Chapter 31 A man's duty is to love his wife
"Grandma......" Shen Mi was completely panicked, and she didn't know why Lin Meijuan suddenly seemed to know something for a while, and she had to look at her stomach.
"You...... You ......" Lin Meijuan saw that she didn't dare for a long time, and she was already so angry that she couldn't speak.
Shen Mi was at a loss and was about to cry.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, don't be angry, don't be angry, you can't be angry, grandma......" she begged, eager to kneel down and beg her old man.
"You actually ......" Lin Meijuan gasped rapidly, halfway through her words, she was stuck in her throat in one breath, and she rolled her eyes and fainted!
"Grandma, grandma! Grandmother!!! She gave a scream and sat down on the floor.
When the outsiders heard the noise, they quickly pushed the door in, and when they saw the old lady fainting, they were all panicked and unable to speak.
"What are you doing, go and call an ambulance!! Ah Hong, you go and call Mr.! ”
It was Zhang's mother who reacted first, and commanded her subordinates at the top of her voice, and then she rushed to the side of the bed and carefully pressed Lin Meijuan's person.
"Young grandma, what the hell is going on, why did her old man suddenly ......" Mama Zhang pinched several times to no avail, her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but tremble and asked.
"I, I'm ......" Shen Mi's heart was beating fast, she couldn't say a word when she stammered, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up, looking at Lin Meijuan's face getting worse and worse, her whole person was like falling into an ice cave, her hands and feet were cold.
As if a century had passed, the sirens of the ambulances sounded downstairs, and after a while, several white coats carrying stretchers quickly upstairs and carefully carrying the old lady into the car.
Shen Mi followed behind Zhang's mother in despair and stumbled into the ambulance.
The nurses methodically put on an oxygen mask for Lin Meijuan, and asked about the specific situation while measuring her blood pressure and pulse.
Shen Mi only felt that his clothes were soaked with sweat, wet and sticking to his body, and it was extremely cold.
Zhang's mother's mobile phone rang, she quickly explained the situation, and then the other party seemed to ask something, she glanced at Shen Mi, and replied: "...... in the ambulance"
Shen Mi couldn't care about anything else now, and only prayed that Lin Meijuan was okay, otherwise she might have a troubled conscience for the rest of her life.
From the nurse's words, Shen Mi intuitively felt that Lin Meijuan's condition was not very good, so she stumbled behind and chased all the way to the door of the rescue room, only to be stopped.
Weakness under her legs, she took a step back and sat on her knees.
Zhang's mother was startled, and she was worried about helping her up, "Young grandma, you sit, they will come in a while!" ”
Shen Mi gritted his teeth, and as soon as he lowered his head, the bean-sized tears fell on the back of his hand like beads with broken threads.
"It's all my fault...... It's all my bad ......."
She couldn't vent the sourness in her heart, she muttered, whimpered in a low voice, and cried so much that Zhang's mother was at a loss, so she had to wipe her tears on the side.
"The old lady will be fine, will be fine......"
I don't know how long later, the door of the rescue room was opened, Lin Meijuan was pushed out in a coma, and she got up from the ground with a sigh of relief and cowered to the side of the bed.
"The patient suffered cardiac arrest, fortunately, the rescue was timely and there was no major problem, and the specific situation will be done after the patient wakes up."
Shen Mi let out a long sigh of relief when he heard this, silently lowered his head, stroked his violently beating chest and gasped, unable to speak for a long time.
After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps around, and Xi Yingjie's family was supporting the frightened Xi Chongjin, followed by various relatives, and hurried over.
Shen Mi wiped a handful of tears, didn't dare to look at their faces, and hung his head silently.
Fortunately, no one had time to take care of her now, and they all rushed into Lin Meijuan's hospital room anxiously, Xi Lie and Song Shuwen ran briskly behind, Shen Mi glanced at him and couldn't speak.
