Chapter 677: Will Little Sister Be Unwilling to Help Us Because of What Happened Before?

Fu Yanming sighed inwardly; the second couple was probably still living in a daydream.

Clearly, the family had already made plans for him, yet this couple's lie not only delayed their return to the city but also angered Mother.

Yet he could not speak plainly to the second brother about this matter.

He had originally intended to use the fourth brother's return home to recover from his injuries as a chance to call them back and ease relations, but seeing Mother's attitude, he feared she would not forgive them easily.

It was all the second brother's fault for being so useless; he had not voluntarily returned to apologize to Father and Mother for so long. Did you think you could dodge the first day of the month and escape the fifteenth? Look, there is still more trouble to come.

Little did he know that the person he was complaining about was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Physician, how is my son?"

"We just gave him an antipyretic injection; if it doesn't work, we will have to administer an intravenous drip."

"You two should be ashamed; you only brought the child here after he burned up like this. How big must your hearts be?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right to scold us; we as parents have not done our duty."

"Very well, one of you stay here to watch him, while the other goes to pay the fee first."

Upon hearing "pay the fee," the couple's faces both darkened.

Fu Yanwei said somewhat awkwardly, "Physician, we left in a hurry, and I did not bring enough money. Let my wife stay here; I will go back to fetch it."

The Physician glanced at the child on the bed with a flushed little face: "Do not delay too long; if the fever does not go down, we will still have to administer an intravenous drip."

The meaning of those words was quite broad.

The nurse standing nearby, speaking her mind directly, said, "If you do not pay the fee, and the fever does not go down, the drip probably cannot be administered. Do not blame us if you delay the child."

Having finished speaking, she left together with the Physician.

Hao Yanhong felt quite anxious at this moment: "Yanwei, what should we do?"

Fu Yanwei raised his hand and wiped his face: "You stay here to watch the child; I will go find Little Sister."

Upon hearing that he intended to find his sister-in-law, Hao Yanhong felt very guilty: "Will Little Sister be unwilling to help us because of what happened before?"

Fu Yanwei irritably ruffled his own hair: "There is no other way now; she cannot possibly ignore Jinze."

Having finished speaking, he turned and walked out: "Watch your son; I will be back shortly."

As he walked all the way toward the Ding Zhiqing station, Fu Yanwei kept thinking: If that day he had taken his son back to apologize to his parents, would things not have turned out this way?

He had originally intended to return that day, but in the end, he still wanted to take a gamble.

He never expected that his parents were truly angry with them, so this month they really did not send them that ten yuan.

When the couple last returned to the city, the little money they had saved was all spent at his father-in-law's house; without the ten yuan of support from his parents this month, their days were lived very tightly.

He never expected that at this time, his son would fall ill.

He had originally thought it was just catching a chill from playing in the water and that enduring it a bit would see them through, but instead, the fever reached forty degrees, nearly scaring the couple to death.

Thinking about these matters, he soon arrived at the Ding Zhiqing station.

As soon as he entered the Ding Zhiqing station, someone recognized him.

Although his own Little Sister would not reveal what he had done, for some reason, he still felt somewhat embarrassed.

Sun Juanjuan, who had come out to fetch water, saw him approaching and lost her previous smile; unwillingly, she shouted into the dormitory, "Little Wan, your second brother has come."

Fu Yanwan, who was holding a chicken cake to eat, heard Sun Juanjuan's words, stood up, and went to the doorway: "Why have you come?"

Only after asking did she notice that her own second brother's expression was not right: "What happened?"

Fu Yanwei looked left and right, then pointed to a locust tree not far away: "Little Wan, I have something to ask you; let us go over there to talk."
