Ning Zhengtao sighed and said earnestly, "Haozi, Grandpa is saying this for your own good. How old are you? People your age around us are already married and have children. It's not that Grandpa doesn't like Jiang Qiao."
"But the current situation simply doesn't allow it. Grandpa knows you're a loyal and compassionate child, but even if there's been a debt of gratitude, it can't be repaid in this way."
Ning Hao said solemnly, "Grandpa, I'm not repaying a debt of gratitude, you must understand that. I like Jiang Qiao, and that's a fundamental difference."
There are many ways to repay a debt of gratitude; I don't need to gamble with my lifelong happiness like this.
Zhu Lin sighed, "Haozi, Grandma won't say anything. Since you've made up your mind, then you should be mentally prepared. Whatever you do, Grandma will support you."
Although what your grandfather said makes sense, it's inherently difficult to be a good person, and it's remarkable that you can still stick to your original aspirations at this time.
They say it's easy to have good intentions at the beginning, but difficult to maintain them. Having such a loyal and devoted grandson like you makes Grandma truly proud.
Ning Zhengtao glared at Zhu Lin, displeased that his wife was contradicting him. "What's wrong with you, old woman? This is a matter of lifelong happiness for our child. Why are you saying such nonsense?"
Zhu Lin snorted, "You've always been right, and I've listened to you, but which of our children can do what Haozi did?"
When I had my accident, which child came to see me and worried about me? Was I, as their mother, cold or hungry?
But it's Jiang Qiao, who's not related to us at all, just a neighbor. How did he do it? People should have a conscience.
Haozi hasn't even done anything yet, and you're already starting to disagree?
The Gu family hasn't agreed yet, so don't worry. They won't hand their daughter over to anyone else at this time, not even our Haozi. You heard that too.
But how can you object to your grandson being like this? Will he turn out like our children? It would be better to kill me; if that happens, where will I find hope for the future?
Ning Zhengtao muttered, "The kids have all changed for the better now, it's just not their time yet."
"You know it's not time yet. Jiang Qiao will naturally wake up when the time comes. I firmly believe that. It's just a matter of time. We can't help our grandson, so let's not say such discouraging things."
Haozi is young, but he understands the value of true feelings better than anyone else. Why is he so loyal and affectionate?
Because those people genuinely care about our child, Jiang Qiao is worth Haozi's patience and devotion.
Ning Zhengtao sighed, "Fine, I've become the villain. Since the child insists, I won't say anything more. Whether it's bitter or sweet, a blessing or a curse, you can't blame anyone else later."
Ning Hao smiled happily, "Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't regret it. Jiang Qiao deserves to be treated this way."
Jiang Qiao, who was away from home, had no idea that she was now causing quite a few family conflicts.
Even if she knew, she could only sigh helplessly; she was powerless to change her situation now.
People came and went to see Jiang Qiao, but as they left, they all sighed silently, lamenting the loss of such a beautiful child.
While some were disappointed, others were secretly delighted. Zhao Jianjun was even reminiscing with his family about it.
"Without Jiang Qiao by my side to keep me entertained, I feel like I'm losing some of my motivation to study."
Zhao's father glared at his son and said, "Let me tell you, you're going to take the college entrance exam next year. You can't let me down at this time. You should work even harder than Jiang Qiao."
Yin Jiaqi is already in college, you can't let her down at this time. That girl has a good character and is the ideal candidate for a daughter-in-law.
It's such a pity about Jiang Qiao. I heard that kid is going to take the college entrance exam this year. Sigh, man proposes, God disposes.
Li Meilan and Song Lianfeng shared the same sentiment. With Jiang Qiao down, they had no one left to gossip about. When they came to visit Jiang Qiao, they also felt sad.
Looking at Wen Jingwan, everyone was at a loss for how to comfort this mother.
You said this had happened before, but the child recovered in about half a month.
However, several months have passed and there has been no news. It seems that the rumors are true and that this person is probably really not going to make it.
Faced with everyone's sympathetic looks and inquiries, the family members eventually got used to it and continued living their lives as usual.
The only thing Wen Jingwan and the others didn't expect was that Ning Hao left and then came back.
Seeing the clothes on the child, Wen Jingwan understood everything.
She pounded Ning Hao's shoulder forcefully. "You silly child, how could you be so foolish? Didn't I already explain things to you? Focus on your career, what are you doing? You're driving me crazy! If Qiao'er knew you were like this, she'd be furious enough to wake her up! You're just like your mother, so stubborn—"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, happy that her daughter had met such a kind-hearted person.
At the same time, she felt heartbroken. If the children were alright, she wouldn't care what Ning Hao did, as long as the children were happy.
But with her daughter in this state, how can a mother like her be happy?
Ning Hao grinned foolishly, "Auntie, I'm glad you don't mind. I'll go in and check on Qiao'er, then I'll go back later. I haven't even gotten home yet."
Wen Jingwan sighed, "You child, no matter what I said before, you wouldn't listen. Don't your grandparents know you're back yet?"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "I told my grandma that my grandpa is a bit stubborn. Once there's no hope, he won't say anything more."
After putting down his package, Ning Hao went into the house and pulled Jiang Qiao, who was lying on the bed, aside to report his situation.
"We've got a deal. When you wake up, you can't dislike me, okay? If you don't wake up, that's fine too. I'll take care of you. I'll go to work and earn money for you to spend."
Wen Jingwan wiped away her tears. "Someone like you, is this how you get a job?"
Ning Hao nodded. "Yes, but we'll have to wait a few days to find out. I don't know where we'll be going for now either. Auntie, has Qiao'er changed recently?"
Wen Jingwan shook her head in distress. "There's been no progress at all. I'm worried too. It's been so long, and there's still no sign of her waking up."
"However, since that's the case, we'll take good care of them. You should go back quickly and have a good talk with your grandfather and the others. When the elderly are angry, you should be patient; ultimately, they're doing it for your own good."
Jian Ling, who was helping with the cooking in the kitchen, understood everything about Ning Hao's attire.
While cooking, she sighed, "Jiang Qiao, you are so lucky to have such a sincere man for you. I hope you get better soon. Seeing your parents and your grandfather like that, even I, an outsider, feel sorry for them."
