When she thought of this, she burst into tears. Her voice was shrill, and she was on the verge of death. Veins bulged on her forehead and neck, and they were bright red.
Fu Yu An felt his heart ache. He embraced her shoulders and let her lean on him, "Don't cry anymore. Believe me. "My heart hurts."
The car drove for an hour and a half before finally arriving at the Jezzie Hospital.
Her shoes fell on the floor of the car as she ran barefoot into the hospital. Fu Yu An chased after her with his shoes in hand. He followed her to the ward where Mama Jiang lived, but Jiang Weishu stood at the door and took a deep breath, not daring to open it.
"Why aren't you going in?" Fu Yu An held her arm. She was trembling and her fists were tightly clenched.
Jiang Wenshu took two deep breaths. He had thought through everything and finally mustered the courage to push open the door.
On the bed stood an aunt who was about the same age as Aunt Jiang. They were chatting when the aunt saw Jiang Wenshu and smiled. "Your daughter is here. Alright then, you guys can talk first. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Jiang Wangshu saw his mother lying on the sickbed. Her face was pale, but she was in good spirits. There was a bowl of porridge beside the bed, which had just been opened and was steaming hot.
"Ginger?" Expense? I already told your Aunt Wang that I don't need to call you back. Isn't this a burden? "
Jiang Wangshu sniffed. Trying to hold back the tears, "What's wrong with you? Auntie Wang said that you fainted all of a sudden. If you don't let Auntie Wang tell me, does that mean you don't remember that you have a daughter like me? "
"Nonsense," Mother Jiang scolded her, "I was afraid I would delay your work."
"I don't need to work on Saturday."
"I forgot."
"You liar!" Just like when she was young, she pouted and couldn't help but tear up, "You did it on purpose. What happened? Why would he faint for no reason? You tell me the truth. If you don't, I'll ask the doctor. "
Helpless, Mother Jiang could only say, "It's just anemia. It's not a big deal?"
"Anemia? How can you be anaemic? Why don't you just call me and tell me to have a good meal? It's not like your family is penniless or poor to the point where you can't afford to eat. Just save that bit of money and save what did you save? "
She was angry at her mother for telling her to eat properly, but it was not good for her to eat. Angry that her mother! The first thing she thought of when she thought of when she was in trouble was to hide it from her biological daughter!
Fu Yu An pulled her behind him and said, "Talk to your mother properly."
Then she turned back to him. "Why didn't I say anything? Am I wrong? "As adults, you guys love to lie to children. Was it like this when you were young? When you grew up, you did it like this. Just explain it to me clearly today. Why are you carrying me around at home?"
Mother Jiang pointed a finger at her head as she spoke to Yu Andao, "Look, look at this child. He's used to this, but now Lawless is questioning me."
Fu Yu'an tried to smooth things over in the middle, "She was worried about you. I remember you always working in a florist's shop. The job at the florist's shop shouldn't be that busy. How can you be anaemic?"
Mother Jiang finally revealed the truth after being interrogated by Fu Yuan and Jiang Wang Shu. So Mother Jiang was not only working in a florist's shop, she even went to the hotel for a part-time job at night, and the hotel was too busy to work until one or two in the morning. Every time she went around like this, her body wouldn't be able to take it anymore, not to mention that Mother Jiang didn't eat properly.
Jiang Wangshu's heart ached for his mother, but he remained stubborn on the surface. "If you don't have money, then just tell me. It's not like I can't afford to give it to you. Why didn't you tell me?"
Aunt Jiang also said with a straight face, "What are you doing with that small amount of money? I don't know you? Even if you keep your own flowers, they might not be enough. "
The more the mother and daughter talked, the more the atmosphere got out of hand. Jiang Wangshu was worried about his mother, so he felt both angry and upset. Naturally, he was angry at his mother for talking to his daughter.
Fu Yu An dragged Jiang Wangshu out of the room and pushed him into a chair in the corridor. "Is that your attitude towards your mother?"
Jiang Wenshu sat on a chair and suddenly covered his face as he cried. She knew that saying those words would hurt, but she was too anxious. She couldn't control her temper, and now she regretted it. She hated herself deeply.
Fu Yu An silently sighed, took her hand away, helped her wipe the tears off her face, squatted in front of her, wiped her feet with his hand, and helped her put on her shoes.
"Don't you know why your mom is so desperate to earn money?"
She was silent.
Fu Yu An was sure that she was hiding something from him, so he pressed on. "You know? "Because of what?"
"Don't ask." Jiang Wenshu stood up and walked out.
Fu Yuhan followed behind her and silently waited for her to go downstairs to buy some wontons and buns. After buying some buns, they went to buy salted chicken and followed her all the way back. She went to all the restaurants downstairs, and when she returned, her hands were full with a bunch of food.
He didn't like her silence, so he stopped her at the bottom of the hospital. "Why?"
"It has nothing to do with you, so don't ask." She took two steps and stopped again. "You can go back tomorrow morning. I'll take a leave from home to take care of my mother."
"I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me?"
Jiang Wenshu's feet halted. He suddenly came to his senses and turned to ask, "Why are you in Hot Springs City today?"
Fu Yu An retorted with a question, "Answer my question first. What happened at home?"
He had spent too much money on his family over the years. His mother didn't want him to pay again, and neither did Jiang Wangshu. She didn't want anyone to know that she and her mother were vampires.
"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it." Annoyed, she walked back, but before she could take two steps, she was dragged by the arm into a nearby stairwell.
The hospital was small, the elevator was empty, no one would take the stairs, it was quiet, only the two of them.
Jiang Wenshu's hands were full, but he couldn't push Tang Wulin away. He grabbed Jiang Wenshu's shoulders and shoved him against the wall. "You really want to draw a clear line between us?" You drew it so clearly that you won't be contacting it ever again? "
She looked up at him, saying nothing.
But in her heart, she was desperately denying: No, of course not. How could she bear not to contact him?
However, the more she roared in her heart, the calmer her expression became.
Fu Yu An knew she was weak and said word by word, "If you want to draw a clear line between yourself and me, fine, you have the ability, but you can't be so selfish. Your mother has worked hard all her life, and you're willing to let her work two jobs at her age?"
