The three of them, each with their own thoughts, waited anxiously outside the operating room.
After several hours of waiting, the operating room door finally opened.
Wang Lanhua rushed over and asked, "Doctor, how is my husband?"
"The surgery was successful, and the blood clot in the brain has been removed."
Once the anesthesia wears off, the person will wake up.
"Prepare some liquid food for him first!"
Upon hearing that everything was alright, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I remembered that they had arrived in the morning and hadn't eaten yet.
I didn't feel it just now, but now that I've relaxed, I'm feeling quite hungry.
Su Jiaojiao was planning to persuade Wang Lanhua to ask Su Nianxue to buy some food.
What is she going to do with so much money?
She had no money on her, and Su Nianxue must also be penniless.
Anyway, she wasn't planning to give it to her mother for safekeeping, so it's good that she spent it all!
Wang Lanhua shared the same thought and was just about to speak.
Then there was a knock on the door of the ward.
The group turned around and saw that it was Gu Yanbai.
He was carrying two large net bags, one of which contained some fruits such as oranges and apples.
A net bag contained several aluminum lunch boxes.
"I guessed you hadn't eaten yet, so I brought you some."
Wang Lanhua quickly stood up, "I can't accept this. I'm troubling you to make this extra trip."
She spoke politely, but her actions showed no politeness whatsoever.
He took the two nets from his hands and took out the contents one by one.
She's Gu Yanbai's mother-in-law now, what's wrong with her eating some of his food?
With Su Nianxue covering the debt, what is she afraid of!
Gu Yanbai ignored her and walked straight to Su Nianxue. "How is Uncle? What did the doctor say?"
Seeing his actions, Su Nianxue felt a warmth in her heart. "The doctor said it's alright, I'll wake up after the anesthesia wears off."
"That's good." The two weren't very familiar with each other yet, and after saying that, they didn't know what else to say.
Wang Lanhua opened the lunchbox and saw that it was full of fatty meat; her eyes lit up.
He hurriedly called out, "Nianxue, come and eat."
Yanbai is so thoughtful, he even cooked so much meat for us!
Heaven knows she hadn't eaten meat in ages, and this guy was surprisingly generous.
He even knew to use meat to please his mother-in-law.
She was increasingly satisfied with what she saw.
If it weren't for his bad reputation, she would have loved to marry Jiaojiao to him.
Su Nianxue felt somewhat embarrassed looking at her.
Not only her, but Su Jiaojiao also felt the same way; she had never felt that her mother was so shameful.
Who shouts like that, as if they want everyone to know that their family has no meat to eat?
Su Nianxue and Su Jiaojiao were so engrossed in eating that they completely ignored Wang Lanhua's loud and boisterous chatter.
This is probably one of the few times the two of them have such a good understanding!
After finishing her meal, Wang Lanhua rolled her eyes and said, "You two go out for a walk."
"Anyway, your dad's fine now, Jiaojiao and I can keep an eye on things."
She was afraid that her stepdaughter might suddenly decide to call off the engagement.
You know, today they say they're engaged, but all they've done is take the money; there's not even a witness.
If Su Nianxue wanted to call off the engagement, there was indeed a possibility.
Su Jiaojiao firmly stood with her mother, "That's right, you two go shopping, Mom and I will keep an eye on things."
Anyway, she was determined to bring them together.
She was still waiting to see what Su Nianxue would look like in the future!
Seeing their insistence, Su Nianxue had no choice but to go.
The two left the hospital and walked along the riverbank.
Gu Yanbai thought that the engagement was arranged rather hastily, without a matchmaker or anything, and she probably didn't know about his family situation.
"Su Nianxue, you don't know my family situation, do you?"
"Hmm!" Last time, the matchmaker had just come to the door when she was scolded and driven away.
People in the nearby villages all knew that he was a good-for-nothing loafer, but very few people talked about his family situation.
Su Nianxue found a large rock and wiped herself clean before sitting down. "Then you go ahead and say it! I'm listening."
Gu Yanbai also found a rock to sit on, about a meter away from her.
"My family is relatively small."
My father passed away when I was little, and my grandfather raised us.
There are four sisters in my family. My eldest brother married into another family.
My eldest sister got married too.
Currently, only my grandfather lives at home; my younger sister and I live with him.
"Okay." It is indeed simple, much simpler than the Su family's.
After hearing his story, Su Nianxue, adhering to the principle of sincerity, also recounted her own situation.
“My family situation is rather complicated. Wang Lanhua is my stepmother, so I don’t think she will prepare any return gift for me.”
At this point, she became somewhat embarrassed. Since ancient times, when a daughter is married, the groom's family gives betrothal gifts, while the bride's family provides a dowry.
However, her situation was special. Although her biological father was still alive, he didn't care much about her, and her stepmother had always been in charge of the household.
And he might not necessarily argue with his stepmother over her, after all, his stepmother gave birth to two sons for him.
She had figured these things out a long time ago, but she didn't know if Gu Yanbai could accept them.
I know about your situation.
"It's alright, we have everything we need at home. Grandpa already prepared everything for me."
Seeing that his expression was very sincere and not at all perfunctory, Su Nianxue felt a little relieved.
The two talked for a while and then went back.
