Chapter 329 - "Call the cops. We must call the cops now." (2)
“I’ve told them already that I can take her to see a doctor in capital city. They would spend what they have at home first and I will cover what is remaining. It’s not like I would watch her die without helping out. Nope, she wouldn’t go for that at all. All she wanted was for you to return. She even made up how some fortuneteller said to have you return and that she would be cured when you return. If she dies, then it’s on you. How ridiculous was that?”
Shu Yan rolled her eyes and snickered. “If she was still saying stuff like that, she can’t be that sick.”
What kind of illness would require her to return? She even conjured up this so-called fortuneteller. That really made her speechless.
“Third Brother, you can just tell them that I won’t be returning. She had always said that her sons would be there for her when she gets old. Why aren’t her sons taking care of her now that she is sick? What is the point of looking for the daughter that they had sold off a long time ago?” Shu Yan felt very said for the original owner. What kind of parents were these?
Shu Jianyang, too, felt that his Second Aunty’s family were being unreasonable. “Okay, I know what to do then. Don’t worry about things back here. I’ll let you know when I find out more.”
“Alright. Thanks, Third Brother,” said Shu Yan, feeling slightly embarrassed.
“All good. I have no idea whether I am doing you a favor at all. Sometimes I thought it might be better for you if we have no contact with each other at all. That way you can get on with your life peacefully and not be bothered by the craziness back at your parents’ place.” Shu Jianyang hesitated for a long time before he reached out to her.
Shu Yan went silent for a little while and said, “No, you’ve done the right thing. I’m sorry for putting you in this position.”
Shu Jianyang had done nothing wrong. He was stuck between this mother and daughter. He worried that Shu Yan would be bothered by what happened if he told her; he also worried that if something really happened, Shu Yan would regret had he not told her.
Inside the #1 Hospital in City Xi, Lin Zixiang rolled and grumbled, “Do you think Shu Jianyang had called up Shu Yan yet?”
“Of course he did. Mom’s in so much pain. How could he not?” said Shu Jianbin confidently with one leg crossed over the other.
“You don’t know that for sure. That sister of yours is like a whole different person ever since the divorce. She was a ruthless one,” said Wu Xianfeng enigmatically, wife of Shu Jianbin, while holding their child.
“How could she not come back when I am in so much pain? I am sure she will return. And when she does, I sure am going to skin her alive,” said Lin Zixiang through gritted teeth with the thought of Shu Yan.
“Mom, Mom, Mom. Shu Jianyang is heading this way,” said Shu Jianxiang, second of the three brothers, who had been waiting by the door.
“Oh my gosh. My stomach is hurting so much~~~~~~ Doctor, I am dying from this pain~~~~~”
As soon as Shu Jianyang walked inside, he saw Lin Zixiang laying there, pale. He frowned a little said asked, “Can you give her some pain reliever? She looks like she is in a lot of pain.”
“She already had some. We can’t give her more.”
The doctor asked her some routine questions, palpated around her stomach and, not being able to do much more, told her to just bear with it.
“Have you called Shu Yan up yet? What did she say?” asked Shu Youfu eagerly.
“I made the call.” Shu Jianyang noticed that the eyes of everyone in the room lit up. He said nonchalantly, “Shu Yan said that for as long as she could remember, both you and Second Aunty had always said that your sons would take care of you when you get old and that daughters will belong to other families. Now that she had been married, she was somebody else’s. It so happened that you have three sons now that you are sick. If you want to head to capital city, I will arrange for a car to bring you there. She will split the cost with her three brothers.”
