Chapter 101 Disparity



After entering, he immediately closed the door to the ward, clearly having overheard their conversation outside.

Chenchen didn't hide it; she'd already told everyone today, so there was nothing left to hide.

"Besides my grandmother and my third uncle's family, there was no one else in the family. When we left, my grandmother was in poor health and spent most of her time in the hospital, so she was powerless to help with many things..."

Originally, he had an older uncle; his father was the second oldest in the family.

I heard that my uncle is a very kind person, but unfortunately Chenchen has never met him.

All I know is that my uncle was a soldier who died on the battlefield 20 years ago.

Since she had never met this uncle and he was already dead, Chenchen didn't mention it.

After hearing Chenchen's words, Qiao Qiqi felt that this matter was very troublesome.

Of course, the premise for this to be troublesome is that she takes on this mess.

She hasn't decided yet whether or not to get involved in Chenchen's affairs, because in her heart, she and the brother and sister are now even...

Because of some conflicts, Qiao Qiqi didn't want to stay in the ward and wanted to find a quiet place to think things through.

But before leaving the ward, she said to Chenchen with a relaxed expression, "We'll talk about these things later. You should focus on recovering first. I'll go ask the doctor how long it will take before I can be discharged."

"Okay." This was the second time Chenchen had opened up to someone about the true situation at home since leaving.

Thinking back to the first time...

A deep sorrow flashed across his eyes.

Qiao Qiqi clearly saw it, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she simply went to find a doctor first.

The doctor who performed the surgery last night has already gone home to rest. The person sitting in the office now is a stranger, but he already knows about Chenchen's situation.

When Qiao Qiqi asked Chenchen how long it would take to be discharged from the hospital, the doctor said, "The child is young and recovers quickly. If you are in a hurry, you can take him home the day after tomorrow. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay for 7 days and leave after the stitches are removed."

This time was roughly in line with Qiao Qiqi's expectations.

She then asked the doctor about some dietary restrictions and precautions.

The answer she received was similar to what she expected: "Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, don't get it wet before the stitches are removed, don't take a bath, and just rest in bed as much as possible."

"Okay, I've got it. Thank you, doctor."

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Qiao Qiqi sat in the courtyard for a while.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting when she suddenly felt something. When she turned around, she saw Qin Huai standing not far behind her, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there.

Qiao Qiqi winked at him.

Qin Huai understood and sat down beside her. "What are you thinking about? If it's about making money, don't worry, I'll..."

"Qin Huai, you should go back to the village first," Qiao Qiqi suddenly interrupted him.

Qin Huai looked over in surprise, only to see her turn around and say with a smile, "Chenchen's condition has stabilized. She just needs to rest in bed from now on. There's no need for both of us to stay here. Besides, it's the busiest time of the autumn harvest in the village right now. It wouldn't be good if you didn't go."

Qin Huai understood what she meant, but knowing that someone was secretly targeting Chenchen and Xinxin, he was genuinely worried about leaving Qiao Qiqi alone at the hospital.

Qiao Qiqi understood his meaning and comforted him with a smile, "Even if those people are arrogant, they can't come to the hospital to snatch people, right? Besides, you can harvest during the day and sleep in the hospital at night, then everything will be fine."

Fortunately, his family bought bicycles, which makes it much more convenient for them to get around.

Qin Huai thought this would work; with people coming and going at the hospital during the day, there certainly wouldn't be any problems.

"Okay, then I'll go back first thing tomorrow morning."

The conversation could have ended there, but Qin Huai looked at Qiao Qiqi with a hesitant expression, "Your apple... I'll try selling it this afternoon?"

Qiao Qiqi was stunned for a moment.

Realizing that Qin Huai wanted to make more money, he immediately smiled.

But she didn't tell him about making a lot of money that morning, since she was just idling around in the hospital anyway.

Thinking it over, Qiao Qiqi asked Qin Huai to go to the street corner east of the black market in 10 minutes. She then went to her space to fill a basket with peaches and grapes and gave it to him before returning to the hospital.

Qin Huai returned after dark and took out 44 yuan from his pocket to give to her, but Qiao Qiqi refused.

“I have money to use. Take this money back and pay back the money you owed Zhang Qing and his parents. Especially your parents, the whole family probably only has 7 yuan left.”

As she spoke, Qiao Qiqi took out another 30 yuan from her pocket and put it in his hand.

Qin Huai frowned, "As for my parents..."

"What can you do? You forgot, you still have to stay with us at the hospital tonight."

Seeing that he was still showing off at this moment, Qiao Qiqi had no choice. She didn't want to take out the money, but in order to put his mind at ease, she still showed him the money she had earned today.

"What do you think I went out to do this morning? I really do have money, so you don't need to feel guilty."

Qiao Qiqi genuinely wanted to comfort Qin Huai, even though the man showed no reaction whatsoever.

Of course, he knew that Qiao Qiqi was doing this to put his mind at ease.

Seeing his wife suddenly produce over a hundred yuan, and in just one morning, was a huge shock for a farmer who only earned less than 30 yuan a month in work points.

Although Qin Huai could supplement his income by hunting, which earned him more work points than farming, it was still far less than what Qiao Qiqi could earn...

He tried hard to suppress the sadness in his heart and replied softly, "I understand."
