Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me

“Uncle, will my appearance be ruined?”

“It’s just a bump on the forehead, and it will disappear in two days. How can your appearance be ruined?”

“I’m not talking about my forehead. I’m talking about my knee!”

“So your appearance is about your knees?”

“But it won’t look good if I have scars on my knees, right? How do you want me to wear skirts in the future?”

“Then wear trousers…”

“I always wear skirts in summer, but you’ve taken half of my beauty away from me! You have to take responsibility!”

“Get lost. You fell down yourself, why do I need to take responsibility? Besides, for this kind of minor wound, the doctor will at most disinfect them with rubbing alcohol, and then put on a bandage. Now get in!”

“I want you to carry me inside.”

“Do you want more people to laugh at you? Wasn’t Wan’er holding you?”

“Tsk, so cold-hearted! But I want to make it clear first. If it’s a male doctor, I won’t let him touch me!”

I was speechless…

“Are you done with talking?”

“Alright, alright, we’re going in. But don’t go anywhere, you have to take me home later.”

Xiao Yike finally walked into the doctor’s office with Yao Wan’er’s help. Yao Wan’er’s knee was also scratched a little, so they could see the doctor at the same time. It might take them a while to come out.

Seeing that the people waiting to see the doctor next were laughing at me, my face blushed with embarrassment. So despite Minx asking me not to go anywhere, I still left the waiting area.

I had a keen sense of smell, so I was very sensitive to peculiar smells. The smell of disinfectant gave me a headache and even a feeling of being unable to breathe. This was almost the same as Yao Wan’er’s reaction when seeing the blood, and it was all psychological effects.

I disliked hospitals, so even if my leg was wounded by a gunshot, I still didn’t want to stay in a space filled with such a smell. Because It would evoke my guilty memories. The incident of Chu Yuan’s hospitalization in the past had left a psychological shadow on me…

Thinking of this, I felt very annoyed. Chu Yuan’s hospitalization had something to do with Ziyuan. And now, Ziyuan was back…

How to deal with the relationship between the two was a difficult problem for me, and the difficulties that Ziyuan concealed from me as well as her relationship with the Third Lady also gave me a big headache…

I didn’t know how to smoke, but I walked to the convenience store outside the hospital without knowing it. When I came to my senses, I realized that I was looking at the Tobacco counter in a daze. I couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. Ancient people would drink away their worries, but people nowadays had not only inherited the traditions of that time, but also learned to smoke to relieve their troubled minds. The sad thing was, I was not good at either of those things…

“Miss, a pack of cigarettes, please.”

The sound next to me startled me at this moment. It was quite familiar to me. I subconsciously turned my head to take a look…

White culottes, black high-heeled shoes with gold trim, dark green lady cardigan blouse, it was an elegant and luxurious outfit, but the person who was dressed in this outfit had dark and rough skin… When my gaze moved up to the person’s face, I almost blurted out in shock. It was Shu Tong’s mother.

We were almost standing shoulder to shoulder. But she seemed anxious and absent-minded. She just stared at the clerk and didn’t seem to recognize me.

. . .

Didn’t she say that she was going to meet with the contractor named Li Gazi with Shu Tong’s father today? Was their meeting place around here? I was a little puzzled. After getting the cigarette from the clerk, Shu Tong’s mother left the store hurriedly.

She seemed to be worried about something that she didn’t notice that I was next to her the whole time. This made me even more puzzled. I left the convenience store without buying anything and decided to follow Shu Tong’s mother to find out what happened. But as soon as I came out of the store, I noticed that Shu Tong’s mother was heading toward the hospital. I couldn’t help but frown when seeing this.

Why did Shu Tong’s mother come to the hospital? Was it because Shu Tong’s Grandma was not well? I knew that Shu Tong’s mother didn’t smoke, so the cigarette she bought was most likely for her husband. Since she would buy cigarettes for her husband, it meant that it was unlikely to be her husband’s problem. In this way, there was only one person left, and that was Shu Tong’s grandma.

Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel very worried.

There were a lot of people waiting for the elevator. Mother Shu didn’t seem to want to wait for the elevator in the queue. She trotted all the way to the stairs. Those who lived in villages really had good physical strength. Mother Shu rushed to the sixth floor without stopping, and she didn’t seem to be tired at all. But I was completely exhausted after climbing up to the sixth floor. However, seeing the clinic where Mother Shu walked into, I didn’t even have the mood to relax anymore. It was the Department of Oncology…

There were a lot of people in the waiting area. Mother Shu found Father Shu, and then the two of them walked towards me together. I quickly turned around, pretending to be a passerby in the hospital, and continued to climb stairs until I saw them walk down to the landing area between the fifth floor and the sixth floor. I squatted down on the landing area one level above them, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Father Shu’s face was gloomy, his thick eyebrows pressed closely together. He silently stuffed the big paper bag that seemed to contain the medical record in his hand to Mother Shu and then leaned against the window to open the cigarette that Mother Shu had handed him. Only after he lit up the cigarette, did Mother Shu ask nervously, “What… what did the doctor say?”

Hearing this question, Father Shu suddenly roared in anger, like a powder keg being ignited, “What else can he possibly say?!”

Not just Mother Shu, I was also taken aback by his roar. Father Shu always looked like a shy and honest person. I didn’t expect that he would have such a scary side. A man and a woman who had just passed by them almost fell down the stairs in horror because of his roar.

Mother Shu was startled at first, and then also shouted back at Father Shu, “Why are you shouting at me? Do you think you are the only one who doesn’t want this to happen? Do you think that I am happy about this?!” Before she finished speaking, her eyes already teared up.

The ominous feeling in my heart suddenly became stronger…

Father Shu looked at Mother Shu, sighed weakly, and then comforted Mother Shu, “I’m sorry. Let’s stop arguing lest mom will see it, and she will be anxious again.” His tone had returned to normal.

Mother Shu reluctantly grumbled, “You think I want to argue with you…”

Father Shu was familiar with his wife’s character. He gave a bitter smile and sigh again, the sadness on his face became even heavier, “Like the doctor in the county said, it’s terminal cancer. Mom, she, she has only 3 to 6 months to live at most…”

Father Shu couldn’t go on. But his words were like thunderclaps in my ear. He pressed his mouth hard to hold himself back from crying, but even with his face up, he couldn’t stop the tears from overflowing his eyes.

I was stunned. Although I could tell that Grandma Shu was not in good health, I still didn’t expect that it would be this bad…

“Why are you crying?” Mother Shu forced herself to smile. Not only was she trying to comfort Father Shu, but she also tried to use such optimism to convince herself, “What about the operation? Didn’t the doctor in the county say that if we go to a big hospital in a big city for surgery, there is a possibility that it can be cured…”

“What he said was, if there is still a possibility of surgical treatment…” Father Shu wiped his tears and sighed, “But the combined cost of chemotherapy and surgery is not something a family like ours can afford…”

Before Father Shu could finish, Mother Shu said, “But Tong Tong has money!”

“Who said she has money?” Father Shu frowned, “She only became a teacher last year. Her salary is not high but she still gave more than half of it to us. She didn’t tell us everything because she didn’t want us to worry about it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be living with your niece now. Do you not understand this? She knows that grandma is not in good health and has to spend a lot of money on medicine. She is trying her best to save as much money as possible for us…”
