At this point, Mo Youyou no longer needed to probe and went straight to the crucial question.

"No, no!" Zhang Cuihua reacted exactly like Liu Dekai, quickly denying it.

Even though she was terrified, Zhang Cuihua absolutely could not give in.

She didn't know if her son knew about the situation, but she couldn't cause him trouble. Until her son told her what to do, she had to deny it to the death!

"Youyou, what are you saying?"

"Dekai is getting married for the first time, and you are my first daughter-in-law. How could you have such thoughts?"

"If Dekai really had any problems, wouldn't it have been found out when you submitted your application for marriage?"

Mo Youyou sneered inwardly.

It seems she underestimated her own country mother-in-law, who actually knew that the marriage report board investigates backgrounds.

But she wasn't completely unprepared.

The commotion at the ward door caught Su Yueya's attention, and she looked towards the doorway—

Mo Youyou is here again?

This time, she even brought her former mother-in-law along?

Su Yueya didn't move.

“I know that in your rural area, weddings are usually held with banquets, and no marriage certificate is obtained. So naturally, the marriage report won't find anything, but that doesn't mean Liu Dekai hasn't been married to other women.”

"Are you lying to me or not?!"

Zhang Cuihua was startled; she really didn't know how to respond!

In her panic, Zhang Cuihua suddenly started coughing.

"Cough—cough—"

She already had a bad voice and often suffered from pharyngitis.

This really triggered it, and the coughing just wouldn't stop; it looked like he was coughing up his lungs.

Mo Youyou didn't care at all. She hadn't spent much time with Zhang Cuihua, and all her information about Zhang Cuihua came from Liu Dekai.

Liu Dekai once said that his mother used to be in poor health, but her health has improved a lot in recent years, and she is almost like an ordinary person.

She felt that Zhang Cuihua was faking it, and that the coughing was a sign of her guilt. Instead of patting her back to help her catch her breath, she continued to press for answers.

"Speak! Tell me now!"

"Did you lie to me or not? Did you and your son conspire to deceive me?!"

Zhang Cuihua coughed incessantly; it was quite frightening.

Su Yueya, who had originally intended to pretend not to know him, couldn't sit still any longer and quickly got out of bed and came over.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yueya habitually patted Zhang Cuihua's back to help her catch her breath; it was almost an unconscious reaction, and she didn't think much about it at all.

"Mom, are you alright? Are you okay?"

In a moment of desperation, the word "Mom" just slipped out of my mouth.

Zhang Cuihua was startled by this.

Mo Youyou was even more annoyed.

mom?

"Su Yueya, look carefully, this isn't your mother!" Mo Youyou said viciously, feeling that Su Yueya was utterly shameless.

Su Yueya was stunned; she hadn't meant to call him that.

It was purely an instinctive reaction at the time, after all, she had been calling me "Mom" for more than three years.

She lowered her head and remained silent.

Yes, Zhang Cuihua is neither her mother nor her mother-in-law; she was abandoned by the mother and son long ago.

Zhang Cuihua's feelings were even more complicated at this moment.

Judging from Su Yueya's reaction, she could confirm that Su Yueya had definitely regained her memory and guessed that Mo Youyou brought her to the hospital not for a physical examination, but to see Su Yueya.

Mo Youyou is testing her!

I wonder if my son knows yet...

But no matter what, for her son's future and marriage, she could not acknowledge Su Yueya.

“I’m not your mother, young man, don’t make up relatives randomly,” Zhang Cuihua said coldly after coughing.

She didn't even dare to meet Su Yueya's gaze.

He was afraid that if he took a look, he might reveal some flaw that would make Mo Youyou even more suspicious.

"Hmph!" Mo Youyou sneered.

Su Yueya: "..."

Although I have been thoroughly hurt—what could be more damaging than abandoning her, regardless of whether she lives or dies?

But now, facing that cold, hard remark about not randomly claiming relatives, Su Yueya still felt as if her heart had been squeezed tightly, and it hurt so much.

Compared to Liu Dekai, Su Yueya actually spent more time with Zhang Cuihua.

After all, Liu Dekai left on the night of his wedding, while Zhang Cuihua was someone she had genuinely cared for for three years.

Three years...

Su Yueya asked herself if she had done everything a daughter-in-law should do, but she still couldn't warm her mother-in-law's heart.

Whether it was abandoning her back then or denying her now, it was all done so easily.

She turned Su Yueya into a complete joke!

Su Yueya released Zhang Cuihua's hand, took two steps back, and said nothing.

But is Mo Youyou so easily fooled?

"Mom, Su Yueya already told the truth, are you still going to pretend?"

"You and your son, you're two scoundrels! You're still trying to deceive me even now!"

"Have you no shame at all?!"

Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua, this mother and son, truly broadened Mo Youyou's horizons.

She never knew that people could be so shameless!

Even when they were about to die and their lies were exposed, they still tried to deceive and manipulate her!

Mo Youyou had never been treated like this before, so even in front of Su Yueya, in a hospital ward, she had to get to the bottom of it.

"Youyou, don't worry, don't be angry, Mom can explain it to you!" Zhang Cuihua said nervously.

She couldn't ruin her son's future, so Mo Youyou had to appease him.

“Youyou, she’s a madwoman!” Zhang Cuihua said, pointing at Su Yueya.

Su Yueya: "..."

madman?

As expected of a mother and son, even their lies are identical when they lie and try to justify themselves.

She wanted to see what else Zhang Cuihua could say.

"Is that so?" Mo Youyou asked sarcastically.

She didn't believe that Su Yueya was crazy.

She can still tell stories and call for her mother, how does she seem like a madwoman?

“Yes, yes, yes,” Zhang Cuihua said repeatedly, seemingly oblivious to her daughter-in-law’s sarcastic tone. She continued to explain, “Youyou, I don’t know this friend of yours at all, and I don’t know Dekai either!”

In an attempt to quickly distance herself from the situation, she even began to belittle Su Yueya: "How could your friend randomly claim kinship with someone? Calling me 'Mom' to your face, isn't that deliberately trying to ruin your relationship with Dekai?!"

"Youyou, you're a smart girl, you can't fall for her tricks!"

“You,” Zhang Cuihua turned to Su Yueya and said her second sentence, “How could you do such a despicable thing, ruining someone’s marriage? You’ll be struck by lightning!”

Su Yueya: "..." That's great.

When I met my former mother-in-law again, the first thing she said to me was not to randomly claim relatives, and the second thing she said was not to be too immoral.

For a moment, Su Yueya didn't know what expression to make.

How can people be so cold-hearted?

She took care of Zhang Cuihua for three years, and she believed she had done her best. She never let her mother-in-law do the work she could do herself.
