Chapter 418
"Look at you, you useless guy. If you're hungry, go buy me breakfast."
Old Master Xu was speechless. How could he raise such useless sons?
"Dad, I don't have any money. They will definitely come to deliver breakfast later."
Xu Sangang really had no money, and his wife was in charge of the finances, otherwise he would not have been able to starve himself.
"Okay then, let's wait."
Mr. Xu doesn't want to get used to them. If he continues to subsidize them with his own money, they will definitely become more aggressive.
So the father and son waited anxiously, occasionally glancing at Tang Wan.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Xu Sangang would snatch his wontons, Lu Huaijing ate two at a time and finished dozens of wontons in just a few bites.
He has a very good appetite and seems to be recovering well.
On the contrary, Tang Wan drank her soup slowly, which made Xu Sangang angry and said:
"Some people really don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. They enjoy eating alone..."
"San Gang, shut up!"
Old Master Xu scolded Xu Sangang, "She doesn't owe us anything, and I'm not an elder in her family."
He looked at Tang Wan apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Tang, it's San Gang who can't speak."
"It's okay. I don't mind."
Tang Wan still had a good impression of Mr. Xu. It was already past eight o'clock and no one had come yet.
Tang Wan couldn't help but ask, "I don't know when your family will come to deliver breakfast.
The old man is a patient, he can't just sit there hungry. Aren't your family members very filial? Why didn't anyone come?"
"None of your business."
Xu Sangang was exposed by Tang Wan and felt very embarrassed. He said to his father stubbornly:
"Dad, even if others don't come, my wife will definitely come, let's wait a little longer."
"I hope so."
Old Master Xu snorted coldly, "If I had known you were unreliable, I would have just kept hiring that nurse.
At least I won’t be hungry or cold, and I can have a few bites of hot food.”
"Dad, what are you talking about? There are so many people in our family, we can't give the money to others.
We will take good care of you and won’t let you go hungry.”
Xu Sangang felt very embarrassed. Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing had already finished eating and even washed the dishes cleanly.
Tang Wan raised her hand and glanced at her watch. "It's almost half past eight. Are you hungry, old man?"
"Of course I'm hungry."
Mr. Xu sighed in agreement, "You are such an unfilial son and grandson. You are so lucky without Xiao Lu.
When my husband was still alive, we had such a good relationship, but unfortunately..."
"Dad, San Gang, I'm here."
Xu Laosan's wife came in carrying an aluminum lunch box. She was yawning lazily, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
"Why are you here so late?"
Xu Sangang was very dissatisfied and spoke in a very bad tone. Naturally, his wife didn't want to be treated like that.
"Our home is so far from the hospital. I came to bring you food early in the morning. What's your attitude?"
"Dad is hungry."
Xu Sangang was still angry, "This is our father, how can we starve him?"
After saying that, he opened the aluminum lunch box. Tang Wan glanced at it and was speechless.
Because there was a row of sweet potatoes in the aluminum lunch box.
Yes, it was cooked sweet potatoes, and this was their breakfast.
Not to mention Mr. Xu, Xu Sangang's face darkened as soon as he opened the lunch box, "Dad is a patient, can't you do better?"
Compared with other people's wontons, it seems like abusing his father.
"I can barely afford to cook at home, how can I cook anything good?"
Xu Laosan's wife curled her lips. She was obviously very dissatisfied as she had not seen a penny from her old man yet.
Xu Sangang choked, "At least you have to cook an egg for Dad. Dad is sick now and needs nourishment."
"No, if you want to eat, you have to pay."
Xu Laosan's wife said this to Xu Laosan, but she was actually looking at Xu Laoyezi.
Obviously he has to pay for his own food.
Mr. Xu was not angry either. He took a sweet potato and started eating it, "Forget it.
I know your conditions, just eat sweet potatoes."
"Dad is still considerate of us."
Xu Laosan's wife smiled, but she didn't expect her husband to say the next second:
"I have a little money saved anyway, so I can just ask someone to buy it for me.
Don't come here anymore in the future. Now that you are grown up, you should take good care of your children and earn more money.
Don’t be like me, incompetent and unable to give you anything…”
Tang Wan almost laughed out loud at what Mr. Xu said, but she tried her best to hold it back.
Sure enough, I saw the dark faces of Xu Sangang and his wife.
Xu Sangang slapped his wife in the face and said, "This is my father.
You're just fooling him for being sick. Go, go to the cafeteria and buy some eggs!"
"I see."
Xu Laosan's wife covered her face and left the ward with a wronged look on her face. It seemed that she could really endure it for the sake of money.
Tang Wan watched the whole show in vain, seeing that Old Man Xu ate half of a sweet potato and left it there.
Until his third daughter-in-law bought five eggs, which were eaten by Mr. Xu in one go.
"Dad, I'll borrow some money to buy eggs for you to cook tomorrow."
Xu Sangang's wife said this on purpose, and Xu Sangang had a stern face.
"You still have to talk to Dad about this. As long as Dad is fine, it doesn't matter if we save a little."
However, Mr. Xu seemed not to have noticed the couple's plan and turned to ask Tang Wan.
"Doctor Tang, I have a very bland mouth. Can you give me another pack of your malt extract?"
He took out a handful of money, which made Xu Sangang and his wife, who had just looked resentful, suddenly brighten their eyes.
"Of course."
Tang Wan smiled and took out a handful of unopened maltose, all of which were given to Lu Huaijing by his comrades and leaders.
Lu Huaijing couldn't finish all of it by himself, so he just left it there.
"Thank you."
Mr. Xu gave the money to Tang Wan, and Tang Wan was not polite, but Xu Sangang's wife was a little dissatisfied.
"It doesn't cost that much outside, why is your malted milk more expensive than the one sold at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
“The price is good.”
Tang Wan had a stern face. She was not used to people like Xu Sangang's wife, otherwise she would definitely take advantage of her.
Sure enough, after being scolded by Tang Wan, she immediately behaved herself.
Instead, it was Master Xu who smiled at Tang Wan and said, "Xiao Tang, please make me a cup."
"Dad, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Xu Sangang's wife stepped forward very actively and poured some maltose into the cup with some pain.
It's like eating her flesh, even though this thing clearly belongs to my grandfather.
But what they can be sure of is that the old man must have money.
"Dad, it's done."
Xu Sangang placed the malt milk in front of his grandfather with eager eyes and pursed his lips gently.
"I've never tasted malt milk this good."
Tang Wan almost laughed out loud. The way he wanted something was just like a child.
No wonder Mr. Xu looked down on them.
"oh."
Mr. Xu seemed not to understand and drank slowly. After finishing the drink, he put the malted milk into the bedside cabinet beside him.
