Chapter 367: Worries (II)
And Han Ruochen was not a fool to put her boat up as collateral. That was worth more than the twenty thousand yuan that she had borrowed from Zhai Muchen, and why would she do something so foolish as putting her own boat up as collateral because of a debt that her mother owed?
"If that’s the case, then it is okay." Old Madam Han also breathed a sigh of relief. She was also worried that her granddaughter would put her boat up as collateral and borrow money. After all, the debt that Meng Yunhan owed outside was not simple. How could they cough up more than twenty thousand yuan in just a short while? That woman was just pushing all of them to their deaths. Even if she sold her old body more than twenty times, her organs would not fetch such a huge sum of money.
She sighed heavily and pinched the space between her brows before saying, "I really don’t know what to say to your mother. She is like this, and I don’t think she will ever get better in the future. Who would have thought that such a tragedy would strike our family, and yet she would not be able to do anything to help us out?" No wonder the wise men often said that one should marry a virtuous woman. Looking at Meng Yunhan’s virtues, she was worried that their family was in for a rough time!
Han Ruochen did not say anything. If anything, it would be really good if her family started to hate Meng Yunhan. That way, when she collected enough evidence to prove that Meng Yunhan had an affair with someone, she would not have to worry about anyone doubting or questioning her.
"Grandma, don’t think too much." Han Yong was worried that his grandmother would start stressing because of his mother, and he took her hands into his. He said to her, "Our mother is like this, but there is nothing that we can do about her. So why bother? It is not like she will get any better." After tonight, Han Yong had a new understanding of his family and his mother.
Just like his mother, his wife was selfish and ruthless to her bones. Even if the two of them did not have a good relationship, they were still related and married to one another. He had taken care of her family for so long; even though he had no such responsibility, the woman could have at least helped him out when he needed her help. He knew that if his in-laws wanted, they could have easily taken out five thousand yuan. After all, they had saved so much money from his business; there was no way they did not have any money.
But they would rather watch his father die than help him out.
A ruthless glint in his eyes flashed, and Han Yong realised that there were some things that he needed to deal with quickly.
Old Madam Han was really upset, but she still listened to her grandson and returned to the corridor. She could not help but wonder whether she should discuss the matter with her son again. Meng Yunhan was like this; she was more of a burden than help. What was the point of keeping her with them? It was better to be divorced. At times like this, when her son needed Meng Yunhan’s help the most, she was like a block of wood and could not do anything to help him.
As a wife and mother, she was so useless that even Old Madam Han felt ashamed of her.
It was better to ask that woman to leave lest she cause more trouble for their family in the future.
"Grandmother!"
Just as the three of them were lost in their thoughts, Han Xuehan came running. "My dad is out! The surgery is done."
Hearing this, Han Ruochen and the rest hurried toward the operation theatre.
"Doctor, how is my son?" Old Madam Han asked in a hurry. She looked at her son, who was lying on the stretcher with his eyes closed, and felt really troubled. Her eyes could not help but turn when she saw how many stitches her son had received. It was all because of Meng Yunhan; if she had not wasted their savings, then her son would not be working harder than a mule these days.
Old Madam Han knew that her son was skilled, and he would never make a mistake like this—where he would be hit by a pig. There had been many circumstances where he ran into danger, but he was always able to manoeuvre his way out of them. It was all because he was too tired and could not keep up!
"Is my dad okay?" Han Ruochen asked as she peered at her father.
"Don’t worry, the surgery was a success. However, the patient had been knocked down by a pig, and there are some symptoms that might not appear right away. Who knows, he might even develop a concussion? So we will keep him under observation for twenty-four hours. You all also need to monitor the patient’s condition. If there is anything wrong with him, let us know right away. If there are any fluctuations in his condition, you need to inform us immediately. Do not be careless while taking care of the patient!" The doctor relayed a bunch of instructions.
He had heard everything that happened in the corridor. Though the children of this man were filial and responsible, his wife was not a good person. Unfortunately, the task of taking care of her husband would eventually fall on the wife. Given the kind of character this woman was, could she even take care of her husband? This was something the doctor was worried about.
Though Han Yichen’s surgery was not difficult, if he was not taken care of properly, there was a chance that he might relapse! He was already old and he could not take so many surgeries at once.
