Because Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu's nas are registered under the house where the Jiao family lives, they can't ask for another place. Therefore, they can only rent a small room. Because of this, they have very little money left each month. If Father Li hadn't sent them so food every few months, they wouldn't have been able to live in the county town.
Li Chenze walked into the building and climbed up the stairs. The Jiao family lives on the third floor. When he stood in front of door No. 319, he took a few deep breaths before calming down his breathing. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he knocked on the door.
Not long after, an impatient voice ca from inside the house, "Coming, coming! It's so late, who's coming to visit?"
The door opened, and Li Chenze looked at the old woman in front of him and said, "Aunt Jiao, I'm sorry for coming to see you so late. However, there is sothing urgent that I need to inform you and your husband."
When Mother Jiao heard what he said, she suddenly ca back to her senses. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Chenze was speechless when she asked him this question. How could she not even recognize her son-in-law's family when they had t before?
"I am Li Chenze, Li Chenxuan's eldest brother."
When Mother Jiao heard his na, she let out a long 'Oh' and looked at him from head to toe, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. She crossed her arms and said, "It's so late, why are you here? Don't you know it's impolite to visit during al ti?"
Li Chenze needed to take a deep breath to calm down his irritation and said, "Aunt Jiao, I'm not here to leech off your al. I'm here to tell you about your daughter's situation."
Mother Jiao frowned and asked, "What's wrong with her? Shouldn't she be working at this ti?"
Without waiting for Li Chenze to explain, she added, "This damn girl always brings trouble to the family even after she gets married. I don't care what happens to her. Since she has married into your family, you should be the one who worries about her matter. Her affairs had nothing to do with my family. She is your family's responsibility now."
Li Chenze's eyes turned cold when he heard her words. He didn't expect Mother Jiao could say these heartless words as if the one they were talking about was a stranger and not her own daughter. No matter how bad Jiao Siyu's personality is, she is still her own daughter!
"Aunt Jiao, even if your daughter marries my second brother, she is still your biological daughter. How can you ignore her like this?" Li Chenze asked in disbelief.
"Whether I ignore her or not, it's all my business. What does it have to do with you? If there's nothing important, you should leave." Mother Jiao said impatiently.
When she wanted to close the door, Li Chenze blocked the door and said, "Aunt Jiao, your daughter fainted and is still in the hospital. The doctor said she may have leukemia. I'm here to inform you and your family about this. You and your husband should go to the hospital with , we can't decide her treatnt ourselves."
When Mother Jiao heard this, her eyes widened and she said in surprise, "What?! She is hospitalized? Do you know how much it costs to be hospitalized? She just fainted, is it necessary to send her to the hospital? Just take her ho, let her rest for a few days. Also, there is no need for my husband and I to go see her.
We are very busy!"
"Aunt Jiao!" Li Chenze couldn't help but raise his voice when he heard her words.
"What are you shouting for? I'm not deaf!" Jiao's mother asked loudly.
"Aunt Jiao, your daughter's illness is not as simple as fainting. She is still unconscious in the hospital, and the doctor said her illness may be very dangerous. As her mother, aren't you worried about her illness? Does her health an nothing to you?" Li Chenze asked in disbelief.
"A married daughter is like split water. Once she gets married, she is no longer a mber of the Jiao family. She is now the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Her life and death are the responsibility of your Li family." Mother Jiao said coldly.
After saying that, she closed the door, leaving Li Chenze standing outside the door with a look of disbelief on his face. He could hear Mother Jiao's words clearly as he stood outside the door.
"Pei! Want to use my daughter to get money from my family, just dream on!"
Li Chenze clenched his fists, turned, and left. With such a family, no wonder Jiao Siyu's personality is like that!
Now that he has told the Jiao family about Jiao Siyu's condition, Li Chenze doesn't care if they go to visit her or not. His first priority now is to get his second brother. Unlike the Jiao family, Li Chenxuan, as a husband, must take responsibility for Jiao Siyu.
It took half an hour to get from Jiao's ho to the factory where Li Chenxuan worked. When he arrived, the workers had just finished their work and everyone was leaving in groups. Standing outside the factory, Li Chenze saw his second brother at a glance. Seeing him talking and laughing intimately with a young woman, he frowned.
"Second brother." He called him, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Li Chenxuan was stunned for a mont when he heard the familiar voice. Looking back, he saw his oldest brother frowning and looking at him coldly. In an instant, Li Chenxuan's face turned gloomy. He turned to the young woman beside him and said sothing in a low voice before he walked toward his oldest brother.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" he asked.
