If you want a husband, you have to fight for it.

Wan Chuncao pushed the phone to Xu Muyu and smiled gloatingly: "Someone is going to be scolded."

The phone was pushed in front of him, and before Xu Muyu could refuse, someone on the other end picked up the call and called out, "Muyu?"

He was not called "Xiao Xu" nor was he called "Xiao Yu" like Liu Ma and the others did.

Just like the signature on the herbal medicines they sent him, they affectionately called him "Mu Yu".

Why did I feel close to him? Because the other person's tone had changed. It was completely different from the way he treated Wan Chuncao just now. It was the attitude of a true elder.

But this attitude is neither arrogant nor conceited, but rather kind, as kind as a real elder's concern for a younger generation, and as caring as a real parent's concern for his own children.

"Mu Yu ah...did you hear that?"

There was another shout from the other end of the line.

The kind voice made Xu Muyu dazed, but also brought him back to his senses. He picked up the phone in a panic: "I heard it,..."

I don’t know what to call him next.

Calling her "Mom" is impossible, calling her "Auntie" is too unfamiliar, and what else should I call her...

"Call me mother-in-law."

Wan Chuncao chewed a biscuit and flipped through things to tell him.

Xu Muyu looked at her with his phone in hand and saw that she was still flipping through the pages, not seeming to care at all about what they were going to say next.

She ignored them, which made Xu Muyu feel pressured, not to mention that the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be waiting for him to speak first.

"……mother in law."

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Muyu finally spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that it was as difficult to call him that as it was to accept Wan Chuncao calling him husband all the time.

This feeling is... so weird.

"Hey, kid!"

As soon as Xu Muyu called out, the voice of the person on the other end of the phone brightened up: "Are you okay?"

It only lit up for a second, and then it withdrew again in the next second: "You said you didn't want to eat, what's the matter?"

Her tone was completely that of a parent, as if she treated him as a real family member. Xu Muyu still couldn't get used to it, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Nothing... I just don't like it."

"do not like to eat?"

The person on the other end of the phone immediately said, "Why don't you like to eat? Food is for filling your stomach, not for liking. How can there be likes and dislikes? How can your body be healthy if you don't like it?"

"Just tell Guaiguai what you want to eat. Even if she can't cook, she can buy it for you. Just eat it. Will your body feel comfortable without eating? Will your legs feel comfortable? Just tell Guaiguai what you want to eat. How can you not eat anything?"

Xu Muyu hadn't heard such talk for a long time, and was a little dazed for a moment, but he still said: "It's okay... I'm fine too."

"What do you mean it's okay? How can not eating help? Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. How can the body function without eating? You are young now, so you torture yourself."

The person on the other end of the phone was unhappy that Xu Muyu treated his body like this. She asked, "Have you seen the medicine we sent you?"

How could you not see the herbs spread all over the ground? Xu Muyu hummed, "Yeah, I saw it."

"Some of them were bought from our relatives in the village, and the rest were collected by your father-in-law in the mountains. We asked the old doctor in the village to prepare the herbs for you. Remember to take them. Your father-in-law has written down the effects and how to take them."

The person on the other end of the phone told Xu Muyu: "For some medicines, you can cook them with some ingredients, such as chicken soup or old duck soup. Eating them with meals can also replenish your body."

"You are still young, how can you not take good care of your body?"

She stressed: "Don't worry, we have taken those medicines ourselves, and we sent them to you only after we had finished taking them. They are not poisonous."

Xu Muyu quickly denied: "That's not what I meant. I..."

"Don't worry, we have selected the medicines for you one by one. They are all carefully selected. Just take them with peace of mind. Take the medicine and eat well, and you will get better soon. By the way, does your leg still hurt?"

They naturally knew about his legs. Wan Chuncao must have said so. Xu Muyu looked at his legs and said, "Not bad."

"It's okay. We found you a few bottles of medicinal wine. You can rub it on your calf and see if it feels better."

The person on the other end of the phone had no ill intentions at all, and just told Xu Muyu kindly: "Your legs have been like that for a long time, and you have suffered a lot. You are still young and have suffered so much. Life is so difficult. It is inevitable to be sad if you have been alone like this. You are fine, don't be sad. If you have any problems, just look for Guaiguai. Isn't she here?"

They knew how his leg was and what kind of situation his leg had put his life in, but like Wan Chuncao, they did not avoid his situation.

They neither showed excessive sympathy nor showed greater rejection of his leg, they just thought it was a physical injury.

If it is an injury, you should take good care of it.

"Mu Yu, remember to eat well and rest on time. Don't take advantage of your youth and ignore your body. Your legs can't stand all the tossing and turning you know. You have to eat, and you have to be optimistic and relax your mentality. Eat well and sleep well, then you will live a good life."

The voice on the other end became as gentle as it had been to Wan Chuncao just now: "Take good care of yourself and eat on time. Do you hear me?"

Wan Chuncao beside her was still taking things out of the box. She was immersed in her world of taking things and didn't care at all what they were saying on the phone.

Only Xu Muyu could hear what was said on the phone, and only he could hear it.

It was as if these words were only told to him and belonged to him alone.

Xu Muyu held the phone, was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Yeah."

After hearing Xu Muyu's answer, the person on the other end of the phone smiled with relief: "That's right."

The corners of Xu Muyu's mouth moved. I don't know if he laughed or not, but the burden in his heart was not so heavy anymore.

After laughing, it’s time to get down to business: “By the way, what’s going on between you and Guaiguai?”

Speaking of Wanchuncao, Xu Muyu's mood, which had just relaxed, became tense again.

"You two haven't been able to talk properly yet? You're already husband and wife, why are you still so strange?"

The person on the other end of the phone was really questioning, not taking sides at all, just reasoning: "Since you are husband and wife, you should help each other, get along well, and live your life well. Why are you two still so strange?"

"Don't blame me for talking to our good girl. Our good girl is really a good child. She does everything well. She is gentle and considerate. She always thinks about others. She is so innocent, so kind, and so good. She is really a good child."

Xu Muyu listened to these words while looking at Wan Chuncao who was flipping through things carelessly.

Is she gentle and considerate? Innocent?

In her mother's eyes, her child is not without flaws. Wan Chuncao kept nodding beside her, approving what her mother said on the phone: "My mother is right."

"Mu Yu, son-in-law, I know you are a good kid, you are all good kids, but you can't be so indifferent all the time."

The person on the other end of the phone said again: "Don't you want your children anymore?"
