Chapter 333 Grandma Xia is still not awake
Su Qingyan handed the lunchbox to Xia Zhiqian, "This is millet porridge I made for Grandpa, and two boiled eggs. Zhiheng, here are some steamed buns and soy milk for you."
It was inconvenient for Su Qingyan to go shopping with the child, so she cooked whatever she had at home. On her way here, she also bought some steamed buns, intending to give them to her uncle and Zhiheng.
Yang Yunxia also took out a lunchbox and placed it on the table. "I made pork rib and yam porridge for your grandfather."
Grandpa Xia looked at them and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"By the way, Zhiheng, has your grandma woken up?"
Xia Zhiheng shook his head. The doctor said that if his grandmother didn't wake up today, it would be dangerous.
"Then you take good care of your grandfather, I'll go check on your grandmother. Dad, the higher-ups are coming to inspect our work today, so I can't ask for leave," Yang Yunxia said apologetically.
"It's alright! Go about your business. Zhiheng and Zhiqian are fine at the hospital."
"Okay, Dad, I'll go upstairs to see Mom. Then I'll go to work and come see you and Mom again after I get off work."
After saying that, Yang Yunxia left, and Xia Zhiheng asked his grandfather what kind of porridge he wanted to eat.
"Millet porridge, not too much, half a bowl will do. Qingyan, where's the child?"
Grandpa Xia's wife hasn't woken up yet, and he has no appetite, but he's afraid they'll worry if he doesn't eat.
"Grandpa, don't worry about Ah Ying. Aunt Chunhua is taking care of the child."
Grandpa Xia said nothing more and lowered his head to eat his porridge. Why was Su Qingyan looking at Grandpa? She told Xia Zhiheng that she was going upstairs to see Grandma Xia.
"Uncle, have you eaten? I bought steamed buns and soy milk."
When Su Qingyan entered Grandma Xia's ward, Yang Yunxia had already left. Only Xia Guoan and a middle-aged man were there. Su Qingyan didn't recognize him, so she nodded to him as a greeting.
"Qingyan, I've already eaten. Has your grandfather woken up?"
"Grandpa's awake, he's having breakfast now. By the way, Uncle, where did Xiao Chu sleep last night?"
"Xiao Chu and her uncle stayed at Shi Zhou's house for one night. She stayed with your grandmother until after 2 a.m. yesterday before going back."
Pei Shizhou said he had someone at his house to clean, and that Xia Yichu and Lin Weidong could stay there. Xia Guoan and Lin Weidong, considering the matter of the spies, didn't object and agreed. Anyway, with Lin Weidong there, Xia Guoan had nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Pei Shizhou, Lin Weidong, and Xia Yichu walked in.
"Uncle Wu, sister-in-law, you've arrived so early."
Xia Yichu was very happy to see Su Qingyan. She was worried about her grandmother and had asked Pei Shizhou to wake her up at eight o'clock yesterday because she was afraid she would oversleep.
Yesterday, she gave Grandma Xia some space water, but found that she was still unconscious and had difficulty swallowing. She fed her for most of the day and didn't know if she had actually drunk any of it.
Instead, they got her clothes wet. After Xia Guoan noticed, he had someone change Grandma Xia's clothes. Then he told Xia Yichu not to stay with Grandma Xia and to go home and rest.
So after brushing her teeth and washing her face in the morning, she rushed to the hospital without eating breakfast. She bought some on the way and ate it at the hospital.
"Uncle Lin, Shizhou, Xiaochu, I just arrived."
"Sister-in-law, where's the baby?" Xia Yichu asked, not seeing the child.
"The child is being taken care of by Aunt Ying and Aunt Chunhua, so I came to the hospital to lend a hand."
"Sister-in-law, has Grandma woken up yet?"
"No, the doctor came to examine me just now, and said it's too early to make a judgment, so I just have to wait."
These words were spoken by Xia Guoan. After Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou returned yesterday, it was Xia Guoan who kept watch at night. The higher-ups had assigned two people to protect his safety.
"Uncle Xia, go and rest for a bit. I'll call you if I need anything," Pei Shizhou said.
"Need not"
Xia Guoan didn't want to go. His mother's condition was unclear, and he couldn't sleep because he didn't want to leave the hospital.
