The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 78: You Must Take This Medicine on Time
Qiao Qiqi turned back to glance in a certain direction before returning to her room, the corners of her crimson lips curling up slightly. From today onwards, the good days for those ingrates in the Qiao Family would finally come to an end.
...
After Old Mrs. Qiao got up, the servant who usually came in first thing to attend to her wasn’t there. Her temper flared instantly as she shouted, "Xiao Yang, where are you? Come in and help me get dressed."
Sister Yang was outside talking with a few colleagues, worry etched on all their faces. Hearing Old Mrs. Qiao’s call, she hastily pushed the door open and entered, "Old Mrs. Qiao, I’ll get your clothes now."
"What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know to work without being told? Do I pay you so much every day for nothing?" The old lady was already in a foul mood these past days, all because of that little brat Qiao Qiqi. Now she was lashing out at anyone she could find.
Sister Yang brought clothes over and quickly helped Old Mrs. Qiao out of bed. Hesitating a bit, she asked with a troubled face, "Old Mrs. Qiao, it’s not that we don’t want to work, but now that Second Master’s family is gone, who will pay our wages?"
Ever since Second Master’s family moved out yesterday, all the servants in the house were worried. It was clear that Old Mrs. Qiao and the First Master’s family disliked the newly returned Second Miss, but they also saw how doted upon Miss Qiqi was by Second Master and Second Lady.
Besides, Miss Qiqi’s attitude when she left yesterday was very strange, leaving them all very uneasy.
"Even if they’ve left, he’s still my son! How dare he not care for me? If he dares, I’ll sue him!" Old Mrs. Qiao shouted with vigor.
Sister Yang was helpless. After all, she still didn’t know who would pay them their wages. With Sister Zhang’s previous experience as a warning, she still couldn’t find peace of mind.
After helping Old Mrs. Qiao get up, Qian Mentao started yelling again from the other side. The blood bird’s nest at home had also been taken away by Qiao Qiqi, so she didn’t have any to eat.
When Qiao Qiqi moved out yesterday, aside from the furniture, she didn’t leave behind a single item of value!
Qiao Yue’er and Qiao Yun’er came downstairs for breakfast, looking at the almost emptied villa. Not even a valuable decoration was left, leaving them very upset. How could they show off to their classmates if they visited in the future?
...
Today was the weekend. Qiao Qiqi decided to take her mother to the hospital for a more thorough check-up and to get some medicine. Although her mother’s health wasn’t at the point of being irreparably damaged, medicine was still necessary.
She could simply get some medicine for her mother, but if it wasn’t prescribed by a doctor, her mother might not take it seriously.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter took the car to the hospital.
"Qiqi, I don’t feel unwell; there’s really no need to go to the hospital," Wu Lening wasn’t fond of the hospital’s smell, and with so many people, she didn’t want to go unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Mom, it’s just a basic check-up. Only if you’re healthy can Brother and I be at ease." Qiao Qiqi asked her mother to wait while she went to get in line to register.
Although Wu Lening was reluctant to do any check-ups, seeing her daughter care about her health made her feel warm inside.
When the check-up results were out, Wu Lening was a bit surprised. Her lungs did have some minor issues requiring medication and some time for recuperation.
After taking the medicine, Qiao Qiqi said, "Mom, you must take these medicines on time and don’t forget."
"It’s just some minor issues, nothing serious." Wu Lening wasn’t too concerned, thinking it might just be some small health issues.
