Chapter 37: Sucking the Blood of Selfish and Partial Parents

The couple in the ward started arguing like a fire had been lit.

Jiang Mei was also unhappy. She looked around and felt embarrassed. Her in-laws had relatives working at the People’s Hospital. If this matter was heard by them and then spread to her mother-in-law’s ears, she would be utterly humiliated!

The noise attracted the attention of the nurse on rounds. The nurse stopped them, “Hey, hey, this is a hospital, not a market! Patients need quiet, no noise allowed!”

Li Songdi glared fiercely at Jiang Dayue.

This old geezer looked so guilty, he must have deliberately not pulled up his pants to show off in front of these young nurses! She knew him too well!

Jiang Ning watched them arguing from the side. Seeing the nurse come over, she anxiously asked, “Nurse, is my dad’s condition very serious? How long will he have to stay in the hospital?”

The nurse was puzzled, “Bed 35, Jiang Dayue? I was just about to say, you can be discharged. Come on, pack up your things and leave quickly, make room for other patients.”

Li Songdi was dumbfounded. Didn’t she just beg the doctor to admit him? She even paid the deposit!

As soon as Jiang Ning heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and complained to Jiang Mei, “Sister, you’re really something. Dad is clearly fine, but you still followed Mom and Dad’s nonsense. It’s good that he can be discharged now!”

Jiang Mei’s lips twitched. She was speechless, but then she realized that there were no buses back to the village at this time. If her parents couldn’t stay in the hospital, what would they do?

Li Songdi refused to be discharged. Just now, she was distracted by Jiang Ning’s mention of pulling up his pants, and she almost forgot the purpose of coming today, which was to get money from her second daughter!

She was furious at the sight of the old man’s cowardly look, and she simply pinched him hard.

At the same time, she cried out, “Oh, old man! What are you yelling for? What’s wrong? Where are you hurting again?”

“Jiang Ning, look, your dad can’t be discharged like this!”

Jiang Dayue was pinched by his wife’s sharp fingernails, and he cried out in pain, looking like he was about to faint.

Jiang Ning watched coldly. They were determined to stay in the hospital today. She cooperated with a worried expression and went forward, “Nurse, come and have a look, my dad’s stomach hurts, it looks like appendicitis.”

The nurse pressed a few times, asking where it hurt and where it didn’t. Under Li Songdi’s watchful eyes, Jiang Dayue followed the nurse’s words.

The nurse said, “It could be appendicitis. Let’s send him for a checkup first, and then the doctor will arrange surgery.”

Jiang Ning said, “Sister, quickly take Dad for a checkup. His face is pale with pain. I’ll stay here with Mom.”

Jiang Mei helped Jiang Dayue up, and before leaving, she exchanged a glance with her mother.

After the nurse also left, Li Songdi’s face was full of panic. She grabbed Jiang Ning’s hand and cried, “Your dad’s body is so weak! He’s leaking everywhere. How could the doctor let us stay in the hospital? It’s only been a short while, and he’s got another illness. It’s really a curse!”

“Ning, your sister will definitely stay to take care of your dad tonight. So about what we discussed earlier…”

“Discuss what? As long as Dad gets better, I’m fine with anything.” Jiang Ning casually agreed, then suddenly frowned and touched her stomach.

“Mom, I’m really starving. I didn’t even eat before I rushed over. By the way, I was diagnosed with low blood sugar a while ago. The doctor said I could easily faint and die if I don’t eat dinner. Do you have any change on you? Give me some, I need to eat something quickly.”

Li Songdi: “?”

How did the topic suddenly turn to asking her for money?

She clenched her waist, frowning and asking, “Mom doesn’t have any money. You want to eat, didn’t you bring any money?”

“I haven’t even gone home yet. I came here right after calling you. How could I bring money?”

Jiang Ning’s face showed displeasure, “Mom, the doctor said I can’t go hungry. Are you really going to let me starve and faint, and then get hit by a car on the road? Am I not your real daughter anymore?”

