Chapter 276 Bullying
Song Moting quickly returned with a simple breakfast of soy milk and fried dough sticks. In this era, Jiang Xiaoxiao wondered where Song Moting managed to get such things.
It's impossible to find on the street.
No, wait! There is!
State-owned restaurants are still in business.
But Wu Fei couldn't eat.
A patient who just had surgery can't eat such greasy food, especially since she's just passed gas.
At most, Wu Fei could drink some water now. If she can eat later, it would be something like millet porridge or rice porridge.
Liquid food is most suitable for her recovery.
Smelling the aroma of food, Wu Fei turned her head and lay quietly on the bed without saying a word.
Song Moting wiped the soy milk stain from Jiang Xiaoxiao's mouth, "Eat slowly, don't rush. I just brought breakfast to He Aiguo, and Jia Shu is already awake. He Aiguo has helped her washed up. I bought Jia Shu some millet porridge; chicken soup will take too long.
After you see Jia Shu, just go back to Brother Jin's place and sleep well. Then stew the chicken soup and bring it to them. I told Aiguo there was a bit of trouble here. He will take care of Jia Shu during the day.
He's quite happy; I can tell Aiguo likes Jia Shu, right? But Jia Shu is recovering well, with no injuries, just malnutrition. It's better to inquire with the doctor. If she can be discharged today, it's better to go home and recover there than stay in the hospital."
The main thing is that this couple now has one more person to care for, and it's a bit overwhelming. He doesn't want to tire out his wife.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't sleep last night, exhausting herself half the night. Then she came here and kept vigil outside the operating room all the way till now. When he came back earlier, he saw his wife supporting Wu Fei to walk slowly.
Song Moting was terribly heartbroken.
If it weren't for the circumstances, Song Moting would never let Jiang Xiaoxiao be so exhausted.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, handing half a dough stick to Song Moting.
"I can't finish it; you eat this. I have to hurry to see Jia Shu. By the way, Wu Fei has passed gas, so she should be able to drink some water. You should feed her a bit of water later. As for food, we'll wait until noon when I bring the chicken soup, then cook some millet porridge for her. These foods aren't suitable for patients right now.
By the way, when are her parents arriving?"
Song Moting took a bite of the dough stick from Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand, finishing it off, never minding it as it's from his own wife.
"I know, you don't need to rush. Rest more when you go back. Wu Fei's parents said they'd book a plane ticket immediately, but I estimate they'll arrive at the earliest tomorrow or the day after. After all, there's no airport in this small town. They can only fly to the provincial city and then transfer here, which would take at least a day.
Besides, if I remember correctly, even their provincial city doesn't have an airport."
Wu Fei's parents are attending an academic exchange at a hospital in Hai City. Unexpectedly, their daughter encountered this situation, so they took a plane first to Jingbei, then transferred directly here from Jingbei.
Considering all that, it would take at least three days, which is already pretty quick.
Wu Fei, with her ears perked, snorted coldly upon hearing this.
She has to endure Jiang Xiaoxiao's temper for another three days.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "I'll leave this to you then. I'll go see Jia Shu first and then head back."
Song Moting squeezed her hand and nodded.
Jiang Xiaoxiao went upstairs.
Song Moting was there cleaning up the lunch boxes, and after washing up, he returned as Wu Fei had to get her IV drip.
Aside from pouring water for Wu Fei twice, Song Moting basically had no interaction with Wu Fei.
After all, he and Wu Fei just had a nodding acquaintance.
The two didn't have much interaction. He knew Wu Fei only because she liked Jin Dachuan very much.
Although the two families lived in the same compound, they were considered enemies for generations.
It was said his grandma and Wu Fei's grandma were close friends, but for some unknown reason, the families had a falling out and ultimately cut ties.
It's not just cutting ties, they wouldn't even talk when they met.
And though both families were in the medical system, they were quite distant in terms of connections.
Since a young age, he knew he wouldn't hold a good face towards the Wu family members.
If it wasn't for this situation, he wouldn't have contacted the Wu family. If his own grandma found out, she'd probably break his leg.
Wu Fei looked at Song Moting's stone-cold face.
"If you're really uncomfortable seeing me, you can leave, I can manage alone."
She knew well what was going on between the families.
But being with Song Moting, the atmosphere was too awkward; it was better with Jiang Xiaoxiao.
At least she could banter with Jiang Xiaoxiao. The issue was that Song Moting didn't say a word to her, even wanting to banter didn't give her a chance.
This man was clearly gentle and easygoing towards Jiang Xiaoxiao but was as cold as ice with her, like a steel wall.
No expressions, and not speaking.
She's not confronting a robot here, and Song Moting is quite inconvenient in taking care of her.
For instance, she wants to go to the bathroom but can't let Song Moting help her there.
She's feeling regretful now; had she known, she wouldn't have antagonized Jiang Xiaoxiao like that.
At least keeping Jiang Xiaoxiao here would be less awkward than this.
"No matter what, we are comrades, it's not like leaving you to die. Although our families have disputes, it hasn't reached a kill-or-be-killed level."
Song Moting was matter-of-fact.
If he weren't here to watch over, it would be either Brother Jin or his wife, whom he couldn't bear seeing struggle here.
"Since it's not kill-or-be-killed, yet you're glaring at me, look at yourself, not saying a word, you're like a block of ice. Are you caring for a patient or looking after a corpse?"
Wu Fei felt aggrieved by Song Moting's attitude towards her.
Song Moting glared, "Do you think I want to take care of you? If it wasn't for absolutely no one, do you think with our relation, I'd come here to care for you? People shouldn't be ungrateful; I'm not your family, nor am I anything to you, caring for you is already a kindness.
If you have so many demands, wait until your parents arrive and then bring them up. I'm not your dad or mom, not required to pamper you. My own wife has been running errands for you, I'm too worried for her to consider others."
Unrestrained banter.
Wu Fei was so furious her face turned green, and her belly hurt even more, were they deliberately being mean?
While normally not this way with others, he didn't actually have any friendship with Wu Fei.
Had it been someone ordinary, he probably wouldn't have such an attitude, but Wu Fei, given their family animosity, he was never fond of.
He's simply not tolerating Wu Fei.
Wu Fei angrily turned away, pulling at her wound, tears started streaming again.
Wasn't Song Moting and his wife just here to bully her?
