Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

Zhang Huifen dared not speak again, fearing she would say something that would cause trouble. Li Yan glanced at her before flattering her, "Brother, in my opinion, that girl is a bit strange. Putting aside her extraordinary aura, just her rude remarks alone mean we can't let this matter end so easily."

Li Dewei agreed with Li Yan's words but did not jump to conclusions, saying, "Are they really staying in a VIP ward at the hospital?!"

"It seems so. The ward has a TV, a refrigerator, and other amenities, and the environment is much better than a regular ward," Li Yan said as he recalled. The more he spoke, the more uneasy he felt. Before he could figure out what was wrong, Li Dewei raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked.

"Shenya Hospital is a city-level hospital. A regular ward costs eight or nine yuan a day, which is a burden for an average family. A VIP ward costs fifty or sixty yuan a day. As far as I know... the Su family has been from the countryside for generations. They are so poor that they can barely afford to send their daughter to school. Moreover, their relatives and friends are not wealthy either. Even if they borrowed money, they could not afford such a luxurious ward. Fifty or sixty yuan a day, and it has been three or four days since the accident. How can they afford it?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan came back to his senses. At the beginning, he was so focused on negotiating with the Su family at the hospital that he didn't even notice that the Su family was in a VIP ward. Now that he thought about it, it was really strange. They were just ordinary construction workers, and Su's mother was a grocery store owner. It was already difficult enough for her to support her daughter who was in elementary school. Where did they get the spare money to afford such an expensive ward?!

A detail that Su Mu had forgotten was exposed, and those who were interested investigated it carefully, which led to the uncovering of many doubts.

"Brother, could it be that this family suddenly won the lottery and is spending so lavishly all of a sudden?!" Zhang Huifen, who had been quiet for a few minutes, couldn't help but speak up. She finished speaking with an expression that she thought was very clever, which made Li Yan curse inwardly, "Stupid as a pig."

The investigation revealed that the Su family had no bad habits. They had never bought lottery tickets or even played cards. Initially, the eldest brother planned to check if the Su family had any gambling debts so that he could settle the matter by paying them off. However, he found out that the family was an exemplary citizen, otherwise he would not have had to send him to reconcile with the Su family.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things would have gone incredibly smoothly if he hadn't taken Zhang Huifen with him, and he wouldn't have been scolded by his older brother again upon returning. A surge of anger rose within him, and he turned around and shouted angrily, "Idiot! Do you think everyone buys lottery tickets every day like you?! If you don't know anything, get out of here!"

Zhang Huifen was startled by Li Yan's sudden outburst of anger, but dared not refute him. Heaven knows that after marrying into the Li family, Li Yan was initially very good to her because of her looks, and he listened to her every word. But as time went on, he got tired of her and completely changed his attitude towards her. He would beat and scold her, and if she dared to fight back, he would beat her even more severely. This gradually made her, who initially had some fighting spirit, lose her temper. After being beaten and becoming afraid, she would avoid Li Yan like a mouse seeing a cat.

He shrank his neck, smacked his lips, and lowered his head with an embarrassed expression. He was still cursing Li Yan in his heart, but on the surface he still looked timid and cowardly.

Seeing that his sister-in-law had calmed down after being scolded by her younger brother, Li Dewei waved his hand and said, "Go and rest. Come back for dinner when your sister-in-law comes back."

After the two were out of sight, Li Dewei thought it over and made a phone call, instructing Secretary Lin to investigate the Su family's situation more thoroughly, paying special attention to Su Mu's information.

After hanging up the phone, he picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and poured the clear, fragrant tea into the matching cups. He closed his eyes and took a small sip... He started nodding and swaying his head in good spirits, seemingly lost in thought.
