Chen Xiangnan was awakened by the quarrel in the living room. It was already dark when he woke up.
He breathed heavily, his temples ached, and he came out dizzy.
As soon as he came out, he saw his mother slapping his brother in the face.
They kept scolding and beating him, and only stopped when they saw him come out.
Chen Xiangnan touched his face and felt the same pain.
Brother, why do this?
He had sharp eyes and saw his old father standing and hesitating at the door, probably because he was afraid that his mother's anger would affect him.
He was not to be trifled with by his father's cleverness, for when his mother saw him, she began to scold him again. He was a diligent son who had been carrying luggage, and he had done nothing but sleep and was scolded, let alone his father.
"Look at you, do you look like a man? You're tired, but aren't your sister and I tired? You, on the other hand, took a shower and slept until now. We've been working so hard for so many days, and you still throw your dirty clothes to your sister to wash. Do you have no hands or feet or no wife?"
Chen Xiangnan immediately admitted his mistake and said that he would take Chen Xianghong out for a walk and buy some things to compensate her tomorrow. Only then did Mrs. Xia nod in satisfaction.
Chen Xianghong: "Second brother, I don't need it. I have everything."
Zhu Wenying is a person who doesn't know how to read people's expressions. Even though her husband had just been beaten, she still said, "You have everything, but Mom thinks you have nothing; your eldest brother and I have nothing, but Mom thinks we have everything."
Chen Xiangdong pulled her back and signaled her with his eyes to stop talking.
Zhu Wenying was really stupid. She thought Chen Xiangdong had been beaten into submission by his mother, so she rushed towards Chen Xiangdong with a belly full of anger. "You are afraid of your mother, but I am not. Why should I not say anything when I suffered a loss? You really are a good son. You only know how to help your mother?"
Chen Xiangdong felt a pain in his head and face. He turned around and pointed at his own face, gritting his teeth and saying, "Do you want to be slapped like me too?"
Zhu Wenying regained her senses, immediately shook her head, hid behind him and stopped talking.
After the couple was subdued, Chen Xiangnan smiled. What his mother said on the train before was indeed true. Some people being too nice to them would make them become more and more demanding. Only a slap in the face could ensure a harmonious family.
"Hey? Mom, has my wife come back this afternoon?" Chen Xiangnan then realized that he hadn't seen his wife or his daughter for a whole day. No wonder he always felt something was wrong.
Chen Xiangdong spoke up, "My sister-in-law hasn't been home for several days. After you left, she took Lingling to her parents' home."
Chen Xiangnan's face darkened instantly. "You went to your mother's house again?"
Chen Xiangdong nodded. "That's what she said. Dad tried to stop her, but when we got home from get off work, she was gone."
"Mom, I won't eat for now. I'll go get her back." Chen Xiangnan got furious. This damn woman, Lingling's head was broken just before his eyes last time, and she went back again?
It seems that he turned a deaf ear to her words.
He had asked her to swear last time that if Dong Chunmiao returned to her parents' home again, he would make the Dong family extinct.
However, he didn't dare to take direct action to cut off his family line, but he couldn't swallow this humiliation. It would be fine if she worked for her parents, but she shouldn't bring her child to be bullied.
"Old Chen, something happened to your second daughter-in-law. What are you doing at the door?" said the person outside while knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" Old Mrs. Xia was puzzled. The voice sounded so urgent. What happened?
I just heard the second brother talking, but I couldn't hear the voice outside clearly. Chen Xiangnan immediately opened the door and asked, "Did you say something happened to my wife?"
"You're back? That's great. Your wife is in trouble and is in the hospital. Go there quickly." She pulled the man and ran away, and Old Mrs. Xia followed behind.
Old Chen looked at the two of them and said, "Yue'e, should I go or not?"
Old Chen sighed, went back to his room, got some money, and locked the drawer. "I'll go check it out. I hope nothing serious has happened. You guys can eat. Just leave some for us."
"I'll go too, Dad." Chen Xiangdong was also about to go, but Zhu Wenying pulled the corner of his clothes.
"The hospital is probably going to be in chaos. You can go there later and bring them some food."
Old Chen nodded in agreement.
In the hospital, Dong Chunmiao's face was pale and she was touching her belly. She had a miscarriage.
Maybe it was the son she had been thinking about all the time.
Dong Chunmiao felt both regretful and afraid. The doctor said that her miscarriage was caused by malnutrition and overwork, and that she would be able to have children if she took good care of herself.
However, the son she had been waiting for for so long was gone and was sent to the hospital. People in the neighboring compound saw him and called for help.
When her man comes back, he will never let her go.
The last incident made them unhappy, and this time she had to have an abortion with the help of her parents' family. What should she do?
"Chun Miao, I've asked your brother and sister-in-law and your father to go back first. I'm waiting here for your in-laws to come. We came in a hurry and didn't bring any money. We still owe the hospital bill." She sat down and touched Dong Chun Miao's sweaty hair. "Let them give you some good nourishment."
When Chen Xiangnan arrived, he was pulled by the nurses' station to pay the bill. He and Old Lady Xia searched all their pockets, but still lacked enough money. Fortunately, Old Chen arrived in time and paid the money.
When the three of them arrived at the ward, Chen Xiangnan exploded, "Dong Chunmiao, what did you promise me before? What are you doing now?"
Dong Chunmiao's eyes wandered, "I promised you, I didn't go to help, I just went to see my parents, and I accidentally fell, I didn't help."
"Didn't help? You're a mute doctor, you won't tell me, right? Did you have a miscarriage from a fall?"
Dong Chunmiao: "I...I really didn't help..."
Dong Chunmiao's mother stood aside, feeling embarrassed. "Son-in-law, this... I just missed her and asked her to go back and stay for a few days. I really didn't help. I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."
She turned and ran away, fearing that she would be beaten.
No matter how angry Chen Xiangnan was, he would never hit his mother-in-law.
"You didn't work? How did you get that big cut on your hand?"
Dong Chunmiao: "It was an accident. I... I swore I would never help them again. You know I'm most afraid of having no descendants."
"You knew you had a miscarriage? You're only worried about your Dong family's extinction, not mine, right?"
Dong Chunmiao: "No, you know I dream of having a son."
Chen Xiangnan: "What about your son?"
Dong Chunmiao lowered her head:...How did she know she would have a miscarriage?
Chen Xiangnan felt annoyed when he thought of his father-in-law's family. Whenever they took people in, something would happen. They didn't pay a penny, but they ran away very quickly.
On the way here, his mother was afraid he would act impulsively, so she told him not to cause trouble in front of so many people watching in the hospital. He agreed and kept reminding himself of this. If he really did cause trouble, he wouldn't stand a chance, but he really couldn't let it go.
He had just decided that Dong Chunmiao would need to be hospitalized for the confinement period, and the Dong family would have to come to accompany her. If they didn't want to come on their own initiative, he would force them to come.
