Lin Qingyou's eyes widened. "Da Chuan, this... will this work?"
“Sure, why not?” Lin Chuan said. “Uncle, you know what kind of people Wu Chunhua and Lin Youfu are. If Chunmai hadn’t been taken to the hospital in time, she and the child would have died.”
"They never cared about our lives. If I go back, will I just let them continue to bully my wife and my children?"
“Uncle, there’s an old saying: ‘The father is the guide for the son; if the father is not kind, the son will run away to another place!’ Lin Youfu and Wu Chunhua have never treated me like their own son. They abuse and mistreat Chunmai and the children every day. So don’t blame me for leaving that home. You reap what you sow. Whatever happens in the future, it’s their own fault!”
Lin Chuan's words struck Lin Qingyou's heart like a hammer.
The father is the guide for the son; if the father is not kind, the son will run away to another place.
And what about him?
Has he made a mistake all these years?
He caused his wife and children to suffer as well.
He'd always known his parents were biased. But why were they so biased?
Now it seems that there really are parents in this world who don't love their children; he is a living example.
His silence and forbearance have caused his wife and children so much suffering over the years.
Lin Qingyou patted Lin Chuan on the shoulder, "Da Chuan, you... well done. Go do whatever you want."
He and Zheng Yumei had originally thought that Wu Chunhua was still at home waiting to deal with them, so it was better not to go back.
Lin Chuan wanted to say something more, but it was clearly not the right time.
Back when his uncle and Lin Youfu divided their family property, his grandparents decided to give their old house to Lin Youfu and Wu Chunhua.
Then they chased Lin Qingyou, Zheng Yumei, and the children out.
At first, they lived in a small, dilapidated house by the river.
Later, Lin Qingyou and Zheng Yumei built their current house, and his grandparents moved in with them.
Speaking of which, the house that Lin Qingyou and Zheng Yumei live in now is on their own land and in their own names.
After returning home and packing his things, Lin Chuan went to pay the fees and complete the discharge procedures.
For a normal vaginal delivery, it only costs a little over three yuan.
Xu Chunmai had an external hip reversal procedure, and the final bill came to eighteen yuan.
Xu Chunmai knew it cost a total of eighteen yuan, but she still felt it was a bit expensive.
Lin Chuan knew what she was thinking. "Think about it, if the surgery costs three hundred yuan, Chunmai, you're really good at saving me money."
Lin Chuan spread out all the blankets on the cart, wrapped Xu Chunmai from head to toe, and then picked her up and carried her out.
"Da Chuan, I can walk by myself."
"It's okay, I'll hug you if I want to."
Seeing that Lin Chuan and Xu Chunmai had a good relationship, Qian Jinhua was also in a good mood.
After everything was packed up, everyone headed towards Changling Village.
Lin Qingyou and Zheng Yumei followed him all the way to the fork in the road between Changling Village and Yuquan Village before they stopped.
"Da Chuan, your aunt and I will head back now."
"Uncle, if Grandpa and Grandma do anything else, don't just swallow your anger. If it gets really bad, send them to Lin Youfu's house so they can experience what their precious daughter-in-law, Wu Chunhua, is like!" Lin Chuan said.
When they returned to Xu Chunmai's parents' home, Xu Shengli had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Finally seeing Lin Chuan returning with his cart, they smiled and hurried over to greet him.
The neighbor, Zhang Tieniu, had three sons. He always looked down on Xu Shengli, saying that his family line would end and that he was useless, and that he only had one daughter.
"Hey, Lao Xu, your daughter just had a baby and she's already gone back to her parents' house? Aren't you two afraid of getting into trouble? What kind of daughter goes back to her parents' house after giving birth?"
Xu Shengli retorted, "Pah! You've finally had a son, but you two are eating coarse food every day, and your daughter-in-law keeps kicking you out to sleep in the pigsty. You're living a really good life!"
Zhang Tieniu's face turned red with anger, "Your son-in-law isn't much better!"
As Xu Shengli went to get his things from the car, he said, "My son-in-law isn't much better, but he's always happy to buy me big bowls of meat noodles!"
Qian Jinhua held the child while Xu Shengli moved the things from the car into the house.
Even little Lin Shuning helped out.
Lin Chuan picked up Xu Chunmai and carried her directly into the west room.
The kang (heated brick bed) in the west room was warm; Xu Shengli had lit it early in the morning, and the quilts were all laid out.
Qian Jinhua put the child on the kang (a heated brick bed) and went to rummage through the things in the wooden box.
"These are all new quilts, mattresses, and baby clothes that I made recently. I was thinking about when to send them to you, but now it's all good, I don't need to send them anymore."
Lin Chuan was deeply moved.
Bringing Xu Chunmai home was the right decision he ever made.
If we went back to Wu Chunhua's place now, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
"Dad, Mom, Chunmai, you wait here for a moment. I'll go and clean the chicken I brought back and start stewing it right away."
Xu Shengli said, "Let your mother stew it; she's a good stewer."
Lin Chuan brought out the chicken. "Dad, today you can try the chicken I stewed."
Qian Jinhua folded the diaper neatly. "This is the only chicken we have. It's very precious. We won't eat it. You guys eat it. Your dad and I can eat whatever we want."
Lin Chuan went to start a fire. "Mom, I'm going out on errands tomorrow, I'll buy some more while I'm at it. From now on, whatever we want to eat, we'll eat together!"
As he spoke, he went to wash the pot, boil water, and clean the chicken.
Then he threw the chicken into the pot, added seasonings and broth.
Before long, the soup in the pot began to boil.
