Xu Ruantang was startled, thinking something had happened to her.
"Shuhe, where do you feel unwell?"
Having witnessed so much of the hardships of childbirth, Xu Ruantang almost picked up Li Shuhe and put her in the car.
Li Shuhe grabbed onto a tree by the road and waved her hands repeatedly: "It wasn't me, I'm fine, it's your family, the old lady and Aunt Ye are both in the hospital!"
Xu Ruantang, who was reaching out to help Li Shuhe, paused, her face turning pale. "What?!"
When she arrived at the hospital, the old lady and Ye Lan had already been admitted to their wards.
Chen Lin, Chen Ji, and even Jia Shuling and her godmother came.
When her godmother saw Xu Ruantang, she quickly pulled her aside and whispered what had happened to her.
After hearing this, Xu Ruantang felt extremely anxious.
It turns out it's summer. The auntie didn't finish the food she made in the morning. The old lady is always frugal and doesn't want to waste food, so she left it until noon.
At noon, only Ye Lan and the old lady were at home, and they both ate spoiled food and got food poisoning.
Ye Lan is alright, just feeling dizzy, nauseous, and vomiting.
The old lady was very old and fainted. She is still unconscious.
Xu Ruantang went to Ye Lan's bedside. "Mom, how are you feeling?"
Ye Lan's face was deathly pale. She managed a weak smile when she saw Xu Ruantang. "Mom's alright. Where's Grandma? How is she?"
Ye Lan was worried about the old lady and even wanted to get out of bed to check on her, but she was so dizzy that she couldn't even stand up. Any movement made her feel nauseous and dizzy.
"Grandma is also receiving an IV drip, just like you."
Xu Ruantang tried to be truthful and comforted Ye Lan, saying, "Mom, you should lie down first. Dad and Chen Ji are with Grandma."
Chen Zheng and Tang Wan stayed at home, waiting for the food to be prepared and delivered.
The old lady needs someone to take care of her. Her godmother is over there, so Chen Zheng and Tang Wan will stay here for a while.
After putting Ye Lan to sleep, Xu Ruantang went to see the old lady.
Chen Ji followed her out, which made Xu Ruantang think more deeply.
Once they reached a secluded spot, she turned around, looked at her surroundings, and asked Chen Ji, "Are you sure it's food poisoning? Nobody tampered with it, right?"
The Cheng family had just experienced such a mishap, and then the Chen family ran into trouble.
Chen Ji shook his head, "No, Grandma couldn't bear to part with that half plate of food, and it wasn't refrigerated, so it went bad."
After a long while, Xu Ruantang finally nodded.
Seeing her downcast mood, Chen Ji gently took her hand and held it in his palm, saying softly, "Wife, you are still injured. Go back and rest. I'll take care of things here."
The old lady's condition was still unknown, so Xu Ruantang finally discussed it with Chen Ji and decided that Tang Wan and Chen Zheng would stay here during the day, and she and Chen Ji would come over to take care of her at night.
Ye Lan's symptoms were relatively mild, and she was able to be discharged from the hospital on the same day after receiving an IV drip.
But she was still sleepy and spent most of her time sleeping.
When Xu Ruantang arrived at the hospital in the afternoon, she ran into Cheng Dan, who had also arrived at the hospital.
On a sweltering day, Cheng Dan was wearing long sleeves, and the gauze wrapped inside her right sleeve was clearly visible.
The gruesome wounds on his hands and neck had turned somewhat black, and his skin had become wrinkled.
Cheng's father stood at the hospital entrance waiting for her, glancing at Xu Ruantang with a cold, sharp look.
This time, Cheng Dan didn't even glance at her before rushing into the inpatient ward.
Xu Ruantang heard from Chen Ji that Cheng Dan's mother was quite ill, and the hospital had even made the family sign a critical condition notice.
Cheng Dan is a doctor herself, so she should know more about these things.
Having come to this point, Xu Ruantang can only say that Cheng Dan has only herself to blame.
It will be impossible for the Chen family and the Cheng family to coexist peacefully in the compound from now on, at least in private.
