Some say that you shouldn't pry too much into your partner's life; good marriages are about each person living their own life, and absolute fidelity doesn't exist.

Act out the play you're supposed to act out, play dumb when you're supposed to play dumb, reconcile when you're supposed to reconcile, and make connections when you're supposed to make connections.

Marriage is a partnership; whoever opens their eyes first loses.

So... Zhou Chunhua decided to be the one who wins with her eyes wide open!

"Zhou Chunhua! What exactly do you want? Instant noodles! Instant noodles! Who eats instant noodles three times a day, every single meal?"

Zhou Chunhua snapped out of her daze and burst out laughing.

"You don't want to eat instant noodles? Didn't you say it's nutritious to eat like this? Didn't you say you didn't have enough to eat when you were young? When you're sick, you have to eat well! You have to eat nutritious food!"

Seeing her mother-in-law gritting her teeth but not daring to lash out, she felt relieved.

But... this is nothing!

She toiled half her life, and what was the result? She's almost fifty, and her husband has been having an affair!

Zhou Chunhua wasn't this crazy three days ago.

For over twenty years of marriage, she gritted her teeth and remained a well-known filial daughter-in-law.

Managing household chores and being filial to elders—which of these is not done well?

What was she after? Wasn't it Liao Nanxing's love for her and his loyalty to their marriage?

Now that all of that has vanished, what else does she have to worry about?

Hearing her mother-in-law grinding her molars, she happily put a piece of braised pork belly into her mouth.

Do you want her to suffer in silence, to swallow her pride and bear the pain?

No way!

She had to let Liao Nanxing know that when a woman goes crazy, men have no chance!

“Xiao Zhou! Eating instant noodles every day would make even a healthy person sick. Let alone your mother-in-law who is ill! If you don’t want to cook, you can get a meal from the hospital cafeteria! It’s not expensive, only twelve yuan! Your Xiao Liao is a university professor, it’s not like he can’t make money!”

Zhou Chunhua turned to look at the elderly woman lying on the next bed, her expression unchanged.

"Aunt Wang, when I was in postpartum confinement, my mother-in-law said that instant noodles were the most nutritious! I ate them three times a day for twenty-eight days, a whole three boxes of instant noodles!"

Besides, I've been serving her here day and night for seven days! But what about her son? He only showed up twice in ten days! In total, that's no more than 10 minutes.

She's still traveling with her mistress right now! I'm being kind by not giving her spicy instant noodles instead!

Aunt Wang looked shocked: "Bed 36, is what your daughter-in-law said true? I don't know about others, but if this happened to me, I'd tear the roof off and use it as firewood, and I'd get a divorce immediately! That Xiao Zhou actually brought you a bowl of instant noodles so you wouldn't starve, he really has a conscience!"

"Auntie, anyone who gets divorced is a fool! I'm forty-seven this year, not some young girl who can find true love again. If I get divorced now, wouldn't I have served their family for over twenty years for nothing? Besides, as long as I don't get divorced, that mistress will always just be a mistress! She'll have to call me 'sister' when she sees me!"

Also, my husband is fifty-three and still has a lot of health problems. In a couple of years, when he's doing a circling with his left foot and a kick with his right, and he's making a six with his left hand and a seven with his right, hey! I'll put him in a wheelchair and push him around every day to watch me dance in the square with other old men.

In winter, I dress him in short sleeves to keep him warm, and in summer, I dress him in a padded coat to keep him warm. On rainy days, I take him out to bask in the sun, and on snowy days, I take him out to see the snow. If he's hungry, I take out his dentures and give him anything hard to eat.

In short, if you can't kill them, kill them as much as possible!

Aunt Wang touched her nose, and the contempt in her eyes was replaced by sympathy.

Just as the atmosphere became extremely awkward, a young nurse walked in.

"Bed 36, your son has moved you back to a single room. Family members, hurry up and pack your things. What are you doing? You were only moved out of a single room three days ago, and now you're back. What's all this fuss about?"

Seeing her mother-in-law's smirk, which was harder to suppress than an AK, Zhou Chunhua put away the unfinished boxed lunch.

"So you've finally decided to come back! This concubine will have to meet the wife sooner or later! Perfect, I'll make a cup of tea and wait for her to kneel down and kowtow as a formal entrance ceremony!"

The young nurse looked at her, puzzled, then turned and left.

Aunt Wang next to her gave her a thumbs up.
