Cheng Xiao Kui gave a helpless, bitter smile. Lin Qiu Ru liked her, but unfortunately, Si Mu Yang didn't like her...
The person Si Muyang likes is Song Yalan, the main female protagonist of this book.
She held Lin Qiuru's hand and said, "Mom, just like you said, if we don't get a divorce, I'm your daughter-in-law; if we do get a divorce, I'm your daughter!"
Marriage is a lifelong commitment. If Si Muyang spends his life with a girl he doesn't love, he'll be miserable! Don't you want him to be happy for the rest of his life?
Lin Qiu said thoughtfully, "What's there to like or dislike? As long as you can manage your life and know how to be filial to your mother-in-law, that's enough."
In their time, the criteria for judging a good daughter-in-law had absolutely nothing to do with whether the man liked her or not.
A daughter-in-law who can give birth, take care of her family, and be filial to her parents-in-law is a rare find!
Cheng Xiao Kui didn't discuss this topic with her mother-in-law anymore, knowing that her mother-in-law couldn't understand free love.
Now, all she cares about is Lin Qiuru's life.
The next morning, Cheng Xiao Kui and her sister went to the cooperative to buy ingredients again.
Today, Song Wenhui asked them to buy an unusually large amount of ingredients.
Cheng Xiao Kui could clearly sense that her mother was anxious to save money for her younger brother's medical treatment.
Sometimes, however, resources are limited, and there's no use in being anxious, since you only have so many pots and pans and so many ovens at home.
Even though her mother-in-law was helping with the chores non-stop, they couldn't make much more food than they had yesterday.
After deducting costs at night, each household only made an extra 5 yuan.
Song Wenhui was getting anxious. She muttered, "I only earned 35 yuan today, and even adding what I earned yesterday and the day before, it's still less than 100 yuan! I need to work harder tomorrow and try to earn 40 yuan from each household!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "My sister and I will buy the ingredients first thing tomorrow morning, and then I will take my mother-in-law to the hospital for a checkup. The day after tomorrow, I will accompany you to take your brother to the hospital for a checkup."
Song Wenhui hurriedly said, "If you take your mother-in-law to the hospital tomorrow, what will you do with all the housework? Your sister and I can't manage!"
Lin Qiuru quickly said, "It's okay, I don't need to go see a doctor. My illness isn't anything serious."
Song Wenhui said, "If it's not a serious illness, then wait a couple more days! It's not something urgent."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "This matter is quite urgent and can't be delayed. Mom, how about this, you and your sister can do as much as you can tomorrow, and all the money you earn tomorrow will be yours."
My mother-in-law and I went to the doctor, and we should be back by noon. We can still do chores this afternoon!
When Song Wenhui heard that all the money would be hers, she thought to herself that as long as she and Cheng Qiuqiu worked hard, even if they did less, they wouldn't have to split the money, and they might be able to earn 50 yuan a day.
That should be more than enough to take your son to see a doctor!
She readily agreed, "Okay, we'll do it your way! After you take your mother-in-law to the doctor, you need to come back and get back to work as soon as possible! Your brother's illness is also important; he can't see right now!"
Cheng Xiao Kui nodded and said, "I know!"
She served her mother-in-law food; tonight her mother-in-law had made braised fish, and she put a large piece of fish on her mother-in-law's plate.
I just hope everything goes smoothly during this hospital visit, and that the doctor can examine my mother-in-law's pancreas.
If not...
She dared not even think about it. If the pancreas was found to be diseased and pancreatic cancer was delayed, her mother-in-law's life would not be saved!
As Song Wenhui watched Cheng Xiaokui serve food to Lin Qiuru, her eyes dimmed as she looked at her own empty bowl.
After dinner, Cheng Xiao Kui and her sister tidied up the house and went back to their respective rooms.
As soon as Cheng Qiuqiu entered the room, she saw her mother counting money again.
She said somewhat impatiently, "Mom, what are you doing? You're counting this little bit of money over and over again. No matter how many times you count it, it's still the same amount."
"It's just one more day, right? If I earn money tomorrow, I can take my brother to the doctor the day after."
Song Wenhui said, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. Don't you think your sister is now wholeheartedly devoted to her husband's family?"
Why take her mother-in-law to see a doctor first? Why is she in such a hurry to see a doctor for her mother-in-law? I can't see anything wrong with her mother-in-law.
Why can't you take your brother to see a doctor first? It's just a matter of a day or two. We'll take your brother to see a doctor the day after tomorrow.
Her mother-in-law can't see a doctor whenever she wants. Why does she have to go before your brother?!
Listening to her mother's rambling, Cheng Qiuqiu felt like her head was about to explode.
She said, "What's the big deal about being a day earlier or later? Besides, my brother has always been like this. I don't think it makes any difference whether it's a day earlier or later."
My sister said her mother-in-law's illness is very serious, and I think my sister must have a reason; her mother-in-law's illness must be very serious!
Song Wenhui added, "Even if her mother-in-law's illness is very serious, she didn't serve me food during the meal, but served food to her mother-in-law. I am the real mother to her!"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "Mom, you're really something. You can even find fault with this. I don't think there's anything wrong with what my sister did."
"Their mother-in-law is a guest here, isn't it her duty to take care of guests? If you were her own mother, would she need to take care of you?!"
Song Wenhui slammed her hand on the table in anger and cursed, "Girls are just like everyone else, you and your sister are exactly the same!"
What am I supposed to do with you all?! Raising a son is the proper thing to do; only a son will truly care for her!
Cheng Qiu Kui rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Say whatever you want. Your son is your precious treasure, your life. My sister and I are just blades of grass!"
Too lazy to waste words with her mother, she turned and went back to her room.
The next morning, Cheng Xiao Kui got up early and called her younger sister to go to the cooperative to buy all the ingredients they needed.
She rode her tricycle to the hospital with her mother-in-law, Lin Qiuru, and two children.
She mainly brought both children along because she was afraid they would disturb her mother and sister while they were doing chores.
She booked an appointment for Lin Qiuru with a surgeon, but when she accompanied her mother-in-law into the consultation room and told the doctor about her mother-in-law's symptoms...
The doctor's brows immediately furrowed, and he handed the number back to Cheng Xiao Kui.
The young female doctor said, "Why don't you ask if you don't know? Can you see a surgeon for your stomach problem? Cancel this appointment and go to the internal medicine department to see a doctor about your stomach."
Lin Qiuru hurriedly said, "This is our first time here and we don't know anything about it. Please don't be angry. We'll go register for internal medicine right away."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Doctor, my mother-in-law's symptoms seem like gastritis, but it's not gastritis. Could you check her pancreas?"
The young doctor rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell is this, checking the pancreas? Do you even know where the pancreas is? Where did you hear about the pancreas before coming here to check it?"
You clearly have gastritis! Just go to the internal medicine department to get checked for gastritis. Don't make an appointment randomly if you don't know anything about it.
If all patients acted like you, wouldn't the hospital be in chaos?! Hurry up, don't delay, I need to see the patients behind me!
