Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Su Wanwan saw something like shame in Xu Lan's eyes, but it was only a glance and Su Wanwan didn't see it clearly.

After Xu Yan left, she didn't know how to face Old Man Xu, or what to say... She could only smile awkwardly.

Wait... they prepared gifts and red envelopes before coming. Just now, it seemed that she only gave out the gifts she brought, but forgot to give the red envelopes.

Thinking of this, Su Wanwan subconsciously glanced at the bag in her hand. Just as she was about to raise her hand to take out the red envelope from it, she suddenly heard Xu En on the bed next to her clear his throat several times -

"Dad, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

After Xu Yan left, she could clearly feel that Xu En was no longer as nervous as before, and even his attitude of speaking became more wild.

Su Wanwan found it hard to imagine how he could speak to her father in that tone. However, when Old Man Xu heard Xu En talking to him, he immediately turned his head with some effort, and made a look of distressed thinking. After a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, his gaze slowly moved to Su Wanwan's face again.

Su Wanwan's heart was beating fast, but she curled the corners of her mouth and put on a very appropriate smile.

"Um...you are Wanwan from the village chief's family." Old man Xu finally spoke. His tone was neither polite nor friendly. Su Wanwan felt very uncomfortable listening to him.

"Yes, uncle. I should have come to the county to see you before, but there were many things going on in the village, so I couldn't spare the time. I have been waiting until now to come to the hospital to visit you. I am really ashamed. Please don't be angry with me."

Su Wanwan finished the conversation openly, and Old Man Xu's expression changed noticeably.

"Yeah, it's okay. I also heard in the hospital, ahem... I heard that you guys opened a factory in the village, making that kind of incense. You're very busy all day long and made a lot of money."

Su Wanwan didn't know why Old Man Xu was suddenly so enthusiastic towards her, so she just didn't answer and nodded.

"I heard that it was you who proposed to set up a factory in the village. You are smart." Old Man Xu followed up with another compliment.

Su Wanwan was even more confused.

"In the beginning, our whole family didn't know... ahem, we didn't know what Xu Yan was doing outside, where did he get so much money, and we were always worried that he would do something bad. Now, he has made so much money, has such a nice car, and has built a formal factory. We don't have to worry about him anymore."

Su Wanwan frowned slightly, not knowing how to respond.

Did Old Man Xu really worry about Xu Yan?

In her limited memory, Old Man Xu didn't seem to care about Xu Yan except that he felt that Xu Yan had lost his face. Even if he was worried, he was only worried that Xu Yan had done something shameful outside and that it would eventually involve his family, right?

Although Su Wanwan thought so in her heart, she did not show it on the surface and continued to nod in agreement with Old Man Xu.

"Oh, what a pity."

Hearing the sudden change in Old Man Xu's tone, Su Wanwan seemed to understand.

This is something I want to say.

"What a pity?" Su Wanwan asked, following Old Man Xu's thoughts.

"It's a pity that he made so much money outside, became successful, and enjoyed the best of everything. What kind of life do the rest of us in the family have to live..."

Su Wanwan was full of questions.

If Xu Yan made money and only cared about enjoying himself, then why are you living in such a luxurious single room now?

"Isn't it? My father's condition worsened last month, and the doctor said it was because of poor nutrition. If he had had some snacks and bought some nourishing food for my father, my father wouldn't have become like that!"

When Xu En heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching. One of his eyes was on his father, Old Man Xu, and the other was staring at the door of the ward, afraid that Xu Yan would suddenly come back at any time.

"Cough cough."

When Old Man Xu heard what his son said, he certainly did not refute.

Although what Xu En said was true, the doctor's original words were that because his physical condition was too poor, many medicines were not absorbed well, which led to various substance deficiencies.

Listening to the father and son singing the same tune, it was obvious that they wanted to make some requests to Su Wanwan. The eldest sister Xu Lan, who was sitting next to Old Man Xu, looked a little embarrassed, but didn't know how to start.

After all, she and Xu Mei had helped out in the village production team before, but now they could hardly make any money. If they were to stop Old Man Xu and Xu En from asking Su Wanwan for money, then if these two people asked them for money in return, they wouldn't be able to give it to them...

"Why didn't you tell me about the lack of nutrition last time your sister and I came to the hospital to see you?" Xu Mei was not as perceptive as Xu Lan and didn't hear much behind the words.

Su Wanwan vaguely understood the purpose of Old Man Xu and Xu En, who were singing the same tune, and said softly: "How is Uncle's health now?"

In the end, it all comes down to money.

"What's good about that? He hasn't made up for the lack of nutrition since last time. Didn't you hear my father coughing badly when you and him came in just now? He also said that he had opened a factory and found work for everyone in the village, but my father was left here all alone. He can't even have some fruits or snacks. Isn't this killing him here all day? He can't even go back to the village!"

When Xu En opened his mouth, it was like a machine gun, and he spoke a lot.

Su Wanwan listened carefully, and when she heard the last sentence, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean you want to go back to the village but can't?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" After Su Wanwan asked, Old Man Xu suddenly started coughing loudly.

"Nothing, it's just... the doctor said my dad's condition is too bad, he will die if he leaves the hospital, so he can't leave the hospital."

Xu En immediately changed the subject.

"You said before that the most important thing about uncle's illness is diet. He can't eat anything. If the doctor says that this disease is not suitable for eating fruits or snacks, we should listen to the doctor first. It's not too late to eat after the body recovers."

Su Wanwan tried her best to put on a good show, picked up her handbag, and stood up from the chair.

"The doctor didn't say I can't eat fruits and snacks!" Xu En immediately retorted, sniffing, "But I can't afford it!"

Su Wanwan nodded and slowly took out the prepared red envelope from her bag.

The money in the red envelope was prepared in advance before they came. It was originally intended to be given to Old Man Xu and Xu Yan's sisters and brothers, but Su Wanwan just forgot about it.

Although Su Wanwan didn't know what had happened in the Xu family in the past that led to such a strange relationship between these brothers and sisters, she came to the hospital to visit Old Man Xu today because she was Xu Yan's engaged fiancée.
