"Did your sisters-in-law say something again? Give them the phone, I'll talk to them." Tie Dan was furious. He wouldn't stand for his wife being bullied while he was away.

"I'll put it on speakerphone, you can speak."

"Sister-in-law, if you have any problems, come to me, don't go to my wife. Junjun and Zhuangzhuang are the ones I brought to the hospital. You two are so stupid, you've ruined your children. Why are you bullying my Yuanyuan!" Tiedan shouted angrily. If he couldn't even protect his wife, would he still be a man?

When he got married, he promised Tang Yuanyuan's father that he would never let her suffer any grievances. A man's word is his bond, and he remembered the captain's teachings.

“We wouldn’t dare bully your wife. We’re speaking in hushed tones so as not to frighten her. What exactly happened to Junjun and Zhuangzhuang? What did the doctor say?” Sister-in-law Niu stopped being stubborn and started to care about the children.

"The results aren't out yet, we'll talk about it tonight. If you have nothing to do, go work in the fields. Don't keep talking to my Yuanyuan. You two don't see eye to eye. Yuanyuan is a college student; you won't understand what she's saying." Tiedan directly told them to leave.

Tangyuan turned her head away, a slight smile playing on her lips. She immediately felt no longer angry, but rather sweet.

Many people say that her marriage to Tiedan is like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. Tiedan is neither good-looking nor capable, his family is extremely poor, and he didn't even finish elementary school. He has no redeeming qualities. Everyone says that Tang Yuanyuan was acting impulsively and will regret it later.

But almost all of her friends who were initially criticized ended up with messy marriages. She, who was least favored, is happy and content. Apart from some trivial troubles in her hometown, she has no worries. Tiedan always goes along with her, hands over all his salary and dividends, and only needs 500 yuan for pocket money each month. He doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble. His only pleasure is eating. Coincidentally, Tangyuanyuan also likes to cook. They cook and eat together, which is very harmonious.

Sister-in-law Niu and Sister-in-law Niu were furious and couldn't help but retort, "Tie Dan, you only have an elementary school education, how can you talk to your wife?"

"I know how to praise my wife, but you guys don't. I'm not talking to you anymore."

Tie Dan hung up the phone, not giving Sister-in-law Niu a chance to object. The dishes he ordered arrived, and eating was the most important thing.

The two sisters-in-law were ashen-faced, angry at being belittled by Tiedan and worried about their son's health. Their hearts were like a jumble of seasonings, a mixture of sour, bitter, and spicy flavors, leaving them feeling terrible.

When Tie Dan's mother heard that her grandson was sick, she lost her appetite and couldn't even cook. Tang Yuanyuan took over and finished making lunch. Niu Dazhu returned with Roubing and his sister, who were covered in sweat. As soon as he entered the station, he saw the three of them, looking dejected. Tang Yuanyuan was setting out lunch and was stunned when she saw the two dark-skinned siblings.

Meatball was wearing dark clothes, so you couldn't tell when they got dirty. Meat Bun, on the other hand, was wearing a pink and white dress with matching stockings, which were now completely black and covered in grass seeds and withered grass. Her carefully braided braids had come undone, and one of her hairs had fallen out, leaving her all disheveled.

Roubao's rosy face has turned into a big mess, covered in streaks, and even its lips have turned black. Roubing is the same; they've all become little black people.

"Did you go up the mountain to dig coal?" Tang Yuanyuan was both annoyed and amused. She dragged the two siblings to the tap to wash them and then discovered that Roubao's gauze skirt, which cost more than a thousand yuan, had a big hole in it. It must have been torn by a tree branch on the mountain.

Tang Yuanyuan sighed with disappointment. She should have brought some cheaper clothes instead. She should have asked Ya Dan to buy some cotton children's clothes in the city later.

Tie Dan returned home that evening with a grave expression. The whole family was waiting for him, watching expectantly as he pulled out the medical report.
