Quick Wear: The heroine refuses to be in love

Chapter 829 Parents Who Don't Understand (4)

Remembering his aunt's past behavior, Xu Ming asked directly, "Then who will pay for their accommodation and meals? Are we supposed to pay for them?"

"Guests are always welcome." Du Lan said somewhat unhappily, "Have you forgotten how good your aunt used to be to you? She would bring you peaches and other fruits when they were ripe."

Xu Ming said angrily, "It's as if our family didn't bring her anything. Anyway, this time when they come, you and my dad are not allowed to pay anything."

"Why are you getting more and more stingy as you get older?"

Du Lan glared at Xu Ming and said somewhat displeasedly, "She's your aunt, not an outsider. What's wrong with spending a little money on her? Besides, it's not like you're paying for it."

Xu Ming was furious. "You didn't ask me to pay, but I feel bad for your money. That's what you worked so hard to earn. Why should you let outsiders spend it?"

His eyes blazed with fury: "My sister and I have grown up together, has our aunt ever spent a single penny on us? No, not even a red envelope for Chinese New Year."

Why should her family have to spend money on her just because he comes?

Du Lan said angrily, "How long ago was that? Do you still remember? After that, your father and I didn't give Xixi and the others any money either."

To be precise, she stopped giving red envelopes only after her daughter made a scene and even planned to cause trouble at her sister's house.

"Anyway, I won't allow it. If you spend money on her, I'll block you like my sister did and never care about you again."

"How dare you?" Du Lan roared in fury.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I'm graduating soon anyway. I'll go somewhere you can't find me and never come back," Xu Ming threatened.

Du Lan slapped her thigh in anger and wailed, "Why am I so unlucky? I gave birth to two ungrateful children, both of them want to abandon me... Waaaaah..."

She cried while keeping an eye on Xu Ming's movements.

But Xu Ming looked down at her with a cold gaze.

Their eyes met, and Xu Ming said coldly, "I mean what I say. If you don't believe me, you can try."

"You child..."

Du Lan didn't dare gamble on that possibility; she had already lost a child.

At this moment, Xu Shouchang also woke up and, knowing that Du Yan was coming, was somewhat unhappy: "What is she coming for?"

Du Lan was somewhat displeased, "She misses me, her older sister, so what's wrong with her coming to see me?"

Neither of them liked her sister, as if her sister had done something heinous.

"Look at you?" Xu Shoucheng sneered. "I'm not stupid. Do you think I don't know what she's up to?"

She simply thought that since they were coming to enjoy the trip, she could also bring her child to take advantage of the situation and have a free trip.

“My sister isn’t that kind of person,” Du Lan retorted.

"No?" Xu Shoucheng said sarcastically, "Then wait until she gets here and see if she takes out her money or not."

Du Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and sat alone in the corner, sulking.

Xu Shoucheng ignored her and asked his son, "Are you hungry? Let's go downstairs and get something to eat."

After a nap, I felt much better, but I was a little hungry.

Xu Ming nodded: "Okay."

The two went downstairs and went directly to a restaurant.

Xu Shoucheng ordered several dishes in a lavish manner.

Xu Ming looked at him in surprise and said in a joking tone, "Aren't we going to live our lives anymore?"

"What's the big deal? It's better than giving the money to Du Yanhua," Xu Shoucheng said nonchalantly.

Xu Ming smiled and tentatively said, "Dad, don't spend money on your uncle's family. Let's all spend our money on ourselves, eating well and dressing well."

Xu Shouchang fell silent. "Your uncle is different from your aunt?"

Xu Ming pursed his lips. What's different?

They're all always trying to get something for nothing.

Xu Ming took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, I'm putting this out there today. From now on, if you or Mom spend money on outsiders, I'll run away from home like my sister and never come back."

Xu Shouchang's face instantly darkened. Forgetting that they were outside, he slammed his hand on the table: "You dare?"

"I mean what I say," Xu Ming said coldly.

He had long disliked his parents' behavior; they were frugal with themselves but extravagant with outsiders.

From a young age, whenever my family bought something delicious, they would give it to outsiders.

What a load of rubbish! Going to her house is like guarding against a thief.

As for giving him the fruit from home, that's only because we couldn't finish it all and it was about to spoil and be thrown away.

I will never give him fruit when it is freshly ripe, even if he stares at it longingly.

How could his mother possibly spend money on such a aunt? Xu Shoucheng was furious, feeling that Xu Jinhuan had set a bad example, causing his son to go astray and become completely unfilial.

