There's nothing wrong with taking care of patients, especially since Zhang Cuihua injured her back and it's indeed inconvenient for her to be alone.
But how could Mo Youyou possibly know how to serve people?
Even if she was wrong, she felt that her act of delivering the food was already an apology, so Zhang Cuihua and Liu Dekai shouldn't continue to hold it against her.
"Dekai, I'll hire a caregiver for Mom so she can take care of her. You should come home with me and rest," Mo Youyou said softly.
She's already paid for a caregiver, surely Liu Dekai wouldn't still be so insistent on it?
Unfortunately, Liu Dekai hadn't forgotten the insults Mo Youyou had said to him before. Would he dare let Mo Youyou spend money now?
Who knows what nasty things she'll say next time after I've spent her money?
"Spend your money?" Liu Dekai's tone and expression were full of sarcasm. He didn't even look at Mo Youyou directly, and said sarcastically, "I dare not spend it. We'd better calculate it carefully."
Mo Youyou was immediately choked up.
She knew perfectly well what Liu Dekai was implying, but she didn't think she was wrong.
One thing is one thing, pushing Zhang Cuihua down was wrong, but the things she said to Liu Dekai before were all correct.
Liu Dekai's monthly income is only a little over one hundred yuan. If it weren't for her, even with his current position as deputy battalion commander, he wouldn't be able to get a house in the family compound. If he wanted to bring his mother over, he would have to rent a house for her outside.
In addition, his mother's health condition meant she frequently needed to see a doctor. Although military dependents received medical subsidies, the percentage was lower than that for military personnel, leaving considerable expenses.
The supplements and medicines his mother takes are so expensive!
And if you factor in hiring a housekeeper, where does he get so much money to pay?
"Dekai, do you really have to do this?" Mo Youyou was no longer as "humble" as before. She felt that she had already apologized and that the matter should be put behind her.
"Does that mean you're going to stay in the hospital the whole time just because Mom's in the hospital? Aren't you going to go to work the next day?" Mo Youyou asked.
Liu Dekai knew that this person was not sincerely apologizing.
She, Mo Youyou, did something wrong, and now she still dares to speak to him so arrogantly?
He had to teach her a lesson!
Moreover, Liu Dekai really doesn't want to face Mo Youyou right now; the resentment he's harboring is no less than hers.
"Whose fault is it that Mom is hospitalized?" Liu Dekai questioned.
"If it weren't for you, would Mom have fallen? Would she have been hospitalized? Why are you talking like it has nothing to do with you now?"
In their current situation, both of them are easily triggered; a single word or phrase could ignite an even greater conflict between them.
"I didn't do it on purpose!" Mo Youyou shouted, trying to justify herself. "Wasn't it you who tried to hit me first? I was just trying to protect myself. Who knew Mom would suddenly rush over and I accidentally hurt her?"
"Don't make it sound like it's all my responsibility!"
"Hehe..." Liu Dekai laughed in anger.
He's not blind or stupid. He was there at the time. He has eyes and he can see what happened!
Zhang Cuihua clearly stopped him from attacking Mo Youyou. It was Mo Youyou who pushed Zhang Cuihua away, who was trying to help and protect her. How can he lie like that?
“Mo Youyou, do you have any conscience? I hit you? Did I even hit you? Even if you want to fight back, fine, come at me then. What’s the point of coming at Mom? She was protecting you back then!” Liu Dekai exposed her lie.
"I already said I didn't do it on purpose. In the midst of the tugging and pulling, who can see so clearly? If you insist that I did it on purpose, there's nothing I can do!" Mo Youyou retorted stubbornly.
“Mo Youyou, there’s no need to pretend. You know in your heart whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally!” Liu Dekai said.
Each person said something, and it looked like a new argument was about to erupt.
The nurse then came over and reminded them, "Don't argue in the ward, it will disturb the patient's rest."
Even in front of the nurses, the two still wanted to save face.
Moreover, the arguments were all repetitive and repetitive, which made Mo Youyou tired and impatient.
"Fine, Liu Dekai, you're determined not to go home, right?" Mo Youyou asked one last time.
“Ha!” Liu Dekai replied.
"Fine, fine, if you want to stay here, then stay here. It's best if you never go back!" Mo Youyou said fiercely.
"Why should I never go back?" Liu Dekai wasn't going to fall for it. "That's my house. I can go back whenever I want!"
Mo Youyou didn't want to talk to him anymore. Since it was already late, she stormed off alone.
I'm going home to sleep!
Let the mother and son do whatever they want; she couldn't be bothered with them anymore.
But no matter how much Mo Youyou makes a fuss, she still has her limits. At the very least, divorce is something she absolutely cannot allow to happen right now.
She can argue all she wants behind closed doors, but once the door is open, she still has to do her best to maintain the image of the brigade commander's daughter that everyone envies.
Back home, Mo Youyou was still in a bad mood. Before going to bed, she secretly cried for a while in bed.
All the grievances she has suffered in her life have been caused by Liu Dekai!
Everyone has envied her since she was a child!
She was born into a well-off family, and no one ever dared to mistreat her.
But ever since she learned about the relationship between Liu Dekai and Su Yueya, she has been suffering injustice.
If she had known a few days earlier that they had a wedding ceremony before, she could have called off the engagement.
But since she's already married, she can't get a divorce.
If she gets a divorce, she will become the laughing stock in the compound.
It's all Liu Dekai's fault; he's the one who ruined me, and now he's treating me like this.
What a scoundrel! He's a real piece of trash!
In the hospital ward, after Mo Youyou left, Liu Dekai sat down beside Zhang Cuihua's bed.
"Mom, I'll go ask the nurse for a folding bed so I can keep watch tonight," Liu Dekai said, clearly concerned about taking care of his mother.
Zhang Cuihua didn't think so. Although she hadn't interrupted their argument, she still hoped that Liu Dekai could go back and rest, otherwise he wouldn't have the energy to go to the army the next day.
After all, even though the conditions in a military hospital ward are not bad, it is definitely not as comfortable as sleeping in bed at home!
“Son, don’t rush, come and chat with Mom for a while,” Zhang Cuihua said.
After lying down for a while, she found that as long as she didn't move, her back wouldn't hurt too much. Besides, the doctor had given her medication, and she felt much better now than when she first fell.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Liu Dekai asked.
“Dekai, don’t hold it against Youyou. This was an accident, no one wanted it to happen. Mom knows she didn’t do it on purpose…” Zhang Cuihua advised.
Liu Dekai fell silent again at the mention of Mo Youyou's name.
