Chapter 428: Chapter 428

Wang Guihua was startled, the vegetable stalks in her hand flew, and she hurriedly said, "There’s nothing wrong."

"You’re still lying? I’m going to ask Gu Juntao." He said as he went to make the call.

Wang Guihua quickly grabbed him: "Jun Tao is not home, don’t call."

"Where did he go so late at night?"

"It’s just that Nannan fell ill."

"What’s really going on?" Gu Zishan widened his eyes: "Is it your doing?"

Gu Zishan, a veteran of the battlefield, spoke with a hint of menace. Wang Guihua shivered at her husband’s gaze and quickly confessed.

"I didn’t mean to, whoever thought those things would fall and scare her like that."

Gu Zishan sneered: "So, you’re saying it’s all my granddaughter’s fault! You’re not at fault at all."

"That’s not what I meant, the way you’re saying it." She said awkwardly, "Who would have thought such a thing would happen, I didn’t expect the child to get a fever!"

"So you’re adamant about not taking responsibility? Arguing with your son on the phone so self-righteously?"

"I didn’t, I just..."

"You’re just afraid of being blamed by your son, worried that you won’t be able to handle your daughter-in-law in the future?" Gu Zishan snorted coldly, stood up to get his wallet: "Why are you still standing there, hurry to the hospital, see Nannan!"

Wang Guihua didn’t want to go a hundred times over, but Gu Zishan was like a fierce lion, she couldn’t refuse and had to follow. On the way, she pondered how to minimize the impact of this incident, whether to keep denying or to acknowledge her mistake.

If she didn’t admit it, would she be in trouble? But if she admitted it, would she be scolded by her daughter-in-law?

But the things she worried about didn’t happen. When they arrived, the couple was already holding the child, ready to go home.

Seeing them, Gu Juntao hurriedly greeted: "Dad, Mom, you’re here?"

"Yes, we came to see the child." Gu Zishan walked over, looked with concern, the child seemed better, but her little face was still a bit red, her eyes tightly closed, looking very uncomfortable.

Gu Zishan was still very fond of this child. Immediately, he picked her up to take a good look.

"Still need an injection?"

"Yes, the doctor said it needs three days of injections."

"Three days." Gu Zishan sighed: "How about I accompany her then? You shouldn’t be too tired either."

"Thanks, Dad, let’s go back."

"Alright, we drove here, we’ll take you back."

They didn’t speak to Wang Guihua at all, and naturally didn’t mention why the child got frightened. But Wang Guihua’s dignity was completely gone, she seemed lesser in front of her daughter-in-law, all the way keeping her head down.

Gu Zishan and Wang Guihua went to their son’s place, looked at the child again, and left two hundred yuan before leaving.

Before leaving, Wang Guihua said: "This is my fault, after hanging up, I realized that I might have dropped something on the ground, most likely that’s how the child got scared. It’s my carelessness."

Gu Juntao said: "No worries, I called just to inquire, since the doctor said the child was frightened. Always need to confirm. Now the child is fine, don’t worry."

Wang Guihua breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Gu Zishan, he gave his wife a harsh look.

Yang Hongying kept her head down without speaking, thinking about when her daughter had the needle in the hospital, her little arm pierced, sniffing from the pain, her throat going hoarse, was really pitiful. Saying she doesn’t resent Wang Guihua would be false, but she is still her mother-in-law, can’t say much.

Saying goodbye to her mother-in-law, she kept looking at the floor, not speaking, feeling aggrieved.

Wang Guihua also drooped her eyelids, didn’t speak, just followed her husband, naturally being cursed quite badly the whole way.

"You’re just a troublemaker, I realize now, wherever you are, it definitely won’t be good. In the future, don’t casually go to our son’s place! All year round, just disrupting them from living properly!"

"Enough, I don’t want to talk to you, let’s go home." Gu Zishan was truly exhausted! How did he end up marrying such a wife back then, a kind of retribution for divorcing his first wife to avoid criticism years ago.

Both tired and hungry, they just casually ate at home and went to bed.

Wang Guihua lay in the little room, thinking, people say after getting a daughter-in-law, one can enjoy life, but it’s really getting more and more wronged.

And Gu Juntao comforted his wife well: "Don’t be sad, isn’t our daughter better now?"

"I just... I just feel sorry for our daughter." Yang Hongying wiped her tears and said: "She’s not favored by her grandma, when she grows up, knowing these things, would she feel very sad?" Follow current novᴇls on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Gu Juntao hugged his wife tightly: "Why speak of these things? Whether my mom likes or not doesn’t matter, we are the child’s parents! As long as we love her. Nannan is our most cherished daughter. Don’t worry, she will grow up healthy."

Yang Hongying nodded, leaned on her husband’s chest: "Marrying you makes me happy."

"Good to know, so don’t always cry, looking like I’m bullying you."

Gu Juntao pinched her cheek: "I’m starving, won’t you make me something delicious?"

"Got it. I’ll make you some noodles." Yang Hongying hurried to the kitchen to cook.

Gu Juntao sighed sitting in his chair, he was also troubled, knowing his wife was wronged, but what else could he do, argue with his mother alongside his wife? Can only let his wife bear it.

Truly headache-inducing, he never thought his mom would be so unreasonable, getting less sensible with age!

He leaned there troubled, waited till his wife finished the noodles, quickly switched to a smile, took the utensils.

"I’m really starving, let’s eat, then sleep. My wife’s cooking is the best!"

Seeing him gobbling down, Yang Hongying also felt reassured.

That night Gu Juntao only slept a few hours, tomorrow needing to work, can’t stay up too late.

Yang Hongying always slept beside her daughter, never resting well, woke up several times overnight. Luckily, by the next day, the child was much better, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Sent to the hospital, the doctor said no more injections needed, just observe well at home.

Yang Hongying was delighted, but as soon as the child recovered, she fell ill herself, mostly due to stress.

Gu Juntao took care of his wife and looked after the child simultaneously, immensely busy.

Wang Guihua learned this and shed tears of heartache: "My son lived over twenty years, I never let him work too hard, but now every day he’s like a beast of burden, working all day and still needing to do chores, cook, and care for the child. So tiring. This daughter-in-law is truly worrisome."
