"How could your mother let Jingjing and that nasty little hooligan go like that?"
Ruan Xiaotang stood by the window with an angry face, his eyes fixed on the direction of the main room, and his ears carefully listening to any sound coming from inside.
Zhou Jingjing's hurried figure suddenly flashed past her eyes.
Looking at Zhou Jingjing's back as she walked away quickly, Ruan Xiaotang couldn't help but feel an impulse in her heart: she wanted to rush out the door immediately, grab Zhou Jingjing, and persuade her earnestly not to make the same mistake again.
However, just as her hand was about to touch the door handle, Zhou Jingjing's cold words were like a basin of icy water, instantly extinguishing the flame of passion that had just ignited in her heart.
"There is no good person in this family!"
Hearing these words, Ruan Xiaotang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her heart instantly turned cold.
She leaned weakly against the door, her body slowly sliding down as if she had lost all strength to support herself.
The sound of Zhou Jingjing's footsteps was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart again and again, until the sound became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely in this yard and this home.
Zhou Xingze's mood was also extremely bad.
He sat on the stool listlessly like a deflated ball, his head drooped, his face full of frustration and loss, his emotions had fallen to the bottom.
Feeling upset, Zhou Xingze began to pull his thick black hair roughly, as if only this could slightly relieve the boredom and pain in his heart.
Seeing Zhou Xingze so depressed, Ruan Xiaotang also felt uncomfortable.
She knew that after experiencing the incident tonight, no one in the family would be able to feel at ease.
So, she walked silently to Zhou Xingze's side, gently put her arm on his shoulders, and said softly: "How about...you go out now and try to persuade Jingjing, and find a way to bring her back to our home safely."
"She and Zhao Xiaohu left the house and turned left or right. I don't know. How can I find them?"
"But your mother was angry and said some cruel words in her heart, which is understandable, but you are Jingjing's siblings, can you just stay out of it? You knew it was a pit of fire, but you let her jump into it, how can you bear it!"
Zhou Xingze suddenly raised his head and looked at Ruan Xiaotang, flashing a bitter smile, "Do you know why our mother let Zhou Jingjing, that damn girl, go so easily?"
Ruan Xiaotang saw tears in his eyes and her heart tightened. This was exactly what she wanted to know.
He asked, "Why?"
Zhou Xingze turned his face away, and his already cold face seemed to be frozen in an instant.
"That damned girl held an extremely sharp knife in her hand, the blade flashing with cold light, and held it tightly against her neck. Her eyes were wide open, her gaze fierce, and she kept shouting, 'You must promise me today that your mother will sever ties with me and have nothing to do with this family from now on! Otherwise...'"
Ruan Xiaotang, who was standing nearby, was so shocked when she heard this that she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is she out of her mind? How could she do such a ridiculous thing!"
As if this was not enough to express her inner shock, Ruan Xiaotang shook her head vigorously and muttered to herself: "It's unbelievable that I actually heard such words coming out of her mouth with my own ears!"
You know, this is an era that emphasizes reality and rationality, but I didn't expect that there are still "love-brained" people like her who are so deeply in love and can't extricate themselves.
Just for the man who was not worthy of entrusting her life to, she was willing to gamble with her future and reputation, and even turn against her family.
Ruan Xiaotang thought about her stubborn and willful appearance, and any remaining sympathy she had for her disappeared in an instant.
After all, such a desperate and reckless behavior is so stupid and reckless that it is difficult for anyone to feel sympathy for it.
Comfortingly, he held Zhou Xingze's head gently in his arms.
"Your mother is okay...I hope she is not too angry or upset."
Zhou Xingze hugged her waist tightly and buried his face in her warm chest, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.
"Second brother, third brother, it's bad, our mother has fainted."
The sister-in-law's panicked roar echoed in every corner of the yard.
Hearing the sound, Zhou Xingze kicked the stool away and quickly ran out the door.
The house was in chaos again.
………………
"The patient fainted due to his anxiety and a surge in blood pressure. His life is not in danger. He will be kept in the hospital for observation for a few days. If there is no further deterioration, he can be discharged."
"Thank you, doctor."
Zhou Xingze held the doctor's hand gratefully, and the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down.
My sister-in-law said, "Thank you, doctor, for your hard work."
The two of them smiled at each other as if they had been reborn from a calamity, and then went into the ward one after another.
Zhou Lifang, who was sitting beside the bed, said, "I'll stay with you tonight. You guys can go back first. Xiaotang and Meimei are at home, and I'm a little worried."
The eldest sister-in-law leaned against the window. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she should be the first to step forward and take on the responsibility when such a big change happened in the family.
"Aunt, second brother, third brother, you all go back. I will stay with you tonight."
"It's still me..."
"Second brother, the doctor just said that our mother is fine at the moment, and I can take care of her by myself. Besides, your wife is still pregnant. If she gets hurt at this critical moment, it will really be the end of our mother's life. Go back and listen to me. Nothing else can happen to this family."
Zhou Xingle said, "Second brother, listen to your eldest sister-in-law. Our family really can't stand it any longer."
Zhou Xingze frowned, glanced at his old mother on the hospital bed, and sighed, "Okay, I'll go back first. I'll trouble you tonight, sister-in-law."
Zhou Xingze and Zhou Xingle left the ward reluctantly.
"Aunt, you should go back too."
Zhou Lifang said, "I'm old now and don't need as much sleep, so let me stay and keep you company."
Seeing her firm attitude, the sister-in-law no longer refused.
He moved a chair over and sat aside.
Quietly looking at the old mother-in-law lying on the hospital bed.
The medicine in the infusion tube made a dripping sound, which was infinitely magnified and magnified in this quiet room.
After a whole night of hard work, it was already past 12 o'clock.
My sister-in-law slumped in the chair, exhausted.
