Chapter 871: Chapter 872 Toxic Fatherly Love 4
Feng Min did not expect to hear such great news during her visit to the hospital to see her superior.
She didn’t even know how she got home; all she knew was that she was in an excellent mood, bursting with joy.
Wu Hao was at home staring at the account book. Looking at the balance, he was really feeling the headache. Seeing Feng Min return with a beaming smile made him quite upset.
“What’s up, did your boss promise you a promotion?” If there was a promotion, that would be good news—it could increase their income and solve quite a few problems.
“No.” Feng Min noticed that Wu Hao was scrutinizing the account book, obviously worried about family expenses.
“Do you know who I saw today at the hospital?” Feng Min didn’t want to just blurt it out. It’s much less fun that way; she preferred to make someone guess.
Who did she see in the hospital? Wu Hao thought about it, realizing that none of the leaders were sick, “I don’t know.”
“It was Li Cuifen.” Feng Min said happily.
Li Cuifen? Wu Hao found the name familiar, but after thinking hard, he still could not remember, “Who’s that?”
Feng Min was delighted that Wu Hao couldn’t remember who it was, which meant he truly didn’t care about that person.
“Your ex-mother-in-law, the grandmother of your eldest daughter.”
Ah, “She’s in the hospital?” Wu Hao looked at Feng Min speechless, “What does her being in the hospital have to do with us?”
“What, you plan to go visit her?”
“No money.” Wu Hao placed the account book in front of Feng Min, “We really have no money.”
“Of course we have to go.” Feng Min was regretful seeing such a penny-pinching Wu Hao; she thought back to her many male classmates who were much better options. Why did she choose Wu Hao?
Feng Min thought of a few male classmates who were doing quite well. If she had chosen them back then, would she be in this situation now?
But there was no use regretting; whom to blame when she was the one who didn’t see clearly when she was young. No worries, though, they were about to get rich soon.
“To see what?” Wu Hao was confused. They clearly had no money, so why still go see her?
“Have you forgotten about the house in her name?”
“And the shop, although it’s not in the city center, it’s quite good, and the monthly rent is not bad.”
Feng Min was overjoyed thinking about the money coming her way after the old lady’s death.
“She has a house and a shop, but she won’t give them to us,” Wu Hao said helplessly.
“What if I told you, she’s been diagnosed with lung cancer?” Of course, Feng Min had asked the nurses as well.
Though she knew the ward was for cancer patients, it was still important to get the details right.
What? Lung cancer? Wu Hao suddenly got excited, grabbing Feng Min’s arm tightly, “Are you sure you heard right?”
“Yes.” Feng Min recounted the details, “How can we not go check it out?”
“Besides, the old lady is in the hospital now, isn’t it the perfect time for us to show up?”
“If we don’t go, when do you think would be a good time?”
“Wait until the old lady passes away?”
“Do you think Zhang Yu would recognize you?” Although Feng Min had no direct contact with the Zhang Family, she knew the names of three generations of their women.
“Of course not, I haven’t seen that girl since the divorce. If I suddenly show up, it will scare her.”
“Moreover, that old witch won’t speak well of me. She has a bad influence on me. If I appear suddenly, they will definitely be on guard against me.”
“No, we have to go now.”
“But, if we go, won’t they think we are just watching them?” Wu Hao worried.
“You also know, that old lady is quite formidable.” Wu Hao still remembers that during his divorce, the whole process was dominated by Li Cuifen negotiating the terms.
He also remembers how aggressive she was, which is why he was submissive, “And she doesn’t have a good impression of me, saying how bad I am.”
“She said she doesn’t want to see me as long as she lives.”
“If I just show up, wouldn’t she scold me right away?”
“After all, I am a leader.” Although the position isn’t big, it’s still a leadership role.
To be seen and scolded by an old lady, isn’t that losing face?
Feng Min looks at Wu Hao, who even now is indecisive and constantly worried about this and that, sighing continuously.
The man she chose, no matter how much she regrets it, she could only carry on.
“Just say the leader is hospitalized, and we saw Zhang Yu.”
“As for how you know about Zhang Yu when she asks, just say we often spy on her.”
Feng Min, thinking about Zhang Yu, feels displeased; why is that girl so pretty, prettier than her own daughter Wu Min? Fortunately, that girl’s scores are not as smart as Wu Min’s.
Indeed, what good does a girl’s beauty do if it can’t keep a man’s heart, neither Zhang Lina nor Zhang Yu can achieve that.
Feng Min knows Wu Hao isn’t very capable, so she takes her time to explain and discuss how he should talk.
Although Wu Hao is impatient, thinking about his family’s financial situation, he decides to endure for the sake of money, as it would mean he wouldn’t have to work so hard once he has it.
“With money, I can finally buy a car.” In the Millennium, more people started driving, but mostly it’s the bosses or high-ranking officials.
Some people in Wu Hao’s department drive to and from work; they are from well-off families.
He is envious and jealous, but it’s just envy and jealousy, not to mention the cost of a car, he doesn’t even have the money to buy a new motorcycle.
“I want to buy some designer bags, and also send Xiao Jian abroad.” There are already people around sending their children for overseas studies.
Feng Min never considered these things before, as good as her child’s grades may be, the cost of studying abroad is substantial, and her own family can’t afford it.
Now, with the backing of Zhang Family’s house, none of these are issues.
“Right, and if they decide to stay abroad in the future, that’s fine too.” Wu Hao is also very excited.
They begin to dream about what they would do once they have money, “Travel abroad.”
“Move to a bigger house.”
The couple began discussing, how the money should be spent, without considering whether everything will be the same as in the past.
“When shall we go?” Wu Hao excitedly asks Feng Min.
He is eager to go to the hospital soon and get in touch with Li Cuifen, so that he can securely get the house and money.
“I think …” Feng Min also snaps out of her frenzy, yeah, they hadn’t gotten the house and money yet, why was she so excited.
The matter at hand is more important, “I think …”
Zhang Yu doesn’t know that Feng Min learned the news overnight, she was just reviewing her lessons, occasionally looking up at the eye drops bottle.
On the day Li Cuifen was admitted, she had an IV drip until the middle of the night.
Li Cuifen woke up groggily, saw the nurse take away the last IV bottle, and then saw Zhang Yu’s wan face.
This old lady couldn’t let go, “Little Yu, you should also rest early.”
Zhang Yu responded with a hum, washed up a bit, then lay on the folding bed, “Grandma, good night.”
