Chapter 685: The Song Family's Hospital
A few days later, Old Song notified the children to come for dinner, since they had moved to a new home, the children should know about it.
Old Song and Old Mrs. Song were extremely satisfied with the new home.
Altogether, there were nearly 20 rooms.
This was a two-courtyard house, with the front courtyard's main house made into a living room to entertain guests, and a side room turned into a study for Old Song.
Old Song usually practiced calligraphy and painting, and now he finally had a place for it.
The security guard team lived in the front yard near the gate.
Since there was a dedicated guard's room there.
The aunt stayed with Old Song and Old Mrs. Song in the back courtyard.
Of course, besides Old Song and Old Mrs. Song, they prepared several rooms, specifically for Jiang Xiaoxiao, Song Moting, and Tang Yuan, and guest rooms for the sons and daughters-in-law.
After all, during the New Year and other festivals, the whole family had to come back.
Previously, the house couldn't accommodate everyone, but this time anyone could come without issue.
The three brothers knew Old Song had moved, so they brought their families to visit lively and bustling.
The three of them saw Old Song's courtyard and envied living in such a place, in such a quadrangle dwelling. It's really comfy, the maintenance of Old Song's courtyard was evidently great.
Especially since there were three jujube trees and three pomegranate trees planted in the yard.
Old Mrs. Song's flowers and plants, which used to be on the drying platform, now had their place.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting came in with Tang Yuan, quickly greeting everyone as Jiang Xiaoxiao's belly had grown large, and she was about to give birth.
Old Mrs. Song, upon seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao's belly, quickly urged her to sit down.
"Since you're here, don't move around. From today, stay here. In case you give birth, with grandpa and grandma at home, there are people to care for you. How can you manage alone?"
It's not that Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao didn't care for Jiang Xiaoxiao, but Jiang Xiaoxiao liked her own independent space and privacy, so Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting lived in the separate courtyard Fan Xiuying bought for them.
Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao often visited them, but no matter how frequently they visited, it's not the same as having someone by her side.
Old Mrs. Song worried most about Jiang Xiaoxiao. If she suddenly went into labor without anyone nearby, even going to the hospital would be inconvenient.
Importantly, Jiang Xiaoxiao's place is far from the hospital, unlike this quadrangle which is close to Jiang Xiaoxiao's hospital.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's hospital is the best known for obstetrics and gynecology, giving birth there is convenient, just a step away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, "Grandma, it's not inconvenient. Many people work right up until childbirth. I'm very healthy, no problems. You see, I'm lively and well."
Jiang Xiaoxiao worried about Old Song and Old Mrs. Song getting busy over her. They've gotten older, and this move already wore them out.
Though Old Song and Old Mrs. Song didn't do much physically, yet were still so exhausted, let alone keeping busy.
If she moved over, daily care would fall on Old Song and Old Mrs. Song.
Old Mrs. Song was about to say something when Song Qinghe came in holding Nan Nan.
"Mom, Nan Nan wet his pants, do you have any pants here to change him into?"
It was his first time taking care of the child as a grandfather, and he was somewhat clumsy.
Nan Nan cried sadly, a three-year-old child.
Sometimes accidents happened, which hurt his self-esteem.
Tang Yuan could completely control his needs now, especially with his brother Baozi around.
Trying to show he's becoming a little man, Tang Yuan had long stopped wetting his bed or pants.
Old Mrs. Song took the child to find clothes.
"Come, there should be Tang Yuan's pants in that room, wear his brother's pants for now."
Tang Yuan was a few days older than Nan Nan, still an older brother.
Song Qinghe sat down and looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao.
He didn't have much to say with the daughters-in-law, but suddenly remembered something.
"Xiaoxiao, I heard your hospital is doing well. I have an old superior whose daughter is over three months pregnant, wants to go to your hospital for a checkup, but can't get in line, maybe you could arrange something."
This was an order.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't intend to defy Song Qinghe's request.
The problem was, her hospital was currently too busy. Famous doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology departments brought many people here, willing to pay even high fees for admission.
But overcrowding was not a good thing.
The hospital had limited capacity, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't create more rooms.
Now, entering had become a matter of connections, even requiring waiting or a lottery.
Even then, many couldn't get in.
Song Qinghe asking her to arrange it felt displeasing due to his authoritative tone.
"Dad, I'll call Director Wu later to see if she can help queue up."
Mrs. Wu was nominally the hospital director.
It's also indirectly warning Song Qinghe that Jiang Xiaoxiao was not the one in control.
Mrs. Song walked in and heard this, nonchalantly.
"Xiaoxiao, why bother calling? Isn't the hospital part of the Song family? Just a word from you solves it. Your father's old superior helped him a lot with his promotion.
We're family, don't hold back resources from our family."
Mrs. Song felt dissatisfaction with this daughter-in-law.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting took away much of the love meant for her son. Without the elders' support, it wouldn't be so easy for Jiang Xiaoxiao to open such a hospital.
That's why the equipment was so advanced, the decor so luxurious, and many famous doctors hired.
This showed Old Song and Old Mrs. Song must have backed financially, those equipment not affordable for just anyone.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting were still students, how could they earn so much for a hospital?
Mrs. Song thought since the elders funded it, the hospital should belong to the Song family.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting shouldn't get all benefits while the Song family gets none.
As part of the Song family, the blessings should be shared.
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "Auntie, the hospital doesn't belong to the Song family. Every hospital follows its rules. They can accept patients if possible, if not, there's no choice.
If she wants to check here, she should wait in line. I can speak for her but can't decide for the doctors."
Since when must her hospital be part of the Song family?
