Chapter 1563: Fu Yanwen Has an Accident

~4 min read 773 words

Liu Chuxue felt embarrassed because the entire family compound had been spreading rumors that she was a spendthrift.

They said, "Making three baby cribs at once when one would suffice is truly wasteful."

Others added, "Fu Yan Cheng married such a spendthrift wife; no matter how much of his salary he earns, it won't be enough for her to squander. A bad wife is a curse."

Mainly, since this topic hadn't cooled down yet, if she did anything else, she feared those who loved meddling would come to her door and deliver a lecture.

Fu Yan Cheng flicked Liu Chuxue on the forehead: "If something's wrong, just say it. You don't need to be polite with your husband."

Liu Chuxue then handed over the sketch she had drawn in advance: "Help me make a stroller like this. Make it slightly larger so all three of them can sit in it."

She had decided that this stroller was meant to free up her hands, designed so everything could be placed inside.

Fu Yan Cheng looked at the sketch: "How is your little brain built? You actually came up with something so novel."

It was a carriage with three small seats inside, a sunshade on top, and sides capable of holding thin, hard cushions; if the children happened to fall asleep, the cushions could be laid out for them to lie down.

Fu Yan Cheng examined it again and again; the two discussed it for a while and modified a few parts: "Alright, I guarantee it won't delay your outings when the weather warms up."

He couldn't wait to eat: "You two eat; don't wait for me."

Liu Chuxue held him back: "Eat first, then go."

Fu Yan Cheng flicked the sketch in his hand: "I'm afraid if I go too late, I won't find anyone. I'll eat when I return."

Sigh, watching him leave, Liu Chuxue felt somewhat regretful; knowing him like this, she should have mentioned the matter after eating.

When Fu Yan Cheng returned, the sky was already completely dark; he had just finished eating when someone outside shouted: "Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, there's a phone call for you."

The couple exchanged a glance; at this hour, who could be calling?

Fu Yan Cheng didn't delay: "Wife, stay home; I'll go answer it."

He ran to pick up the call: "Hello, this is Fu Yan Cheng. Who is speaking?"

From the other end came Fu's mother's choked voice: "Fourth son, Xiao Wan has had an accident; she's in the hospital."

A fine sweat instantly broke out on Fu Yan Cheng's forehead: "What happened?"

Fu's mother's voice trembled terribly now: "Come over first; I'll explain in detail once you arrive."

Fu Yan Cheng couldn't bother to go back and tell Liu Chuxue; he turned to the young soldier at the gate and said: "Please run to my home again and tell my wife that I have to return to the city for an urgent matter. I'll call her early tomorrow morning; tell her not to worry."

He said this because he feared she would worry; since he didn't know the situation over there, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to call her, so it was better to explain early the next morning.

Before the young soldier on the other end could even respond, he had already run out.

He requested leave at the regiment headquarters, borrowed a vehicle, and floored the accelerator, shooting out.

When Liu Chuxue received the message delivered by the young soldier, a wave of irritation rose in her heart; she didn't know who had had an accident, but since he was in such a hurry to go to the city, something major must have happened.

When Fu Yan Cheng arrived at the hospital, everyone from the family who could come was outside the emergency room: "Mom, Dad, what exactly happened? How did Xiao Wan end up in the hospital?"

Fu's mother was too anxious to explain to him at that moment, staring fixedly at the light shining above the operating room.

It was the eldest brother, Fu Yan Ming, who pulled him aside: "Today, an accident occurred at the ticket checkpoint Xiao Wan was responsible for. A man without a ticket insisted on entering, claiming his wife and son were trying to run away and he needed to go in to find them.

Without a ticket, Xiao Wan naturally couldn't let him in, and since leaders were arriving for an inspection today and were just nearby, that man wouldn't listen, disregarding Xiao Wan's attempts to stop him and rushing straight inside.

However, his rush knocked Xiao Wan down."
