Chapter 167 Angry at the He Family
There were several armed soldiers standing outside Mr. He's ward. He Xu was allowed in only after he took out his ID.
When he entered the fourth floor of the hospital, Chen Tang saw the He family members blocking the door of the ward.
This was the first time she met so many members of the He family, including Mr. He’s first wife, Mrs. Wang and her two sons and one daughter, and Mrs. Jin from the third room and her son and one daughter.
There were only two ladies in the ward, and the rest were waiting outside.
Seeing He Xu coming, He Zheng frowned and started to find fault: "Why did you come back just now?"
He Xu said calmly: "Did you notify me?"
When everyone in the He family heard this, their faces changed slightly. Everyone knew that Grandpa He favored He Xu the most. Now that he was seriously ill, everyone was thinking about dividing up the things in Grandpa He's hands. They pushed each other and simply forgot about notifying He Xu.
If Mr. Shen hadn't lived nearby, He Xu would still be kept in the dark.
The eldest aunt of the He family relied on her status as an elder and smiled as she tried to change the subject: "This must be Chen Tang, right? He Xu, you are so lucky to marry such a beautiful girl."
The third room's young aunt couldn't help but sneer when she heard these polite words: "What a blessing! Just one year after marrying her, her father is already seriously ill. Who knows if it's a bad omen."
He Xu said coldly: "What you mean, little aunt, do you think you can be killed?"
Aunt He choked up immediately: "Are you sick? I'm not her relative."
Chen Tang raised the corners of his lips slightly: "You don't have to treat me as a relative. After all, my grandfather is still alive and my family is safe. Unlike you, my little aunt, you are vicious and can only envy others for half your life."
Aunt He's eyes widened, and she almost choked with anger: "I'll tear your mouth apart. Do you really think that the He family is ruled by you and He Xu? Father is not dead yet, and you are verbally abusing us elders. Have you fed the Shen family's upbringing to the dogs?"
"Why don't you ask everyone to ask him in person about the upbringing of my Shen family?"
The Shen family is a prominent family. Old Master Shen is highly respected and has never been asked about his "Shen family upbringing" by others in his entire life. Today, his granddaughter's in-laws dared to bully Old Master Shen. The people who have received favors from the Shen family will drown them with spit.
Even the usually arrogant and domineering Aunt He wouldn't dare to do that.
"Okay, stop arguing. Father's condition has just stabilized." Seeing that his wife couldn't win the argument with He Xu, Fourth Uncle He frowned and interrupted their quarrel.
He glanced at the child in He Xu's arms with a gloomy look and suddenly asked, "Is it a boy?"
Everyone then looked at the child in He Xu's arms in surprise and doubt. Previously, the second grandson He Zhong was "exiled" by Grandpa He for dealing with He Xu. Everyone immediately went to find out the whole story, and only then did they know that Chen Tang had given birth to a boy.
He Xu's child is not Mr. He's first great-grandson.
But this is the first grandson of the second branch of the He family.
Now that He Xu had a descendant, the old man's original desire to pass on the family business to He Xu became even stronger.
The reason why He Zhong wanted to deal with He Xu was that he thought that as long as He Xu had no descendants, Old Man He would consider other people.
Everyone stared at the little baby in He Xu's arms, as if they wanted to stare him through. Little He Zhi felt everyone's gaze, turned around, and faced them with his butt.
He Xu patted him gently as if to comfort him, and asked about the reason why his grandfather was seriously ill: "Why did Grandpa suddenly fall ill?"
The first and third wives didn't dare to look people in the eye. They turned their heads away guiltily and didn't dare to look at them.
He looked at his father He Zheng, who was obviously guilty, but he felt ashamed to be looked at by him, so he had to hold back his anger and said, "It's all because of you!"
He Xu retorted coldly: "I am far away in Hai City, can I make Grandpa fall ill because of me? If father really can't find a reason, he can just shut up."
He Zheng was so angry that he felt that his face had been trampled underfoot. He was about to retort, but Zhang pulled his hand, and he swallowed his anger.
Chen Tang noticed everyone's expressions and the looks they exchanged with each other. He thought that this matter must be related to all of them, which was why Grandpa He was so angry that he fell ill.
