Zhou's mother didn't know how to respond to this. They were not familiar with each other, and if she said too much, she was afraid that she would be told not to be hurt.
Li Tingman did not get involved. She only had one son in her previous life and had no experience in this matter.
There are people like this around me, who are even more amazing than Cuilan. She gave birth to four daughters, and her in-laws were not happy about it. But her parents' family are supportive, and she has a good job, so she is very confident.
Meng Zhiyu glanced at Cuilan's face, which was so pale. She had given birth to two daughters, so she was definitely not infertile. The only possibility was that she had some minor health problem.
"You can go see a doctor." Medical equipment is not very advanced nowadays, so it's best to find an old Chinese doctor who can tell you about your condition by just taking your pulse.
However, due to the special environment, it is difficult to find an experienced Chinese medicine doctor.
Before the old lady and the other two could say anything, the middle-aged woman on the innermost bed suddenly spoke up, "If it really doesn't work out, divorce and find another one. This hospital is just a place that costs money, and even if you spend money, there's no guarantee that you can get better."
When Cuilan heard the word divorce, her face turned pale and she looked at her husband nervously. Liu Ming gave her a soothing look and said, "I won't divorce you even if we don't have a son. At worst, I can find a live-in son-in-law in the future."
The old lady looked at her son's determined eyes, leaned against the wall with her shoulders drooped, and said nothing.
The middle-aged woman glanced at the ragged Liu Ming with a bad expression, feeling that she was being too kind to the dog. "Hmph, that's true. With your poor looks, you don't even have the money to marry a new wife. With your beggar-like appearance, no woman with any brains would be willing to marry you."
This is a bit too much. It not only mocks the other person's poverty, but also calls his wife stupid.
Meng Zhiyu looked at the half-eaten steamed bun left on the middle-aged woman's bedside table and recalled the fried potatoes with shredded pork she had eaten at noon. It seemed that she herself was not very rich, just a little better off than the old lady's family.
It's obviously a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Hearing these humiliating words, the old lady instantly exploded and started to curse at the woman, "You are poor and stupid. Even if my daughter-in-law is a fool, it has nothing to do with you. No matter what my son does, it is not your turn to say anything. You are bullying her son in front of her, and she is not dead yet."
Cuilan and Liu Ming were worried about the old lady's health and hurried to comfort her.
"What does it have to do with you whether my family is rich or not? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll let you see how powerful people without money are." This person instigated her mother-in-law and husband to divorce her, and she knew that he was not a good person.
The middle-aged woman looked at her, her face looked like she wanted to eat someone, and she felt a little jealous. She just snorted coldly and said nothing more. What a fool! She had wanted to remind her mother-in-law that she had said bad things about her, but now she didn't want to say it anymore.
Meng Zhiyu looked at Cuilan in surprise after her sudden outburst. He had thought she was just a pushover who could be bullied, but he didn't expect her to be a thorny one.
Yes, no matter how cowardly a person is, he has his own bottom line and people to protect.
It was getting late, so Zhou's mother took Li Tingman to sleep in the guesthouse and asked her third son to stay behind to keep watch. Of course, the "keeping watch" she mentioned meant that Zhou Songbai had to sleep on the floor.
Meng Zhiyu didn't know what to say to him, so she handed the Chinese character for "Fu" (blessing) she had woven that afternoon to Zhou Songbai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. "Brother Zhou San, I don't know what to give you, so I'll just offer this to you."
The red rope was obtained by Zhou Songbai. She just put in some effort and it was not wrong to say that she was offering flowers to Buddha.
Zhou Songbai looked at the square and sturdy Fu and said, "It's well made."
He had received this thing when he was a child. His deceased grandmother and his mother would make one for him during the Chinese New Year, saying that if he carried it with him, he would be blessed in the new year.
It was a gift from the little girl, and it was indeed the first time I received one. I looked at it for a while, then carefully put it in my pocket. "It's getting late, go to bed."
Although it was already dark outside, looking at the alarm clock in the space, it was just past eight o'clock. In addition, the weather was a bit cloudy today, and there was not a single star outside. When the lights in the ward were turned off, it was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Meng Zhiyu lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, but her consciousness went to the library to read. She didn't know why, but compared to attending classes in the classroom, she preferred reading freely in the library.
I was so engrossed in watching that I forgot the time. When I came to my senses, it was already past midnight.
Meng Zhiyu felt like she hadn't slept for long when she was woken up by the sound of startled voices. "Hey, is this your grandson or granddaughter, a boy or a girl?"
Meng Zhiyu's half-asleep, half-awake complaints, isn't this contradictory?
Then I heard, "Who knows whose child this is? It's not ours."
"Then this person was abandoned by his family. Should we report this to the police?"
"Oh, look, it's a boy. How can you bear to give it up? Others want it but can't. This is someone who has it but doesn't cherish it."
This sudden high-pitched voice completely woke Meng Zhiyu up from her dream. She turned over and looked around the ward, and saw Old Lady Liu standing at the end of her bed, holding a swaddling baby.
Li Tingman, Zhou's mother, and Zhou Songbai were also there. Seeing that she had woken up, Li Tingman came over and said without waiting for her to ask, "I don't know who left this child in the ward. When Aunt Zhou and I came in with breakfast, we saw a small basket on the ground. When we got closer, we found it was a baby."
Afterwards, Zhou's mother asked the other two patients, and they both said that the child was not from their family. The ward was not locked, and there was no surveillance. They didn't know the height, weight, or size of the person who abandoned the child.
Meng Zhiyu went to wash first. When he came back, Zhou's mother and others, as well as some others who came running over after hearing the noise, were all surrounding the baby, talking in a flurry.
The middle-aged woman looked at Old Lady Liu's affectionate expression and said, "Since you like him so much, then take him home. You don't have any grandchildren, and he's a boy. You've got a great bargain."
Old Mrs. Liu was urging her daughter-in-law to hold the baby boy tightly, to see if it would bring her a grandson.
"You are so kind, why don't you take him home to raise? Raising a grandson who is not related by blood is like handing all the family property to an outsider. I might as well eat it all myself."
The old lady put the baby in her daughter-in-law's arms, and did not forget to return the favor verbally.
"With your level of wealth, what kind of property can you possibly have? You might not even have enough to eat." The middle-aged woman couldn't help laughing, with a look of disdain on her face. I don't know where the old woman got the nerve to say that.
Meng Zhiyu was speechless and didn't know where this woman got her sense of superiority from. She always spoke and acted as if she was superior to others.
Not only would she offend people everywhere, but it would also make it easy for people to think her family was very rich, and she might not even know when someone was targeting her.
In the end, it was Lu's mother who called the nurse. After all, the child was found in the ward, and they definitely needed to communicate with the hospital. After all, it was impossible for Mrs. Liu to really take the child back.
