“I’m not that fragile.” Su Xiaonuan raised her arm. “Look, a bowl of soup and I’m fully recharged.”
"Don't be a hero. Listen to Mo Ran and rest at home. We'll go and see Qiu Yun's mother for you." Ye Mei pouted. "You scared me to death just now. Your face was as white as a sheet."
“Mom, I’m really not that fragile,” she argued. “That’s because I’m afraid of gaining weight and not being able to wear my wedding dress at the wedding. I’m deliberately dieting, which is why I’m so weak. Now that I don’t have to wear a wedding dress, I can eat, drink, and sleep well, and I’ll be plump and healthy again soon.”
“No wonder,” Zhang Yulan said with a sudden realization. “I knew it. You used to have a good appetite when you were in the countryside, but now you eat less in the city. Is it to lose weight? If you ask me, you look better when you're a little chubby. Being thin doesn't look good at all.”
......
Su Xiaonuan sighed inwardly. Having too many mothers was troublesome, as they all had to manage her. She had heard that she had deliberately lost weight before, and both mothers took turns nagging her.
In the end, Xiao Moran carried her away.
After going up the stairs and turning the corner, when the people downstairs could no longer see her, Su Xiaonuan immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, "Honey, thank you for carrying me up here. Otherwise, my two mothers would have scolded me to death."
"But they're all doing this for your own good." Xiao Moran looked down at her with affection. "From now on, you're not allowed to lose weight. Your health is the most important thing. It's okay to be a little chubby. Your husband won't mind. What are you afraid of?"
"I was afraid you couldn't carry me," she said with a coquettish smile.
"What kind of man is he if he can't even carry his wife?" He carried her back to the room, huffing and puffing, and put her on the bed. He took off her coat and shoes, and when he covered her with the blanket, he made sure to hold the corner of the blanket tightly. "You'd better sleep well and don't get up. You can only get up when your husband comes back and calls you."
"Xiao Moran, can you not be so domineering?" she chuckled. "Am I not even allowed to get up to use the restroom?"
"Then go to the bathroom and continue sleeping," he coaxed her. "Be good, listen to me, close your eyes and go to sleep."
"Mmm." Su Xiaonuan closed her eyes, and he kissed her forehead with his warm lips before leaving.
People say that marriage is a woman's grave, but she doesn't think so. After she and Xiao Moran held their wedding, they were incredibly happy, and he cherished her like the apple of his eye.
No matter how busy he was, he would come to her side immediately if she called. As for her, she would ignore Xiao Moran when she was busy, and would even scold him when she was in a bad mood. He would always silently endure her bad temper, and then slowly comfort her after she calmed down.
When Xiao Moran returned at noon, the table was piled high with blood-replenishing supplements.
"Xiao Moran, are you planning to open a pharmacy?" She looked at the table full of tonics, her face filled with despair.
“These are all for you. The doctor said they can help replenish your blood. You don’t care about the amount of blood you’ve given to others, but I do.” He frowned slightly. “Next time you need to save someone, you have to think about your husband and children first. Your body doesn’t just belong to you, it belongs to all of us. Don’t be so selfish, okay?”
"It's no big deal, just a blood transfusion. Blood transfusions help with metabolism." She rolled her eyes at him. "Ignorance is truly terrifying!"
"Honey, to avoid scaring you, I've decided to enroll in a correspondence university."
"Okay, then sign me up too."
"Okay, let's work together."
All Su Xiaonuan needed was a certificate. She was good at all subjects. In her previous life, she was a top student at the police academy. Her reputation as an all-around policewoman was well-deserved. She earned everything through her own hard work.
Xiao Moran had such progressive ideas, and of course she wholeheartedly supported him. She was just afraid that the man would lack ambition and only be satisfied with immediate benefits. Learning is endless, after all. As society progresses, people need to learn various skills so as not to be eliminated by society.
At lunch, under Xiao Moran's supervision, Su Xiaonuan reluctantly drank pigeon blood. Several adults said that this was very good for replenishing blood. The process involved taking a live pigeon, plucking the feathers from its neck, washing and disinfecting the neck with salt water, then smearing the neck with a sharp knife, putting the pigeon blood in a bowl, and then making her drink it.
It's too fishy!
She drank it, but then vomited it all up.
Finally, the two mothers came up with another idea, saying that if they smeared the pigeon's neck and let the hot pigeon blood flow directly into her mouth, there would be no fishy taste.
Sure enough, Xiao Moran immediately took action and made her drink hot pigeon blood.
This time, it wasn't so fishy, and even had a slightly sweet taste.
However, Xiao Moran pinched her nose until it turned red. To prevent her from spitting it out, he pinched her nose, grabbed her arms, and pressed her head, tormenting her for quite a while until they were sure she wouldn't vomit up the pigeon blood she had drunk.
Tears welled up in Su Xiaonuan's eyes, but they weren't tears of pain; they were tears of happiness.
Now, she is the darling of the family.
Everyone doted on her and loved her.
Especially Xiao Moran, she was treated like a precious gem, someone you'd be afraid to touch or break.
Despite Xiao Moran's repeated instructions to her not to go out and to stay home to recuperate, she still took her family to the hospital, bringing Aunt Chen along as well. She also took almost half of the blood-nourishing supplements that Xiao Moran had bought for her to give to Aunt Xiang at the hospital.
Zhang Yulan muttered, "Xiao Nuan, these are blood-tonifying supplements that Moran bought for you. Why did you take them to give to other people?"
"Mom, I'm young, my metabolism is fast, look, I'm fully recovered!" Xiao Nuan hugged Zhang Yulan's neck like a best friend. "Look at Aunt Xiang, she cut her wrists, do you know how much blood she lost?"
Zhang Yulan looked at her blankly. "I don't know."
"The doctor said she almost bled out. If it weren't for Moran taking measures, she probably wouldn't have survived." Xiao Nuan praised Xiao Moran enthusiastically. "Look how kind your son is. He managed to save Aunt Xiang from the brink of death. Don't you think we should help Aunt Xiang recover as soon as possible? Otherwise, your son will have to go to the hospital every day."
Zhang Yulan was indeed caught up in the conversation and nodded. "You're right. If that woman doesn't get better soon, Mo Ran and you will both be running around. Let's give her the food, as long as she gets better quickly."
Ye Mei and Su Ming exchanged a glance and then smiled. They thought to themselves that other people worry about their daughters not getting along with their husbands after they get married, but their daughter doesn't have to worry about that at all. She not only gets along well with her mother-in-law, but also with her quirky sister-in-law. Moreover, they all love to listen to Xiao Nuan's sweet talk. As long as Xiao Nuan says it's okay, they will be brainwashed.
When they arrived at the hospital, the patient had already woken up and knew that Su Xiaonuan had saved him with a blood transfusion. Upon seeing them enter, tears streamed down her face before she could even speak. "Xiaonuan, thank you! Thank you for saving me."
"Aunt Xiang, it seems you've come to your senses and won't do anything foolish again?" Su Xiaonuan heard her thank her for saving her, which meant she must have experienced regret.
"Yes." Aunt Xiang nodded. "I won't do anything foolish. I want to live and wait for Qiuyun to come back. Otherwise, if she comes back and doesn't see me, she definitely won't survive either."
