The old woman's face changed: "Mind your own business. Who doesn't go through postpartum confinement like this? In our time, the day I gave birth to my baby was also freezing cold, and I could wash clothes in the snow and ice, so why can't she? She's just being pretentious! If she thinks she can't do it, then she should divorce my baby! Don't act like my baby will be unwanted if she leaves her."
The moment the old woman said that, the tone of the conversation in the live stream changed instantly.
The viewers in the live stream were somewhat surprised by what the old woman said.
[Is this something a human would say? This person is so ruthless, they'd tear someone else's umbrella after getting soaked themselves!]
[I was just feeling sorry for her, and this is what happened. Thank goodness, I almost accidentally hurt an innocent person!]
[Seeing this old woman makes me angry! What the hell is this era? They're still pulling this stunt on me.]
The viewers in the live stream were furious at the old woman's shamelessness and were cursing her in the chat.
The old woman ignored the public chat and continued her incessant, arguing with Zhang Tianle: "What do you know, you little kid? I'm doing this for her own good. She suffers at home, but once she's out in the world, no one will let her suffer. I just didn't expect her to be so heartless. I was in the hospital, and she fed me instant noodles! Is that something a human being could do? So, Master, do you have any way to make her leave my son? I absolutely cannot have such an unfilial daughter-in-law."
Don't worry, just name your price. I'm willing to give you whatever it takes. As long as she leaves my son.
Seeing Zhang Tianle remain silent, the old woman frowned: "Master, please don't stay silent. I came here to have my fortune told, not to listen to your silence. Tell me quickly, what method do you have to make her leave my son?"
The viewers in the live stream were almost driven crazy by this old woman.
[Ugh! I really want to blast this old woman right now! Is she even a person? Or a demon in human skin?]
Now I understand why her daughter-in-law treated her like that. If it were me, I wouldn't even glance at her; I'd just let her die in the hospital. People like that are nothing but a menace.
This kind of person deserves it!
【Master Zhang, just give in to this idiot! I think her daughter-in-law is incredibly filial. If it were me, I reckon I probably wouldn't even have called an ambulance the day she had the accident; I'd just let her stay at home. Let alone come over to take care of her.】
I agree with the comment above! His daughter-in-law should leave this horrible family as soon as possible. Don't let her be harmed.
"Mom, dinner's ready."
Just as the viewers were getting excited, a gentle voice came from the side, and then a woman in her early thirties appeared on the screen.
She was carrying a thermal container.
The box contained noodles, some vegetables, and meat.
"I made some bone broth for you. Drink it slowly."
The old woman saw the noodles handed to her by the other person, took them, and then threw them towards the door.
"Noodles, noodles, noodles again! What kind of daughter-in-law are you? You make me eat instant noodles every day, I want to drink porridge!"
The old woman's voice was like thunder, extremely penetrating, and could even be heard in the next ward.
Some curious patients or their families couldn't help but come out of the ward and peek inside from the doorway.
Hearing the commotion, the nurses and doctors on duty also came over.
They all thought something had happened to a patient in the ward.
But when they arrived, they saw the old woman named Shan Xianglian pointing at her daughter-in-law and cursing her with foul language, as well as noodles scattered on the ground, some peeled shrimp, vegetables, a braised egg, and some skinless salt-baked chicken. Their lips twitched.
Such a lavish breakfast is being wasted.
"I think you're just hoping I die. You feed me instant noodles every day. Have you ever thought about how I feel? You deserve to be struck by lightning! If God has eyes, why doesn't He send down lightning to punish you, you heartless bastard!"
Is this instant noodle even fit for human consumption?
Moreover, I am a patient.
The doctors and nurses all say I need to have a balanced diet, but what nutrition does instant noodles have?
"Get back here right now and cook me some mushroom and chicken congee. Otherwise, I won't eat it."
Shan Xianglian's arrogant and domineering voice made the crowd watching the commotion outside frown.
They also saw the things that Shan Xianglian's daughter-in-law had brought.
To be honest, the food her daughter-in-law brought was already very good.
Even their usual meals aren't that good.
Moreover, her daughter-in-law was carrying a thermos, which must have contained soup.
At this moment, her daughter-in-law's face was somewhat pale: "Mom, what do you want me to do to satisfy you? Don't you usually like to eat noodles? Why don't you eat them now that we're in the hospital? Last night I asked you what you wanted to eat, and you said anything was fine, so I made everything according to your taste, but you..."
"I don't care, all I want right now is mushroom and chicken congee. I won't eat without it. I'm going to tell my son to divorce you later. All you do all day is housework. You're such a lazy bum. Don't you know how hard it is for my son to support the whole family?" Shan Xianglian continued to rant and rave about her daughter-in-law's crimes.
Her daughter-in-law clenched and unclenched her fists repeatedly until she finally lowered her eyes and didn't argue with her mother-in-law. Instead, she quietly placed the thermos on the table and poured out a bowl of chicken soup.
"Mom, come on, have some chicken soup first. It's a bit hot, so be careful. If you want mushroom and chicken congee, I'll go back and make it for you now, but it'll take some time. At least have some soup to tide you over, so you don't get too hungry."
Shan Xianglian glanced at the chicken soup, took it, and reluctantly took a sip.
But the moment her lips touched the soup, her expression changed, and she threw the soup at her daughter-in-law: "Are you trying to scald me to death? Huh? How can I drink soup this hot?"
The scene performed by Shan Xianglian was clearly seen by viewers in front of the camera and by people in real life.
The patient in the next bed, about the same age as Shan Xianglian, couldn't stand it. After a dry cough, she said, "Young lady, listen to my advice. You're doing a great job as a daughter-in-law. Don't be too harsh on her. If I had a daughter-in-law like that, I'd be laughing in my sleep. Don't take your blessings for granted!"
"You old hag, what's it to you? What are you babbling about? My family's affairs are bothering you. If you say another word, I'll pull the needle out of your IV drip!"
