"Dad, it’s all my fault, I didn’t take good care of mom." Fang Manyin lowered her head, thankful that her mother-in-law’s foot was unharmed; otherwise, she would’ve blamed herself to death.
"It’s not Manyin’s fault, I just didn’t walk carefully. And in this hot summer, Manyin even bought me water, which wasn’t easy." Jiang Wanru explained. It was her own carelessness, and she couldn’t blame Manyin.
"Dad, the doctor said mom’s leg is fine. Shall we go home first?" Su Lie spoke up, quietly shielding his wife behind him, and said, "Besides, Aunt Wen Na and the others are coming tomorrow. I’ll go back today and arrange things early to see if there’s anything I missed."
"Hmm." Su Jinrong glanced at Fang Manyin, who was protected behind Su Lie, then shot Su Lie a sharp look and said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who is unreasonable?"
Su Lie touched his nose awkwardly and looked to Jiang Wanru for help, thinking, Dad, when have you ever been reasonable about anything concerning mom?
However, these thoughts, Su Lie only dared to mutter in his heart and didn’t dare to speak out loud.
"Jinrong, I want to go to the school; Meishu and I have agreed to meet some of her students today." Jiang Wanru spoke up.
But Su Jinrong refused and said, "No, we’ll go home first. You can meet those students tomorrow. Aren’t you supposed to go with us to pick up Wen Na? You should just go home and rest."
If only she had been more careful. It was a rare chance to get out, and now it was ruined.
"Jinrong, I visited the library you d to. I think our daughter will surely be reborn well. Maybe she’s already grown up now." Jiang Wanru remembered Xu Nianhua, who had helped her, and said, "Right, after I fell, it was a young girl who helped me up, and she was so pretty."
"Someone helped me, I have to thank her, right?" Jiang Wanru found an excuse and said, "Look, my foot is fine. Let’s just make a trip to the school."
"No." Su Jinrong was unyielding when it came to her health, knowing that since her last childbirth, her health had always been weak. After all these years of careful nurturing, he worried about her being exposed to the scorching sun—what if she got heatstroke?
"Thanks can wait; first, we go home." Su Jinrong supported Jiang Wanru out of the hospital. If it hadn’t been against Jiang Wanru’s wishes, Su Jinrong would have preferred to carry her out himself.
"I’m sorry, it’s all because I didn’t take care of mom." Fang Manyin said guiltily, "I just thought it was hot and wanted to buy a bottle of water for Mom. I didn’t know she would fall."
"Manyin, don’t blame yourself; it was just an accident, something nobody wanted to happen." Su Lie held her hand, comforting her, "It’s not your fault. It was just an accident. Is Xiao’en staying home alone, painting again?"
Su Lie knew that their son had recently received a painting album which he treasured. He could only wait for his son to fall asleep so he could sneak a peek at the album.
"Xiaoxi is at home with him. She bought a few more books that Xiao’en really likes to read." Fang Manyin replied with a smile. Marrying into the Su Family had brought her happiness, and it would be even better if their son’s illness could be cured.
"That’s good, let’s all go back and check on Xiao’en." Su Lie saw that his wife’s mood had improved, so he took her home with him.
"Mom and Dad really do love each other. Tell me, have mom and dad ever had a fight or argued?" Fang Manyin suddenly became curious as she looked at the car ahead.
