“Ah, you little rascal, with such a serious injury and still claiming it’s nothing, your mother is really going to be angered to death.”
Mrs. Lu was so angry she wanted to punch her son, but seeing the bandages on her second child, there was nowhere to start, so she could only glare helplessly.
Father Lu sighed in relief, but his face remained tense, clearly not having recovered from the shock.
After discussing the serious matters, Susu suddenly remembered the big and small parcels on the floor, feeling somewhat helpless.
“Mom, have you all eaten?”
Mrs. Lu nodded, the family had eaten before they received the news, briefly tidied up, and rushed over here as quickly as possible.
“It’s good that your little sister is on break, I was worried you’d be too busy here, so I called her over to help keep an eye on things.”
Susu was worried about the shortage of helping hands, so this was just like timely rain.
Glancing at the time, “Mom, you all wait here, I need to rush home to cook.”
“Let your little sister go with you.”
Thinking of the amount of cooking required, and how Xiao Yu must also be anxious, Susu nodded in agreement.
The two sisters-in-law carried the items, first delivering things to the new house, as there was not enough space at the Family Court for so many people.
“Auntie—”
As soon as Susu arrived, the little one came running over with red-rimmed eyes, her little face full of worry.
Biting her lip, “Auntie, how is Uncle doing?”
Wang Erniu also looked concerned, “Sister Su, you don’t know, since you left, Xiao Yu has been so worried about your brother-in-law, she’s been distracted even while eating.”
“How is Lu Gong’an? Is it serious?”
Huang Ying also asked with concern.
Susu patted the little one’s head, not going into detail, just mentioning that he would have to stay in the hospital for a while longer.
It was just right to get her little sister settled in, mainly to be in charge of cooking braised dishes.
After talking about the serious matters, Susu rushed off to the market to buy meat and big bones.
Lu Xiaoting had just undergone surgery and for now, could only eat lighter foods.
Thinking of the principle ‘like cures like,’ and what to eat to replenish what was needed.
Susu simmered a pot of milky white bone soup, minced the meat into ground pork to cook a pot of lean meat porridge, and also stir-fried two meat dishes for the in-laws and her little sister.
“Erniu, you guys take care of cooking dinner, I won’t make it in time.”
“Okay, got it, Sister Su.”
Susu ran into a sweating Xiao Sun, grinning from ear to ear with white teeth bared, but without time for talk, she hurriedly led Xiao Yu towards the hospital.
Rushing over, they arrived at the hospital almost at six o’clock.
Seeing the person on the hospital bed, Xiao Yu ran straight towards him, tears streaming down his face.
“Uncle.”
Lu Xiao touched the little guy’s head, “Uncle is fine, a big boy like me doesn’t bleed tears, only blood.”
“Okay!”
Xiao Yu lifted his arm, wiped his tears, pouted his small mouth, and gave a stuttering nod.
“Mom, are you hungry? Eat while it’s hot.”
Susu didn’t bother with the father and son, hurriedly getting the meal ready.
Then, under the man’s expectant gaze, she opened the lunchbox, releasing a rich and sweet fragrance.
“Gurgle—”
Lu Xiao’s face turned red, fortunately, his wheatish complexion hid it somewhat.
Seeing the man’s discomfort, Susu simply pretended she hadn’t heard anything.
“Drink it while it’s hot.”
Lu Xiao coughed, reaching out to take a spoon, but Susu dodged away.
“I’ll feed you, be careful not to jar your wound.”
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu reached out to take over.
Susu moved away, shaking her head, “Mom, I’m not hungry yet, you all eat first.”
Having said that, she continued to feed the man a second spoonful.
Lu Xiao had no choice but to quietly accept the feeding from his own wife, his ears flushed with red.
He whispered softly, “Thank you, wife.”
Susu blushed at the magnetic sound of his voice, and chided him with a glare.
That evening, Su Fu stayed behind to keep watch, while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Xiao Yu back to the family court.
As soon as they entered the family court, they were surrounded by everyone there.
Hearing the neighbors’ words of concern, and seeing the worry on their faces, Susu felt a warm glow in her heart.
“Yeah, luckily it didn’t hit any vital spot, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for a while. It’s just that his leg will probably take a few months to heal properly.”
“Ah, it’s good that he’s okay.”
“Exactly, as long as he’s okay, that’s what matters.”

Everyone offered kind words, telling Susu to just say the word if she needed anything, and they would surely help if they could.
No matter what, Susu was very grateful for everyone’s concern.
The three returned home, and Mrs. Lu sighed with grief.
“Mom, stop thinking about it. Now that it’s happened, we’ll just take good care of Lu Xiaoting,” said Susu as she hugged her petite mother-in-law.
“Ah, that’s all we can do now,” Mrs. Lu sighed. “Your dad can’t be away from the factory for long; he’ll probably have to go back in a couple of days. Then it will just be us two taking care of the second son.”
The next morning, Mrs. Lu went to the hospital to relieve Father Lu, while Susu made breakfast at home before heading to the hospital with the meal.
“Susu, did you run into your dad on the way?”
Susu nodded, “Yes, I ran into dad right after I left, and I told him there’s still food in the pot.”
After a night had passed, Mrs. Lu looked noticeably wearied. “You’ve had a hard time, Susu.”
“Mom, we’re all family. If you keep being so formal, I’ll get mad,” Susu said sternly, feigning anger.
Worried her daughter-in-law might actually be upset, Mrs. Lu shook her head and waved her hands in protest.
The man on the hospital bed lay with his eyes gently closed, his thick lashes casting a shadow on his face.
Susu, carrying a thermos, was about to leave the room when she nearly collided with the suddenly opening door.
“Oh dear, Xiao Su, I’ve finally found you,” an aunt said excitedly as she entered the ward, looking around.
“Aunt Huang, what brings you here?” Susu asked.
Upon hearing her voice, Aunt Huang immediately began to slap her thigh, crying with a mix of tears and snot.
Worried about disturbing other patients’ rest, Susu quickly ushered the crying Huang family members out of the room and closed the door behind them.
Mrs. Lu, concerned that her daughter-in-law hadn’t returned yet, ran into Susu as she was coming back.
“Is everything alright, Susu? What were those people here for?”
“And why are you carrying malt extract and brown sugar? Did you go to the co-op store?”
Hearing her mother-in-law’s barrage of questions, Susu couldn’t help but smile wryly as she explained the reason for the Huang family’s visit.
It turned out that the Huang family’s eldest grandson was that police officer, Lu Gong’an, and Lu Xiaoting had fallen from a height while saving Huang Chengguang.
Having learned the full story from their grandson the night before, the older Huangs had hurried over with gifts to thank their savior’s family.
Knowing the whole story, Mrs. Lu remained silent, her face taut with tension.
Choking back tears, she said, “If I could, I would rather my second son not have any merit or gratitude. I’d prefer him to live simply, at least safely and soundly, without suffering.”
Susu sighed, uncertain of how to comfort her mother-in-law.
After Su Fu went back to work, it was just the two of them, taking turns staying with the patient in the hospital.
Mrs. Lu was nearly fifty, and Susu, fearing her mother-in-law couldn’t handle it, volunteered to take the night shifts.
Seeing the doctor come to check on the patient, Susu promptly inquired, “Doctor, how is my husband’s injury?”
“He’s recovering well, the family has been taking good care of him,” replied the doctor.
“Thank you, doctor,” Susu said.
She turned her head, her eyes glistening, “Lu Xiaoting, did you hear that? The doctor says you’re recovering well.”