Xi Lie hurriedly patted her on the shoulder, and then squeezed into the ward with a worried face.
Xi Chongjin shouted angrily from inside: "How can a good person be like this!" ”
Zhang's mother cowered and explained, saying that she didn't know either, it was Shen Mi......
Shen Mi's heart was like ashes, and the pestle was motionless in the corridor, as if he was waiting for the accountability of Xi Chongjin's family.
"Dad, don't be angry, now is the time to pursue this, you and Mom have to take care of your health!!" Xi Yingjie hurriedly persuaded him, and the ward became a pot of porridge for a while.
Xi Chongjin was so angry that he was persuaded by everyone to sit aside and gasp, Xi Yingjie gritted his teeth, withdrew from the ward, and called Shen Mi aside.
"Daughter-in-law, you were the only one at the time, you said! What's going on! ”
Shen Mi lowered his head, "I don't know how, grandma seems to know, my stomach is ......"
"Why are you so careless!!" Xi Yingjie roared, as if he was angry, but he was afraid that everyone would say more, so he opened and closed his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.
"Dad, it's not me, it's not me...... I don't know how grandma knows, but it's really not me......" Shen Mi shook his head, feeling very aggrieved, and couldn't help but argue.
Originally, she was also ready to be angry at each other, but when she was really reprimanded, she felt unbearable, and more was wronged.
"You ......." Xi Yingjie sighed heavily, finally shook his hand, didn't say anything, and went back to the ward.
Shen Mi leaned against the cold wall, his mind was chaotic, and he hung his head in despair.
A pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in front of her, and she looked up listlessly to meet the deep eyes of the upper seat.
Somehow, compared to Xi Yingjie and them, she was more afraid of saying those words that made her feel aggrieved from Xi Lie's mouth.
Xi Lie sighed, looked at her crying red face, sweat-soaked hair, stretched out his long arms, and hugged her into his arms.
"Frightened, huh? It's all right......"
He comforted her in a deep voice, and patted her wet back with his big hand.
Somehow, the emotions that had been collapsing so well just now seemed to be out of control suddenly, and her nose was sore, and she cried in his arms.
"It's not me, woo, it's not me......"
"I know." Xi Lie's arms tightened, stroking her head soothingly, and whispering.
Shen Mi cried even more when she heard this, and the tears that gushed out soon wet a large part of Xi Lie's black shirt, Xi Lie picked up her face, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and carefully wiped her tears.
"Don't cry, no one blames you, huh?"
Shen Mi nodded, and finally stopped crying, but couldn't stop sobbing quietly.
"I, I really...... I'm scared to death, I was really scared just now......" she said with a sob, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and Xi Lie's brows were tufted when she saw it, and her heart was heavy and painful.
After comforting her for a long time, she stopped crying and stabilized.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Song Shuwen was clubbing not far from them with a worried face, with a dark expression on his face.
"Alie, uncle called you." She exclaimed.
Hearing this, Xi Lie gently patted Shen Mi's shoulder, and his subordinates pulled her into the ward.
There were a lot of people inside, and they were speechless at this moment, and when they saw Shen Milai, some people's eyes were like sharp swords, wandering away from her, as if she had become a murderer who had harmed Lin Meijuan like this.
"Let's all go back and rest, here, let's just watch."
Xi Yingjie said to everyone, and then called his own driver to arrange everyone's itinerary, and for a while, the relatives in the ward were almost gone, leaving only their family and Song Shuwen, who was unwilling to leave, much quieter.
Shen Mi always hung his head and didn't say a word.
Chen Man stepped forward and patted her hand, "Daughter-in-law, your father was also in a hurry just now, so he said a few words to you, don't take it to heart." ”
Shen Mi shook his head when he heard this, and did not squeak.
Xi Yingjie's expression was not very good, his face was tense on the side, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Now that the guests are gone, tell me, what's going on?" Xi Chongjin finally stabilized, frowned, and asked with a cold face.
