Chapter 245 Chapter 9

As soon as Xu Junjun entered the door, she saw this scene and immediately screamed, "Mother!"

Xu Shanshan subconsciously let go of her hand.

Xu Junjun staggered over and managed to catch her mother, who collapsed.

Xu Junjun looked up, her face already streaked with tears. "Shanshan, what happened?"

"What happened between you and your mother... what's wrong between you and your mother?"

Where have you been these past few days?

"My mother and I were so worried, you know?"

After saying that, Xu Junjun shook her mother in her arms again, "Mother, Mother..."

Seeing Xu Junjun's tearful face, Xu Shanshan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think her behavior every day is too strange?"

Xu Junjun didn't understand, and looked up in confusion with tears in her eyes.

"She's so young, and before her father's accident, she was quite pampered. How could her health deteriorate so much all of a sudden?"

Xu Junjun still looked puzzled.

"Shanshan, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"And where exactly did you go?"

"I went on a long trip!"

"I want to say that she's faking it, her purpose is to escape responsibility, the responsibility of squandering money, and incidentally, to make you work with me."

Xu Junjun immediately shook her head, "...You, you shouldn't say that about Mother. Mother didn't want to be sick either. When Mother gave birth to you and me, no one helped her take care of the children. She developed a weak constitution during her postpartum period. Later, the two concubines that Father married liked to upset her, which made her health deteriorate day by day."

Xu Junjun seemed to be trying to convince herself, and also to convince Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan was speechless. "No one to take care of the baby during postpartum confinement? But she has maids at home to serve her, doesn't she?"

"Did the concubine anger her?"

"It's not that Father always likes to stay in those two concubines' rooms at night, but during the day, those two concubines really dare to take advantage of her?"

“Ke Niang…”

"Besides, have you forgotten how old she is this year?" Xu Shanshan spoke again before giving her a chance to speak.

Xu Junjun was speechless, "Mother... mother..."

Xu Junjun couldn't say anything more about her mother.

Xu Shanshan added, "That day you made pork crackling dumplings just for her alone. Do you think she doesn't know what's going on?"

"She knew it, but she pretended not to know."

“She always knew exactly what was going on, but she always said that I couldn’t bear to eat it, and that you two sisters should eat it. In fact, she never didn’t eat it, did she?”

Xu Junjun just kept shaking her head with tears streaming down her face.

Xu Shanshan thought that if she hadn't been reborn, if she were still the eighteen-year-old Xu Shanshan, she probably wouldn't have been able to see through this matter.

The fact is...

"For her, you and I are her old-age security, not as important as her maternal family, much less as important as her father. If she had given birth to a son earlier, do you think she would still act this way?"

"Lying in bed, feeling uncomfortable day and night, either crying or howling, constantly taking medicine?"

"She's just being unhappy, so she's finding ways to torment us!"

Next year, after their father passes away, this heartless mother will hang herself in this room with a rope to follow her man.

Xu Junjun's tears fell even faster. "Shanshan, you...you mustn't say that. I...let's take Mom to the hospital first, okay?"

Xu Shanshan looked at her mother, who was still unconscious, and helped Xu Junjun. The two sisters took her to the nearest hospital.

After the doctor's examination, he said that the patient was just a little malnourished and suggested that the patient improve their nutrition.

Another point is that "patients should not lie down for long periods of time, as malnutrition and muscle atrophy can have a significant impact on their health."

"It is recommended that patients go out more often and get more sunshine, which is good for their health."

While the doctor was saying these things in the ward, Xu's mother was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed.

Xu Shanshan didn't know if Xu Junjun was awake or if she had heard clearly, but at least Xu Junjun had heard clearly.

After the doctor left, Xu Junjun was quite happy. "Does the doctor mean... that Mom's health is alright?"

Xu Shanshan thought for a moment and said, "No, at the very least... it would be dangerous to continue lying in bed like this."

Xu Junjun immediately said, "It's okay, I'll accompany Mom for walks more often in the future!"

Xu's mother woke up in the evening after Xu Shanshan returned home.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Xu Junjun immediately sat down by her bedside, took her hand, and happily told her, "Mom, the doctor at the hospital said that you're fine, and you just need to get more sun exposure."

Xu's mother looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and the needle in the back of her hand, where an IV drip was still being administered.

He immediately demanded angrily, "Where is this?"

"Who told you to bring me here?"

Then she cursed, "How could I have given birth to two such troublesome devils? One of you dares to hit your own mother, and the other wants to kill your own mother."

As she spoke, she shoved Xu Junjun hard.

Xu Junjun was sitting right next to the bed when she was suddenly pushed to the ground.

She started pulling out the needle from her hand, and due to improper operation, a lot of blood came out.

Upon seeing the blood, Xu's mother's eyes immediately turned red. "You damned debt collector, do you want my life?"

"You...you're so young, yet you're so vicious," she said, her finger trembling as she pointed at Xu Junjun, who was sitting on the ground, not covering her own hand, letting the blood spill out.

“I’m telling you, you’re so vicious, you won’t get a good retribution, you won’t get a good retribution.”

There was another person in the same ward who came back after eating and saw this scene, so he immediately called the nurse in.

Upon seeing this, the nurse immediately demanded, "What are you doing?"

As he spoke, he rushed to Xu's mother's side, looked at her bleeding hand, and then at the dripping needle, and asked, "Who told you to pull out the needle?"

Xu's mother immediately put her hands behind her back, "You...you don't need to worry about this. We're not going to be treated here. We're leaving right away. Take this medicine away. You're putting all sorts of weird stuff into people's bodies. If it causes problems, can you take responsibility?"

Having been a wealthy woman for several years, Xu's mother was still quite sharp-tongued when she confronted people.

Upon hearing this, the nurse didn't dare to suggest giving her another injection, so she looked at Xu Junjun, who had fallen to the ground, and asked, "So, are you still going to hang the IV here?"

As he spoke, he reached out and helped Xu Junjun, who had fallen to the ground, up.

Xu Junjun was already choking up, "Mother, we've already paid the money."

“Make them come back,” Xu’s mother said, turning her face away.

Xu Junjun was at a loss.

The nurse immediately retorted, "This medication, which has already been prescribed, cannot be returned."

Xu's mother still covered the back of her hand, saying, "Then I won't hang it up!"

Then, before seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Shanshan was boiling water on the stove when Xu Junjun helped her mother back.

Upon seeing the two arrive home, Xu Shanshan stood there with a frown.

Xu Junjun took the initiative to explain, "Mother... Mother said she doesn't want to stay in the hospital."

Xu's mother glared at Xu Shanshan with hatred, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth, "Was it you who instigated your sister to take me to the hospital?"

How could you be such a beast?

"What sins did I commit in my past life to give birth to such a beast as you?"

“Xu Shanshan, let me tell you, you won’t get away with this.”
