Chapter 593: The Truth Back Then
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“When you gave birth to your second child, it was born prematurely. Your eight-month-old stomach fell on the ground. It’s not good to give birth to a child, and your black-hearted mother-in-law took you and the child to walk more than ten miles at night. That night, after the whole family sent you and the child to the hospital, your father and a few younger brothers and sisters went to watch over you. Only I watched over the child.”
Thinking of the scene from back then, Liu Guihua’s eyes glistened with tears.
“So you don’t know that the child died that night. I found your father and wanted to tell you, but at that time, you were bleeding heavily and your condition wasn’t good. When your father and I saw the situation, how could we dare to tell you? We can only hide it at that time.”
Li Zhiming squatted on the ground and touched his waist before withdrawing his hand in embarra.s.sment.
When he was in the countryside, he always had a pipe on his waist.
He didn’t bring it with her when he moved to the city, afraid that people would laugh at him.
However, when he felt upset, he still subconsciously wanted to look for the Pipe.
“Your father and I didn’t want to keep it from you. We wanted to tell you when you got better. Coincidentally, the next morning, your father picked up a little boy at the entrance of the hospital when he was going home to bring you food It was only February at that time, and it was very cold. He was wrapped in a thin blanket, and his small body was frozen black and blue.
There was also a piece of paper in the blanket. Your father had someone look at it. It was written by the child’s biological mother. She said her family’s situation was special and she could not raise the child. She hoped a kind-hearted person would take the child in. At that time, your father didn’t think too much about it. He just felt that the child was pitiful, so he brought him home.”
Liu Guihua raised her eyes and looked at Li Xu, “At that time, you were delirious. Every time you were sober, you would clamor to see the child. In order to make you feel at ease, I took this child to the hospital. Once you see the child, your illness improves. At that time, your brother and sister were all in the hospital accompanying you. No one knew the child had changed. Children all look the same. Your father and I thought…”
“Father, Mother, why are you so muddle-headed?” Li Miao couldn’t help but say before she finished listening.
Gong Wenbai, who was beside her, tugged at the corner of her clothes, hinting at her to watch her words.
However, Li Miao was also a person with a child now. She could naturally understand Li Xu’s suffering.
‘That old woman killed my nephew. How can you act like nothing happened? You even took someone else’s child to deceive my sister. How could you do such a thing?”
Liu Guihua lowered her head, “We were in the wrong for this matter. But at that time, it was a freak combination of factors…”
At that time, they did not think too much about it. They just hoped Li Xu would get better.
Later on, Li Xu indeed got better. After being in a daze for so long, the child had grown a lot, so Li Xu did not notice anything wrong with the child.
Looking at their daughter’s happy face, they couldn’t tell her the truth. They didn’t want their daughter to suffer the pain of losing her son, so they thought it was better to just let it be.
Anyway, things had already come to this. Even if she knew the truth, it wouldn’t change anything.
Li Yong muttered, “No wonder, no wonder Father would go to a small grave to burn incense every year. It turns out…”
When Li Xu heard Li Yong’s words, she could not catch her breath and fainted. Fortunately, they were in the hospital, so Ji Zixuan carried Li Xu and ran to the doctor.
Ji Yuanyuan followed behind.
Qin Xiaomin frowned and slapped Li Yong hard, “Don’t you know how to talk? Why are you saying such sensitive things at such time? Have you grown stupid from farming?”
Initially, Big Sister was already worried about Zi’ang and Brother-in-law, and now she knew that Zi’ang was not her biological son.
Originally, Big Sister’s attention was on the fact that Zi’ang was not her biological son. Although she was sad, it was fine.
Li Yong had to remind her that her biological child had died for 21 years.
How could Big Sister take the shock of being at the end of the stick?
Li Yong didn’t have the mood to care about what Qin Xiaomin said. He also chased after her and didn’t forget to instruct Li Miao and the others, “You guys stay here and take care of Father and Mother.”
The surgery had turned into a farce.
Qin Xiaomin stood rooted to the ground, looking at her guilty in-laws, not knowing what to say.
Why couldn’t they wait until after the surgery and go home to talk about such a big matter?
It had to be at this time and place.
A moment later, she sighed.
This secret had been in her parents-in-law’s stomach for twenty-one years. Presumably, the two of them had been holding it in for a long time.
At this point, it was useless to blame anyone.
Li Xu naturally did not have much of a problem, she was just anxious.
The doctor gave her an IV drip and she woke up less than half an hour later.
As soon as she woke up, Li Xu asked impatiently, “What time is it? Is the surgery over?”
“It’s only been half an hour, it’s still early,” Ji Yuanyuan explained.”
Li Xu raised her hand and was about to pull out the needle on the back of her hand, “No, I have to go up and take a look.”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly held her free hand, “It won’t affect anything even if you’re receiving an IV drip. Brother, take the bottle down and help me lift it. Let’s go up.” &
As long as she could go up, Li Xu did not say anything else.
Ji Zixuan carried the bottle of medicine all the way to the operating room upstairs.
The liver transplant surgery was considered a major surgery, and it would take five to six hours to complete.
After knowing the truth, Li Xu did not say anything else. She just sat quietly on the chair and looked in the direction of the operating theater without moving. Fortunately, Ji Yuanyuan was there and helped Li Xu remove the needle midway.
The others didn’t say anything and just waited quietly.
The surgery only ended at three o’clock in the afternoon.
The moment the doctor came out, everyone’s heart seemed to be in their throats.
“The surgery went very smoothly, and we’re currently suturing the wound. Someone will tell you about the follow-up precautions.” The doctor left after saying that.
Li Xu’s heart suddenly dropped to the ground. Her entire body seemed exhausted as she sat back on the chair.
Ji Yuanyuan hurried forward and comforted her in a low voice, “Mom, Dad and Second Brother are fine.”
Li Xu turned around and hugged Ji Yuanyuan’s shoulders, crying silently.
On the other side, Zhang family members were also unusually excited. They all looked at the door of the operating room nervously.
A few members of the Li family stood in a corner with complicated expressions on their faces.
Soon, the suturing was over. A young doctor came over and explained to them the things to take note of after the surgery.
Ji Yuanyuan listened carefully, memorizing everything in her heart.
Zhang Kun and Ji Zi’ang were still unconscious, so they quickly pushed into the ward.
The two of them were in the same room. Ji Zixuan had upgraded their room to be more luxurious and larger than the previous one.
Even though there were so many people, it did not feel crowded at all.
The Li family members were gathered around Ji Zi’ang’s bed, while the Zhang family members all gathered around Zhang Kun’s bed..