Xi Lie was a little displeased when he heard this, and pulled Shen Mi behind him with a big hand.
"Grandpa, this is my wife, your granddaughter-in-law, I'm afraid your tone is not appropriate."
When Shen Mi heard this, it was fake not to be moved, but she really didn't want to make their family even more discordant because of herself, so she silently pulled Xi Lie's sleeve and signaled him to stop talking.
Xi Lie was unrelenting, and his resolute face tightened, "There was such a big thing, and Mi'er was scared like this, not only did everyone not care about her, but they interrogated her as a sinner, I married her to enter the door, did I come to suffer this kind of anger?" ”
Xi Lie ...... Don't say it......" Shen Mi didn't expect that he, who had always been respectful and obedient to the elders in the family, would lose such a big temper at this time, and he was a little panicked for a while.
"In that case, I'll just move out of the old house with her!" With a wave of his hand, he called Chen Ming and asked Chen Ming to go back to help pack his luggage.
"You!" The family obviously didn't expect Xi Lie to come out like this, and their hearts sank and they couldn't speak.
Song Shuwen quickly grabbed Xi Lie, "What are you doing?" ”
Xi Lie quietly shook off her hand, and was about to leave with Shen Mi with a panicked face.
"Stop!" Xi Yingjie knocked the floor hard with his cane, "Your grandma hasn't woken up yet, where are you going!" ”
"Lie'er, why don't you wait until grandma wakes up? This, this ......" Chen Man came out to be a peacemaker, and said softly.
"We don't mean to blame our daughter-in-law, isn't it that grandma is like this, everyone is anxious......"
Xi Lie pursed his lips tightly and frowned.
"I won't say anything else, this is my daughter-in-law, the most basic responsibility of a man is to love his wife, this is also what you taught, if anyone wants her to be wronged, I will be the first to disagree!"
Every word, every word, loud and sound.
"Yes, yes, don't be angry, look at the daughter-in-law who is frightened." Chen Man said, pushing Shen Mi, who couldn't come back to his senses, Shen Mi came over, grabbed his arm with his little hand, and shook it silently.
I don't know why he is so angry all of a sudden, she is moved, but she is also afraid, in case everyone sees her as an enemy who confuses the army's heart, and does not wait to see her, it will not be good.
"I, I'm really not wronged......" she muttered quietly, Xi Lie glanced at her and couldn't help frowning again.
"Trouble the second elder to see what scared my daughter-in-law into it!"
"Ahh Shen Mi frowned, and slapped him on the arm in a hurry, "It's all right!" ”
Xi Yingjie's expression was a little relaxed, this eldest son, who has always been filial and well-behaved, suddenly lost his temper for the first time in more than 30 years, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"That...... It's my father's fault, I was too anxious just now, and I spoke a little rushed, my daughter-in-law don't mind! ”
Shen Mi was taken aback, how dare she let her parents admit her mistakes, so she had to wave her hand again and again, with an embarrassing smile on her face.
"Yes, it was because I didn't take good care of my grandmother that this happened, and you should teach me a lesson......."
Xi Lie's expression was a little better, and he took Shen Mi into his arms domineeringly, and his deep eyes swept others a few times, and finally fell on Zhang's mother.
"Mom Zhang, you said, is it Mi'er's grandmother who is displeased?"
Zhang's mother, who was named, was frightened and shook her head quickly, "No, no, the old lady was not in a good mood before she called the young lady over......"
Xi Lie's expression turned cold when he heard this, and he was just about to open his mouth to speak, but Shen Mi jumped up and covered his mouth.
"Say a few words, you!" She muttered as she made her lips.
Because Xi Lie stepped forward and finally saved the day, although the family was frightened, no one dared to say that Shen Mi was no.
There was silence in the room, except for the ticking of the instruments.
"You all go back first, me and Mi'er are here." Xi Lie spoke, and they all stopped talking, as if they were afraid of this tempered young master.
