After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

After Feng Jinshuo finished drinking the water, his mother, Liu Yan'e, sent Chunzao and Chunmiao to the kitchen to cook, leaving only her third daughter, Song Chunping, and son, Chunsheng.

After thinking for a moment, she smiled and looked at her son-in-law, saying, "Jin Suo, how have you felt about your marriage to Chun Tao all these years?"

Feng Jinshuo immediately stood up and said earnestly, "Mom has always been incredibly good to me. Back when our family was so poor, you ignored what others said and still let Chuntao marry me. Without Mom's support, I probably wouldn't have been able to marry Chuntao."

Liu Yan'e nodded in satisfaction. "Being poor for a while doesn't mean you're truly poor. At the time, Mom felt comfortable letting Chun Tao marry you because she thought you were a good person with a skill, and you treated Chun Tao well."

"Now that your lives are getting better day by day, and thinking back on my decision, I realize I was right."

Feng Jinshuo smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Now that I've married Chuntao and have several children, of course I want them to live a good life."

Liu Yan'e smiled. "With you saying that, Mom is relieved!"

Then, she changed the subject and said, "When Chun Tao came over just now, she looked aggrieved and said a bunch of nonsense."

"To be honest, Mom doesn't believe everything she said. Now that you're here, could you tell me the truth so Mom can feel at ease?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jinshuo swallowed hard, then said in a childish manner, "Mom, I know it was wrong of me to steal money from home without discussing it with Chuntao."

"But I've never done anything to wrong Chunmiao, and I certainly haven't given money to any random woman!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'e looked up at Chunping and Chunsheng standing beside her and smiled calmly.

Chunping immediately understood what her mother meant; this was a coded message to her!

There are some things that are not really appropriate for my mother, as an elder, to ask.

Therefore, this task could only fall on her.

After understanding her mother's meaning, Song Chunping immediately began her performance, "Mom, look, I just said that my brother-in-law is definitely not that kind of person. He is so upright, how could he do such a thing?"

"Brother-in-law, could you please tell me where all the money you took from home went?"

"As long as it's used for the right thing, no matter how much your older sister makes a fuss, Mom will definitely side with you!"

"It's definitely the right path!"

After saying this firmly, Feng Jinshuo scratched his head and quickly explained, "That money... was for my mother's medical treatment!"

Liu Yan'e immediately looked surprised and asked, "You mean that money was used for my mother-in-law's medical treatment?"

Feng Jinshuo said with a wronged expression, "Yes, my mother fell ill a few days ago, and neither of my brothers could raise that much money, so I..."

Song Chunping asked, somewhat puzzled, "Since it's for my aunt's medical treatment, and not just a waste of money, why can't you tell my older sister the truth?"

At this moment, Song Chuntao, who had been eavesdropping inside, immediately ran out and answered for her husband, "Because we separated the family, his mother lives with his two brothers, and we live separately!"

"Is that why?" Song Chunping asked Feng Jinsuo.

Feng Jinshuo stammered, "Last time, Chuntao saw me give my mom five yuan and scolded me. She didn't speak to me for several days afterward, so I was afraid she would scold me this time, which is why I haven't said anything!"

Now everything is clear; it was all a misunderstanding.

Although it was a misunderstanding, it made Liu Yan'e, the mother-in-law, feel very uncomfortable.

She had initially thought Chun Tao had suffered a great injustice, but now it seemed to be her own daughter's problem.

She's too calculating and too immature.

Thinking that her daughter had done something wrong, Liu Yan'e immediately looked at Chun Tao with a cold face, "That's where you're wrong. Even if you've separated the family, you still have to be filial to your elders. You can't just completely ignore your mother-in-law because you've separated the family."

"You need to think about it yourself. Your mother-in-law has had a hard life. Jin Suo only has one mother. You should be happy that she is so filial. How can you argue with her over a few dollars?"

"If you were all like me, after you sisters all got married and became someone else's family, you wouldn't care about me anymore!"

Song Chuntao was scolded by her mother, Liu Yan'e, and didn't dare to say a word, listening with her head down the whole time.

Liu Yan'e glanced at the injuries on Feng Jinsuo's face and became even more furious. "Look at what you've done to Jinsuo's face! How is he supposed to go out in public like this?!"

"Mom, I was just angry at the time, I never imagined that I would scratch his face like that..."

Song Chuntao started crying again halfway through her sentence.

When Feng Jinshuo saw that his wife knew she was wrong and was crying so sadly, all the anger he had been holding in on the way there vanished instantly.

He grabbed the tattered sleeve draped over his arm and began wiping away Song Chuntao's tears.

Seeing that her daughter and husband had reconciled, Liu Yan'e sighed and said, "They're both so old, yet they still act like children. They're such a worry."

"Alright! Since everything's alright, hurry back home. The kids are still there; we don't want anything to happen to them!"

Song Chuntao wiped away her tears and looked at her mother, saying, "Jin Suo's sister is helping to look after the child. Why don't we wait until we finish eating before going back?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'e immediately became angry. "What are you eating for? Go eat at your own home! You've done something so bad, it's already a miracle you weren't punished, and you still want to eat?"

Feng Jinshuo quickly laughed and said, "No, we can't eat anymore. The kids are still at home; let's hurry home!"

After seeing off their eldest daughter, Song Chuntao, and her husband, the third daughter, Song Chunping, pulled her mother, Liu Yan'e, to the east room of the main hall and whispered, "Mom, I think we should take Chunsheng to the county hospital when we have some time!"

"Xiaocheng has a classmate who is a doctor at the provincial military hospital. I heard him say before that even if a person who has drowned survives, they may still suffer from long-term health problems!"

Liu Yan'e quickly asked, "What kind of aftereffects might occur?"

Song Chunping shook her head. "I've forgotten the specifics, but I remember the most serious one can cause paralysis!"

"That powerful?"

Liu Yan'e was immediately startled, and then said, "But Chunsheng has been perfectly fine these past two days, nothing's wrong with him!"

"And just a couple of days ago, your dad went to the old blind fortune teller for a divination, who said that Chunsheng is destined for good fortune in times of trouble, and that everything will go smoothly for him from now on..."

Before Liu Yan'e could finish speaking, her daughter Chunping interrupted her, "Mom, what era are we living in? How can you still believe in that stuff!"

"You really need to take Chunsheng to the hospital to get him checked out as soon as possible. It would be best if everything was alright, but if they find something wrong, we can get treatment right away and not delay Chunsheng's treatment!"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Liu Yan'e immediately became anxious. "But your father and I have never been to the county hospital before, and even if we did, we wouldn't know who to look for!"

Chunping gently patted her mother's shoulder a few times and said with a smile, "It's no problem. You can have Chunsheng take a day off and bring him to my place. I'll take you there then..."