Seeing that his father remained silent, Xu Ming knew he had won.

He stared intently at his father: "Dad, I'll be watching you."

Xu Shouchang's eyes blazed with anger, but he held back and said irritably, "Alright, I know, let's eat!"

The restaurant owner breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two had stopped arguing.

His little shop can't withstand a fight.

The dishes were served one by one, and the two began to eat heartily. It had been a long time since they had eaten so well. After they finished eating...

Xu Mingcai remembered his mother was still at the hotel and asked his father, "Should we bring some for Mom?"

"Just bring her some porridge; she won't eat anything else," Xu Shoucheng said.

Xu Ming nodded.

The father and son brought the porridge back to the hotel, where they found Du Lan lying on the bed, clutching her stomach and crying out in pain.

"What's wrong?" Xu Shoucheng asked, frowning.

"My stomach hurts so much, please take me to the hospital, I can't take it anymore," Du Lan said in pain.

Xu Ming and Xu Shoucheng exchanged a glance and quickly took Du Lan to the hospital. After the doctor examined her, he said that Du Lan had acute gastroenteritis and needed to be hospitalized.

Xu Shoucheng frowned and said, "Then let's admit him to the hospital!"

then……

When Du Yan and Chen tide got off the train, they didn't see Du Lan anywhere.

"Is Auntie angry?" Chen tide asked worriedly.

Du Yan was a little angry. "I'll call her and ask."

As she spoke, she dialed Du Lan's number, but no one answered for a long time.

Seeing this, Chen tide looked around anxiously: "Mom, what do we do now? We don't know anyone here." Du Yan took a deep breath and said: "Your aunt might have something to do. I'll call your uncle."

She dialed Xu Shoucheng's number again, and this time the call was answered quickly.

"Your sister is hospitalized at the First People's Hospital. You need to come right away."

Xu Shoucheng hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, not giving Du Yan a chance to say anything more.

Du Yan frowned. Why was he hospitalized when he was perfectly fine?

"Should we go to the hospital?" Chen tide asked.

"Go ahead, otherwise we'll have nowhere to stay."

Du Yan didn't buy anything and took Chen tide straight to the First People's Hospital.

Upon entering, I saw Du Lan on the hospital bed, her face deathly pale.

"What happened to you?"

When this was mentioned, Du Lan seemed a little awkward: "I ate something bad."

Actually, it was overeating that irritated the gastrointestinal mucosa.

"What did the doctor say? How long will I need to stay in the hospital?"

"I don't know," Du Lan shook her head. "They said they would observe, but we don't know how much it will cost."

She was filled with regret, wishing she hadn't added noodles.

That's such a bad deal!

Du Yan sat down on the edge of the bed, and after a short while she said she was a little hungry. As she spoke, she looked at Du Lan expectantly.

Just as Du Lan was about to ask her son to take Du Yan and Chen tide out to dinner, she met her son's somewhat cold gaze.

She pursed her lips and said to Du Yan, "Then take Xixi out to eat. There's a street outside that specializes in food."

Chen tide's eyes lit up.

Du Yan hesitated, "How much will that cost? Xixi and I didn't bring much money with us this time."

"Sis, could you lend me some money?"

She was a little unhappy. What was wrong with her sister?

Normally, shouldn't they just have someone take them down to eat and take good care of them?

They've come all this way, and it's so rude of them to ask me to go out to eat.

Du Lan subconsciously looked at her son.

"Auntie, you don't bring any money with you when you go on vacation?" Xu Ming asked with a mocking look.

Du Yan laughed awkwardly, "I left in such a hurry that I forgot. You can lend me some first, and I'll pay you back when I get back."

She looked at Du Lan, "Sister, are you still worried that I won't pay it back?"

She was somewhat saddened, "We've been sisters for so many years, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Before Du Lan could speak, Xu Ming said directly, "Auntie, when have you ever paid back the money you borrowed from my family? A few years ago, your family borrowed 30,000 yuan from my family to build a house, and you haven't paid back a single penny yet."

Upon hearing this, Du Yan's face flushed red, and she said somewhat angrily, "It's not like I didn't pay you back on purpose. I'm just short of money. Otherwise, I would have paid you back long ago."

Xu Ming sneered, "You're short on cash but still go on vacation, and you deliberately don't bring any money with you, trying to fool my mother like she's an idiot."

When Du Yan was exposed to her face, she was a little exasperated: "What nonsense are you talking about, child!"

She looked at Du Lan and said, "Is this how you usually teach your child at home? I'm his aunt, and you have no manners at all."

