The phone rang at the hospital entrance.
Xu Xiaoya answered while walking: "... Sister Xu, the money has been fully processed according to your instructions and transferred to Sister Yan’s account..."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
She hung up the phone as she entered the elevator.
Tomorrow is the day Xu’s father undergoes surgery, and everything must be handled today, so she specifically came half a day early.
At the entrance, she stopped, the door was ajar.
She was about to push the door open, but instinctively stepped back and quietly listened against the corridor wall.
It was her sister-in-law’s voice.
"Mom, the house has been sold, all the money is in the bank book, look after it, don’t say we’re unfilial later on. I consider myself better than most daughters-in-law, selling my own house to save father-in-law, who else would do that?..."
"..."
"Mom, it’s not that I’m pointing fingers, but who forces their son to sell the house like this? You’ve been bewitched by Xu Xiaoya. She’s no longer the Xu Xiaoya she used to be, she’s become selfish, cunning, and harsh, this is her way to draw money from her family’s pockets, yet she’s not paying a dime..."
"I’ve already said, the surgery costs will be split equally between me and her."
Xu’s mother stammered: "Let’s use the money from selling the house."
The sister-in-law sneered: "What did you and Dad say before? This house clearly belonged to your two grandsons long ago, isn’t the money we contributed? We contribute half, Xu Xiaoya contributes half, isn’t that fair? Did you only raise a son and not a daughter? Did the daughter grow up drinking the wind? She doesn’t need to fulfill her obligations now?"
Xu’s mother hesitated: "The amount seems a bit off?"
"What’s wrong with it?"
"You said it was sold for 400,000, why is there only 100,000 here?"
"Mom, don’t you understand? Your two grandsons are a lower generation, shouldn’t they leave aside some living expenses first?"
"What about the other 100,000?"
"We found out the surgery costs around 200,000 altogether, we must split it equally with Xu Xiaoya."
Xu’s mother was anxious: "That’s not right, Xiaoya already advanced over 100,000, and she’s been the one taking care of your dad all this time. If it weren’t for her, your dad wouldn’t be able to stay in this private room, you should know this room isn’t cheap, and it’s all paid by Xiaoya..."
"She advanced payment, didn’t we? We also paid quite a bit..."
"You only paid over 30,000..."
"Mom, saying this is unfair. For over a decade, Xu Xiaoya has been working outside, never at home, you and Dad were all looked after by us, doesn’t this incur labor costs? She didn’t put in effort, so shouldn’t she pay more? Think about how much it costs for a decade of care? Hiring a nanny costs three to five thousand a month, add it up, it’s a difference of 300,000 to 400,000..."
"Back then your dad was in good health, what did you take care of?"
"We were at home accompanying him, doesn’t that count?"
Xu’s mother was about to say something, but the two children, instructed by their mother, started shouting: "Grandpa..."
"Grandpa..."
Xu’s father was weak, but hearing the children’s calls made his eyes light up.
The eldest grandson sweetly said: "Grandpa, we’re so poor now, we don’t even have money for school meals... Please pity us, our classmates make fun of us for being poor..."
