My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!

After Jiang Huai finished speaking, Jiang Yan remained silent for a long time before finally nodding. "Okay, let's ask after Big Brother finishes dinner."

When the two returned to the ward, it was already bustling with activity. Bai Xin, Gong Bolin, and Jiang Zhuo had all come.

Bai Xin came over to see Jiang Guanqing after work, and also to ask Jiang Yan about the information they had gathered during the day. Gong Bolin had gone to another city a couple of days ago to find the witness, and returned that afternoon after completing his investigation.

As for Jiang Zhuo, she went back to rest in the afternoon. Now she brought back the food her aunt had made. The insulated food container was laid out on the table, and the room was filled with the aroma of food.

Jiang Zhuo raised the small table on the hospital bed and placed Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Ning's meals on it.

For dinner, Jiang Guanqing ate a soft and tender vegetable congee, yam and pork rib soup, stir-fried shrimp, and a plate of steamed pumpkin.

Because Jiang Guanqing has a poor appetite, each portion was prepared in small quantities, including a small bowl of porridge.

Despite being a fellow patient, Jiang Ning had a great appetite. Although she lay in bed all day with no exercise, her appetite remained large.

Jiang Ning wanted to eat three large bowls of vegetable porridge, but she also complained that there was no meat. She wanted sweet and sour pork ribs, chicken legs, and braised pork with preserved mustard greens...

What's wrong with that? Sweet and sour pork ribs are meat, but pork ribs cooked with yam aren't meat anymore?

Jiang Zhuo was speechless, but he couldn't directly retort. So, in the past few days, Jiang Zhuo found a good way to comfort himself: he would treat Jiang Ning as a pig and feed him every day.

This little pig has a great appetite and will surely grow up to be plump and healthy quickly, then we can prepare to "slaughter" it.

"Hasn't Xiao Huai come back yet?" Jiang Guanqing asked in confusion. Wasn't he just going out to make a phone call?

"They'll be back soon, right?" Jiang Zhuo didn't know; she was just guessing.

As if on cue, Jiang Yan and Jiang Huai entered the room one after the other.

Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Ning were staying in the largest ward in the hospital. Now, with a group of people sitting around the room, the ward seemed a bit crowded.

"Big brother."

Jiang Guanqing looked at Jiang Yan and Jiang Huai as they entered, and smiled, "You're here."

Jiang Zhuo picked up a lunchbox. "Big brother, I'm going to deliver some food to Uncle Liu next door."

"it is good."

In addition to food for Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Ning, Jiang Zhuo also brought a lot of food, but only prepared enough for three people. He didn't expect so many people to come today, so he just urgently ordered food from a nearby hotel.

Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Ning ate on the bed, while the others sat around the sofa to eat.

"Big brother, please stop putting food on Jiang Xiaoliu's plate." Jiang Yan's attention was focused on Jiang Guanqing while eating. When he saw Jiang Guanqing putting a piece of rib on Jiang Ning's plate one moment and a shrimp the next, his brows furrowed instantly.

Jiang Guanqing is very disobedient; this isn't the first time he's reduced his food portions in this way.

As soon as Jiang Yan spoke, everyone's eyes turned to him. Jiang Guanqing paused in his chopsticks, then awkwardly put the shrimp into his bowl.

He can't finish it all, but Xiao Ning is eating so happily, why can't he give it to Xiao Ning?

During this time, the group developed a habit of chatting with each other during meals, talking about what had happened to them recently, and most of the time they were talking to Jiang Guanqing.

Unfortunately, some adults want to know, and during occasional conversations, they secretly eavesdrop, but they're too good at hiding it and won't ask directly.

Half an hour after the meal, Jiang Yan took a handful of medicine and sat down by the bed.

Jiang Guanqing frowned involuntarily when he saw the medicine in the medicine box in Jiang Yan's hand.

Jiang Guanqing swallowed the medicine in five or six minutes and drank almost three large glasses of water.

Jiang Yan put the water glass back on the bedside table and fed Jiang Guanqing a piece of preserved plum.

"Is it tasty?"

Jiang Guanqing was taken aback by the question. "It's alright." Actually, he didn't really like preserved plums. They were a bit sour, but they could mask the taste of medicine in his mouth.

Jiang Yan nodded and didn't say anything more. He wanted to ask his older brother about the car accident three years ago, but he didn't know where to start.

The room gradually quieted down. Bai Xin and the others sensed something was wrong, exchanged glances, and fell silent again.

"Xiao Yan, is something the matter?" Jiang Guanqing asked uneasily, his fingers unconsciously tugging at the corner of the blanket.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, looked up and met Jiang Guanqing's gaze. "Big brother, can you tell me about your car accident three years ago?"

Jiang Guanqing's heart skipped a beat, and he looked away. "It was just an accident, it's all in the past."

It's always like this, my older brother always likes to keep things from me when something happens to him.

Jiang Yan's eyes welled up with tears, and she gently took Jiang Guanqing's hand in hers. "Big brother, I want to know." It was all their fault. If they had stayed by their brother's side, wouldn't he have told them about what happened to him?

Seeing Jiang Yan's eyes redden, Jiang Guanqing panicked instantly. "Don't cry, did someone bully you?"

Xiao Yan is acting strangely today. Was she bullied? There's no way Xiao Yan would cry just because I didn't tell her about the car accident.

Hearing Jiang Guanqing's words, Jiang Yan felt even more distressed. "Brother, I already know."

Jiang Guanqing's eyes widened. "You know? You know what?"

"Brother, you were in a car accident on the mountain road three years ago, right?" Jiang Yan raised his hand to wipe away his tears, his voice a little hoarse.

Jiang Ning, who had rarely seen Jiang Yan cry since childhood, was secretly filming a video with her phone. Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, she froze, her phone slipped from her hand, fell onto the blanket by the bed, then slid down and hit the ground with a thud.

Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Guanqing, her lips trembling, "Big brother, were you driving that Mercedes that crashed into the truck?"

"No, Big Brother has never been to any mountain roads!" Jiang Guanqing hurriedly retorted, knowing that Xiao Ning absolutely could not know about this.

Jiang Guanqing forced himself to remain calm, "Your second brother has made a mistake."

Jiang Ning and Jiang Guanqing looked at each other, tears streaming down their faces like a burst dam. "Big brother, you lied to me..."

Jiang Ning's tears fell onto the blanket, leaving a small dark stain.

"Big brother, that's you, isn't it? You were driving that Mercedes, and you got hurt because of me..." Jiang Ning cried, her whole body trembling, as if she was having difficulty breathing.

His older brother suffered a lumbar spine fracture because of him, and a comminuted knee fracture because of him. His older brother almost lost his life trying to save him. And all these years, he's been blaming his older brother for some trivial matter and refusing to go home...

Snapped--

A crisp slap echoed in the ward.

"No!" Jiang Guanqing reached out to stop Jiang Ning's hand, which was about to slap him, and hurriedly explained, "It wasn't you, Xiao Ning, it wasn't..."

Jiang Ning's hand was gripped by Jiang Guanqing. She struggled twice but couldn't break free, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
