Inside the special care ward, Chen Lianxiang lay on the hospital bed. To her left sat Chen Dong and Zhang Yi, and to her right sat Chen Zaiguang and Zeng Xia. The others, including Chen Zailong and Chen Zaixing, stood at the foot of the bed and behind her, looking at Chen Lianxiang.

"Sister, this is our second uncle's grandson, your cousin Chen Zaidong, and next to him is his wife Zhang Yi," Chen Zaiguang introduced Chen Dong and his wife to Chen Lianxiang.

"Me too, me too, Auntie, my name is Jimmy!" Little Chen Hui was too short to reach the bed, only half his head sticking out. He hurriedly clung to the hospital bed and jumped up and down, calling out to Chen Lianxiang, "Auntie, get well soon! Jimmy has lots and lots of delicious candy to give you!"

The other uncles who were gathered around laughed and teased Chen Hui, saying, "You only gave some to your Aunt Lianxiang, but what about the other uncles? Shouldn't you share some with us too?"

Little Chen Hui tilted his head, glanced at his father behind him, and said, "But Daddy said that men don't like to eat sweets."

Chen Dong chuckled and patted his son's head, laughing heartily. Chen Zaixing teased, "Then why are you still eating candy?"

"But I'm only five years old, still a child! Uncle," Little Chen Hui tilted his head, giving everyone a "You're so stupid, Uncle" look, which made everyone burst into laughter again.

Wu Fangru patted Chen Zaixing's arm with a smile and called him a silly goose. Chen Zaixing laughed along with everyone else, and the ward was filled with laughter.

At the entrance of the county hospital, Liu Lishi, along with Liu Guomin and Liu Guoliang, her daughter and son-in-law, and Chen Lianxiang's three children, hurriedly entered the lobby. Upon encountering a nurse, they asked, "Comrade, which ward is Chen Lianxiang in?"

The nurse pointed to a counter not far ahead, "Go ask there."

Without even a thank you, Liu Li-shi dashed to the counter, plopped down on it, her obese body pressing against it, and leaned forward to loudly ask the nurse who was taking notes, "Comrade, which ward is Chen Lianxiang in?"

The nurse frowned, looked up, and asked, "Who are you to Comrade Chen Lianxiang?"

"I'm her mother-in-law, and this is her husband," Liu Li said, pulling Liu Guomin over. "These are her three children. We've come to visit her."

The nurse was somewhat puzzled. The person had been sent to the hospital and received emergency treatment for three or four days. Now that you know to come, you're calling your mother-in-law and husband. Although she felt contempt, the nurse still looked through the records and said to Liu Lishi, "She's in the ICU ward number one on the third floor."

After hearing this, Liu Li left immediately, and Liu Guomin and the others hurriedly followed. The three children were pulled upstairs by their aunt Liu Jiashui and her husband Zhou Quan.

The nurse couldn't help but complain, "What kind of person is that? So rude! All they do is ask questions; they can't even say thank you!"

Liu Li's group went up the stairs to the third floor, asking people along the way how to get to Special Care Ward 1. Chen Zaixing, who came out with the nurse to get medicine, bumped into Liu Li's family. His smiling face immediately darkened.

The three children, Liu Shaoling, Liu Shaoqun, and Liu Shaozhong, greeted their uncle with joy, calling out, "Uncle!"

Holding one child in each arm, Chen Zaixing looked at Liu Lishi and the others, asking in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here? Haven't you caused my sister enough suffering?"

"Uncle, what are you saying? We're all relatives, why are you saying such things..."

"Get the hell out of here, you motherfucker!" Chen Zaixing interrupted Liu Lishi, pointing a finger at her. "You get the hell out of here!"

"Zaixing, calm down. How is your sister Lianxiang?" Liu Guomin asked as he stepped forward.

"You fucking have the nerve to ask about my sister?" Chen Zaixing turned his attention to Liu Guomin, you bastard! That day at your house, if it weren't for Fourth Brother trying to save my sister, I would have smashed your head open with a carrying pole!"

"You still dare to stand in front of me and pretend to ask how my sister is doing," Chen Zaixing said, turning around to look for a handy tool.

Inside the intensive care unit, the Chen family members, who had been chatting and laughing, heard Chen Zaixing cursing and swearing in the corridor outside the ward. Chen Zailong thought that Chen Zaixing had gotten into a conflict with someone, so he quickly led his other cousins ​​out of the intensive care unit.

Upon seeing so many members of the Chen family emerge, Liu Li's courage, which had been bolstered by her in-laws, vanished instantly, and she wished she could simply turn around and leave.

Chen Zailong hurriedly stopped Chen Zaixing, who was about to smash a thermos over Liu Guomin's head, "Fifth Brother, what are you doing? What nonsense are you spouting!"

Zhao Zhigang also came over at this moment. When Liu Lishi saw the police officers in uniform, she felt relieved. She was really afraid that Chen Zaixing, that hothead, would go crazy. With the police officers here, at least the situation could be controlled.

Chen Zaifang and the others rushed forward to pull Chen Zaixing back, saying, "Fifth Brother, don't do anything rash! This is the county hospital, do you think we're in the village?!"

Zhao Zhigang curled his lip after hearing this, wondering if they could refrain from talking about such "illegal and disorderly" things in front of him, a policeman. Chen Zailong glared at Chen Zaifang, who was speaking, and said, "You're an idiot too, how can you say such a thing?"

Upon seeing the police, Liu Lishi stepped forward, crying and pleading, "Officers, please be the judge! I, the mother-in-law, came to visit my eldest daughter-in-law, but she not only blocked us from entering, but also tried to assault us! You saw it yourself—she was about to smash a thermos over my son's head! Please handcuff him immediately!"

"Comrade, I saw whether you hit anyone or not. Stop yelling. This hospital isn't a marketplace. If you keep shouting, I'll call the hospital security to come and take you both back to the station!"

Chen Zailong looked at Liu Guomin coldly, "What, you've had a change of heart and decided to come over?"

"Fourth Brother, I..." Liu Guomin stammered, not daring to look at Chen Zailong. Liu Li's daughter, Liu Jiashui, stepped forward and said, "Fourth Uncle, after all, my sister-in-law and my eldest brother are a couple. How could he not care about my sister-in-law? My eldest brother has been borrowing money everywhere these days, which has delayed him for a while. Now that he has borrowed some money, he rushed over."

"Really?" Chen Zailong said coldly. "Then you should go and pay Lianxiang's outstanding medical bills first. It's not much, just about two hundred yuan!"

"How many!"

Liu Li immediately shouted, "What kind of hospital is this? This is robbery! Even a robbery with a knife wouldn't be done like this! It's only been a few days, and we've already spent over two hundred yuan! What have we spent so much on?!"

The nurse next to her couldn't stand it anymore and said to Liu Li, "Hey, comrade, you have to be responsible for your words. Normal medical treatment costs are being treated as robbery in your mouth. If you keep saying that, I'll have to call the security department up here to have a talk with you!"

"No, no, no, comrade, my mom just starts yelling when she's in a hurry. Don't take it to heart," Liu Guoliang said, not daring to actually ask the nurse to go down and call the hospital security personnel.

"Who are you, spouting nonsense!"
