Dong Wei, feeling uncertain after hearing his wife's words, suggested, "Why don't we call and ask my older sister?"
"Ask your second sister first, see if she knows anything about this," Yang Fei said, her eyes widening. She suspected that the two sisters had conspired to frame her and her husband.
Dong Wei: "When I went to pick you up, my second sister told me to hurry up and get the money reimbursed tomorrow. She probably doesn't know."
"Just ask!" Yang Fei put her hands on her hips, her chest heaving violently. She hadn't gone to Li Xingguo's workplace before, nor had she thought about reimbursing her medical expenses. She had just finished preparing all the paperwork and was about to submit it for reimbursement when her second aunt sent her husband to pick her up. In that short time, all the paperwork was lost. She didn't believe it was a coincidence; she was convinced that the two sisters had conspired to scheme against them.
Seeing that his wife was really angry, Dong Wei called Dong Lan.
Dong Lan had just finished cooking when she asked, "Little brother, has your wife come back yet?"
"You're back. Second sister, did you talk to eldest sister about reimbursing your brother-in-law's medical expenses?" Dong Wei's muffled voice came from behind.
"No, my older sister didn't contribute any money. Why would I tell her about this? What's wrong with that?" Dong Lan was completely confused. She didn't dare tell her older sister, afraid that her sister would be after the money. Her younger brother's family was about to fall apart. Returning some money would at least appease her sister-in-law.
"When I picked Yang Fei up, I found that all the receipts I had prepared were gone," Dong Wei told the truth.
"Gone? How could it be gone? Didn't you put it in the closet? Did a thief break into the house?" Dong Lan raised her voice.
“A thief broke in! An insider broke in! They stole the receipts! Second sister, I’m asking you, did you conspire with eldest sister to use me as a pretext to get this idiot out of the house so that eldest sister could take all the receipts and claim reimbursement herself? Do you think we’re morons?” Yang Fei snatched the phone from Dong Wei and questioned him rudely.
"I didn't, how could I do such a thing?" Dong Lan quickly explained, "I didn't even mention it to my older sister. Dong Wei is my own brother, how could I do something so inhuman? Even if I really wanted to give the money to my older sister, I would discuss it with my younger brother in person."
"Discuss? Is Dong Wei an idiot? No matter who you consult, he won't agree. We've been taking care of Li Xingguo for over a month, paying his medical bills, acting as his caregivers, and we haven't even done any work like feeding or drinking him. Even a biological son wouldn't be treated like this. And Dong Wei even said he'd give you half of the money we got back. What more do you want from your brother? How can you scheme against him like this? Do you have any conscience?" Yang Fei was truly furious. Now she felt that the two sisters were the ones plotting against them.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't, I really didn't. I'm Dong Wei's older sister, how could I do such a thing?" Dong Lan was both angry and anxious. How could she do such a thing? Her older sister and younger brother were both her family, and in her heart they were the same.
"Second sister, you don't need to be stubborn. I'm going to find Dong Yun right now. If you're not guilty, you can come over too, and the three of us can confront each other. This amount of money is a lot for our family; it's our life savings. But it's worth it to see the true colors of you sisters through this money." Yang Fei hung up the phone, his whole body throbbing with anger.
Dong Wei squatted on the ground, holding his head. Only his eldest sister had the key to their house, so the receipts were useless to others. He couldn't find any excuses that weren't for his eldest sister.
"Dong Wei, these reimbursement documents must have been taken by your eldest sister. I'm asking you now, what are you thinking?" Yang Fei glared at Dong Wei, demanding an explanation from him. If Dong Wei still considered his heartless sister-in-law as family, then he might as well give up on living with her.
"Wife, I'll listen to you from now on," Dong Wei said sullenly.
"Alright, Dong Wei, we have to get to the bottom of this today. Whether these two sisters conspired to cheat us or Dong Yun herself came up with this scheme, I have to find out. Even if I destroy those receipts, I won't let your older sister get away with it. If you dare to stop me, we'll get a divorce." Yang Fei stood up, his hands trembling with anger, and looked at Dong Wei.
