Protagonist:

Chai Mi

"Eat it or don't." Chai Mi took the banana back and ate it herself.

"The stuff stays here. Anyway, I've been here, I've seen you, Chai Lao San — don't you go picking fights later."

Chai Mi said this and left.

Seeing Chai Mi about to leave, Chai You De, though he had cursed Chai Mi countless times in his heart, still said with his mouth: "Don't dare pick fights, truly don't dare."

Chai You De was struggling to hold on in the hospital room when the door finally opened and Chai Zhongxiao walked in looking somewhat exhausted, bringing a wave of dry tobacco smell into the room.

Chai Mi frowned; Chai Zhongxiao must have just gone out to smoke.

"This damn hospital, they manage everything so strictly, won't even let you smoke a cigarette. Old Three, I sent your mom away... Erwei kept crying, couldn't eat or sleep well. You're not seriously hurt either, so your mom went back." Chai Zhongxiao started nagging the moment he entered.

Then he abruptly noticed Chai Mi was also there...

Then he saw Chai Mi holding a banana, seemingly intending to feed it to Chai You De.

Chai Zhongxiao even doubted his own life, hurriedly rubbed his eyes: "Oh my, did the sun rise from the west? Or are my eyes playing tricks?!"

Looking again at Chai You De dodging and evading, clearly very resistant to Chai Mi's rather out-of-character behavior...

"Chai Mi! What are you doing?" Chai Zhongxiao roared: "Haven't you made your Third Uncle miserable enough already?"

Chai Mi didn't mind, forcibly stuffed the banana into Chai You De's hand, pursed her lips and said: "I'm just caring for my Third Uncle... they say blood is thicker than water, this family bond — even if bones are broken, the tendons still connect, right?"

Chai You De: Pfft! As if the one with broken bones wasn't you!!!

Chai Zhongxiao listened, yet found it quite pleasing, his attitude softened somewhat, and he nodded lightly.

"Alright, I'll leave the stuff here. Eat more fruit later, nourish your body." Chai Mi stood up and left.

A night without words.

Two more days passed, Su Wan's body recovered further, she had strength again, walking and doing anything had vigor, her spirits improved a lot.

During this period, quite a few people came to visit Su Wan one after another, like Chai Mi's Second Uncle Chai You Fu leading his daughter Chai Min to visit Su Wan, and some villagers with fairly good relations also came.

Chai Mi's maternal uncle Su Rong also brought his wife to visit Su Wan. Chai Mi's maternal grandmother and grandfather were still alive, but both were old and not in good health; Chai Mi's uncle feared they would worry, so he didn't tell them.

Even Village Chief Liu Changgui broke precedent and brought his son Liu Zhijing to visit Su Wan...

With the Village Chief came the village Accountant Song Qingshan and his daughter Song Qiushui to visit Su Wan, and even Women's Director Li Guohua came...

Chai Mi was stunned, one stunned moment after another; normally she basically had no dealings with them, she didn't know which nerve they'd struck to go crazy like this.

As for Song Qingshan coming, that was still somewhat understandable.

Song Qingshan had a clan brother named Song Qingtian, Song Qingtian had a daughter named Song Qiuping, Song Qiuping was precisely Chai You Fu's wife, Chai You Fu was Chai Youqing's own younger brother...

From this distant relative network that barely connects, Song Qingshan coming to visit Su Wan was understandable.

As for Li Guohua...

Perhaps seeing the Village Chief and Accountant both went, she, as one of the village's only three bigwigs, only she not going might have felt wrong in her heart, so she also came in a muddleheaded way.

However, Chai Mi's three aunts Chai Chunfang, Chai Chunhua, and Chai Chunwei — not a single one came.

Chai Mi naturally knew the reason, didn't spell it out, just noted it silently in her heart.

The Chai Family's relations are very complex; Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong are definitely especially dissatisfied with Chai Mi, but constrained by the fact they are still elders, spanning over Chai Youqing, they truly have no way to discipline Chai Mi.

Of course, they also don't dare discipline Chai Mi...

But when has that old shrew Wang Huirong ever swallowed such a loss? It must have been her who secretly notified the three daughters not to come visit Su Wan.

Chai Mi: Who the fuck cares if they come or not.
