"Mom! Can you please stop talking! If you hadn't insisted that Su Mu come to live at our house, none of this would have happened!"

"What do you mean I have to? You can't control your wife at home, and you're blaming me? Am I wrong to worry about you? I didn't agree to you marrying her in the first place! Look at that old saying, 'Those who don't listen to the elders will suffer the consequences!' You've already learned your lesson once, and now I'm teaching you, but you still won't listen! Are you trying to make me angry?!"

Liao Nanxing didn't reply. He got into the driver's seat and rubbed his temples, looking troubled.

If things get so chaotic in just one day, how can there be any peace in the future?

...

At the hospital.

Su Mu pulled Liao Nanxing and cried out that his stomach hurt.

Liao Nanxing followed anxiously by her side, comforting her while staying by her side throughout the examination.

As a result, the tedious tasks of paying fees, submitting forms, and picking up test results all fell on Xu Xiuzhen's shoulders.

After running back and forth between the fourth floor, the second floor, and the first floor several times, Xu Xiuzhen was panting heavily, her legs trembling, as she leaned against the wall.

She had been to the hospital countless times.

But this is the first time I've ever had such an extraordinary experience.

She was so exhausted that she didn't even have the energy to curse.

It's all Zhou Chunhua's fault! It's all Zhou Chunhua's fault!

If she had been as obedient as before, it would be Zhou Chunhua running around here today!

How could I possibly suffer like this!

The thought that she had almost worked herself to death here while the culprit Zhou Chunhua was sleeping at home made her furious!

The test results in my hand crumpled up without me even realizing it.

Back in the ward, after handing the test results to the doctor, Xu Xiuzhen kept asking, "Doctor, is the baby in her belly really okay?"

This is the grandson she has been longing for for many years; she can't afford any mishaps.

The attending physician had repeated the words "Based on the test results, there are no problems" for the fifth time.

Xu Xiuzhen blocked the way: "If there's no problem, why would she complain of a stomachache?"

"Sir, I've told you many times already. The test results show there's nothing wrong!" Then he glanced meaningfully in the direction of the hospital bed.

"If you're worried, stay in the hospital for a while longer observation." After saying that, he left the ward despite being stopped.

Xu Xiuzhen sensed a different meaning in the doctor's eyes.

She stared at Su Mu for a long time. Could it be that... Su Mu was faking a stomachache?

What was the purpose? Just because I made breakfast?

Liao Nanxing, who had just called her supervisor to ask for leave and looked exhausted, hung up the phone and returned to her ward from the balcony before she came to her senses.

At this moment, Liao Nanxing felt overwhelmed and exhausted.

However, he still had to gently reassure Su Mu: "I've also asked for leave for you. Take a good rest and get well first."

Su Mu nodded, closed his eyes, and lay down.

Xu Xiuzhen, however, was dissatisfied: "Son, a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. Why do you always ask for leave? You should go back to school. I can take care of Mumu here."

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with anxiety, like a fawn's.

"Don't worry, I won't leave." Liao Nanxing affectionately stroked Su Mu's forehead: "Are you tired? Close your eyes and sleep for a while."

Xu Xiuzhen frowned, got up, and said she was going to buy breakfast for Liao Nanxing before leaving the ward.

Everyone says raising children is for old age security, but what about her son? She's running around like crazy, and he hasn't even offered a word of concern!

From the moment Su Mu got in the car to the hospital, she didn't even put her feet down once. What was she tired of? What was she tired of!

Growing increasingly angry, Xu Xiuzhen pushed open the fire door, walked into the stairwell, and frantically tapped the screen with her phone.

After the beeping sound, Zhou Chunhua's lazy voice came from the other end.

"You're still sleeping? I'm giving you half an hour to get to the hospital right now!"

"I'm busy."

The two simple and clear words immediately ignited Xu Xiuzhen's passion.

She instantly shed the facade of her professor mother's highly educated identity and began to trace Zhou Chunhua's family history back five thousand years, with her mother at the center and relatives and friends as the radius.

Until the busy tone came from the other end...

"I'm so angry! Do they really think I, Xu Xiuzhen, am someone to be trifled with?" She slammed her phone screen shut and dialed again.

When the call connected, Xu Xiuzhen started cursing and jumping around in front of the phone, even more so than those middle-aged women who kept saying "retreat, retreat, retreat."

Finally, disheveled and utterly undignified, she demanded, "Zhou Chunhua! I order you to get to the hospital right now! Immediately! Otherwise, I'll make sure you never have a moment's peace for the rest of your life!"

"Okay. But you asked me to go."

Hearing that the other end had given in, Xu Xiuzhen felt much better. She ordered Zhou Chunhua to prepare lunch and bring it over before hanging up the phone.

He patted his heart, which was throbbing slightly from anger, and muttered to himself smugly, "You really thought I couldn't handle you!"

As long as Zhou Chunhua is still labeled as a daughter-in-law, she will never escape her control.

This way.

Zhou Chunhua glanced at her phone screen with a half-smile.

Cooking is not allowed, but when the wife visits her lover, the proper formalities must be observed.

After making several phone calls, I finally stretched and got up to wash up.

At the hospital, Xu Xiuzhen carefully prepared and selected breakfast for her son before returning to the inpatient building.

She had just stepped into the elevator when two deliverymen carrying flower baskets squeezed in behind her, and she couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.

After all, many people send flowers to hospitals to treat patients, but sending a large standing flower basket like this, which is usually only used for store openings, is quite novel.

But... that abundance of chrysanthemums is just too unlucky.

"Sending chrysanthemums to a patient? Doesn't the flower delivery person know anything about this? Doesn't the flower seller know anything about this either? It's really a mess!" She shook her head.

The delivery guy turned around, looking gossipy: "Auntie, you don't understand. Mistresses and chrysanthemums are the perfect match."

Xu Xiuzhen looked at the red silk in the young man's hand and saw that it read, "The legal wife comforts the concubine on behalf of her husband."

She immediately covered her mouth, but still couldn't help laughing out loud: "I thought the jokes on my phone were just jokes. I never thought I'd actually encounter one."

The other people in the elevator were also discussing the matter with expressions of anticipation.

Some say that men only behave when they are hung on the wall.

Some say that women are shameless and actively seduce married men.

The high-speed elevator runs fast and quickly reached the 12th floor.

The door opened, and the delivery guy and she got off the elevator together.

They carried the flower baskets and walked towards the general ward area at the other end of the corridor.

"He stays in a regular hospital room, yet he still has money to play around with women! Tsk tsk tsk." Xu Xiuzhen clicked her tongue and shook her head, her face full of disdain.
