Xu Xiuzhen, who was repeatedly teetering between hope and despair, wanted to raise her hand to touch the corner of her mouth. Because saliva kept uncontrollably flowing down that side of her mouth.
"Don't move!"
An unfamiliar voice came, and her hand, which she had just raised, was pressed back down.
"The patient is not fully conscious yet. Family members must be careful not to remove any medical equipment. Her condition is still not very stable."
As soon as the words were spoken, Xu Xiuzhen could barely make out from the corner of her eye that the person who spoke was wearing a white nurse's uniform with blue flowers and a white nurse's cap.
As her eyeliner gradually became clearer, she realized that she seemed to be in a hospital.
No!
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen was on the verge of collapse.
With a quick glance, she spotted Zhou Chunhua not far away.
The Zhou Chunhua at this time was not the Zhou Chunhua she remembered, who was plump and spindle-shaped with pointed ends and a round middle.
"You're awake?"
Zhou Chunhua's face reappeared before her eyes.
"Why... are you kneeling here?" The barely audible words escaped his lips, drool dripping from the corners of his mouth.
She wasn't reborn... but was rescued at the hospital!
Xu Xiuzhen had no choice but to face this cruel reality.
"Don't get me wrong! If Uncle Wang hadn't called and asked me to come, I would never have bothered with your business." Zhou Chunhua's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Li live next door to the Liao family; they are two very kind and helpful neighbors.
When she was in postpartum confinement after giving birth to Nini, Xu Xiuzhen not only gave her a cold shoulder because she had a daughter, but also "took care" of her by feeding her instant noodles three times a day.
Even Aunt Li next door couldn't bear to see it, so she cooked the fish that Uncle Wang had caught into fish soup and gave it to her to drink.
Later, Aunt Li even chased after Uncle Wang to go fishing every day so that she could make fish soup to nourish her body.
Back then, if it weren't for Aunt Li occasionally preparing nutritious soups for her, her health would probably have collapsed long ago.
During this time, when Nini cried incessantly, it was Aunt Li who taught her how to take care of the baby.
After she finished her postpartum confinement, Xu Xiuzhen started making her do this and that again. When she was too busy, Aunt Li would take the initiative to help her take care of Nini.
It's fair to say that Aunt Li and Uncle Wang treated her far better than Xu Xiuzhen did.
There's an old saying: a grudge from the postpartum period lasts a lifetime. The kindness shown during the postpartum period is also something to be remembered for a lifetime.
So when Aunt Li called her in the early morning to say that Xu Xiuzhen had an accident, although she was very reluctant and didn't want to care about Xu Xiuzhen's life or death, she still rushed to the hospital out of consideration for Aunt Li's feelings.
If someone else comes to her, she will not only ignore whether Xu Xiuzhen lives or dies, but will also happily buy a string of firecrackers to celebrate.
"Don't worry! Once it's light and the community workers are at work, I'll have someone call them and ask them to take care of you."
When she arrived at the hospital, she called Su Mu, but the phone was switched off.
So all we can do is stay here until dawn and let the community handle it.
After saying that, Zhou Chunhua pulled a chair to the bedside, plopped down, and planned to take a nap until dawn.
It wasn't that they intended to stay with Xu Xiuzhen, but rather that the ward was simply too cramped.
Two hospital beds, and two small, narrow passageways.
Liao Nanxing used to be able to earn money and was willing to spend money on Xu Xiuzhen, so every time Xu Xiuzhen was hospitalized, she almost always stayed in a single room.
Zhou Chunhua closed her eyes, choosing to ignore it.
After all, she and Xu Xiuzhen had long since reached the point of mutual loathing.
Suddenly, Zhou Chunhua felt a touch, opened her eyes wide, and pulled her hand away, staring in disbelief.
"You're really something, aren't you? You've got a seat, you're talking nonsense, are you going to take the test or not?"
Seeing Xu Xiuzhen's ashamed expression, Zhou Chunhua frowned.
She roughly understood what Xu Xiuzhen was saying: Chunhua, I know I was wrong, please forgive me.
But it's strange that such words came from Xu Xiuzhen's mouth!
Anyone would be terrified if they had such a vicious mother-in-law who suddenly changed her ways.
Zhou Chunhua unconsciously moved her chair back, so that the back of the chair was directly against the bed next to her.
She was a little worried that Xu Xiuzhen might be up to some tricks again to get revenge for her son.
“I don’t want to talk about you anymore. You’ve suffered so much in all those years.” Xu Xiuzhen said, her eyes reddening.
Listening to her half-understood words, Zhou Chunhua lost her patience: "So what? You're not thinking that if you say a few nice things, I should act like a saint, showing all magnanimity, and then say that I'm not angry with you anymore, and you should just focus on getting better?"
Xu Xiuzhen shook her head.
"So, Su Mu doesn't care about you, and your son can't take care of you now, so you're thinking of saying a few nice things to me so that I'll serve you as before without complaint, so that you can save money on hiring a caregiver, right?"
Xu Xiuzhen is capable of doing something like this.
"Uh..."
Before Xu Xiuzhen could finish speaking, Zhou Chunhua interrupted her directly: "Alright! Save your energy! Don't say I don't believe you'll sincerely apologize; even if you do, I can't forgive you!"
The harm you, Su Mu, and your son have caused to me and my daughter is already done! If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police or laws?
Seeing that Xu Xiuzhen's eyes were red, Zhou Chunhua got up and left the ward without hesitation.
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen's tears of regret finally flowed.
Su Mu is really not even as good as Zhou Chunhua's toenail!
