Chapter 975: One Must Respect Other People's Fates

When they arrived at the health center, they saw Qiu Fu squatting outside the door, smoking.

Seeing them approach, he quickly stood up, nodded smilingly at Liu Chuxue, and then asked, "Shaomei, did you bring a basin and a towel?"

Qiu Shaomei lifted the net bag in her hand: "Brought them, brought them; my eldest brother instructed me long ago."

The few of them pushed open the door and entered the ward, seeing Xiao Fu and Qiu Shaofeng standing guard on either side of Xia Qiu's bedside, while Chunxiao was leaning against the windowsill with her face covered in her hands, looking outside; Qiu Mu had been staring at her grandson without blinking, as if she could never get enough of looking at him.

Seeing them enter, Xiao Fu said, "Chuxue, your sister hasn't woken up yet; should we go fetch the physician?"

Liu Chuxue approached to look; her sister's breathing was even: "She must be exhausted, though we could still ask the physician to come and check."

At this moment, Chunxiao interjected, "Second Sister, it's almost dark; when are we leaving?"

Hearing his youngest daughter's words, Xiao Fu couldn't help but frown: "We will leave when it is time to leave."

He had intended to scold her a few times, but thinking of the presence of his in-laws, he decided against it; after all, she was already thirteen, and he had to leave her some face.

Liu Chuxue placed the items in her hands on the bedside cabinet, cast a cold glance at Chunxiao, and said, "You go fetch the physician."

Upon hearing that she was the one being sent, Chunxiao was very unwilling.

Just as she was preparing to talk back, Qiu Shaomei stepped forward: "Sister Chuxue, I'll go; I'll go instead."

As she spoke, she quickly set down the things she was carrying.

She turned and headed outside.

Liu Chuxue was increasingly looking down on this sister of the original host; originally, thinking that in the book she had been implicated by the original host, suffering greatly at a young age and even being tortured to death by her husband's family, she had planned to watch over her well in this life, and even if not great wealth and honor, at least ensure peace, joy, and a comfortable life.

But ever since she changed the original plot, this Chunxiao had been going down the path of seeking death without return.

When she first transmigrated, Chunxiao's values were fairly upright; how was it that now that life had improved, she had changed instead? Truly, she couldn't like her even a little.

However, she was no saint; she had no patience to repeatedly teach someone with abnormal thought processes, and since the person didn't care themselves, why should she exhaust herself meddling in others' affairs?

In any case, she had already allowed the people in the story to break free from their original plot, which was enough to repay the debt of occupying the original body; after that, they would have to rely on themselves.

She would help where help was due, but as for the rest, after all, one must respect other people's fates.

Before long, Qiu Shaomei returned with the physician.

The physician had thought something was wrong with the parturient woman, but upon arriving and seeing her sleeping soundly in bed, he asked, "Why did you call me over in such a rush?"

Liu Chuxue stepped forward: "Physician, I apologize; we were preparing to leave soon to return to the city, but seeing my sister still asleep made us uneasy, so we wanted the physician to come check her condition; if there are no problems, we can leave with peace of mind; thank you for your trouble."

Hearing that this was the situation, the physician did not complain further; instead, he felt happy for the parturient woman in the bed.

The physician stepped forward, first taking Xia Qiu's pulse: "The parturient woman is completely normal; she is just too tired; sleeping is beneficial for recovery, so you need not worry."

At this moment, the child began to cry.

The physician turned to look at the infant in the swaddling clothes: "He is probably hungry; you can feed him some warm water first; has he passed stool?"

Holding her grandson and soothing him, Qiu Mu replied, "He has, he has; he's probably hungry."

Liu Chuxue approached Xia Qiu: "Sister, wake up."

Xia Qiu opened her sleepy eyes, and seeing it was Liu Chuxue, she murmured, "Xue."

Liu Chuxue spoke softly: "Sister, clear your mind; your sister-in-law has brought chicken soup for you; drink a bowl before sleeping again."

After all, her little nephew was waiting for breast milk.

Most importantly, she also wanted the physician to examine her while her sister was awake, to confirm there were no issues before they could leave with peace of mind.
