These words were so powerful that Xu Daqiao's eyes turned red. He waved his hands, turned his eyes away and choked up, "Dad is narrow-minded, but... Yansang is my only daughter, the only person in the world that I am worried about, don't blame Dad."

Fu Zhen smiled, "Dad, I understand."

The Xu family is not like him, with countless wealth. Xu Daqiao worked hard all his life, and the money he saved might not be enough for him to buy a watch, but that is half the life of an ordinary person. Xu Daqiao was worried that he would embezzle the money, so he insisted on asking him for a promise. He did not feel insulted, but was very happy that there was someone in the world who loved Xu Yansang so selflessly.

At the same time, in Xu Daqiao's old building, Xia Junan and Xia Yanfang had a fierce quarrel.

Xia Yanfang pointed at Xia Junan's head and said sternly, "I'll say it again, you don't need to go there. Their biological daughter is there, why would you, a stepson, show up? Go to school, do you hear me?!"

Xia Junan was wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack. He was standing there tall and thin. In his hand was a lunch box, which contained chicken soup that he had cooked for Xu Daqiao since he got the news last night.

Facing his mother's anger, he did not back down and tried to reason with her, "Mom, Uncle Xu treats me very well. I can go to school. What I eat, drink, and use, which one is not paid for by Uncle Xu? He is going to have surgery, I will go over to see if there is anything wrong. Do you really want me to be an ungrateful person? Not only should I go over, you should also go over and watch over him!"

Xia Yanfang was completely helpless with her son. She said angrily, "I take care of him, a paralytic. Isn't it his responsibility to give me money? Isn't it his responsibility to support you? Don't be crazy! You are a senior in high school now. Studying is much more important than that paralytic!"

"Sister Yansang said that academic performance does not represent everything. If a person does not even have the most basic conscience, it is useless no matter how well he studies. Besides, I have not fallen behind in my studies!" Xia Junan retorted.

Xia Yanfang smashed the water cup in anger, "Sister Yansang, Sister Yansang, when did you get so close to that little bitch? She tied me to this old man and wanted to harm you! Stay away from her in the future, do you hear me?"

Xia Junan said nothing, turned around, got a broom and swept up the debris on the ground and dumped it into the trash can.

Then he looked at Xia Yanfang and said word by word, "Mom, you were the one who asked for Uncle Xu's help. She asked you to take care of Uncle Xu and gave you 15,000 yuan a month. You spent as much as you embezzled. Do you really think she doesn't know? She just saved your face. You wanted the money, and she wanted you to take care of Uncle Xu. If you don't go to Uncle Xu's surgery today, do you think she will be at ease leaving Uncle Xu to you in the future?"

Seeing Xia Yanfang's stunned expression, Xia Jun'an curled the corners of his mouth in sarcasm. His mother would only listen to him when it concerned her own interests.

He looked at Xia Yanfang and said word by word, "Mom, she's not stupid. If you don't go today, she will definitely not let you continue to take care of Uncle Xu. Do you have a better way out by then? If you take good care of Uncle Xu, you will get money and everyone will be happy. What's wrong with that? If I were you, I wouldn't curse Uncle Xu to death, because if Uncle Xu died, you would have no money and be kicked out."

Xia Yanfang replied subconsciously, "How could they kick me out? Xu Daqiao and I are married and have obtained a marriage certificate. I have a share of his property!"

Xia Junan laughed at her simple-mindedness, "What kind of relationship do you have with them that they gave you half of their property? You are too lazy to even do the superficial work of selfless dedication. Property can be made into a will. If you want to share someone's money, you must at least make an equal contribution. Do you really think that others are so stupid that you can just hold on to a marriage certificate?"

He didn't want to waste words with Xia Yanfang anymore, so he just said one last sentence, "Mom, conscience can be exchanged for conscience. Uncle Xu and Sister Yansang are both kind people. If you treat them well, they won't treat you unfairly. If you continue like this, you will have a hard time. If Uncle Xu's leg is healed, how many days can he tolerate you?"

After he said this, he turned and left.

This was the only thing he could do. He lost his father very early, and his mother was a person of such a character. He felt the long-lost family love from Uncle Xu and Sister Yansang, and he didn't want to lose this family love.

He hoped his mother could listen to him. If she didn't, perhaps after this operation, he would really have no home.

