Jiujiu's consciousness was constantly immersed. The continuous pain made Jiujiu almost unable to tell whether she was awake or in a coma.
She didn't know how long this state lasted. When Jiujiu raised her eyelids again, her eyelids creaked as if her body was falling apart. Hearing the creaking sound, the strong fragrance of the chicken soup came to Jiujiu's nose.
Jiujiu opened her eyes and saw a middle-aged woman with wrinkles all over her face holding a bowl of chicken soup, staring straight at her. Seeing her open her eyes, the woman immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised smile and said, "Juan 'er, you're awake."
Jiujiu frowned and then realized that this middle-aged woman should be Li Juan's mother.
Jiujiu greeted her mother according to Li Juan's habit. Then she lowered her head and drank the chicken soup with the spoon Nanny Li handed to her.
The strong aroma and warmth of the chicken soup made Jiujiu feel as if she had come back to life. At this moment, Father Li, who had been sitting on the side and watching Nanny Li feed Jiujiu the chicken soup, said, "Juan 'er, this time, you and Wang Ke …"
Wang Ke was Li Juan's husband's name.
Before Mr. Li could finish his words, Nanny Li glared at him fiercely, "Juan 'er is weak. Don't say those unpleasant things. If you have nothing to do, go back to farming."
Mr. Li was just about to say something when he was refuted by Nanny Li. Seeing this, Mr. Li didn't continue. He just sighed and said, "Since you don't want to hear it, I won't say it."
Although he said so, Mr. Li's frown showed that he was not as calm as he appeared to be.
Jiujiu drank the chicken soup with Nanny Li's spoon and then said, "Where's Wang Ke?"
Hearing Jiujiu ask about Wang Ke, Nanny Li and Mr. Li's faces darkened.
Logically speaking, Wang Ke should be more anxious than anyone else about what happened to Jiujiu. However, Wang Ke's performance today really made Mr. Li and Nanny Li's hearts turn cold.
The doctor said that when Jiujiu was sent to the hospital, she was covered in blood, especially her face, which was as white as paper. Mr. Li and Nanny Li were even more anxious when they received the call. They immediately asked Wang Ke to do the operation, but Wang Ke refused to sign the papers on the grounds that they had no money.
Mr. Li and Nanny Li were anxious and angry..... Wang Ke was not willing to sign the papers until they promised that they would pay for the operation and maintenance.
Because Wang Ke didn't sign in time, the child who was now dead had a chance to live.
Logically speaking, when such a big thing happened to Jiujiu, the Wang family should also send someone. However, since yesterday, they didn't even send a bowl of water, let alone a person. The Wang family's hearts were as cold as ice water. Nanny Li cried a lot for Jiujiu behind her back.
Although she and Mr. Li were farmers and uneducated, they really loved Li Juan. Even if they were poor, they never lacked food and clothes for Li Juan. Even when Li Juan was in college, her living expenses were as much as those of the children in the city.
But now, the child they loved as much as their sweetheart was nothing in the eyes of others. Mr. Li wanted to slap Wang Ke right away.
However, in their opinion, once a woman married a man, she could only rely on this man for the rest of her life. Moreover, Jiujiu and Wang Ke's marriage had already emptied their family's assets. If they really divorced Wang Ke, the 100,000 yuan of 200,000 yuan would be wasted.
200,000 yuan almost cost them more than half of their life.

In their eyes, 100,000 yuan was a huge sum of money.
Moreover, Jiujiu and Wang Ke had been married for less than a year. Even if they were willing to give up 100,000 yuan, Jiujiu would be laughed at by the villagers if they divorced now. Thinking of those villagers who loved to gossip, Nanny Li immediately dismissed the idea of asking Jiujiu to divorce Wang Ke.
However, he could not swallow the anger in his stomach no matter how hard he tried.
After Nanny Li helped Jiujiu drink the chicken soup, she persuaded Jiujiu to sleep for a while to recover her spirit.
Jiujiu had been tortured the whole night yesterday, so she was not in good spirits. After drinking the chicken soup, her eyes kept getting heavier. Nanny Li asked her to sleep for a while, so Jiujiu followed Nanny Li's instructions and closed her eyes.
Hearing that Jiujiu's breathing became deep and slow, Nanny Li whispered to Mr. Li, "Dad, what do you think about Wang Ke …"
Mr. Li sighed deeply. He put his hand in his pocket and was about to smoke. But he remembered that he was in the ward. He took his hand back and said with a frown, "Wang Ke is too cold-hearted. He is unreliable."
"But he has bought a house and Juan is married to him. What will happen to Juan if they divorce?" Nanny Li didn't care about the money, but she cared about Jiujiu. Once she divorced Wang Ke, Jiujiu's reputation would be completely ruined. And it would be really bad if they divorced after less than a year of marriage.
Mr. Li sighed, "I know. But you see, no one from the Wang family has come since Juan's accident. It's like they don't exist."
If only one person from the Wang family came, he wouldn't have this idea. Especially when he tentatively asked Wang Ke to accompany Jiujiu in the hospital last night, Wang Ke's face changed in an instant.
Thinking of Wang Ke yelling that he had to go to work tomorrow, Mr. Li's heart was blocked.
What did he mean by he had to go to work tomorrow?
Now Jiujiu was like this. Which was more important, going to work or Jiujiu?
Thinking of Wang Ke leaving as soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Li's heart became even colder.
Hearing Mr. Li's words, Nanny Li also sighed. She wiped her eyes with the corner of her clothes and choked, "But what about Juan's reputation? What will the people in the village think of her?"
Thinking of Jiujiu's reputation changed from the first college student in the village to a divorcee after getting married, Nanny Li's heart was bleeding.
Of course, Mr. Li also thought of this. After a long sigh, he didn't speak anymore. But from his tightly knitted brows, one could see his inner struggle.
Because it was the busy autumn harvest season, Mr. Li took care of Jiujiu in the hospital for three days. Then he went back to harvest corn with a worried face. Nanny Li stayed in the hospital to take care of Jiujiu.
On the fifth day after Jiujiu was hospitalized, Wang Ke and his mother finally came late.
Wang Ke's mother pulled a long face. When she saw Jiujiu, she was even more unhappy. But because Nanny Li was here, she politely asked a few words and then left.
Nanny Li's heart became even colder because of Wang Ke's attitude.
Wang Ke looked at Jiujiu. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but he didn't say anything because Nanny Li had been busy taking care of Jiujiu.
After Nanny Li went out to buy things, Wang Ke said to Jiujiu, "Li Juan, when will you be discharged from the hospital?"
Jiujiu looked at Wang Ke and sneered, "Discharged from the hospital? I haven't recovered yet."
