I had just used 50% of my strength when my mother-in-law groaned and opened her eyes to glare at me fiercely. I dialed 120 again: My old man suddenly fainted! My buddy took emergency measures and it worked; My buddy called an ambulance in time, don't try to use this as an excuse to blackmail me. Jiang Xiaoli accompanied her mother to the hospital. The next day, after sending my son to school, I came to the hospital to show my presence. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a man's voice inside, indignant: "He is rebellious. How dare he treat the elderly like this? I must deal with him!" "You don't have to get angry, as long as he takes the dowry obediently!" My mother-in-law's words were so tender that I almost got goose bumps all over the floor. I pushed the door open. The internal medicine ward is always very tense. My mother-in-law lives in a triple room. With three patients and their respective caregivers, six or seven pairs of eyes in the room were all looking at me. "Brother Wang is here to see my mother!" Without waiting for the man to speak, I put down the fruit in my hand and greeted the man who was holding my mother-in-law's hand and rubbing it at the head of the bed with a smile on my face. Without waiting for his answer, I greeted my mother-in-law again: "Mom, are you feeling better?" "Big sister, one of these is a son and the other is a son-in-law, right? You are so lucky, your daughter, son, and son-in-law are all filial." The old lady in the next bed was deaf and blind, but she was the most gossipy type, and she talked to my mother-in-law with a strong desire for knowledge. The son-in-law is easy to talk about, but who is the son? The mother-in-law stammered. Jiang Xiaoli hid away to create an opportunity for her mother and her young boyfriend to be alone. No matter how thick-skinned the two were, they dared not show their relationship in front of the patients in the same room. Judging from the age and intimacy of the two, it is not inappropriate to say that they are a mother-son relationship. I stood up to "correct" her: "Auntie, you are shortsighted. This is my mother-in-law's boyfriend, Brother Wang." I deliberately emphasized the word "Brother Wang" and said, "When they get married, I will have to call him Uncle Wang." I added in a shocking way. Everyone in the room was petrified in an instant. Only the warm eye contact between each other showed that the sparks in each other's hearts were crackling. Compared with my 500,000 yuan, the two of you are as shameless as rags. "By the way, Brother Wang, my mother said that you are going to let me take 500,000 as a dowry when you get married? I have to redeem the hundreds of thousands of funds in the bank and prepare them. I am probably still a few hundred thousand short. But don't worry, I didn't make it to my mother-in-law's first wedding, so I will definitely make this second life event a beautiful one for her."
My mother-in-law, whose face was red and white, became energetic. She ignored the ridicule and teasing in the eyes of her fellow patients and their families, and rolled her eyes at me, saying "You're smart!" "That's better! Your uncle Wang said that asking you to take the dowry is just a formality. When we get married in the future, everything in the house will be yours!" "Mom, please don't say that. My father-in-law has been dead for almost two months. Your remarriage is a big deal. I thought about it all night yesterday. As a son-in-law who married into the family, there is nothing wrong with me taking the dowry! This is not for what you and Brother Wang will leave for us after a hundred years. Brother Wang is only two years older than me, and his body is stronger than mine." When they heard that I was willing to pay the dowry, the eyes of the illicit couple were full of surprise, and they didn't care about the sarcastic remarks in my words. "But there is one thing I want to ask: you and my mother want me to pay 500,000 as a dowry. How much do you plan to pay as a gift?" My words were like a thunderbolt, and the faces of the two people who were holding hands and looking at each other changed color instantly. Jiang Xiaoli pushed the door open and came in: "Mr. Hu, what nonsense are you talking about? When is it your turn to talk about my mother's affairs?" I didn't get angry but laughed: "Wife, look at what you said. I paid for our mother's dowry, can't I ask about Brother Wang's gift? Even if it's just a formality, you can't just talk about the dowry and not the gift, right?" I turned to the patients and their families in the other two beds who were listening attentively: "Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, don't you agree?" "That makes sense!" "That's right!" "That's right!" ... The fire of gossip was burning in everyone's eyes. One of the sisters was recording us quietly with her mobile phone, and she was making jokes: "Little brother, why are you calling me mom and brother so awkward?" I was "accepting the interview" with a serious face: "Brother Wang was my father-in-law's most proud student. He had a very good relationship with my mother when he was alive. My father-in-law passed away, and my wife and I hope that they can finally get married..." "What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Xiaoli pointed at me with her finger, and she wanted to pounce on me and bite me: "You... don't you know that family disgrace should not be made public?" Everyone winked at each other with rich expressions. I acted puzzled: "What you said is getting more and more outrageous! Why are we young people allowed to fall in love, but it's a family disgrace for the elderly to find a young partner?" My mother-in-law habitually covered her chest with her hands: "You, you're making me so angry!"
