Qi Mengmeng went to the ward first, and the nurse on duty said that Kang Kang was not on duty tonight and had already gone off work.
Qi Mengmeng frowned. She remembered Kang Kang said that he was on night shift this week. How could he not be in the hospital?
"You guys can share these ribs. I won't take them back." Qi Mengmeng casually handed the thermal lunch box to the nurse on duty.
The young nurse was a little embarrassed: "Auntie, there is meat inside."
"As long as you don't mind the taste of my cooking, you can share it." Qi Mengmeng has been here several times and likes these young nurses who are about the same age as her youngest daughter.
The young nurse then took the lunch box, poured the ribs into her lunch box, washed the lunch box and handed it back to Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng took the lunch box and walked back. Not far away, she suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. Unexpectedly, the toilet on this floor was broken, so she had to walk downstairs to go to the toilet.
At the toilet door, a young woman was helping an old lady out: "Mom, be careful."
Qi Mengmeng avoided the two of them and let them go out first.
"Auntie, let me help you." Kang Kang stood outside and held Chen Xiaoyu's mother's other arm.
"Kang Kang?" Qi Mengmeng looked at Kang Kang in surprise. Why was he here?
Kang Kang was full of surprise. Why was his mother here?
"mom?"
Chen Xiaoyu's hands trembled. She didn't expect to meet Kang Kang's mother in such a situation.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Kang Kang suspiciously, then looked at the old lady he was supporting, and Chen Xiaoyu who was clearly feeling guilty, "Who are they?"
"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Chen Xiaoyu, and her mother."
Chen Xiaoyu straightened her back nervously, her voice trembling a little: "Hello, Auntie."
Qi Mengmeng nodded at Chen Xiaoyu, then looked at the old lady that Chen Xiaoyu was supporting, and she had a familiar feeling.
"What's your mother's name?" Qi Mengmeng suddenly asked.
Chen Xiaoyu glanced at her mother who kept her head down and replied, "Jiang Shengnan."
Sure enough, Qi Mengmeng felt that this person looked familiar just now.
Her gaze swept across Kang Kang and Chen Xiaoyu's faces, then fell back on Jiang Shengnan.
Jiang Shengnan kept his head down and said nothing.
Qi Mengmeng continued to ask: "What disease does your mother have?"
"Kidney disease, Mom, I'm just here to help. Xiaoyu paid for Auntie's medical expenses." Kang Kang couldn't help but say when he saw Qi Mengmeng's bad face.
Qi Mengmeng didn't look at Kang Kang, she looked at Chen Xiaoyu: "Where are your father and other relatives?"
She remembered that Jiang Shengnan gave birth to three or four sons, so why was it the youngest daughter who was being taken care of in the hospital?
Chen Xiaoyu pursed her lips and lowered her voice by two points: "My father and mother divorced, and I was awarded to my mother."
A look of understanding flashed across Qi Mengmeng's eyes. It seemed that Jiang Shengnan's son had made the same choice as she had made back then.
The corridor fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of Jiang Shengnan's heavy breathing.
Chen Xiaoyu glanced at Kang Kang and clearly felt that Jiang Shengnan, who was supporting her, had sunk a bit. She whispered, "Auntie, I'll take my mother back to the ward first."
"Go ahead." Qi Mengmeng did not make things difficult for Chen Xiaoyu.
What happened back then had nothing to do with Chen Xiaoyu.
But Kang Kang is in love with Chen Xiaoyu, so she has to think about this matter.
Kang Kang thought Qi Mengmeng would get angry, but Qi Mengmeng just watched them quietly enter the ward. When Kang Kang came out again, Qi Mengmeng was no longer in the corridor.
Chen Xiaoyu stood next to Kang Kang and said, "Kang Kang, will your mother disagree with us?"
Although Qi Mengmeng did not throw a tantrum today, she was very worried. After all, in a family like hers, no loving parent would agree.
There was a trace of confusion in Kang Kang's eyes. Her mother had just acted too calm, and something was really wrong. He comforted Chen Xiaoyu for a few words, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong in the hospital, he was very worried about Qi Mengmeng, and hurried home.
But Qi Mengmeng was not at home.
Qi Mengmeng went to Professor Jiang's house.
Professor Jiang is now retired. Qi Mengmeng once told them to move into his home, but Professor Jiang felt that both of them were in good health and did not want to trouble Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng really couldn't persuade the two of them, so she could only come to see them once a week, buy them some necessities, and take them to the hospital for check-ups.
Professor Jiang is in good health, but Zhang Meiling suffered a minor stroke last year and has difficulty using her arms.
When Qi Mengmeng arrived, the two were a little surprised and hurriedly invited Qi Mengmeng into the house.
Qi Mengmeng first asked about the two elderly people's recent situation. Knowing that there was no problem, she hesitantly told them the news that Jiang Shengnan had kidney disease and was hospitalized.
Professor Jiang and Zhang Meiling looked at each other. Over the years, Jiang Shengnan had only come two or three times, and was driven away by Professor Jiang every time. They hadn't heard from her for a long time.
"Mengmeng, Jiang Shengnan has nothing to do with us, we won't care about her." Zhang Meiling thought Qi Mengmeng wanted to persuade them to go see Jiang Shengnan.
Qi Mengmeng smiled bitterly. In the current situation, there was really no way she could just ignore it. She told Qi Mengmeng about Kang Kang and Chen Xiaoyu's relationship.
Although the two people didn't ask just now, she could tell from their interaction.
Professor Jiang and Zhang Meiling were both surprised. Qi Mengmeng directly told them that Jiang Shengnan was divorced and had only one daughter.
The room fell silent for a moment.
"Aunt Ling, Uncle, if you want to ask about Jiang Shengnan's situation, I'll call Kang Kang over." Qi Mengmeng took the initiative to say.
Professor Jiang frowned, and Zhang Meiling frowned and said, "How about asking Kang Kang to ask?"
She didn't want to forgive Jiang Shengnan, but after all, that was her daughter she had carried for ten months and gave birth to. If she was about to die, she wanted to go and see her.
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's too late today." Professor Jiang wanted to take a break.
Qi Mengmeng nodded, chatted with the two old people for a few more words, and then went home.
The next day, Qi Mengmeng went to Professor Jiang's house first, and Kang Kang and Chen Xiaoyu came later.
This was the first time Zhang Meiling met Chen Xiaoyu. She picked up her reading glasses and looked at her for a long time, and tears fell from her eyes.
Chen Xiaoyu looks very similar to Jiang Shengnan when he was young.
"How is your mother's illness?" Professor Jiang broke the silence.
Before Chen Xiaoyu came, she had already learned about what happened that year from Jiang Shengnan, so there was uneasiness and shame on her face. When she heard Professor Jiang's question, she bit her lower lip.
"My mother's illness is very serious. The doctor said she needs a kidney transplant."
"Why is it so serious?" Zhang Meiling was a little anxious.
Chen Xiaoyu shook her head, not knowing what to say. Her mother's illness was discovered late, and it took some time before going to the hospital, so now she was just getting by.
"Can you go to the hospital to see my mother?" Chen Xiaoyu mustered up the courage to ask Professor Jiang and Zhang Meiling.
"My mother said she knew she was wrong."
