Su Xiuju was sitting anxiously outside the door. When she saw Li Dashun return, she quickly helped him carry his things and said apologetically, "Brother Dashun, do you have enough money? I left my money at home. I'll give it to you when we get back."
Just then, the operating room door opened, and a nurse carrying a swaddled baby came out and called out, "Are Su Xiulan's family members here?"
Su Xiuju hurriedly stepped forward: "Yes, it's me."
She looked at the wrinkled, red baby in the nurse's arms. The nurse said, "Congratulations, it's twins."
Hearing the noise, Old Lady Zhao snorted disdainfully and asked, "Is it a man or a woman?"
The nurse assumed they were a family and replied, "They are two girls."
Grandma Zhao said, "Hehe, I knew it. A belly full of money-losing offspring, wasting food when they were born."
Su Xiuju glared back angrily: "Grandma, you say girls are a waste of money, then what are you?"
Is it a money-losing business?
“Your Zhao family doesn’t care, but our Meng family does.”
"What's so great about boys? They just gain a few more pounds, they're not much stronger than women."
"Pah! You old money-loser, you have no respect for your elders."
Old Mrs. Zhao pointed at Su Xiuju, trembling with anger. She thought Su Xiuju would be easy to control, but she never expected her to be so sharp-tongued.
Just as he was about to make a move, the tall Li Dashun appeared in front of him, looking at him with cold eyes.
Old Mrs. Zhao said, "Pah! A family of good-for-nothings, destined to die childless. What's so great about having a girl?"
As soon as she finished speaking, another nurse came out smiling, carrying a swaddled baby, and called out, "Are Li Xiulan's family members here?"
"Congratulations on the birth of twins, a boy and a girl!" Su Xiuju said with a beaming smile, looking up at Old Lady Zhao with a smug expression. "Did you hear that? Twins, a boy and a girl! Your Zhao family is doomed from having twins with my sister. You always called them a waste of money, now you should regret it!"
Grandma Zhao looked incredulous and pulled the nurse's arm to peer inside: "Are they really twin boys? Show me their little penises."
The nurse avoided pulling and carried the baby back to the delivery room: "Ma'am, the baby has just been born and can't stand the cold. Please wait a while before you see him."
Old Mrs. Zhao tried to squeeze in, but Su Xiuju pulled her back: "What are you looking at? Those are the descendants of our Meng family, they have nothing to do with your Zhao family."
Just then, the operating room doors opened again, and a nurse came out carrying a swaddled baby, calling out, "Are Liu Xiaomeng's family members here?"
Grandma Zhao stopped pressing the matter, smiled and stepped forward to say that she was the boy, and eagerly asked if it was a boy.
Hearing the nurse nod and say it was a boy, she immediately beamed with joy, handed over the red envelope in her hand, and turned to look at Su Xiuju triumphantly: "Hmph! Our Zhao family has also had a boy."
Su Xiuju didn't hold back: "Really? She's just a mistress's child. Who knows how promiscuous she is outside? Who knows whose child she might be!"
Seeing Old Lady Zhao's face turn red and her feet pounding, she looked on with schadenfreude.
Li Dashun nudged her arm, gesturing for her to look towards the operating room.
Su Xiulan and Meng Shuyun came out, with the twins in the car behind them.
Su Xiuju stepped forward, took Su Xiulan's hand, and asked, "Second sister, how are you?" Her eyes were full of concern and joy. "They're twins, a boy and a girl, and they're so beautiful!"
Meng Shuyun held Su Xiuju's hand and scolded her, "Your sister is still weak after giving birth, so stop chattering."
Old Mrs. Zhao blocked Meng Shuyun's way, pointed to the swaddled baby on the crib and said, "This is a child of our Zhao family. Give the child to me."
Meng Xiuyun impatiently shoved her: "What do you mean 'your family's children'? These are my Xiulan's children."
Ye Jianguo was wheeled out of another operating room, and a nurse called out, "Are Ye Jianguo's family members here?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhao glared fiercely at Meng Shuyun: "You wait, we Zhao family's grandson will not be given to you. I will settle accounts with you later."
She then asked the nurse, "I am Ye Jianguo's mother. How is my son? Can he still have children?"
Looking at Ye Jianguo, whose face was ashen on the bed, she had a bad feeling.
The nurse then confirmed her premonition: "Her function is fine, but it might be more difficult to have children in the future..."
In the ward, Su Xiuju vividly recounted what she had learned: "Pah, what a karmic retribution! I heard from the nurses that Ye Jianguo might not be able to continue, and it will be difficult for them to have children!"
As Su Xiulan, who had just recovered somewhat, ate her millet porridge, her gaze gently falling on the two babies in the crib.
Meng Shuyun patted Su Xiuju's bottom and said irritably, "Don't mention those unlucky things. I'm going home to get some necessities. You stay here and watch over your sister. I'll take over for you later."
Su Xiuju smiled and dodged, "I'll go back later. I'll get you whatever you need." She was being solicitous because she was thinking of giving Li Dashun money later. He bought everything today, and it wouldn't be right to keep spending his money. He's been busy and tired.
Meng Shuyun thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, Da Shun will go back with you. It's not safe for a girl like you to go back alone before dawn. Remember to buy a spare battery, it would be troublesome if you ran out of power halfway."
Su Xiuju waved to Li Dashun with a flashlight, urging him to hurry up, as a round trip would take an hour and a half if they walked quickly.
Su Xiulan was exhausted. She drank a bowl of millet porridge and then fell into a deep sleep.
Meng Shuyun took the opportunity to go to the hot water room to get some hot water, intending to come back and wipe her down.
Carrying two kettles of hot water, before even reaching the door, I saw someone sneaking in furtively.
Before they even got close, they heard Su Xiulan's heart-wrenching cries: "Give me back my child! That's my child! You can't take him away!"
"What do you mean 'your child'? This is my Zhao family's grandson! You little bitch, let go of him!"
Grandma Zhao glared at Su Xiulan on the ground, who was tightly gripping Grandma Zhao's trouser leg.
When Meng Shuyun opened the door and saw this scene, her eyes widened in fury. She pointed at Old Lady Zhao and asked, "Old Lady Zhao, what do you want to do?"
"Put the child down."
When Old Mrs. Zhao saw Meng Shuyun return so quickly, a hint of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly calmed down and raised her head, saying firmly, "I won't let her go. Our Zhao family has raised her for so many years, and the child in her belly is originally from our Zhao family."
Su Xiulan clung tightly to Old Lady Zhao's leg, her eyes red-rimmed, and looked up, saying, "Give me back my child. I've already divorced Ye Jianguo. The child is mine, not your Zhao family's."
Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and struggled to walk. She looked down at Su Xiulan, who wouldn't let go, and said with a burning hatred, "You haven't gone through the divorce procedures yet, so this child belongs to our Zhao family."
Meng Shuyun suppressed her temper, put down the thermos, and shouted, "Nurse! Security guard! Child traffickers are stealing children! Help! They're stealing children!"
The old woman in the next room heard this and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Child abduction! There are human traffickers! Help!"
They all felt sorry for their grandchildren and were afraid that human traffickers would succeed in taking advantage of them.
Soon, Meng Shuyun's ward was packed with people.
As the crowd grew larger, Old Lady Zhao's face turned extremely grim. She looked at the throng of people at the entrance and retorted:
"What do you mean, stealing a child? I'm holding my own grandson, I'm not a child trafficker!"
"Get lost! Is it illegal for me to hold my grandson?!"
Meng Shuyun pointed at Old Lady Zhao, tears streaming down her face, and cried, "She's a human trafficker! I don't know her! She's trying to steal my grandchildren!"
