Chapter 25: Go to the Hospital

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“To be honest, this child is Tang Ye.”

“Back then, these two people chose to adopt Ahye for the sake of my parents-in-law’s pension. In just half a year, they abused him in all kinds of ways and even chased him out of the house on the eve of the Chinese New Year, causing him to almost freeze to death in the icy wilderness. My father arrived in the nick of time and Tang Ye survived.”

“I was young at the time, but I still remember that after he came to my home, he had a high fever and was unconscious for several days before finally waking up. However, these two people never once came to check on him. Now, they come running to ask Tang Ye for financial support. Do you think that’s fair?” Chen Lan spoke slowly.

Huang Yu lowered his head in contemplation. He only knew that Tang Ye was orphaned, but he had no idea about the extent of his hardships. He couldn’t help but feel sympathy.

“Furthermore, today when these two people came to the military family compound to cause a scene, I asked them for their account books and medical records. As long as they provide me with those documents, I will reimburse them for the expenses incurred during Ahye’s stay with them for that half year, as well as her recent medical expenses. But this man tried to attack me. Ahye stepped in to protect me in a moment of anger, and this person was pushed away. Yet, he shamelessly went ahead to complain that Tang Ye assaulted him first. Everyone in the military family compound witnessed this incident,” Chen Lan added.

Chen Lan finished her explanation, and Xiu Lian immediately chimed in, “That’s right, Chief. I was there too, and nobody laid a finger on them.”

Listening to what these people were saying, Tang Fu’s face turned red, “You’re all in cahoots! You say whatever you want, but I don’t care. He’s my nephew, and he has to support me in my old age.”

The secretary already had a negative impression of Tang Fu, and hearing about Tang Ye’s ordeal only worsened his opinion of him. Seeing Tang Fu behaving shamelessly on the ground, he wished he could get up and kick him a few times.

“Tang Fu, our military also upholds the law. You’ve only taken care of Tang Ye for half a year. How much did you spend? I can intermediate and have him give you that amount, but the obligation of financial support should not fall on Tang Ye. I believe you also have children of your own. Why don’t you go ask them for support?”

Huang Yu now understood that these two people had come to pressure Tang Ye for money, so he was relieved. Tang Ye was one of the most outstanding young men he had encountered in recent years, and he couldn’t bear to see any harm come to him.

“You’re just biased toward him! You military people stick together and bully a humble farmer like me!” Tang Fu couldn’t accept the outcome. He sprang up from the ground, pointed his finger at Huang Yu, and shouted.

“How dare you! Do you know that what you’re doing now is against the law? Insulting the soldiers, insulting the military. I can have you arrested right now.” The secretary, who had been frustrated for a while, finally found a reason to explode and shouted at Tang Fu.

Military personnel naturally exuded a strong presence, and Tang Fu was so frightened that he plopped down onto the ground.

“Chief, Ahye isn’t heartless. Since his uncle mentioned that his aunt is ill, we’re willing to take her to the hospital for a check-up. If she indeed has any illness, we’re willing to pay for her treatment.” Now that Chen Lan had created the atmosphere, she stepped forward with her suggestion.

She couldn’t allow Tang Ye to bear the label of being ungrateful. By voluntarily taking Xu Cui to the hospital, if word got out, others would praise Tang Ye for being benevolent.

Huang Yu looked at Chen Lan, his gaze containing a hint of scrutiny. He hadn’t expected Tang Ye’s wife to be so savvy about social matters. Even if they didn’t suggest it, in the end, he would still ask the couple to provide some financial assistance, given that this involved Tang Ye’s reputation.

However, now that Chen Lan had made this proposal, Huang Yu decided to stop worrying.

But Xu Cui knew she wasn’t sick and was reluctant to go to the hospital. “No need, I’ve already checked. Going to the hospital for another check-up would be a waste of money. Just give me the money for the treatment.”

“That won’t do, Aunt. Do you know, the doctors at our military district hospital are among the top in the country? Your condition might be treated right away.” Xiu Lian saw Xu Cui’s reluctance and hurriedly spoke.

Huang Yu didn’t give Tang Fu and Xu Cui a chance to refuse. “Song Lian, and Du Jiang, you two accompany them to the hospital for an examination. Let’s find out what the illness is.”

Song Lian and Du Jiang agreed and drove a car from the military district to the military hospital in the county.
