As soon as he arrived at the ward, Zhou Chen saw Old Man Yu talking to a woman in a bright red shirt. When they saw him coming, they both turned their heads at the same time.
Zhou Chen was naturally very familiar with Old Man Yu, but when he saw Old Man Yu’s current girlfriend, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Fuck, who is this monster?
The woman was probably in her fifties or sixties, very strong and with a face full of flesh. The horrifying thing was that she was wearing a bright red shirt and had makeup on her face, especially her lips, which were painted with bright red lipstick.
Zhou Chen had seen strange women before, but he was still shocked when he saw this woman.
Damn, ugly people are really the ones who do weird things. If I go out at this late hour, I will definitely scare a lot of people.
"Oh, Huanshui, you're here. This is my aunt. Hurry up and call someone. Hongmei, this is my son, Yu Huanshui."
Old Man Yu happily introduced it to Zhou Chen and his wife.
Zhou Chen's mouth twitched, and he suppressed his nausea and called out, "Auntie."
On the contrary, it was the aunt named Hongmei who looked at Zhou Chen with her nose in the air.
"You are the Yu Huanshui that Old Yu often mentions. You don't look that good, but I heard from your father that you work in a big company and make a lot of money. You are really capable. Why didn't you give your brother 50,000 yuan as a betrothal gift when he asked for it?"
Gao Hongmei opened her bloody mouth and started to rant at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen thought countless times in his mind. Old man Yu was weird enough, but what the hell was this old woman?
Do they have any relationship at all? The first thing he did when they met was to ask for money and even mock him. Is this something a normal person would do?
Before he could say anything, Old Man Yu spoke first: "Hongmei, don't worry, Huanshui has already promised me that he is going to sell the house now, and he will give us the money immediately after the house is sold. Even the hospital fees will be fully covered by him."
Gao Hongmei was skeptical: "Is this true? Let's pay for it first. What if he doesn't pay it back?"
"How is that possible? He is my biological son. How could he not care about me, his biological father?"
Old Man Yu shouted at Zhou Chen: "Huanshui, isn't that right?"
Zhou Chen's mouth twitched and he said, "Yes, I have contacted the real estate agent. They will come to my house tomorrow to look at it. After looking at the house and estimating the price, it will be sold soon. After all, although my house is not big, it is also a school district house. It should be no problem to sell it for two million."
"Two million?"
Upon hearing this number, Gao Hongmei's eyes widened and turned red.
She grew up in a small city and had only been to a big city a few times in her life. Two hundred thousand was a huge sum of money for her, let alone two million.
She was already imagining that two million would be enough to buy several houses for her son in the county.
Thinking of this, she immediately showed a bright smile on her face, and said to Zhou Chen in a flattering manner: "Huanshui, come, sit down, auntie will peel an orange for you to eat."
"No, that's not necessary. Eat by yourselves. Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back first. There will be several groups of people coming to see the house tomorrow, so I have to go back and clean up the house."
Zhou Chen didn't want to stay under the same roof with these two people. He was afraid that after a long time, he would not be able to control himself and give each of them a big bag.
"Then hurry back and pack up."
"Yes, Huanshui, do you want your aunt to go back with you to clean up? I am an expert at cleaning up the room."
Gao Hongmei volunteered to go clean up the house with Zhou Chen, which scared Zhou Chen so much that he quickly refused.
"No, I can clean it up by myself. He can't leave without someone here, so you should stay here and take care of him."
Gao Hongmei said with some regret: "Okay then."
In fact, she wanted to go to see the house with Zhou Chen, after all, hearing is believing, seeing is believing.
When Zhou Chen walked to the door, he stopped again.
"By the way, I may be busy selling the house and looking for a job these days, so I won't have time to come to the hospital. If you have anything to ask, just call me."
Old Man Yu waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly. I'll be fine as long as your aunt is here."
Zhou Chen sneered in his heart and left the ward. The more happily you laugh now, the more sadly you will cry in a few days.
After Zhou Chen left, Gao Hongmei excitedly talked to Old Man Yu about the house.
"Old Yu, can your son's house really be sold for two million?"
Old Man Yu boasted, "Of course, I've lived in that house before, it's in a great location, maybe it's worth more than two million."
He knew his wife well, so he boasted vigorously: "My son is filial. He sold the house, and he will definitely give me a lot of money. At that time, let alone our son's gift money, it will be our pension for the rest of our lives." Money is fine."
Gao Hongmei was overjoyed, and then rolled her eyes: "Then tell me, how much money can your son give you? Two million, at least one million, right?"
