Guan Lian held Xiao Sheng's hand tightly, but Chen Wei was so angry that he pulled so hard that Xiao Sheng almost stumbled. She had no choice but to let go first, but she quickly took two steps forward to block the doorway and prevent Chen Wei from going in.
“This is my son, whom I carried for ten months and raised with great difficulty. When he had a fever before, your mother didn’t care and could still go play cards without worry. What about you? You came home, took one look, complained once, and then did nothing. Now, what right do you have to take my son away?”
Chen Junsheng was so frightened by his mother and father's fight that he stood still. Even now, as his father was holding him, he was still in a daze and didn't know how to resist.
"When he had chickenpox, you didn't even glance at your two children lying in bed. You were even afraid of infecting you, so you simply moved your belongings to the factory to live. Chen Wei, have you forgotten all of this?"
Guan Lian's barrage of questions quickly stirred up memories among the neighbors and her parents: a child in the building had chickenpox before, which quickly spread to the entire building. Everyone was rushing their children to the hospital, but the hospital couldn't accommodate all the patients, so the later ones had to stay at home.
Because of their children's situation, everyone was rushing to ask for leave while they were at work. The higher-ups also knew about the situation. Only Chen Wei was cold-hearted and incomprehensible. Both of his sons had chickenpox, and it was quite serious. He actually moved his bedding to the factory.
People are exceptionally kind these days. Although they love to gossip about this and that, they always think of helping each other when something happens. Guan Lian couldn't possibly take care of two sickly children all by herself. After going to work, she had to cook and take care of them. Her parents would rush over, and the neighbors would also lend a hand.
Later, some people couldn't stand it anymore and, unable to find Yang Chunhua, simply went to the factory to look for Chen Wei.
“Ah Wei, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Liang are going to the hospital for injections today. Why don’t you go and check on them? How can Ah Lian take care of them all by herself? Look at her dark circles, they’re almost down to her chin. She hasn’t slept for several nights and still has to go to work during the day.”
"Why don't you go back and cover her shift tonight so she can get some sleep? Otherwise, how can she stay up all night?"
Everyone wanted to persuade him to go back and help Guan Lian, so their tone was relatively kind, and even if they felt contempt, they tried to keep it to themselves.
But who would have thought that when Chen Wei saw them coming, he would take a few steps back and cover his mouth and nose with his hands, asking, "Does your child also have chickenpox?"
His evasive manner made it seem as if they carried a disease, and everyone's expressions immediately turned sour, but he acted as if he hadn't noticed.
“My mom said that anyone who has never had chickenpox can be infected. I never had it when I was little, so you all need to stay away from me so you don’t infect me.”
Upon discovering that a child in the building had chickenpox, Yang Chunhua quickly told her son to find a way to move to the factory to live. She worried that he might catch chickenpox since he had never had it as a child. She then moved out herself as well.
The person who came to advise them left with a dark face. During that time, everyone in the building worked together, and the children's used quilt covers were boiled in a large pot outside the building.
Guan Lian lived in constant torment. Not only could she not eat or sleep well, but she also nearly collapsed into the machinery at work. Fortunately, with everyone's help, she managed to get through it, and both children were eventually safe.
They were dating on their own, not introduced by a matchmaker, so they naturally had feelings for each other; otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten married.
But as these events unfolded, they not only eroded Guan Lian's feelings for him, but also made her see the man's hypocrisy and wickedness. Eventually, she felt disgusted even lying in the same bed with him.
