Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Chapter 209 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors

When the nurse came to change the dressing in the afternoon, I was able to see clearly the injury on my left calf.

Not only was the wound several times more swollen than my right calf, it also looked quite hideous.

The entire side was stitched together like a big inverted "U", with several small wounds around it.

The nurse said as she applied medicine to me, "When we were stitching you up, three nurses were replaced as assistants. They were all new interns. It was their first time seeing such a scene, and they were so scared that they started to cry."

I endured the pain and bent my waist to look at my legs.

"You're not afraid." The nurse said with a smile.

“Why should I be afraid of my own leg…” Maybe to relieve the pain, I actually counted the stitches on the wound, “How long will it take to remove the stitches…”

My voice was trembling and I was forced to stop counting. The pain was unbearable. If Ms. Lin hadn't been holding down my legs, I would have kicked the nurse away because of the pain reaction.

Ms. Lin looked at me with eyes full of pity, but she didn't loosen her grip at all.

"It depends on your physical condition. It usually takes seven to ten days to recover. Removing the stitches is easy. Teacher Lin can do it for you herself." She skillfully wrapped the gauze around me. "Fortunately, it's past the hottest time now, otherwise your serious wound would have become inflamed."

When she said Teacher Lin, I didn’t react for a while. I was thinking that none of Ms. Lin’s brothers and sisters had ever been a teacher except my aunt. It wasn’t until my uncle in a white coat opened the door and came in that I reacted…

I smiled with a pale face: "Hello, Teacher Lin!"

Teacher Lin had a gloomy face and said nothing. He walked over to see the results of the nurse's bandaging.

Teacher Lin nodded, and the nurse pushed the cart out, still without saying a word.

"Uncle, have you ever cried?" I saw redness in the corners of my uncle's eyes.

"No." Teacher Lin said stubbornly.

I pouted my lips in disbelief.

"How could your uncle not cry? When you were sent to the hospital, he was covered in blood. Your uncle was seeing patients at the time. When he heard the news, he ran over and almost fell down." Ms. Lin hugged my shoulders, "Brother, don't think I didn't see you locking yourself in the office and crying several times."

"You didn't cry! And you still blame me!" My uncle started to get angry.

"How can I not cry when my own daughter is injured like this!"

"That's my niece too!"

"Alright, alright, I can hear you two arguing from far away. One is the biological mother and the other is the biological uncle, and you are not afraid of disturbing the child's rest."

I heard her voice before I saw her, and I shouted to the door, "Second Auntie!"

Second aunt Lin Huangmei pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, her hair full of silver hair.

Tears filled her eyes unconsciously. Ms. Lin thought the wound was hurting again and asked me hurriedly, "How is it?"

"No..." I smiled and blinked my eyes to stop the tears from falling. "I haven't seen my second aunt for a long time. I miss her very much."

"It's only been half a year since we last met. Look how close my daughter is to me. It's not in vain." Second Aunt sat by the bed and held my hand. "My Lin Lin has been through so much pain..."

The second aunt is only two years older than my uncle, but judging from her appearance, she looks like a different generation from my uncle, Ms. Lin. Not only is her hair full of white, her face is also covered with wrinkles, and her hands are as thin as sticks.

Second Aunt never went to school and was illiterate, which was totally unreasonable in the Lin family. Ms. Lin said that she refused to go to school no matter what, and her grandfather hung her upside down in the well to force her to go to school, but she refused to go, and her grandfather had no choice but to give in.

My second aunt lived a happy life in the first half of her life. In her own words, she had enjoyed all the blessings in the first half of her life, so she suffered all the time. My second aunt was fine in the first few years of her marriage, until my second uncle fell ill.

Before getting married, my second uncle's family concealed the genetic history of epilepsy. Not long after my second aunt gave birth to my second cousin, my second uncle became ill and has been paralyzed in bed ever since. My second aunt's miserable days also began...

For so many years, my second aunt never went anywhere, and she rarely came to the county. She stayed at her home, worked on the farm, took care of my uncle and raised two sons... My second aunt was very clean, and took good care of my uncle, who never had a bedsore. It was not easy for me to take care of my second uncle until he died. My eldest brother got married and had children, and my second brother's work was also going well. He just needed to get married, and good days were coming soon...

My second cousin also got sick, and his condition was exactly the same as my second uncle’s.

My uncle had examined my two cousins ​​a long time ago, and fortunately, both sons were fine.

But in the end, my second cousin still couldn't escape.

Second Aunt accepted her fate. She already took care of her old man, so why should she take care of her son? So she took good care of my second cousin for another two years.

The second aunt accepted her fate, thinking that the eldest cousin and his wife could earn money and were willing to bear all the expenses for her younger brother. But the second cousin did not think so.

He had witnessed his mother's hard work for so many years and did not want to bring trouble to her, let alone affect his elder brother's hard-earned happy life. On a rainy morning, while his second aunt was making breakfast, he desperately crawled to the small room where the farm tools were kept, drank pesticide, and ended his life...

My second aunt was extremely upset and her hair turned white overnight...

In the eyes of others, my second cousin was liberated, and my second aunt's family was also liberated, and even I thought so at that time.

But even though she seems to be liberated, how can she ever get rid of the shackles in her heart? As a mother, how can Second Aunt let go of the pain of watching her son die in front of her?

This was the first time I saw my second aunt after my rebirth. In their minds, we had only not seen each other for half a year, but including my previous life, I had not seen her for two or three years. How could I miss her...

"It's okay. We Linlin have endured the hardships first, and the days ahead will be good." Second Aunt's rough hands gently wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of my eyes, "Are the pancakes Second Aunt baked delicious? Are the pickles that your eldest brother brought over delicious?"

I nodded.

Second Aunt smiled and said, "They are all baked in the big pot on the stove in my hometown. How can they not be delicious? I'll bake them for you when I get home!"

My second aunt is not well educated, but she is simple and honest and understands the most basic principles of being a human being. It was from her that I first learned that academic qualifications do not represent one's character.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and Uncle Yuan and Sister Fangfang's family walked in, carrying large bags and small items.

"It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Look at your neighbors, they are much more reliable than some relatives!" Second Aunt knew them all and stood up to greet them happily.

I sat on the bed and greeted everyone one by one. Daping said in a casual tone, "I met Xin Yuan and his partner at the hospital gate. They were picking fruits for you. What were they picking? We brought them all to you! Chenglin, don't be polite to your brother and sister. Just tell us what you want to eat."

Then he turned to Ms. Lin and said, "Sister Qingmei, you should eat too. You have been working so hard these past few days. It's exhausting enough just to deal with those villains!"

I call them brother and sister, and they call Ms. Lin sister. I can't help but laugh secretly, this is such a mess of seniority~
