After Liu He realized what was happening, she busied herself looking for something to throw at her. Ye Man estimated that she was not far away and stood there. Her acting skills were not as good as Ma Mingyue's at the moment. Even if she wanted to squeeze out tears, she couldn't, and she couldn't bear to pinch herself hard.
"Mom...Mom, are you alright? You scared me to death! What would we do if something happened to you? I didn't mean to, can you forgive me?"
The crocodile tears were feigned compassion. Liu He wanted nothing more than for her to get out the moment she saw her, but she never expected that this daughter-in-law was so angry that she wanted to kill herself. There were no tears in her eyes at all, and she even deliberately stretched out her hand.
There was an enamel mug on the bedside table. Before his mother could start looking for something, He Zhangcheng quickly stepped forward and took the enamel mug in his hand. Seeing that there was not much danger, Ye Man simply took a few more steps closer.
Her tone was so pitiful and sorrowful, "Mom, you've come all this way, it's not easy. It's my fault for being so ignorant and talking back to you. You're a member of the He family, no matter what your family has done to you, you always think of the ancestors of the He family..."
Saying hurtful things only works once or twice; if you say them too often, your heart becomes immune and you won't feel bad anymore. Ye Man knew when to stop. After helping her mother-in-law recall what she had said that day, she saw her mother-in-law's eyes widen again and quickly changed her tone.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm not the same person I was a few days ago. I now fully understand your good intentions. Please stop worrying and get some rest. You need to take good care of Mingyue's mother during this time. She can't leave the hospital for a while, and I can't help her much."
As for your clothes, I'll pack them as soon as I get back, so you don't need to worry about the house.
Since things are already in such a mess, she doesn't mind adding a little more chaos. She came today just to show that she is a good daughter-in-law who has admitted her mistakes and is actively serving her mother-in-law, so as not to give anyone cause for gossip.
If you don't like being hospitalized, then stay here. Why should her daughter have to hide? They should be the ones hiding.
Ma Mingyue had just been whispering in her cousin's ear, afraid that her cousin's wife would scold her too, so she kept her head down and pretended not to exist. Now, when she suddenly heard her name called, she looked up in surprise, "Huh?"
"Mom said she's not in good health, and I made her sick. She needs to take good care of herself. Why don't you stay here and recover before going back? I'll bring the luggage over in a bit, along with some hospital supplies."
After saying that, she smiled and quickly walked out of the ward. Liu He gasped for breath, feeling dizzy, short of breath, and unable to catch her breath. After a few seconds, she turned to her son and said, "What does she mean? Kicking us out, throwing us out the door, I—"
Poor Ma Mingyue was still in a daze when she saw her aunt clutching her chest again. She quickly got up from the bedside and patted her chest to help. He Zhangcheng immediately called the nurse over.
Liu He is in good health, but now that she is older, even if the doctor says everything is normal, she can pretend to be sick by covering her head. It is normal for people to have health problems when they get old.
Just like before, they couldn't find anything wrong, so the nurse could only tell her to relax and not be angry anymore.
He Zhangcheng frowned. "Doctor, is my mother's health not good? She's been hospitalized for several days, but we still can't find anything wrong with her."
The nurses at the military hospital were also military dependents in the family compound. They were young, just like Ye Man. They glanced down at Liu He, who was lying on the bed, groaning in pain. It wasn't that Liu He was unwell; it was that she was too healthy. Ultimately, it was a problem between her and her mother-in-law.
The nurse said casually, "When people get old, they all have health problems and need to rest and recuperate for a while."
After the nurse left, He Zhangcheng put the enamel mug back on the bedside table. "Mom, Ye Man is right. You need to take good care of your health. Stay in the hospital and go back home when you're fully recovered."
Liu He sprang straight up from the bed, staring at her son in disbelief. "What do you mean? You're going to kick your mother out too?"
He Zhangcheng watched her unusually nimble movements, dragged a stool over and sat down in front of the bed. "How can this be called kicking you out? Mom, you're not well, so you have to listen to the doctor and take good care of yourself. Don't worry, Mingyue will take care of you here, and I'll come to see you after I get off work."
Liu He stayed in the hospital two days ago to control Ye Man and want to drown her in spittle. Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law and son wanted to pack her up and dump her in the hospital.
"you--"
"I told you to relax and not be angry anymore, lie down now."
For the first two days, He Zhangcheng really thought his mother had gotten sick from being upset. He took care of her day and night for two days before realizing that his mother was perfectly healthy and was just pretending to be sick in the hospital to achieve her own goals.
"Mingyue, you've worked hard."
After leaving a message saying he was going home, He Zhangcheng left Ma Mingyue standing in the ward looking completely bewildered. She couldn't take a shower here, and she hadn't showered for two days. She thought her aunt would be able to kick her cousin's wife out and let them go back to her cousin's house, but she never expected that she would have to stay here again.
It felt like the days were endless.
My aunt and cousin's wife have been fighting for so many years. Before my cousin was around, my aunt couldn't gain much advantage, and now that my cousin's heart is on my cousin's wife's side, it goes without saying that my aunt is even more helpless.
"What's the point of me living? My own son, the son I carried for ten months and gave birth to! How could he listen to that vixen and abandon his mother in the hospital? What a terrible thing to do!"
She wasn't the only one in the ward; everyone was watching the drama unfold. When the nurse came to change the dressings for the other patients, she said, "Liu He, didn't you say your health hasn't improved? Your son is just doing this for your own good."
"I--"
"Oh dear, Auntie, what's wrong? You can't breathe again? Doctor, doctor!"
