Zhang Yuwan and Mrs. Wu came to the hospital for another checkup, and this time they saw Captain Ma’s weird mother and Captain Ma again.

Captain Ma was arguing with his mother while holding his child. From a distance, he could only hear the noise but couldn't make out anything.

It’s really a narrow road between enemies!

Zhang Yuwan turned his head to see that Mrs. Wu also seemed to be having difficulty hearing. The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Wu calmly pushed the wheelchair towards Captain Ma's house, and stopped at a place where they could hear clearly but not be noticed.

It turned out that Captain Ma's child had just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. One night, Guihua kept complaining of stomach pain and some bleeding in her lower body. Captain Ma's mother said it was just menstruation and it would pass if she endured it.

At first Guihua felt a little uncomfortable, but she could bear it. Later, the pain became more and more severe, and she rolled around on the bed. Captain Ma saw something was wrong and saw a pool of blood under the quilt.

Only then did they realize something was wrong, and they rushed people to the hospital. After a night of emergency treatment, Guihua had an ectopic pregnancy. Although she survived, her uterus had to be removed.

When the old lady who came to deliver the meal heard that Guihua had a miscarriage and would never be able to have children again, she started making a big fuss, cursing the hospital, the doctor, and Guihua, calling her an unlucky star who would make her family childless.

Finally, Captain Ma shouted at the old lady, who was sitting on the ground crying and wailing. A nurse came out and yelled, "If you keep making noise, get out! There are many patients in this hospital. Are you disturbing others?"

"Mom! Stop making trouble! I'm busy with work, and I need you to take care of Guihua and Ni'er recently!" Captain Ma pulled up his mother who was sitting on the ground with one hand, while doing ideological work on her.

His mother refused to give in, "Why should I take care of them both? They can't even give birth to a son and won't be able to do so in the future. How can this bitch like her be worthy of my service? Why is my life so miserable?" After saying that, she started to cry loudly again.

"What if I don't take care of them? If you don't want to, I'll buy you a ticket and you can go back to your hometown. Let my sister-in-law come instead." Captain Ma patiently complained to his mother, who was causing trouble every day.

"I am destined to be a hard worker. I cannot enjoy even a single day of my son's blessing. I come here from dawn to dusk, serving the older and the younger. Now it's useless. My son wants to send me back home!" The old lady cried so hard that Captain Ma's head was about to explode.

"I asked you to help take care of Guihua and Ni'er, why are you crying here?"

"You old lady are so vicious! If you really love your son, how could you make such a fuss? Now both the mother and daughter are in this situation and there is no one to take care of them. Are you going to let your son quit his job and go home?" An aunt next to her couldn't stand it anymore and started to retort.

"That's right. This old lady is obviously a mother-in-law who mistreats her daughter-in-law. She's still cursing at her even though she's dying."

"You're going to grind me to death! You think that in the old society no one cares! Then I'll let you, a damn old woman, eat peanuts!"

"That's right, his son is an officer! Let's report it to the army and see what they do!"

After hearing this, Captain Ma's face turned three parts green and seven parts black. He really wanted to let his mother go back.

However, when Captain Ma's mother heard the crowd attacking her, she immediately said in a gentle voice, "It's not that I don't want to serve them. If someone has problems, they can't say a few words. You are a good person, so come and serve them!"

The crowd stopped making noise.

Zhang Yuwan shook his head from a distance. This old lady was energetic, destructive, and had a histrionic personality.

With this old man around, Captain Ma’s family will never be at peace. It’s really a mess.

After thinking about it, she decided to ask Mrs. Wu to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a can of milk powder, a bag of apples and a bag of brown sugar, and send them to Guihua.

When I entered the ward, only Guihua was lying on the bed. Captain Ma and his mother were not there.

Zhang Yuwan went in and put the things on the bedside table. "Sister Guihua, I just happened to come to the hospital and heard that you were sick, so I came to see you. This is some food I brought you. I hope you get well soon."

Guihua seemed to be drained out of her mind at the head of the bed. She stared at the ceiling with a pale face, ignoring Zhang Yuwan's words. Tears kept flowing from her lifeless eyes.

"Sister Guihua, my words of advice to you now are so feeble and powerless. I don't know how to comfort you. But if you don't cheer up, who will your daughter rely on? Who can she count on?" Zhang Yuwan touched her cold hand, "For your daughter's sake, you can't be so careless about yourself!"

The tears in Guihua's eyes kept falling like beads with broken strings. It seemed that every tear represented the grievances and disappointments she had suffered. She no longer stared blankly at the ceiling, but her emotions were like a flood that had burst a dam. She began to cry loudly, as if she wanted to wash out all the pain in her heart with the torrent.

She sat up in a daze, and Zhang Yuwan and Mrs. Wu quickly supported her and raised the pillow for her to lean on.

Guihua's face finally showed some life, but it was filled with sorrow and despair. She hugged her arms and cried loudly, "Sister, I have lost my child and will never have any in the future. This is more painful than death. There is no meaning in my life anymore. I have lost my child! My child~~~~"

After he finished speaking, his breathing became unstable and he coughed violently a few times. He looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.

Zhang Yuwan felt a pang of sadness as she watched, tears streaming down her face. "Sister Guihua, it's not your fault that you don't have children. Don't people who can't have children in this world deserve to live? That's not the truth! The living should live well."

Zhang Yuwan comforted her with a few words, and Mrs. Wu fed Guihua some water. In order to let Guihua rest more, they did not dare to stay any longer.

Zhang Yuwan comforted her softly, "Sister-in-law Guihua, take good care of yourself first. I'll come see you another day."

Mrs. Wu pushed her wheelchair to the door and ran into Captain Ma who was about to come in. He was surprised to see Zhang Yuwan and Mrs. Wu and greeted them awkwardly, "Sister-in-law."

Zhang Yuwan nodded to Captain Ma and explained, "I came to the hospital for rehabilitation. I saw Sister Guihua was hospitalized, so I came to see her."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Captain Ma gave a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful, thank you!"

Zhang Yuwan didn't have much to say to Captain Ma, so he smiled at him politely and left the inpatient department.

Although she knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, Zhang Yuwan still cried all the way. Mrs. Wu was already very upset by Guihua's pitiful appearance, and she felt helpless when she saw Zhang Yuwan crying like that.

"Look at you, why are you crying non-stop? You're not Osmanthus fragrans. Your Deputy Captain Song treats you like a baby, afraid it would melt if he held it in his mouth, or break if he held it in his hands. I've never seen a man so attentive to his wife." Mrs. Wu consoled him for a few words, then couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, everyone has their own destiny!"

"I just feel bad when I see Sister Guihua feeling sorry for herself." Zhang Yuwan has almost cured her tear incontinence since she got married, but she didn't expect that it would be a little flooded again today.
