On the way back, Father Shen was thinking about this little girl Ruan Qingyue, and in the end he only came up with one reason.
She is repaying the favor, and she is repaying the favor in her own way.
In the hospital, Ruan Qingyue opened her eyes. Although she was still dizzy, her mind was much clearer.
"Auntie, am I in the hospital?"
Ruan Qingyue looked around her surroundings and started to push herself up, but she didn't have much strength.
"Yes, you girl, why have you put yourself in such a state? If you catch a small cold, you will be too sick to get out of bed. You are not allowed to carry goods by yourself in the future. Find a truck to pull you back. If it doesn't work, just call me. I'll help you."
Seeing that Ruan Qingyue had woken up, Mother Shen finally let go of her worries and scolded her as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Stop scolding me, I'm already sick."
Ruan Qingyue knew in her heart that she felt sorry for him, and it was because of her presence that he could wake up now and couldn't help but act coquettishly with her.
"When I scold you, you have to remember it, otherwise you will suffer in the future."
Mother Shen looked at Ruan Qingyue's cute look and couldn't bear to say any more.
"I know! I didn't think anything of it. I didn't expect it to end up like this."
Ruan Qingyue pouted, feeling even more speechless.
I thought it would be better if I slept last night, but I almost didn't wake up after falling asleep.
"If you are not careful at ordinary times, this will come to you. The most important thing for a woman is to love herself."
After saying this, Mother Shen poured a glass of water for her, took out the medicine and handed it over according to the doctor's instructions.
"Thank you, auntie. If it weren't for you, I might have died of illness at home."
Ruan Qingyue's gratitude was sincere. No matter how many things she had been embarrassed about before, none of them mattered now.
"Bah, bah, bah, what did you say? Your uncle has gone home to make porridge for you. He will bring it over in a while. You should lie down and rest."
Although Mother Shen didn't have nice words to say, she took care of the patients with great care. Ruan Qingyue had been in bed for more than an hour, and she already felt that her energy had almost recovered and she could jump to the ground.
After a while, Father Shen and Shen Chaochen came to the hospital carrying porridge and side dishes.
"Cuixiang, how are you?"
After entering the room, Shen Chaochen saw Ruan Qingyue half lying on the bed, her face slightly pale, and felt anxious. The expression on her face and the panic and concern in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
Mother Shen saw her son Ruan Qingyue being so nervous, and the anger in her heart began to rise again.
"What's the matter? What can I do? I have a cold and a fever. Is it still worth your while to come here? You are the same. He is still studying! Why did you bring him here?"
Shen's mother glanced at Ruan Qingyue unhappily, but she was a patient now and could not easily get angry, so she directed her anger toward Shen's father.
"Mom, I went home to get materials for department transfer, and my dad was making porridge."
Shen Chaochen saw the displeasure in his mother's eyes and realized that he had lost his composure just now.
"How's your department transfer going? Do you have any clues?"
As soon as Shen's mother heard about the transfer, she immediately forgot about Ruan Qingyue's affairs and hurriedly approached Shen Chaochen.
"It has been decided. I have prepared the materials in the past few days and can report to the law school next Monday."
Shen Chaochen smiled and glanced at Ruan Qingyue with gratitude in his eyes.
Father Shen watched the mother and son leave Ruan Qingyue aside, feeling a little helpless and sent the prepared hot porridge and side dishes to Ruan Qingyue.
"Ignore them and eat something quickly."
As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of millet porridge instantly aroused Ruan Qingyue's appetite, and the stir-fried side dishes were also fragrant, whetting one's appetite.
Ruan Qingyue drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and felt warm all over.
Shen Chaochen accompanied his mother to talk about the change of department, and while peeking at Ruan Qingyue, he saw that she had eaten and seemed to have a good appetite, which finally made her feel relieved.
"What are you looking at! Did you hear what I said to you?"
Mother Shen felt more and more uncomfortable when she saw Shen Chaochen always glancing at Ruan Qingyue.
"I heard it, Mom, don't worry! Cuixiang is handling things well at school, and the dean and tutor of the law school also welcome me. It's just that I need to make up for the courses I haven't participated in during this time."
There was almost no pressure on Shen Chaochen about his schoolwork. He was very happy to be able to transfer to another department as he wished.
"Okay, don't worry about anything at home during this period. You have to make up for the missed lessons and don't let up."
As soon as she talked about schoolwork, Shen's mother immediately became serious.
"Don't worry! I still have to send my materials to school. If Cuixiang has nothing to do, I'll leave."
Shen Chaochen knew in his heart that if he stayed here like this all the time, it would only make his mother's attitude toward Ruan Qingyue even worse, so he found an excuse to leave.
Mother Shen nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as Shen Chaochen left the ward, Shen's mother walked up to Ruan Qingyue and looked at Ruan Qingyue sternly.
"Let me tell you, don't think about marrying into our family. Our family will not marry a daughter-in-law like you. You'd better be self-aware and don't..."
Before Shen's mother could finish her words, she was enveloped by Father Shen's serious gaze, and she had to swallow her unfinished words.
"What are you talking about? Is this what you should say to a girl's family? When you say this to an innocent girl, others think it's something wrong with her. What's so great about your son? What’s so great about college students?”
Father Shen was inexplicably angry. Mother Shen looked at Father Shen's angry eyes and shut her mouth obediently, not saying another word.
Ruan Qingyue was holding the unfinished porridge, and for a moment she didn't know what to do. Only the bowl of porridge was still awkwardly steaming.
"Uncle, you probably don't know what happened before! Auntie is not to blame for this. Brother Chen saved my life when he went to the countryside. My mother pestered me so much that she wanted Brother Chen to marry me. I didn't dare to resist my mother at home, so I could only let her make troubles, extort money from my aunt, and even made my aunt faint with anger. This is all my fault."
Ruan Qingyue made this matter clear, on the one hand to excuse Shen's mother, and on the other hand to explain her position clearly so that Shen's mother could rest assured.
After hearing these words, Mother Shen looked at Ruan Qingyue with a little doubt in her eyes.
Father Shen did not soften his expression because of this.
"You are sick, take a good rest, I know all these things, don't think too much about it."
Father Shen took a deep breath, took a deep look at Mother Shen, stood up and went out.
Mother Shen walked out with a tacit understanding. Ruan Qingyue continued to drink porridge, looking at the backs of the two people, she felt funny in her heart.
I originally thought that Shen's mother was the head of the family, but I didn't expect that Shen's father was the one who truly dominated everything in the family.