Li Songdi furrowed her brows tightly, seeing that she did look a little weak, like she was uncomfortable from hunger.

She thought for a moment, thinking that it would be good to let Jiang Ning go eat first. She could take advantage of this time to arrange for the old man to stay in the hospital behind her back. When Jiang Ning came back after eating, she would directly settle the matter of medical expenses and nutrition fees with her.

After all, she didn’t have any money on her, so what was the point of talking so much now?

Li Songdi searched her waist, rummaging for a long time, and finally dug out fifty cents from her waist pocket.

Jiang Ning took a look, “This isn’t enough! I’m so filial to you, Mom, why are you being so stingy with me?”

She directly reached out and dug out a few yuan from that pocket, didn’t even count them, and covered her stomach, “Alright, this is enough. Mom, I’m going to eat. Should I bring you anything?”

Li Songdi watched the money with longing, wanting to grab it back.

A few yuan! What kind of food requires so much money? Eating gold?

Hearing Jiang Ning’s question, she immediately shook her head, “I don’t want anything! You eat by yourself! Be frugal, remember to give me the rest.”

She wouldn’t buy food outside. That was a waste! It was better to eat something at home! Why spend money outside?

It was only her second daughter, Jiang Ning, who was naive and had accidentally married a honest man who was the factory director. He didn’t manage her much, so she only knew how to spend money outside, really irresponsible.

This was her daughter, and she was going to harm other families after getting married. If it were her daughter-in-law, she would spit on her to death.

Li Songdi muttered and complained, waiting for a long time, seeing that her deadbeat husband and eldest daughter hadn’t come back yet, she couldn’t bear it anymore and went out to look for them.

Jiang Ning walked out of the hospital and counted the money she had extorted from her mother.

Tsk, a total of seven yuan and twenty-five cents! She could have a good meal tonight.

She was indeed hungry. There were a few restaurants across from the hospital, and she went to a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and sat down to eat slowly.

Her cheap parents wanted to get money from her, Jiang Ning knew without thinking, it must be for their precious son and precious grandson.

Jiang Dayue and Li Songdi’s only son was called Jiang Jinjun. He was Li Songdi’s greatest pride in life.

Although this son was lazy and cowardly, and had never given his parents a penny of filial piety even at the age of twenty or thirty, he was still the apple of Li Songdi and Jiang Dayue’s eyes, their beloved son.

Li Songdi’s second greatest pride was Jiang Jinjun’s son, her precious grandson, who was now only three years old.

Her third greatest pride was probably her son-in-law, who was the factory director.

From the few words Jiang Mei had mentioned before, Jiang Ning had guessed that this time, it was either her elder brother wanting to build a new house and move out to live alone, or the family needed a large sum of money to buy something.

In the past, the original owner was very easy to coax in front of her parents. Li Songdi especially liked to use the trick of complaining about her son’s uselessness and praising her daughter’s understanding. She would ruthlessly compare them, inflating the original owner’s sense of filial piety, making her feel that her maternal family couldn’t survive without her, and then she would want to give all her money to her parents.

In fact, Jiang Dayue and Li Songdi received their daughter’s filial piety, and before they could warm it up, they turned around and stuffed it into the hands of their “useless, good-for-nothing” son.

Li Songdi only needed to move her lips and say a few nice words, but Jiang Ning was the one who paid the real money!

Now, she wouldn’t be a sucker anymore.

Your son is a good-for-nothing, ungrateful white-eyed wolf, not filial to you, it’s because you didn’t teach him well, what does it have to do with me?

Jiang Mei had long seen through this.

That’s why she teamed up with her mother today to try to get money from Jiang Ning.

No wonder they were all blood-sucking parasites!

Lu Xun said, if you can’t beat them, join them.

Well, Jiang Ning had become a blood-sucking parasite too, sucking her parents’ blood, let’s see who could suck more! QvQ
