Cheng Su had no idea about the danger on Qi Taiguoâs side; she was completely focused on taking care of her own body and minding her mother-in-lawâs affairs.
The examination report came out, and Mother Qiâs condition wasnât serious. Internal injuries were minor issues, fortunately, and there wasnât a serious problem like internal bleeding. However, her leg was broken, and it would need time to heal.
Hearing this, Cheng Su felt relieved and told Father Qi and others that once she had recovered enough in the hospital and the doctor announced she could be discharged, they could bring her back home to recuperate. There was no need to worry about the hospital expenses; she would take care of them.
"Itâs lucky you can earn some money. If we were still back in the countryside, Iâm afraid not many would dare to stay in the hospital so long!" Mother Cheng said while sorting vegetables, half speaking to herself.
Cheng Su replied, "If there really was a big problem, whether anyone dared to stay or not wouldnât be the issue. If treatment was needed, even if you were scared to stay, youâd have to borrow money to stay."
Mother Cheng sighed and said, "Thatâs true, but not everyone can borrow money. If you canât borrow it, you just wait for death. So many people are like that, unable to afford treatment, just waiting to die. Thatâs why your mother-in-law is quite fortunate."
Cheng Su smiled gently.
The phone rang, and Cheng Su answered. It was a call from Old Master Cheng in Guangcheng.
When Cheng Su sweetly called out "godfather," Mother Cheng paused her vegetable picking to listen closely.
All she heard was Cheng Su saying, "We have enough people to manage. My mom is here taking care of me, so donât worry. We wonât go hungry... Taiguo? He should be back in a couple of days... Okay, you also need to take good care of your health. Now that itâs summer, donât overdo the cooling down; drink more warm water... Alright, alright, when Fourth Brother and Xiao Ya get married, Iâll definitely bring the kids to pay our respects to you."
Hearing Cheng Suâs warmth, Mother Cheng felt a mix of emotions. In the past, this daughter had a strong temper and wasnât easy to get along with. She had often worried that this girl would waste her own happiness. But now, after getting married, she seemed to have become a different person, sensible and blessed with good fortune.
Truly, the Bodhisattva blessed her; this girl married the right person!
"Mom, what are you daydreaming about?" Cheng Su gave her a little push.
Mother Cheng snapped out of it: "What?"
"I should be the one asking you why youâre spacing out," Cheng Su asked, a bit exasperated.
"Oh, nothing. Was that your godfather calling?" Mother Cheng asked, even though she already knew.
Cheng Su nodded.
"From the way you were talking, you seem quite close to them. Are they a good family?"
Cheng Su chuckled and said, "If they werenât good, we wouldnât have formed a godparent relationship! Theyâre great, like real family."
"Thatâs all good fortune," Mother Cheng said with a deep sense of feeling. "In the past, your dad and I worried about your quick temper offending others. We never imagined that after getting married, youâd be better off. Youâve started a business, so youâre not worried about food and drink. Taiguo treats you well too. If you could have a chubby son, everything would be complete. And this godparent connection is a blessing, truly hard to come by. Su Girl, you must cherish your fortune!"
Cheng Su was taken aback, then laughed: "Mom, youâre making it sound so serious all of a sudden. How should I respond?"
"No need to say anything. Just remember to listen to me. Be grateful, cherish your blessings!" Mother Cheng said solemnly, "Good deeds bring rewards, evil deeds bring retribution. Remember that."
Seeing her so serious, Cheng Su nodded: "I know, donât worry!"
She touched her belly, knowing she really needed to cherish her blessings. This was all luck and fortune granted by heaven.
