The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 203 - 167

"I heard you were injured and hospitalized, you’ve been here for a while, and the person who delivered the message didn’t explain clearly, which made people worried." Chunhua looked exhausted and haggard, unable to hide her concern in her eyes, after sitting on the car for two days straight, swaying, not eating or sleeping well, and upon returning to the hospital, she didn’t even drink any water. Dr. Lin came over to tell her that her third brother had an accident, and she hurried here in a rush.

"I’m fine, don’t worry!" Chunhua, looking travel-worn and haggard, caught the sympathetic eye of Mo Junhua, "You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll get your sister-in-law to buy you some food. After you eat, you should get some sleep."

"I’m fine," Chunhua shook her head, "Third Brother, what exactly happened to you? Tell me the truth," she said, approaching Mo Junhua to check on him.

Mo Junhua held down the blanket, a girl shouldn’t flip someone’s blanket casually, even if they are siblings; considerations must be taken to avoid suspicion, which could impact her reputation and her prospects for marriage in the future.

"Has something happened back home?"

Lan Tian had mentioned to him that Chunhua worked at the second hospital in Shanghai, and had been there for several years, doing quite well in her job. Lan Tian’s family moved to Shanghai and bought land in the suburbs to build a house.

His wife was impressive, he felt proud yet inexplicably lost at the same time; during the years he wasn’t there, his girl had grown more and more outstanding, only missing his company.

Chunhua paused, her expression turned gloomy as she shook her head, "Nothing."

A letter from home said her mother was not doing well and asked her to come back home; if she didn’t return soon, she might not even get to see her mother for the last time. She was terrified and took leave from the hospital to go home, only to find her mother, alive and well, capable of eating two bowls of rice in one sitting, and perfectly healthy.

"Why did you come back? Isn’t the hospital busy?" Wang Guiyu was surprised by Chunhua’s sudden return since it wasn’t a holiday or festival; she thought something happened to her in the city.

It was only after asking that she found out that her elder sister-in-law had gone behind her mother’s back and found another suitor for her, afraid that Chunhua wouldn’t come back, telling her a vicious lie that her mother was dying.

At that moment, Chunhua had a quarrel with her older brother and sister-in-law.

Wang Guiyu looked very unhappy; the eldest family was becoming increasingly abusive, as they intercepted and kept the letters Chunhua sent, copying the address to lure her daughter back home for a marriage meeting.

Wang Guiyu was furious, not even she, as a mother, was anxious about her daughter’s age and inability to find a husband, then her daughter-in-law, who came into the family through marriage, was overstepping in arranging her younger sister-in-law’s marriage, reaching out too far and showing no respect for her as the mother-in-law.

She scolded Chunlai and his wife until they were covered in blood, talking about dividing the family at the end of the year, they had been given a lot after the division, life was too good for them, and they were just bored with nothing better to do.

Because of the division of the family, there was a huge dispute at home; the eldest sister-in-law didn’t dare to quarrel with her mother, but made a point of arguing with Chunhua, making staying at home unbearable.

With Third Brother still in the hospital, these family troubles are best left unspoken so as not to worry him and affect his recovery.

Mo Junhua could see that Chunhua was troubled by something, and with the hospital being a place full of gossip, it wasn’t the place to talk.

Whilst the siblings were talking, several people who followed behind entered one after another.

It happened that Guo Fu was off today, he had wanted to visit the military unit for a while but never had the chance, and took the opportunity to accompany Chunhua for a brief visit.

This time Chunhua didn’t return to Shanghai alone; Yanhua insisted on coming with her.

Cai Mingming also came along, hearing in the duty room that a woman was coming to find Battalion Commander Mo and went out to see who the shameless woman was. She was about to scoff when she saw the registration form filled with the name Mo Chunhua and the patient relationship as siblings, she held back her contempt.

Now there was a good show to watch, with Battalion Commander Mo’s younger sister arriving, let’s see if that shameless woman can still stay.

Enchanted by beauty, Mo Jun lost his senses, unable to see Weiwei’s goodness, he was indifferent and heartless towards Weiwei, while warmly receiving that shameless woman. Even outsiders like them couldn’t bear to watch, feeling indignant on Weiwei’s behalf.

Real-life Chen Shimei, what’s there to miss; if it were her, she would have dumped him long ago.

"Brother, how are you?" After the siblings had caught up, Lin Guofu came to check on him, "Such a big issue and you didn’t make a peep, don’t you consider me a brother?"

"It happened so suddenly, I didn’t have a chance to," Mo Junhua offered only a brief explanation, "Thank you for looking after Chunhua."

Lin Guofu had heard a bit about military discipline.

"We’re brothers, don’t be a stranger with me."

Mo Junhua nodded. He was not good with words and kept to himself most of the time. In the military, they acted straightforwardly, no scheming behind one’s back; he remembered this favor.

Yanhua had always been scared of Mo Junhua. When she heard that Mo Junhua was hospitalized after an accident, she pretended to look distressed, but inwardly she was overjoyed, spitefully waiting to witness Lan Tian’s embarrassment.

Yanhua was particularly petty; she still harbored resentment for being mocked by Lan Tian after her divorce. She hoped Mo Junhua would fall seriously ill beyond cure, better yet to die, leaving Lan Tian a young widow. Then, when the gossip spread about her bringing misfortune to her husband, haha, with her reputation ruined, who would want her? She’d be unable to marry off for the rest of her life.

Now that Mo Junhua was fine, her previous schemes were wasted. With her heart trembling, she stiffened her scalp to approach him and managed a dry, "Junhua, it’s so good that you’re alright."

Mo Junhua silently nodded; he remembered Yanhua, who seemed to be the granddaughter of Lan Tian’s Fourth Grandpa.

Cai Mingming came in, looking around unsure whom to find, then noticed Zhou Yuwei washing clothes and approached her.

"Weiwei, Camp Commander Mo’s sister is here, and you’re not going over? Your little sister-in-law must be on your side, see if she still dares to pester the battalion commander."

Zhou Yuwei felt her face heating up, feeling as though Cai Mingming’s words were about her. She glanced sideways at the shower room.

Lan Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled. Little sister-in-law! She’s even calling her that; Zhou Yuwei’s shamelessness is truly unparalleled, Chunhua would surely curse her again for being ’shameless.’

"That shameless fox spirit, where is she? Not seen her around? She couldn’t have hidden upon knowing Camp Commander Mo’s sister was coming, right? Stop washing and let’s go." She pulled Zhou Yuwei towards where Chunhua was.

Zhou Yuwei struggled several times but couldn’t break free. She would rather avoid Chunhua than approach her. She glared at her resentfully, a dimwit who could mess things up but never achieve anything!

Cai Mingming, single-mindedly dragging her forward, didn’t notice her resentful gaze.

"..." The shameless fox spirit Lan Tian, admiring herself in the mirror. Hmm, she looked pretty good today.

"Where is Lan Tian?" Lin Guofu asked, scanning the room and not seeing Lan Tian.

Chunhua looked up, scanning the room and a hopeful light gleamed in her eyes; with Lan Tian here, her third brother would be safe.

Yanhua looked around as well.

Lan Tian wiped her hands dry and strolled out unhurriedly.

Seeing Lan Tian, Chunhua felt like she had found her mainstay, her nose turned sour and her eyes slightly reddened as she plaintively called out, "Sister-in-law."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Lan Tian as she walked in leisurely.

Cai Mingming stood tall and proud, full of vigor. See, even Camp Commander Mo’s sister was calling Weiwei ’sister-in-law’. Now the hardships Weiwei had gone through seemed worthwhile; the eyes of the public are indeed clear.
