Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

It was a long time before the Song couple returned to the ward.

Wu Xiaojun and his mother Li Jingui have disappeared.

As Song Meili listened to her mother's continuous low curses, she silently pulled the blanket up to cover her bloodshot eyes.

"Why are you so weak-willed? You're being bullied to the point of being humiliated, and all you do is cry. You can't stand up for yourself at all. No wonder everyone wants to bully you!"

Chen Guizhi cursed and swore for a while, but seeing that her daughter was like a wooden doll with no reaction, she reached out her finger and poked her daughter's head hard twice in frustration.

Chen Guizhi said disappointedly, "You weren't like this before. The older you get, the less ambitious you become, almost like a mute. How did your temper become like this?"

Song Meili endured the pain in her head, her eyes vacant.

Yes, how did she become like this?

She used to be very lively and cheerful.

In her end-of-term message to her, the teacher described her with words like cheerful, bright, and positive.

When exactly did it become like this?

Chen Guizhi muttered to herself for a while before stopping at Gu Qingsong's light cough. Then she remembered to ask her daughter if she had eaten.

Song Meili's eyes were vacant, and she showed no reaction.

Upon seeing this, Chen Guizhi's anger flared up again.

I just kept quiet because I wasn't at home and it was getting late, and I didn't want to bother others too much.

Although she managed to hold back her anger, Chen Guizhi still leaned weakly against the bedside, stroking her chest and sighing repeatedly.

Normally, even if Song Meili wasn't feeling well, she would still get up to comfort her mother.

But today, she simply didn't have the energy.

With her husband's comfort, Chen Guizhi straightened up and glared fiercely at her daughter on the hospital bed.

He finally stood up and poured Song Meili a bowl of brown sugar water.

"Here, drink up."

Song Meili barely managed to prop herself up, her body aching and weak, her hands trembling as she picked up the teacup.

Chen Guizhi held back for a moment, but couldn't help complaining, "I went to great lengths to get this, and you didn't even know to keep a close eye on it, letting that old hag drink so much!"

Song Meili didn't say anything, but took small sips of brown sugar water.

Chen Guizhi sat down on the edge of the bed and sighed, "Don't blame your mother for nagging, it's just that your in-laws are really outrageous."

“Your husband’s job was arranged by your father and me. There was only one job available back then, but we didn’t let you take it. Instead, we let your husband go to work. Our family has been good enough to him.”

Song Meili paused in her drinking, a wave of bittersweet emotion washing over her.

That job was originally hers. If she hadn't gotten married, she could have gone to work, earned her own money, and spent it as she pleased. How wonderful that would have been!

But she was already married at the time, and her parents advised her that a woman should still prioritize her husband after marriage, as he is the head of the family.

In an attempt to please her son-in-law, she was forced to "voluntarily" transfer her job to Wu Xiaojun when she was pregnant with her first child.

Chen Guizhi didn't care what her daughter was thinking and continued, "I originally wanted to bring you food, but Wu Xiaojun hasn't contributed any household expenses since he started working."

"I was thinking, since you've had the baby, I should give him a little push and make him take on more responsibility for supporting the family. After all, his wife has given birth, so he should at least spend some money to buy her food, right?"

"I never expected him to do something like this. If I don't bring you food, you'll really go hungry."
