Before he could finish speaking, Chen Nianlai said weakly, "Dad, what did you say? If you hadn't used your legs to catch the iron box, I would have been paralyzed in bed. Didn't the doctor say that?
Well, it’s just a little bit close, otherwise I’ll really be paralyzed. Hurry up and have dinner with me.”
Jiang Xin also persuaded Jiang Kun, and Jiang Kun agreed to eat pancakes, but left the eggs for Chen Nianlai and Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin knew in her heart that her father cared about her and her mother, but he was a little foolish and filial, so he was led by his grandmother.
There are three beds in the ward, one for each of Jiang Xin's parents, and one is empty.
In her last life, she was busy harvesting wheat at home and didn't come over to see her parents at all. She didn't know about the availability of beds.
Seeing an empty bed, Jiang Xin felt a little lucky that she could sleep on this bed that night.
After dinner, Chen Nianlai realized something was wrong and said to Jiang Xin, "Daughter, you are busy harvesting wheat now. You are not at home to help. Why did you come to the county seat?"
Jiang Xin had no intention of hiding it, and tears streamed down her cheeks, "Mom and Dad, I suffered from heatstroke today and fainted in the wheat field. I wanted to go home and rest for a while, but my grandma didn't agree and beat me. Fortunately, the villagers stopped me, but I
Grandma confuses right and wrong, saying that I hit her, and everyone in the village is watching, and they all know that I didn’t hit her, but she hit me..."
Having said this, he raised his arm and let his parents see the bruises on it.
When Chen Nianlai saw those bruises, he was so distressed that he burst into tears.
"Jiang Kun, I told you that your mother does one thing in front of you and another behind your back, but you still don't believe it!"
Jiang Kun defended his mother, "Xinxin, your grandma has a bad temper. Your mother and I were injured and hospitalized, so we can't help with the wheat harvest. Your grandma is angry and is taking it out on you. Please be more patient."
Jiang Xin felt a little uncomfortable and patiently explained to her father, "Dad, my grandma hit me more than once. She didn't allow me to tell you before. She said that if I told you, she would take it out on Yingying. Today I will tell you.
Because I don’t want to bear it anymore. Yingying is only six years old.
She has a four-year-old child, but my grandma arranged for her to cook for the family. Today at noon, she stepped on a stool to add water to the stove pot and almost fell in! Fortunately, I found it when I got home, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous! It doesn't matter if I get beaten or starved.
But I can’t just watch something happen to Yingying.”
Jiang Kun didn't expect that his own mother would do such a thing, and he clenched his fists angrily, "Xinxin, after I am discharged from the hospital, have a good talk with your grandma! You stay here for one night and rush back early tomorrow morning to help
Harvest the wheat."
Jiang Xin was a little helpless and stopped continuing the topic, let alone the separation of the family, because she knew her father and would never fall out with her grandma because of these few words.
Jiang Kun didn't know that his mother had never thought of paying for the medical expenses. Soon, he would experience the bitterness of being given up by his own mother.
Chen Nianlai disagreed with Jiang Kun's words, but did not directly refute her husband. Instead, he looked at his daughter, "Xinxin, what was the attitude of your second uncle and your grandfather after you woke up from heat stroke in the wheat field?"
Jiang Xin smiled bitterly, "They pretended not to see or hear, and kept their heads down harvesting wheat."
"Isn't this acquiescing to your grandma to order you around?" Chen Nianlai suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "Your grandma lets your sister cook, do your second uncle and your grandpa support it?"
Jiang Xin told the truth, "Not only did he support it, my second uncle also said that since the eldest brother and sister-in-law are not at home, the two children should take care of the household chores."
Chen Nianlai could no longer suppress his anger and said to her husband, "Did you hear it? We don't work at home, and the children have to take care of us. Why aren't we at home? It's not because of the second child's fault!
If he hadn't tripped you up, why would I have gone over and endured the bricks and iron boxes for you at all costs? If it hadn't been for my second son, why would we have spent our family's money in the hospital? We paid such a high price for him, how could he?
To our children?”
Jiang Kun still defended Jiang Yuan, "Nian Lai, the second brother has already explained to me that he didn't do it on purpose. He was trying to avoid the bricks above and accidentally tripped me. We are not at home, so we must not
If the children do more work, they can share some of the burden with the family..."
Jiang Xin couldn't stand listening, "Dad, I won't go back tomorrow. I'll wait until you and my mother are discharged from the hospital, and when will I go home, because I'm afraid of being beaten to death by my grandma. My grandma is a loving mother in front of you, and between me and
My sister is like a tigress in front of me. My sister and I have suffered a lot. I didn’t tell you and my mother before because I didn’t want to cause trouble to the family. If you don’t welcome me to take care of you and my mother in the hospital, I will
I’ll leave now, but I will never go back to Jiang’s house.”
Jiang Kun felt conflicted. He looked out the window and saw that it was already dark. He sighed, "It's dark outside and it's not safe. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow morning."
Chen Nianlai took Jiang Xin's hand with apologetic eyes, "Xinxin, I'm sorry! It was me who failed to protect you and Yingying. I am an incompetent mother. I usually tolerate your grandma for the sake of your father.
You and Yingying will also lose their status. Don't worry, it won't happen again in the future. Your father is willing to be filial to your grandma. I can't control it, but I will never allow your grandma to bully you and Yingying again."
Jiang Xin felt a little warm in her heart, "Mom, I don't blame you, but I blame myself too much for the love of my grandparents, so I work hard and don't complain. I will no longer expect their love in the future. As long as our family of four is safe."
Jiang Xin knew that he was also responsible for causing today's situation. Fortunately, he was reborn and allowed himself to realize this.
Jiang Kun didn't believe it. He lowered his head and thought. His mother, who was so good to him, was so bad to his children in private. He didn't expect that his second brother, whom he had loved since childhood, would not love his children.
Jiang Xin caught the disbelief in Jiang Kun's eyes and said softly, "Dad, let's make a bet?"
Jiang Kun looked up at Jiang Xin, "What are you betting on?"
Jiang Xin patted the reminder receipts placed next to the hospital bed, "I bet my grandma won't admit it after seeing these reminder receipts."
Jiang Kun immediately waved his hand, "Impossible! I am your grandma's eldest son, and there is absolutely no way she will deny it. She said that there is still some money in the family, enough to treat me and your mother."
"That's because grandma is worried that my second uncle will be convicted of negligence. Now that the matter has been suppressed, tomorrow you will send someone to send a message to my grandma and ask her to send money. She said that she doesn't have five hundred yuan, so she can send two hundred yuan first.
Okay, let’s see if she can still treat you and my mother!”
Jiang Kun just didn't believe it. He was so excited by his daughter and said immediately, "No need for tomorrow. I can call the village office right now and ask someone to help inform your grandma to send money tomorrow morning. I am your grandma's most beloved eldest son."
.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xin almost laughed angrily. Wang Chunling often said this to Jiang Kun, but in fact, it was her second son who felt most distressed.
