In town.
Old Madam Zhou and Zhou Guoqiang hurried to the Zhao family,
But they pounced on nothing.
Zhao Rongshan's wife had taken leave to take care of him in the hospital,
Zhao Jin'an and Zhou Hui were preparing for work in the school.
After looking at the tightly shut courtyard door of the Zhao family for a while,
Old Madam Zhou turned to Zhou Guoqiang and said, "Go to the hospital."
The neighbor on the left of the Zhao family, a middle-aged woman, had finished her lunch at home,
She was about to go out to work to continue her afternoon shift,
When she saw Zhou Guoqiang and his mother, she recognized them as Zhao Rongshan's relatives,
She said kindly, "Old Madam, you heard that something happened to your in-law and came to town to visit him, right?
I went to see him in the morning. He's in the orthopedics department on the third floor of the hospital,
Old Madam, don't go the wrong way. "
Old Madam Zhou had already scolded Zhao Rongshan, who had embezzled her money, in her heart. She still wanted to visit him? Bah!
However..,
She thought so in her heart,
On the surface, old Madam Zhou was watertight,
She said with a smile, "Yes, thank you for telling me,
I'll go to the hospital with my son now, so I won't talk to you anymore. "
"It's okay."
The neighbor smiled as he watched old Madam Zhou urge Zhou Guoqiang to drive the car away. He thought to himself that this old lady was quite close to his in-laws,
When he heard that something had happened to his in-laws,
He left his work in the field and rushed over to visit.
Little did he know..,
What old Madam Zhou was really anxious..,
It was her money.
..
"Xu Chunlian, did Zhao Rongsheng use my money to be hospitalized this time?"
Just as she found Zhao Rongshan's ward and saw Xu Chunlian's figure, old Madam Zhou asked in a sharp voice.
Zhou Guoqiang, who was following behind old Madam Zhou, was confused.
Why did his mother say that the Zhao family used their family's money?
Wasn't their family's money all kept by his mother? The Zhao family didn't even have any contact with it, right?
In fact, Zhao Rongshan had really embezzled old Madam Zhou's money when he was hospitalized for surgery this time.
However, only Zhao Jin'an and his wife knew about this matter.
As for Xu Chunlian, Zhao Jin 'an did not tell her. He only said that he had borrowed money from his relatives and friends for the surgery.
Therefore, when Xu Chunlian heard Old Madam Zhou's words, she was a little angry.
What kind of in-law was Old Madam Zhou?
Something had happened to their family's old man and he was hospitalized. When Old Madam Zhou came over, she didn't even say a word of concern. Instead, the first thing she did was to scold her and ask if she had used her money!
Zhao Rongshan, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by Old Madam Zhou's loud voice. His face was a little unhappy, but for Zhou Hui's sake, he didn't say anything excessive. Instead, he said in a weak voice:
"Where did these words come from, in-law?
When I, Zhao Rongshan, was admitted to the hospital, I should have used the Zhao family's money. At the very least, it was my son who went out to borrow money from his relatives and friends. How could we have gotten your money and used it for no reason? "
"Zhao Rongshan, don't play dumb with me!
Two days ago, when I went to your house, I gave Xiao Hui five hundred yuan. Xiao Hui temporarily kept it for me. Now that you're in trouble, Xiao Hui will definitely take out the money to pay for your expenses! "Old Madam Zhou immediately turned around and scolded Zhao Rongshan.
Zhou Guoqiang, who had been inexplicably sent by his mother to take her to town in an ox cart, suddenly understood after hearing Old Madam Zhou's words.
It turned out that his mother had not let him do the work and had anxiously asked him to borrow an ox cart to take her to town because she wanted to give the family's money to his younger sister to help her keep it!
There was a female teacher who had something to do the next day, so she switched classes with Zhou Hui in the afternoon. Zhou Hui's afternoon was free, so she rushed to the hospital to help her mother-in-law. She didn't expect that as soon as she entered the ward, she would hear her own mother's heart-wrenching words.
Zhou Hui's face was full of shame and helplessness. "Mom, what are you saying!"
Hearing Zhou Hui's voice, Old Madam Zhou immediately turned around and walked quickly to Zhou Hui. "Wretched girl, tell me, did you embezzle the money I asked you to keep?"
Zhou Hui was embarrassed and silent.
Seeing Zhou Hui's reaction, Old Madam Zhou understood everything.
Zhao Rongshan and Xu Chunlian also guessed something from Zhou Hui's silence.
Both of their expressions became complicated.
"Who told you to use the money?"
As Old Madam Zhou spoke, she raised her right hand high and slapped Zhou Hui's left cheek. "Do you know how long it took your mother, me, to save that money?
