Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Mi knew Chai Youqing's personality all too well: Chai Youqing had a bit of ability at home, but the moment he saw Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong, he instantly wilted like a little lamb — he was a great filial son.

But to put it in later generations' terms, Chai Youqing was a mama's boy over forty. That wasn't simple foolish filial piety; he was sick in the head...

Chai Mi's eldest aunt and second aunt chatted with Mother Su Wan for a while, then also got up to say goodbye.

Chai Mi saw them off downstairs, and only returned after her cousin Liu San drove away.

She stood at the hospital stairwell, watching the comings and goings outside the window, as well as the retreating figures of her eldest aunt and the others' car, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Chai Youqing, oh Chai Youqing, you really are my dad... I can't beat him, otherwise I'd really want to grab him by the collar and give him two big slaps." Chai Mi complained helplessly in her heart.

What kind of mess has been made of this day after day?!

Chai Mi arranged for Chai Youqing to go home and ask for medical expenses; the medical expenses weren't obtained, the land wasn't secured either, and as a result, their own family's calf was lost.

A reverse operation — stealing chickens only to lose the rice?

After a while, Chai Mi made up her mind and returned to the hospital room to discuss with Su Wan.

"Mom, after you recover, go stay at my maternal grandmother's home for a few days."

"Ah..." Su Wan was a bit stunned, not knowing why Chai Mi would say this: "What would I do at your grandmother's? It's terribly inconvenient."

Su Wan's words had no flaw; Su Wan's parents were already in their seventies, the house was full of grandchildren, and the old man and old lady had always lived together with Su Wan's eldest brother Su Qidong.

And Su Qidong had two sons; one was in his thirties, already married with children, the other had been a bit cerebral palsy since childhood, and to this day still relied on Su Wan's sister-in-law to feed him — if Su Wan's sister-in-law didn't feed him, he wouldn't eat.

It could be said that Su Wan's natal family's eldest brother and sister-in-law were worrisome. Su Wan truly didn't want to return to her natal family and add trouble for her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

"Nothing much." Chai Mi replied perfunctorily.

Could she tell Mother she wanted to go home and fight it out with them?

Chai Mi naturally couldn't say it out loud.

"I heard my eldest uncle's lung disease has flared up again, coughing terribly all day. At that time, didn't my eldest aunt and second aunt also say they wanted to go see my eldest uncle? That's just right — you sisters go together, and afterward you stay at my eldest uncle's home for a few days."

"Oh..." Su Wan neither agreed nor disagreed, but still asked carefully: "Then do I still bring Chai Xiu along?"

Chai Mi glanced at Chai Xiu, who was staring fixedly at the bananas on the bed, sighed, peeled off a banana and handed it to Chai Xiu.

In this era, bananas as fruit transported from the south were still extremely rare locally; the market didn't sell many, and they were especially expensive. They still counted as a relatively luxurious fruit locally.

So when Chai Mi saw her cousin Liu San bring a huge bunch of bananas, her mood was quite good at that moment.

After all, Chai Mi herself currently couldn't bear to buy such a huge bunch of bananas; this stuff was indeed a bit pricey.

Chai Mi's family living conditions were very ordinary. Mother Su Wan and Chai Xiu had both never eaten bananas. Chai Mi incidentally peeled off another one and handed it to Mother Su Wan.

"Eat it, this stuff is good." Chai Mi said to the two of them.

Su Wan put the banana aside, unwilling to eat it. And Chai Xiu, seeing Mother Su Wan not eating, didn't dare move either.

Chai Mi peeled the banana in Chai Xiu's hand, then handed it back to Chai Xiu: "Second, when the time comes you and Mom go stay at grandmother's for a few days; remember to listen to Mom's words, don't run around recklessly."
