Ma Xiuzhu muttered a few words but didn't dare to talk back.

Now the whole family is on the side of the young daughter-in-law, and the financial power is in her hands. If we offend her, what will we do if she stops paying us the monthly pension?

She has learned to be smart now. She doesn't get stubborn when she shouldn't, and she endures when she should. Otherwise, she will be the one who loses face in the end.

Li Fengyi was impressed to see that Yang Niannian dared to confront Ma Xiuzhu head-on, and he also felt relieved after listening to her.

A few people sat in the ward and chatted about family matters for a while. Ma Xiuzhu's eyes were never idle and kept wandering around the ward. While everyone was chatting, she walked to the gift box and muttered to herself.

"Who sent these and what are they? There are so many big and small packages, and they are not even cleaned up. The place is small to begin with, and there is no space to step on."

She sounded like she was going to pack up her things, but actually she had no intention of doing so. She was rummaging around with her hands to see what everyone had given her.

Lu Ruoling knew Ma Xiuzhu's temper very well, and when she saw her eyes shining, she spoke.

"Mom, these are all sent by my second sister-in-law's friends. There is malted milk and other things. There are so many that Fengyi and I can't finish them. You can take some back and feed them to the children."

The children she was referring to were nieces and nephews.

Seeing that her daughter was understanding, Ma Xiuzhu finally smiled.

"Your daughter is too young to eat it, and you two can't eat much either. You have to take some away. I heard that if you keep it for too long, it will probably expire."

Lu Qingyuan was extremely embarrassed. They only brought two old hens, which was already shabby enough, and his mother even wanted to take some things away, making him too embarrassed to face his brother-in-law.

"You don't need anything at home. These things are given to you by others to visit you. You can keep them to nourish your body."

Lu Guozhi also felt that his wife was going too far and glared at her.

"This is for Ruoling and Fengyi to replenish their bodies, don't worry about it."

Ma Xiuzhu was about to retort when there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Yueyue ran to open the door nimbly, then her eyes lit up and she shouted happily.

"Sister Yuting."

Zhang Yuting rubbed her hair and said, "You've grown taller again."

When Yang Niannian heard that it was Zhang Yuting who came, she also stood up to greet her, "Yuting."

Zhang Yuting was holding a bag of eggs and malted milk.

"My mother has been busy these past two days and has no time to come over, so she asked me to buy some things and come over to see Ruoling and Fengyi."

Without waiting for Yang Niannian to speak, Ma Xiuzhu walked forward with a greedy look on her face and took the thing from Zhang Yuting as if she was snatching it.

"I'm here now, what else do you want to bring?"

Zhang Yuting was startled by this sudden scene. She smiled and said, "I didn't buy anything, just a little token of my appreciation."

Ma Xiuzhu was focused on looking at things and didn't care what Zhang Yuting said.

Li Fengyi and Lu Ruoling also quickly talked to Zhang Yuting. Zhang Yuting walked to the bedside, took a quick look at the two people's conditions, asked some basic questions, and then comforted them.

"You two are recovering well."

He then looked at Li Fengyi and said in a gentle voice, "You had a leg amputation, but your joints are not damaged. Once you have recovered, we can customize a prosthesis that fits you. You can wear long pants like a normal person, and you can't tell unless you roll up your pants."

Although custom prosthetic limbs may cost a small fortune, it is better than limping.

When Li Fengyi heard Zhang Yuting say this, he felt more at ease. She is a doctor and her words carry a lot of weight.

Said a little excitedly.

"As long as I don't have to use a cane to walk and it doesn't affect my work, that's fine."

Zhang Yuting said confidently, "It won't affect me. It's just that I may feel a little uncomfortable when I first wear the prosthesis, but it will be fine after a while."

It was not time to get off work yet, so she could not stay too long. "You guys have a good rest. I am on duty tonight. If you have anything, please come to the duty room to find me. I will go over first."

Jiang Yueyue waved her little hand, "Goodbye, Sister Yuting."

"Goodbye." Zhang Yuting said with a smile.

Yang Niannian sent Zhang Yuting to the corridor outside and asked worriedly.

“Will Fengyi’s legs, when he wears a prosthesis, really be indistinguishable from the real thing?”

Medical care at that time had not yet reached the level of the 21st century. She was actually a little unsure whether the current prosthetic limbs were that good.

Don't walk with a limp, otherwise it will cause secondary psychological trauma to Li Fengyi.

Zhang Yuting consoled him, "Don't worry, he amputated his lower leg, not his knee, which is much better than amputating his thigh. It's not exactly like the real thing, but at least if you don't look closely, you can't tell it's a fake leg."

"I have seen a patient who had a lower leg amputation before. After wearing the prosthesis, the effect was very good. It's just that at the beginning, it may be difficult to get used to it and it may be a bit difficult. If the funds are sufficient, you can customize a better quality one."

Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Money is not a problem. As long as he can walk and live like a normal person, it's fine. He is still so young. If he has to use crutches in the future, he probably won't be able to bear it."

Zhang Yuting nodded, looked her up and down, and said enviously.

"Nian Nian, you are getting more and more beautiful. I am amazed every time I see you."

The girls I know start to revolve around their husbands and children after getting married, and many of them lose their self-identity.

Only Yang Niannian becomes more beautiful every year, lives out her true self, and makes people see the beauty of marriage and yearn for it.

Yang Niannian subconsciously touched her face and found it was indeed very smooth. She was very happy but smiled modestly on the surface.

"I don't usually think about things. I haven't had a child yet and don't have to take care of one, so maybe I don't worry too much."

Thinking of something, he asked again, "Have you been back to the military family compound recently? I haven't visited An An for a long time. I'll take some time to go back and see him these two days."

Speaking of An An, Zhang Yuting smiled and said, "I just went back a few days ago. An An was very well behaved and had grown a lot taller. Last time, she told me that she missed me."

Yang Niannian was a little embarrassed, "I'm not doing my job as a godmother well, and I can't come back to see him often."

The two chatted briefly for a while, and tacitly did not mention Lu Nianfei.

When Yang Niannian returned to the ward, she saw Ma Xiuzhu scolding Aunt Zhou because Aunt Zhou and Lu Guozhi were standing too close to each other and she was unhappy.

Aunt Zhou didn't want to argue with her, so she left the ward under the pretext of going to the restroom.

As soon as she left, Ma Xiuzhu asked with a stinky face.

"Who hired this caregiver? He's obviously not a decent person. He just kept sticking to your dad. He's still so frivolous at such an old age. He must not have been a good person when he was young."

Lu Guozhi's old face turned red and his eyes widened with anger.

"As a mother, why are you talking nonsense in front of your children?"

Seeing that her husband was really angry, Ma Xiuzhu finally shut up. However, before she was quiet for a few minutes, she started to find fault with him somewhere else.

"She took so long to go to the toilet. She must have been lazy outside. I don't think she is a diligent person. Whose caregiver is dressed like this?"

In fact, Aunt Zhou didn't dress up and was wearing very ordinary clothes. It was just that Ma Xiuzhu didn't like her and felt that there was something wrong with her.
