Old Mrs. Xia didn't come back with her people until late at night. Dong Chunmiao was in poor health and needed to be hospitalized for another day. She was worried about Chen Lingling. Although the second child asked the neighbor boy to come and tell her the news, she still wanted to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.
She opened the door, took a look, and then went into Chen Xianghong's storage room.
"Your sister-in-law didn't say anything to you later, did she?"
Chen Xianghong hadn't slept yet either. She'd just returned today and a lot had happened, and she was feeling a bit upset. She didn't want her arrival to disturb the family, nor did she want to embarrass her mother.
"No, my sister-in-law is fine."
Old Lady Xia: "Don't worry too much. I have the final say in this family. Your sister-in-law just can't get enough of taking advantage of you. She'll argue when you're around, and she'll also argue when you're not at home."
"Mom is tired, you are here just to help her. They are all unfilial and want to treat me like a donkey."
Chen Xianghong also felt that her mother was tired, having to take care of the affairs of such a large family, and everyone was not easy to deal with. However, she also knew that this was what Old Lady Xia said so that she could feel at ease and stay. She understood it in her heart.
Old Mrs. Xia also took a bath happily. Her obedient daughter found that the hot water was used up, so she boiled some more to prepare for them who were still in the hospital.
The mother and daughter slept together. Chen Xianghong hugged her mother and felt warm in her heart.
The next morning, Mrs. Xia got up early and started cooking while taking out lunch boxes. Chen Xianghong helped her. Both of them worked quickly and finished the meal quickly.
"You go call your dad, and I'll call your brother and sister-in-law." Old Mrs. Xia slammed the door.
"I'm dying. I'm going to call you guys for dinner, right? Hurry up and get up and eat."
After calling the eldest child's family, she went to the second child's room and heard Xiang Hong say that the child was scared yesterday. "Lingling, get up. Grandma made you a delicious egg custard. It smells delicious. Get up quickly."
Chen Lingling rubbed her eyes and asked Old Lady Xia to braid her hair while she dressed herself. "Is there really egg custard, Grandma?"
Old Lady Xia said gently, "Of course, when has grandma ever lied to you?"
Chen Lingling cheered, "That's great."
At the table, several people were eating.
"Xiang Hong, your dad, your eldest brother and his wife and I have to go to work soon. You can take the two children to your second sister-in-law to take some food. I've already packed it. At noon, you can go out and buy something to eat, buy some for the two children and your second sister-in-law as well. I'll give you the money later."
Chen Xianghong nodded, "Mom, I have money."
"Your elder and second brothers are married, so how can they take advantage of you, an unmarried daughter? When you start working, you should contribute to my household expenses like them."
Only then did Chen Xianghong agree.
After finishing her meal, Old Lady Xia wiped her mouth with satisfaction and said, "Boss, you were supposed to do the housework this week, but Xiang Hong and I finished it yesterday, and this is the last day of the week. So we'll do it today, and it will be your turn starting next week. Don't forget."
"Mom, we've paid the money." Zhu Wenying really couldn't stand it anymore. She had never done any work since she got married, and now she had to pay and work. Why?
"Do you think the money you paid is enough to hire a nanny?"
Zhu Wenying stopped talking, which of course was not enough, but aren’t we all a family?
"Let me put it this way. You two families will take turns doing the work. I'll just take care of your meals, and Xiang Hong will take care of your children. Let's have a clear division of labor so we don't have to argue later."
Zhu Wenying angrily pulled her husband away. She felt that her life was really miserable.
As soon as she went out, she found that the son of Uncle Ma next door was beating her wife. Zhu Wenying was shocked. In fact, her life was not that miserable.
Chen Xiangnan came home drunk and fell asleep as soon as he got home. Chen Lingling called him, but he didn't respond.
Chen Xianghong didn't know what he was doing, but she covered him with a blanket, fed the two children some water, and went out to bring food to her second sister-in-law.
Second sister-in-law, you are so pitiful and hateful.
She just entered the hospital ward and found that there was no one inside.
"Nurse, where is the patient in this bed?"
Nurse: "Her family is in trouble. She is in that ward."
Chen Xianghong held the two children tightly and ran to the ward the nurse pointed to.
In the ward, Dong Chunmiao dragged her body, which had just suffered a miscarriage, with a pale face, and asked her brother to get water to wash his face.
Chen Xianghong vaguely remembered that when she saw her second sister-in-law last night, she couldn't even get out of bed, her legs were weak, and her stomach hurt.
But now, she was able to lift the hot water bottle. Although she had to stop after every few steps, and although the nurse next to her advised her to go back and rest, she was determined to serve her two brothers and would not listen to anyone.
A medical miracle, this is simply a medical miracle.
"Mom~" Chen Lingling shouted, Dong Chunmiao turned around and immediately became vicious.
"You unlucky star, you killed your brother and caused your uncles to be beaten like this, and you still have the nerve to come here? You might as well die." Dong Chunmiao put down the washbasin, pointed at the child and cursed. They didn't look like mother and daughter, but more like enemies.
Chen Lingling's eyes immediately turned red and she hid behind her aunt.
Mom, you’re so fierce. Are you going to hit her?
"Second sister-in-law, I'll bring you food." Chen Xianghong also pushed the two children behind her, fearing that Dong Chunmiao would go crazy and hit her. She was not afraid of fighting, but she was afraid that the children would get hurt.
Dong Chunmiao walked over slowly and took the lunch box. "Just one?"
Chen Xianghong: "Just one, mom installed it for you."
Dong Chunmiao: "My brother needs to eat too. Please buy two more for us. Let Lingling stay and help me. I can't handle it alone."
Chen Xianghong refused, "Lingling is still a child. She almost had a fever yesterday. I'm afraid she can't help you. Where are your parents? Why don't they come over?"
Dong Chunmiao said impatiently, "There's still work to do in the fields. Chen Lingling, that lazy bitch, ran home yesterday. There's no one to work today, so of course they have no choice but to go home. Otherwise, the whole family will starve."
"Do you have money? Lend me some."
Chen Xianghong: "I don't have any money. But don't you still have your sisters-in-law?"
Dong Chunmiao: "They have to work too. Who is like your family, where all the people are workers and they can take leave whenever they want?"
Chen Xianghong: ...This person is really interesting. She came to take care of her family despite having a miscarriage, and even dragged her own daughter to take care of them. When her family saw that her son was in the hospital, no one came.
Dong Chunmiao: "Why don't you have anything? Okay, okay, hurry up and buy me some food. Lingling, come here quickly. What are you standing there for? Do you want to see me die of exhaustion?"
Chen Lingling looked up at Chen Xianghong, her eyes full of fear.
