Chapter 51: Zhao Xiumei ~ Injured
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhao Xiumei was even angrier when she heard this. She simply sat on the ground looking aggrieved, not bothering to get up.
“A little girl dares to climb all over my head? I’ve lived my life in vain!” she wailed loudly.
“It seems that Grandma has the genes of someone from the countryside in her bones. Grandma looks especially like an old woman from the countryside now. They are like this when they quarrel.”
Lan Anran smiled indifferently.
“Anran, don’t add to the fire. Grandma is already in such a state, how can you be so senseless? Are you trying to anger her to death?”
Xu Yanshan was dissatisfied.
“Sister-In-Law, Mom, you…”
Li Yueru was about to speak when Zhao Xiumei interrupted, “Lan Tingyun, look at the daughter you are raising. She defied her elders and now, she wants to beat me after just a few words?”
She suddenly stood up and gave Lan Tingyun two more slaps!
Slap! Slap!
“A son that doesn’t learn is his father’s mistake!”
Zhao Xiumei reached out and slapped both sides of Lan Tingyun’s face, which instantly became swollen.
Lan Anran couldn’t take it anymore. Her father was old and Old Mrs. Lan was teaching him a lesson regardless of the occasion. It was too much.
“The fault of a father who doesn’t teach their children? Then is it Grandma’s fault too that my father makes mistakes?”
She slapped Zhao Xiumei twice in the face!
She slapped Old Mrs. Lan the number of times she had slapped her father with equal force.
Zhao Xiumei had been slapped three times by her granddaughter and naturally couldn’t accept it. She was so angry that her face turned green and she roared with a trembling voice, “You insolent thing, you dare to discipline your elders? I’ll kill you today!”
With that, she pounced over, stretched out her long and slender nails, scratching Lan Anran fiercely.
Li Yueru had just recovered from a serious illness and wasn’t in good health to begin with. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was enraged and vomited blood.
“Mom!”
When Lan Anran saw Li Yueru vomiting blood, she couldn’t care less about Old Mrs. Lan. She swung Zhao Xiumei forcefully away and Zhao Xiumei lost her balance. She crashed into a pillar by the side, causing fresh blood to flow!
“Mom!”
Lan Tingyun and Xu Yanshan hurried over to help Zhao Xiumei, who fainted!
Li Yueru had just left the hospital, but now she was going back in again with Zhao Xiumei.
Outside the ward…
Xu Yanshan roared angrily, “You have no manners. You dare to hit your grandma? If anything happens to her, I’ll send you to jail!”
Lan Anran didn’t care about Old Mrs. Lan’s injuries, she was looking for an opportunity to give her mother medicine.
The doctor came out, removing his mask.
“Old Mrs. Lan is old and her body is well-maintained. This time, it was just a light injury on her forehead, but Mrs. Lan’s condition was more serious. She was just discharged from the hospital, but seems to have had a sudden relapse. She needs to recuperate in the hospital for a period of time.”
Lan Tingyun was relieved to hear that his mother was alright, but when he heard that Li Yueru was ill again, he frowned.
“Fortunately, Old Mrs. Lan is alright, or else I would have taught you a lesson!” Xu Yanshan threatened as she sashayed in.
“Dad, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, Mom wouldn’t…”
Lan Anran felt guilty about her mother’s illness. If she had endured it, her mother wouldn’t have ended up like this.
“Anran, you’re not young anymore, remember there are always consequences. No matter what, she is your grandma, you can’t hit her. What if you get injured?”
Lan Tingyun was helpless.
“Dad, Sis just couldn’t take it when she saw you were slapped. All these years, Grandma has been picking on you whenever she isn’t pleased. Why haven’t I seen her move a finger against Uncle? She is clearly biased.”
Lan Yanran pouted, feeling that life was unfair.
“Nonsense! She is my mother and your biological grandmother. It’s her duty to discipline me. In the end, it’s my fault for not educating you well.”
Lan Tingyun took the responsibility. He always thought that Lan Tingyi didn’t have a job and it made sense that his mother favored him. He was a member of the family and should tolerate her.
Besides, Zhao Xiumei was his mother, so it was only right.
“Dad, I’ll go in and see Mom.”
Lan Anran lowered her head in silence.
After entering the ward, Li Yueru lay on the hospital bed again. The herbal soup was no longer effective.
She turned around, took out the reagent, and took out a needle. This was the last bottle she had. She slowly injected it into her mother’s vein.
After the injection, Lan Yanran walked in.
“Sis, what are you doing?”
He thought he saw a shadow, but didn’t know what it was.
“It’s nothing. I was getting a syringe for Mom and it started to drip too quickly.”
Lan Anran explained, hiding the syringe in her sleeve.
“Sis, don’t be sad, it’s not your fault at all. Grandma is old and yet, she doesn’t accept her age. She blames us for her crashing into a pillar.”
Lan Yanran really admired his sister today. He didn’t even dare to look at Old Mrs. Lan.
“It’s alright, I just made Mom sick again. It’s my fault.”
Lan Anran really didn’t think she would ever do this. She had sworn never to make her mother upset, but she had broken her promise this time. She hadn’t been able to protect her mother well.
“Sis, don’t be sad, Mom will get better.”
Lan Yanran patted Lan Anran’s shoulder comfortingly.
“Mmh.”
Lan Anran nodded.