"You can go back too!" This sentence was said to Song Shuwen, who had been silent on the side.
Song Shuwen stood up, her eyes lingered on several people, and finally she didn't speak, and silently withdrew from the ward.
"Xi Lie, I know you just wanted to defend me, but don't lose your temper in front of your family in the future, I'm fine......" Shen Mi pulled him to the side and sat down, looked at Lin Meijuan on the hospital bed, and sighed faintly.
Xi Lie nodded and didn't speak, so he agreed.
"Also, I don't want to move for the time being, I'm going to live in the old house." Shen Mi blinked and said extremely seriously.
Xi Lie frowned when he heard this, "Why?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to accompany my grandmother and ask her to forgive me." Shen Mi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said lightly.
"It's not your fault, forgive what?" He was displeased.
"Oh, we're living in the old house, okay?" I couldn't tell him clearly, so she had to pat his arm and snort.
"Whatever you want." Xi Lie nodded and agreed.
Shen Mi tugged at the corners of her mouth, not for anything else, she wanted to see who wanted to cause trouble in such a big Xi family's old mansion, and almost hurt her old man by ventilating the old lady!
It's just a time when no one is there!
Doesn't this make it clear that you want to put on small shoes for her?
Fortunately, the old lady is okay today, and Xi Lie is also firmly on her side, if it weren't for this, she really wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks and questions of this big family!
After sitting in the ward for an afternoon, Lin Meijuan did not wake up.
Chen Man and Zhang's mother brought a lot of food from home, for fear that they would be hungry in the hospital, she looked at Xi Lie's face and sat down in front of them silently.
"Daughter-in-law, eat more......" she said softly.
"Mom, haven't notified my sister-in-law yet?" Xi Lie helped Shen Mi hold the meat, frowned and asked.
Chen Man shook his head when he heard this, "No one answered the call, and I don't know if I haven't ......woken up after drinking too much."
Shen Mi rolled his eyes and didn't speak.
In fact, she was very curious in her heart, how did this second uncle die, and why didn't her sister-in-law come forward on such an important day......
"I'll let Chen Ming go over and have a look later." Xi Lie sighed and said.
For a while, neither of them spoke anymore, as if on such days, Xi Yingyue's name was a taboo.
"Sleepy?"
After the meal, seeing her rubbing her sour eyes, Xi Lie asked softly.
"Not sleepy, not sleepy!" She shook her head, thinking about how to ask the questions she wanted to ask.
"Xi Lie, on such an important day, sister-in-law, she ......" Why didn't she come to the four words, she really couldn't say it, so she had to swallow it back.
Xi Lie was stunned, obviously not expecting her to ask such a question.
"Almost every year today, she is so drunk that she doesn't go to the cemetery with us, but goes by herself."
"Why?" Shen Mi blinked and asked curiously.
"Second Uncle...... After attending my sister-in-law's twentieth birthday party, she died in a car accident. Xi Lie sighed inaudibly and lowered his eyes.
"......," Shen Mi nodded silently.
recalled in his mind what Xi Chongjin said that day, the murderer changed from probation to indefinite, and it seemed that Xi Lie didn't seem to know the reason......
Just as she was in her fugue, a rapid sound of high heels sounded, and after a while, Xi Yingyue pushed the door in the dust.
Glancing at Lin Meijuan on the bed, she sighed and sat down on the chair next to her without saying a word.
Shen Mi saw that her face was a little pale, and her eyes were a little swollen, as if she didn't have time to put on makeup when she went out in a hurry, and the whole person looked very unenergetic.
"Sister-in-law......" Shen Mi called her softly, she didn't answer, just lowered her head and took out a cigarette from her bag, and then seemed to realize that this was in the hospital, and raised her hand and threw it into the trash can on the side.
Xi Lie patted Shen Mi's shoulder, and then pulled her outside the ward.
