Chapter 618 - 616 Too Black-hearted
Jinchai watched, wide-eyed, as Wang Yongping and Jindou wrapped Old Wang Laozhu in a quilt and lifted him to the main room, then tossed out the soiled bedding.
Old Granny Zhang then asked for the direction to the kitchen, ran in, boiled a pot of hot water, wiped down Old Wang Laozhu, changed him into a set of clothes Wang Yongping had brought, and finally got him comfortably settled in bed.
Jinhoo was also very considerate, while Wang Yongping and Old Granny Zhang were inside wiping down Old Wang Laozhu and changing his clothes, he busily ran out to the kitchen, lit the fire, boiled the remaining water in the pot, found some rice in the kitchen, threw it into the pot, and cooked up a thick bowl of rice soup to bring to the room.
Jinchai’s eyes nearly popped out of her head, but Lady Qian held her back firmly.
The family, like strangers, watched the Wang family take care of their own as if they were at home. They hardly spoke, and in no time, they had taken good care of Old Wang Laozhu.
Lady Qian actually wanted to go in several times, but was stopped by Wang Yongzhu at the door. A cold glance from her was enough to deter any further approach.
It was Wang Yongan, though, who seemed nonchalant as he complimented Wang Yongzhu, "I owe it all to mother and younger sister. Otherwise, I, as a man, wouldn’t know how to care for father! Thankfully, you’ve come—father doesn’t have to suffer and I don’t have to worry!"
Nearby, Lady Qian, holding back her shame, said, "Younger sister, it’s my fault this time! I shouldn’t have listened to my mother and neglected father! When father wakes up, I’ll apologize to him!"
"Apologies aren’t enough. If you really have the heart, here, this bedding is dirty, take it apart and wash it!" Wang Yongzhu scoffed.
Lady Qian gritted her teeth, still hesitating. She was naturally neat, and aside from her and her Official, and Jinchai, she had never even washed her parents’ clothes.
Having her wash bedding stained with filth was worse than killing her.
