“Lao Ba has been in a car accident.”
Qiao Han’s heart tightened, and she asked with concern, “Is the injury serious? Where did the accident happen? You, Lao Wu, and Sister Tong all went to the hospital, right?”
Zhan Haoyu replied, “You don’t need to worry. We haven’t let the elders know. The injury isn’t serious. So far, we only know about external wounds. Whether there are internal injuries still needs to wait for the imaging results.”
“Lao Ba looks like nothing happened to him. He also says it’s no big deal.”
“The car just has some serious damage to the front. He said part of the windscreen shattered and cut his hand.”
“He first called Da Ge. Da Ge contacted Da Sao to have her notify me and Lao Wu. Now Da Ge and Da Sao have left. Lao Wu and I are still at the hospital.”
“Once the test results come out, if there’s no major issue, we’ll have his little housekeeper come to take care of him.”
They suddenly left home. If the elders found out, they would definitely suspect something had happened.
Although Grandma doesn’t manage things now, the old lady is still sharp.
“As long as he’s alright, if the car is damaged, it’s damaged. He can get a new one later. How did the accident happen? Lao Ba has always been steady, not like Lao Jiu who is still a bit impulsive.”
Lao Jiu, Zhan Yan, is the youngest. His brothers all dote on him. He doesn’t have to shoulder the family burdens, and he hasn’t reached the age where he’s urged to marry, so he’s the most relaxed. His personality is still a bit impulsive, not mature and steady enough.
A man in his mid-twenties is indeed not mature and steady enough.
“Mm, it’s fine. You don’t need to worry. Keep an eye on the two little rascals at home. I’ll be back later. If the little rascals misbehave, I’ll give them a beating when I get back.”
Qiao Han laughed, “You only say that. If you really dare to hit them, Grandma’s walking stick will come down on you, and even Mum and Dad wouldn’t let you off. We can’t use violent education in our family.”
Although, sometimes, she really wanted to give the two boys a beating too.
Zhan Haoyu chuckled, “Take them out and beat them, don’t let them go home and tell, and it’ll be fine.”
“They’re not stupid. During the summer holidays, with the old ancestor protecting them, wherever you take them to get beaten, they’ll come back and tell Grandma. Forget it. Boys are naturally wild anyway. It’s the summer holidays, so let them be wild for a bit.”
“It’s not just our two who are wild now. Everyone is playing like crazy. Even Beibei and Niu Niu are running around after their brothers.”
Qiao Han said with a laugh, “I think those little rascals really don’t want to play with their two little sisters, but they don’t dare refuse. Haha, watching them helpless but having to patiently take care of their little sisters is quite funny.”
“Of course, it’s also very loving. They all dote on their two little sisters.”
Zhan Haoyu said, “That’s right. There are too few sisters. They all know how to cherish their sisters. There are nine brothers in my family, but not a single sister. If there had been one, we would have spoiled her with our lives.”
“Don’t let the elders in the family know about Lao Ba’s matter for now.”
Qiao Han said, “Don’t worry, I know that. Lao Ba isn’t seriously hurt. Let him stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. Wait until the wounds on his hand are completely healed before coming back. Anyway, everyone is busy with work and doesn’t return to the old house every day.”
“That’s natural. That’s how we’ve arranged it. Lao Ba originally didn’t want to be hospitalised. He said he was fine. Da Ge pressured him to stay in the hospital, and he was still grumbling. Now, he doesn’t need Da Ge to pressure him. He wants to stay in the hospital himself. He might even want to stay and not leave.”
“What’s going on? Is there some complication?”
Zhan Haoyu laughed softly, “Lao Ba’s fate might have arrived. Just now, a young female doctor came over. She’s in charge of Lao Ba. I noticed that when Lao Ba saw that female doctor, his eyes lit up.”
“Lao Ba fell in love with that female doctor at first sight?”
Qiao Han also laughed, “This really is fate arriving. Usually, when we set him up on blind dates or arrange matchmaking, he doesn’t feel anything. When fate comes, he doesn’t need us to pull strings. He falls for her himself.”
“That’s right. When fate comes, you can’t block it. It’s just that we don’t know what the personality of that female doctor surnamed Zeng is like, or what her family background is. Our family doesn’t particularly emphasise matching status, but it can’t be too ordinary either.”
“If the family background is too ordinary, marrying into our family, the sister-in-law would also feel immense pressure.