"Leave her alone for a while." Xi Lie said, and sat down on the bench outside.
After a while, Chen Ming hurried over, glanced at Shen Mi, and whispered a few words to Xi Lie, who nodded and motioned for him to retreat first.
"I'll go out to run some errands, and I'll be back soon, and I'll let Chen Ming stay here." Xi Lie stood up as he spoke, glanced at Chen Ming, and left in a hurry.
"Chen Ming......" Shen Mi looked at his departing back, and his gaze drifted to Chen Ming's body faintly.
"Sister-in-law, please instruct!!" Chen Ming tugged at the corners of his mouth and replied seriously.
Shen Mi blinked, trying to make herself as amiable as possible but impossible to refuse.
"I'll ask you something!"
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, then nodded briskly, "Sister-in-law, please ask, you know everything!" ”
"Who is the person who came to Xi Lie yesterday? What does it look like? ”
She always felt that she seemed to have some misunderstanding, if Liu Chenyi really came, how could there be no movement at all, his character, daring to come to Xi Lie for a showdown, would have already made a fuss, so quiet, not like his style at all.
"Yesterday...... It's a man! Chen Ming blinked and said with a hearty smile.
"Of course I know it's a man, what does it look like?" Shen Mi sighed helplessly, obviously feeling that he was hiding it.
"Not tall, chubby ......" couldn't resist her, Chen Ming had to humble cautiously.
"Shouldn't it be tall and skinny?" Shen Mi was a little confused.
Chen Ming shook his head, "No, it's a middle-aged man." ”
Shen Mi was a little foggy.
The middle-aged man, fat, not tall, is obviously not Liu Chenyi's guy, but more like ...... Director Yang!
She felt a chill on her back, and goosebumps began to get all over her body.
I couldn't help but stand up, "Where did Xi Lie go now?" What did you just tell him? ”
Chen Ming didn't know what happened to her suddenly, she blinked her big innocent eyes, her mouth opened and closed, and she didn't know whether to say it or not.
"You don't say I'll ask him myself!" Shen Mi said, and was about to take out his mobile phone to call Xi Lie.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, stop fighting, my eldest brother is dealing with things! The man who came to him yesterday made him angry, and then he found out about someone else's case, at this time, people called him over......" Chen Ming was anxious, and couldn't help but tell it all.
Director Yang actually came to find Xi Lie!
What kind of intentions she had, she didn't have to think about it to know.
"He came to talk to Xi Lie, what did he say?" Shen Mi's hands were clenched into fists, and his fingernails were embedded in the flesh, and he didn't feel any pain.
"I don't know what to say, anyway, it didn't take long for my eldest brother to ask me to pick you up, sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" Chen Ming saw that her expression was not good, and his heart also panicked.
After a while, Major General Xi saw that his wife was angry again, and if he didn't take him, he couldn't do anything!
"It's fine." Shen Mi opened his mouth, finally sighed, and hung his head wordlessly.
Silently pacing back to the ward, she found that Xi Yingyue was tilting her head as if she was thinking about something important, her eyes were red, reflecting the lights in the room, shining, like ...... Tears.
Somehow, one of her hearts was also very uncomfortable.
。
It had been more than an hour later when Xi Lie came, and he rushed back with hot porridge in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, eat something." As he spoke, he put the porridge and side dishes next to Xi Yingyue, and then retreated back and helped Shen Mi put everything he could eat.
Shen Mi didn't have much of an appetite.
Director Yang came to tell him something, this kind of question has been on her lips, and she swallowed it back several times, like a fish in her throat.
Seeing that he was meticulous to her as if nothing had happened, thinking that he was protecting her in everything today, her heart suddenly gave birth to some strange feelings for no reason.
She thinks that she has always been sleek and sophisticated, and she also tries to please their Xi family, but it does not mean that she is a rash person.
"No matter how stunned I am, the food will be cold." Xi Lie patted her on the shoulder, regaining her senses.
