My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 88: The Visit from the Group

Soon, under Liu Haizhong's arrangement, the three uncles Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, Zhang Lei and others rushed to the hospital.

Liu Haizhong frowned, noticing that Zhang Lei was only carrying one bag, and asked curiously, "Zhang Lei, why are you only carrying this one bag? Isn't that a bit little?"

Liu Hai thought to himself, it would be too impolite to bring only one thing when so many people are visiting together.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei grinned and quickly corrected him, "Uncle, no, Uncle, don't underestimate this one thing I have. It's heavy. You can feel it; it must weigh at least ten pounds."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Liu Haizhong reached out and tried to weigh it in his hand.

And you know what? This package is really heavy. Only then did he feel relieved, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

Each with their own thoughts, the group continued walking towards the hospital.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui both had the same idea in mind: after all, they were both big shots in the courtyard, and if they didn't go to this kind of occasion, they would inevitably become the subject of gossip, so they gritted their teeth and came along.

He Yuzhu's mind was filled with Qin Huairu; he was single-mindedly focused on seeing how she was doing. Actually, a few days ago, he had lost all interest in Qin Huairu, but somehow, it was as if some inexplicable force was pulling him, compelling him to get closer to her. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, yet he couldn't control himself; he felt that only seeing Qin Huairu could bring him some relief.

As for Zhang Lei, Yan Jiecheng, and Xu Damao, they were there purely to watch the spectacle. Jia Dongxu used to rely on Yi Zhonghai's backing to act arrogantly and bully Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng quite a bit.

Soon, the group arrived at the hospital's ward building.

As soon as they reached the door of ward 304, Liu Haizhong hurriedly took the package from Zhang Lei's hand, and deliberately weighed it in front of him as if afraid that others would not see it.

Although everyone witnessed this scene, no one said anything. After all, Liu Haizhong was the second oldest man in the courtyard, and they had to give him that much face.

Only Xu Damao covered his mouth and chuckled secretly. He leaned close to Zhang Lei's ear and whispered teasingly, "How about that? Stunned? You've lost both your wife and your army."

Seeing Xu Damao's smirking expression, Zhang Lei didn't take it to heart and simply said, "This was originally meant to make Second Uncle look good, it's no big deal for him to take it."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, everyone secretly shook their heads, thinking that Zhang Lei was really too foolish.

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Liu Haizhong immediately wore a smug expression, as if to say, "Zhang Lei is quite sensible."

Soon everyone pushed open the door and entered the ward, where they immediately saw an old woman and Jia Zhangshi arguing heatedly with flushed faces.

The people who had just entered were stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what was going on.

Liu Haizhong quickly stepped forward, adopting the air of an elder, and said, "Jia Zhangshi, Auntie, what's going on between you two? Why are you arguing?"

When the old woman saw someone coming, her eyes reddened, and she immediately said in a pitiful voice, "Second Uncle, you be the judge. My husband, Lao Yi, specifically asked me to bring him food."

"I had just delivered the food when Jia Zhangshi scolded me for only delivering food to Jia Dongxu."

After scolding me, they made me go get money to pay the fees. I told them I came in a hurry and didn't have a single penny on me.

"Besides, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu are both here. When did it become my turn to pay the fees? This doesn't make any sense anywhere!"

As soon as the older woman finished speaking, Jia Zhangshi exploded, yelling angrily, "You're here to deliver food, don't you know how many people are in this ward?"

"Besides, as Dongxu's teacher's wife, what's wrong with asking you to pay a fee? Qin Huairu and I came in a hurry and didn't bring any money with us."

"Your husband, Mr. Yi, earns such a high salary and has a very solid financial foundation. This medical expense is just a drop in the ocean for your family, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes inwardly, feeling that this woman was simply unreasonable.

Liu Haizhong immediately put on a stern face and spoke up for the old woman, saying, "Jia Zhangshi, this is where you're wrong. That old woman kindly brought food, and it was Dongxu's portion. If you and your daughter wanted some, couldn't you have gone to buy it and cook it yourselves?"

"Furthermore, your Dongxu's injury and hospitalization is your Jia family's own business. Why should an old woman like me have to pay for it? What you're saying is utterly unreasonable!"

Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Jia Zhangshi was so angry that her face contorted. She immediately put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Liu Haizhong, you fat bastard, how dare you talk like that? Don't you know our family is dirt poor? Where would I get spare money to buy food or pay medical bills?"

Yan Bugui quickly stepped in to smooth things over, waving his hands and saying, "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. This is a hospital room; we need to keep it quiet. We came here specifically to see Jia Dongxu, not to quarrel."

Hearing Yan Bugui say this, everyone wisely shut their mouths, and the ward finally quieted down a bit.

When the older woman saw Liu Haizhong and his group arrive, she stopped arguing with Jia Zhangshi.

She packed up the lunchbox and said coldly, "Since you, Jia Zhangshi, don't want me to bring you food, then you can bring it yourselves from now on."

After saying that, she left the ward without looking back, leaving Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu stunned.

Jia Dongxu, lying on the bed, glanced at the group of people entering through the door, but didn't even lift his eyelids.

He now wishes no one would come to visit him; he felt that these people were only there to laugh at him.

Jia Zhangshi originally wanted to ask the older woman who had left to continue bringing her food, but suddenly she saw what Liu Haizhong was carrying. Her eyes lit up, and she snatched the things from Liu Haizhong's hands, muttering, "Liu Haizhong, at least you have some conscience. You know to buy something to come and see, unlike some people who come empty-handed."

After saying that, Madam Jia weighed the item in her hand and found it quite heavy. She immediately opened it to see if there was anything delicious inside.

Everyone was furious at Jia Zhangshi's sarcastic remarks.

Everyone was thinking that we were already being generous by making a special trip to see Jia Dongxu, and we didn't expect everyone to bring anything.

Just then, Jia Zhangshi ripped open the bag with a "rip," and after seeing what was inside, she immediately exploded, pointing at Liu Haizhong and cursing, "Liu Haizhong, what are you up to? Bringing these pig bones, are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to mock our Dongxu for having a broken leg and being a cripple?"

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's angry roar, everyone turned to look into the bag, only to find it was indeed a pile of meat and bones, leaving them all stunned.
