As soon as Lin Yaowen opened the door, he noticed that the atmosphere in the ward was not right.
Everyone looked at him with anger and accusation, as if he had committed some unforgivable mistake.
His heart skipped a beat, and he thought it was because he came late and made everyone angry.
So he quickly explained: "Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, I'm really sorry, something delayed me."
The uncle had a cold face, snorted heavily, turned his head away, and didn't want to look at him again.
The eldest aunt's face was full of anger. She didn't rush over, but raised her hand and gave a loud slap in the face.
With a "pop" sound, the crisp sound was particularly harsh in the quiet room.
Meng Yinting, who was sitting in the bed, opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
Her family members were speaking up for her, and she couldn't be soft-hearted at this time.
...
...
Otherwise it would really disappoint the family members.
"I treat my daughter like a treasure, and this is how you take care of her? Look how thin she has become. The son she gave birth to has your last name, Lin!"
My aunt's voice was tearful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
Lin Yaowen was dizzy and dazed by the slap.
He covered his face which instantly turned red and swollen, completely confused about what was happening.
"Mom, I... I admit that I am usually busy with work and pay less attention to Yinting, but I have never treated her badly. She is so thin because of her pregnancy reaction. She can't eat anything. My mom also said..."
Lin Yaowen wanted to explain, but his aunt couldn't stand it anymore.
The aunt interrupted him angrily before he could finish.
"What can't you eat? Do you know what your mother usually feeds Yinting when she's pregnant?"
The aunt's voice trembled slightly with excitement. She lowered her voice for fear of waking up the sleeping baby beside her, but she couldn't suppress her anger.
Lin Yaowen frowned, looking confused.
"I checked last time, there were meat and vegetables and everything. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Last time he also found that Meng Yinting had lost a lot of weight. He asked Yinting, but she didn't say anything. So Lin Yaowen could stay at home for dinner. He wanted to see what his mother usually cooked for Yinting at home, but he didn't find anything wrong.
His mother also complained that Yinting was too picky about food, refusing to eat this or that, and was too difficult to serve.
He thought Meng Yinting was like this because she was pregnant, so he didn't take it to heart.
But now from what my mother-in-law said, it seemed that their family abused the pregnant Meng Yinting.
Seeing that his puzzled expression didn't seem fake, Song Shishi stepped forward to explain.
"Xunzhou and I heard that Yinting was about to give birth, so we went to see her tonight. But do you know what your mother gave Yinting to eat?"
"What?" Lin Yaowen asked subconsciously, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Song Shishi clenched her fists, restrained her emotions, and continued:
"The porridge was so thin that you could hardly see any rice grains, and there were vegetable leaves without any oil or water!
Even a normal person can’t bear to eat these every day, let alone she is a pregnant woman, how can she not lose weight?
Your mother scolded her in front of Xunzhou and me, saying that she was a worthless person and was only worthy of eating these.
Is this what you mean?
Is this what you mean by not mistreating her?"
Lin Yaowen listened, his pupils visibly dilated, and he kept muttering, "How is it possible... How is it possible..."
After Song Shishi finished speaking, Lin Yaowen no longer cared about anyone else. He rushed to the bedside of Meng Yinting, who was already in tears. With trembling hands, he wanted to hug her but didn't dare to.
"Wife, what mom and cousin's wife said is not true, right? They are just angry that I came late today, so they said that on purpose, right?"
Lin Yaowen stared at Meng Yinting's eyes, as if he wanted to see approval of his words in Meng Yinting's eyes.
But Meng Yinting looked away and choked up as she said, "Mom and cousin's wife are right."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Lin Yaowen's voice trembled slightly.
He didn't understand why Meng Yinting had suffered such a great injustice but had kept it secret from him.
Meng Yinting bit her lip and spoke after a long while.
"Your mother threatened me that if I dared to secretly tell you about it, she would put drugs in my food."
After hearing Meng Yinting's words, the room suddenly became quiet. Everyone gasped, with disbelief on their faces.
How cruel and vicious a woman must be to say such words to her daughter-in-law?
Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open forcefully.
With a loud "bang", the baby who was originally sleeping soundly was frightened and burst into tears.
Meng Yinting wanted to pick him up distressedly, but Song Shishi stepped forward and said, "You just gave birth, you should lie down and rest first. We are here for you."
After saying that, she picked up the baby, covered his ears, and coaxed him in a low voice.
Meng Yinting looked at her and slowly lay down.
At the door of the ward, Lin Yaowen's mother came with the Lin family with arrogant expressions.
She glanced at everyone in the ward and yelled at the top of her voice, "What's going on? Did you give birth to a money-loser? Who are you all looking at with such sullen faces?"
Lin Yaowen's eyes were red, and he rushed to his mother and asked, "Mom, how can you feed Yinting those things every day? Our family is not without money. Don't I give you household allowance every month?"
His mother glared and put her hands on her hips.
"What have I done to her? I'm busy serving her food and drink every day, but she's still picky. As her mother-in-law, can't I say a few words to her?"
The uncle snorted coldly, "You call that serving? You served me porridge and vegetable leaves, and you called my daughter a worthless person, and even threatened to put drugs in her food. How can you say that?"
Lin Yaowen's mother didn't change her expression, and kept on saying, "I think you are just looking for trouble. My son works hard outside to earn money, and she is enjoying a comfortable life at home. She still wants me, an old woman, to serve her at home, and you are still not satisfied. What's the matter? Are you trying to make trouble?"
Meng Yinting lay on the bed, covering her face with the quilt, crying silently.
The aunt wanted to rush over and fight with Lin Yaowen's mother, but was held back by Fu Shuxian.
When dealing with this kind of person, you must not do anything impulsive, otherwise you will really fall into her trap.
Fu Shuxian has been patient until now, and she was just about to say something to Lin Yaowen's mother.
As a result, the hospital nurse was attracted by the noise and sternly advised: "Keep your voice down, this is a hospital, don't disturb the patients' rest."
As she spoke, the nurse glanced around the ward and continued, "Also, don't keep so many people in the ward. Just one or two will be enough. Everyone else should leave quickly."
With the nurse's warning, everyone in the room fell silent.
The aunt took a few deep breaths, pulled down the hem of her clothes, turned around, took the comforted baby from Song Shishi, and whispered, "Your uncle and I will stay to take care of Yinting, you guys go back first. When Yinting is discharged from the hospital, I will invite you to my home as a guest."
Meng Yinting has her uncle and aunt to take care of her, so there is nothing to worry about.
Song Shishi nodded.
Meng Xunzhou came over and hugged her, and said to Meng Yinting, who was naked and had only a pair of tearful eyes, "Yinting, take good care of yourself. We will go to your uncle's house to see you in a few days."
Meng Yinting said "hmm" softly.
Meng Xunzhou took the lead and walked out of the ward with Song Shishi.
When he passed by Lin Yaowen and the Lin family, he said sternly with a grim expression, "Why are you standing here? Do you want me to chase you away personally?"
Meng Xunzhou had the unique deterrent power of a soldier. Even Lin Yaowen's mother, who had suffered from him, did not dare to say anything at this time.
Several people looked at each other and had to leave the ward.
Fu Shuxian and Zheng Peilan, accompanied by Meng Guanru, also walked out of the ward.
Lin Yaowen grabbed his mother's hand and whispered something at the door of the ward.
Song Shishi only vaguely heard words like "money-losing goods".
