorry..."
"Alright, these are all trivial matters, nothing compared to human lives. I'm going to get the money."
Ye Qingqing was always tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Seeing that Sister Wang's hair was gray, her face was full of wrinkles, and she had four unfilial children, her heart softened. She tucked Sister Wang in and went out to get the money.
Gu Nianci happened to walk in, and the grandmother and granddaughter bumped into each other.
"You're awake! It's time for fish soup. I simmered it for two hours on low heat. It's as white as milk, fresh, and nutritious. I'll pour it into your bowl."
Seeing that Sister Wang was in good spirits, Gu Nianci was very happy. She opened the lid of the thermos and poured out a small bowl of milky white fish soup, which looked very tempting.
"I'll feed you."
Gu Nianci was very patient, feeding Wang Jie bite by bite, and then remembered to ask, "Qingqing, have you contacted Wang Jie's children?"
