Lin Xiaocui stared wide-eyed in surprise when she saw Luo Chunlei come out of the house.
"Why didn't you go to school?" she asked, puzzled.
Luo Hao thought to himself that since Luo Chunlei was with Lin Xiaocui, he didn't need to worry anymore. So he patted Luo Chunlei on the shoulder and went to work with the foreman.
Luo Chunlei pushed his bicycle out, saying as he went, "My stomach was a little upset this morning, so I didn't go to school, but I'm fine now. With my learning ability, missing a day of class won't have much of an impact."
Lin Xiaocui rolled her eyes and followed. He should be dying of stomach pain. He's sick and instead of lying at home, he has to show off.
However, judging from his rosy complexion and brisk gait, there was no indication that he had any health problems!
"What are you waiting for? Get on the bike!" Luo Chunlei pushed off the ground with his feet, making a riding motion.
Lin Xiaocui hurriedly caught up and gently sat down in the back seat.
Wang Xu and Luo Chunlei would ride bicycles with her, but there was one difference: Wang Xu would start riding the bicycle and then let her jump on, while Luo Chunlei would wait for her to be seated before riding.
After riding quite a distance, Lin Xiaocui suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "You didn't bring your schoolbag, are you still going to class this afternoon?"
"It's up to you," Luo Chunlei said succinctly. "Go to school after you've finished your business."
He heard Lin Ye tell his second brother that morning that Lin Xiaocui was going to the hospital to deliver money, and that her mother was lying in the hospital. If she had to stay to take care of her, she might not be able to go to school in the afternoon.
"But you didn't bring your schoolbag?"
Do you think I need books for class?
Well, the topic has turned into him showing off his intelligence again.
However, it must be admitted that he has a really good learning ability. He can learn anything after the teacher explains it once, and he can also integrate and apply his knowledge.
The two chatted about their studies for a while before heading to the hospital.
"I'll go deliver the money. I'll be back in half an hour at most." Lin Xiaocui waved to him and skipped into the hospital.
Soon, she found Zhang Guixiang and Wang Xiuqin's ward. The ward was a three-person room. She heard that the two were originally in the same ward, but they started cursing at each other whenever they saw each other, so the nurse simply separated them.
When Lin Xiaocui saw Wang Xiuqin, she was lying on the bed, groaning incessantly!
"Nurse, please get me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst! Oh dear~ what have I done to deserve this! I was beaten up, and not only is no one here to stand up for me, but even my children aren't offering to take care of me! They're so unfilial!"
She said those wicked and unfilial things, and the nurses had heard them eight hundred times. At first, they were quite sympathetic to her and even helped her pour water and get food.
Later, Wang Xiuqin treated the nurses like her personal maids, calling out every three minutes, either to ask for water or to urinate, which exhausted the nurses.
They finally understood that even if their children were unfilial, it was their own fault!
Lin Xiaocui went in, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her, saying, "Here you go!"
Wang Xiuqin recognized her voice and turned around in surprise. "Xiaocui, I knew you wouldn't abandon your mother. I was bullied to death by Lu Wanqing's mother this time. You have to stand up for me!"
“What right do you have to make decisions for me? Think about what your eldest son did. How could people not be angry? Besides, my sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, and her mother is her mother. They can’t be confused!” Lin Xiaocui said sharply.
Wang Xiuqin's smiling face immediately darkened. "Even at a time like this, you're still speaking up for Lu Wanqing. I've wasted all these years raising you. You've gotten used to a comfortable life with her and don't even recognize your own mother anymore. You're a worthless wretch. I should have strangled you when you were born."
Lin Xiaocui's lips twitched. Sure enough, old habits die hard. Even at this moment, she still couldn't resist belittling her.
My sister-in-law even asked her to deliver money. She should have given the money to a beggar on the street; at least she would have heard a "thank you."
Lin Xiaocui was furious and prepared to leave.
Wang Xiuqin was unhappy again. The nurse had urged her several times to pay the hospital fees, and she had no money left.
"What are you doing? You're just leaving like this? You're not going to take care of me or pay my medical bills?" she asked sharply.
Lin Xiaocui turned around, "Weren't you going to strangle me? You like Gou Dan, so have him take care of you! You get proud when you mention Big Brother, so have him send you money! He's about to become famous... no, maybe he's already married to the leader's daughter. You should have him drive up and pick you up in style for your wedding!"
Upon hearing Lin Xiaocui's words, Wang Xiuqin immediately pictured a car honking its horn as it arrived at the Shengli Brigade to pick her up and take her to the military base for her son's wedding.
She chuckled foolishly, "Distant water can't quench immediate thirst. Your older brother lives so far away, he doesn't even know I was beaten up, how could he possibly send me money? You can pay me first, and when your brother comes to pick me up for his wedding, I'll make him pay you back double!"
After saying that, he became engrossed in his own pleasant imagination.
Lin Xiaocui was amused by her appearance, shook her head, took out fifty yuan from her pocket and threw it on the bed, "This is my sister-in-law's kind gesture, you don't need to pay it back. I only feel ashamed that my brother stole from others, I wouldn't dare to accept his favors!"
After saying that, she walked away nonchalantly.
Wang Xiuqin was furious. Was she deliberately coming to provoke her?
Who the hell wants that bitch Lu Wanqing's money!
She was about to call out to Lin Xiaocui and throw the money away when she saw the nurse coming in, and immediately backed down.
Fine, take the money. Why not? It's a waste not to take it. Consider it a sign of Lu Wanqing's conscience; it's what she owes her.
That ingrate Lin Xiaocui glanced at her and left, and now she has to use this money to ask the nurse to pay the bills and get her food! Sigh, I wonder if Gou Dan can even cook for himself at home!
Wang Xiuqin continued to lie in bed sighing, while Lin Xiaocui went into the next ward.
Zhang Guixiang was leaning against the headboard drinking water, with a gauze covering her forehead, but it didn't look too serious.
Lying on the other bed next to her was her adopted daughter, Lu Jiajia. Her face was pale, and she was sleeping with her eyes closed, as if she were in a more serious condition.
Lin Xiaocui placed five ten-yuan bills on the bedside table and said to Zhang Guixiang, "My sister-in-law asked me to bring these over."
After saying that, she prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiajia grabbed her arm like a pair of pliers.
"Take your stinking money away, we don't need it!" She was extremely agitated, barely able to speak without straining her breath.
Lin Xiaocui was bewildered by her actions, so she shoved the money away from her hand and said sternly, "Are you out of your mind? This money isn't for you, why are you getting so worked up!"
They even grabbed her with their dirty, virus-laden hands. If we weren't in the hospital, it would seem like they were bullying her. I really wanted to slap them.
Zhang Guixiang frowned, shook her head at Lu Jiajia to signal her not to get agitated, and then said to Lin Xiaocui, "Lu Wanqing thinks she can get rid of me with this little bit of money?"
