Xiao Tianai is recuperating quietly in the sanatorium. What she has to do now is to take good care of her body. In a month, she will face the biggest operation in her life.
The sanatorium is located on the outskirts of the capital, surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, and the air is much better than in the urban area.
But being here alone will inevitably lead to boredom and loneliness.
After not coming back for so many years, the scenery, shape, and people of my hometown have all changed. My former lover has a new destination, my former friends have long been estranged, and my former relatives now regard her as a snake or a scorpion.
Jiang Zhizhong and Lin Caiyin used to treat her as their daughter.
"I can come forward and ask Dr. Liu to perform this operation for you, but I have one condition," Jiang Zhizhong said that day. "After the operation, leave Jiang Hao, leave China, and never come back. Never come to harass Jiang Hao."
.”
This person she once called "Uncle Jiang" so affectionately made this request to her with such a disgusted expression and such a cold tone. He didn't want her to stay here. This was the hometown where she was born and raised!
She hated them for not recognizing their relatives, hated them for fighting each other, and hated them for trying to kill them all. She didn't understand why the two elders still refused to let go of what happened back then after so many years. She had saved their son's life.
In the courtyard, she sat quietly under the shade of a tree. She was used to looking at the same scenery every day, and was also used to the occasional pity looks cast at her by others.
Sitting next to her was a woman who was also resting. There were occasionally a few strands of silver threads interspersed in her black hair. Her eyes were full of vicissitudes of life. It was hard to tell how old she was, not more than sixty, but her demeanor and spirit were like that of an old man.
Wearing hospital clothes, he is a patient in this sanatorium.
When the old woman saw her looking at her, she took the initiative and asked: "Girl, your legs..."
Xiao Tianai pursed her lips and smiled, and answered naturally, "You were hit by a car and have been disabled for more than five years. How should I call you?"
"Everyone calls me Aunt Xue," Aunt Xue said with regret, "Oh, poor child, you are like this at such a young age, so why are you hospitalized now?"
"I have some consciousness recently and may be able to stand up for surgery, but my body is too weak and it will take some time to adjust before surgery can be performed."
"Well, that's great. Nowadays, with the advanced medical technology, anything impossible is possible. Girl, the operation will definitely be successful."
Xiao Tianai smiled and said confidently: "Haha, I think so too, I will definitely stand up again... Aunt Xue, what about you?"
Aunt Xue looked at the boundless sky with her vicissitudes of life, "Oh, I'm afraid I will die of old age here." She pointed to the door. Opposite the nursing home is the nursing home.
"how?"
Aunt Xue shed tears before she could say anything, "My son married a lunatic and couldn't get away from him. Originally, I wanted to enjoy my old age in my hometown, but my health was not good enough and my son was working here, so I took him in."
I came here, but he is busy with work and cannot take care of me all the time."
Aunt Xue couldn't stop pouring her bitterness, "My son is filial and has studied diligently since he was a child. He originally had a very good girlfriend who was about to get married, but then he provoked her for some reason.
A lunatic, oh, I have scolded him countless times, he deserves it!"
"That madman, I have a headache just thinking about it now. I told my son that as long as you divorce, mom will support you. Even if you give her the house, you have to divorce her. Only after divorce can you start over. Alas, my son's former girlfriend
, How wonderful, he won’t hurt other people’s hearts even if he is good, alas..."
Aunt Xue ended her complaint with a sigh. Xiao Tianai patted her hand and comforted her: "Aunt Xue, don't worry, people will not always be unhappy, they will always get better."
"Hey, listening to you, I can only think about the good things."
Just as he was talking, a little nurse suddenly ran over and said, "Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue, someone came to see you and is looking for you."
Aunt Xue asked doubtfully: "Who is it?" Except for my son, no one in the capital knew that I was hospitalized. Could it be a relative from my hometown? No, I never said this, who is it?
The little nurse helped her up and said, "I said she was your daughter-in-law. She asked about your condition and said she would take you home if you can be discharged."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her blood pressure suddenly soared. She was so dizzy that she could hardly stand still.
"Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue..."
Aunt Xue sat on the flower bed, held the nurse's hand and said, "Send her away quickly. Just say that I am no longer here. Don't let her find me. Please."
"Why, Aunt Xue?" The nurse was also at a loss. In the more than half a month since Aunt Xue came, only her son had come once, and there was no other relative. They all saw the old man's loneliness.
Aunt Xue shook her head, frowned, and her breathing became rapid, "Send her away quickly, quickly..."
Xiao Tianai was unable to move and could not help, but she probably knew what Aunt Xue meant and said quickly: "Nurse, Aunt Xue's daughter-in-law is here to cause trouble. Aunt Xue lives in a nursing home to recuperate in order to avoid her.
Please, just do as Aunt Xue wants."
Aunt Xue nodded gratefully. This is exactly what she wanted to say.
