Chapter 47: Ning Tang's child is not from the Xu family!
The elegant voice abruptly stopped.
Like a duck with its throat being squeezed, it was both eerie and somewhat comical.
I subconsciously glanced at the person slowly waking up on the bed.
Grandma Xu opened her eyes at some point. Although her face was still pale, her lips had gradually regained their color, and her eyes were fixed on her.
"Grandma?"
"When did you wake up? Why didn't you tell me you woke up?" Wenya's voice trembled slightly with panic.
He had completely lost his earlier arrogance.
"Tell you?" Grandma Xu sneered. "Telling you would be informing you, wouldn't it?"
"So you expect me to just lie here and listen to every single nice thing you say? You call me a jinx and a jinx, do you think I'm dead, or that no one in the Xu family can handle you?"
Xu Qiaofeng, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and gently patted his grandmother's back.
It was obvious that Wenya only just realized what was happening.
She spoke ill of Ning Tang earlier, no wonder Xu Qiaofeng didn't refute her as usual. It turns out he knew the old lady was awake and was waiting for her here!
Xu Qiaolan and Xu Qiaoyan, who had heard the commotion outside, also heard it and rushed over.
"Grandma, you're finally awake! My older brother and I were scared to death these past few days!"
Grandma Xu gave her a cold look: "You two are my grandsons, why are you trying to scare me?"
"Grandma, we're just worried and making a fuss. How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? If it's not good, we'll take you to the hospital right away."
"Elder brother Xu Qiaolan asked with concern."
Grandma Xu waved her hand, "I'm not going to the hospital."
"I've been there before, I live there all year round, it smells like disinfectant, it's so suffocating."
"If it weren't for Tangtang, my lucky star, I would be meeting the King of Hell by now. How could I be sitting here talking to you all?"
Everyone present understood that Grandma was standing up for Ning Tang and supporting her.
"...Grandma, that's not a good thing to say, quickly spit it out!"
Grandma Xu ignored her two grandsons and instead took Xu Qiaofeng's hand, her voice softening: "Qiaofeng, Tangtang has had a hard time these past few days. Where is Tangtang? I haven't seen her."
As if he had just thought of something, his face immediately darkened.
"Or did you guys make her leave?"
Xu Qiaolan and Xu Qiaoyan felt wronged in their hearts.
Given the third brother's bad temper, how could they dare to say anything harsh to his wife?
Xu Qiaofeng explained, "Grandma, Ning Tang got up early this morning and has been in the kitchen brewing medicine for you. She's probably gone back to her room to rest now."
Ning Tang is still feeling unwell, so it's normal for her to feel tired.
Grandma Xu immediately nodded in relief.
"Don't disturb her, let Tangtang, the great hero, get some rest."
Wenya was especially jealous when she saw Grandma Xu constantly mentioning Tangtang and completely ignoring everyone else.
Unable to resist, she chimed in, "Grandma, even if we don't go to the hospital, we should at least have a doctor come and take a look. My sister-in-law is a novice, after all..."
"What are you looking at! I know my own body!"
Grandma Xu gave Wenya a cold glance, as if she could see right through her little schemes, and Wenya was so frightened that she immediately stopped talking.
"Once Tangtang has rested, I'll talk to her more; it'll be more effective than any medicine!"
"And another thing, you know I just woke up, yet you're still getting in my way. What? Are you trying to take this opportunity to drive this old lady crazy?"
Wenya's face turned red and white as Grandma Xu rebuked her.
Seeing her like this, Xu Qiaoyan didn't intend to speak up for her.
After all, he and his older brother had overheard Wenya talking badly about Ning Tang outside, and now they just felt that she had made a fool of herself.
She stayed in the house and talked with the old lady for a while, while Wenya stood in the corner like a transparent person.
Seeing that Grandma Xu was a little tired, he then left.
...
When Ning Tang woke up, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
She is currently in her early pregnancy and gets tired easily, often feeling sleepy and lacking energy.
After waking up, I quickly tidied myself up and went downstairs immediately.
At this moment, Grandpa Xu also returned from the army and was sitting on the sofa discussing matters with Xu Qiaofeng.
Upon seeing her appear, Aunt Zhang immediately smiled and said, "Tangtang, you're awake?"
"Are you hungry? There's some pigeon soup keeping warm in the pot for you."
Ning Tang shook her head slightly: "Aunt Zhang, how is Grandma?"
"Your grandma has woken up and looks very energetic. Su Ying is helping her wash up now," Grandpa Xu interjected with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction and affection for Ning Tang.
Grandma Xu is a clean person.
I haven't been able to take good care of myself while lying in bed these past few days, so Su Ying came to help as soon as she got back from the performing arts troupe.
"I'm relieved that Grandma is alright."
Ning Tang: "Grandpa, let me first brew Grandma's medicine for tonight."
Xu Qiaofeng stood up: "You rest, I'll take care of it."
The medicine needs to contain ginseng slices, and only I know where they are hidden. Xu Qiaofeng is so meticulous, he will definitely find that there is an extra ingredient in the medicine.
"No need. There are specific requirements for the heat this time, and you're not familiar with them, so I'll do it."
Seeing this, Xu Qiaofeng had no choice but to retract his unfinished words.
When Ning Tang returned with the medicine, Aunt Zhang had already prepared a table full of dinner.
Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu were sitting in the middle. When they saw her come in, their eyes almost disappeared with laughter.
She affectionately took her hand and said with a smile, "Tangtang, Grandma hasn't seen you for several days. You look thinner!"
"Grandma, I haven't lost weight. Are you feeling better now?"
During this time, Ning Tang has been secretly working to improve her health. Without her mother putting drugs in her food, her physical condition has almost fully recovered.
The reason is that years of taking medicine has damaged my spleen and stomach, making it difficult to absorb food, so I still look thin.
"Oh, with Tangtang around, I feel like all my illnesses are cured!" Grandma Xu looked at her granddaughter-in-law with increasing fondness. "You've worked so hard these past few days. If you want any gifts, just tell Grandma. Grandma has a gold bracelet, do you like it?"
Ning Tang could never truly accept something from an old man.
I casually made up the excuse that the hospital doesn't allow wearing jewelry to refuse.
Before Grandma Xu could speak, a sour tone came from next door.
"Grandma is so biased. My sister-in-law and I have suffered a lot these days, why doesn't Grandma ask about us?"
Seeing that Wenya was being ungrateful again, Xu Qiaoyan kicked her under the table.
When her name was mentioned, Su Ying smiled indifferently: "I haven't worked as hard as my third sister-in-law, so it's only right that Grandma gives her a gift."
Originally, Wen Ya was somewhat insecure, but when she heard that Su Ying had betrayed her without hesitation, her anger flared up.
His eyes lit up, and remembering the rumors about the hospital, an idea came to him.
Suddenly, he raised his voice and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, you may not know this, but the people at the military hospital have been spreading rumors that my sister-in-law is promiscuous..."
"In short, the words were extremely harsh, and they even doubted that the child in Ning Tang's belly was not the third son's."
"Grandma, I believe Ning Tang isn't that kind of person. We must investigate thoroughly and clear my sister-in-law's name!"
