Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Lu Lin Must Hear This Apology

Listening to Grandma Wang’s words, Fu Xiaoxiao felt they were eerily familiar. If she hadn’t married Lu Feng back then and had chosen that blind date guy instead, would her situation be the same now?

After all, that guy was also a dutiful son outsourcing his filial duties.

Before marriage, it’s only natural for the mother to work hard; after marriage, the mother should enjoy a carefree life, and it’s the daughter-in-law’s duty to fulfill that role for her son.

"The child has to be born by her, raised by her, and all the housework is hers. You just use your mouth, you must be truly exhausted." Xu Yan sneered.

Fu Xiaoxiao decided that at this moment, Xu Yan was speaking on behalf of everyone.

The words she wanted to say, Xu Yan was even quicker to voice.

"Comrade Wang Wenqiang, I’m not speaking for your wife, but the facts are right in front of you. Due to your mother’s actions, your wife’s body is now so fragile that even a child bumping into her could make her faint." Xu Yan’s expression became significantly more serious.

Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She thought Xu Yan aimed to scare Grandma Wang a little, but now it seemed like Zhang Xiaomei’s health was genuinely destroyed by Grandma Wang’s medicines.

"Is it that bad?" Wang Wenqiang didn’t expect Zhang Xiaomei’s health condition to be this severe.

"Let me put it this way for you! Your wife took inappropriate fake medicines, and among them was safflower. If she drinks too much of this, she won’t be able to get pregnant, understand?" Xu Yan explained to Wang Wenqiang with utmost seriousness.

"Moreover, this kind of damage might not be reversible. She’s been taking this medicine for quite a while, and it’s certainly not just one type. Knowing your mother’s temperament, she’s mixed several kinds of ’fertility drugs’ for her." Xu Yan wasn’t joking; the situation was indeed very grim.

"Doctor, you must save my wife, no matter how much it costs." Only after hearing Xu Yan’s words did Wang Wenqiang truly begin to pay attention.

Zhang Xiaomei wiped away her tears. No wonder she always felt like she could faint at any moment.

It turned out to be true; her body really couldn’t withstand any shock now.

"Wang Wenqiang, I want to go back to my parents’ house." Zhang Xiaomei sobbed as she spoke to Wang Wenqiang.

At home, she was also the cherished daughter her parents adored. Just because she took a liking to Wang Wenqiang did she insist on marrying him; otherwise, with her family’s status, Wang Wenqiang wouldn’t have been able to marry her.

After all, her father was the village head, with real power! What did the Wang Family have!

Now that she’s been treated like this, she won’t put up with it any longer.

"Xiao Mei..." Hearing this, Wang Wenqiang felt his scalp tingle.

"If you don’t handle this, I’ll have my parents deal with it! You don’t care about my health, but my parents do!" Zhang Xiaomei was furious and genuinely refused to serve anymore.

"Daughter-in-law, I know I was wrong, please don’t go back! Recuperate here, doctor, prescribe the best medicine for my daughter-in-law." Grandma Wang looked at Xu Yan, imploring him to quickly prescribe medicine.

Xu Yan didn’t say anything further and simply handed the prescription to Grandma Wang.

"Xiao Ling, take them to pay and get the medicine." Xu Yan sat down and spoke indifferently.

"Come with me then! Once the costs are covered, I’ll help you get the medicine." Xiao Ling led Wang Wenqiang and others to the pharmacy.

Zhang Xiaomei sat there, her face clouded, deep in thought. After a while, she addressed Xu Yan. "Doctor, may I make a call?"

"Sure." Xu Yan nodded.

Taking advantage of the absence of Wang Wenqiang and Grandma Wang, Zhang Xiaomei called the village and reported her plight to her parents.

"Wait, your mother will set off immediately." Mother Zhang, upon hearing of her daughter’s plight, packed up to leave without a second thought.

"I’ll go with you!" Father Zhang’s face darkened; he certainly wouldn’t indulge anyone bullying his daughter.

By the time Grandma Wang and the others returned, Zhang Xiaomei had already hung up, sitting expressionlessly in her seat.

"Now that it’s proven your medicine was problematic, shouldn’t you apologize to my son?" Seeing the unpleasant expression on Grandma Wang’s face, Fu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said.

Only then did Grandma Wang notice Fu Xiaoxiao, and upon hearing her words, she remembered her previous bet with Fu Xiaoxiao.

"Stop talking nonsense, when did I ever say that?" Grandma Wang refused to admit anything.

"Aunt Liu and I heard it loud and clear—you blamed it on my Lu Lin; it might not be about the argument, but my son kindly advised you, and yet you bullied a seven-year-old child." Fu Xiaoxiao frowned and addressed Grandma Wang with cold eyes.

Fu Xiaoxiao’s words left Grandma Wang on the spot, seeing Lu Lin behind Fu Xiaoxiao.

"I’m sorry, Xiao Lin, it was wrong of Grandma to blame you." Grandma Wang finally opened her mouth to apologize, having no choice but to relent.

"It’s okay." Receiving the apology from Grandma Wang, Lu Lin turned and held Fu Xiaoxiao’s hand, walking away.

"Xiao Lin, what’s wrong? Why are you walking so fast?" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Lin, who was walking briskly ahead.

"Mom, it’s fine, you don’t need to bother with her anymore." Lu Lin hugged Fu Xiaoxiao, smiling.

He was already very satisfied; Grandma Wang was stubborn, and getting an apology from her was an achievement.

"She wronged you, so she must apologize." Fu Xiaoxiao reiterated, "Don’t think you can just let it go—people will remember your kindness."

"On the contrary, those people will only think you’re easy to bully, repeatedly testing your limits." Fu Xiaoxiao emphasized seriously. "That ’I’m sorry,’ she had to say it to you."

"Hmm." Although he didn’t understand many profound truths, Lu Lin felt incredibly validated.

After Grandma Wang apologized, Fu Xiaoxiao took Lu Lin and Lu Chen home.

When Aunt Liu returned after watching the drama, she rushed to Fu Xiaoxiao’s house, enthusiastically filling her in on what had happened.

"You wouldn’t believe it, but that Zhang Xiaomei is no pushover. The fact that Grandma Wang didn’t spend ten yuan to buy her medicine was directly reported."

"Reported to whom?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.

"Up above! To the leaders!" Aunt Liu exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Xiaomei had no intention of letting Grandma Wang off easily; she wanted Grandma Wang to realize just how outrageous her actions were.

"Chen Hong was unable to persuade her, and Zhang Xiaomei was dead set on divorcing Wang Wenqiang, citing his neglect for her safety as the reason." Aunt Liu waved it off with a smile, implying that the rest of the story wasn’t as exciting as the gossip about Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang had always thought her son was remarkable, cherishing the idea of having a son as her greatest asset. This time, wanting to have a child, Wang Wenqiang agreed to it, thus tacitly endorsing his mother’s behavior.

Aunt Liu saw it clearly, while Zhang Xiaomei felt even more disheartened.

With just a word from Grandma Wang, her son would stand firmly on her side without regard for anything else.

Even knowing it’s wrong, to avoid affecting himself, he’d let go.

"They won’t really get divorced, will they?" Fu Xiaoxiao felt that Zhang Xiaomei’s feelings for Wang Wenqiang might not lead to divorce.

"They didn’t agree to it. How could they possibly agree to let her get a divorce? They worked so hard to get a wife." Aunt Liu waved her hand with a smile.
