"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with this soda?" Zhou Rourou asked cautiously, with a bad premonition in her heart.
Xu Zhixia didn't say anything. He pressed his throat with his fingers and spit out the small sip he had just taken.
Cold sweat ran down her forehead and she was breathing heavily.
He also did not forget to comfort Zhou Rourou: "It's okay, Rourou, take me to the infirmary, and then go find your brother..."
After just a few words, she realized something was wrong.
A blush welled up on Xu Zhixia's face, making her mouth feel dry.
She barely managed to control her thoughts, stay awake, and arrange everything rationally.
A hint of panic appeared on Zhou Rourou's face, but she calmed down under her arrangement.
He helped Xu Zhixia to the infirmary in a hurry, and after sending her to the doctor, he ran towards the troops.
At this moment, neither of them noticed that when they just walked out of the house, a familiar pair of eyes fell on their figures.
Sun Jun looked panicked. Why was Zhou Rourou fine, but Xu Zhixia... seemed to have problems?
If it is discovered that he did it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When Zhou Rourou arrived at the army, Zhou An was training his soldiers.
After listening to Zhou Rourou's brief explanation of the whole story, Zhou An's face suddenly darkened, and a storm surged in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said coldly, "I'll go now."
After he finished speaking, he asked Gangzi to ask Political Commissar Zhou for leave for him, and then he strode away.
Zhou Rourou looked at his back and gradually calmed down.
She called Gangzi: "Wait, I'll go with you."
Maybe the Zhou family is still too low-key, and someone actually dares to mess with them.
It seems that she needs to tell her uncle and others about this.
Zhou An had already arrived at the ward, and Xu Zhixia had fallen asleep.
The doctor recognized him and came over and said, "The patient is fine now."
"Fortunately, it was handled properly and there was no impact."
"But be careful, if there is a next time..."
The rest of the words were not finished, but the meaning was self-evident.
Zhou An said coldly: "There won't be a next time."
His gaze fell on Xu Zhixia, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
This time, he failed to protect Xu Zhixia again.
After hearing the news, Xu's father and mother hurried over.
Although they knew that this incident was caused by Zhou Rourou, they had no intention of taking their anger out on her.
This made Zhou Rourou feel even more guilty, and she stayed by Xu Zhixia's bedside.
It was not until night that Xu Zhixia slowly opened his eyes.
Without even looking around, she knew she was in the infirmary by the smell of disinfectant coming from her nose.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, feeling a little helpless.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake." Zhou Rourou noticed the movement here and spoke in surprise.
Xu Zhixia looked over and saw a look of worry in her eyes.
Xu Zhixia felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She patted her hand soothingly and uttered in a hoarse voice, "Rou Rou, I'm fine."
“Don’t feel guilty.”
These four simple words made Zhou Rourou's eyes tear up and she almost cried.
Her sister-in-law was such a gentle person that her first reaction in this situation was to comfort her.
"It must be that Sun Jun who did this. Just wait, sister-in-law. I'll make sure he gets what he deserves."
Zhou Rourou said this almost gritting her teeth.
She just looks weak, but she is not a flower grown in a greenhouse.
Because she was taking care of Xu Zhixia, she had no time to settle accounts with Sun Jun.
But now that Xu Zhixia is fine, some things need to be settled.
"Don't worry about this matter."
A cold voice sounded, and Zhou An strode in.
He continued, "The teacher assigned to you has arrived. You can leave as usual tomorrow, and leave the rest to me."
A hint of unwillingness flashed in Zhou Rourou's eyes. When she wanted to say a few more words, she saw Zhou An's expression and the rest of the words got stuck in her throat.
That's right, she forgot that her brother is more powerful than her.
Zhou An's actions will only make those people regret more.
Thinking of this, she no longer insisted and agreed.
Zhou Rourou said a few more words and then tactfully left the ward, leaving the remaining space to the couple.
An atmosphere of silence spread in the air and no one spoke for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zhixia spoke first: "Zhou An, I'm really fine..."
Zhou An's hoarse voice rang out: "But Xia Xia, I'm scared."
It was even worse than the last time I encountered human traffickers on the train.
He couldn't imagine what life would be like after losing Xu Zhixia.
Xu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, noticing his panic.
She took the initiative to reach out and hold his hand: "It was just an accident, I'm fine, right?"
Zhou An was not comforted and became even more angry with Sun Jun.
Although he thought this in his heart, he did not show it on the surface.
His eyes were lowered, hiding the expression in them.
Seeing that he was unwilling to continue this topic, Xu Zhixia had no choice but to stop talking.
...
When Zhou's father returned home, he saw Zhou's mother packing her luggage.
He was startled and said jokingly: "Why are you packing up? I haven't bothered you these two days."
Mother Zhou glanced at him with a serious look on her face and continued with what she was doing.
Father Zhou noticed something was wrong and frowned.
He lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
Mother Zhou took a deep breath, but the anger in her tone still couldn't be controlled.
"Someone drugged Rourou, and Xia Xia accidentally swallowed it."
Seeing Zhou's father's expression change drastically, she quickly added: "Fortunately, there is no danger, it has been resolved now."
"But I'm worried, I have to go and take a look."
After a pause, he continued, "I'm just taking care of Xia Xia over there. I'll come back after she's out of confinement."
Father Zhou nodded: "That's how it should be."
Even if Zhou An's mother-in-law was there, it would be inappropriate for them as the parents-in-law not to express their support.
They all like Xu Zhixia, so it is reasonable for them to take care of her for a while.
If he could get leave, he would have wanted to go with them.
Zhou's father asked, "Have you bought the tickets?"
Mother Zhou nodded and said, "I asked the guard to buy it for me. We'll be leaving soon."
It’s just right to go to the island and support Xia Xia.
Let everyone know that the daughter-in-law of their Zhou family is not so easy to bully.
At this time, Xu Zhixia didn't know that Zhou's mother was on the way.
She was agonizing over how to refuse admission to the infirmary.
But Xu's father and mother and Zhou An all looked worried and persuaded her to stay here and observe.
In the end, Xu Zhixia took a step back and agreed to stay in the hospital for observation for three days.
She touched her belly and felt a little scared.
The sudden sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts and she looked over.
