Zhang Shanni arrived, which confirmed that it was already the fourth day of the new year. Everything else could be negotiated, but Fan Jiefang had to go back. After all, the vehicle he drove belonged to his work unit, not his personal property.
Moreover, with only his wife at home tending to several children, he couldn't afford to be away for too long.
Yet, looking at his mother-in-law's condition, it was clear that she wouldn't recover quickly.
The doctor had said she needed to stay in the hospital for at least half a month, to receive injections and treatments, which would aid her recovery.
Money was not the primary concern, but having everyone gathered here was definitely not a solution.
Fortunately, there was Xie Zhongsheng, the clan's uncle, so people like Xie Jingyang had a temporary place to stay.
One could say they were lucky with the timing, as people of this era still avoided seeking medical treatment during the festive season.
