More than a week later, in early June, Xu Hengze was discharged from the hospital and had recovered well. The doctor said that in order to protect the new fascia, he could not walk hard for the time being and would have to use a wheelchair for a period of time.
The most fortunate thing is that his brain was not affected. Xu Hengze was a workaholic and was always thinking about his suspended research work. He wanted to go back to the unit immediately, but Grandma Xu and Aunt Xu disagreed and asked him to go back to the Xu Mansion first and rest for another half a month.
Meng Tao did not visit Xu Hengze during his hospitalization, so naturally she had to come to his house to see him after returning home. Holding little Yunhai in her arms, the whole family, including Liu Jianli and Xu Yuting, went to Xu's house to gather and celebrate the recovery of her second cousin Xu.
Xu Hengze was in good overall condition, with a calm and natural expression and rosy complexion. He did not look like someone who had just been divorced and nearly died in a car accident.
He liked Xiao Yunhai very much. When he greeted Meng Tao, he stretched out his hand and made a hugging gesture towards Xiao Yunhai. Xiao Yunhai stared at Xu Hengze's face, then quickly turned to look at the faces of Xu Hengkai and Xu Dajiu next to him, as if he got confirmation, and then leaned towards Xu Hengze and really let Xu Hengze hug him.
Xu Hengze was stunned for a moment, his expression was flattered. He actually didn't know how to get along with children, especially such a young baby.
Aunt Xu was at the side teaching how to hold the baby and how to talk to him, and Xu Hengze soon discovered that it was not difficult and he could do it. After spending less than a few minutes with Xiao Yunhai, the two of them were able to communicate with each other without any obstacles. The little baby was innocent and funny, and Xu Hengze laughed out loud, as if he had never laughed so happily before.
If Aunt Xu hadn't thought that little Yunhai needed to pee and forcibly took him away, Xu Hengze would not have wanted to let go of the little darling.
Little Yunhai, who is about to turn a hundred days old, is white, tender and as white as jade. He is becoming more and more lively and cute. It may be that he has come into contact with too many people since he was a child, and he doesn't know who has influenced him, but his quiet and gentle image as a child has disappeared, and instead he has become a chatterbox, a complete social expert. He can say "oh, wow" to anyone he meets, and his expressions are vivid and expressive, which often make the adults laugh.
Shen Yu was troubled by this: having a son who looked less and less like him, and whose personality was not like his, who could he go to for justice? [Meng Tao said: Don’t go to me, I don’t know anyway, I’m just a deliveryman] Xu Hengze recovered and was not depressed, the elders of the Xu family were relieved, and the grandmother and the aunt started to think again: Xu Hengkai and Gu Yingying had registered their marriage, but they were short of a wedding. The wedding banquet originally scheduled for May Day had to be cancelled because Gu Panpan, that black-hearted woman, stabbed Gu Yingying with a knife, and the wedding was postponed to National Day or Spring Festival. But after all, there was no excitement, and seeing that Xiao Yunhai was about to turn 100 days old, they wanted to hold a wedding banquet and have fun.
Shen Heping and Xu Zhen had no objection, but Shen Yu and Meng Tao objected: holding wedding banquets too frequently is actually not good, as it will make the adults and the babies tired.
After listening to this, Grandpa Xu nodded in agreement. He thought that holding large wedding banquets every now and then would be too complicated and would have a bad impact, so he decided to just set up three or five tables on the day of the wedding and have the family gather together.
Plans cannot keep up with changes. A few days later, Su Xiangyang called back from Province Y: Xu Aoxue led the team in high-intensity training. While trying to save a subordinate who fell off a cliff, she fell down herself. Fortunately, a long branch halfway up the mountain caught her. With everyone’s help, she climbed up. She felt uncomfortable and vomited, thinking that her internal organs were injured. As a result, she was sent to the hospital for examination, and it was discovered that she was two months pregnant!
He is still lying in the hospital, and I don’t know if he can save the baby. Su Xiangyang’s voice was choked with sobs.
This news scared the elders again. Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, Aunt Xu, and Xu Liwen flew to Province Y that day.
Meng Tao and Xu Zhen really wanted to go with them. Xu Zhen was simply concerned about her niece, but Meng Tao was half concerned and half wanted to take the opportunity to get some supplies from Province Y, as Province Y's specialties were so abundant and of very good quality.
Meng Tao felt that Xu Aoxue was most likely to be fine, because she and Shen Yu had equipped Xu Aoxue, Liu Jianye, and Xu Yulin with "life-saving drugs" that could be used in critical moments.
The packages she gave Xu Aoxue were more detailed and varied than those given by Liu Jianye and Xu Yulin. If Xu Aoxue took them regularly, her physical condition and fitness would only get better than before.
But there were not enough seats on the helicopter, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not go. They could only gesture and write at home, expressing their regrets and talking. Shen Heping looked at them and pretended to be calm, but he was relieved in his heart: he couldn't get away, but he didn't want his daughter-in-law to go so far away, even if she was with her parents. His daughter-in-law, as long as she left his eyes, would be in danger! Shen Yu knew that they couldn't go, so he didn't say anything.
These days Shen Yu goes out early and comes back late, sometimes going out in the middle of the night. He comes back in the morning for a while, sees his wife and son, has breakfast, and goes back to work.
