Chapter 166 Going it Alone
"This disease... does it really cause people to throw feces at each other? That's terrifying! It's like being possessed by a vengeful ghost!"
Zou Qiuyue was initially quite frightened, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I didn't know this term before. The day before yesterday, I thought this person was just a regular lunatic."
She sighed and continued.
"Later, I went to ask the nurse, and she told me that this was not a mental illness, but a brain dysfunction, which is why she suddenly became a completely different person, lost control of her emotions, behaved strangely, and even did not recognize her own parents at all."
Shen Cuifen was stunned.
"Isn't that just madness? Who cares what his name is? He acts like a madman. Who can stand him?"
Zou Qiuyue scratched her head, looking completely bewildered.
"I can't say for sure... We don't understand medical matters. But Zhou Wenjuan is really annoying! Why does she always choose our room? She's petty and calculating!"
Her tone turned serious as she earnestly gave her instructions.
"You'd better be careful in the future, don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance, she might trip you up at any time."
After a while, a series of hurried footsteps finally came from afar.
Several medical staff rushed over with restraints and it took them a lot of effort to pin the man down again.
Only after confirming that the person had been brought under control did Shen Cuifen and Zou Qiuyue dare to open the door.
A foul, fishy smell wafted in through the crack in the door, making one's throat tighten.
No one dared to open the windows for ventilation.
After all, this place is not peaceful to begin with, and nobody wants to get into unnecessary trouble.
Shen Cuifen tugged at Zou Qiuyue's sleeve and said in a low voice.
"Let's go, stop standing there, the food's getting cold! Let's eat, ignore her, she's not worth wasting our time."
"If she dares to mess with us again, don't blame me for being impolite! I'll just punch her and see if she still dares to be so arrogant!"
Zou Qiuyue took a big bite of the steamed bun in her hand.
"Yes! She deserves to be beaten up! People like her need to be taught a lesson!"
Shen Cuifen echoed, her tone full of support.
Song Lei's lips twitched involuntarily.
He muttered to himself.
My wife is usually so gentle and kind, when did she start threatening to hit me all the time?
But then I thought about it again and realized that it was actually a good thing.
At least no one will dare to bully her easily anymore.
The meal was finished, and the medication was also completed.
Zou Qiuyue packed up her lunchbox, stood up, and said.
"I'm going back now. I need to hurry back to cook so that dinner won't be too late."
Shen Cuifen nodded and watched her leave.
Then he sat alone in the chair, lost in thought.
The morning was quite peaceful and quiet.
Zhou Wenjuan has not shown her face since the incident that morning.
"dad!"
A cry, trembling with sobs, suddenly rang out.
Shen Cuifen looked up at the sound and saw a girl with red eyes standing at the door.
It was Song Xiaomei.
Zou Qiuyue followed closely behind and glanced at Song Lei.
Song Lei immediately put on a smile and greeted him in a relaxed manner.
"Hey! Isn't this my eldest daughter? What brings you here?"
Song Xiaomei rushed to the bedside, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
"How did I get here? If it weren't for my day off, I would have had no idea you were in the hospital if I had checked the schedule myself! You just kept it from me like this, without even giving me a heads-up?"
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, and her eyes quickly welled up with tears.
Song Lei chuckled twice and scratched the back of his head.
"Oh dear, I was just worried that you'd be too busy with work and it would be bad to keep you from getting any rest! Besides, it's just a minor surgery, nothing serious. You can be discharged tomorrow. Your mom can stay here and take care of me, so you really don't need to come all this way."
Zou Qiuyue walked over to Song Xiaomei and coaxed her gently.
"Xiaomei, don't be angry. Look at your dad, he's in great spirits and has a rosy complexion. He's really fine, don't worry."
But Song Xiaomei didn't buy it at all, pouting her lips.
"Okay, okay! I was wrong, alright!"
Song Lei quickly raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender.
“If I hide it from you again next time, feel free to hit me! I promise I won’t fight back! Your mom even suggested you take a few days off to come back and take care of me, but I stopped her, afraid it would affect your work…”
Before he could finish speaking, Song Xiaomei interrupted him.
"Dad! Stop talking nonsense!"
Her voice suddenly lowered.
"From now on, you and Mom will both be well and healthy. Please don't scare me anymore, okay?"
Zou Qiuyue and Song Lei exchanged a glance and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll listen to you, I'll be fine, I'll definitely be fine!"
In fact, Song Xiaomei had already softened her heart.
"Xiaomei, this is a new friend of Mom's, her name is Aunt Cuifen."
Zou Qiuyue held her daughter's hand and introduced her in a warm tone.
"You two should get closer in the future."
"This is my eldest daughter, Song Xiaomei!"
She deliberately dragged out her words, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Tell me, everyone else is afraid of their wives, but my husband is most afraid of this precious daughter! As soon as Xiaomei pouts, he doesn't dare to breathe!"
Song Xiaomei's face flushed red to her ears.
"Mom! I'm all grown up now, and you're still joking with me! I'm just worried you're working too hard, that's why I keep asking so many questions..."
"I know, I know! Mom knows!"
Zou Qiuyue nodded repeatedly, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile.
“My daughter is the most filial child, a hundred times better than those kids who only talk back! Don’t you think so, Cuifen?”
Shen Cuifen sat in the chair, quietly watching the family of three in front of her.
Laughter, playful scolding, affectionate glances—everything was so ordinary, yet so warm.
A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
But at that very moment, memories of my past life suddenly pierced my mind.
The man, wearing leather boots, kicked open the door that had once been cozy.
That home was shattered completely by that one kick.
What a pity.
"Aunt Cuifen."
A soft voice interrupted her thoughts.
Song Xiaomei lowered her head and called out gently.
What are you spacing out about?
Just as Shen Cuifen was about to respond, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a commotion by the door.
Immediately afterwards, a small head suddenly popped out from behind the door frame.
"Sister Xiaomei!"
It is Shen Zhongshun.
With rosy cheeks, she skipped and hopped in.
Shen Cuifen looked at the child and smiled helplessly.
Song Xiaomei smiled and squatted down, reaching out to rub his little head.
"Oh my, you little rascal, how come your ears are so sharp? You came running as soon as you smelled the food? If my little brother were as mischievous and lovable as you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Song Wenhua, Zou Qiuyue's son, was squatting in the corner, holding half a steamed bun in his hand and nibbling on it.
He has been a man of few words since childhood.
Now that I'm twenty-one, I still live alone.
When the villagers talk about him, they all shake their heads.
"This child is too heavy-hearted and doesn't understand things."
Even Zou Qiuya felt a pang of sadness as she looked at her son's lonely figure.
"you do not say!"
When Zou Qiuyue heard Song Xiaomei mention her younger brother, she casually chimed in with a comment.
