I won't let them succeed.
In the following days, I worked and studied, and time flew by quickly.
Half a year later, I received my first bonus and transferred two thousand yuan to my mom.
When my mom received the money, she was very happy and called me to chat about family matters.
I responded casually, but in my heart, I was planning my next steps.
The company I worked for was a startup, and my boss appreciated me, promising that as long as I was willing, I could be promoted and get a raise at any time.
I was grateful, but I had my own plans.
I intended to start my own business after graduating from university.
I had ten thousand yuan on me, plus my savings from the past six months, which would be enough.
Time flew by, and another six months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Wen Haohao's condition worsened.
My mom called me several times, crying about what was happening with Wen Haohao and asking what to do.
I pretended not to understand and shifted the problem to Sister-in-law.
My mom scolded me for being cold-hearted, but I didn't care.
One day, after finishing work, I received a call from my mom.
On the other end of the line, she was crying so hard that she could barely speak: "Ning Ning, Haohou... he..."
I frowned and said, "Mom, please don't cry. Take your time."
She sobbed and said, "Haohou has been diagnosed with Uremia. What should we do?"
Although I had anticipated this news, I still feigned surprise: "How could this happen?"
My mom cried even harder: "I don't know! He was such a healthy child; how could this..."
I asked, "What about Sister-in-law? What does she say?"
My mom sighed: "Your sister-in-law is also very anxious; she's been running around these days and has lost weight."
I replied calmly: "Sister-in-law has been with the child the longest; she must know better than us about his condition. You should listen to her."
My mom was furious and shouted at me, "Ning Ning, how can you say such things? Haohao is your dear nephew; how can you not care about him?"
I replied calmly, "Mom, I'm not ignoring him; I trust my sister-in-law. She has been with the child the longest and surely knows him better than we do. Just listen to her."
My mom was exasperated, "How can you be so cold-hearted? Something serious has happened to Haohao, aren't you worried at all?"
I smiled slightly, "Mom, how can you say that? Of course I'm worried; I just believe in my sister-in-law."
My mom angrily hung up the phone.
I put away my smile and my gaze turned icy.
Wen Haohao developing uremia was something I had anticipated.
In this life, without my help, they could only watch helplessly as Wen Haohao suffered from illness.
I believed that with Sister-in-law's character, she would not give up.
She would do everything possible to save Wen Haohao.
And all I needed to do was wait patiently.
That night, while scrolling through my social media feed, I came across a video posted by Bai Zhenzhen.
In the video, my brother was drinking with a few friends while my mom sat beside them holding Wen Haohao.
In high spirits from the alcohol, my brother dipped his chopsticks in some liquor and fed it to seven-month-old Wen Haohao.
Wen Haohao's little face immediately scrunched up.
Everyone present burst into laughter.
Bai Zhenzhen captioned it: "Haohao is truly blessed to be able to drink with his dad at such a young age."
I was stunned.
Wen Haohao is only seven months old; how could they feed him alcohol?
That night, I received a call from my mom.
On the other end of the line, she was crying and said, "Zhenzhen, something has happened to Haohao; hurry to the hospital!"
I pretended to be concerned, "What happened?"
My mom cried out, "It's your brother's fault; he insisted on feeding Haohao alcohol with chopsticks. Now look, Haohao has alcohol poisoning and is about to die!"
My expression darkened.
My brother is really foolish; he actually fed a seven-month-old child alcohol.
I said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately took a taxi to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, my brother was arguing with my sister-in-law.
She pointed at him and scolded, "It's all your fault for insisting on feeding Haohou alcohol. Now look where that got him—hospitalized! Are you happy now?"