"I may be impolite, but I'm still better than some people who borrow money and don't pay it back!" Xu Ming sneered.

Du Yan was so angry that she jumped up and down: "What nonsense are you talking about, child? How could I not pay it back? Didn't I tell you that I'm short of money?"

"As for saying I was going on a trip before, it was just because I was worried about your mother, so I said that on purpose."

Xu Ming snorted coldly: "You really know how to flatter yourself."

Seeing the two arguing, Du Lan quickly tried to mediate: "Stop arguing, talk it out."

"Where did I start the argument? It was clearly your son who deliberately tried to smear me." Du Yan said, feeling wronged. "Sister, if you don't like me, I'll leave right now."

"Then go ahead!" Xu Ming rushed to the door and gestured for her to leave. "Auntie, go ahead."

Du Yan's face turned red with anger, and she stomped her feet a few times in frustration: "Fine, I'm leaving!"

She looked at Du Lan and threatened, "Sister, if I leave today, you'll lose me as your sister!"

Upon hearing this, Du Lan was about to reprimand Xu Ming, but Xu Ming preemptively said:

"Mom, you have to choose between me and Auntie. Do you want to be part of my family, or your family with Auntie?"

Du Lan glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, of course I'm family with you."

"Then let your aunt leave." Xu Ming stared at her and said, word by word.

Du Lan turned to look at her younger sister and said helplessly, "Yanzi, you should go back first."

Du Yan was furious, her eyes were red, and she used her trump card: "Sister, have you forgotten what Mom told you before she passed away?"

"Don't try that trick on me!" Xu Ming said sternly. "My mother has taken good care of you enough, don't push your luck!"

"Sister, say something! Mom asked you to take good care of me, and you promised," Du Yan said, staring into Du Lan's eyes.

Du Lan instinctively wanted to comfort her sister, but remembering what her son had said, she dared not gamble!

She didn't dare look Du Yan in the eye, and said with her head down, "Mingming makes sense. You should go first, and we can talk about it later."

Du Yan couldn't take it anymore and glared at Du Lan fiercely: "Fine, I'll leave. Once we're out this door, we'll cut all ties."

After she finished speaking, she stormed out of the ward.

Chen tide was playing on her phone when she saw her mother leave, so she hurriedly chased after her. When she reached the door of the ward, she pushed Xu Ming hard and said, "I don't have a cousin like you anymore!"

"If you don't have it, you don't have it." Xu Ming snorted dismissively.

His cousin is just like his mother, always trying to take advantage of him. Every now and then she sends him links and asks him to buy things for her.

He refused countless times, but she still persisted.

Now I can finally delete her.

Thinking this, Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Chen tide got even angrier and stretched out her leg to kick Xu Ming. Xu Ming quickly dodged, and Chen tide missed her kick, almost falling over.

Her eyes blazed with fury, and she said through gritted teeth, "Xu Ming, you just wait!"

Xu Ming rolled his eyes, reached out and pushed her out, then closed the ward door without hesitation.

Outside the door, Chen tide stomped her feet in anger.

She went to her mother and complained, "Mom, my cousin went too far. I don't want to acknowledge him anymore."

"Fine, I won't admit it then." Du Yan was also very angry.

The two left the hospital.

Chen tide looked around and asked curiously, "Mom, where are we going next?"

She didn't want to go out before, but her mother said she would take her out to play, so she went out.

"Let's go for a walk around." Actually, Du Yan had money on her.

“Okay, I’ll search for the nearest tourist attractions,” Chen tide said happily.

"The closest one to us is the former residence of a historical figure. Mom, do you want to go see it?"

Du Yan was reluctant to go; what was so interesting about a dilapidated house?

But she didn't want to spoil her daughter's fun, so she nodded in agreement.

In the ward.

Du Lan looked at Xu Ming and sighed repeatedly.

Xu Ming was annoyed by her sighing: "Mom, if you keep doing this, I'm going to run away from home like my sister."

Du Lan took a deep breath and said with a helpless expression, "Alright, I won't sigh anymore. Go ask the doctor how long it will take for me to be discharged?"

Every minute and every second she spent there felt like torture.

As soon as he left, Du Lan said to Xu Shoucheng, "Are we going to be manipulated by him like this from now on?"

If things continue like this, where will their authority as parents be?

Xu Shoucheng sighed, "What can we do?"

Du Lan said angrily, "It's all that brat Xu Jinhuan's fault. If it weren't for her, Mingming wouldn't be like this."
