“Nini’s mom, ever since you posted those stories about Ganxi Village online, I’ve really admired you! Your spirit of daring to venture into that hellish place is a role model for us women.”

So I think you're definitely not the kind of woman your former mother-in-law described. I also believe you must have your reasons for not letting your ex-husband see the children.

But I think you should also think about the child. Think about it, your daughter was abducted when she was little, and now she's sick. You're here 24/7, unable to leave even for a moment.

Putting aside the medical expenses, do you and your daughter even have a place to live? You are Nini's mother, but he is also Nini's father. Doesn't he have an obligation to pay for the child's medical treatment?

You're preventing him from seeing the child, and look what your ex-mother-in-law is saying about you! I can see it all; they clearly don't want to spend a single penny, but they're blaming you for not letting him see the child and for not accepting money from the child's family.

She's really trying to have her cake and eat it too. Ugh! Every time I see those videos your ex-mother-in-law posts online, my blood pressure spikes so high, even nitroglycerin can't bring it down!

The older sister served food with one hand and patted her chest with the other, continuing, "A daughter belongs to both of us. You put in the effort, so his family should pay for it!"

"Then your ex-mother-in-law will definitely find another excuse not to give you the money. Then you can post about it online and see if she'll still have the face to go out in public! It's infuriating!"

The older sister stomped her foot and ladled out a large spoonful of braised pork for her.

"Well, big sister, that's too much." Zhou Chunhua frowned as she looked at the mountain of braised pork on the plate.

The older sister put down her spoon, ladled out two boxes of soup, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to her, saying, "Taking care of a patient is tiring enough. If you don't eat more, where will you get the strength to punch your ex-mother-in-law and kick your ex-husband? Eat more, and beat them to a pulp!"

So, what she originally only wanted one box of food turned into two boxes when she received it.

"Thank you," Zhou Chunhua said awkwardly as she turned and left.

The older sister was still shouting at her from behind, "Go! Go, Nini's mom!"

Zhou Chunhua quickly turned around and gave her a polite smile.

Then someone questioned the woman: "We both bought a bowl of braised pork, why did you give me so much more, but I got so little?"

The older woman glared at her and said, "I'm happy to! It's none of your business! That's Nini's mother, a heroine who exposed the largest illegal organ smuggling case in the country! What's wrong with me giving her a little extra money?"

If you had that kind of skill, I'd treat you to meals every day! What else do you want? Hurry up, don't hold up the people behind you.

Indeed, after the older sister said that, the man didn't say anything more.

The way the eyes were following her made her feel very uncomfortable.

Zhou Chunhua ate her boxed lunch and walked out of the cafeteria.

After thinking for a while, I finally dialed Liao Nanxing's number.

To her surprise, Liao Nanxing answered the phone after only two rings.

You should know that before the divorce, if you called him ten times, he probably wouldn't answer even one of them.

The moment she opens her mouth, she either accuses him of disturbing his work or his rest.

That's strange now, they accepted it so quickly.

"Chunhua, what's wrong?" Liao Nanxing's voice was gentle and tender.

The hairs on Zhou Chunhua's arms stood up instantly.

"Liao Nanxing, what exactly does your mother want?" She didn't want to waste words and went straight to the point.

"My mom? What happened to my mom? Did she call you?" Liao Nanxing's voice was gentle and considerate.

"you do not know?"

"What do you know? No, I didn't give her your number. Where did she get your number?" Liao Nanxing said again, "Believe me, I really didn't give her your number. Don't worry, I'll call her right now and tell her to stop causing you trouble."

After he finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Liao Nanxing whispered again, "How is Nini?"

Zhou Chunhua sneered: "You don't know? If you hadn't taught her, would she have been able to post those things online?"

You should know that Xu Xiuzhen used to use an old-fashioned mobile phone!

When she goes out to buy things, she almost never uses QR codes; she uses paper money instead!

How could someone like her possibly understand how to post videos online without being taught?

As soon as she finished speaking, Liao Nanxing's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chunhua, believe me, I really didn't teach her these things. But what exactly did she post online that made you so angry?"

"Really? Then please tell her that whatever she wants to do, I'll see it through! And please also tell her that if she really pushes me too far, none of us will have a peaceful day!"

"Don't be angry, I promise..."

Before Liao Nanxing could finish speaking, Zhou Chunhua hung up the phone.

She put her phone back in her pocket, composed herself, and then pushed open the door to the ward.

The doctor said that Nini couldn't get emotionally agitated, so even if the sky were to fall, she couldn't let Nini feel the slightest bit of unease.

Upon entering the ward, Nini was drawing by the window.

Since the experts Gu Yao found devised a treatment plan for his daughter, Nini has been getting better day by day.

Although he still doesn't speak much, at least his eyes are no longer empty.

She walked over, opened the lunchbox on the coffee table, gently patted Nini's head, and said, "Eat first, then you can draw."

Nini looked up at her, then at the lunchbox on the table.

Zhou Chunhua smiled and said, "There's braised pork."

Nini then put down her colored pencils and sat down.

Zhou Chunhua tidied up the colored pencils on the table and also glanced at Nini's drawings.

The colors remained as somber as ever.

The doctor said that children who have suffered psychological trauma often draw pictures like this.

Although she was disappointed, she followed the doctor's advice and tried to communicate with Nini whenever she had the chance.

So, taking advantage of this, she said, "Our Nini's paintings are really beautiful."

When Nini turned around and looked over, Zhou Chunhua was overjoyed.

At that moment, Gu Yao walked in.

She put Nini's drawings and colored pencils away and added a chair next to the coffee table.

"I was just about to call you and ask you to come home for dinner."

Gu Yao put his briefcase on the ground, sat down, and took the chopsticks she handed him.

"Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Zhou Chunhua paused in her movements.

"Let's hear... the good news first."

These past few days have been filled with one terrible thing after another, and she desperately needs something to encourage her to keep going.

After saying that, she turned around and made Gu Yao a cup of tea, placing it on the coffee table.

Gu Yao smiled slightly at her and said, "We can bring Tongtong back now."

"Really?" Zhou Chunhua asked in disbelief.

"Of course. With the documents I have here, I can bring Tongtong back."
