After dinner, the third child drove Qiao Liang home first, and then sent Fang Xiaoya back to the group.
Qiao Liang returned home, but Zhang Mei hadn't come back yet.
Qiao Liang walked into the bedroom and wandered around, looking at the large wedding photo of Zhang Mei and Zhang Mei on the bedside, and imagining the scene of the adulterer fooling around under the wedding photo. He was so filled with hatred that he clenched his fists.
Ma, this couple cheated on themselves, and when they are caught, they must divorce Zhang Mei, and teach the adulterer a lesson.
Qiao Liang went into the guest room to sleep. It was hard these days in the mountains and he needed to take a good rest.
I was sleeping soundly when my cell phone rang quickly.
Qiao Liang touched the phone and saw the call: Father-in-law.
It was a call from Zhang Mei's father.
"Dad..." Qiao Liang answered the phone.
"Liang Zi, it's not good. Your mother accidentally slipped and fell when she went to the bathroom. Now she is lying in the bathroom. I can't move it alone..." The anxious voice of my father-in-law came from the phone.
My mother-in-law is very fat and heavy, so naturally my father-in-law cannot lift her.
Qiao Liang hurriedly got out of bed and put on her shoes: "Dad, don't worry, I'll be there right away."
"Okay, come here quickly. This girl Meizi can't get through on the phone, and she doesn't know why she's gone." Father-in-law hung up the phone.
Qiao Liang got dressed and hurried downstairs, took a taxi and went straight to her father-in-law's house.
Although Zhang Mei is not nice to him, his father-in-law and mother-in-law like him very much. As a son, every time he goes to his father-in-law's house, his mother-in-law is busy cooking Qiao Liang's favorite meals, while his father-in-law happily entertains him with good wine.
.
On the way, Qiao Liang called Zhang Mei and turned off the phone.
Damn, where did this vixen go? Why did he turn off his phone?
Qiao Liang thought for a while and then dialed Chu Heng's home. Zhang Mei often went to Chu Heng's home on weekends and might be there.
Yes, Ji Hong, answer the phone.
"Sister Hong, is Zhang Mei at your house?"
"She's not here. Didn't you call her cell phone?"
"The phone is turned off and I'm not at home."
"Oh, maybe I went somewhere to play, and my phone ran out of battery."
"Brother Chu is at home?"
"No, he was picked up by our group's car early in the morning and went to Beida Mountain Resort to attend some cultural symposium."
Only then did Qiao Liang remember the call from Tang Chao that Chu Heng had received last night.
"That's okay, I'm sorry to bother Sister Hong."
"Why are you being so polite? Can't you find Zhang Mei? No one will cook for you tonight? Haha, why don't you come to my house to eat? I'll stew turtle soup to replenish your health."
Qiao Liang felt warm in her heart. She is such a considerate woman. It would be great if Zhang Mei treated her even one percent of the way Ji Hong did.
"Thank you, Sister Hong. No, I have something else to do tonight." Qiao Liang thanked her and hung up the phone.
Soon after arriving at his father-in-law's house, Qiao Liang asked the renter to wait downstairs and hurried upstairs. As soon as he entered the door, his mother-in-law was lying on the bathroom floor moaning in pain, while his father-in-law was beside him anxiously and helpless.
Qiao Liang hurriedly carried her mother-in-law on her back and went downstairs with her father-in-law. Panting, she got into a taxi and went straight to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Qiao Liang carried her mother-in-law on her back and went straight to the outpatient clinic. After the doctor checked her, he asked her to take a picture. Qiao Liang then carried her mother-in-law on her back to the imaging building...
After struggling for a long time, Qiao Liang was so exhausted that the final result came out: her calf was fractured and she had to be hospitalized.
Qiao Liang then went to go through hospitalization procedures and pay a deposit. His father-in-law grabbed him and handed him a bank card. Qiao Liang didn't want it, so his father-in-law forced it on him.
"You two live on wages, so you can't spend your money. Your mother's and mine's pensions are all in there, so use them to pay the deposit."
Qiao Liang felt warm in her heart, took the bank card, paid the deposit, and completed the hospitalization procedures.
