Hearing such a blunt question, the woman on the bed rubbed her nose awkwardly.
Very quickly, she exchanged a glance with her daughter-in-law.
After that, she coughed and said quickly, "You heard wrong, what ’pretending to be sick’? I said ’being sick’ just now! Let’s not talk about that. The money, have you got it ready? The doctor has already notified us, we really can’t drag this on any longer, we have to pay today. If we don’t, they’re going to kick us out of here."
She knew she couldn’t continue on this topic now, so after a random explanation she swiftly changed the subject.
Feng Junjun gave her a deep look and said, "Mom, I brought my boyfriend with me today!"
With Feng Junjun’s words, everyone shifted their gaze to Hu Xiaobei.
Knowing it was his cue, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and said, "Hello, auntie! I’m Hu Xiaobei. I’m Junjun’s boyfriend, you can call me Xiaobei."
As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei put the cigarettes and liquor he’d brought down on the small cabinet by her bed.
The woman was a bit stunned by Feng Junjun’s introduction.
It took her quite a while to come back to her senses from that daze.
Glancing at what Hu Xiaobei had brought, she said with a cold sneer, "You even brought liquor? What’s that supposed to mean! Who brings liquor when visiting a patient?"
Before Hu Xiaobei could respond to this sneer, Junjun’s younger brother’s expression had already changed.
He glared at her fiercely, hurried over to the woman, and whispered, "If you don’t understand, then don’t talk nonsense here. This is top-shelf liquor, outside it’s close to twenty thousand a bottle! That cigarette is also top-shelf, all this stuff adds up to nearly a hundred thousand."
"This..."
She stared wide-eyed in shock.
"Mom, you’re right! I was in a rush when I came before, so I just grabbed this casually. Now that I think about it, it really isn’t appropriate, I’ll go with Junjun to buy some fruit or something instead."
As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei reached out, ready to take the items back.
Seeing his movement, Junjun’s younger brother and sister-in-law glared at her fiercely again.
In their eyes, she should have just kept her mouth shut.
After being glared at again, she realized she really had messed up.
She coughed and quickly said, "Well... since you’ve already brought it, then don’t take it back. It’s your token of goodwill, after all!"
"Alright then."
Giving her a long look, Hu Xiaobei spoke calmly.
After that, he sat down by the bed. "Auntie, I studied Chinese Medicine for a while before, let me take your pulse and see whether your condition is really that serious."
Hearing this, she quickly waved her hand, "No need to bother, my son already had someone come check me thoroughly before!"
He glanced at her and smiled faintly. "It’s no bother, really, it’s no bother at all!"
Hearing him say that, she didn’t know what to say anymore!
...
Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit awkward, Junjun’s younger brother quickly spoke up, "Brother-in-law Xiaobei, right! I’ve already had someone look at Mom’s problem, she really doesn’t need you to look again."
At this point, he turned to Feng Junjun and urged, "Sis, don’t waste time, hurry up and give me the money so I can go pay it, then we can hurry up and arrange a treatment plan. If we keep dragging this out, her condition is really going to get worse and worse."
"Exactly!"
Hearing his urging, Feng Junjun glanced at Hu Xiaobei.
Thinking that he wouldn’t harm her, she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, let Xiaobei take a look at you, his Medical Skill is really good."
