Yun Muye sent Shen Huaian downstairs, and the women who were looking after the children came up to him, wanting to know about Li Yuling’s situation.
"Captain Yun, how is Aunt Li?"
Yun Muye frowned and asked gloomily,
"Just now, who told Yunshuang that my mother was dying?"
The women looked at each other, and retreated guiltily.
"Li Xiufang said that she saw you running out in a panic, and she also saw Doctor Shen running over, and she said that Aunt Li was dying."
Shen Huaian took a step forward and scolded:
"My dear aunts and sisters-in-law, if you have nothing better to do, talk more about raising children and taking care of the family, and stop spreading rumors. Aunt Li is fine, her blood pressure is just a little high, and she'll be fine after taking blood pressure medicine. How did you spread the word that Aunt Li is dying? Rumors are as fierce as tigers."
The women lowered their heads in guilt and shirked responsibility from each other.
"We just heard it from others, who knew it was fake?"
"That's what Li Xiufang said. It has nothing to do with us!"
"That's right, I'm glad Aunt Li is okay. We are just kind-hearted and concerned about her."
At this time, Li Xiufang and Zhou Saozi came over carrying things, and the women called her,
"Li Xiufang! Come here and explain things to Captain Yun!"
"What do you want to explain?" Li Xiufang ran to Shen Huaian,
"Hey! Doctor Shen, is Aunt Li okay?"
"It's okay, sister-in-law, just stop spreading rumors. You've almost killed a good person!"
Shen Huaian spoke with a hint of complaint. These people had frightened Yun Shuang a lot just now. Li Xiufang was puzzled.
"When did I spread rumors?"
The women accused her one after another.
"Didn't you say that Aunt Li was dying?"
"Exactly! You said she was dying and called the doctors!"
Li Xiufang was sweating profusely and tried her best to explain:
"I mean, my aunt is sick, maybe seriously ill. When did I ever say she was dying?"
The women also became anxious and began to blame Li Xiufang.
"Doesn't being seriously ill mean she's dying? It's you who didn't explain yourself clearly, causing us all to misunderstand that Aunt Li is dying!"
"that is!"
"Li Xiufang, we all listened to you and told Yunshuang that his mother was dying. It scared Yunshuang!"
Li Xiufang was speechless and angrily took a bag of eggs upstairs and went home to cry to her husband. Li Xiufang's husband was Liu Qiang, who also scolded her.
"You're such a chatterbox, what can I say about you? You just spread rumors everywhere. Did you see with your own eyes that Aunt Li was sick and dying? Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Don't say things you don't understand! Look at all the mess you've made. What do the people in Captain Yun's family think? If they don't know, they'll think you're hoping for his death."
"Liu Qiang! What nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly hope for Aunt Li's death? I'm so wronged!"
Li Xiufang was crying with tears streaming down her face. She had good intentions, so how could the news spread like this? How could she have the face to see Aunt Li?
Liu Qiang grabbed a handful of hair in frustration.
"I'll go upstairs with you to see Aunt Li and apologize to Captain Yun and his family."
Li Xiufang raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, went to the sink to wash her face, and combed her hair again.
"Let's go, let's go see Aunt Li."
Liu Qiang and Li Xiufang went out together and knocked on Yun Muye's door. Li Xiufang tightly grasped the bag of eggs in her fingers.
"Captain Yun, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I apologize to you. I heard that I scared Yun Shuang. I feel really bad about it."
Yun Muye heard all the messy rumors outside. Everyone in the family compound was saying that his mother was dying. He was suppressed in anger and spoke in a cold and hard tone.
"Sister-in-law, watch your mouth from now on. Be careful what you say."
"Sister-in-law knows she was wrong."
Li Xiufang wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold it back. She was the one who caused this, so she deserved it. Liu Qiang pursed his lips and looked at Yun Muye with apology.
"Muye, this is my fault. I didn't control her well and let her talk nonsense outside. This kind of thing will never happen again. However, she really didn't mean any harm. When she heard that Aunt Li was not well, she quickly ran to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy eggs and came to see Aunt Li."
It was precisely because of this that Yun Muye couldn't get angry. Gu Zhinian came over, greeted Li Xiufang with a smile, and invited the two of them in.
"Mom woke up and asked me to take my sister-in-law over."
Yun Muye made way and Liu Qiang and Li Xiufang walked into the house.
Yun Muye didn't want to give Liu Qiang the cold shoulder, so he poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. The two of them chatted about things in the army.
Gu Zhinian took Li Xiufang to the bedroom. Li Xiufang felt guilty and put the eggs on the table. "Zhi Nian, is Auntie okay?"
"Much better. I just took some medicine and had a good sleep. My blood pressure has also dropped."
"That's good." Li Xiufang wiped her tears and held Gu Zhinian's hand tightly.
"You said I'm a person with a broken mouth. I always like to exaggerate and cause people to misunderstand me, but I really don't have any bad intentions."
Gu Zhinian smiled slightly, listened silently, and took her to the bedroom. Yunshuang and Xiao Tangyuan were sitting on the side eating roasted sweet potatoes.
Both the big and the small were scared just now. Now Li Yuling was fine, and Yunshuang felt hungry, so she took out the still warm roasted sweet potato and stuffed it into her mouth.
Seeing Li Xiufang, he put down the roasted sweet potato and called her sister-in-law. Li Xiufang walked over.
"Yunshuang, I'm sorry for what I said. I made people misunderstand me."
Yun Shuang's throat choked. Thinking of the heartache she had just felt, she felt uncomfortable again. She said sullenly, "Sister-in-law, please be more careful with your words in the future. Don't be so scary."
"Yes! My sister-in-law is a bastard and scared you."
Yunshuang lowered her head and continued eating the roasted sweet potatoes.
Li Xiufang sat on a chair beside the bed, holding Li Yuling's hands with both hands.
"Auntie, are you feeling better?"
Li Yuling smiled and jokingly said, "You're such a warm-hearted person. You have to go check on everyone who has problems!"
Li Xiufang sniffed,
"Aunt, please don't tease me. This bad habit of mine was developed when I was in the countryside. I gossip about other people all day long and tell everything to others. My Liu Qiang has scolded me many times, but I just can't change."
Li Yuling patted her gently and said, "You! You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I don't know you."
Li Xiufang chatted with Li Yuling for a few words and then left, fearing that it would disturb Li Yuling's rest.
Gu Zhinian sat on the sofa and chatted with Yun Muye.
"Makino, I want to take a few days off and stay at home to take care of my mother."
Yunshuang came over and said with red eyes:
"Sister-in-law, I'm taking leave to take care of mom!"
"No need!" Gu Zhinian pulled her over to sit next to him. "If you ask for leave, there are so many children in the kindergarten and the teachers won't be able to take care of them all. What if one of the children gets hurt?"
Yun Shuang lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs. This incident frightened her greatly.
"I'm worried about Mom."
Yun Muye rubbed her head and said, "I'll stay and take care of Mom. You two can go to work. I'm free these few days."
