"Stop!" Jiang Xuan strode over. "What are you doing? What right do you have to hit Xiuxiu?"
Seeing that Lu Shengye was also there, Zhang Guiying didn't dare to be too arrogant. She just said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you meddling so much? Is it illegal for me to educate my own granddaughter?"
Jiang Xuan sneered: "Insulting your granddaughter, beating your granddaughter, and insulting your daughter-in-law in front of your granddaughter, your parenting style is indeed quite novel."
She walked over and pulled Xiuxiu's hands away from her head: "Xiuxiu, are you alright?"
Xiuxiu sobbed, "Auntie, I feel dizzy."
Zhang Guiying glared at her and said angrily, "You little brat, you're quite the actor."
"Grandma, I'm not faking it, I really am dizzy."
Jiang Xuan: "Did she just hit you on the head?"
Xiuxiu nodded.
That old hag is really going too far.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Zhang Guiying reacted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Go to the hospital? Are you kidding me?"
Sun Juxiang puffed on his pipe, seemingly not taking it seriously at all.
Jiang Xuan said coldly, "Xiuxiu is complaining of a headache? Why aren't you taking her to the hospital for a checkup? If you accidentally hurt the child, can you take responsibility?"
Lu Shengye: "Let's go to the military hospital; there are neurosurgeons there."
Zhang Guiying yelled at the top of her lungs, "What hospital? That brat was just faking a headache to fool you, and you actually believed her!"
Jiang Xuan sneered: "Whether it's faking illness or not, the doctor has the final say."
Lu Shengye: "I'll go settle Diandian and Fanxing in first, then I'll borrow a car later."
"No need, we have a bicycle at home."
Zhang Guiying was so angry that spittle flew everywhere: "You really know how to cause trouble? Do you think you're something special just because you bought a bicycle and want to show it off? Besides, this is a family matter for the Sun family, why are you meddling in it?"
“If you dare treat Xiuxiu like this, I’ll make things worse, and you’ll have to go to the hospital with me.”
"Go if you want, I don't have time for that."
After settling Diandian and Fanxing in, Lu Shengye came out and gave her a cold look.
Zhang Guiying chickened out, but still stubbornly insisted: "Fine, I'll go. I want to see if the hospital can find anything out. But I'm making it clear beforehand, I won't pay for the tests!"
Jiang Xuan was too lazy to waste words with her.
You can refuse to pay the examination fee, but your good days are over.
Sun Juxiang finally couldn't stand it anymore. He threw down his cigarette butt, stomped on it, and slowly walked over, saying, "What are you doing? The neighbors will laugh at you. We appreciate your good intentions, but a grandmother disciplining her grandson is perfectly reasonable, even if you argue to heaven. Let us handle this family matter ourselves."
Jiang Xuan said coldly, "You've beaten the child so badly that he's practically a family matter? By your logic, the police wouldn't care if someone committed murder or arson at home?"
Sun Juxiang choked and turned back into the house.
Lu Shengye placed Xiuxiu on the back of the bicycle. Jiang Xuan, afraid that she would fall off due to dizziness, held her up the whole time. Zhang Guiying followed behind angrily.
He cursed inwardly.
A dozen minutes later, they arrived at the military hospital.
The military hospital was quite crowded. I registered for the emergency room, but because there were more urgent cases ahead of me, I ended up waiting for almost an hour before it was my turn.
After examination, the doctor diagnosed the patient with a mild concussion and multiple soft tissue injuries.
As he wrote in the medical record, he said sternly, "How could you be such a parent? Three slaps can cause a concussion in a child. How much force did you have to use?"
Zhang Guiying: "I didn't use much force, I just patted it lightly. Why are babies these days so precious?"
Xiuxiu looked at Zhang Guiying with a pitiful expression, tears welling up in her eyes.
Jiang Xuan sneered and said, "Just a light pat? How dare you say such a flippant thing in front of the doctor and the child? Why don't I give you a light pat and see if I give you a concussion?"
"you……"
The doctor glanced at Zhang Guiying and warned, "Last year, an old lady pushed her grandson down the stairs and was sentenced to two years of re-education through labor! This isn't the old society anymore; hitting children seriously can land you in jail!"
Jiang Xuan said to the doctor, "Doctor, my child also has pinch marks on his arm. Shouldn't that be recorded in the medical record as well?"
Zhang Guiying glared at Jiang Xuan, "Why did you write this?"
The doctor ignored her and wrote it all in, telling Jiang Xuan, "These medications should be taken three times a day. The child must rest in bed for three days, and her head must not be moved. If vomiting or confusion occurs, take her to the emergency room immediately. Post-concussion syndrome can last a lifetime."
Jiang Xuan nodded, thanked the doctor, and left.
Lu Shengye and the others waited outside.
It was already past nine o'clock when I got home.
The kitchen light was on, and Ma Xiaolan was boiling water in the kitchen.
"Sister Lan."
"mom."
"Oh, you're back?" Ma Xiaolan walked out quickly. "Is Xiuxiu alright?"
Zhang Guiying glanced at Jiang Xuan guiltily and said, "It's nothing, I'll be fine after taking medicine for a couple of days."
Jiang Xuan handed over the medical records and medication, saying, "Sister Lan, take a look for yourself. It's a concussion."
"Oh, is it that serious?" Ma Xiaolan touched her daughter's head with concern. "How could you be so careless? Where did you bump your head?"
Jiang Xuan: ? ?
"What do you mean 'accidentally'? Xiuxiu was beaten by your mother-in-law."
This time, it was Ma Xiaolan's turn to be completely bewildered.
When she came back, her father-in-law told her that Xiuxiu had accidentally fallen and hit her head, and Jiang Xuan and Lu Shengye had taken her to the hospital.
Zhang Guiying also went.
Although Ma Xiaolan was anxious, she wasn't so worried when she thought of Jiang Xuan and Lu Shengye.
Ma Xiaolan raised her voice incredulously: "Mom, you gave Xiuxiu a concussion?"
"I just patted it lightly, who knows if the doctor made a mistake during the examination?"
Jiang Xuan: "If it weren't for Sheng Ye, I wouldn't be able to get an appointment with the neurosurgeons at the military hospital. Do you think they would make a mistake in their diagnosis?"
Ma Xiaolan had lost control. She grabbed Zhang Guiying's sleeve and cried out, "Mom, how could you do this? Xiuxiu is your own granddaughter! How could you hit her like this? What terrible thing did she do to deserve this?"
"What are you doing?" Zhang Guiying shook off his arm and shouted, "I already said it was an accident, I didn't use any force, what more do you want? Then eat me! Eat me!"
What a shrew.
Jiang Xuan has seen it all.
She admired Ma Xiaolan more and more. How did she manage to endure all these years?
However, if she chooses to tolerate it again this time, then she is truly beyond saving.
Jiang Xuan quietly tugged at Lu Shengye and whispered, "Let's go back."
Ma Xiaolan was furious and didn't bother to talk to Jiang Xuan and the others. Pointing at Zhang Guiying, her lips trembled, "My Xiuxiu has always been so well-behaved and obedient. How could you beat her so badly that she had a concussion while I wasn't home? Are you even human?"
