I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 283: Our Family Just Wants a Fair Judgment

The man with the broken leg’s mother clutched two yuan in her hand, her heart fluttering in panic as well. She never expected it would be that kind pregnant woman who called her "Auntie" in the end.

Thinking about it, the pregnant woman was taken care of over there, and then looking at this one, what else couldn’t come to mind?

"How come people resent her so much, you go to the hospital canteen to get a big meal for your daughter-in-law, even buy meat buns from the State-Owned Restaurant, not to mention fruit and shortbread, and in the afternoon she still wants to have a yellow peach can. Flaunting wealth like that, both are pregnant, what is she eating? Plain wheat buns with thick soy paste and green onion, craving your family’s shortbread, your daughter-in-law is a softie, giving one out to each person, after having tasted the good stuff, looking back at themselves, how can their hearts be balanced?"

The old woman cleared herself of responsibility; it was Shen Yutian and Su Xiaomei who gave out a piece of shortbread, and when they started asking for other things, the stinginess began. Anyone who saw it would feel upset by such a show of wealth; why not live in a private ward instead of squeezing in here with them?

Shen Meng listened, feeling her temples throbbing with anger, people are never satisfied, coveting more and more.

"Officer, our family doesn’t want compensation, nor an apology, we just want a fair judgment."

The pregnant woman turned pale upon hearing this.

"I’m still carrying a child, how can you be so heartless."

"Oh, is it my child you’re carrying? Why shouldn’t I be heartless, did you remember she gave you a piece of shortbread when you harmed my sister-in-law?"

The pregnant woman’s voice choked up. She didn’t dare say more, unable to argue with Shen Meng, she looked back at the officer claiming her innocence.

Outside in the wards, hearing the noisy arguments, people came over one after another to watch the commotion; Su Xiaomei frowned tightly because of the noise.

Just then, Cheng Yufen’s assistant Nurse Zhao came, scolded the crowd, and then checked on Su Xiaomei. During the belly massage, she didn’t dare to use too much force.

"Recovery isn’t bad, but after all, it was a major surgery, you need good rest for a few days before being discharged. After leaving the hospital, you also need to take care of yourself delicately, consider not having children for the next two or three years."

"Ah, I know, I know, no more children for me, not in the future either."

Shen Yutian held Su Xiaomei’s hand tight and didn’t dare to let go. When Nurse Zhao massaged the stomach earlier, his wife was almost in immense pain.

After Su Xiaomei woke up, she drank a few sips of cold water, then closed her eyes to rest again. The wound on her body hurt terribly, and the numbness from the anesthetic had not completely worn off, leaving her completely weak.

"Nurse Zhao, does our hospital have separate wards? My sister-in-law needs to rest well. Plus, there’s a prisoner here who might harm someone at any time; we really dare not stay with her."

"Later in the night. A patient is to be discharged later in the night, transferring out. Then you can move there."

"Thank you, Nurse Zhao."

After such an ordeal, Shen Meng was also extremely tired. She went back home with Lu Xiangxiang and Shen Xiaobin. Su Xiaomei was taken care of by Shen Yutian and a nurse, and Dr. Qian would also come to check on her from time to time, which was somewhat reassuring.

Back home, Mingyang, Mingliang, and Ming Fang were taking turns to entertain Ming Bai because it was getting late and past the usual time Shen Meng came home. Ming Kai had a slight fever, and he was crying for his mother in distress.

His older brother and sister emptied all the hidden snacks they had, but it wasn’t acknowledgment he wanted – he wanted his mother.

Xie Jinghao and Lu Jiasheng also came over several times to no avail. Shen Meng was speechless seeing the little one with tears and snot all over his face, still stubbornly sitting on the ground at the door waiting for her.

"Where are your shoes, why are you shoeless and crying? Lu Mingkai, get up quickly, look at what you’re sitting in, your pants are all dirty."

"Mom, Mom, why did you come back so late, wuu wuu wuu, I thought you weren’t coming back, wuu wuu wuu, I burp... I....."

"Were you missing Mom so much that you’re full?"

Lu Mingkai: ".... Waa~"

Mocked, it hurts so much!!!

Shen Meng, enduring the filth on the child, squatted down and yanked Ming Kai up, leading him back home with his dirty little hands. Mingyang and the other children clearly heaved a sigh of relief.

The little brother is really too mischievous.

After pouring hot water for Ming Kai to wash and changing his clothes, she then thoroughly told the children about what had happened in the county.

"Is my second aunt okay now?"

"And what about my little sister? Is she doing well?"

Shen Meng patted the heads of the children before replying, "It’s fine, with mom here, how could anything go wrong? However, this time we owe a big thank you to everyone. Without so many people helping with the blood donation, your second aunt would have really been in grave danger."

"I’m going to see my second aunt tomorrow, and I want to see my little sister."

"I want to see my little sister and my second aunt too, she is such a nice person, I am going to take revenge for her!"

"Second brother, don’t talk nonsense, didn’t mom say she has reported it to the police? We just need to go and see my little sister and second aunt."

Ming Kai stayed silent, his arms wrapped around Shen Meng’s neck, his head burrowed into her shoulder, incredibly well-behaved.

"Let’s wait a couple of days, your second aunt just had surgery and can’t talk to you. Mom has to go to work tomorrow, and in a few days, your little uncle is getting married. By then we’ll go visit, and your second aunt surely will be out of the hospital."

"Okay."

The children must have seen the tiredness on her brow, as they took the initiative to heat water on the coal stove for washing up before returning to their rooms. Mingyang, when leaving, even took Ming Kai with him.

Originally as noisy as a pig during the New Year’s festivities, but a single "Mom is really tired, I can’t coddle you." made him obediently follow along.

After the children left, Shen Meng closed the door, went straight to her room, washed up, then prepared a table full of hot pot for herself, with various vegetables and meats she liked, and also made a bottle of fruit wine and a big bowl of ice cream.

After a day of hard work, eating hot pot is what it takes to relieve all the fatigue. She put all her favorite ingredients into the pot and dipping them in the sauce, with one bite, she felt herself float away, overwhelmed with happiness.

After finishing the meal, she lay in bed watching TV for a while before comfortably falling asleep.

The next day, she tidied up the dining table, dressed up, and went out the door, directly taking out a prepared breakfast from the kitchen: spicy soup, soup dumplings, Shuijianbao, tea eggs, and five sugar cakes.

A variety of food, nutritionally balanced, the children upon waking up, without even having time to fix their clothes, quickly brushed up and hurried over for breakfast.

"Mom, you got up so early to cook?"

"Of course she got up early, didn’t you see the stove has cooled down?"

"Mom, don’t get up so early next time. We have milk powder at home, and shortbread and egg cakes, they can all be eaten for breakfast!"

Ming Kai didn’t speak. He didn’t want to eat those. He just wanted to eat the breakfast mom made. It’s really delicious!

Shen Meng, not a bit shy, said to the children: "Mom enjoys it, seeing you all finish the food I made makes my heart really happy."

The little ones, upon hearing this, were moved with their eyes beginning to redden. Mom, she really is too good!!!
