When Lu Ting returned at 8:30, Lu Yiming and the triplets were already asleep. Su Yan sat by the stove, crocheting woolen hats for her daughters.
"How's your mother?"
"My mother had a full body check-up. Three stitches were needed on her forehead. Her right ankle was fractured and she was given medicine and a splint." Lu Ting threw the blanket on the sofa and put the lunch box back on the table.
Su Yan asked, "Is Dad staying at the hospital tonight?"
"Well, she could have been in a splint and had received some Chinese medicine, but my dad asked my mom to stay in the hospital for two or three days.
My dad said there was no need to bring them food, he would go to the cafeteria to get food, and asked us to take care of the children and not let them fall.
The hospital is full of patients now, and the pediatric and orthopedic beds are full. If we didn’t have connections in the hospital, we wouldn’t be able to get a bed.”
Regardless of the era, hospitals are always packed. My mother-in-law has a broken ankle and can't walk for three months. How should I celebrate the Lunar New Year? I don't think I'll be able to celebrate with them this year, right?
Her triplets are still young, and she doesn't have time to cook New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family.
Hua Min was taken back by Lu Fengnian after staying in the hospital for two days. On the day she was taken back, Su Yan brought Lu Yiming to see her.
Hua Min cannot walk, so she naturally cannot do housework or take care of the children. The housework is directly divided between Zhong Lingshan and Chen Yuhe.
Now they both have to take care of the children, do the laundry, cook, clean and clear the snow in the backyard. Of course, to be fair, they take turns doing these tasks.
Zhong Lingshan gritted her teeth and squatted in the backyard to wash the family's clothes and the two children's dirty diapers. Looking at her red fingers, she wanted to overturn the wooden basin.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, so she decided to take advantage of this time to take her child back to her parents' home. She had originally planned to leave the child with her mother-in-law.
Now my mother-in-law needs someone to take care of her. If she leaves the child at the Lu family, my father-in-law will definitely send someone to send the child to the Air Force immediately.
If she stayed at the Lu family, there would be endless work to do, and she would have to take care of her sick mother-in-law. If she went back, at least she could ask her mother to help take care of the children, and she wouldn't have to cook herself. She could just take the money and tickets to the canteen to get food.
After Zhong Lingshan came up with the idea, she packed her child and her own clothes in a woven bag that night, and went to ask her father-in-law to send a car to take her to the Air Force at noon the next day.
For fear that they would disagree, she said that if she and her daughter continued to stay there, it would only bring trouble to her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, and she also said that she would bring the child back when the weather was better.
Lu Fengnian was very angry when he heard this. Hua Min persuaded him for a while, and finally he thought it through and sent someone to drive the mother and daughter back home.
After Zhong Lingshan left, all the work of the Lu family fell on Chen Yuhe. When Lu Fengnian and Lu Jin went to work, Chen Yuhe put her daughter in the cradle and asked Lu Yilan to look after her, and then started to get busy.
Lu Ting came back and told Su Yan that Zhong Lingshan had left with the child. At first, Su Yan didn't believe it, but after Lu Yiming came back and told her something, she finally believed it. The woman was really gone.
If she left, she left. Su Yan didn't care about Zhong Lingshan's affairs. Today, she took the children and Lu Ting back to her parents' home to see her eldest brother off.
Originally, she hadn't planned to take her children with her, and she wasn't comfortable leaving them with outsiders.
Jiang Lingling burst into tears as soon as she saw Su Yan, saying that their Su family was unlucky this year.
Su Yan didn't see Wang Yan at home, so she asked, "Mom, where's my sister-in-law?"
"When your sister-in-law found out that your brother had been transferred to the Northwest and couldn't come back, she took the initiative to ask for a divorce. Originally, even if she had asked for a divorce, your brother was prepared to let her go, saying that he didn't want to be a burden to her."
"What about the two children?"
"Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Your sister-in-law said she doesn't want any children. I suspect that woman must have found another husband long ago."
"If I had known my sister-in-law would get divorced, I shouldn't have let her come home to play."
"It's not your fault that Wang Yan fell for your brother. They started having relationship problems when they were separated due to work. Now, because of your brother's secondment, Wang Yan is worried that your brother won't be able to come back and that it will bring trouble to her, so she took the initiative to file for divorce."
Su Yan also understood that in times of turmoil, many people could not stand the test. In the face of interests and future, what did feelings mean to them?
Some couples have been married for decades, but in the end, because one of them is going to be demoted, the other one not only immediately files for divorce, but also publishes an advertisement in the newspaper to sever ties.
Most people can only share happiness but not suffering. Dramas like abandoning husbands and children, wives and daughters are played out every day.
Lu Ting brought the triplets to chat with Su Ze in the living room, while Su Yan took Jiang Lingling back to her room.
"Mom, it's better for my brother to be transferred to the Northwest than to stay in Beijing and be harmed. As long as he works hard there, he might be transferred back in five or six years."
"Your brother is a man of letters, a man of letters. He can't carry anything on his shoulders or in his hands. I'm afraid he'll be bullied there. And the two children at home are pitiful too. Their parents are divorced and they don't know anything."
"They will understand when they grow up. Are my second brother and second sister-in-law okay?"
"They usually bicker a bit, but even if they do, when it comes to the crunch time, your sister-in-law loves your brother.
Mom knows now that those who keep quiet are the most ruthless. How come Wang Yan doesn't even want a child?
Who would help her take care of the child? It would also affect her chances of getting married. She might have already been in a relationship with someone in Jinshi for the past few years. Who could she blame? It was fate that had assigned her a job far away. Living apart would definitely affect her relationship.
Su Yan waved her hand and the room was instantly filled. Jiang Lingling looked at the food and New Year's goods.
"Yan Yan, why did you give so many things at once?"
