Perhaps it was because Doctor Lin had informed the Ling family that Hu Xin had rushed to the hospital in a hurry. She had not even changed her makeup, so it was obvious that she was still sleeping. Every mother is the same, poor or rich, young or old, a mother always has her children on her mind.
"Mom …"
"Don't call me mother, I can't take it!" Hu Xin was worried about her son, but she didn't acknowledge her daughter-in-law, "Go away, jinx, unlucky bastard. Ever since you entered our Ling family, we haven't had a peaceful day at home."
Hu Xin stepped forward and opened Shu Shu's hand, forcefully pushing her away from the sickbed. In any case, this wasn't home, and his grandma wasn't here. Ling Qiao was unconscious, so she could freely vent some of his dissatisfaction.
"It was already so late yesterday, you still didn't let Ling Qiao go home and sleep, what kind of peace are you in!?" Yes, you are very powerful, and very successful in capturing my son's heart. You little fox girl, you tricked the marriage scam, and even fooled the elders, do you not have nightmares when you sleep at night?! "
"Why are you looking at me like that? Where did I say anything wrong?" "Let me tell you, don't try anything. If I really get beaten to death by you, my son will definitely hate you. I don't believe that after raising a son for so many years, I will ignore his mother for the sake of a woman."
Hu Xin's scolding shot out like a bullet. Shu Shu didn't even have the right to interrupt her. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was her husband, so she was in a coma.
"Little vixen, don't look so pitiful. I don't like men. Don't always blame your father for abandoning your mother and daughter. If something happens, don't always think that others are too kind to you. You have to find fault with yourself. Shu Shu, let me remind you one last time, the Ling family's position is not something that a single illegitimate daughter like you can achieve, and the Ling family's reputation will not allow a single illegitimate daughter to touch the dark. Recently, our entire family has been tired of hearing crazy rumors and fretting about it, if you know what's good for you, don't go to any of the reporters tomorrow. I'm telling you, since Grandma accepts you, I won't accept you. I'll never accept you! "
Hu Xin scolded until she was out of breath. On the way here, her heart was on fire, thinking about her broken pelvis, thinking about Ling Qiao who was getting more and more disobedient, thinking about all the gossip she had heard from other noble women, she was furious. She would fight to discredit her family. Even if she died on the battlefield, she would die for the honor of the Ling family.
The doctors and nurses rushed over upon hearing the news. A few nurses stood guard at the entrance, not daring to enter. Only Dr. Lin dared to step forward to mediate. "Madam Ling, stop arguing. The entire hospital heard … ShuShu, go outside and sit for a while. The head nurse has brought breakfast with her.
She didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to care about anything. In the past, she was too stubborn and willful, and every time she couldn't help but clash with Hu Xin, which was why she made it difficult for Ling Qiao. Now that he was sick, her only reliance was on him. She could not let him suffer any more.
So what if the mother-in-law didn't accept? As long as Ling Qiao didn't let go, she was still his wife. It was reasonable and legal.
"Doctor Lin, please persuade my mother-in-law. I'll go out first." Her reason remained firmly in Shu's mind. She spoke calmly.
"Who's your mother-in-law? Don't call me mother-in-law. I can't afford to take responsibility. I'm afraid I might lose my life!"
Doctor Lin quickly pulled Hu Xin along, "Okay okay, she went out."
Hu Xin couldn't hold in her anger any longer, "It's all because of you, Ling Qiao and Xia Qingqing have no end …" She turned around and looked at the pale Ling Qiao on the sickbed, "Aiyo, my son, how can you be like this? Dr. Lin, Ling Qiao has never been sick, and has rarely had headaches or fever. Is there something wrong with this sudden fever?"
Doctor Lin comforted her, "Don't worry about that. There are no other problems, just a fever. I have a fever in the latter half of the night and am currently in high spirits. It will be difficult to stop."
"What kind of suffering is this? His father also has an inflammation of the throat in the morning and has taken the anti-inflammatory medicine before falling asleep. Doctor Lin, I'll have to trouble you to go there later."
"Alright, this kind of weather is the easiest to catch a cold. I'll bring some ointment for you guys. Eat some with the madame and the servants to prevent a cold."
"Thank you so much."
"Not at all, it should be …"
Outside the ward, Shu sat on the couch in silence. A few familiar nurses came up to her and advised her not to take it to heart. The head nurse brought some soy milk and youtiao, saying that it was specially bought for her downstairs.
"Thank you, I'm fine, really!" His mother had died and had been betrayed by Little Xuan. Wasn't it just a few words from Hu Xin? She was Ling Qiao's mother, and she also regarded her as her mother. Being scolded by her own mother, she really couldn't do anything.
The head nurse let everyone go off to work, patting Shu on the shoulder and saying, "There are many cases of disagreements between wives in many families, and it's very common. The important thing is that the person you married thinks you are one, and it's fine if his mother-in-law doesn't think highly of you. In five years, ten years, twenty years, there will come a day when he'll agree with you.
"En!" Hearing the head nurse's comforting words, Shu Shu's tears couldn't help but fall down.