Old Man Yu thought about Zhou Chen's attitude towards him in the past few days and felt that this possibility was very small, but in front of Gao Hongmei, he still maintained his man's face.
"Of course. I tell you, if it's less than one million, I won't let him."
"That's great, Lao Yu, you're amazing. The best thing I've done in my life is marrying you."
When Gao Hongmei was so excited, she smacked Old Man Yu's ugly face hard, leaving a red lip mark on his face.
Old man Yu laughed happily, completely erasing the ugly expression he had had over the past two days.
Of course Zhou Chen did not go home, but went directly to the hotel. He knew that in a few days, the hospital would be able to determine Old Man Yu’s condition and he would be discharged at that time.
However, because of the medical condition he provided earlier, the doctor will definitely give Old Man Yu a detailed examination, so the cost of these few days will not be small, at least a few thousand yuan.
A few thousand dollars may not seem like a lot, but to Old Man Yu and his people, it is definitely a lot, especially now that Gao Hongmei's son is getting married. Spending a few thousand dollars would be a huge loss, if not a life-threatening one.
Given Gao Hongmei's personality, if she can't make the money back, she will definitely make a big fuss and Old Man Yu will suffer the consequences.
And he wanted to use this incident to cause Old Man Yu and Gao Hongmei to fall out, and the bigger the better, so he planned to disappear for the next few days.
After a good night's rest in the hotel, today is Sunday. Zhou Chen promised Yu Chen yesterday that he would take them to the library to read today, so he got up early in the morning and drove to Li Qian's villa again.
As soon as Zhou Chen arrived at the villa, Li Qian came out to greet him.
"Yu Huanshui, you're here."
Zhou Chen asked politely, "Did you rest well last night? Have your legs and feet recovered?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I've rested for a night and I'm almost fine now. Have you had breakfast? I just made breakfast and the two children are eating it. Would you like to have some too?"
"No, I already ate before I came here."
"You can eat more."
"It's really not necessary."
Although Zhou Chen was not ready to eat, he followed Li Qian into the villa and saw the two children sitting together eating breakfast.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 762: The Distressed Old Man Yu
After playing all day last night, Zhou Chen brought his two children, Yu Chen and Zhang Ziming, to the library today.
However, this is not a regular library, but a children's library with books and places to play. It is convenient for children to read books and also allows children to play in their spare time. Therefore, this kind of library is still a very popular entertainment venue for children.
When they arrived at the library, Zhou Chen and Li Qian no longer cared about the two children. Instead, they let them read and play on their own. They sat in the lounge area and chatted.
"Yu Huanshui, are you always so free?"
"That's not the case. I just quit my job not long ago and was planning to do something on my own. However, I've been busy lately and have been delayed, so I've been relatively free recently."
Li Qian immediately became interested: "Really? Then what kind of business do you want to do?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I have considered this a little bit. I was also doing market research some time ago, but I haven't made a final decision on what to do."
Li Qian nodded and said, "Oh, then if you need help, be sure to ask."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If you need anything, be sure to speak up."
As he was talking, his cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Old Man Yu calling, Zhou Chen frowned slightly and looked at Li Qian apologetically.
"I'm going out to take a call."
"It's okay. Go answer the phone. I'll take care of the two kids."
Zhou Chen smiled apologetically, then answered the phone and walked out of the library.
As soon as he left, a mother of a child sat next to Li Qian.
"Hello."
Li Qian looked at the woman who suddenly came over to say hello and greeted her politely: "Hello."
The woman was in her thirties and looked very fashionable. She smiled and asked Li Qian, "My last name is Gu. Are you here with your children as well?"
Feeling that the woman had no ill intentions, Li Qian smiled and replied, "Yes, hello, my last name is Li. Are you here with your child as well?"
"Well, this kind of place, unless you bring your children here, who would come here at our age? Don't you think so?"
"Yes Yes."
"But I rarely see a couple bringing their children here together. It seems that your husband really cares about you and your child. Unlike my husband, I asked him to come here with me, but he refused to come. It pissed me off."
When Li Qian heard this, she quickly corrected him, "You misunderstood. He and I are not husband and wife. It's just because my son and his son are classmates and best friends, so we brought the child here together."
"Oh, really? I'm sorry, I thought you were a couple. I'm so sorry."
"it does not matter."
Li Qian still kept smiling, but her eyes unconsciously looked at Zhou Chen who was answering the phone outside.
Zhou Chen listened impatiently to Old Man Yu's muttering on the phone. From beginning to end, Old Man Yu was asking about the house, asking him if he had brought anyone to see it and when the house could be sold.
He responded with a few words impatiently and then hung up the phone.
