"Mom, it’s okay. I’m not hungry. You and Xiao Wan eat first. I’ll take the meal to Lijuan and check on her."

"No need, I can go." Shen Qing wanted her son to eat something.

"Mom, I’ll drop it off and then come back. You guys go ahead and eat. Also, if Xie Lingzhi causes any trouble, don’t confront her directly. Just get the nurse to kick her out." Han Yi picked up Lijuan’s lunchbox and reminded Shen Qing.

"Don’t worry. If she really stirs up trouble, I won’t let myself suffer." Shen Qing responded with a smile.

Han Yi nodded at Shen Qing, then approached and touched Lin Wan’s face, saying, "Eat more. Tell Mom if you want anything. After I leave, just close the door tight."

"Okay, got it. You go ahead." Saying this, she gave Han Yi one of the hot buns her mother-in-law had just bought.

Han Yi responded, took the lunch, and left. Holding a bun in one hand, he continued to eat as he went.

Seeing her son like this, Shen Qing felt a bit jealous of her daughter-in-law, "Xiao Yi listens to you the most."

Lin Wan smiled from the side, "Mom, if you call him now, he would definitely turn around and come back."

Shen Qing chuckled, "Let’s not talk about him. Let’s eat quickly."

Lin Wan had a lot of soup in the morning, and her mother-in-law bought her noodles for lunch. Worried she hadn’t had enough, she also bought some buns.

The doctor advised her to eat easily digestible and nutritious food for a quick recovery. But she didn’t feel hungry, just very thirsty, although the water didn’t taste sweet in the past couple of days.

When Han Yi reached Lijuan’s ward, he found her almost recovered, as his mom had said. Lijuan could already get out of bed and walk.

The ward had several people, all eating already. Han Yi felt a bit guilty for neglecting Lijuan while his mom was busy with Xiao Wan.

"Brother, why are you here?" Lijuan was lying on the bed reading a book, surprised to see Han Yi.

"I came to bring you food. How are you feeling?" Han Yi placed the lunchbox on the bedside table and sat on a stool beside her.

"I’m better. The doctor said I can leave the hospital tomorrow. How is sister-in-law?" Lijuan quickly sat up.

"Your sister-in-law is fine, just needs to rest quietly. The food is from Mom. It’s been a while, so check if it’s cold. If it is, just throw it away, and I’ll buy you a new one."

Lijuan obediently picked up the lunchbox, smiling as she opened it. "I can get out of bed now and can go out to buy food myself. Mom came back midway and told me she ran into you guys and said my sister-in-law was hurt. She hurriedly left after saying she’d bring me lunch but didn’t tell me which ward it was. I wanted to check after my IV drip, but I didn’t know where."

"In the obstetrics and gynecology department, ward number 5, on the third floor." Han Yi gave Lijuan the address, then left after ensuring she was fine.

When Han Yi reached the old house, everyone except Xie Lingzhi and her son were there. Mr. Mei sighed deeply when he saw the injuries on Han Yi’s face, feeling useless and unable to manage the family anymore.

From when Han Yi entered to the end of the meal, Mr. Mei didn’t ask a single question, his expression growing more sorrowful.

After dinner, Han Yi took Little Star and his in-laws to his second aunt’s place.

Mei Shuping felt a bit awkward but said nothing, as Lin Guozhi was closer with his second brother.

At his second uncle’s house, Han Yi gave a camera to his father-in-law, advising to develop the photos at home since there wasn’t enough time now.

After hearing about the fight, Mei Shuqing was also surprised and quickly asked for details since there was time now.

Han Yi didn’t hide anything and explained Mei Langchi’s plan to cause a car accident and sell permits, which made everyone worry. Han Yi didn’t disclose the plan for the next day, knowing it would happen regardless of him mentioning it or not.

After chatting with Mei Shuqing, Lin Guozhi visited the hospital and spoke with Xiao Wan before returning to Z City overnight.

That night, Han Yi returned to their quadrangle house with Liang Hongmei and Shen Qing, letting them rest well. He stayed at the hospital to look after Xiao Wan and Lijuan.

Liang Hongmei didn’t let Han Yi leave immediately. Seeing the meat and vegetables at home, she quickly made some snacks to take along for them in case they got hungry at night.

When Han Yi brought the food to the hospital, Lijuan happened to be visiting Lin Wan’s ward.

"Are you hungry? Mom made some potato pancakes and sent them over with me."
