Huang Qinquian, as her name implies, was expected by her parents to grow up diligent, becoming a hardworking person.
But reality often differs from expectations. Among Huang's family'...
Bang!
"You good-for-nothing! Didn't you say it had to be a son?!"
"Another money-loser! You've wasted so much of my money!"
"Get up right now and get discharged immediately!"
Huang Qinqin was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by shouting and cursing.
Even Ping An, who was lying quietly to the side, was frightened into tears by Wang Laidi's husband's voice.
"Wow! Wow wow~ Wow!"
Xu Junhui was originally holding Pingping and trying to soothe her, but he was not very skilled at holding the child.
Pingping felt uncomfortable being held by him, so she cried even louder.
"Wah! Waaah wah wah!"
"Pingping, be good, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy's here."
Xu Junhui didn't know what the problem was, and seeing that Pingping was crying even more than he tried to comfort her, he could only ask Chen Zhaodi for help.
An'an was easier to coax than Pingping, so Chen Zhaodi coaxed An'an first before she went to coax Pingping.
However, after holding Pingping, Chen Zhaodi realized that the boy was incredibly clever.
She cried so loudly, but not a single tear came out; it was all bark and no bite.
Chen Zhaodi gently patted Pingping, and soon Pingping calmed down.
Seeing how easily Pingping could be soothed in Chen Zhaodi's arms, but how much louder she cried in his own, Xu Junhui couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Junhui, come here for a second."
After struggling to sit up, Huang Qinqin waved to Xu Junhui.
"Honey, were you woken up too?"
Do you want some water? Or do you need to use the restroom?
Chen Zhaodi and Xu Junhui were so focused on keeping things peaceful that they didn't even notice that Huang Qinqin had been woken up.
That makes sense, given how loud Wang Laidi and her family are, it's hard not to be woken up.
Huang Qinqin grabbed Xu Junhui's hand and shook her head at him.
"I'm not thirsty, and I don't want to go to the toilet."
"Junhui, don't be discouraged. We're just new parents, so we definitely don't know how to take care of the kids like parents do."
"I believe that if you have a little more time, you will definitely be good at coaxing children too."
Xu Junhui was surprised that Huang Qinqin had noticed his fleeting moment of dejection.
Feeling pleased with himself, he nodded happily: "Yes, I know."
"I will also learn from my parents how to raise children."
After they finished speaking, the two of them suddenly began to gaze at each other with deep affection.
Chen Zhaodi didn't want to disturb them, but the cursing and crying from the other side were too loud.
She had to interrupt them because she had scared Ping An and An An into tears again.
"Junhui, come and hug An'an, she's crying again."
Xu Junhui clumsily and carefully picked up An'an and began to coax him softly.
However, Xu Junhui's movements when holding An'an were even stiffer than when he held Pingping.
He chose to hug Pingping because Pingping looked a little bigger than An'an.
When Xu Junhui held Pingping, he was afraid of hurting him, let alone holding An'an, who was even smaller than Pingping.
An'an was really only a little bigger than Xu Junhui's palm. He was holding An'an and didn't dare to move at all.
Seeing this, Huang Qinqin quickly asked Xu Junhui to bring An'an over.
"Junhui, give An'an to me. I think they might be hungry too."
"good."
Xu Junhui placed An'an in Huang Qinqin's arms and then closed the curtain.
He walked straight towards Wang Laidi and the others.
Xu Junhui grabbed Wang Laidi's husband's arm and said angrily, "Are you ever going to stop?!"
Is your family the only one in this ward?
Wang Laidi's husband said impatiently, "What's it to you?!"
"I wasn't scolding your wife, mind your own business! What, have you taken a fancy to my wife?"
"Then trade your wife to me! Huh!"
Xu Junhui originally just wanted him to shut up and be quiet for a while.
As a result, Wang Laidi's husband started talking nonsense and speaking rudely, so Xu Junhui punched him directly in the face.
After hitting him, Xu Junhui still felt it wasn't enough, so he punched him in the stomach again.
Bang!
When Wang Laidi saw that her husband had been beaten by Xu Junhui, she struggled to get out of bed.
"What are you doing?! How can you hit people like that!"
Xu Junhui instinctively dodged Wang Laidi, giving them an opportunity to help the person up.
Grandma Wang Laidi was heartbroken to see that her son's mouth was bleeding.
But she remembered what Zhang Yumei had said before, that Xu Weiguo was the director of the Public Security Bureau, so she didn't dare to raise her voice at Xu Junhui.
So he pinched Wang Laidi hard a few times and yelled, "It's all your fault, you jinx!"
"If you hadn't given birth to another money-losing child, why would my son be cursing you!"
"If I didn't curse you, you wouldn't get beaten up! You're completely useless, why don't you just die!"
Wang Laidi lowered her head and began to sob softly.
Even though she had just given birth and could barely stand, she kept bowing her head and apologizing.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, my stomach is so uncooperative."
"It's all my fault for dragging the family down with me, I deserve to die! I'm so sorry!"
Xu Junhui had no interest in listening to them complaining to each other.
He looked at Wang Laidi's husband with barely concealed anger and coldly warned, "You'd better watch your eyes and your mouth."
"If I hear you say anything you shouldn't have said or see anything you shouldn't have seen again..."
"Don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Chen Zhaodi had just heard what Wang Laidi's husband said, and she felt extremely disgusted and repulsed.
He wished Xu Junhui would beat him up right away, preferably until his own mother wouldn't recognize him!
"Qinqin, why don't we get discharged from the hospital sooner?"
“You won’t get proper rest in the hospital anyway. If you’re safe and sound, there won’t be any problems. You might as well go home.”
Huang Qinqin also wanted to go home, but she hesitated because she remembered the doctor's advice that it would be best for them to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days.
"Let's see. Didn't they just say they'd be discharged soon?"
"Let's see if they leave first. If they're still here tomorrow, we'll discharge them."
"That's fine, let's take a look first."
Xu Junhui lifted the curtain and came in, saying to Chen Zhaodi and Huang Qinqin, "Mom, Qinqin, I'm going out for a while."
"Mom, please take care of Ping An and Qin Qin for now. I will come back as soon as possible."
......
As soon as Xu Junhui left the hospital, he went straight to the meat processing plant.
"Old Zhu, long time no see. Are you free now?"
Xu Junhui patted Zhu the butcher, who was cleaning the cutting board, and handed him a pack of cigarettes.
"Hey kid, why did your food factory change its purchasing manager recently?"
"Are you retiring early?"
When Butcher Zhu heard Xu Junhui's voice, he thought he had misheard.
Xu Junhui smiled and said, "I was forced to step down, but it's a good opportunity to rest and spend time with my wife and kids."
"A baby? Your wife has already given birth?"
"Congratulations! When were you born? Why didn't you say anything?"
