Sun Chan nodded, "I understand, I won’t say anymore."
"That’s right. The one at fault is that bastard, not you. You even protected me. Don’t think about it anymore."
Sun Chan resolved to repay Zheng Lijuan well.
Before long, Zhao Jieyun returned. She had stayed with Zheng Lijuan all night, only catching a little sleep at dawn. Now, she looked a bit weary.
Zheng Lijuan said, "Alright, you should take your mother home to rest. I’m fine now."
"Let me stay with you a bit longer. It’s inconvenient for you to be here alone without a woman around. Do you need to use the bathroom? Should I get you a basin?"
"No need." Zheng Lijuan said awkwardly, "Didn’t I just go not long ago?" Having just given birth is awkward in this regard; you can only use the bathroom lying in the room. Mainly, it’s to avoid catching a chill, and because she’s not physically recovered, she can’t use the toilet outside.
Sun Chan said, "Don’t be shy. Just tell me if you need to use the bathroom."
Zheng Lijuan nodded. As they were speaking, the ward door opened. Her mother and mother-in-law both came in, a bit anxious since it was a premature birth. They approached Zheng Lijuan, asking her various questions.
The ward became very lively, they brought a bunch of things and started asking numerous questions.
Sun Chan felt a bit uneasy, as it was her actions that had caused all this.
Zheng Lijuan casually recounted her arm injury, "It was really scary! Without Sun Chan’s help at the time, I would have been in trouble."
Sun Chan hurriedly said, "Don’t say that, I’m still feeling very uneasy!"
Mrs. Tian said, "What are you worried about, child! It’s not your fault! There are bad people in this world, and you didn’t mean for my daughter-in-law to have bad luck!"
Mrs. Zheng agreed, "Exactly. My daughter having the child now is actually quite good. When I had her, she was over eight pounds! It took a whole day and night, I nearly died. Now, the child being small and born early means a faster recovery."
Sun Chan felt increasingly grateful and, seeing that Mrs. Tian didn’t seem to value sons over daughters, she liked the two women even more.
Mrs. Tian frowned, "That person’s so arrogant and domineering, we can’t just let it go. Leave it to me, I’ll definitely find that person."
Sun Chan thought, this woman is definitely not ordinary; families in official positions are just different.
Zheng Lijuan laughed, "Great, I’ll rely on you, mom, to show them how formidable my mother-in-law is!"
Everyone laughed. Sun Chan’s parents joined in the lively conversation and chatted for a while until they saw Zheng Lijuan getting drowsy, then Sun Chan took them home.
Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zheng walked them out together.
Zhao Jieyun was also exhausted and didn’t have much energy on the way back. When they got back to their residential area, Zhao Jieyun wanted to buy some groceries, "Let’s bring some fish soup to Zheng Lijuan, let’s go to the market."
"You go home and sleep, I’ll go buy it," said Yang Dongfeng, hurrying off.
Zhao Jieyun yawned, "Luckily, it’s past seven months already, otherwise this child would be really risky."
Sun Chan nodded, "Exactly. I was so worried. Now it’s finally over, and it’s all because I caused everyone trouble."
Zhao Jieyun was truly exhausted. At her age, after a restless night and no sleep, she couldn’t keep going anymore, so after washing up and having a little porridge, she went to bed.
Sun Chan also napped for a while, but her big belly made her frequently need the bathroom, so she got up soon. Just as she was about to go, she saw her dad return with a bag of greens and a carp. But his expression was anxious, and his forehead was sweaty.
Sun Chan said, "Dad, what’s wrong? What happened?"
Yang Dongfeng said, "Yes, something happened. Your father-in-law got into trouble."
"Fighting? Mom and I just heard earlier at the entrance."
"Yes, it was Wang Guihua who chopped him."
Sun Chan’s mind went blank, her body swayed, and he quickly supported her. Seeing her stunned expression, he added, "Actually, the injury isn’t very serious, don’t worry."
"Quickly, let’s go check on him," Sun Chan quickly said.
"You stay here," Yang Dongfeng held her shoulders, "You’re... not in a condition to go."
Sun Chan blinked, looking puzzled, "Dad, isn’t it wrong if I don’t go check on my father-in-law after he’s been chopped? Especially when we live so close!"
"It’s that the area he’s hurt in is not appropriate for you to see. If you go, your father-in-law would be utterly embarrassed. I’ll go myself; you and your mom stay put. I’ll check at the nearby hospital." He handed her the groceries and then left.
Sun Chan didn’t immediately understand, but then she realized what he meant by the inappropriate area, and her face flushed red. What a situation! At this age, and she attacked that area?