She didn't answer, just silently picked up the slightly cold porridge, one bite after another, and ate it very fragrantly, which made someone very satisfied.
"I'll go back to sleep later." He stroked her head with satisfaction, "It's been a hard day. ”
Shen Mi shook his head silently, "I'm going to be with you." ”
"You two go! There is also a forty-year-old unmarried sister-in-law watching here. Xi Yingyue sorted out her emotions at some point, sniffed, and waved her hand impatiently at them.
Shen Mi saw that she finally seemed to regain a little vitality, and her heart relaxed a little, so she dared to call her, "Sister-in-law......"
"Yes." Xi Yingyue replied, then glanced at the dinner that Xi Lie had brought over, and frowned dissatisfiedly.
"You, come here!" She beckoned to Chen Ming, who had been standing straight on the side, Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at Xi Lie, and then walked up to her in a few big strides.
"Brother-in-law, please instruct!"
To put it out of place, Shen Mi was really almost amused by this stunned young man.
Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows, and with an expression of what kind of person this person came from, she glanced at Chen Ming several times.
“...... You go downstairs in the alley, buy two oysters for your eldest brother, and bring me a roast pigeon from the north corner, plus two beers. As she spoke, she took out a few hundred-yuan bills from her wallet and handed them to Chen Ming, who couldn't come back to her senses.
"Why are you stunned?" Xi Yingyue blinked and raised her chin at Chen Ming.
"Roger!" Chen Ming replied, turned around in a standard military posture, and ran away from the ward.
"Lie'er, what's so strange about your soldiers? The stupid appearance is really a fight with you! ”
Xi Yingyue is Xi Yingyue, and her mouth is definitely not recognized by her six relatives.
In the end, he was well-trained, and it didn't take long for Chen Ming to run back with a large bag and a small bag, and he didn't even breathe.
"Big brother's sister-in-law, this is something you want to buy!" Chen Ming very carefully put the food for Xi Yingyue on the coffee table on the side.
Xi Yingyue glanced at it, frowning slightly.
"Where's my wine?!"
Chen Ming blinked, and neatly placed the remaining pile of change on the table.
"Report to the eldest brother's sister-in-law, I don't think this is a suitable occasion for drinking!"
Xi Yingyue's face tightened when she heard this, and she stared at him with disgust.
"I want to drink, please help, you just buy it, where do you get so many opinions!" There was some displeasure in her tone, she was very annoying all day today, Lin Meijuan had this kind of thing again, she wanted to drink at this time, and she had to be picked on by this stunned young man, which made her a little annoyed.
"Big brother said, as subordinates, we also have the right and obligation to speak up for justice!" Chen Ming replied without hesitation, his momentum like a rainbow, "I personally think that it is not suitable to drink alcohol in the hospital!" ”
Shen Mi looked at Xi Yingyue's dark face, and carefully pulled the corners of Xi Lie's clothes, who knew that Xi Lie seemed to think that the sister-in-law who beat the back of his head every day was so stunned that she couldn't speak was worth watching, but the old god was sitting on the ground, like a melon-eating crowd waiting for a good show.
Xi Yingyue looked at Chen Ming, who didn't know that she had caused trouble, and raised her hand to slap her hand on the coffee table, which scared Shen Mi into a bald slur.
"Little brother, I'm in my forties, and I'm the same generation as your mother, you know?! I'm an elder too! How do you talk to your elders? Xi Yingyue said and stood up leisurely, because she was already tall and tall and stepped on high heels, she looked like Chen Ming, who was more than one meter and eight.
Chen Ming was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know if he was suppressed by Xi Yingyue's momentum.
was silent for a long time, and when everyone thought that Xi Yingyue had won another battle, Chen Ming took a few steps back and looked at Xi Yingyue very seriously.
"Report to the eldest brother's sister-in-law, you look like a twenty-year-old girl, you don't look like an elder at all!!"
......
