Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Qin Huairu said in a calm tone.

"Fifty yuan."

“You and Banggeng were both unconscious at the time, and the three old men refused to lend you money.”

“I was afraid you would be in danger if I dragged this out, so I took the money from your box.”

"Don't worry, your remaining money is still inside, I haven't touched it."

Fifty yuan, fifty yuan! At this moment, Jia Zhangshi's heart was bleeding with pain.

She looked at Qin Huairu beside her and said through gritted teeth.

"Qin Huairu, let me tell you, even if the sky falls down, you can't touch my money."

"If you're out of money, figure it out yourself. Nobody is allowed to touch my money, do you hear me?"

Qin Huairu sneered inwardly, but gave a perfunctory reply.

"I understand. Next time, even if you're lying there unable to move, I won't touch your money."

"If we don't have money for medical treatment, we'll just stay at home and leave our fate to fate."

Jia Zhangshi glanced at Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, what do you mean by that?"

"Are you cursing me to have something bad happen to me during the Lunar New Year?"

"How did I end up with such an unfilial daughter-in-law?"

"Instead of trying to solve the problem of her mother-in-law's illness, she is eyeing the elderly person's retirement money."

Qin Huairu was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore. Let her say whatever she wanted; the money had already been spent anyway.

“I’m telling you, this money will be deducted from your salary, and you’ll have to pay me back monthly.”

“Taking care of the elderly and children is your responsibility as a daughter-in-law and mother.”

Just as Qin Huairu was about to speak, she heard a shout coming from outside.

"Help! Someone's fallen into the toilet..."

Jia Zhangshi laughed at these words.

"Damn it, this guy is so clumsy, he can fall into the toilet while going to the toilet. How come he didn't knock himself out?"

"To pull something like this during the Lunar New Year is really bad luck."

Qin Huairu looked at the empty bed in Banggeng's room and suddenly felt uneasy. Just then, a nurse ran over.

"Qin Huairu, don't sit there, go check on him, your Jia Geng has fallen into the toilet."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu stood up abruptly and walked towards the restroom.

Madam Jia, who had been watching the spectacle, couldn't sit still any longer when she heard that the unfortunate fool was her grandson.

"Bang Geng, Bang Geng, how are you?"

After getting out of bed, Jia Zhangshi walked towards the outside. In her haste, she didn't pay attention to her footing, lost her footing, and fell flat on her face.

The nurse, who had just stepped out of the room, rushed back upon seeing this.

"Auntie, are you alright...?"

Jia Zhangshi went to the toilet more than ten times today, and she felt very weak.

Now that she was lying on the ground, she couldn't muster any strength at all, and just as she had said, she knocked herself unconscious.

This person's sharp tongue has finally paid off.

Immediately, chaos erupted in the ward, with everything clattering and rattling around.

The next morning, New Year's Day.

After having breakfast, Jia Zhangshi heard that she would be charged twelve yuan for medical treatment again early this morning, and she was furious.

She knew that if she stayed in this hospital any longer, Qin Huairu would probably have to start using her retirement savings again.

Qin Huairu already owes her enough money to pay off two years' worth of debts, so she can't lend any more.

After getting out of bed, she asked about Bang Geng's condition. Once she confirmed that everything was alright, she immediately called over Qin Huairu, who was standing nearby.

"Alright, hurry up and pack your things, let's go home."

"Hospital fees are so expensive, don't stay in the hospital. If you stay any longer, I won't pay."

Just then, a female doctor walked in, examined the three children, and gave them instructions.

"The little boy needs another antidiarrheal pill, and the two girls need an extra dose of Vitamin C."

Seeing that the doctor was about to apply medicine to the two little girls, Jia Zhang-shi immediately stopped him.

"Doctor, please stop, please stop. Please process our discharge papers."

The doctor frowned upon hearing this.

"Auntie, this might not be appropriate."

"The four of you suffered from food poisoning. Although you are out of danger, it would be best if you stayed in the hospital for observation as a precaution."

"And your two granddaughters, they are young and have weak immune systems, so they also need to have their immunity boosted."

Jia Zhangshi spat to the side.

"Pah, strengthen my ass! They're just two money-losing machines. Aren't they both getting diarrhea now?"

"Since you've stopped having diarrhea, then everything's fine."

"Get the discharge papers done right now, stop talking nonsense. If you don't do it, you'll have to pay for the medical bills!"

The doctor said with a dissatisfaction.

"Comrade, what you said is wrong. The old-fashioned ideas of valuing sons over daughters are unacceptable."

Jia Zhangshi, enraged and embarrassed, said...

"Oh ho, so everyone wants to teach me a lesson."

"Am I wrong?"

"A granddaughter can't compare to a grandson. After she gets married, will she be able to send the money she earns back to her family?"

"Take yourself as an example. If you sent your salary to your parents' family, would your husband and in-laws agree?"

"What's wrong? Speechless now? A money-loser is a money-loser. What's there to say? Discharge him!"

The doctor was furious, but what the old woman said reflected the thoughts of many people in society.

Whether it was before or after liberation, once a woman got married, it was like water spilled from a cup; she became part of her husband's family and had to be devoted to them.

The money earned should be prioritized to support the family and serve the parents-in-law. If one tries to provide financial assistance to one's own family equally, one might be criticized.

"Old lady, you've gone too far with your words! Don't forget, you're a woman too!"

Jia Zhangshi glared at him.

“So what if I’m a woman? How dare you, a doctor, talk to a patient like that? If you scare me into having a heart attack, I’ll just stay at your house and eat and drink at your house.”

"Hurry up and process my paperwork, or I'm going to complain to your boss."

The female doctor was unwilling to argue with Jia Zhangshi any longer, so she simply handed over the prescription.

"You still owe 12.6 yuan for hospitalization, medication, and last night's emergency treatment. If you want to be discharged, you should pay the fees first."

"Also, you requested to be discharged yourself. Please sign the voluntary discharge form. Any problems you encounter after discharge are not our hospital's concern."

Jia Zhangshi said angrily.

"Why do you want to charge for emergency treatment? Are you trying to save a person or rob them?"

The female doctor said irritably.

"One was knocked out by the fumes, and the other was knocked out by a fall. If you weren't given emergency treatment, would you still be here talking to me?"

After saying that, the female doctor threw the form on the bed and left. Qin Huairu came back from outside and saw that the doctor's expression was not right, so she went up to ask her.

"Doctor, what's wrong? Are the children alright?"

The female doctor glanced back at the doorway of the ward.

"The children are fine, but is your mother-in-law in trouble?"

Qin Huairu was stunned.

"Doctor, what happened to my mother-in-law?"

The female doctor snorted.

"It's nothing serious, just a dent in his head from the fall and some water got in!"

After saying that, the female doctor left. Qin Huairu realized that the female doctor was insulting her mother-in-law.
