Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children
Chapter 475 I Listen to My Parents
Haitang gently, almost carefully, wrapped Yu's mother's slightly trembling hand with her warm yet slightly cold fingers. Her actions were full of deep understanding and comfort for her mother.
Her eyes were gentle, as if they could melt all worries. She gently patted the back of Yu's mother's hand. Every touch seemed to convey silent strength and love.
"Mom, look," her voice was as thin as a thread, but extremely firm, with a barely perceptible tremor, trying to make her words sound more relaxed.
"I'm really fine now. My physical injuries are slowly healing, and I'll slowly untie the knots in my heart. Please don't worry about me anymore, okay?"
As she said this, Haitang forced a smile on her face. That smile was like a ray of sunshine in winter, which, although weak, still tried to illuminate the surrounding haze.
However, the bitterness and grievance hidden behind that smile are like an undercurrent in the deep sea, turbulent and complex.
The corners of her eyes drooped slightly, tears flashing in her eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back. Her strength and fragility intertwined together made people feel pity for her.
She continued to speak slowly, with a barely perceptible tremor and relief in her voice: "Actually, Yuzhu brother...he really didn't mean it.
At that moment, the situation was so sudden that it caught people off guard. Who could blame him for his instinctive reaction to protect the rain? "
Having said that, Yu Haitang lowered her eyes gently, "As for myself," she sighed slightly, with a trace of self-blame flashing in her eyes.
"After becoming pregnant, my body has indeed become much weaker, and even the most basic daily activities have become difficult. I shouldn't have asked Yu Shui to bring me food because of my physical condition, otherwise it wouldn't have caused a series of unnecessary misunderstandings and twists and turns."
As Mother Yu listened to Haitang's words, her eyes gradually turned red. She stretched out her other hand and gently stroked Haitang's cheek, her movements gentle and loving.
Mother Yu's eyes were filled with heartache and reluctance. She sighed, her voice choking with sobs: "It's really hard for you, child. Mom knows that you are a kind-hearted child. You always think about others and never want to blame anyone.
But I can't get over this. You are pregnant with our He family's child, so you are a great contributor to the He family. How can we let you suffer such injustice? As family members, they should help you with food and take care of you. That's only natural."
When she said this, Yu's mother's voice unconsciously rose by several decibels, and her eyes flashed with an unquestionable light, as if she was declaring her position to everyone present.
She deliberately emphasized her tone, and every word was powerful, obviously speaking to He Yuzhu and He Yushui:
"Our Haitang is pregnant with your He family's child! You must see and remember the suffering she has endured. As a family member, she should be treated with respect and given way. This is only natural!"
He Yushui stood aside and looked at Yu Haitang with complicated eyes. She looked at Yu Haitang's slightly pale face with mixed feelings.
Thinking of the innocent life that was lost and hearing Yu Haitang's words at this moment, she wanted to step forward and have a good argument, but then she thought about He Yuzhu's pleading eyes and silent attitude just now, so she finally held back her impulse.
She sighed softly, then turned her head away and no longer looked at Yu Haitang, as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction in this way.
He Yuzhu's mood was even more complicated. He was originally very distressed by Yu Haitang's experience, and even planned to have a good talk with He Yushui after she was discharged from the hospital, hoping that she would let go of the rumor-mongering incident and let the family return to peace.
However, he never expected that the first words Yu Haitang said when she woke up would be like this. An indescribable disappointment and chill suddenly surged in his heart, as if a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, and he was completely stunned.
He stared at Yu Haitang in a daze. The eyes that were once full of tenderness and kindness now felt strange to him.
He tried hard to find a trace of sincerity and regret in her expression, but it was as futile as looking for a grain of sand in the vast ocean.
On Yu Haitang's face, there was only determination and stubbornness that was as unshakable as a rock, making him feel unprecedented strangeness and powerlessness.
At this moment, he seemed to realize that he had never really understood her, or rather, he had never had the opportunity to delve into her inner world and understand her thoughts and feelings.
"Haitang, you...how can you say that?"
He Yuzhu's voice was full of disappointment and confusion. He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him, whom he once loved and trusted, would say such words.
There were complex emotions flashing in his eyes, including pain, confusion, and a hint of barely perceptible anger.
Yu Haitang felt He Yuzhu's gaze, but she didn't dare to look up at him. She knew that her words had deeply hurt him, but she also had her own difficulties and considerations.
She gently avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I'm sorry, Brother Yuzhu, I just don't want my parents to misunderstand you, and I don't want them to worry about our relationship."
There was a hint of helplessness and self-blame in her tone, but more of a firmness. She knew that doing this might make He Yuzhu even more disappointed, but she thought it was for the sake of the overall situation, for the harmony and future of the two families.
At this time, Yu's father, looking at Yu Haitang who was no longer seriously injured, had another plan in mind. He knew the complexity and sensitivity of the matter, but at the same time he also saw the benefits and opportunities in it.
His eyes moved back and forth between He Yuzhu and Yu Haitang, secretly thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this matter.
After all, he has a son who is about to graduate, and he needs to pave the way for his son's future. The opportunity before him may be a good starting point.
Thinking of this, Father Yu calmly turned his gaze towards Mother Yu. Their eyes met in the air, as if they were having a silent conversation.
Father Yu nodded slightly, a calculating look flashed in his eyes, while Mother Yu immediately understood what he meant and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Then, Yu's mother suddenly knelt on the ground, covering her face with her hands, tears rolling down like beads from a broken string, and she wailed loudly:
"My poor Haitang, my grandson who didn't even have the chance to see this world, wuwuwu..." Her cry was shrill and sad, filled with endless sorrow and unwillingness, instantly filling the entire ward.