Seeing the doctor coming out, He Xu didn't care about what everyone was avoiding talking about, and asked, "How is my grandpa?"
"The patient's condition has stabilized and he can't stand any stimulation. For the time being, try not to have more than two people go in at a time. The patient needs quiet, and it's best not to make a big noise."
"How long will it take before you wake up?"
"I'm awake now. Let's see who the old man is meeting."
As soon as the doctor left, the door of the ward opened and two old ladies came out holding crutches.
The two old ladies are both in their seventies this year, but they are still in good health. Perhaps they looked down on each other, so they didn't say a word and sat on the stools on both sides as soon as they came out.
At this time, a nurse came out of the ward and called out, "Is He Xu here? The chief wants to see you."
He Xu took Shen Tang's hand and tried to go in, but was stopped by the people at the door, who obviously wanted He Xu to go in alone.
"Move aside, Grandpa also wants to see his great-grandson."
The two soldiers looked at each other, and only let them go after hearing Mr. He say that they could both go in.
When Mr. He woke up, he had already survived the crisis. Seeing that He Xuhua was still holding a child in his arms, he immediately smiled and said, "What a pity, the Ruyi locks that Mr. Shen and I made are all left at home."
He Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still in the spirit of chatting and laughing.
Chen Tang politely called "Grandpa", then put the child in front of him and coaxed the little fat baby, "Call me Great Grandpa."
Xiao Hezhi had practiced this several times on the train, so when he heard her say that, he called out incoherently.
The soft purring of the child softened Mr. He's heart. He snorted in an unfocused voice, "I was saying that I must have seen my great-grandson first. Look at this little guy, his eyes are so bright, just like you when you were a child. He's a smart kid."
He was also satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law Chen Tang. The old man had been paying attention to the two of them. When his subordinates who went to inspect their military region came back, they praised Chen Tang to him, which made him feel proud.
"Grandpa, why did you suddenly fall ill? What's wrong with you? Is it serious now?"
He Xu was worried. Seeing the old man's nonchalant look, he actually had a lot of things on his mind.
Old Man He looked around and didn't want to say, "I'm fine. I just suddenly fainted. Was it Old Man Shen who exaggerated when he told you?"
He Xu immediately saw through what he was thinking: "Are you being harassed again by your uncle and fourth uncle because of the things in your hand?"
"What on earth is it? I always feel like you are hiding something from me."
Old Master He frowned and glared at him angrily: "Old man, I don't have any money now, but I have people in the hospital. What else can I hide from you?"
"Go, go, go. I'm going to sleep. By the way, stay with me more this time. I'm in good health, old man. I'll be discharged from the hospital soon."
He Xu and Shen Tang looked at each other. When the old man fell asleep, only a few young people were left outside the ward.
The two of them returned to the He family with their luggage. Mr. Shen had been waiting outside for a long time.
After seeing Chen Tang, his wrinkled face suddenly became happy.
"Hey, our Tangtang is back."
Little Hezhi thought someone was calling him, so he poked his head to look forward. He saw that the old man was not afraid at all and even smiled, which softened Mr. Shen's heart.
"This little kid must be my great-grandson, so cute. Come, give him a hug."
He Xu smiled and said, "This child is a little shy..."
Before he could finish his words, the little brat reached out to Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen was still in good health. He held little He Zhi in his arms and walked into the house without paying any attention to the two people behind him.
The little guy laughed happily, struggled to get down from his arms, walked around the living room on his little legs, then found a small rocking chair and climbed up on it.
Mr. Shen went over to tease him, but he didn't expect that the child would laugh and then reach for the fruit on the table.
Mr. Shen was amused: "You little glutton."
Outside, Shen Tang was carrying her luggage and heading towards her home, but He Xu grabbed her and said, "You've already married me, so go live at my house."
Chen Tang struggled: "No, I want to go home."
He Xu grabbed her by the back of the neck, picked her up by the waist, and walked straight to the He family without looking back: "Uncle Xiao Zhao, please bring the luggage over."
Chen Tang struggled in vain and pinched the flesh around his waist angrily.
