"Rongrong, you're not dead?" When Lu Mantang saw the living Lu Rong, the man in his fifties burst into tears and rushed over like a child, hugging Lu Rong tightly.
Lu Rong was choked by him and could hardly breathe. She had known Lu Mantang for decades. He was the eldest son in his family. Apart from seeing him shed tears when his parents passed away, she had never seen him cry. His crying made Lu Rong's heart soften.
"Brother Mantang, I'm still alive."
Lu Mantang realized he had gone too far, so he patted the girl on the shoulder and said "good" several times.
The corridor wasn't a place to talk, and Lu Mantang, unusually, showed his emotions, feeling embarrassed after crying.
In the ward, Sister-in-law Lu lay on the bed, her face pale.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, are you alright?"
Seeing his eldest daughter-in-law's pale face, Lu Rong's heart jumped.
Sister-in-law Lu shook her head, "It's alright, the doctor said she'll be fine after a few days of rest."
She was more worried about Lu Rong.
When the news of Lu Rong's death first spread through the Yang family, neither he nor his eldest brother believed it.
They thought Yang Lin and the Yang family were just talking nonsense again.
But the rumors intensified, and the leader became increasingly uneasy, even having nightmares every day, dreaming that Lu Rong was tied up and shot to death, and that Qiao Wanyue was also violated by human traffickers.
They called the military region, but the military region said that Lu Rong had left.
At first, they were able to wait patiently for Lu Rong to return, but one day, two days, three days passed, and Lu Rong still didn't come back.
They then completely panicked.
"Why are you crying?"
Sister-in-law Lu's eyes were full of tears.
Lu Rong reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'm fine too."
Sister-in-law Lu was a sentimental person. She had only lived for a few decades. She was simple-minded, impulsive, not sweet-talking, and not likable. No one liked her. After marrying into the Lu family, her mother-in-law and husband were the only two people who liked her.
Her parents longed to have a child, and after seven pregnancies, they finally had their youngest son. They spoiled him rotten and treated their daughter with constant beatings and scoldings. Before she got married, she almost never had a full meal.
Unlike other mothers-in-law who are harsh on their daughters-in-law, Lu Rong genuinely cares for her daughters-in-law and takes care of everything inside and outside the house. She and her eldest son, Lu Laoda, are not particularly capable, and Lu Rong is the one who helps raise the house and children.
She had long regarded Lu Rong as her own mother.
She did have some memory of the three days and three nights she spent in the emergency room. It was as if she was trapped in a black hole, surrounded by machines and noisy sounds. She tried to get out, but she was trapped.
She wondered what would happen to her son and husband if she died.
Her son is still young. Will her husband remarry? Will he mistreat her son?
The mother-in-law has just lost her youngest son; if she loses her daughter-in-law now, she'll probably break down.
She cannot die, she cannot die for Lu Rong's sake.
She survived thanks to her extremely strong willpower.
Even the doctors said it was a miracle that she survived; in the past, women who suffered massive hemorrhages had a very high chance of dying, so she was a medical miracle.
In fact, she never told anyone that while they were being rescued, all she could see in her mind were the images of Xiaohui and Lu Rong collapsing. She couldn't let her mother-in-law suffer the loss of her son again, nor could she let her son lose his mother at such a young age.
Children without mothers are pitiful.
"Alright, how old is the child? Xiao Hui is going to laugh at you here." Lu Rong hugged his sister-in-law, who was crying uncontrollably.
Sister-in-law Lu cried bitterly, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.
The other people in the ward also had red eyes.
During this period, they experienced nothing but misery.
