Husband didn...
Chapter 203 has already been heard.
The two went to the restroom. Li Banxia opened the doors of several stalls and looked inside, then shook her head at Sister-in-law Yao, "No one's there."
Sister-in-law Yao immediately locked the door from the inside.
The two stopped, and Sister-in-law Yao realized that Li Banxia had something to say to her alone.
"Auntie, is there something you're not comfortable saying to my mother-in-law?"
Li Banxia nodded, "Yao Yao was innocent in this disaster..."
She explained the situation, which was rather complicated but also quite simple: the man surnamed Zheng wanted her to retire on medical grounds, and the hospital staff, seeing her potential, were trying to pressure her into doing the same thing.
Sister-in-law Yao instantly exploded, her eyes filled with anger and her sneering relentless.
"They'll use any means necessary? Human lives are worthless in their eyes? My little sister is pregnant with twins, three lives! Don't they know that? You bastards! You think you're powerful just because you're a secretary, and nobody can touch you? You're such arrogant scoundrels!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not handling it well, and I've dragged Yao Yao into this."
Li Banxia looked guilty. "I had given them advance notice, and they all agreed, but I didn't expect... they would all shirk their responsibilities at the crucial moment."
Anger could no longer express her emotions; instead, she became increasingly calm.
Sister-in-law Yao hummed in agreement.
Looking at Li Banxia, she sighed softly, "I don't mean to blame Aunt Li. My younger sister has told me and her older brother many times that Aunt Li treats her like her own daughter. They've been too much of a bully. Don't worry, Aunt Li, our Yao family will never let this go. He's in the secretariat, and I'm in the investment promotion office, so I can't really do anything to him, but..."
A hint of malice flashed in Sister-in-law Yao's eyes. "There are many underhanded ways to bring someone down. Doesn't he like to do dirty tricks behind the scenes? I can do that too."
"You're right."
Li Banxia's eyes darkened. "I won't let this go easily with them. I'll just wait for Yao Yao to give birth safely..."
"Knock knock".
There was a knock on the bathroom door. Someone pushed it twice but couldn't open it. "Why can't you open it? Is anyone in there?"
The two women exchanged a glance, and Sister-in-law Yao called out, "Someone's here, please wait a moment."
The two paused for a moment, then turned on the tap before opening the door and going out.
Su Laoda ran to the hospital Li Banxia mentioned, but couldn't find anyone. By the time he rushed back, his wife had already given birth to their first child, a boy.
The nurse held him up and showed him, saying, "Five pounds and eighty centimeters."
A little while later, the second child was brought out, a little girl who weighed only five pounds.
"Mom needs to stay inside for a while for observation. You can take the child to the ward first, and someone will bring Mom there later."
Su Laoda didn't move and said, "I'll wait here for JianShu."
Li Banxia didn't move either. In the end, the child was carried over by Old Qiu's wife and Yao's mother together.
When the eldest son's wife was wheeled out, the doctor came out with her. He glanced around, saw Li Banxia, paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Comrade Li Banxia, I am Fan Qingfeng's classmate, Gao Da."
Upon hearing this, Li Banxia hurriedly went to greet him, "Dr. Gao, thank you so much. Without your timely help, we really don't know what would have happened. You are our family's benefactor."
Gao Da waved his hand and smiled, "You're too kind. You're a friend of Qingfeng's friend, so we're... friends too. Don't misunderstand, I meant that friendship doesn't discriminate by age or gender. Um, never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Gao Da gave an awkward laugh.
Li Banxia thanked him again and asked about the eldest son's wife.
Gao Da said, "If the mother has a good constitution, she can go back after a rest. With proper postpartum care, her body will recover quickly."
"Thank you, doctor."
Gao Da nodded slightly, his aloofness from the phone call vanished, and he walked away.
"Jianshu, you've worked so hard." Su Laoda's eyes were red as he touched his wife's hair, which was soaked with sweat, his eyes full of heartache.
The eldest daughter-in-law, pale-faced, called out to Guo-ge, "The doctor said both children look like me, sob, how can they both look like me? I'm not good-looking, I want them to look like you..."
As she spoke, tears began to fall.
Old Su quickly wiped her eyes with his hands, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry. Crying during postpartum confinement will make you blind. You are very beautiful. I fell in love with you at first sight."
The eldest son's wife looked at him and asked, "Really?"
"Really." Boss Su held up three fingers.
The eldest son's wife stopped crying and started laughing, "You're good at comforting me."
Seeing the young couple chatting and laughing, Li Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and asked her eldest son to push Yao Yao back to the ward. "Let Yao Yao rest for a while. I'll go outside to find a car and call your uncle. He's waiting for my call back."
Boss Su assumed he was there to deliver good news and smiled in agreement.
Upon receiving the news that the twins had been born safely and that his nephew's wife had also been safely transferred back to the ward, Brother Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he ask Li Banxia what exactly happened.
When he heard Li Banxia say that, his heart sank. He didn't even have time to ask her how the hospital could not have a doctor to deliver babies!
Li Banxia sighed and said, "It's a long story, let me summarize it for you briefly, brother..."
She started by talking about how she asked Lin Jiefang for money after her divorce, then went on to talk about how Secretary Zheng's niece was so love-struck that she insisted on marrying Lin Jiefang, and how Secretary Zheng had lost his mind and actually found a loophole to reduce Lin Jiefang's sentence. She then went on to talk about how Secretary Zheng threatened her by saying that sending Su Youfu to prison would ruin the future of several children, and that she couldn't reveal the truth, otherwise, both sides would suffer and both would perish.
In order to pass on what she had to her students, she postponed her medical retirement until the end of December, thinking that would be the end of it. Who knew that this group of people would interfere with her because of her eldest daughter-in-law giving birth, a life-threatening matter.
"...If it weren't for Yuanzhi's classmate picking us up in time, I really don't want to think about what would have happened."
Brother Li's entire body radiated murderous intent upon hearing this. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You're not going the same way, wouldn't telling your older brother just make you worry for nothing?"
Li Banxia finally had the mood to laugh. "Besides, I really thought things would be over once I agreed to take sick leave at the end of the month."
After saying that, the smile on his face disappeared.
"Fortunately, Yao Yao is alright. It's just a job in a medicinal herb warehouse. He won't ask me to retire due to illness, and I don't want to continue doing it anyway. I don't need those three melons and dates now. I just want my students to learn more."
"You..."
Li Banxia sighed, then, remembering something, instructed her elder brother, "Brother, don't tell Yuanzhi these things. Don't let him worry. Please thank him for me, and I'll thank him properly when he comes back."
Brother Li glanced at Song Yuanzhi, who was sitting upright with a solemn expression.
He said, "The person is right here with me; I've already heard it."
Li Banxia, "..."
She nodded, "Okay, then that's settled. You guys go ahead with your work. I'll go see Yao Yao. Big brother, you're a great-uncle now. Oh, remember to tell the second brother the news."
Hearing the busy signal coming from inside, Brother Li looked at Song Yuanzhi and said, "It's over."
Song Yuanzhi glanced at him sideways, "So she really got divorced?"