He knew without thinking that it must be Old Man Yu's current wife Gao Hongmei who asked Old Man Yu to beat him. It was obvious that these two people did not believe him.
But he didn't care. He didn't care whether these two people believed him or not. Anyway, his purpose of sending Old Man Yu to the hospital had been achieved, and he had also done his own thing. He didn't need to worry about it next, and believed that things would develop as he wanted.
Just on Monday, the results of Mr. Yu’s examination at the hospital came out. He did not have any serious illness, nor did he have pancreatic cancer. Moreover, after three days of treatment and intravenous drip, his symptoms subsided one by one. Now he has recovered most of the way and will be discharged from the hospital in a day or two at most.
Originally, Old Man Yu wanted to stay for two more days, because Gao Hongmei's attitude towards him during his hospitalization was much better than when he was at home.
Although he knew that Gao Hongmei was only interested in him because of the money, he still enjoyed this kind of care very much, so he wanted to continue staying in the hospital. Anyway, he thought that his son would return him double the money in the future, so he was not in a hurry at all.
He was not in a hurry, but Gao Hongmei was. No matter how much old man Ren Yu said, she was still worried, because she had been in the hospital for a few days and her savings had suddenly decreased by several thousand yuan. Moreover, she didn't even bring her medical insurance card, so there was no way to get reimbursed. She was spending thousands of yuan a day, so how could she not be anxious?
So at her mandatory request, they were discharged from the hospital before noon on Tuesday.
When they were discharged from the hospital, Old Man Yu called Zhou Chen and asked him to drive to pick them up. The call went through, but Zhou Chen said that he had gone out of town and would not be back for a few days, so he asked them to either stay in a hotel or go back to their hometown first.
This made Gao Hongmei very angry. She originally wanted to go to Zhou Chen's house to take a look, but who knew that Old Man Yu didn't have the key and couldn't get in even if she wanted to.
I called Zhou Chen and asked him to notify the property management to authorize someone to open the door, but Zhou Chen hung up the phone directly and the call was not connected when I called again.
In fact, Zhou Chen did not leave Jialin City these days, but has been paying attention to Old Man Yu and Gao Hongmei.
He was hiding on purpose. As long as he didn't show up, Old Man Yu and Gao Hongmei would definitely fight.
The facts were pretty much as he thought. Gao Hongmei, who had stayed in the hotel for two days, couldn't bear it any longer and had a big quarrel with Old Man Yu. Then she left Jialin City and went back to her hometown, leaving Old Man Yu alone, waiting for Zhou Chen to come back.
The same scene. When Zhou Chen returned home, he saw Old Man Yu curled up at his door again, and he looked even more embarrassed than last time.
"Hey, why are you sleeping here?"
If Zhou Chen was asked to call Old Man Yu "Dad", he definitely wouldn't be able to do so.
Hearing Zhou Chen's voice, Old Man Yu jumped up with a start, rushed towards Zhou Chen excitedly, grabbed Zhou Chen's arms and shook them hard.
"Huanshui, where have you been these days? I couldn't get through to you when I called you, so I asked the property management to open the door. I told them I was your father, but they wouldn't let me open the door. Your aunt was so angry that she went home. I was worried about you, so I waited here the whole time. Now that I see you're okay, I'm relieved."
If Zhou Chen hadn't known who he was, he might have been deceived by his words.
Zhou Chen pushed Old Man Yu away calmly and opened the door: "Let's go, let's talk inside."
As soon as he walked into the house, Old Man Yu rushed into the kitchen and drank water from the tap in big gulps. Then he rummaged through the drawers and found the instant noodles he had bought before. He opened the noodles and gobbled them up without even soaking them in water.
"Why are you so hungry? Didn't you eat today?"
Old Man Yu didn't have time to answer. He wolfed down the bowl of noodles and swallowed it hard before he spoke.
"It's not that I didn't eat today. I didn't eat yesterday either. Your aunt went home and I didn't have a penny. If you had come back two days later, you would have seen my dead body. How can you be such a son?"
Perhaps because he had eaten and regained some strength, he became rude to Zhou Chen again.
"Didn't she leave you any money?"
Old Man Yu was about to complain, but after looking at Zhou Chen, he still said with a stiff face: "She has no money on her, except for the ticket to go home, so I asked her to go back first. The family cannot leave without someone."
"Really?" Zhou Chen sneered in his heart and did not expose Old Man Yu's lies.
Old Man Yu took a sip of water and asked, "I spent nearly 10,000 yuan in the hospital this time. Huanshui, when can you sell this house? Return the money to me quickly. We can't even afford to eat without money at home."
Having said that, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something and glanced around the living room.
