Chapter 9: Discharged from the Hospital and Returning Home
After staying in the hospital for a while, I finally returned home.
Xiao Qingru felt relaxed everywhere.
Once my mood improved, my body didn't seem to feel so bad anymore.
"Mom, when can you and my dad go to the Jiang family and officially cancel the engagement?"
Xiao's mother got what she wanted, "Let's go now. If we solve it as soon as possible, we can feel at ease earlier."
"Mom, I'm sorry."
The two families have a life-long friendship, and now they want to cancel the engagement. Xiao Qingru knows that it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two families.
Maybe it will be embarrassing for everyone when we meet in the future.
But she really couldn't accept Jiang Chuan giving up on her again and again.
She is a living person with flesh and blood. She can be sad and hurt.
"Silly child, you haven't let us down. This is your first time as a human being. Why should you give in to them?"
Those who did something wrong don't feel guilty, so why should they take all the responsibility on themselves?
If the Jiang family has any objections to breaking off the engagement, the worst that can happen is that they won't have any further contact.
Patting his daughter's hand, he said, "Even if you don't mention it, your father and I are planning to cancel this marriage."
I hugged my mother like I did when I was a child, "Thank you, Mom."
"Silly child, we are a family. If we don't stand together at this time, are we going to watch you being bullied by others?"
Xiao Qingru was deeply touched. Her family had always loved her unconditionally.
She is already very happy, and as for love, if it can be the icing on the cake, that would be the best, but if not, that's okay too.
You can still live without love!
"You have a good rest. Your father and I are going to go out for a while. If you need anything, call your brother."
"good."
After settling her daughter down, Xiao's mother moved to the upper floor.
"When is your friend free? Invite him to your house for dinner."
"Let's wait for the next vacation. By then, Qingru's injury will have healed. I can cook something delicious for her to replenish her body."
"That's fine. You can arrange the time."
Xiao Huaishu nodded, "I'll take care of it, don't worry."
Although Xiao's mother often disliked her son, she had to say that this time she made a good friend thanks to him and asked the young man to come to her house to check the water pipes, otherwise how could they have saved their Qingru?
"Your father and I are going to the Jiang family. Please keep an eye on what's going on upstairs."
"clear."
Xiao Xiao had given Jiang Chuan a chance, but now it seemed that the other party did not take his words to heart.
Since you have chosen to go your own way, there is naturally no need for this relationship to continue.
The Jiang family still wanted to keep him, and repeatedly emphasized that they would take good care of Jiang Chuan and would not let him interfere in the affairs of Du Wanqiu and her son.
Until I heard that the two young people had reached an agreement, I knew there was no turning back.
After seeing off the Xiao couple, Jiang Xiao was furious. "Where did you go, brat? Why hasn't you come back yet?"
Jiang's mother trembled, "Du Wanqiu has been discharged from the hospital, and my son has asked for leave to pick her up."
"absurd!"
"This kid is becoming more and more out of line!"
Jiang Xiao was so angry that his breathing became heavier. "Since you knew what he was going to do, why didn't you stop him?"
"A son grows up and is no longer under the control of his mother. Now he doesn't even listen to Qingru. Do you think I can stop him?"
At this point, Jiang's mother couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of magic potion did Du Wanqiu feed her son? How could he become so different?"
"Don't ever say that again."
Family members can make whatever noise they want, but if outsiders hear it and accuse him of having bad conduct, wouldn't his son's future be ruined?
Realizing this, Jiang's mother dared not complain anymore.
I could only pray secretly in my heart, hoping that Du Wanqiu, the plague god, would leave here quickly.
After she leaves, let my son comfort Qingru, and everything will return to normal.
Jiang 꿵 put his hands on his hips and wanted to curse someone, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on. He was so angry that he smashed the enamel teacup.
Jiang's mother quickly picked up the things, and she didn't know how much force she used, but the teacup had several cracks in it.
"Why are you taking your anger out on things at home? Did these things irritate you?"
"Okay, I won't take anything out on you. Send that kid back home, or I'll break his legs!"
His furious look frightened Jiang's mother.
She didn't know how many years it had been since she had seen her husband like this.
Thinking back to the past, he was so angry because his mother-in-law gave the allowance to the eldest wife, and the new daughter-in-law couldn't even sit at the table for meals.
It was from that time that her husband brought her to join the army and started a new life.
Thinking of the past, Jiang's mother comforted him, "Now that everything has been settled, what's the point of beating and scolding him? You might as well think of a way to send Du Wanqiu away."
Jiang 꿵 stiffened his neck and shouted: "I don't care if it works or not! 꿷꽭 must teach that brat a lesson!"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Jiang Chuan wondered, "Dad, who offended you? Why are you so angry? I heard you swearing from outside."
"Kneel down before me, kid!"
Jiang's mother tried to smooth things over, "What year is it now? Who still wants to make someone kneel? Let's talk it over nicely."
Jiang Xiao stared at his son with a serious look, "Where did you go just now?"
"Pick up Comrade Du from the hospital."
Seeing his righteous look, Jiang Xiao became even more angry.
"Who is she to you? Will it be your turn to pick her up when she is discharged from the hospital?"
Jiang Chuan disagreed with this statement, "They are orphans and widows, what's wrong with me helping them?"
"Does Du Wanqiu have no friends in the hospital? If so, you should consider whether she has a character problem, otherwise why would everyone be unwilling to associate with her!"
"Dad, let's just talk about the matter. Why are you bringing insults to others?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
"You are so prejudiced!"
Jiang Xiao's anger suddenly died down. What was the point of saying more if the other party wouldn't listen?
Looking at Jiangchuan, his eyes were full of disappointment.
"Okay, since you think you did nothing wrong, then your mother and I will not care how you take care of them in the future."
This was obviously the result he wanted. He wanted the support of his family and everyone to work together to take care of Du Wanqiu.
But now Jiang Chuan not only couldn't relax, but was also worried.
It seemed like something was out of his control.
"Achuan, Qingru's parents came here just now."
"Mom, what are uncle and aunt doing here? Don't they have any objections because I didn't pick up Qingru from the hospital?"
Jiang's mother had mixed feelings. Of course, she hoped that Xiao Qingru would be her daughter-in-law.
But the Xiao family is such a good family, and now that they want to cancel the engagement, how can they refuse?
"Mom, please say something." Jiang Chuan said anxiously.
No one knows a son better than his mother. No matter what, his son still likes Qingru.
Jiang's mother lowered her voice, "Your marriage with Qingru... is officially cancelled."
In an instant, five thunders struck.
Jiangchuan stood there in a daze. He thought this was just temporary.
Why are you so decisive?
The panic of losing Xiao Qingru swept through his body, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
I had to clench my fists hard to control my shaking hands.
"I'll go find her!"
"Come back to me!"
"dad!"
Jiang Xiao glared at him, "You're anxious now? What were you doing before?"
"I'll go explain it to Qingru."
"You and Qingru grew up together, so you should know her temper very well. Although she looks gentle and polite, she is actually very opinionated. Once she makes a decision, no one can change it."
Jiang Chuan's heart was filled with regret. If he had known that Qingru would take it seriously, he would definitely not have said breakup in the ward.
I will never agree to cancel the engagement!
What should he do now?
What can I do to restore Qingru?
