A woman about ten years younger than her curled her lip and said disapprovingly, "Big Sister, are you joking? The Old Master is not doing well now, and if you really bring up Xiao Sixth to him, will he be okay?"
"Laosan, speak properly!" a woman with short curls scolded her.
What does "will he be okay" even mean? This kind of talk is uncomfortable to hear.
That Laosan earlier snorted, "Second Sister-in-law, you heard what Big Sister said too. Isnât she just coming up with terrible ideas? All these years, who dares to casually mention Xiao Sixth?"
"Ah, yes, Big Sister, we canât mention Xiao Sixth."
"Then what should we do? Do we just stand by and watch the Old Master worry himself sick?"
"Isnât it said that Doctor Chen is already on his way to D State with the medicine? I think he can definitely save the Old Master." the Second Sister-in-law said.
"Do you think Ying Qiong will come back?"
"Of course sheâll come back. We, the nieces and nieces-in-law, are all here. Wouldnât a biological granddaughter come back?"
"It would be great if Ying Qiong could come back. I think she has some good ideas," Laosan said. "Then we wonât have to keep listening to those brothers squabble all the time."
This remark caused the othersâ faces to change slightly.
"Laosan, why are you talking nonsense again!"
Another woman with a round bun on her head, who had been silent all along, couldnât help but scold after hearing this.
This Laosan, truly, can say anything.
Everything about those brothers is sensitive in the Jiang Family right now. On the surface, everything seems harmonious, yet thereâs turmoil underneath. Anyone whoâs not entirely foolish knows this. Who dares to speak carelessly?
This Laosan is bound to cause trouble sooner or later.
"I was just saying," Laosan said somewhat sheepishly, "after all, my dad is mild-tempered and honest, without many thoughts, as you all know."
Laosanâs father, Fifth Master Jiang, truly has an honest and taciturn personality. Others have their own private thoughts and some seem difficult to deal with. But everyone feels that Fifth Master Jiang doesnât have any intentions.
"Fifth Master is good-natured, but you talk too much!" the Second Sister-in-law glanced at her.
Today, most of the Jiang Familyâs women were gathered here. Ever since the Old Master had an incident, the men were all preoccupied, each with their own tasks; they were nowhere to be seen, but naturally, they couldnât let others feel as if they werenât concerned about the Old Master. So they sent the women who were available.
But Doctor Chen wouldnât let them in to see the Old Master, saying that he was still unconscious and they should wait until his uncle, Chen Baoshen, arrives to take a look.
Doctor Chenâs words didnât carry much weight, but Ying Qiong did make a call to instruct the Jiang Family to follow Doctor Chenâs lead regarding the Old Master.
Ying Qiong is the Old Masterâs biological granddaughter, and most significantly, sheâs the Head Chiefâs Wife. Who in the Jiang Family would dare not listen to her?
At least on the surface, no one dared to go against her.
Chen Baoshenâs nephew inside overheard their vague conversation, lowered his gaze involuntarily, and looked at the Old Master Jiang on the bed with some melancholy.
Yet the women outside were unaware that the Old Master Jiang was actually awake and not as they thought, in a coma.
But his eyes seemed very clouded, his complexion was grayish, and his lips appeared somewhat blackened.
"Old Master, donât worry. My uncle called and said heâs bringing excellent medicine. Heâs sure to cure you."