In the room, Xia Yanfang pondered Xia Junan's words, and the more she pondered, the more frightened she became. Yes, when Xu Yansang just got divorced, she had no money and no connections, and couldn't find a good nurse, so she signed a contract with herself. She was about to divorce Xu Daqiao, but she stayed because of the contract.

Logically speaking, she was equivalent to the caregiver hired by Xu Yansang, and her most important job was to take care of Xu Daqiao. However, in the past six months, except for being enthusiastic when taking the money, she didn't even show a good face to them father and daughter at other times.

If Xu Daqiao's leg can be cured this time... No, even if it can't be cured, it will be very easy for Xu Yansang to replace her. She knows that Xu Yansang earns a lot of money every month now.

Xia Yanfang weighed the pros and cons and felt that it was okay to go. Not only did she have to go, but she also had to put on a good show in front of Xu Yansang. After all, she was paid 15,000 yuan a month, and this kind of money was not easy to earn anywhere else.

hospital.

It was time for surgery, and Xu Daqiao was pushed into the operating room. Xu Yansang and Fu Zhenzhuo were waiting anxiously outside the operating room. Fu Zhenzhuo comforted her, "Don't worry, Dad is a lucky man, and he will definitely get better."

Doctor Zhang called him last night and repeatedly promised that the operation would be a success.

Xu Yansang was surprised that he called "Dad" so smoothly, but she didn't say anything. She just forced a smile. Reason is one thing, and emotion is another. He is her only relative, so worry is inevitable.

Just then, Xia Junan came out of the elevator with a bag on his back and strode over.

Xu Yansang was a little surprised, "Why did you open it? Don't you have class today?"

Xia Junan sat down on the chair next to him, a hint of discomfort flashed across his eyes, and he said fiercely, "What does it have to do with you whether I go to school or not? I just want to come out and have fun. Here I have food, drinks, and air conditioning. I don't want to go to school and suffer that."

Xu Yansang curled her lips and didn't expose his lie. Her father had told her that Xia Junan had studied very hard during this period, and often came back at night and studied in his bedroom until late at night.

He was obviously worried about his father's surgery and came here to watch over him, but he had to act so proud of himself. This kid is so pretentious.

But, it's adolescence, she understands it.

In fact, she was very touched that Xia Junan had such a heart. Three and a half years can reveal a person clearly. Xia Junan was not a real bad boy from the beginning. His softness was wrapped under the shell of carelessness, which was also quite pitiful.

Xu Yansang didn't mention Xia Yanfang, but Xia Junan looked a little nervous. "My mother said to come over at noon and bring some liquid food for Uncle Xu to drink."

After a pause, he handed the lunch box over again, "My mother cooked it."

Xu Yansang was a little surprised and asked without hiding anything, "Did Aunt Fang cook it or did you cook it?"

Xia Junan said unnaturally, "I told you my mom cooked it. You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? You're a college student from a prestigious university. With this level, I don't even want to apply to your crappy university anymore."

Xu Yansang guessed from his reaction that he was angry because his thoughts were revealed. This chicken soup was definitely cooked by Xia Junan.

Come to think of it, with Xia Yanfang's temper, there is no way she would make chicken soup for her father.

Xu Yansang thought of her previous decision, looked at Xia Junan, and finally said, "No matter what our relationship is in the future, I will recognize you as my brother."

Xia Jun'an's body stiffened; he understood.

The thing I was most worried about was about to happen...

With a straight face, he replied unhappily, "I don't need a sister like you."

He turned his face away, but his eyes were a little red.

Xu Yansang didn't say anything else. Xia Junan was a smart child and she knew he could understand.

The four-hour operation seemed as long as four years. Finally, the door of the operating room opened and Dr. Zhang's assistant came out and said with a happy face, "The operation was successful! Dr. Zhang was afraid that you would be anxious waiting, so he asked me to come out and tell you that there is still a little finishing work inside and you can be transferred to the ward in ten minutes!"

Xu Yansang was filled with great excitement. She was afraid that she had misunderstood. She pulled the assistant and asked impatiently, "Is my father's leg healed? Will he be able to walk in the future?"

The assistant smiled and nodded. "Yes, the nerves have been reconnected. The exact extent of the healing is still unclear. We need to see how well he recovers. But in theory, your father is ready to walk again."

Xu Yansang was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She kept thanking him, "Thank you, thank you..."

She was so happy, this was the best news she had ever heard in her life!

Xu Yansang was so excited that she wanted to cry. Fu Zhenzhuo patted her shoulder and said happily, "The heavy stone in my heart has finally fallen."

