"You unfilial son!" Xu's father roared in fury, pointing at Xu Sheng with bloodshot eyes.
I feel like his eyes are about to pop out of their sockets.
After saying that, Xu Sheng felt a little regretful.
But then I realized that this was indeed the truth.
He stubbornly spoke his mind: "Dad, look at your grandson, he's your eldest grandson. If this illness really can't be cured, he'll grow up with a limp. If he finds out that you're the one who made him this way, do you think he'll hate you?"
"Dad, I didn't mean anything by it. We can earn money again. Even if I have to stay in the fields day and night from now on, I'm willing!"
Xu Sheng wished he could kneel down before his father, "But we can't leave Qianqian unsaved. He's my only son, and you only have one grandson!"
I don't know why, but in this day and age, every family has three to five children, but the Xu family has very few offspring. It's never been easy for them to have a boy to carry on the family line.
Xu's mother was crying uncontrollably beside her.
She glared at Xu Ruantang with hatred. "Are you happy now? You only feel good when you see the Xu family in chaos?"
Xu Ruantang's gaze was even more terrifying than her mother's. She stared back at her mother without flinching, "Have you lost your mind? You were the one who wouldn't let me take the child to the hospital when he had a fever? Where were you when the child was sick?"
"Even if we take a step back and assume things are already like this, and I beg and plead with everyone, even risking my reputation to find a hospital and doctor for my child, it will still turn out to be my fault?"
Xu Ruantang's eyes were icy cold. "I've never understood. I was born from you, wasn't I? I wasn't adopted, was I? Hah, they say no mother doesn't love her children. Did you ever really love me?"
Xu's mother's mouth opened and closed in shock as she stared blankly at Xu Ruantang.
"You are my child, that's true, but you also have to consider the future of the Xu family, Tangtang. You can't be so selfish." Xu's mother said, tears streaming down her face, her expression pained.
Sometimes, talking to this kind of person makes Xu Ruantang feel completely powerless.
It's like punching cotton; it's completely unresponsive.
"Will you be alive to see it with your own eyes in the future? I want to know how much longer you have to live? You are so selfless, willing to risk even your own daughter's life for a surname that has nothing to do with you."
"I'd like to ask you, what do you think you are in the Xu family? Someone like you deserves it! If I had jumped into the river and died back then, how would you feel? Would you feel guilty towards your daughter in the dead of night?"
As Xu Ruantang spoke, her eyes were full of mockery.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was full of resentment and unwillingness, and the ward was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Her sudden emotional outburst caught everyone off guard.
Xu's father was already so angry with Xu Sheng that he almost choked on his own blood. He never expected that his two children would have such a big grudge against the family.
There was a loud "thump".
Xu's mother rushed to Xu's father, who had fallen to the ground, "Dad, Dad! What happened to you?"
Xu's father's mouth and eyes became crooked, and he fell to the ground and began to convulse.
Xu Ruantang stood up and walked out of the ward.
She called the doctor and then left the hospital directly.
Chen Ji was standing under a tree in the hospital's carport when he saw her coming and quickly went to her.
Why is your face so pale?
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Ruantang fell in his direction.
Holding the person firmly in his arms, Chen Ji asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Ruantang shook her head, "Let's go home, I want to eat an ice pop."
"good."
Xu's father was already experiencing signs of a stroke, and the sudden onset of his condition was triggered by anger and stress.
From now on, he will only be a useless member of the Xu family, completely incapable of working, and will no longer be able to command others.
Xu's mother's emotional support also completely collapsed.
Xu Ruantang hasn't been to the hospital for the past two days, so naturally the Xu family won't let her off the hook, but Chen Ji went.
With him around, the Xu family dared not say anything.
Chen Ji also arranged a ward for Xu's father, and Xu's mother was taking care of him.
Xu's mother refused to give him any money for Xu Qian's medical treatment, leaving Xu Sheng with no way to resolve the issue.
Those are his own parents; they wouldn't hit someone.
On the third day, something happened at the unit, and Chen Ji didn't go, which led to the incident.
When Xu Ruantang arrived at the ward, the fighting and cursing were still going on, and it was complete chaos.
"I told you to give me the money but you wouldn't, and now you've been scammed, are you happy?" Xu Sheng was furious. "Mom, what are you crying about? Tell me, what are you crying about? Shouldn't I be the one crying?!"
He had an urge to abandon everything and run away.
Over the years, Xu Ruantang had always been there to protect him; he used to just think his sister was a bit crazy.
A person who is usually quiet and reserved can become hysterical when he goes crazy, and even jump into the river.
At that time, Xu Sheng couldn't understand at all what she was doing, since her parents were such good people!
As someone who has benefited from the system, he has never experienced hardship, so how could he understand?
Now that he has tasted it, Xu Sheng is in agony.
Xu's mother kept crying, and she had a bump on her head, which was caused by Xu's father, who was trembling but still conscious, hitting her with a teacup.
Xu's father's eyes were crooked and his mouth was trembling, his gaze fixed fiercely on Xu's mother.
As soon as Xu Ruantang entered, Xu Sheng rushed up to her with a box, "Sister, hurry up and find your brother-in-law, and have him take the police to catch the swindler!"
"Calm down and tell me slowly."
Xu Ruantang, with an indifferent expression, took the box, opened it, and saw a box full of large black pills, neatly arranged.
Xu Sheng pulled up a stool and sat opposite Xu Ruantang, looking dejected as he said, "Mother spent two thousand yuan to buy this box of things."
"I did that for my grandson and your father. They said it could cure all diseases, and if it couldn't, they would compensate us six thousand!" Xu's mother said loudly.
Xu Sheng buried his head in his arms, as if he didn't want to listen to his mother at all.
After she finished speaking, Xu Sheng murmured, "The doctor said that it was just hawthorn pills, which at most strengthen the spleen and have no cure-all effect. She was deceived."
"It's because that doctor complained that we didn't buy their hospital's medicine, and that their hospital didn't make any money, so he just lied through his teeth!"
Xu's mother was still trying to argue, "Besides, if it doesn't work, we can go to him for compensation and make a lot of money."
"Mom! That's a liar! I went with you to look for him, but where is he?! Tell me, did you see him?!" Xu Sheng felt like he wanted to die.
Just two days ago, his parents were complaining to him about being poor, saying that the family had no money, and even if they did, it was their retirement money.
They claimed that when they get old, they will be able to support themselves and will not be a burden to him.
And the result?!
Xu's mother was unaware that she was deeply shocked and refused to accept reality.
Or have they really been brainwashed so badly that they're still defending the scammers at this point: "It's so hot outside, maybe they've gone home. They might set up their stall tomorrow."
Xu Sheng looked up at Xu Ruantang, as if desperately grasping at the only straw, "Sister, I can only rely on you."
