Chapter 162 My Grandma Has Alzheimer's
Xu Hui got even angrier, kicked over the wooden coffee table, and cursed, "Damn it, unfilial brat! What's the use of raising her! I fed her, fed her, sent her to university and graduate school, and what did she get in return? She's an ingrate!"
The implication is quite clear: of the three children, only Xu Hemei went on to graduate school.
Gao Hui disliked this granddaughter the most, and she got angry too. She banged on her cane and cursed, "You little brat, what's wrong with her? I'm going to kill her!"
Xu Hui's anger subsided a bit after hearing Gao Hui's words. He plopped down, crossed his legs, and said, "What else could it be? She promised me two million if I helped her get a divorce. Now she's gone back on her word, damn it!"
Gao Hui frowned. "She's a money-losing girl. She'd have to pay extra to get married. Where would she get so much money? Did she sell herself, or was she kept by someone?"
Xu Hui felt uncomfortable upon hearing this and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's what she earned from her live stream."
Gao Hui suddenly realized, "Isn't that just a matter of talking online?"
Xu Hui: "Yes."
Gao Hui tapped her cane and said angrily, "She's really gotten too big for her britches! What does a little brat like her think she can do with so much money all by herself?! Is she trying to get herself killed?!"
Hearing her yelling, Xu Hui became annoyed. "Alright, what's the point of yelling at me! Will yelling at me get her to transfer the money to me?"
Gao Hui said confidently, "Wait, I'll go to her tomorrow and ask for it. I don't believe I can't handle a little girl like her."
Xu Hui took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and waved his hand, "Whatever, I'm going out now."
Gao Hui reached out and pulled him, asking worriedly, "Where are you going so late?"
Xu Hui shook off her hand. "Go for a walk. You go to sleep first. Don't worry about me. I'm not a teenager anymore."
Gao Hui still treated him like a child, earnestly instructing him: "Don't come back too late. I'll stew some fish maw chicken for you as a midnight snack. Remember to eat it when you get back."
Xu Hui, however, looked impatient. "I know, how annoying!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, leaving behind only the smell of secondhand smoke.
Gao Hui looked at the closed door, sighed helplessly, turned around and went into the kitchen to start stewing chicken soup. She simmered it over low heat until 10:30 p.m. before turning off the heat and going back to her room to sleep.
Day two.
He Qiaoyun got up early in the morning and went to the bank with her bank card and ID.
For large transfers, the staff were extremely cautious, checking and verifying the information repeatedly. It took them quite a while to successfully complete the transfer.
He Qiaoyun took the receipt, walked out of the bank, took a picture, and sent it to her daughter: [The money has been transferred. It should arrive in a couple of days. Remember to check your account.]
Xu Hemei was writing a medical record for the head doctor when she received a message. Her face lit up with a smile, and she felt motivated to continue her work.
She replied: 【Okay! Thank you, Mommy.】
He Qiaoyun: [No need to thank me, this was originally yours, I was just keeping it safe for you.]
Xu Hemei happily put down her phone and was about to continue working when there was a knock on the door of the department. A nurse poked her head out and said, "Dr. Xu, someone is looking for you outside."
Xu Hemei responded with a "Yes," then stood up and asked, "Who's looking for me?"
The nurse shook her head. "It's an elderly lady who specifically asked to see you. She's in the outpatient lobby on the first floor."
Xu Hemei's right eyelid twitched violently twice, and she had a feeling that this was not a good thing, but she went downstairs to find out what was going on.
After circling around, the elevator stopped in the outpatient lobby on the first floor. My unease grew stronger and stronger. I walked slowly into the lobby and immediately saw my grandmother, Gao Hui, sitting on a rest chair with her cane.
Although Gao Hui was over eighty years old, her eyesight was excellent. She spotted Xu Hemei, who was hesitating, at a glance. She quickly got up with her cane and walked briskly to her side.
Xu Hemei disliked Gao Hui, and her face showed little expression as she simply asked, "Grandma, you came to see me... what's the matter?"
Before she could finish speaking, Gao Hui struck her with her cane, yelling, "You ungrateful little brat!"
Xu Hemei clutched her arm in pain; the blow had been forceful, and her brows furrowed in agony. "Grandma, what are you doing!"
It was a weekday, and there were quite a few people in the lobby. Although everyone was busy seeing doctors and getting medicine, they rarely saw such a scene, so they all stopped to watch.
Gao Hui wasn't afraid of people coming to watch; she was afraid of no one watching. She raised her cane and, taking advantage of the pain, struck the woman again. "You unfilial brat! Your father can't bear to hit you, so I'll teach you a lesson for him!"
These words revealed her identity, telling the onlookers that she was not causing trouble for medical treatment, but simply a family dispute, and that those who wanted to interfere should mind their own business!
Xu Hemei was in so much pain that she was angry and wanted to lash out, but seeing the onlookers and realizing she was still wearing her white coat, she was afraid of making a bad impression. So she gritted her teeth, swallowed her anger, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Grandma, this is my workplace. Please don't make a scene here."
Hearing this, Gao Hui became even angrier and yelled, "You unfilial daughter! How dare you say I'm throwing a tantrum! I'll beat you to death today!"
As she spoke, she raised her cane and charged at her.
Xu Hemei reached out and took her cane, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Okay, Grandma, I'll take you back. Let's not block other people's way, okay?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and pulled Gao Hui aside, forcing an awkward smile, and said to the crowd, "I'm sorry, my grandma has Alzheimer's and always mistakes me for an unfilial daughter. It's also my fault; I was too busy leaving this morning and forgot to give her her medicine. I'm sorry for making you all laugh. Please disperse, parents with children, please keep a close eye on your kids to prevent a stampede..."
Gao Hui struggled and screamed, "You're the one with dementia! I'm perfectly fine! You unfilial wretch, let me go! Let me go! I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Hemei forced a smile and repeatedly apologized to the crowd, "I'm so sorry to have disturbed everyone. I'll take my grandma away right away. I'm so sorry..."
The onlookers, who thought they were about to witness a good show, were surprised to find that it was just an elderly man with dementia acting crazy, and wisely dispersed.
Two nurses squeezed through the crowd and helped Xu Hemei hold Gao Hui back.
Gao Hui reacted strongly, and with her loud voice, she yelled at them, "Let me go! Let me go! This is kidnapping!"
Xu Hemei gestured towards the door with her chin, indicating to the two nurses to take Gao Hui out. Then, she gently soothed Gao Hui, "Grandma, be good, let's go back. Don't make a scene here, okay...?"
They completely ignored Gao Hui's opinions and simply led her out of the hospital lobby.
Xu Hemei thanked the two nurses, who then turned and went back to the hospital lobby.
