Chapter 1356: Sharp-Tongued Yet Heartbroken
Liu Chuxue's face immediately turned cold, her voice laced with anger: "If I don't stop him and he knocks over the chicken soup and gets scalded, whose fault will that be?"
Fu Yan Cheng, ignoring the pain in his back, yanked the child into Mu Xiaofang's arms as she ran over, then cast a hostile glance at Battalion Commander Zheng on the other hospital bed: "The fact that my wife is pregnant has been spreading through the military compound for a long time; I don't believe you didn't know."
He then looked at Mu Xiaofang, his voice as cold as ice: "Your son just hit my wife with such force; are you blind and couldn't see it?"
Hearing this, Mu Xiaofang's face turned green with rage, thinking that indeed the name was well-deserved; her mouth was truly poisonous: "Battalion Commander Fu, my son is still a child; is it necessary to make such a big deal out of this? Your wife is fine, and my old Zheng is right here; even for his sake, you shouldn't speak to us like this."
Battalion Commander Zheng propped himself up with his arms: "Mu Xiaofang, it is clearly you who failed to teach your son properly; stop turning the tables here. Did Battalion Commander Fu and his wife say anything wrong? If my sister-in-law hadn't stopped him, your son probably wouldn't be standing here so well right now. Moreover, why should they endure such humiliation? Just saying 'it's fine' and trying to morally blackmail others; haven't you caused enough trouble in the Second Regiment, and now you want to make it so I can't stay in the First Regiment either?"
Mu Xiaofang didn't expect her husband, besides not helping her and their son, to actually blame her. Although she wanted to refute, seeing his sullen face, she ultimately didn't dare challenge his bottom line again, mumbling softly: "I was just afraid of scaring our son."
Hearing this, Battalion Commander Zheng became even angrier: "My son isn't made of paper; you don't need to use our son as an excuse for everything. Have you ever thought about your son's future? Will he go to school, make friends, or start a family and build a career?"
He had gotten this son only after turning thirty, so naturally he spoiled him terribly, but seeing his son become increasingly outrageous, he had originally thought the child was still young and could be taught piece by piece over time. However, today's scene made him realize he could no longer let his son continue like this.
If they caused enough trouble to make it impossible to stay in the First Regiment, the only option left would be to transfer out: "Take your son and apologize to my sister-in-law."
Mu Xiaofang thought carefully and realized her husband was actually right; if Xiao Chuxue hadn't stopped her son, truly knocking over that clay pot, the consequences would not be what she wanted to see.
Actually, children are best at reading people's expressions; seeing his own father's dark face, he didn't dare cause a scene again.
Although Mu Xiaofang knew she was in the wrong, having to apologize to the newly arrived military wife made her face look very ugly: "Battalion Commander Fu, sister-in-law, I was too nervous about my son and spoke without thinking; I apologize."
After speaking, she pulled the son hiding behind her: "Quick, apologize to Uncle Fu and Auntie."
Zheng Jiangtao, with a look of resistance, said: "I want to drink chicken soup; I did nothing wrong; they are bad people."
These words made Battalion Commander Zheng and his wife lose all face.
At this moment, Liu Chuxue's entire focus was on Fu Yan Cheng's back injury; she had no mood to argue with them anymore: "Forget the apology; please just watch your child better in the future. I don't want to conflict with anyone; I just want to take good care of my husband."
After speaking, she no longer looked at their family, supporting Fu Yan Cheng to sit on the hospital bed: "Let me check quickly; did the wound reopen? Don't you know your own condition? Why are you trying to show off?"
Her words were sharp and unyielding, yet her heart ached terribly.
Upon hearing his words, Battalion Commander Zheng and his wife both turned to look at Fu Yan Cheng's back; upon seeing it, they were also startled; Fu Yan Cheng's back clothes already had specks of blood seeping through.
