Three Women in the Cage

Chapter 166 Too Expensive

The nurse left in a hurry after she finished speaking, and the room instantly became quiet again.

Looking at Xinxin standing there in a daze, Yang Yu said with a smile, "Why are you still standing there? Aren't you hungry? Why don't you go buy some food?"

Just now, Xinxin was so absorbed in listening to their conversation that she forgot to move. Now, she heard her mother urging her to come to her senses and was about to go out to buy food when she suddenly heard a whimper!

Turning around, she saw that it was Huanhuan who had woken up. She hurried forward and gently called out to the weak Huanhuan, "Sister?..."

Huanhuan was stunned at first, then she realized what was happening and asked, "Why are we in the hospital? Where's Mom?"

Before Xinxin could say anything, Yang Yu's anxious voice came over, "I'm here! Don't worry! How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

Huanhuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw her mother lying on the hospital bed. She was momentarily dazed. It turned out that her mother was also injured. She had fainted first that day and didn't know what happened next.

Looking at the situation now, she was afraid that her mother had also been severely beaten. Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling heartbroken and sad.

She shifted her body and turned her face towards her mother. She choked out, "I'm fine! Mom, are you okay?"

At this time, Yaya woke up at some point, and with red eyes, she said first, "Mom is seriously injured! She was beaten all over by Tang Yong and even hit her head against the wall..."

She paused for a moment and couldn't continue. Thinking about the situation at that time, she felt sad and powerless!

After hearing what Yaya said, Huanhuan was shocked. She had no idea her mother was treated like this. She was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe and burst into tears!

Yaya's eyes were already red, and when Huanhuan cried, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst out in an instant!

Seeing her sisters’ sadness and thinking about the grievances she had suffered today, Xinxin couldn’t help but sob too!

For a moment, the ward was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere, and everyone was lying on their beds, worried and crying.

Looking at these crying children, Yang Yu felt sad and distressed. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Why are you crying? Why are you creating such an atmosphere? Aren't things all good now? That bastard will get his comeuppance someday. We just have to wait and see! Cheer up and don't look so sad."

After saying that, she wiped away her tears again. She didn't want the children to be so depressed. She wanted them to be strong and not show their vulnerability easily!

First of all, she has to set a good example herself, so even if she is very sad now, she will not allow herself to cry easily in front of them!

After calming down a bit, Yang Yu urged Xinxin, "Third sister, the sisters are awake now. Go buy some food so they can recover. We can't stay in the hospital for too long. Every day spent here costs a lot of money! We have to recover and be discharged as soon as possible, otherwise we will lose both our health and our money! Let those bastards laugh at us! We have to get out quickly and let them know that we can't give up and live a good life in front of them!"

After hearing what her mother said, Xinxin had no choice but to get up, sobbing, holding the money tightly in her hand, and walked towards the door!

After a while, Xinxin bought two bottles of water and a few pieces of bread. There was really nothing else for sale here, so she only bought these snacks from the nearby store!

Another reason was that she only had ten dollars, which she borrowed, and she didn't dare spend it carelessly! So she naturally ignored the food in the surrounding restaurants. She was afraid that the food there wouldn't even be enough for one person!

Xinxin walked in and handed the food to Yang Yu first. Yang Yu looked at the dry food and had no appetite at all! She just wanted to eat a bowl of soft and sticky rice porridge, but she knew that if she had a bowl of porridge, she might not have enough money!

Sighing, she stuffed the food into Xinxin's hands and said, "Mom isn't hungry! You three sisters can share it! Eat more. Only when you're full will you have the strength to recover!"

In the end, Xinxin left a piece of bread for her mother and gave the rest to her sister.

Sick people really cannot eat these dry foods, but they want to recover quickly, so Huanhuan and Yaya forced themselves to eat a piece of bread and drink some water before lying down listlessly!

Only Xinxin ate with great relish, wolfing down the bread mixed with water. She was so hungry, and now that she had finally eaten, she felt an instant sense of satisfaction!

Looking at Xinxin's expression, Yang Yu felt deeply distressed, thinking that the child must be extremely hungry. Poor thing, she was still growing, and now it was difficult for her to even have a full stomach. He felt so sorry for her.

Feeling sad, he threw his bread over and said, "Mom doesn't like it, you take it and eat it! Don't waste it!"

Huanhuan disagreed, "Keep it! What if you get hungry? Mom, you're seriously injured, you need to take care of yourself! Otherwise, what are we going to do?"

Yaya also agreed, "Yes! Save it for mom! This way she can recover as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he emphasized to Xinxin, "Third sister, you have to be sensible!"

Although Xinxin was not full yet, she knew that her mother's health was the most important thing. How could she eat her mother's only food at this time?

So she nodded sensibly and said, "Mom, you keep it for yourself! I'm not hungry anymore!"

Yang Yu didn't see Zhang's mother until the next day! Her only hope was shattered!

She knew that once money was involved, how could Zhang's mother be so kind! She had once been beaten up for asking for her dowry back! And now, how could Zhang's mother pay for it out of her own pocket for her?

It seems like I overestimated her after all! I shouldn't have expected anything from her in the first place!

After a while, the nurse brought a pile of bills and said tentatively, "Here are your bills from yesterday. Take a look at them first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Yang Yu took it awkwardly and looked at it carefully. When he saw the last number, his expression changed again and again! He couldn't believe that it cost so much in just one day!

She couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so expensive? Is there something wrong? We don't need any high-end medicine in our case!"

The nurse said nonchalantly, "How could it be wrong? Look, it's clearly stated. Besides, there are three of you. This fee isn't expensive at all!"

Seeing such an expensive check-in and check-out, Yang Yu anxiously said, "Little sister! Can you help us get discharged? We're leaving today. We really can't afford the expense! We're fine now, so there's no need to waste time here any longer! Can you please help us?"

The nurse knew their situation and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Honestly, in your condition, you won't be discharged until tomorrow! You're an adult, so it's okay! But the two children are still young, so they should be observed for another day! However, considering your difficulties, I can help you apply for early discharge. Just remember to rest well at home after you go back. Otherwise, if you hurt yourself again, it will be troublesome!"

Yang Yu quickly thanked her, "Yes, yes. I will definitely take good care of myself after I get back! Thank you so much, little sister!"