The little nurse saw Aunt Xue nodding and understood, "Okay, I understand."
Aunt Xue was sitting, her expression not very good, her calm heart suddenly became unstable, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, "How did she know that I am here? How did she know? How on earth can this crazy woman let go?"
Live with us two..."
Xiao Tianai comforted her and said, "Aunt Xue, don't worry, your health is important."
Perhaps her daily life was too monotonous and boring. She suddenly wanted to meet this crazy daughter-in-law that Aunt Xue said. What kind of person could force an old man to dare not even meet her?!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise behind me. When I looked back, I saw several security guards pulling a young woman who was jumping angrily. The young woman held on to the doorknob and refused to leave, shouting: "Mom."
, I am Rong Xuan, don’t you even recognize me? Mom, I am here to take you home, and I will definitely be filial to you in the future, Mom..."
Sun Rongxuan shouted intermittently. She reached out and pulled the doorknob, revealing the gauze still wrapped around her wrist. No one dared to use force on her.
Aunt Xue also heard the sound. She ignored her dizziness and stood up in a panic to leave.
But when she stopped, Sun Rongxuan happened to see her, "Mom, Mom..." Sun Rongxuan broke away from everyone and ran towards the flower bed.
The scene was chaotic. People were hiding, running, and chasing.
"Mom," Sun Rongxuan ran to Aunt Xue, knelt down on her knees, and kowtowed violently, "Mom, I was wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
Everyone looked at each other, Aunt Xue was completely at a loss.
Xiao Tianai watched with cold eyes, there are really all kinds of weird things in this world.
Sun Rongxuan knelt, raised her head, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mom, I will never quarrel with Xiaohai anymore. From now on, whatever he says will be whatever he says. Can you please help me persuade him? I will treat you as filial to you as my own mother from now on."
, I will never contradict you...Mom, please, I don’t want a divorce, I love Xiaohai, he is my life, if he doesn’t want me, I would rather die.”
Aunt Xue said helplessly: "This is a matter between the two of you. You can discuss and resolve it yourself, okay?"
Sun Rongxuan shook her head, "But Xiaohai ignored me. He didn't even want to tell me where he lived or where he worked. He didn't answer my calls. I couldn't find him to talk to... Mom, I really figured it out.
I won’t make trouble with him anymore. Can you help me talk to him? He listens to you the most, Mom."
Sun Rongxuan cried and begged, and knelt forward, reaching out and grabbing the corner of Aunt Xue's clothes, "Mom, I beg you, please give me a chance, I will be fine."
The weather is nice today, there are many patients sunbathing in the courtyard, and the sanatorium is quiet. Her cries and shouts almost alarmed the entire sanatorium, not only the people in the courtyard, but also the people in the ward building.
Open the window and stick your head out to see what's going on.
Sun Rongxuan is like this, she always doesn't care about other people's feelings regardless of the occasion, but she doesn't know it herself.
Aunt Xue was really afraid of her, "Don't come and beg me. It's useless to beg me. You two will live your life together. Xiaohai is determined not to live with you, and I can't persuade her."
"Then try it. How do you know it's useless if you don't try it? Mom, I will kneel down and kowtow to you. I just ask you to help me and let Xiaohai give me a chance. I know I was wrong."
Aunt Xue was about to leave, but as soon as she stood up, her head felt dizzy. She sighed and said: "Nature is easy to change but hard to change. If you really knew where you were wrong, you wouldn't come here to make trouble now. Xiaohai just can't stand it."
Do you understand this?...Go back and don't bother me, I'm just a person with one foot in the coffin."
Seeing that she refused, Sun Rongxuan stood up suddenly. She wiped her face with her hands, her eyes became sharp and fierce, "I would rather tear down a temple than a marriage. Xiaohai and I have come this far. You
There are also responsibilities that cannot be shied away from. Do you want to get rid of me? There is no way!"
This is the real her, this is her true face.
As she said that, Sun Rongxuan lifted up her sleeves, revealing the gauze on her wrist. She began to untie the gauze with her other hand. She took off the gauze that was wrapping the wound in two circles. There was a long, thin opening inside.
"What do you want to do?" Aunt Xue became even more panicked and asked the security guards and nurses behind for help, "She wants to commit suicide, she wants to commit suicide."
"Don't come over!" Sun Rongxuan shouted, "Mom, I'm not thinking about myself, I just want to explain one thing. If Xiaohai insists on getting divorced, I will never live in this world. Just treat me as pitiful, okay?
I beg you."
She stamped her feet, digging her nails deeply into the wound on her wrist, and blood flowed out again, slowly flowing down her thin arm.
The people nearby began to persuade them to let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have something to say. Especially towards Sun Rongxuan, everyone was tolerant and sympathetic.
Xiao Tianai sincerely admires this girl named Sun Rongxuan. What kind of man is she and what kind of feelings does she have? She doesn't even have the most basic self-esteem and pride of a woman?!
