Chapter 478: Trouble of Canned Fruit (II)

Old Madam Han was a bit embarrassed. Even though Zhai Muchen brought canned fruit to the hospital, she had a feeling that the man had brought it for someone else. When she saw Han Yong chewing the peach, she had no idea what kind of expression she should make. Earlier, she was thinking about returning these things to Zhai Muchen, but now that the can had been opened, it could no longer be returned. Oh well. She would tell her what happened to Han Ruochen and then give her some things to make up for it.

Their family and the Zhai family were two different families, and they could not afford to owe anything to them.

Even if the Zhai family was full of kind people, Old Madam Han did not want to take advantage of them, lest everyone start calling Han Ruochen a sucker who took advantage of her identity as Zhai Heng’s saviour. A girl’s reputation was really important. Even if Han Ruochen did not seem inclined toward getting married, Old Madam Han knew that as a woman she would have to get married sooner or later.

She could not let anything ruin Han Ruochen’s reputation ever again.

However, what she did not expect was that something even more embarrassing was waiting for her.

Han Zihan, who was lying on the bed next to Han Yong, smelled the scent of canned fruit coming from beside her, and her stomach started to rumble. The canned peach smelled really good, and her appetite started to increase. She turned to look at Han Jianyou and licked her lips before saying shamelessly, "Jianyou, I am also a patient. Don’t give all the canned peaches to big brother. Share some with me. Anyway, he cannot eat all the canned peaches on his own."

What’s more, she was pregnant now! She should at least get something good to eat, right?

As soon as she finished speaking, the ward turned silent. Han Yong, who was chewing the peach, paused and turned to look at the person beside him. He had no idea what to say at that moment. He slowly stopped chewing the piece of peach in his mouth. With the good things that Han Ziyan had said, he had no idea whether to continue eating the peaches or stop. He could only do some slow chewing while looking at Han Ziyan.

"There are no other cans of canned fruit." Han Jianyou was also startled when he suddenly heard Han Ziyan’s request. He looked at the bag and had a feeling that this matter was going to escalate. He turned to look at Old Madam Han, and when he saw her looking at him with a stern gaze, he knew that he had caused trouble. He lowered his gaze at once.

Han Ziyan, on the other hand, turned, stunned. When she requested some peaches, she thought that it was a simple thing and no one would refuse her. But who would have thought that they would actually say that there were no canned fruits? If there were no canned fruits, then he should give her the one that he was holding!

"Mom!" She looked at her mother with anticipation.

Meng Yunhan turned to look at Han Yong and Han Jianyou; her face was twisted with anger. She thought that since the two of them were Han Ziyan’s brothers, they would at least be polite and send a few pieces of peach to her. But who knew that Han Jianyou and Han Yong wouldn’t even look at the two of them from beginning to end?

Meng Yunhan was someone who wanted face in front of others. She could not demand the peaches in front of the people who came to see patients.

When Han Ziyan saw that her mother was not speaking, she could only grit her teeth and said in a low voice, "Mom, can you at least buy something for me? I am hungry." She could not eat the meat buns that this family brought with them, and since the canned fruit was out of options, she could only turn to her mother in hope.

Meng Yunhan’s teeth were about to break from clenching hard. If she had known that her children would go against her in such a manner, she would have drowned them in a water vat as soon as they were born. However, she was not foolish enough to demand that Han Jianyou hand over the canned fruits. She nodded and said, "It’s just a can of preserved fruits. I can always buy you some." Though she said that, her heart was bleeding. A can of preserved peaches would cost her more than six yuan. It was a big expense for someone who was now relying on just a salary of thirty yuan.

But she dared not say that she had no money in her hands. It was a matter of her face!

When Old Madam Han heard her words, she felt her face burning. She turned to look at Han Ziyan and Meng Yunhan with a glare. These two! They really knew how to embarrass her.

"I apologise." Old Madam Han turned her gaze away from Han Ziyan and looked at Zhai Muchen with a hint of embarrassment.

Meng Yunhan was stunned when she heard Old Madam Han apologising. What was the reason to apologise now? What did she even do?

She glared at Old Madam Han with a hint of resentment, but then she thought about how her precious daughter was hungry; she put away her unnecessary thoughts. She hurried out of the ward in search of canned fruit, without knowing that the can that Zhai Muchen brought was from the capital.

Zhai Muchen was aware of Meng Yunhan’s personality, so he did not bother with her; he nodded and accepted. "It’s nothing." He paused and then added, "Grandma Han, I will leave my card with you. If you hear any information about Ruochen’s return, please let me know."

Sure enough! This boy was interested in her granddaughter. Old Madam Han already knew that Zhai Muchen had some hidden intentions when he came to look for her and now that she heard it from him loud and clear, she could not help but panic.
