"Sister-in-law!" Qi Taiguo hurriedly called out when he saw the womanâs figure.
The little girl also looked a bit flustered, "Mom!"
"Niannian, be good, Uncle will go take a look!" Qi Taiguo quickly comforted her, then walked out briskly.
Cheng Su thought for a moment, then walked to Niannianâs bedside, calling her name. The little girl looked at her curiously.
"I am your uncleâs wife, you can call me Aunt!" Cheng Su took out a cloth doll from her bag and handed it over, "A welcome gift for you!"
This little cloth doll, she bought from a stall at the hospital entrance. As she came in earlier, she saw the shop and just impulsively bought the doll, who knew it would come in handy.
"Thank you, Aunt!" Niannianâs eyes lit up, and she hugged the doll lovingly.
Cheng Su patted her head, looking at the childâs thin hands, still attached to a needle, her face pale with very little flesh, her heart ached sharply.
Hualing also couldnât bear it, turning her head away, gently stroking her belly, thinking, a child with a father and mother is the happiest.
After comforting the child for a while, Cheng Su walked out of the ward. In the corner, Little Yu was squatting there with her legs hugged, burying her head in tears. Qi Taiguo was standing in front of her, at a loss, seeing Cheng Su like seeing a savior.
"Sister-in-law." Cheng Su squatted down, tentatively touching Little Yuâs hand.
Little Yu lifted her head, seeing Cheng Su, hurriedly wiped away her tears, pulling out a slight smile, "Look at me, you must be Taiguoâs partner!"
"Yes, my name is Cheng Su!" Cheng Su helped her stand up, her voice just like on the phone, which was indeed her calling a few days ago.
Little Yuâs face was also exceptionally pale, as she stood up, her foot wobbled, almost falling to the ground. Luckily, Cheng Su quickly supported her.
"First meeting and I make you see a joke!" Little Yu said.
"Itâs okay." Cheng Su held her hand, glanced down. Her hands were rough and cracked, dirt embedded under her nails, indicating she usually did hard labor.
Compared to her own hands, which were fair and delicate, always cared for and maintained, the contrast was stark.
Little Yu also noticed, awkwardly pulling back her hand, hiding it behind her back.
Cheng Su acted as if she hadnât seen, with a faint smile on her face.
"I heard Taiguo married a good wife, and indeed, you two match well." Little Yu said, seeing them standing together, smiling.
"Thank you." Cheng Su smiled politely, "Sister-in-law called home a few days ago, right? Why not leave a name, it made us guess for a long time."
Little Yu gave a bitter smile, "Itâs not a good thing, and it alarmed you!"
"Niannian is sick, this is important. Just now, Hualing said sheâs malnourished. What happened? How did it come to malnutrition?" Qi Taiguo was a bit upset, he clearly had given money.
Little Yuâs eyes reddened, shamefully lowering her head.
Cheng Su signaled to Qi Taiguo with a glance, softly said, "Sister-in-law, ignore him, he just has a hot temper, itâs not blaming you!"
"Itâs my fault. If I werenât useless, the child wouldnât be like this, itâs all my fault!" Little Yu cried.
Just as Qi Taiguo was about to speak, another nurse came over. Seeing Little Yu, she said, "Bed four, your medical fees owed today must be settled, if not, youâll have to be discharged immediately!"
Little Yuâs face turned white.
Qi Taiguo was stunned, owing medical fees, what does that mean, that it means they donât even have money for treatment, how could this happen?
