After Xia Bao dragged Lu Ya away, the mother and son went straight home.

"Mom, it's just like I said. My cousin's wife didn't deceive me or try to harm me. If you hadn't come today, my cousin's wife and I wouldn't have known each other's identities."

Lu Ya had her own set of logic, and her rebuttal was very logical and persuasive.

“Baby, it’s only because you’re so naive that you didn’t hear Su Wantang say, ‘Let me introduce myself, I’m your cousin-in-law.’ She must have known your identity all along. She couldn’t deal with me, an elder, so she set her sights on you.”

"Why would your cousin-in-law want to get back at you? Mom, are you doing something behind my back?" Xia Bao knew how to get to the heart of the matter.

Lu Ya didn't think she had done anything wrong and said frankly, "Your maternal grandfather opened a pharmacy for Su Wantang. Since you don't have a job, I discussed it with your uncle and we decided to let Su Wantang hand over the pharmacy to your aunt to run. Then you can just register your name in the store and won't have to go to the countryside anymore."

"Mom?" Xia Bao was shocked. "Who told you that Grandpa funded the opening of the pharmacy? My third uncle, third aunt, and cousin from Huai'an don't seem like people who don't have money."

Lu Ya thought about it and agreed, her tone hesitant: "So what if he has money? Does that mean your grandfather can't contribute?"

Knowing her own mother well, Xia Bao didn't argue with her about this, but asked instead, "Then why did you take your aunt to the store? And why did your aunt's face look like that?"

Lu Ya stammered and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, a thought suddenly flashed through Xia Bao's mind.

"Mom, you didn't deliberately bring my aunt to the store and then accuse my cousin's wife of selling fake medicine, forcing her to give the store to my aunt?"

"No!" Lu Ya retorted sharply.

Xia Bao gritted her teeth: "So that's it?"

"Mom, are you confused?!" Xia Bao exclaimed in exasperation. "How many times have I told you not to get involved in the Lu family's affairs, and to get closer to Third Aunt? Why can't you—"

"Cough cough cough."

When he got excited, Xia Bao coughed until his face turned as white as snow.

"Baby, Mom will listen to whatever you say. Don't worry, don't get angry, your life is important!"

Xia Bao gasped for breath several times before finally speaking: "I've made it clear to my uncle and aunt that I'm not doing this!"

"Baby, I—"

“My cousin’s wife said that if you don’t make a fuss, she’ll provoke me, and I won’t have to go to the countryside.”

"But Mom and your uncle made an agreement, and I asked your uncle for help with this."

beg?

With his mother's personality, she's only good for being used as a tool.

“It’s not that my uncle didn’t help. Besides, after today’s incident, do you think you can still scheme against my cousin’s wife? Even if you could, do you think my trip to the countryside could be delayed any longer?”

"Okay, Mom will talk to your uncle."

"Apologize to my cousin's wife!"

Lu Ya frowned: "Baby, Mom is an elder."

“I’ve already called my cousin-in-law ‘Grandma,’ so you’ve also called her ‘Auntie’. You’ve lost all face and dignity.”

Lu Ya: "......"

My own son! And he's sickly! I can't hit him! I can't get angry!

"I'll tell your third aunt."

Xia Bao insisted: "No, you must sincerely apologize to my cousin's wife."

Seeing that Lu Ya was still unwilling, Xia Bao played her trump card: "Mom, my cousin-in-law said that my illness can be cured."

Lu Ya's shrill voice pierced the roof: "What did you say?"

"Is she lying to you? She dared to deceive you, I'll go and tear her mouth apart right now!"

"Mom, don't get agitated. I already told you, my cousin-in-law just pressed it a couple of times and I felt much better. And if you don't believe me, go ask Dr. Liu if I haven't gotten my medication recently. I've been having these flare-ups all thanks to the little tricks my cousin-in-law taught me."

"Nonsense! What if something happens? You'll have to ask Mom—" Lu Ya raised her arm, but in the end, she couldn't bear it and gently patted Xia Bao's back.

"You swear you didn't lie to Mom?"

"If I were to lie to you, I'd get hit by a car as soon as I step outside—"

Lu Ya quickly covered Xia Bao's mouth: "Ptooey! My son must live to be a hundred!"

It's about taking her life!

"You stay home and rest. Mom will go to your uncle's house to explain things."

Xia Bao was a little worried and insisted on going along.

Since they wanted to apologize, they couldn't go empty-handed. So the two went to the Friendship Store, and as they went in, they happened to bump into Huo Jun, who was chasing after them as he came out.

The enormous impact sent Xia Bao sprawling to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his chest as if being gnawed by insects, and he began to cough violently.

"Baby!" Lu Ya's eyes bulged with bloodshot veins.

As she helped Xia Bao up, she took off her high heels and angrily threw them at Huo Jun.

At the same time, he shouted loudly.

"Help! Someone's been murdered in the street!"

People in this era are quite enthusiastic; upon hearing this, they immediately surrounded Huo Jun.

Huo Jun frowned deeply, and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​pursuing Song Wanying and deal with the thorny issue at hand.

"Comrade, I was in a hurry and accidentally bumped into you, but it's definitely not as serious as you're calling murder. And don't even think about trying to blackmail me. Otherwise, if you report this to the military, you'll be in deep trouble!"

"Baby, don't be afraid, Mom is here." Lu Ya, who was still comforting Xia Bao, became even angrier when she heard this.

"Who cares about your pittance? You want to report me to the military? You think you're so great just because you're a soldier and have connections there? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my son, I won't let your military leaders get away with it."

Huo Jun's pupils contracted sharply.

Who is this person? Why is he so confident?

He immediately changed his authoritative tone: "Comrade, don't worry, let me make a call first, let's get this young man to the hospital first."

"Then hurry up and go! I'm telling you, don't even think about running! I'll remember your face. If you dare to run, I'll go to the military region and catch you one by one!"

Huo Jun was even more alarmed, and he strode away.

"Mom, I'm fine, it's just that my chest hurts a little."

After carefully examining Xia Bao, Lu Ya finally believed him. She had just witnessed Xia Bao stopping her from moving and not taking any medicine; he had just pressed on her arm.

Su Wantang is a capable person.

Lu Ya's eyes flickered, as if she were deep in thought.

The group went to the hospital to make sure everything was alright before they felt relieved.

Lu Ya and her son did not go to Lu Yuanzhou's house again, but went home instead.

We can go anytime; Xia Bao's health is the most important thing.

After all that fuss, Song Wanying had long since disappeared, so Huo Jun had to give up his search.

But he felt inexplicably uneasy.

After thinking it over, he borrowed the money and went back to the Friendship Store to get the jewelry set that Sun Qian had previously taken a liking to.

He went to the military family compound again and asked Sun Qian to come out.

Afterwards, the two went to see a movie.

When Sun Qian came out of the movie theater, her face was flushed and she had a hint of coquettishness in her eyes.

Huo Jun's anxious heart calmed down a little.

One night passed.

As soon as Su Wantang opened her eyes in the morning, she exuded an aura of resentment.

Turning off the lights to sleep is fine, but why say something so ambiguous? It made her wait in vain.

This man is sleeping soundly!

"Tangtang, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early for the family reunion banquet."

Instantly, Su Wantang's dissatisfaction vanished, replaced by uncontrollable excitement.
