Before Liu Dekai could say anything, Mo Youyou spoke first with a cold smile.
"Tch—she, kind? That's because she lacked confidence before, and was forced to be kind. All her kindness was an act, fake!" Mo Youyou said sarcastically.
Zhang Cuihua even mentioned the past.
Mo Youyou was the most dissatisfied. She had only served Zhang Cuihua for three years. So, just because of those three years, did Su Yueya become a good person?
"Back when Dekai joined the army, she sent your salary to you every month. She was spending her money, so why shouldn't she be kind? Why shouldn't she take care of you? You think these are all free sacrifices? Bah! Every single act of kindness she's shown you has a price tag!"
"Who is she now? She's come to the capital, joined the army as a military doctor, and even returned to her ancestral home. With the Qiao family as her backer, and having married into the Lu family, she's become attached to them. Relying on her powerful family background, she's long forgotten her roots!"
"Just because she inexplicably called our Xiaobao Chaoxiong, how could she be a good person? Bah, she's a despicable woman, not even qualified to be a doctor! If it weren't for her connections, she would have lost her job long ago!"
Mo Youyou hadn't vented her anger by cursing earlier, so now she took the opportunity to unleash another barrage of insults and mockery, regretting that she hadn't said it to Su Yueya's face.
"You guys are the real fools! You spend their money and then still think they're kind to you. You've been sold out and you're still counting the money for them. You can't outsmart their deep cunning at all!"
Regardless, in Mo Youyou's eyes, Su Yueya was no good.
Everything she does is purposeful; she only puts on that repulsive, hypocritical facade when there's something to gain.
Only Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua were stupid enough not to see her true colors before.
“What Youyou said…” Zhang Cuihua nodded, having actually taken Mo Youyou’s criticisms to heart and even finding them particularly insightful. “They make a lot of sense!”
“Back then, life in the countryside was so poor. If it weren’t for the money Dekai sent back, she wouldn’t have had enough to eat or wear…”
“So,” Mo Youyou quickly chimed in, “the things she did—how good she was to you, how she took care of you—wasn’t that right?! Isn’t it just like paying for a housekeeper? Mom, you don’t think we need to thank Aunt Liao, do you?”
In the past, Su Yueya was just like Aunt Liao!
Zhang Cuihua was as if she had been brainwashed by Mo Youyou, and she felt that what Mo Youyou said made perfect sense.
Su Yueya spent her family's money, so it was only right that they treat her well. They completely forgot that Su Yueya and Liu Dekai were husband and wife at the time, and it was only natural for them to spend money on her.
Not to mention, Zhang Cuihua kept all the money Liu Dekai sent back to herself and didn't give Su Yueya much at all.
On the contrary, Su Yueya had to pay a lot of money herself to help Zhang Cuihua recuperate!
"It seems that to judge a person's character, you can't look at them when they're poor. After all, they can pretend when they're poor. You have to see what kind of face they have when they're rich and powerful. That's when you really see their true colors!" Zhang Cuihua felt that her summary was quite accurate.
“That’s exactly right!” Mo Youyou agreed.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were giving Su Yueya their evaluations, their spittle flying everywhere.
Throughout the entire process, Liu Dekai remained silent.
It wasn't that he wanted to clear Su Yueya's name or that he felt they had misunderstood her; rather, mentioning her and Chaoxiong's matter naturally drew his attention back to his son.
Xiao Bao is too young and needs constant care.
So even though Mo Youyou put him on the small bed, she pushed it into the living room and kept it under her watchful eye before nagging him.
Liu Dekai looked at his son lying on the small bed—
He was so well-behaved and quiet.
Before sitting down, Zhang Cuihua specially prepared a bottle of milk powder for Xiaobao and had him hold it while drinking.
The baby was very well-behaved while drinking milk. He couldn't hold the bottle himself yet, so an adult had to put it to his mouth. He would suck quietly, making a cute little baby sound every now and then, and staring at the adult with a smile that melted everyone's heart.
After eating, the little guy goes to sleep, and he sleeps very peacefully.
Aside from crying a little when she's hungry to get an adult's attention, she's otherwise completely worry-free and incredibly adorable.
Where is there any sign of superhuman strength?
Even so, Liu Dekai could not shake off the vague worry in his heart, like a dark cloud hanging over his mind, making him unable to feel completely at ease.
"My little darling, come here, let Mommy hug you!" Mo Youyou finished scolding and picked up the baby from the bed.
She doesn't allow family members to kiss the baby's face and mouth casually—this is the doctor's advice, saying that there are many bacteria that could easily make the child sick, so she herself doesn't do it either.
Mo Youyou held the baby's chubby hand and kissed it affectionately.
Doing it yourself is still allowed.
"Little baby, little baby..."
She held the child under his armpits, letting his soft little legs step on her legs as if he were walking, while constantly teasing and coaxing him.
"Our baby is so well-behaved, how could he possibly be a superhero! He's definitely not, right?"
"When Xiaobao grows up, he will definitely be a kind, sensible, and well-behaved baby, right?"
“That Su Yueya is the worst. We won’t listen to her nonsense. If we see her again, Mom will scold her for you. We’ll call her a heartless dog. Our little Bao isn’t afraid!”
Liu Dekai: "..."
He could only sigh silently.
Liu Dekai certainly hoped that everything Mo Youyou said would come true.
It might not come true; it's not up to anyone to decide. What if my son really is Chao-hsiung?
The thought of the terrible consequences described in the book instantly chilled him to the bone.
Wow, it's so cool...
At that moment, Liu Dekai even wished that the son in front of him was a daughter!
If it's a daughter, there's no need to worry about whether she's male or female.
Even though the current policy only allows one child, he still thinks a daughter is better, at least it allows him to experience the joy of becoming a father for the first time without always being worried.
This feeling is like being slowly cut with a soft knife, causing immense suffering.
At the military hospital.
After a period of recuperation, Zhou Jinglan's condition has improved significantly.
At least the bandages on his hands have been removed, and he can hold a pen and write.
Looking at the scars on his hands, Zhou Jinglan would often drift into a daze.
It all felt like a dream.
He was perfectly fine before, so how come he has so many ugly and terrifying scars now?
The wound hasn't completely scabbed over yet, and he's anxiously watching it every day. The scar removal cream is supposed to be used only after the scab has formed, but it's not an option now.
Since scar removal cream can't be used, let's do something else, like settling the score between him and the scammer.
