Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Visiting the Sick

「Beijing」

Shi Jingfang and Xia Dongxue, carrying nutritional supplements, had just arrived at the hospital entrance when they ran into their younger sister-in-law, Ye Binglan.

Ye Binglan rushed forward. "Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, why have you come to the hospital?"

Upon seeing the nutritional supplements they were carrying, her complexion changed abruptly. "Who in the family is hospitalized? Why didn’t anyone notify me?"

Shi Jingfang saw that her sister-in-law’s face had paled from fright and hastily explained, "It’s not someone from our family. It’s your Third Sister-in-law’s father who’s fallen ill and is staying here."

Ye Binglan patted her chest. "You scared me to death. I thought it was our dad who got sick."

Thinking of something, she said, "Then I’ll go with you. Now that I know, it wouldn’t be right not to visit."

Shi Jingfang nodded. "Alright, let’s go together then."

Ye Binglan saw her eldest sister-in-law, Shi Jingfang, looking across the street. "Eldest Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Xia Dongxue withdrew her gaze. "Second Uncle’s mobility is limited, so Dad is visiting Uncle Zhang on his behalf. We’ve arranged to meet Dad here at the hospital’s main entrance, and I haven’t seen him yet."

Ye Binglan complained somewhat, "You guys really should’ve told me in advance about visiting the hospital. If we hadn’t run into each other today, Third Sister-in-law would have another thing to nag me about."

Xia Dongxue saw her expression and exchanged glances with her own sister-in-law. "See, what did I tell you?"

Shi Jingfang laughed. "She’s heartless. We shouldn’t stoop to her level."

Ye Binglan looked from one to the other. "Why are you two laughing?"

Shi Jingfang had already inquired about the ward number in advance, and they went straight there.

As the group entered the ward, they found it in chaos. It turned out one of the patient’s family members was arguing about splitting the medical expenses.

Xia Dongxue had seen Elder Zhang a few times before in the military residential compound, and she had also visited his home once when Elder Mrs. Zhang passed away.

Although it had been many years since their last meeting, she recognized Elder Zhang immediately. She pointed him out to her father-in-law, "Dad, Uncle Zhang is on the bed at the far end."

They approached, the noise in the room still ongoing. Elder Master Ye had to raise his voice, "Brother Zhang, do you still recognize me?"

There was no one by Elder Zhang’s bedside. When someone spoke to him, he hurriedly sat up. Upon seeing the person clearly, he exclaimed, "Ah, my dear in-law, what brings you here?"
