Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 970 - 787: Hua Hua in Trouble (Part 2)

Xie Lingzhi had no opinion either, considering the Tao Family was present. Even if she had thoughts, she wouldn’t voice them in front of the Tao Family. She didn’t want to lose face.

However, Ye Qing was feeling gloomy inside. After all the effort it took to coax Old Mrs. Mei into the hospital, the Mei Family was now planning to leave.

She had initially thought that since her second aunt was sick today, her second uncle would surely need to take care of her, leaving him unable to attend to this matter. Surely her father-in-law and mother-in-law would have to stay for the night.

Unexpectedly, it turned out this way. This result was unacceptable. She needed to quickly come up with another plan.

"Shuqing, you should go home. You haven’t rested for so many days, and mom is worried. Head home for a rest. Let Xiao Yi accompany you, that’s enough," Old Mrs. Mei insisted persistently.

Mei Shuqing directly refuted, "No need, it’s already decided. Brother, I need to go to the barracks later. Let sister-in-law watch over for now, I’ll be back tonight."

Mei Shuqing nodded, glanced at Ye Qing and Mei Langchi, and said, "You two can head back as well. It’s fine with just me and your mom here."

With the Tao Family present, it was slightly awkward for Xiao Chi and Ye Qing to stay. For those of their generation, it didn’t seem appropriate. On top of that, he had plans for the afternoon, so letting Lingzhi stay here for the afternoon seemed perfect.

After Mei Shuping finished speaking, Mei Shuqing greeted the other two families inside the room and promptly took Han Yi Lin Wan out. There was no chance given to Old Mrs. Mei.

In the middle bed inside the room was an old veteran of the barracks. He might not be as wealthy as the Mei Family and Tao Family, but he was a respected old army veteran, respected even in the corridors.

The Tao Family required no mention. The relationship between Mei Shuqing and Tao Jiangfeng was also an unspoken understanding, despite the previous unhappiness, it hardly made a difference. Now that an elder at home was ill, they naturally cared.

Old Mrs. Tao was feeling unwell, but she wasn’t deaf or blind. She heard Old Mrs. Mei’s earlier words clearly, secretly criticizing how melodramatic Old Mrs. Mei was.

She played favoritism to the extreme, being kind to her grandson and son. Yet, for her grandson who had just returned, whose wife was heavily pregnant and whose daughter was barely a few years old, with just a few chairs around, she forced that family to serve her. It was simply too excessive.

She was now thankful that her granddaughter divorced her grandson. With such elders in the family, how could her granddaughter live well?

She heard that her illegitimate grandson’s wife was the granddaughter of the Lin Family from Z City. For Old Mrs. Mei to disregard even the Lin Family and still try to wear down their granddaughter, if the Lin Family knew, they wouldn’t tolerate it.

...

"Xiao Wan, Xiao Yi just took a break today, must be exhausted from the barracks, take him home quickly for some rest." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Godfather, the one who needs rest most is you. You haven’t rested from last night till now. Han Yi and I will take care here."

"I don’t need you to look after me. I’ll be fine just staying up for two days with some IV drips. After finishing my drip in the morning, I’ll be fine in the afternoon. I’ll rest on the hospital bed for an afternoon, no need for you to stay here. Just head home," what Liang Qian said made sense. She didn’t have any serious condition, lying on the bed unable to move. Her hospitalization was deliberately staged for the old lady to see.

"I think so too, you should go home. No worries about your godmother, and besides, I have to handle something at the barracks and will be back soon. There’s no need to worry about me, I slept most of last night while watching over, so I’m not tired now. Please, listen to me and your godmother, just hurry back home. There are a lot of germs in the hospital, Xiao Wan and Xingxing shouldn’t get sick."

Han Yi didn’t delay, leaving the hospital with Lin Wan and heading home.

...

"Old man, did you get it?"

"Got it, I got it, a small bump on the head, and a few drops of blood."

"Ah, how could you bump the child’s head? Is it serious? I told you to prick the child’s finger and draw a few drops of blood." Li Liang’s mother was worried upon hearing that Mr. Li Liang had bumped the child’s head.

"No, he was playing with a few kids and accidentally tripped, bumping onto his head. Fortunately, I was there; otherwise, it could have been worse. If he were really my grandson, I would have been heartbroken."

"How is he now? How could Sister Wu let the child play alone?" Li Liang’s mother started to blame Aunt Wu.

"It’s fine, just mischievous children playing together outside. Accidents happen. Actually, this accident helps us out. The child has already been taken back by the courtyard people, probably to the hospital now."

"Alright then, so we’re heading to the hospital now?" Li Liang’s mom asked while looking at the small tube in her husband’s hand.

"Yes, now. I can’t wait to find out." Mr. Li Liang rarely showed excitement.

Li Liang’s mom quickly packed up, grabbed some money, and the couple excitedly left the house. But as they reached the courtyard entrance, Mr. Li Liang suddenly stopped smiling and halted.

Li Liang’s mom, seeing him stop, was puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

"I think it’s better to head back to our hometown to do this. We know people in S City, but the Mei Family has considerable influence here. If we recklessly find a hospital here to do this and run into someone familiar with the Mei Family, that would be trouble."

"No... it couldn’t be that coincidental." Li Liang’s mom hesitated.

"What if? It’s the ’what if’ that concerns me. To be safe, we should go back." Mr. Li Liang thought it over and confirmed.

"But we’ve finally got the blood, if we go back and forth, what if we lose the child?" Li Liang’s mom was eager, since they had been in the Capital City for such a long time, just missing this one step.
