A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Gui'er turned around and asked Sha Yanyao, "Brother, how is the situation? Is mother okay?"

Sha Yanyao said, "The doctor said that my mother is old and she was hit on the head, so he suggested that she stay in the hospital for observation before returning."

Gui'er said to him, "Then I will stay here to take care of mother, and you go back to accompany your sister-in-law."

Sha Yanyao refused to leave. His wife held her forehead with one hand and frowned as she said to him, "Your sister is right. Your wife is so delicate and reserved. If no one is in the room, she'll say we're neglecting her."

Sha Yanyao then walked away, looking back every few steps.

Gui'er sat next to her, accompanying the lady. Occasionally, when she needed to be poured water or wiped of sweat, there were usually maids and servants there. After observing for a long time, the doctor finally said that she could go home.

When I returned to the Sha Mansion, I saw Mr. Tian, ​​Mrs. Tian, ​​and Director Tian already sitting in the hall waiting. Mrs. Tian looked a little uneasy, and I'm afraid she already knew the whole story.

They were stunned when they saw the tape on the lady's forehead. They quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Mother-in-law, oh, I'm so sorry. I just heard that our Xiuwen accidentally hit you. How are you? Are you seriously hurt?"

The lady's face was dark, her brows were furrowed, and she looked like she was in pain, but she said nothing.

Sha Yanyao had no choice but to say, "Mother suffered a minor skin injury. The doctor said she needed to be observed, so she was kept in the hospital for a while. It seems she's fine now."

Mrs. Tian breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, shook the lady's hand, and said, "Oh, that's not bad. I was just worried that something might happen to you, mother-in-law. How would we feel then?" Then she helped the lady sit down on the sofa, and pointed to the large and small packages on the sofa. She said, "We brought some nutritional supplements, bird's nest, deer antler, and donkey-hide gelatin, all of which can replenish blood and qi. Mother-in-law, please stew some and eat more to replenish your blood and qi."

"Oh. I'm old, so it doesn't matter anyway. Let's give these things to my daughter-in-law. She just gave birth to a baby." The lady said weakly while holding her forehead.

Gui'er didn't know whether she was really in pain or pretending to be in pain. Anyway, it wasn't that serious before she entered the door.

Director Tian cleared his throat and said, "Xiu Wen did this a bit too much. How could she hurt her mother-in-law? But this matter also had its reasons. This woman named Jin Bao actually dared to buy a chayote as a gift. It seems she is really audacious. She doesn't take our Tian family seriously at all. If I were here, I would kill her on the spot."

Sha Yanyao and his wife were stunned. These were words spoken by a spy chief, which were different from a joke or two told to ordinary people, because Director Tian really had this ability.

The lady quickly smiled and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. I believe Xiuwen didn't do it on purpose. Can we just let it go?"

Mrs. Tian smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is really magnanimous, but I think we still need to deal with Jinbao. Yanyao works for the government. Originally, he couldn't take a concubine because our Xiuwen was in poor health. Now she has worked hard to give birth to more children for your Sha family. So what's the point of keeping this mother and son there? Just send them away."

After hearing this, Sha Yanyao and his wife looked unhappy, but it was not easy to refute Director Tian in front of him, so they simply remained silent.

"Mother-in-law, isn't that right?" Mrs. Tian pressed on.

"Mother-in-law, you are indeed thinking about our family. However, although my eldest son is not a legitimate child, at least my father has seen him. If they suddenly disappear, how can I explain to my father?" Sha Yanyao said.

Mrs. Tian was speechless, but after a few seconds, she said unwillingly, "Well, if we keep them, it's inevitable that something like today will happen again in the future. I think that vixen Jinbao is sincere. You see, she was just staying at your house at the time, and you helped her out of kindness. But she actually climbed into your bed and tried to take over. If we keep this evil source, our family will definitely be in turmoil in the future."

Sha Yanyao was in a very difficult situation, and although he sighed, he refused to give in.

Gui'er also knew that he would never agree. Sha Yanyao only appeared gentle and even a little weak on the outside. In reality, he was a very selfish, meticulous, and ruthless person.

He said sadly, "It's true that I didn't handle this matter with my parents-in-law properly, but when I look at Xiuwen's child, I think of my older child, who's only about a year old. Jinbao is usually a well-behaved child. If I really abandoned them, they would have to live on the streets. These times are turbulent, and if they're not careful, they won't be able to survive. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, so how could I possibly do that?"

As soon as he said this, Mr. Tian and Mrs. Tian looked at each other with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, okay, okay. Nowadays, many high-ranking government officials are secretly raising children outside. Just don't let them and their child enter this door in the future." Director Tian tried to smooth things over.

Seeing that the Tian family was willing to compromise, Madam and Sha Yanyao hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. Xiuwen has helped our Sha family expand, and we will definitely not treat her unfairly."

Mr. and Mrs. Tian reluctantly forced a smile and nodded in agreement.

Gui'er suddenly heard a noise above her head. She looked up and saw that Miss Tian was standing on the second-floor stairs listening. Upon hearing this, she immediately turned around and left.

Then, the two families exchanged some polite words before the Tian family left.

After seeing off the elders of the Tian family, Sha Yanyao hurried upstairs to comfort Miss Tian.

The lady looked at his back and said unhappily, "Look at you, you are so useless." Then she turned around and went back to her room.

Gui'er hurried forward and helped her back to the bedroom together with the old woman.

After entering the bedroom and closing the door, the wife finally breathed a sigh of relief and said indignantly, "I was inexplicably hit on the head by my own daughter-in-law in my own home. If the people of Jiangcheng knew about this, where would I put my face? I am the wife of the Marshal, and now for the sake of my son, I have to endure humiliation to this extent. It's really pathetic."

Her personal nanny quickly comforted her, saying, "Madam, don't overthink it. The young mistress didn't do it on purpose. It was all Jinbao's fault. The young master was also bewitched by him. How about you punish Jinbao and teach her a lesson?"

"What lesson to learn? I think she did a good job of giving me this bitter melon. The Tian family's daughter is usually arrogant. Now she gave birth to a disabled child and insisted on calling him a child prodigy. And judging from her appearance, she probably won't be able to have any more children. She actually wants to drive my eldest grandson away. This family is really cruel. I want Jinbao to give us more healthy children and grandchildren."
