The calendar turns to September and the National Day holiday arrives.
Xia Xi also gave Aunt Zhang a vacation, planning to support herself during the vacation.
She brought in the dried clothes, folded those that needed to be folded, and instructed Xu Yanfeng to hang those that needed to be hung in the closet.
Suddenly remembering that she hadn't contacted Xia Xuan for two days, she unplugged her phone that was charging and called Xia Xuan.
It was very quiet over there, probably in the hospital ward. Xia Xi asked, "How is Chen Songbai?"
"Much better," Xia Xuan said. "The doctor came to see me this afternoon. I'll be able to go home and recuperate soon."
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"I'll go home and eat later."
Xia Xi was worried that she couldn't handle it, so she reminded her, "There are nurses in the hospital to take care of her. You should also take care of yourself. Go back early, eat something, and get a good rest. Don't let him recover by the time you're exhausted."
"Yeah." Xia Xuan responded obediently, "I know."
"I'll go to the hospital tomorrow." Xia Xi said.
"Won't it delay your work?"
"Tomorrow is October 1st, a statutory holiday."
Xia Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've been so confused lately that I even forgot to check the date."
The two sisters chatted for a while, Xia Xi urged her to go back and eat, and then hung up the phone.
Xu Yanfeng came over after hanging up the clothes and saw her lying on the bed, holding her phone high in her hands, not knowing what she was looking at. He lay down beside her, propped up his head with his hands and looked at her.
Xia Xi turned her head and looked back at him: "I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to visit Chen Songbai."
The main thing was to check on Xia Xuan. Chen Songbai was fine, having survived thanks to timely medical treatment, but his leg fracture was quite serious. Xia Xuan had been spending most of her time in the hospital caring for him recently. While Su Jinru and Xia Yue had also been helping out, Xia Xuan had been doing a lot of things herself.
As for Chen Songbai's awful parents, he refused to see them after waking up. Although they still visited the hospital frequently, Chen Songbai was resistant. After this incident, they dared not provoke him again, fearing another tragedy would happen. They only watched him from afar at the ward door every day.
On the day of the accident, the police came to the hospital to investigate. Miao Yijia learned that Chen Songbai would rather die than marry her. She was heartbroken and confessed everything with empty eyes.
That night, nothing happened between her and Chen Songbai, and he wasn't drunk. She had slipped a trace of sleeping pills into a dish Chen Songbai liked, and after taking it, Chen Songbai fell into a deep sleep, unconscious. She stripped him, lay with him, and even cut her finger, smearing the blood on the sheets to make it look like they had sex.
She was pregnant from a night of wild sex at the bar, and she didn't want to give birth to the child. After deceiving Miao Cuixia, she wanted to go to the hospital to have an abortion. Since she had no money, she went to Chen Songbai to borrow money, but before she could even ask, he humiliated her. She held a grudge and wanted to make life difficult for everyone. Thinking of a scene she had seen before, she decided to imitate it.
She tricked Xia Xuan out and pretended to argue and push her, creating the illusion that she pushed her down and caused her to have a miscarriage.
She planned every step carefully and schemed until she finally forced Chen Songbai to end it all with his death.
When Miao Yijiajia was talking to the police, her parents were standing next to them. After hearing everything, they looked at their daughter with strange eyes. They felt a chill rising from their backs and spreading throughout their bodies.
If she hadn't admitted it herself, how could they believe that she had such intentions?
After Chen Songbai's parents learned the truth, in order to alleviate their guilt, they pushed all the faults onto Miao Yijiajia, and the two families quarreled fiercely in the hospital.
Miao Cuixia was so sad and angry that she was like a lioness. Cursing was no longer enough to satisfy her. She tore Miao Yijiajia's hair and clothes, and threatened that if Chen Songbai did not survive, she would take Miao Yijiajia's life.
It seemed that only in this way could it seem that she was not at fault.
During the tug and pull, Miao Yijia's stomach was hit hard, causing her to scream in pain. She had just come out of surgery, and her body couldn't withstand the ordeal. She bled immediately and was rushed to the operating room for treatment.
The two families broke up.
To ensure Miao Yijia could recuperate in a quiet environment, her parents transferred her to another hospital after the surgery. Feeling guilty, Miao's father left a sum of money as compensation to Chen Songbai before leaving. He also exerted pressure on Chen Songbai. Had he listened to his wife's advice, perhaps this situation wouldn't have come to this.
Xu Yanfeng only learned about these things from Xia Xi's narration.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow." Xu Yanfeng hooked her hair and played with it around his fingertips.
Xia Xi threw down her phone, pulled out a strand of hair he had been playing with, turned over and lay on the bed, looking at him seriously: "You have a vacation too?"
Xu Yanfeng smiled: "I'm not a work machine."
Xia Xi: "Do you have any other plans for the holidays? I should be free."
Xu Yanfeng thought for a moment, and a deeper smile spread across his face: "There really is one."
"What is it?"
"Keep it a secret for now." Xu Yanfeng scratched her nose.
Xia Xi narrowed his eyes and muttered, "What? So mysterious."

The next day, Xu Yanfeng made breakfast for the family of three: ham, scallion, and omelet, served with sticky preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Ziheng praised him, "My dad's cooking skills are really good now."
Xu Yanfeng was slightly dissatisfied and asked, "Wasn't my previous craftsmanship good enough?"
Ziheng took a bite of the fragrant and soft egg pancake and said vaguely, "Compared to my mom, she's only ten times as good as Aunt Zhang."
Xu Yanfeng: “…”
Xia Xi was drinking porridge and choked when she burst out laughing.