That night, Qiao Liang stayed with her mother-in-law in the ward. Her father-in-law was old and in poor health, so she asked him to go home and rest.
When she felt sleepy in the middle of the night, Qiao Liang lay down in front of her mother-in-law's hospital bed and dozed off for a while, observing her mother-in-law's condition at all times.
At twilight, Qiao Liang called Zhang Mei's cell phone again, but it was still turned off. She called her home landline, but no one answered.
Apparently, Zhang Mei didn't come back all night and went to hang out somewhere.
Qiao Liang was not angry at this moment, but was filled with great sadness.
It was daybreak, and my father-in-law came and brought breakfast.
Qiao Liang served her mother-in-law after breakfast, and the nurse came over to inform her about preparations for the operation.
After the operation, my mother-in-law was lying on the bed. The injured calf was covered with a protective plate and could not be moved. Qiao Liang was taking care of her mother-in-law's bedside.
Seeing how thoughtful Qiao Liang was, everyone in the ward praised Qiao Liang for being filial and envious of his father-in-law and mother-in-law for having a good son. The father-in-law and mother-in-law were so happy that he said he was their son-in-law, and everyone became even more envious upon hearing this.
Listening to everyone's praise, Qiao Liang sighed in his heart, feeling very sad.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law regard him as a son, but the wife does not regard her as a husband and cuckolds herself.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law felt sorry for Qiao Liang because he was too tired and asked him to go home and take a nap. Qiao Liang was worried, so he lay down and took a nap on the hospital bed that had just been vacated after being discharged from the hospital.
As night fell, Qiao Liang asked his father-in-law to go home and rest while he continued to accompany his mother-in-law in the ward.
In the middle of the night, Qiao Liang woke up and called Zhang Mei's cell phone again, but it was still turned off. She called her home landline, but no one answered.
Qiao Liang came to the end of the corridor and stretched his muscles. He looked at the quiet night sky outside the window, thinking about his failed marriage, and felt very depressed.
At dawn, his father-in-law came to deliver breakfast. Zhang Mei finally called, calling her father-in-law.
"Stinky girl, where have you been these two days? I can't get through the phone. Your mother was injured in a fall and is in the hospital..." My father-in-law scolded angrily.
Zhang Mei rushed to the hospital quickly. When she entered the ward, Qiao Liang was serving her mother-in-law to eat.
"Mom, how are you?" Zhang Mei lay panting in front of the hospital bed, her face full of worry.
The mother-in-law sighed: "Damn girl, you only know how to play. Fortunately, mom only broke her leg. If she got an emergency, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see mom."
"Yes, fortunately Liangzi came and sent your mother to the hospital in time. Fortunately, Liangzi took good care of your mother these two days." Father-in-law also said beside him.
Zhang Mei looked ashamed, glanced at Qiao Liang, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Qiao Liang gave Zhang Mei a cold look and said nothing.
After her mother-in-law finished eating, Zhang Mei wanted to call her work to ask for leave. Her father-in-law disagreed and said that work should not be delayed because of this matter. He asked Qiao Liang and Zhang Mei to go to work, and he could just take care of her mother-in-law during the day.
Qiao Liang originally wanted to call Ye Xinyi to ask for leave, but she felt that it would be inappropriate to ask for leave as soon as she arrived at the new unit. Moreover, her mother-in-law had already completed the operation and there was no heavy work. She could just have her father-in-law watch the infusion during the day.
"Dad, I will take over your care tonight."
Father-in-law nodded: "You should hurry up and go to work. I am here, so you can rest assured."
Qiao Liang and Zhang Mei left the ward. Qiao Liang went downstairs without saying a word, and Zhang Mei followed closely behind.
Arriving at the entrance of the hospital, Qiao Liang was about to call for a taxi when Zhang Mei called out: "Qiao Liang."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Liang said coldly without turning around.
"Thank you." Zhang Mei's voice was a little weak.
"Thank you, I'm not taking care of your mother for your sake." Qiao Liang's voice continued to be cold.
"I know you must be angry because I haven't been home these two days. In fact, I didn't do anything, just..." Zhang Mei hesitated.