Xu Yansang thought, yes, the big stone in her heart finally fell, and her father would be able to stand up again. These three years were like a nightmare to her, not to mention to her father.

At this moment, an excited voice came from behind, getting closer and closer, "This is great, thank God, Lao Xu can finally walk, our lives will be better and better from now on!"

Xu Yansang raised her head and saw Xia Yanfang carrying two large food boxes and hurriedly approaching. Meeting Xu Yansang's gaze, she hurriedly said, "I'm not late, am I? I received your call last night and went out to buy some squab. Isn't squab good for the body? Unfortunately, it was too late and the supermarkets were closed. I didn't buy any, so I had to go buy them early this morning. I stewed these two pigeons for more than four hours. They are soft and crispy, perfect for people who have just had surgery!"

Xu Yansang looked at her with some surprise. Is Xia Yanfang so kind?

After three years of getting along, she couldn't say that she understood Xia Yanfang, but she at least knew what kind of person she was. She would not do anything without a profit, was snobbish, and would flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

Could she be so kind as to make soup for her father?

Did someone put drugs in the soup?

But on second thought, Xia Yanfang probably wouldn't have the courage to drug him. Besides, what good would it do her?

No matter what, Xia Yanfang's performance was always good, so Xu Yansang didn't say much. Maybe she could observe her for a while longer. As long as Xia Yanfang was good to her father, even if it was just on the surface, she would not make things difficult for her.

Behind her, Xia Jun'an saw Xia Yanfang and some happiness flashed in his eyes, but it soon turned into uneasiness. His mother came too late, and he didn't know if he could make Sister Yansang change her mind.

Xu Daqiao was soon pushed out. The anesthetic effect had not yet worn off, and he lay on the bed with his eyes closed. Xia Yanfang watched him and wiped her tears, "Old Xu must have suffered so much."

She was very worried about Xu Daqiao's appearance. She lifted the quilt to look at the bandage on his leg, and then tucked the quilt in for him.

She sat down and turned to look at Xu Yansang, sighed, and said with red eyes, "Yansang, don't look at me like that. I have lived with your father for more than three years, and I plan to live with him for the rest of my life. I have a bad personality, I admit it, but I have no bad intentions towards your father, and I also hope for the best for him."

Xu Yansang just said "hmm" and didn't say anything.

She didn't believe a word Xia Yanfang said. If Xia Yanfang had any sincerity towards her father, she wouldn't have gone to the extreme of replacing Xia Yanfang.

Maybe she saw that her father's leg had healed and was afraid that he would abandon her?

She did not easily believe Xia Yanfang's words. This was a good opportunity. She wanted to let Xia Yanfang know who was the real master of this family.

If you want to earn this money, you must be aware of the need to earn this money.

Xia Yanfang looked at her expression, unsure of what she was thinking, and secretly felt anxious. It seemed that she had to perform well.

She turned to look at Xia Junan and frowned again, "Your Uncle Xu has finished the surgery, you should go back to school first. It's a waste of time to stay here. The college entrance examination is coming soon, you have to hurry up, understand?"

Xia Junan said nothing, picked up his bag and walked out.

Xia Yanfang was so angry that her liver hurt. "This child is becoming more and more disobedient."

Half an hour later, Xu Daqiao slowly woke up. Xia Yanfang was watching him attentively. "Old Xu, how do you feel? Does your wound hurt? Are you hungry since you haven't eaten or drunk since last night? I made you some pigeon soup. Would you like to drink two bowls?"

Xu Daqiao frowned subconsciously. Why is Xia Yanfang crazy?

Xu Yansang walked forward and said happily, "Dad, the operation was successful. Doctor Zhang said that you are now able to stand up. After the wound heals in a while, you can try to practice walking."

Xu Daqiao was also very excited when he heard this, and said to Xu Yansang, "This is all thanks to A'zhuo, you must thank him!"

Fu Zhenzhuo spoke at the right time, "Dad, we are a family and we should keep our differences to ourselves. This is what I should do."

Xu Daqiao insisted, "A great favor is a great favor, and it cannot be erased just because you are the son-in-law."

Xu Yansang also said, "Ah Zhuo, thank you so much this time. My dad's surgery was so successful because of you. I owe you this."

After hearing her last sentence, Fu Zhen swallowed back the words of denial that he was about to say.

Owe him one? Sounds good.

I wonder if I can use it to offset his deception in the future...
