Seeing Jiang's mother proudly showing off her gold bracelet, the couple on the nearby hospital bed had faces as black as ink.
This is a typical example of a petty person gaining power.
"What's so special about a lousy bracelet that you're going to brag about?"
The wife of the patient in the next bed gave Jiang's mother a disdainful look, clearly looking down on her.
The patient chimed in, "That's just how it is for poor people who haven't seen the world. Don't take it to heart."
The whispers reached Jiang's mother's ears.
Although she couldn't hear what the other person said clearly, she could tell from their expression that they looked down on her.
Jiang's mother felt that the couple were only jealous of her gold bracelet, which was why they acted this way.
"It's so great to have a gold bracelet to wear, unlike some people who are so poor that they can only be envious and jealous."
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that it's aimed at them.
"Hey!"
The wife of the patient in the next bed couldn't swallow her anger and was about to retort, but her husband stopped her, saying, "Don't lower yourself to the level of this kind of person."
In order not to affect her husband's condition, the wife of the patient in the next bed temporarily held back her anger. If Jiang's mother didn't know better, she would definitely have a huge fight with her.
Jiang Yimei, in her hospital room, witnessed the entire incident.
She felt extremely ashamed of what her mother had done.
Receiving a gold bracelet is one thing, but why flaunt it? It's especially impolite in front of strangers.
This personality trait is so deeply ingrained that she can't persuade her mother to change it, so she can only sulk here.
Jiang's father stood on his wife's side because yesterday, the patient in the next bed was showing off how powerful he was. What's wrong with them showing off their rich husband?
...
A week later, after the examination showed no problems, Jiang's father had the stitches removed and went home. He would come back a month later to have the remaining stitches removed.
He returned to his little house.
Looking at the dilapidated walls and old things, they suddenly felt a pang of sadness, their hearts filled with longing for Lin Congzhi's mansion in the big city.
"It's been a week, and Xiaolin hasn't called once. I wonder if he's forgotten about us."
"Maybe he's busy with work, why don't we call him?" Jiang's mother leaned closer, her eyes darting around, looking eager to get started.
“This…” Jiang’s father hesitated for a moment, then replied, “Okay.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yimei immediately frowned and stopped her parents' impolite behavior without thinking: "Mom and Dad, you need to think this through. Lin Congzhi is an outsider and has no blood relation with you. If you lose your precious daughter because of him, you should consider the consequences yourselves."
Jiang's mother was immediately displeased: "Oh dear, what is this child saying? Can't the two coexist?"
“No,” Jiang Yimei replied firmly.
Jiang's mother began to lecture: "Let me tell you, your parents have been through this before. You won't be happy with that Jiang Ze; the day you're no longer of any use to him, he'll dump you."
Jiang Yimei disagreed: "Everything has its good and bad sides. Why do you only see Lin Congzhi's good points but not his bad points? Why do you only see Jiang Ze's bad points but not his good points?"
Speaking of this, Jiang's mother got angry and rattled off a whole bunch of things: "His only advantage is that he used some tricks to win you over in school. What kind of nonsense advantage is that? His real advantage is his ability in society. Without that ability, he's destined to fail in society."
