CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 335: FIVE BOWLS OF CHICKEN SOUP A DAY

Everyone in the ward nodded, very much agreeing with his words.

In reality, he pulled some strings, and even though there was nothing wrong with them, they were labeled as having issues. Under his maneuvering, it would be in their next life before the mother and daughter could leave the mental hospital.

As for Zhang Haijun, he got a good scolding from Mr. Zhang Sr. Afterward, they talked privately for quite a while, and when they came out, he didn’t mention getting Lin Cuifen out anymore.

Regarding his daughter, he thought it more suitable for her to stay in the sanatorium.

After doing so many unseen things and sacrificing her womb, that daughter was already wasted, and now her mental state was a bit unstable too — letting her out would just cause more trouble.

In fact, Mr. Zhang Sr. told Zhang Haijun everything Lin Cuifen did, including what he knew and what he didn’t know, things Lin Cuifen kept hidden from him. He found it unbelievable and ultimately chose to believe his father.

Given her maliciousness, letting her spend the rest of her life peacefully in the sanatorium was already merciful to her.

After three days in the hospital, Lin Xue was brought home. However, Bai Xianglan refused to let her go to Zhang Yuan’s grandparents’ house.

"My granddaughter, I’ll take her home to care for her!" Bai Xianglan said insistently, "Saving the trouble if someone reckless tries to push my granddaughter down again — she can’t take it!"

Mrs. Zhang Sr. was speechless. The shampoo incident was indeed the fault of the Zhang Family. Although the mother and daughter were already put in the mental hospital by the eldest grandson and couldn’t get out, there were still two sons left. Who knows when they might stir up something again, catching everyone off guard.

"Old sister, it was our Zhang Family’s fault. You take Xiao Xue back first, and we’ll visit and apologize later!" This was said with utmost sincerity.

Though Mrs. Bai Sr. hadn’t shown any goodwill these days, she could understand. Even if it were her, she’d feel the same.

Xiao Xue almost had a massive hemorrhage, and they almost couldn’t save the baby — this was the fourth generation of the Zhang Family, and they felt the pain more than anyone.

Wang Cuihua stepped forward to hold Grandma Zhang’s hand, saying, "In-law Grandma, don’t take it to heart. This was an accident, none of us expected Zhang Ting to push our Xiao Xue. There’s no need to apologize; visit Xiao Xue when you have time! We’ll take her home now."

The way she said it was well-mannered, with not a hint of blame in the words, but she insisted on taking the daughter home, meaning the Zhang home wasn’t safe, and they could come to see the granddaughter-in-law at her place.

"Okay, okay, Cuihua! Please take good care of Xiao Xue! I’ll come to see her later, and you don’t need to prepare anything for Xiao Xue to nourish her body; I’ll send someone with supplies!" Grandma Zhang quickly seized the opportunity for a graceful exit.

In the past, Xiao Xue’s grandma had always been particularly polite to her, but after this incident, she became cold and indifferent, unwilling to engage.

Now, she detested Lin Cuifen vehemently — that woman’s entrance had caused enough harm to the Zhang Family.

Such a good daughter-in-law was provoked into dying in childbirth.

She bore three children, each more troublesome than the last, except for the second grandson, Zhang Yu.

Luckily, Mr. Zhang Sr. took over and started personally guiding Zhang Yu; otherwise, he wouldn’t have learned anything good from his mother.

"Grandma, you and grandpa go back and rest a bit! You’ve been constantly rushing to the hospital these past few days; how can your body take it? I’ll go home and recover first, and when I’m better, I’ll come to see you!" Lin Xue nestled into Zhang Yuan’s embrace; he wouldn’t let her walk on her own.

"Good girl! Rest well, and Grandma will come to see you tomorrow!" Mrs. Zhang Sr. stepped forward and placed an envelope into Lin Xue’s hands.

It was five thousand yuan that Mr. Zhang Sr. had given her, saying it was pocket money for buying good food.

She didn’t refuse anymore, knowing well that refusal was futile, so she calmly accepted it.

When everyone returned to the courtyard, Wang Cuihua didn’t let anyone go back to their own home but directly took them to the room next door to settle in the room where she’d stayed before marriage.

The place was clean and tidy; Lin Xue moved in as if someone had always lived there.

The younger siblings served tea, brought food, and took care of her attentively.

Lin Shan even brought a pile of books, all kinds, for her to read when she was bored.

The two little ones sat on either side of her, telling stories, massaging her shoulders, and pounding her legs — she suddenly received queen-like treatment.

"Big Sis, if you want to eat something, just tell me! I’ll make it for you!" Lin Yun emphasized once more.

"Why are all of you home? Isn’t today just Thursday? Why didn’t you go to school?"

When everyone quieted down, Lin Xue remembered it wasn’t the weekend. Why were they home? Why didn’t they go to school?

"We... collectively asked for leave! We were too worried about you, so we stayed home, wanting to see you with our own eyes to be at ease!" Lin Xia explained with a worried face.

"Silly! You could’ve seen me after school in the evening, so why take leave?" Lin Xue covered her face. Her siblings cared so much about her; even a minor issue was a big deal to them! Not to mention, she nearly died this time.

The current medical level wasn’t good enough; otherwise, Zhang Ting wouldn’t have needed to have her uterus removed.

"We couldn’t wait until evening, and anyway, we couldn’t concentrate in school, so we might as well take leave to wait at home and feel at ease seeing you!" Lin Chuan, who was the clingiest, said while touching his head.

"You guys! Didn’t you come every day when I was in the hospital? What’s there to worry about? I’m fine now!" Lin Xue tapped Lin Chuan’s head.

Although he was already a fourteen-year-old boy, he didn’t take offense at his sister’s little bop on his forehead; instead, he smiled.

"Big Sis, why don’t you take a nap! We won’t disturb you anymore! We’ll go make you something delicious!" Lin Shan, seeing his sister looking tired, promptly urged everyone to give her some space.

In the end, the two little ones were coaxed out by the two older sisters; they insisted on staying there to watch Big Sis and wouldn’t leave.

Lin Xue shook her head with a smile. Once Zhang Yuan brought her back, he immediately went back to work; he had been especially busy these days, quickly finishing up his work while his wife recovered, and also needed to send the grandparents back home.

Now, with this happening, it would probably be harder for his wife to extricate herself. But he was a bit worried, fearing something might happen to her on the road, but there was no way around it.

He understood his wife; if she wanted to go somewhere, she wouldn’t give up on the idea unless she went.

Lin Xue was here battling with the family, obediently eating a variety of nourishing foods every day, drinking chicken soup five times a day until she felt she might turn into a chicken drumstick.

Lin Daliang brought one back every day after work. Along with the chicken, duck, and fish sent daily by Mr. Zhang Sr., anything a pregnant woman could eat was sent over like a stream.

Lin Xue found that her figure was back, and she seemed unable to gain weight again.

This reassured her, so she indulged in eating. After all, she liked food, so as long as it was delicious, why not eat? Eating well, wasn’t that good?

The problem was, her mom had also brought back a fetus-preserving medicine from an old Chinese doctor. Chinese medicine tasted awful, and it became her nightmare as her mom insisted on watching over her until she finished it, refusing to let her leave until she did.