"Go! Even if you don't need to rest, the people guarding you need to rest too."
Lin Weidong noticed that Xia Guoan's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was haggard. He hadn't rested much since Xiao Chu was kidnapped, and if he continued like this, his body would eventually break down.
"Teacher, you see that your uncle cares about you, so just listen to him."
Wu Mingli, who was standing nearby, said that when he first arrived at the hospital, he had tried to persuade Xia Guoan to go home and get some sleep, but Xia Guoan refused and insisted on staying there to keep watch.
"I'm not worried about him, I'm afraid he'll ruin his health and then no one will earn money for Xiao Chuhua in the future," Lin Weidong said, his words tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Everyone suppressed their laughter, knowing full well what was going on, and Xia Guoan eventually went to rest. However, he didn't leave the hospital. There was still a bed available for Grandpa Xia, where he rested.
He told his two bodyguards to go back and rest, but only one of them went back. Even though it was daytime, they didn't dare to let their guard down. Wu Mingli stayed behind and chatted with Grandpa Xia.
Pei Shizhou, Xia Yichu, Su Qingyan, and Lin Weidong were upstairs keeping watch over Grandma Xia. Xia Yichu and Su Qingyan were inside helping Grandma Xia wash her face and wipe her hands, while Pei Shizhou and Lin Weidong were outside the door.
"Xiao Chu, I was terrified when I heard you were kidnapped by spies. Luckily, your brother said you were rescued without any serious injury."
Su Qingyan said with lingering fear that she was terrified just hearing the word "spy" and couldn't bear to think about how desperate she must have been when Xiao Chu was kidnapped by them.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry! I've always been lucky, nothing will happen."
Xia Yichu said smugly, but she lowered her voice to avoid being overheard by her uncle sitting outside, as she didn't want to be scolded again.
"You're really lucky, but Xiao Chu, you still need to be more careful in the future."
"Okay, I'll be careful. Sister-in-law, how has Yang Yunxia been treating Grandma lately?"
Not only did Xia Zhiheng suspect Yang Yunxia, but even Xia Yichu suspected her. It wasn't that she suspected Yang Yunxia was a spy, but rather that she suspected Yang Yunxia had heard information from who-knows-where.
She'd been tormented by her grandmother for so long, she couldn't take it anymore, so knowing her grandmother couldn't handle the shock, she deliberately told her this news. Once her grandmother died, Yang Yunxia would be free.
Xia Yichu thought it wasn't impossible; if she was a spy, she would definitely use Yang Yunxia to deal with the Xia family, and she could be a breakthrough point.
"It's great. Whatever Grandma asks my mother-in-law to do, she agrees with a smile and listens patiently to Grandma. Even if Grandma says she didn't do it well, she doesn't get angry and will apologize to Grandma."
"I haven't had any contact with the Yang family lately. My mother-in-law has changed a lot; she's become more and more kind and approachable, and she's been very good to both me and Miaoying."
Speaking of Yang Yunxia's changes, Su Qingyan smiled. If only her mother-in-law could always be this understanding!
Hearing Su Qingyan's words, Xia Yichu's suspicions deepened. Her grandmother had tormented Yang Yunxia so much, yet she remained so good-natured; there might be more to the story.
"Shizhou, how is my mother? And who is this...?"
Luo Hao's voice came from outside. He was abroad on business and received a call from Xia Guofang yesterday afternoon. He took the earliest flight back to China, a journey that took all night, and rushed to the hospital as soon as he got off the plane.
"Uncle Luo, this is Xiao Chu's maternal uncle. Grandma Xia hasn't woken up yet, and Xiao Chu and Sister-in-law Qingyan are inside with her. Uncle, this is Xiao Chu's uncle-in-law."
"Brother Lin, hello." Luo Hao extended his hand and shook hands with Lin Weidong.
"Hello, her uncle."
"Then I'll go see my mom first, and we'll talk later."
Luo Hao said he had been worried the whole way. Luo Yuekai had recently fallen ill, and Xia Guofang was staying home to take care of him. She had come by yesterday when Grandma Xia was brought to the hospital.
"Okay, let's go in quickly!"
