Aunt Chen was also worried. After a moment of silence, she patted his chest and told him to stop talking.
Uncle Chen sighed. Then, he said, “From the way they put it, those people won’t let it go just like that.”
Ever since Qiao Nian went to Beijing, she had become the future granddaughter-in-law of the Ye family.
People often came to Aunt Chen’s place.
She knew what those people were thinking, so she just patted the back of his hand. “Let them be. They’re just making things difficult for us. We’re a small family and don’t have much money. If they want to make things difficult for us, so be it. I won’t let them have their way, let alone trouble Nian Nian for them.”
Uncle Chen thought the same and stopped talking.

It was just as Uncle Chen had thought.
In the afternoon, Aunt Chen went to set up her stall and encountered a hooligan causing trouble. First, he scared away all her customers. Later on, a self-proclaimed inspector came over and told her she couldn’t set up a stall here in the future. It was against the rules.
This was not the end.
After Aunt Chen packed her things and went home, she received a call saying that someone had eaten something at her stall in the afternoon and was being treated in the hospital for food poisoning. They asked her to hurry over.
After settling Uncle Chen down, she could only rush to the hospital.
Upon getting there, the patient’s family members pounced on her, crying and beating her. Then, they asked her to pay for the medical fees, insisting that the patient had eaten her spicy and sour noodles and got food poisoning.
The doctor also urged him to pump his stomach.
Aunt Chen had no choice but to pay 20,000 yuan for the medical fees. They even asked her to wait for the gastric lavage operation to end before she was allowed to leave.
Aunt Chen was in a hurry and didn’t have time to cook for Uncle Chen.
She anxiously sat on the cold bench in the hospital corridor. However, no matter how she told the patient’s family that she would not run, those people refused to let her go.
Helpless, she could only send a message to Chen Yuan, who was studying in Beijing. She asked him to get his high school classmates to send food over.
***
Beijing.
Chen Yuan turned on his cell phone after class and saw a message from his Mom.
He quickly walked out of the classroom and called her.
The call rang for more than 10 seconds before it was answered.
Chen Yuan immediately asked, “Mom, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you at home?”
“… I can’t explain it to you right now. Yuan Yuan, call a high school classmate and ask them to deliver food to your father. I’ll go back tonight.”
Aunt Chen did not want him to know about the family matters, mainly because she did not want him to tell Qiao Nian.
“By the way, I’m worried about delivering the key through someone else. Tell him to find a lock-picking company. I’ll pay for it. If the locksmith refuses to open the door for him, get him to call me. I’ll explain to him.”
Aunt Chen was quite thoughtful. She even thought of the lockpicking company.
She carefully reminded Chen Yuan without mentioning where she was.
Chen Yuan could tell this matter was not small. He did not insist on asking for the reason and obediently agreed. He said he would contact his classmate to deliver food and then hang up.
Aunt Chen hung up with relief.
After some thought, Chen Yuan found Qiao Nian’s phone number. His fingertips rubbed against it a few times, but he did not call her.
He bought a plane ticket to Rao City and applied for leave with the professor before rushing to the airport.
During this period, he even thought of a way to contact a high school classmate and get him to help deliver food to his father. At the same time, he also explained what Aunt Chen had said about the lock-picker.

Next morning.
Aunt Chen finally got rid of the patient’s family in the morning and returned home exhausted after having been pestered by them for the entire night.
