Chapter 458 Eat a Big Melon
Gao Mingwan didn't find out until the next day that his second brother had taken his grandmother to the hospital for treatment yesterday evening.
After hearing the news, he couldn't help but complain to Wang Xiuxiu.
"You said grandma is the same, her bones are all broken. When I went home to see her yesterday, I asked her how she was, and she smiled and said she was fine, and that she would be fine after lying down."
"I was careless too. I believed it after hearing it. My parents didn't notice it either, so how come my second brother found out? It's really strange. It's obvious that my second brother and grandma are not close!"
Gao Mingwan was puzzled and had no idea that Gao Mingcheng had used his ability to give out money to make Grandma Gao put aside her concerns and tell him the truth.
"Second brother... is a rough but meticulous person." Wang Xiuxiu made a pertinent comment.
She had little contact with Gao Mingcheng's people before, but collecting old items and training kindergarten teachers brought them together often, and during their casual chats, they naturally brought up Gao Mingcheng.
Based on Wang Xiuxiu's own observation, she felt that her second brother was a man who had the word "reliable" written all over him.
Gao Mingwan nodded and also felt that his second brother was quite reliable and a man with a rough but meticulous mind.
He said to Wang Xiuxiu, "Fortunately, as soon as I married you, we moved to the county together. You don't know how many times Mingli's wife and mother have fought!"
Wang Xiuxiu was surprised and immediately asked about the situation.
Gao Mingwan said: "My mother is not easy to get along with. She is very partial and likes my eldest brother's family. My eldest brother's family has long been separated and the fields and land have been divided, but there is no open separation, so their family has always eaten at my parents' house."
"My second brother and his wife had already separated from the family, and you and I live in the county, so it has nothing to do with it. Now that Mingli's wife is staying in the village, it is inevitable that there will be a quarrel."
"My mother asked Mingli's wife to work in the fields, raise chickens, and cook. It was fine at first, but later she found out that the rice and vegetables grown by my eldest brother's family belonged to them and sold them, and they didn't give the family any food money, so Mingli's wife became unhappy."
"She suggested that the two daughters-in-law take turns cooking and that she couldn't do it all by herself. As a result, the eldest sister-in-law said that she had to take care of the children and didn't have time to come to cook. The daughter-in-law was not a pushover. She scolded the eldest sister-in-law on the spot for not having time to cook but having time to come to eat. If she was so busy, she shouldn't come to eat."
"The two of them started arguing, and my mother favored my eldest sister-in-law, and the three of them had a huge fight. Later, Mingli's wife cried and said she wanted to go back to her parents' home, saying that my family had deceived her into marriage, and that we had said everything was fine during the blind date, but after we got married, we kept mistreating her."
"Later, there was no other choice, so my eldest brother and his family had to live and eat separately."
After eating this big melon, Wang Xiuxiu couldn't help but gasp.
She was relatively quiet, and quarrels among shrews were rare in the entire Wangjia Village, so if she stayed in the village, she really wouldn't be able to cope with this situation.
She couldn't help but say, "Jin Ling is amazing!"
Gao Mingwan smiled and said, "That's right! My mother saw that she was good at both housework and outside the home, and thought she was a capable person, so she asked to marry her!"
The couple smiled at each other and thought to themselves, this Zhang Jinling is not only good at work, but also good at arguing!
Gao Mingwan added: "Talk to your second sister-in-law about this in private, so that she doesn't know anything."
"Okay. It's getting late. Let's go to the hospital to visit grandma."
So the couple took some gifts and went to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Gao Shufang taking care of my grandmother.
Gao Mingwan looked around and asked, "Where's Mom?"
Gao Shufang said, "I came early this morning. Mom went back to rest. My second brother will take grandma back to the village in the afternoon."
Wang Xiuxiu put down the gifts she brought and asked Grandma Gao with concern how she felt.
Grandma Gao didn't interact much with her granddaughter-in-law, so she just smiled and said it was okay.
Gao Mingwan was unhappy and started talking about what happened yesterday.
"Grandma, aren't we your grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law? Why don't you tell us the truth? I went back to see you yesterday morning. If you said you had a broken leg, would I not send you to the hospital?"
"If you get cured sooner, you'll suffer less!"
When Grandma Gao heard her grandson's complaints, she looked embarrassed.
When Gao Shufang came to the hospital this morning, Grandma Gao had actually woken up, but she just didn't open her eyes. Then she heard Luo Xiaohua complaining to Gao Shufang about her.
They said that she had broken bones but she was stubborn and refused to say anything, allowing others to gossip about her and call them unfilial sons and daughters-in-law.
Grandma Gao felt very uncomfortable when she heard Luo Xiaohua's complaints.
Now hearing her grandson's complaints, she felt even more upset.
She was obviously thinking about everyone and didn't want to delay everyone's work, so she kept it a secret.
Did she do something wrong?
Gao Shufang was much more careful and immediately tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Third Brother! Grandma won't do this again! Grandma, right?"
Gao Shufang looked at her grandmother, her eyes full of encouragement.
