"Auntie, don't be too sad, your child will be alright." The police officer really didn't know how to comfort her.

Anyone would be upset if they were in this mess. The worst part is that I heard the one who did it was the old lady's eldest daughter-in-law's brother.

These kinds of family disputes are the hardest to handle; who knows when they'll be resolved?

If we really give her peanuts, what will we do if the old lady makes a scene?

Whether or not this relationship can continue remains uncertain.

Comrade Gong felt worried.

"Officer, what do you think the police station will decide? My life has been miserable. I have no brothers to support me, my husband is dead, my eldest daughter didn't marry a good man, my eldest son is unfilial, and my eldest daughter-in-law is like this." Tao Ying murmured.

"Auntie, there's no hurdle in life that you can't overcome. You can't give up because of a little setback. Good fortune is yet to come," the police officer gently advised.

"Thank you, officer. I won't fall down. My eldest daughter is taking care of her daughter, my youngest son is in high school, and my youngest daughter will be in junior high soon. What will they do if I fall down?" Tao Ying sighed.

“That’s right, ma’am, just try to think positively about everything,” the police officer chimed in.

"Officer, how old are you? Are you married? I have several nice girls here, let me introduce you to them," Tao Ying said to the officer.

"Ma'am, no need, we've arrived at the hospital. Let me help you carry the child up." The police officer's scalp tingled instantly, and he quickly parked the car.

Like snatching someone away, they grabbed Wang Baoshan's arm and threw him onto their backs. Before Tao Ying could even get out of the car, she was already in the hospital.

Tao Ying rushed in, but when she got there, Wang Baoshan was already lying in his hospital bed.

"Officer, thank you so much. You go ahead with your work. I'll have my second son come over later," Tao Ying said politely.

"Okay, ma'am, I'll head back now." The police officer quickly agreed, worried that Tao Ying might try to introduce him to someone else.

Tao Ying busied herself for a while and completed the hospitalization procedures.

Wang Baoshan was also lying in a hospital bed, with an IV drip.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?" Tao Ying continued to play the role of a loving mother.

"No symptoms have been found yet; we'll have to do another check-up after the patient wakes up," the doctor said before leaving.

Tao Ying sighed, sat down beside Wang Baoshan's bed, and thoughtfully covered him with a quilt and tucked the corners in.

"Mom, Mom, I'm sweating so much!" Wang Baoshan felt like he was about to faint from the heat.

This ward was originally a large dormitory-style ward with more than a dozen beds inside, and the weather outside was 27 or 28 degrees Celsius.

The ventilation in the ward wasn't very good, and with so many people, the indoor temperature was probably around 30 degrees Celsius.

Wang Baoshan was so hot he couldn't keep up the act.

“I’ve already covered it up. If I suddenly lift it off, people will think I’m a stepmother. Why don’t you hold on a little longer?” Tao Ying whispered in Wang Baoshan’s ear.

"If you can't even hold on a little bit, Mom, do you want me to lift it myself?" Wang Baoshan was furious.

"Okay, okay, you're such a troublemaker. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Tao Ying took the blanket off Wang Baoshan, thought for a moment, and then covered Wang Baoshan's navel with a pillowcase.

Wang Baoshan “…”

"No, it's just that the back fall hurts a little," Wang Baoshan replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Your acting is pretty good, the way you fell scared me to death," Tao Ying praised softly.

"I really fell. I don't know what happened, my head just went blank and I just lay down. Mom, if this is detected during a checkup, they can't arrest me, right?" Wang Baoshan is still worried.

"Don't worry, if they can't find anything, just say they hit you on the head, that you're dizzy and nauseous," Tao Ying whispered, thinking that Wang Baoshan was just experiencing low blood sugar, thankfully nothing serious.

"Mom, are you really going to introduce a potential partner to the police officer?" Wang Baoshan asked in a low voice, relieved.

"Who would introduce him to me? It was your legs that were shaking like a leaf. I was afraid you'd give yourself away, so I tried to change the subject. Tell me, what kind of mentality do you have?" Tao Ying complained to Wang Baoshan in a low voice.

“I was just scared. Those are police officers. Mom, you’re amazing. You weren’t even afraid to lie to the police officers,” Wang Baoshan said softly.

“Of course. When you can’t answer someone’s question, you should ask a question to avoid the question. Learn from your mother.” Tao Ying’s voice carried a hint of pride.

"Mom, where did you get all these words?" Wang Baoshan couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at Tao Ying.

"We'll give ourselves away again soon." Tao Ying patted Wang Baoshan guiltily.

Wang Baoshan immediately closed his eyes.

"Can't I improve?" Tao Ying's voice carried a hint of anger.

"Mom, I was wrong. Mom, are you here to buy a house? We have enough room in our house, right? Are you thinking of buying one for my second brother?" Wang Baoshan's voice was a little cautious.

"Otherwise, what, were you supposed to find me a meal ticket?" Tao Ying said sarcastically.

"Mom~" Wang Baoshan protested.

"Alright, you're almost an adult, why are you acting all cute? It's disgusting. I'm not buying anything for anyone else, I just want to buy a shop. I'll be retiring in a few months, and then I'll do some small business. Otherwise, do you really expect your second brother to support you and Chun Tao?" Tao Ying explained to Wang Baoshan in a low voice.

The purpose was to tell the children that this money was their father's pension, and they had the right to know.

"Mom. You want to start your own business?" Wang Baoshan was shocked.

"What, do you think I'm embarrassing?" Tao Ying asked Wang Baoshan.

“What’s shameful about being an individual? As long as you make money, there’s nothing shameful about it. Besides, being an individual is legal now. I was just thinking that you’re retired and you’re still working so hard,” Wang Baoshan quickly explained.

"Don't worry. Retirement is the perfect time to make your mark. Once Mom's made it big, who knows, she might even be able to give you a chance to be a rich second-generation heir," Tao Ying said cheerfully.

"Okay, Mom, I'll wait." Wang Baoshan felt a warmth in his heart.

"Can't you just say you're trying your best to let me enjoy life?" Tao Ying said through gritted teeth.

"Mom, you said it yourself, this is the perfect time for you to make your way in the world, how could I take away your opportunity?" Wang Baoshan quickly begged for forgiveness.

"Mom will go buy you some wontons, you must be starving. Oh, and I need to ask for leave from school for you." Tao Ying thought that her child was so hungry that he had low blood sugar, so she decided not to nag anymore.

"What should I do about this IV drip?" Wang Baoshan also felt a headache coming on.

I have to ask for leave again after only two days of school.

"Take a look for yourself, I'm leaving now." Tao Ying said, not giving Wang Baoshan a chance to refuse.

Wang Baoshan “…”

Tao Ying went downstairs and first called Wang Baomin from the phone booth, asking him to go to the school to ask Wang Baoshan for leave before going to buy wontons.

As I slowly walked back to the ward, I heard arguing coming from inside.