When the couple met, they just spent their time being affectionate and chatting. When their son was awake, they would hug and coax him. They rarely talked about what Shen Yu had done. Meng Tao knew that he was cooperating with his cousin Xu's "plan".
When Xiao Yunhai turned 100 days old, we planned to have a meal with three tables of people that day, including our own family and the elders from the Xu and Meng families. But in the end, many relatives, friends, elders and colleagues came uninvited, so in the end, nine tables of banquet were set up. It was another lively and festive day.
There were also some unpleasant things during that period, which were caused by my second aunt, Deng Liyun.
Grandma Xu and aunt Wu Daning went to Province Y. Although Xu Aoxue was out of danger and the baby in her belly was fine, she needed to lie in bed and rest. Grandma Xu and Wu Daning knew Xu Aoxue's personality and were worried that she would not listen to the doctor, so they had to stay there with her for a while.
When little Yunhai turned one hundred days old, Shen Heping and Shen Yu reminded the uncles to come over for a gathering. Deng Liyun naturally knew about this, and Grandma Xu had already prepared a hundred-day gift for her grandson, sealed it, and called Deng Liyun that day to ask her to send it over.
Deng Liyun did as she was told and brought six more people with her, making a total of seven people including herself.
There is nothing wrong with giving gifts and drinking wine, but when Meng Tao came out to greet them, she saw that she only knew three of the seven people. Apart from Deng Liyun, the other two were Deng Linlin and Wu Hong, whom she did not welcome.
The other four middle-aged people, two men and two women, seemed to be two couples whom Meng Tao had never seen before.
Deng Liyun smiled and said to Meng Tao, "These are all my friends who often come to my house to play. Your grandma knows them all. Their daughters-in-law are about to give birth. I heard that you are good at raising babies and have taken good care of little Yunhai, making him plump, smart and cute. I wanted to come and see and learn from your experience. In the future, they will also raise him in the same way."
Meng Tao was already unhappy with Deng Liyun for taking the initiative and bringing irrelevant people here without asking for permission first. She would not agree to Deng Linlin and Wu Hong entering her home. After hearing what Deng Liyun said, she became even more unhappy and said coldly, "We don't have much experience. We have guests at home today and it's not convenient to receive them. Sorry, please go back!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, casually telling Uncle Gao to close the door and that no one was allowed to come in without permission.
A group of people stood there in shock, looking at each other, and then all looked at Deng Liyun.
Deng Liyun was also confused. She vaguely remembered the day of the 100-day banquet at the Wei Mansion. She couldn't help but get angry: How dare a nephew's wife repeatedly slap her aunt in the face? What kind of family rules is this? She couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Meng Tao, stop right there! Look at who I am clearly. I am Shen Yu's aunt! Do you understand that you are my uncle? Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? You apologize to me and my relatives and friends today! Otherwise, call Shen Yu here immediately to take a good look at your face. You are totally uneducated! If you don't correct yourself, I will divorce you and let you go tomorrow!"
Meng Tao had already gone in and didn't want to respond, but when she heard Deng Liyun asking her to divorce and get out, she couldn't help but turn back, walked straight to Deng Liyun, and stared into her eyes:
"No one gave me the courage, because you don't know how to respect others, so I can only talk to you like this. Now you also answer me a question: What qualifications do you have to ask me to divorce you and get out?"
"I am qualified! Shen Yu is my nephew. I can ask him to divorce you in a matter of minutes!"
Deng Liyun was mentally strong and was not frightened at all by Meng Tao's fierce look. She walked straight forward and waved her hand to slap her.
Meng Tao turned her head away and cursed in her heart, I underestimated how strong this woman is.
Deng Liyun asked Shen Yu and Meng Tao to divorce in the name of her aunt. The happiest and most relieved people were Deng Linlin and Wu Hong. When they saw Deng Liyun was going to slap Meng Tao, they immediately rushed forward, ostensibly trying to dissuade her, but actually wanted to take sides and help their aunt and uncle to slap Meng Tao a few more times to vent their anger.
Meng Tao saw through their thoughts, and when the two of them came closer and tried to hug her arms to make it easier for Deng Liyun to slap her in the face, she simply kicked each of them. This was a good move, as she didn't use too much force, otherwise one of their legs would have been broken on the spot.
Even so, Deng Linlin and Wu Hong could not bear the pain. The two girls did not care about the embarrassment and sat down on the ground, hugging their legs and crying.
Deng Liyun panicked and quickly squatted down to check the injuries of her niece and nephew. The four men and women standing nearby also hurried to help, while blaming Meng Tao: It's too cruel. We are all relatives and friends, why do you treat us like enemies?
Deng Liyun was furious when she heard this. She stood up and pointed at Meng Tao and cursed:
"You are so mean! What they said is right, you are indeed a disaster! Ever since you appeared, our family has never been at peace, it's always been this or that - Linlin and Honghong have no home to return to, Hengze and Lina, a loving couple, divorced, Lina has been lonely since then, Hengze has become disabled! Now it's Aoxue, if something happens, she won't be able to keep the child! Uncle Shen remained a virgin for our sister-in-law, but you insisted on instigating Uncle Shen to find a mute. Can a good man be happy if he marries a mute? Who are you and what are your intentions? How do you want our family to be destroyed before you are satisfied? You tell me!"