Grandma Gao's heart instantly warmed up, and she remembered what Gao Shufang had said before: "Grandma, times have changed. Now our family is not short of money. If you have any illness, or want to eat or wear something, just tell me, and there will always be someone to satisfy you."
"Oh, I will tell you everything later." said Grandma Gao.
Everyone said that she was wrong, but in the end she was the one who suffered, so Grandma Gao simply listened to her granddaughter's advice and said whatever came up in the future openly.
Of course, Gao Shufang’s advice was one thing, and Gao Mingcheng’s domineering display of his ability to make money yesterday was another.
Grandma Gao knew that her grandsons were all doing well and that the second son Mingcheng was making money in business.
But she had no idea how much money Gao Mingcheng made.
It wasn't until yesterday that she saw the money in Gao Mingcheng's bag with her own eyes.
So much! So thick!
For a moment, Grandma Gao even felt that even if she asked to eat meat every day, it would not be a big deal.
However, eating meat every day is still too luxurious. It’s better to eat it once a week.
Grandma Gao's face showed a beautiful vision of the future.
At noon, Gao Mingcheng brought Luo Xiaohua to the hospital. They had eaten at home, and the lunch boxes they were carrying were for Gao Shufang and Grandma Gao.
Gao Shufang ate by herself while Luo Xiaohua fed Grandma Gao.
Chinese people believe in nourishing the body with like ingredients, so I stewed bone soup and fried a few refreshing side dishes for Grandma Gao to have a full meal.
Grandma Gao's upper body was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a large bone in her hand, which she was chewing with relish.
She was in a lot of pain yesterday, but after the injection, she is feeling much better today.
After dinner and a short rest, Gao Mingcheng went to find a doctor. If the doctor said she could be discharged from the hospital, he would go through the discharge procedures for Grandma Gao and send her back to the village to recuperate.
After meeting the doctor, Gao Mingcheng politely gave him a pack of expensive cigarettes.
After getting the cigarette, the doctor examined Grandma Gao with a good attitude, and then said: "When you go back, try to lie down and eat more nutritious food. The patient is old and heals slowly. Come back to remove the plaster after fifty days."
"I'll prescribe some painkillers for you. It might be a little painful when the bones grow. If it hurts a lot, just take a pill."
After the doctor gave clear instructions, Gao Mingcheng went to complete the discharge procedures and got some painkillers.
Grandma Gao's left thigh bone was broken, so it was more convenient for her to lie down than to sit. Gao Mingcheng did not borrow Xiao Jinfeng's jeep, but put Grandma Gao in the tractor's bed as usual.
There is a blanket on the truck bed, so people can lie on it without feeling too uncomfortable from the bumpy ride.
"I'll take grandma back to the village. You take the dishes home." Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Shufang. Gao Shufang had already packed up the dishes and was walking towards the clothing store with the washed dishes.
All the way back to Gaojia Village, Gao Mingcheng held Grandma Gao in his arms, while Luo Xiaohua followed behind holding the quilt.
Although this quilt has turned yellow and hardened over the years, it is impossible to throw it away.
A quilt like this can be sent to a cotton-fluffing plant to have the bad cotton removed and some new cotton added in. After it's fluffed again, it will still be fluffy and soft.
If it is not processed, it can also be used as a quilt. In short, it is useful.
As soon as they walked out of the yard, they heard women quarreling.
"Don't think that you can say whatever you want just because your parents like you because you are the eldest sister-in-law. If you say anything nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!" Zhang Jinling put her hands on her hips and said domineeringly.
Huang Su'e was not a timid person, and continued, "It was your fault in the first place. If grandma hadn't been driving away rat snakes for your chickens, would she have accidentally fallen? It's your own fault, and you don't want anyone to blame you?"
Zhang Jinling was so angry that she gasped and said, "Grandma only said that she saw a snake that wanted to eat chickens, but she didn't say whose chickens the snake wanted to eat!"
"What have I done wrong? Do I want grandma to fall? I think your mouth and heart are the most vicious!"
As she said that, she rushed forward and hit Huang Su'e.
The two sisters-in-law were having a huge quarrel. Zhang Jinling had lost her temper and from then on, Huang Su'e could no longer come over to eat the ready-made meals.
Later, Huang Su'e also found an opportunity to say that although the chicks raised by Zhang Jinling were bought by Zhang Jinling with her own money, the chicken feed they ate was from home.
Huang Su'e asked Zhang Jinling to spend her own money to buy bran, otherwise the chickens at home would not be considered Zhang Jinling's.
This made Zhang Jinling angry.
Zhang Jinling has been living a depressed life since she got married. Only the fact that she can raise chickens of her own can make her feel better.
But now Huang Su'e's behavior has touched her bottom line.
From then on, the two sisters-in-law were like water and fire.
Seeing the two daughters-in-law fighting inside, Luo Xiaohua became anxious and hurried in holding a quilt to stop them.
Gao Mingcheng was a little dumbfounded.
This is unscientific!
In her previous life, Zhang Jinling wasn’t so fierce!
Although Zhang Jinling and Gao Mingli's marriage was not very happy, it was okay. At least they lived an ordinary life.
Gao Mingcheng was puzzled and could only carry Grandma Gao into the yard.
