Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 806 - 733: Stealing Money_2

...

Little Star had a dream, dreaming that she flew up to the sky and sat on the moon. The moon was very soft and comfortable. It could even sway.

But it was too hot, and lastly, the heat woke her up.

After opening her eyes, she found she wasn’t dreaming but was being held in her aunt’s arms.

Little Star rubbed her eyes groggily and called out, "Auntie, I saw a thief with my brother today."

"Little Star is amazing, tomorrow Auntie will take you to catch the thief, okay?"

"Okay."

"Go back to sleep; we’ll be home soon."

Hu Lijuan thought she was talking in her sleep, sitting on the bicycle, gently patted her. Seeing her close her eyes and fall back asleep, she felt relieved.

Hu Bin, who was riding the bike, heard his granddaughter’s voice. Although he missed her, he dared not speak to her. It was already late, and playing all day must have tired the child. He was also afraid that if he talked to her, she’d wake up and remember her mom’s situation, and start making a fuss—it would be troublesome.

...

This night was the hardest for Lin Wan; the pain almost made her pinch her hand until it bled.

"Why are you so stubborn? If we’re healthy, there will be opportunities in the future. Why push yourself so hard now?" Shen Qing looked at the terrifying scar on Lin Wan’s body, still a bit red and swollen.

She wouldn’t even take the painkillers.

"Mom, it’s okay, it’ll pass in two days." Lin Wan lay on the bed, unable to move. Even wanting to go to the bathroom had to be solved in bed. This position of lying down was really uncomfortable, luckily she didn’t want to go now. Otherwise, it would be miserable.

To distract her from the discomfort, Tan Aixiang went downstairs to get her a magazine to read.

Sitting down, Tan Aixiang looked at Lin Wan and sighed, "It’s all my fault for being careless, if I had been a bit more alert, how could such a thing have happened?"

"Li Chang, that person, is getting more and more unreliable. He aims too high but is inept, always thinking of gaining without working. Now he’s married and separated from the family, his parents can’t control him. If he can do this today, there’ll surely be bigger problems in the future," Shen Qing said.

"Mom, I won’t just let things go with a few words this time."

"Mm, we can’t just let that scoundrel off the hook."

"Shen Rong is also unfortunate; through this marriage, she should come to realize things. Seeing more clearly."

"Isn’t that true, everyone needs to grow up, it’s just that the price for growth differs," Shen Qing said with some emotion.

It seemed the Shen daughters were all like this.

"Yes." Lin Wan, lying on the bed, chuckled self-deprecatingly; it took her a lifetime to grow up.

"Aunt, Xiao Wan is okay for now. You should get some sleep. Xiao Wan will probably have to stay in the hospital for several days. We can’t just keep on like this."

"Okay, I’ll take a nap."

Lin Wan’s wound was quite deep; aside from the pain, everything else was fine. Luckily, she didn’t get a fever that night.

Around three in the morning, she finally managed to fall asleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was already past ten. Shen Qing wanted her to sleep a bit more, otherwise waking up would just mean more pain.

If only she could sleep for two days, then after two days, the wound might not hurt anymore.

However, when Lin Wan woke up, the pain wasn’t as bad as the previous night. Shen Qing let Tan Aixiang go home to rest.

By the time Lin Wan woke up, Hu Lijuan and Little Star had been there for quite a while.

Seeing it was almost noon on such a hot day, Shen Qing didn’t let them go home. Instead, she went to the hospital canteen to have a light chicken soup prepared, along with two side dishes and rice.

"Grandma, Mama woke up, Mama hurts a lot. She sweated a lot," Little Star pointed to Lin Wan on the bed as Shen Qing brought the food in.

"Since you’re awake, eat something—it’ll help you recover faster."

"Sister-in-law, you’re awake," Hu Lijuan quickly pulled Little Star along to ask if Lin Wan needed anything.

"Mommy, it doesn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt. Xingxing will blow on it, and it won’t hurt. Xingxing has been good since arriving today, didn’t disturb Mommy’s sleep. Auntie said Mommy is expecting a little brother, so you need to rest well."

"Mm, Xingxing is really good." Lin Wan looked at her well-behaved daughter and smiled, raising her hand to stroke her head.

But before her hand reached, Little Star turned her little face away, avoiding her touch.

"Mommy, look! Auntie tied Little Star’s hair into a pretty braid today. Grandpa said I look so pretty, Mommy can’t mess it up."

Her expression made Lin Wan and Hu Lijuan burst out in laughter.