There's still love between people, isn't there? If a stranger can be a friend, then a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be, can't they? She wholeheartedly loved Ling Qiao, and did not covet his money nor seek his profit. One day, they would accept it, wouldn't they?
The door to the ward was always locked. If a nurse wanted to go in and look at Ling Qiao's body temperature, she would have to knock on the door as well. Only after Hu Xin opened the door would she be able to enter. Ling Qiao did not have a fever for a long time. Doctor Lin gave him another injection, and when Shu Shu saw it through the door, his face turned green.
How could this be?! Hubby, nothing must happen to you.
He couldn't help but think about what happened last night. He was already very hot by then, but he was always like a stove, so she didn't pay much attention to him. Afterwards, he went to the bathroom, took a shower, and went to sleep. How can you sleep with a fever?!
Wait, did you take a shower? That's right, the water in the water heater had not been heated up at all. Ling Qiao had gone to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and had taken a cold shower!
This cold virus must have been hidden inside his body a long time ago, and he believed that he wouldn't get sick. He drank, drank tea and took a cold shower, and the virus immediately shot up, knocking him, who was as strong as a cow, to the ground.
After a while, the nurse came out. Shu went up to him and asked, "Did he have a fever?"
The nurse nodded, "It's slowly decreasing. 38 degrees Celsius. Don't worry, I'll wake up soon."
Shushu felt slightly more at ease. Thinking that he would be hungry when he woke up after a day of not eating, she quickly grabbed her bag and hurried downstairs.
It was already two or three in the afternoon, and the restaurants near the hospital were full of fast food restaurants. At this time, the fast food restaurants were usually full of leftovers. So she went to the fruit store and bought some bananas and oranges.
Bananas could make up for food, he often told her, and oranges could strengthen the body.
Shu Shu bought two bags of fruits and carried them up to the ward. The door was open.
"Qiao, this is the porridge that I specially made. I added some salt to it to flavor it. It won't be too light. Quickly drink some."
Hearing the sound, Shu Shu stopped in her tracks. It was Tang Siqing. She had arrived really quickly. Just like a cold virus, she had arrived when she wasn't paying attention.
"Thank you." Ling Qiao's voice was hoarse, with a heavy nasal tone. He took the bowl and turned to look at Hu Xin, "Mom, where's Shu Shu?"
Hu Xin snappily replied, "What do you want to do with her? I don't know."
"She's probably too tired to go back. I didn't see her when I came in."
Ling Qiao lowered his head, scooping a spoonful into his mouth. The rice porridge smelled very good, but he really had no appetite. He only took a sip and put it on the bedside table. "I'll eat it later. I'm not hungry."
"Joe, you're not hungry because you have no appetite, but you need to eat a little."
"That's right, son. Qingqing was right. It's inconvenient for her to bring porridge to you. You can't not appreciate her kindness, right? Don't make a ruckus in a child's temper. Eat it."
Ling Qiao furrowed his brows. His body was still weak, and he wanted to pee even if he had to eat it. However, it was too embarrassing for Tang Siqing to say, "Worry."
One was a masked rival, and the other was a blindfolded mother-in-law. ShuShu didn't know whether he should rush in now or wait outside. She didn't want to start a conflict with Hu Xin and make things difficult for Ling Qiao, so she wasn't willing to do it.
As he was in a dilemma, a nurse came over with a saltwater bag, "Mrs. Ling, you're back. CEO Ling even asked me where you went."
Shu Shu froze for a moment, not knowing how to reply. She heard someone say, "Wife, you're back?"
Ling Qiao seemed to have found a lifesaver as he called out, "Wife?"
Shu Shu stood at the door with the bag in her hand. Ling Qiao had her in his heart, so of course she was the happiest. "I'll go down and buy some fruits."
Hu Xin rolled his eyes at her and snappily said, "Son, you have a cold and have a fever. You should eat less cold things and drink some hot porridge."
Shushu was a smart person. In front of her husband and mother-in-law, she wouldn't argue or something, she was only fooled by this woman. She set the fruit aside and kindly supported Tang Xiuqing's wheelchair, smiling as she said, "Qiqing, thank you so much. I still need you to bring my husband some congee."
Tang Beiqing also awkwardly smiled. "You're welcome. I was just passing by. I was just about to come to the hospital for a reexamination. If your ligaments recover well, you'll have to start recovering."
"Oh? Really! Then we won't be able to delay your visit. Mom, why don't you accompany Sister Qing to the orthopedic department? Her legs are not convenient, so it's better to have someone to help her up and down the elevator. "
Hearing her words, Hu Xin could not say whether it was good or bad. Since Ling Qiao had awoken, he could not scold her like he did before.
Ling Qiao also said, "That's right, mother. It's inconvenient for her to be alone again. Go and accompany her."
Tang Thirty-Six continued to smile, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. In this situation, it was hard for her to say anything.
Hu Xin didn't have any other choice. Under the coaxing of ShuShu and Ling Qiao, she accompanied Tang Caiqing to the orthopedic clinic for a follow-up visit. Before they left, ShuShu Shuang didn't forget to smile and said, "Big Sister Shuiqing, thank you for the porridge. It's really plenty. It's enough for two people."
Tang Beiqing was simply furious.