The sudden cry immediately attracted the attention of people around, and the atmosphere in the ward became solemn and depressing.
Some patients and their families who were originally resting in the ward cast curious and sympathetic glances, and some curious people began to gather outside the door, peeking in to see what was going on inside.
He Yushui's heart tightened when she saw this. She knew very well that such a scene would only make things more complicated and difficult to handle.
So, without hesitation, she walked quickly to the door and closed it forcefully, blocking out those curious eyes.
She stood at the door, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, as if she was protecting her brother in her own way.
When Yu's mother saw He Yushui's actions, her crying did not subside, but became louder. She cried about the pain of losing her grandson and deliberately raised her voice and said:
"My dear grandson, your father didn't want you because of your sister... How could he be so cruel? He can even abandon his own flesh and blood..."
Her words were full of accusations and complaints against He Yuzhu, as if she wanted to put all the blame on him alone.
He Yuzhu's head was splitting with pain from Yu's mother's crying, and the veins on his forehead stood out like earthworms, which was particularly eye-catching.
He looked to the side helplessly, only to see Yu Haitang crying softly with her head down, tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto her clothes, leaving wet marks.
A complex emotion surged in his heart. He felt sorry for Yu Haitang's situation, but also helpless that she could not stop Yu Mu from crying.
Yu Haitang also noticed the curious eyes outside the door and felt flustered. She knew that her identity and reputation could not be damaged, especially at this critical moment.
So, she plucked up her courage, reached out and gently pulled Yu's mother's clothes, and advised in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Mom, don't cry, it's so embarrassing." There was a hint of pleading in her tone, hoping that her mother would consider the occasion and her face.
However, Yu's mother ignored Yu Haitang's consolation and instead glared at her with displeasure and blame in her eyes.
She seemed angry at Haitang's "weakness" and thought that she shouldn't back down or compromise at this time. Then, she gave Yu Li a subtle eye contact, as if to signal her to continue to cooperate with her performance.
Then, Yu's mother's crying became louder. While wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, she continued to cry about her own grievances, Yu Haitang's grievances, and the grievances of the adopted grandson who had passed away without her ever meeting him.
Her words were full of accusations against the He family and helplessness about her fate, which aroused sympathy and sighs from people around her.
He Yuzhu listened to Yu's mother's crying, frowning, and the irritability and helplessness in his heart surged like a tide, almost drowning him. He tried hard to suppress his inner emotions and make his voice sound calm and firm.
"Dad, don't you want to do something about it?" He looked at his father-in-law standing beside him, with a gleam of help in his eyes.
However, Yu's father just shook his head gently with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was already accustomed to all this.
"Your mother is like this. She will be fine after crying for a while. We don't need to care about her." His tone was relaxed and casual, as if this farce had nothing to do with him.
He Yuzhu felt a chill in his heart. He had always thought that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were reasonable people who could distinguish right from wrong, but now it seemed that they were just taking advantage of this misunderstanding to achieve their own goals.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then looked at Yu's father and mother with sharp eyes.
"Stop crying and tell me what you want." His voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable firmness. He knew that he had to face the problem head-on to find a solution.
Upon hearing this, Yu's mother immediately became like a different person. She stopped crying, quickly stood up, straightened her clothes, and returned to her usual gentle image.
There was a faint smile on her face, as if the crying just now was just a misunderstanding and never happened. He Yuzhu watched this scene and couldn't help but secretly admire Yu Mu's acting skills. The speed and skills of changing her face were really amazing.
"We don't want anything to happen," Yu's mother said slowly, with a tone of unquestionable firmness, "but Haitang has suffered so much and her body has become much weaker. We should at least give her some compensation. After all, she did this for your He family."
He Yuzhu's face changed slightly when he heard this. He clenched his fists and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He looked at Yu's mother, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, both anger and helplessness. "What compensation do you want?" He finally asked in a low and powerful voice.
Seeing this, Father Yu cleared his throat, as if preparing for his next speech. He slowly said, "Zhu Zi, we are not unreasonable people. You see, Haitang has suffered so much this time, and because of you, she has lost so much blood, her health must be much worse than before.
It may be a big problem if she gets pregnant again. So, we think that at least she should be compensated with a job and 500... no, 1,000 yuan as medical expenses and mental damages."
As soon as Yu's father finished speaking, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became tense. A flash of anger flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes. He didn't expect the Yu family to make such a request.
"This is impossible!" He Yuzhu's voice was firm and powerful, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner emotions, but the heartache in his eyes was hard to hide.
"Although I am heartbroken that my child is gone, this is not a one-sided fault. I believe Haitang didn't mean that."
As he spoke, He Yuzhu's gaze slowly turned to Yu Haitang. He planned to give Yu Haitang another chance. If Yu Haitang still disappointed him, then their marriage would come to an end.
Yu Haitang felt He Yuzhu's gaze and her body trembled slightly. She lowered her head, her long hair covering half of her face. Her fingers twisted the corners of her clothes nervously, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito:
"Yuzhu...Brother Yuzhu, I...I will listen to my parents." There was a bit of panic and uneasiness in her tone, but more of it was the fear of unknown outcomes and the compromise with the status quo.
Yu's father and mother stood aside with satisfied smiles on their faces. They exchanged glances, as if everything was under control.
However, they did not notice that there was a barely perceptible chill in He Yuzhu's eyes, which was a premonition that this relationship was about to come to an end.
