Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 865 - 751: Old Mei’s Illegitimate Child_2

"Where did all these superstitions come from?" Mei Shuqing didn’t believe in any of it.

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn’t believe it," Liang Qian was somewhat religious, and Liang Hongmei knew this, so she got her a Child-Giving Guanyin.

Liang Hongmei even called to say it was especially effective. It’s been consecrated.

Liang Qian was still thinking of properly worshiping when her Junzi got married.

Chen Haichang still hadn’t shown any intention of leaving, so the Mei Shuping family ignored him and went directly to sleep.

Leaving only Old Mei and Old Mrs. Mei in the living room, waiting it out.

...

No idea how much time passed. Lin Wan was sleeping in a daze when she suddenly heard some commotion downstairs, noisy for quite a while. Lin Wan thought their family was stirring up trouble again, so she didn’t want to get up—pregnancy made her sleepy.

When it got past three, Little Star woke her up.

Lin Wan noticed Han Yi was nowhere to be seen.

"Where’s your dad?" Lin Wan rubbed the child’s head, groggily opened her eyes, and sat up.

"I don’t know, no one’s downstairs, but I found a note beside mom’s pillow."

Little Star said, handing Lin Wan a note.

"Old Mrs. Mei got injured, at the hospital."

Lin Wan then realized the noise she heard while she was asleep.

Lin Wan hurried to get dressed and cleaned up, taking Little Star to the hospital. Lin Wan didn’t know which hospital it was, but she thought it should be in the Shede district hospital, and indeed found them in the district hospital before the surgery.

"How come you’re here?" Han Yi was the first to see Lin Wan and quickly went up to her, pulling Mei Lang Jun, who was sitting on a resting bench, to let Lin Wan sit down.

Mei Lang Jun snorted, gave him a glare, but Han Yi didn’t pay him any mind and just fussed about whether his wife was hot.

"What happened?"

"Suddenly had a bad fall, the ankle bone got displaced, needs surgery. They’ve been here for two hours already."

"How did she just fall suddenly?" Lin Wan asked, puzzled.

Next to her, Xie Lingzhi snorted, "She definitely wouldn’t fall for no reason," and then glanced meaningfully at Chen Haichang, who was leisurely eating an ice cream.

Chen Haichang took a sip of the running ice cream, indifferently saying, "Your gaze disgusts me, just say whatever you want openly, beating around the bush is really annoying."

"So, someone did it but won’t let us talk? You three were the only ones there, my father-in-law just left and then my mother-in-law had an accident. This is too much of a coincidence, isn’t it?"

"You just want to say I’m the one who injured Old Mrs. Mei, right? Just say it directly, anyway, I’m not short of money."

"What do you mean blaming? It’s clearly you," Xie Lingzhi shouted angrily.

Beside her, Mei Shuping also got angry, "This isn’t about money. You say you hate the Mei Family, we can understand, but you can’t take it out on Old Mrs. Mei."

"How did I take it out on her? Speak clearly." Chen Haichang immediately threw out the ice cream, put on a serious face, apparently wanting to have a good debate with Mei Shuping and his wife.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, all of you. Be quiet for a moment," Old Mei lowered his head, as if worrying about his old wife, filled with anxiety.

"Dad, why are you stopping us? Mom was likely hurt by him," Mei Shuping was unwilling.

"I saw it, your mom accidentally fell herself. Your mom is still inside, all of you be quiet, making a fuss doesn’t look good."

Old Mei saying this made everyone stop talking. Xie Lingzhi’s eyelids dropped slightly, showing some unwillingness.

At the moment, Chen Haichang had lit a cigarette, smoke blurred his expression, yet the blowing smoke went entirely towards Old Mei, whether intentionally or not.

When Old Mrs. Mei was pushed out, it was already half an hour later.

The ankle was displaced, with some bone fragments. The surgery pieced those fragments together and then drilled a hole in the bone, inserting a thin stick inside, and then hanging it with a brick.

Lin Wan had never seen such a bone-setting method before. But this time, Old Mrs. Mei would suffer quite a bit.

This situation won’t recover in a few months.

When Old Mrs. Mei was pushed out, she was still unconscious. Her complexion was pale, hair disheveled, covered in silver hair, with heavy forehead lines and eye corner wrinkles, totally different from her usual demeanor, utterly forlorn.

Now looking at her quiet demeanor, it’s much better than usual, looking more kind. Certainly, it’s also easy to evoke pity.
