"Your husband's family is a highly educated family. They seem to have a good temper. Weidong is also good. You have married the right family."

Zhu's father noticed that his granddaughter's answer was irrelevant, but he did not expose her.

After dinner, the three of them took a car to the hospital. When they arrived at the ward, besides Ji Yong and his wife, Zhu Yaowu was also there.

When Zhu Yaowu saw Ji Ling, he rolled his eyes at her angrily. He didn't see her in the morning, so he went to the front desk to ask and found out that Ji Ling had left him a note saying that she had gone to Xu's house and asked him not to worry if she didn't come back.

"Mom and Dad, you're here." As soon as Xu Fang saw Zhu Yaowu, she knew that Ji Ling had gone to her parents' house, and she guessed that she would definitely come.

Father Xu hummed lightly, obviously angry.

Xu's mother said, "How could you two keep such a big thing a secret? Xiaoling rushed back from the capital with a big belly, and she didn't even know we were still around."

"Jianhua was in great danger during those days, and we were afraid that you would get angry if you knew about it. What would I do if you fell ill?" Xu Fang said with red eyes.

Xu's mother also understood that her daughter was afraid that they would get angry too. "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. How is Jianhua?"

"I was out of danger yesterday." Xu Fang sniffed and smiled. "I just had an operation and my body is very weak now. I need to take good care of myself for a few days. I just woke up and fell asleep again."

"I'm glad you're okay." said Xu's mother.

Ji Yong had been standing silently by the side. When he saw his mother-in-law had finished her questioning, he spoke to his daughter, "Xiaoling, I'm sorry to have frightened you. Your elder brother was afraid that he would be in danger, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to see him for the last time, so I called you."

"Brother is in trouble, you should tell me. It is more important than anything else that he is well now."

Xu Fang opened her mouth, and Ji Yong seemed to know that she was about to speak. He turned his head to look at her, and Xu Fang pursed her lips.

There were only a few people in the ward, and everyone could see the flirting and quarreling between the couple.

Xu's mother didn't want to watch, thinking her daughter was confused, and took the initiative to break the awkwardness, "Who is this girl?"

"This is Jianhua's girlfriend. He didn't even tell us that he had a girlfriend. We only found out about it after he got into trouble when he came here on his own initiative." Xu Fang introduced her to Xu's mother with a smile.

Luo Li called people calmly and confidently, not showing any stage fright at all.

Xu's mother looked satisfied and asked about the other party's family situation in a few words. After listening, she became more satisfied.

The Xu family is open-minded and does not think that they must eat public food. Now that the policies have changed and the country is developing, as long as they have the ability to live a good life, that is what is important.

Since there were outsiders present, no one would talk about family matters, and the topic returned to the incident involving Ji Jianhua.

"He's lying here now, how's the factory doing?" Father Xu said, "This factory was run by Jianhua with great care. We should be honest when doing business. If there is an electronic connection, it must be completed without delaying others."

Ji Yong said, "Dad, Jianhua was fine yesterday, so I went to the factory. The work in the factory is still in production and has not stopped. I will keep an eye on it in the next few days."

"That's good."

Since the person was fine, Xu's mother and her family did not stay long. When Xu's mother left, she asked Ji Ling to go home and sleep at night, and asked her to take Zhu Yaowu with her.

Not only did the Zhu family let Ji Ling come back with a big belly, but they also worried that they wouldn't be able to handle the situation, so they sent someone over to help.

It can be seen how much people value the Ji family and Ji Ling.

Xu Fang went out to see someone off, and Xu's mother stuffed two hundred yuan into her daughter's hand, "Why didn't you just say that Jianhua didn't have enough money for hospitalization? Your father and I would lose face and go out to get some money for you. Xiaoling came all the way back, pregnant and worried, and even helped you get the money. There aren't many married daughters who are so filial. Don't always have a problem with your child."

Xu Fang pushed the money back and said, "Mom, you and my dad can keep the money. We have money, but we had to wait for the goods to arrive during those few days, so we couldn't recycle the money. Now we need to return it."

Only then did Xu Fang accept the money the old man gave to his grandson.

After seeing her parents off, Xu Fang returned to the ward.

When Luo Li saw the family, he looked at them and told them to go home first and come back in the evening, and then they left.

Ji Ling also sent Zhu Yaowu out, "I want to eat pickled cabbage for lunch, go find a restaurant outside and take some home."

Zhu Yaowu agreed, but Ji Yong said, "How can we let the customers go to buy it? I'll go."

"Dad, let him go. I have something to tell you." Ji Ling urged Zhu Yaowu to leave. Zhu Yaowu looked at her and found something wrong. He also felt that she was unhappy.

He smiled and said, "Uncle, I just happened to be wandering around, I'll go."

The door of the ward was closed, blocking out the sounds and sight from outside.

"Xiaoling, what do you want to say?" Ji Yong asked guiltily.

Ji Ling sat on this side of the bed and looked straight at Ji Yong on the other side of the bed. "Dad, there is no money in the factory of my eldest brother. Let's not talk about it for now. We will talk about it after he wakes up. What about you and mom? Don't you have any money in your hands?"

"I'll give you the money you advanced in the next few days." Xu Fang said from the end of the bed.

"The money is stuck with the goods, and it's been a while since we've been able to turn it over." Ji Yong scolded his wife and patiently explained to his daughter, "I know you're either thinking about our money or you're worried about us. Dad knows it all."

The couple tried to hide the truth, thinking they could hide it from everyone.

Since they didn't want to talk about it, Ji Ling didn't want to interfere. "Just wait for you to transfer the money to me. There's no rush."

She looked at Ji Jianhua who was sleeping on the bed and said, "Just give it to my brother when the time comes."

"Xiaoling, school is about to start. Your brother is fine now. You should take a two-day break and go back. Don't delay your studies." Ji Yong felt guilty, but didn't know how to make up for it. His voice became low. "You and your brother have a good relationship. I'm afraid that if something happens to him, you will hate us, so I told you."

"Dad, I'm fine after all the trouble. You have to tell me if anything happens to my eldest brother." Ji Ling also felt depressed and stood up. "Then I'll go to grandpa's house and come back in the afternoon."

"Let me take you there." Ji Yong followed his daughter out.

After being scolded by her husband, Xu Fang never spoke again.

Outside, the father and daughter walked out of the hospital and saw Zhu Yaowu standing not far away. Ji Ling stopped and said to Ji Yong, "Dad, you go back. Zhu Yaowu and I will go to my grandpa's house."

"Okay, then you can come back in the afternoon." Ji Yong did not force his daughter to go.

Watching his daughter walk away, he sighed deeply, turned and walked inside.

Ji Ling did not go to the Xu family compound. "Let's go to the factory first."

Zhu Yaowu said, "Do you want to check where the money went?"

Ji Ling nodded, "I always feel like there's something wrong here."
