"Mom, so it seems possible that Aunt Qiuyu was hit on the head by Mother Ren?" Zhou Yuanyuan analyzed what Zhao Yunxiang said.
"I don't know who hit me. I was really scared by the blood on your Aunt Qiuyu's head." Zhao Yunxiang was a little confused. She had always been afraid of blood, otherwise she wouldn't have refused to study medicine with Zhao Qingshan.
The scene at Chen Qiuyu's house was so chaotic that Zhao Yunxiang only had Chen Qiuyu lying motionless on the ground in her eyes. She really didn't have time to ask Chen Qiuyu why this happened.
"Mom, let's go to the hospital!" Zhou Yuanyuan suggested. Regardless of others, considering that Ren Zhongyuan had defended her in school, Zhou Yuanyuan felt that she couldn't just stand by and watch Chen Qiuyu get hurt.
Chen Qiuyu had a head bleed, a matter that could be serious or minor. On the smaller end, it might just be a scrape, easily healed with a little disinfectant and red medicine. On the larger end, what if it was a concussion? Zhou Yuanyuan could tell from Zhao Yunxiang's account that Ren Lao Niang was a ruthless woman, willing to abandon even her own grandson, let alone Chen Qiuyu, a daughter-in-law from another family.
Zhou Yuanyuan mentally counted the elixirs she had that could help and decided to go to the hospital. If Chen Qiuyu really was in trouble, like a disfigured face or bleeding profusely, she would be able to help immediately, right?
Zhao Yunxiang thought it made perfect sense. Chen Qiuyu was injured, Ren Dahai was busy with work, Ren Zhongyuan had to go to school, and Ren Lao Niang and Ren Xiao Hua were such bad people, so there was definitely no one to take care of her in the hospital. Chen Qiuyu must be lying alone in the hospital, feeling incredibly anxious!
As Chen Qiuyu's friend, Zhao Yunxiang had no choice but to wait until when to help? Even if she stayed by Chen Qiuyu's side and offered a few words of comfort, it would be better than her staying alone in the hospital with her thoughts running wild, right?
So, Zhao Yunxiang and her daughter did not wait for Xiaoqiu to come back. After dinner, they took a pot of chicken soup prepared by the nanny and ran to the hospital to visit Chen Qiuyu.
When Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Yuanyuan were looking for a ward, Xiaoqiu just walked out of the ward.
Seeing Zhao Yunxiang and her daughter, Xiaoqiu made a gesture and pointed to the corridor, indicating that Zhao Yunxiang should go further away to talk.
Zhao Yunxiang handed the thermos in her hand to Zhou Yuanyuan and went to talk to Xiaoqiu at the other end of the corridor.
"Sister Yunxiang, I think Chen Qiuyu is in deep distress. She's been awake for almost ten minutes, and I haven't heard her say a word." Xiaoqiu's face was grim. Xiaoqiu was a former female soldier in the military. Ren Dahai was once the "King of Soldiers" admired by many female soldiers. Unexpectedly, the real-life Ren Dahai turned out to be a "mama's boy." Since Chen Qiuyu woke up, Xiaoqiu had heard Ren Dahai tell her to be patient with his mother several times.
If it were her own man who made her endure her mother-in-law's unreasonable behavior, Xiaoqiu would have asked him to get out long ago.
"Huh? Could Qiuyu have a concussion?" Zhao Yunxiang was a little worried.
"It shouldn't be. The doctor said that the wound on Chen Qiuyu's forehead, which looks bloody, was actually caused by a sharp object. The possibility of a concussion is not high, but it's a pity that it might leave a scar." Xiao Qiu learned from Zhao Yunxiang the diagnosis made by the emergency doctor when Chen Qiuyu was first sent here.
"Hiss!" Zhao Yunxiang gasped. Chen Qiuyu was a good-looking woman, with an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, watery eyes, and delicate skin. She was in her early forties, but there wasn't a single wrinkle on her face. She looked like a young woman in her thirties. A scar on her forehead would disfigure her, which would be a shame.
"Xiaoqiu, you go back first! Drive away, I'll take care of this," Zhao Yunxiang ordered. Chen Qiuyu had woken up, so there was no need for Xiaoqiu to stay. It was getting late, well past Xiaoqiu's usual off-duty time. Zhao Yunxiang had Zhou Yuanyuan to keep her company, and the family car was parked in the hospital parking lot, so she didn't need Xiaoqiu to pick her up when she got home.
Xiaoqiu didn't refuse, just nodded and left. Her child had just started kindergarten and was waiting for her to pick him up!
When Zhao Yunxiang walked back to the ward door, she saw Zhou Yuanyuan sitting on a bench outside the ward door, her face as gloomy as water and her eyes a little cold.
Although Zhao Yunxiang and Xiaoqiu walked a little far away, as long as Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to know, how could Zhao Yunxiang and the others' conversation be hidden from Zhou Yuanyuan's ears?
Let her mother hit Chen Qiuyu in the face with something sharp? How much does she want Chen Qiuyu to die? She feels that she can abuse her daughter-in-law to death just because she is not her own daughter? This damn old woman will make her taste the pain of being hurt sooner or later. Zhou Yuanyuan was furious.
"Yuanyuan?" Zhao Yunxiang called softly. Perhaps she was a little sensitive, but at that moment, she felt as if the temperature around her had dropped several degrees.
Zhao Yunxiang didn't know that it was Zhou Yuanyuan's murderous aura. Although Zhou Yuanyuan's murderous aura was not directed at Zhao Yunxiang, and as soon as she saw Zhao Yunxiang, Zhou Yuanyuan immediately put away the murderous aura and showed a warm smile on her face.
"Mom, let's sit for a while before going in." Zhou Yuanyuan pointed to the empty bench next to her, signaling Zhao Yunxiang to sit down and wait. Ren Dahai and his wife were the only ones in the ward at the moment, and Zhou Yuanyuan felt that they should give them time to communicate.
In the ward, Chen Qiuyu had already woken up, but she was very listless. A white gauze bandage wrapped around her head made her already small face look even smaller. A needle was stuck in the back of her hand, and she was receiving an IV drip.
Chen Qiuyu hadn't spoken a word since she woke up. Her eyes were fixed on the snow-white wall, as if she were lost in thought, or perhaps pondering the biggest problem in her life.
Ren Dahai felt a little irritated. He didn't understand why Chen Qiuyu, who had always been tolerant and courteous, was acting so strangely today? She was awake, yet she still wouldn't speak to him?
Ren Dahai liked Chen Qiuyu, not just because she was good-looking, but also because she was easy to take care of, strong, independent, and most importantly, sensible. Over the years of their marriage, she cared deeply about Ren Dahai's well-being and kept the household affairs in perfect order, never requiring him to worry about anything. She was also kind to others outside of the family, rarely arguing with them, and rarely getting into arguments.
Chen Qiuyu's family wasn't large, and over the years, she had devoted herself entirely to her small family: working, earning money, and raising her children. It was precisely because of Chen Qiuyu's kindness that Ren Dahai had the time and energy to dedicate himself to his military service. Ren Dahai always believed that Chen Qiuyu was half responsible for his military achievements.
If there was one regret for Ren Dahai during this marriage, it was that his mother was never satisfied with Chen Qiuyu. Because of Chen Qiuyu, Ren Dahai became much more distant from his family, and became known as the unfilial son who "forgot his mother after getting a wife" in the eyes of his mother and father.