You're such an unfilial daughter! "
Zhou Hui didn't expect her mother to suddenly hit her. She wasn't alone now, she was pregnant. No matter how angry her mother was, she had to consider the safety of the child in her belly, right?
However, reality slapped her hard in the face.
Compared to the grandson in her belly, her mother valued the money that she didn't bring with her when she was born and didn't take with her when she died.
Zhou Hui, who fell to the ground from the slap, covered her red left cheek and couldn't help but cry. "I borrowed money from all my friends and family in Jin 'an, but I'm still short of a hundred yuan for father-in-law's surgery. If I don't take out the money, do I have to watch father-in-law get into trouble?" Would she still be human?
Moreover, if the money was gone, she could earn it back. If the person left, he would really leave!
"You're still in the right!" Old Madam Zhou stepped forward and bent down to slap Zhou Hui again.
However, Zhou Guoqiang, who had rushed to her side because of Old Madam Zhou's slap, grabbed her arm. "Mom, what are you doing?
No matter what, you can't hit your sister!
She's a person with two bodies now! "
Old Madam Zhou didn't care about her grandson and granddaughter, but Xu Chunlian did. When she saw Zhou Hui fall to the ground from her mother's slap, she was so angry that her heart hurt.
If she didn't know that her family had borrowed money from Old Madam Zhou, Xu Chunlian would have rushed over to fight with Old Madam Zhou!
She hurried to Zhou Hui's side and bent down to help Zhou Hui up. Xu Chunlian's face was full of concern. "Xiao Hui, are you okay?"
Zhou Hui's stomach actually hurt a little because of the fall just now. However, with her mother's aggressive manner, how could she let her off and let her rest?
She shook her head. "I'm fine."
Zhao Rongshan, who was lying on the hospital bed, let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Hui, how much money do you still have from your mother-in-law?
Just give it all to her today!
As for the hundred yuan that I've already used, go get a pen and paper. I'll personally write an IOU to my mother-in-law. "
"Dad, Jinan has already written an IOU for the hundred yuan. You don't have to write one."
With Zhao Rongshan's reminder, Old Madam Zhou remembered that compared to teaching Zhou Hui a lesson, it was more important to get the remaining money from Zhou Hui. Therefore, before Zhao Rongshan could react after hearing Zhou Hui's words, she hurriedly said, "That's right. Damn girl, hurry up and give me the rest of the money!"
"I left the money at home. I didn't bring it with me."
Old Madam Zhou hurriedly ordered Zhou Guoqiang, "Guoqiang, go get the ox cart from Jianxing School."
The primary school where Zhou Jianxing worked was right next to the hospital.
… …
Although she was very unwilling, the one hundred yuan had already been thrown into the hospital's big puddle. Old Madam Zhou knew that even if she forced her daughter to die now, the one hundred yuan wouldn't immediately appear in front of her. So, after taking the money and the IOU from the Zhao family, she could only resentfully leave.
On the other side … …
Because Xu Chunlian had to take care of Zhao Rongshan, she couldn't leave and couldn't go back to the Zhao family with Zhou Hui. Therefore, she could only let Zhou Hui take Zhou Guoqiang and his mother back alone.
However, she didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Xu Chunlian took the hot water bottle and poured water into the cup on the table next to Zhao Rongshan's bed. She absentmindedly poured the water until it overflowed.
"Don't pour, the cup is full!"
Zhao Rongshan sensed that something was wrong and turned his head to look. He saw the water overflowing from the cup, overflowing the table and dripping to the floor. He hurriedly stopped her.
Xu Chunlian snapped out of her daze and hurriedly straightened the hot water bottle. After plugging it, she put it on the floor.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xu Chunlian touched her chest, "I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy."
Zhao Rongshan's left eyelid twitched.
If he heard his wife say this before his accident, he would definitely laugh at her. What was there to be uneasy about?
However, after his accident, Xu Chunlian told him that when he was in the accident, she felt very uneasy while working in the workshop. However, she didn't know what was going on.
After that, she found out that he was in an accident.
Zhao Rongshan first felt his own body. En, he didn't feel anything wrong. Then, Jinan, no, it was his daughter-in-law!
Previously, in the ward he was staying in, his in-law slapped his daughter-in-law so hard that she fell to the floor!
Thinking of this, Zhao Rongshan's expression immediately became nervous. He hurriedly ordered Xu Chunlian, "Hurry up and go to the hospital's reception office. Borrow their phone and call Jinan from the school. Ask him to ask for leave to visit his wife at home. Xiao Hui fell to the floor before. Nothing bad happened to her."
Xu Chunlian didn't know why she suddenly felt uneasy before. Now that she heard Zhao Rongshan's words, she immediately linked her anxiety to Zhou Hui.
Aiya!
How could she have forgotten about this!
