Amidst the crowd's praises, Dong Chunmiao came out of the doctor's office. When she looked up, she saw Chen Xiangnan in the center of the crowd.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and the moment she saw him, the color drained from her face.
Did he know everything? All her dirty deeds? Would he still want her?
She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, but refused to take a step forward, standing still like a sculpture.
"Oh, your wife must be scared. She just had a miscarriage and now she's faced something like this. She must be scared."
Chen Xiangnan smiled, took the initiative to walk over and took her hand. He held it tightly, causing Dong Chunmiao a little pain, but she didn't dare to break free. He said, "Don't be afraid!"
Although the words were gentle and firm, Dong Chunmiao was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She felt more frightened than the interrogation she had just faced from the police.
"Doctor, can my wife be discharged from the hospital now?" Chen Xiangnan asked.
The doctor looked at the examination list and nodded, "It's nothing serious, but you need to take good care of yourself when you go home."
Chen Xiangnan: "Thank you, doctor. I'll go get her discharged."
Dong Chunmiao stood still, grabbed Chen Xiangnan's wrist, and whispered, "I...I won't leave. My family is still in the hospital. I...I have to take care of them."
"Oh, this girl is so good, so filial!"
"He's fair and clean, and he has a conscience. Why don't I have such a good child?"
"Her parents are so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter."
"My dear, you haven't recovered yet. Don't worry about your parents for now. Take good care of yourself. You are still young and you can have more children in the future."
"Yeah, see if you have any other relatives or friends in your family and pay them some money to take care of it."
"There are people like this in our hospital too. We spend some money to hire someone, but we can't ruin our own health."
"I just saw your mother. She's in the hospital, right? I think she only injured one hand. She can take care of herself, so it's not a problem. At most, you can bring her some food every day."
"You should have brothers, right? Let your brothers and your sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law come over. Just go home with your man and take care of yourself. Relax."
Chen Xiangnan hugged her and thanked everyone, "She is indeed filial. I am also worried about her health. She was frightened today. I will ask her sister-in-law to come to the hospital later."
"I don't know if my father-in-law's family is just unlucky, but they all suffered some injuries. They've been hospitalized for several days and haven't seen their two sisters-in-law. My wife is understandably worried about my parents, but she's a little neglectful of her own health. Her sister-in-law has to look after the children at home and work in the fields, so she might not have the time to take care of them..."
At this point, he smiled bitterly, "The pressure is all on my wife. She can't even take care of her own health and has to take care of my parents. And then she encounters something like this. Sigh..."
"Oh, that won't do. How can I let her take care of me when she's in poor health?"
Although Dong Chunmiao's mother is not good to her daughter, she is very good to her daughter-in-law. According to her, her son and daughter-in-law will take care of her in the future, and her daughter-in-law will carry on the Dong family's family line. If she is not good to them, the Dong family will not be prosperous in the future. When they are old, their daughter-in-law will not treat them well. Who will take responsibility for this?
Therefore, they don't feel bad about using their daughter, but they feel bad if their daughter-in-law is a little tired.
This time, she heard Chen Xiangnan's ambiguous words and found that the onlookers began to criticize her two daughters-in-law, and she felt unhappy.
"My daughter-in-law has to take care of my grandchildren. My grandchildren are precious, and I can't let them suffer. Besides, they have only given birth to two grandchildren for me so far, and there will be more in the future. If they are exhausted now, who will give birth to me?"
"My daughter just had a miscarriage, didn't she? What's so precious about a little girl? I went back to work in the fields the same day I gave birth to her. How come she can't do it now?"
Dong Chunmiao's mother felt that her reason was very sufficient, and she became more and more confident as she spoke.
Dong Chunmiao, the fool, nodded aside and said, "Yes, my sister-in-law has worked hard and shouldn't have come to the hospital. Besides, she brought my two nephews with her. Children are most afraid of coming to the hospital."
Chen Xiangnan: "Giving birth to a son is a top priority for your Dong family, but giving birth to a son for me by you, Dong Chunmiao, is no big deal? I, Chen Xiangnan, deserve to have no son."
Dong Chunmiao then remembered that she was Chen Xiangnan's wife. She also wanted to have a son. She also wanted to have a son of her own so that she could truly stand on her own.
She already knew that the baby she had miscarried was her son, because when she was pushed out of the operating room, the doctor's tone was full of regret and he told her to take care of herself.
If it was a girl, why would the doctor say that?
So, it must be her son. Because of her carelessness, her son was gone.
Dong Chunmiao wanted to cry again.
(Doctor: ...not really. I just saw she looked so sad and worried she might become depressed, so I tried to give her some advice.)
Her sisters-in-law were in good health, but they had all given birth to a son. On the contrary, she could have given birth to a son, but she had a miscarriage due to overwork.
She is the person who should be treated as the most precious.
She seemed to have lost her soul, and murmured, "Yes, I want to raise him too. I want to give birth to a son too."
"Your nephew came to the hospital, and you were afraid that the child would be shy. Your daughter came to the hospital, and you asked her to serve your parents? How old is she? She is younger than your nephews, right?" Chen Xiangnan no longer concealed it. She could establish herself as a filial person or a good person, and he didn't want to tell her anyway.
But every time she mentioned her parents' home, he got angry. This was not something a normal person would do. He didn't want her to sever ties with her family, but she would do anything for them, ignoring him and the children, devoting herself wholeheartedly to them. He really couldn't accept this.
Dong Chunmiao heard that Chen Lingling had no reaction and could even retort, "She's just a little girl. What's there to be taboo about? When I was a kid, some people in the village were drowned if they were born a girl. She should be grateful that I was able to raise her until now. Let her do some work. Why are you so excited? After this girl gets married, she will have nothing to do with me anymore."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sympathy that the onlookers had for her suddenly decreased by more than half.
She said this in front of the police. Being her daughter is so hard. No wonder her husband is angry. He is just confused.
Dong Chunmiao really didn't understand. She was taught since childhood that her daughter belonged to someone else's family and she didn't need to be too nice to her. A daughter who was married off was like spilled water.
But why did she still dedicate herself to her natal family? It was because she had been brainwashed since childhood that her natal family was her only support, and her brother and nephew were her support in her husband's family. If she was bullied in her husband's family, they were the only ones who would help her.
