Chapter 440 Car accident
An electric scooter sped past and hit Liu's mother who was crossing the road.
"Hiss..." Mother Liu touched her forehead, "It's bleeding..."
It was the peak time for sending children to school, and the woman was instantly surrounded by people, including her classmates' mothers and tall people.
The three of them were close to each other, so they were the first to notice the fallen Liu's mother. They all stared at her and asked:
"Xiaolin's mother, are you okay?"
Perhaps because she hit her head, Liu's mother couldn't hear what the two said. She saw their faces in a trance, and the smiles on their faces stung her eyes. Her head hurt and the woman fainted instantly.
Liu's mother woke up again in the hospital.
Her husband and daughter Liu Zelin were by her side.
The woman's eyes were fixed on her daughter, as if she wanted to gouge a hole in her.
Liu Zelin looked worried. In the morning, as soon as she sat down in the classroom, her head teacher came to her in a hurry and told her that her mother had been hit by an electric scooter at the school gate.
When the girl heard this, she immediately called her father who was on his way to work, and the father and daughter arrived at the hospital at about the same time.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
Mother Liu closed her eyes in disgust and said nothing.
Liu Zelin and his father's expressions suddenly became very panicked.
Father Liu hurriedly asked, "Wife, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor..."
Mother Liu closed her eyes and replied, "No need." The woman paused and said, "Linlin, you go back to school first. Your father will take care of me."
"But..." Liu Zelin couldn't let go of his worry about his mother.
"No buts. Don't think you don't need to study hard just because you got a good grade once. Learning is a long-term battle, you know?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
"Don't you want to listen to anything your mother says?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Liu's mother became more and more excited as she spoke, and at the end she started coughing violently.
The girl was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to say another word.
Father Liu looked at his wife with heartache, secretly winked at his daughter, and pulled her out of the ward.
"Linlin, your mother was hit by a car and is in a bad mood. Just listen to her. Daddy apologizes to you for your mother's attitude." Father Liu said as he called a taxi for his daughter on the taxi app.
"I've already called a car. I'll send you the license plate number. Is it okay for you to take the car to school by yourself?"
Looking at his anxious father, Liu Zelin nodded silently and walked towards the elevator with his schoolbag on his back.
The girl lowered her head and muttered to herself: "Mom... seems to hate me more and more recently."
What can I do to make my mother happy?
The young girl has troubles.
Father Liu returned to the ward and took his wife's hand, "What happened?" The man understood his wife and knew that it must be something other than the car accident that triggered her negative emotions.
He had never had a quarrel with his wife in all the years he had been married. Even when they had disagreements, he was the first to give in. Sitting at the head of his wife's bed, watching her pretending to sleep, the man felt both distressed and amused.
Liu's mother said, "Nothing!" The woman said this with her lips trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Her eyeballs, covered by her eyelids, began to become restless and rolled around non-stop.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have rushed to a meeting this morning and asked you to send our daughter off. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."
"I would rather be the one who got hit. It really hurts me when you do this."
Mother Liu pursed her lips, slowly opened her eyes, and cried in her voice, "Husband..."
The man skillfully held the woman in his arms and whispered to her in a gentle voice, "Can you tell me now? What's going on..."
Before Liu's mother spoke, she thought of the incident that happened at the dinner table. If she told her husband the truth, he might report it to the class teacher, and she would be criticized even more.
Ultimately, the cause of this incident was that her daughter was too obese, and she had to find a way to get her husband and her to stand on the same front.
The woman said with tears in her eyes, "When I sent my daughter to school this morning, I saw that all the children in her school were quite thin. I couldn't help but say something and asked her to pay a little attention. As a result, she got angry and yelled at me at the school gate..."
"I was really angry at the time... But I thought it was not easy for my child to study hard, and I didn't want to argue with her in front of the crowd, so I hurried to avoid her, and I didn't expect to be hit by a car..."
"It's because of this, but when Linlin called me, she didn't mention your quarrel?" The man showed a puzzled expression.
"She must have been frightened too."
"Linlin was indeed wrong this time. I must teach her a lesson." The man's low and unhappy voice sounded in the ward.
"husband……"
The woman shrank into her husband's arms, her right hand tightly grasping his shirt.
The man bent down and kissed his wife's forehead. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? How about after you're discharged from the hospital, we go back to the store we went to a few days ago and buy a more expensive bag?" The man smiled dotingly. "Or maybe two?"
"How about a gold bracelet? You can buy anything you want as long as you're happy."
"I don't really want to buy anything. A bag every six months will be enough." The woman's voice was very soft.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
The man rested his chin on his wife's forehead.
Liu's mother leaned against her husband's neck, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm still a little worried about our daughter's weight. She was so excited today. Do you think it's a stress reaction? Maybe someone in her class often tells her she's fat..."
Hearing this, the man pushed his wife out of his arms and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Adolescents have much stronger self-esteem than children of other ages. My daughter has been very sensible since she was young. If she had been wronged outside, she probably wouldn't have told us in order to avoid causing trouble for us."
"Just like at the parent-teacher conference before, if I hadn't heard the word 'fat' from a male classmate, we would have been kept in the dark!"
What my wife said makes sense. My daughter's behavior has been very abnormal recently, and it is very likely that she has been stimulated by some external factors.
"Let's take the initiative to communicate with our daughter and see if we can get her to tell us..."
"No, that won't work!" The woman shook her head firmly. "She won't listen and will continue to do her own thing."
"So what do you want to do? Or have you already thought of a specific method?"
The corners of Liu's mother's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were burning.
That afternoon, the woman completed the discharge procedures, and the first thing she did when she returned home was to throw away all the snacks and drinks.
While she was doing this, the bandage on her forehead accidentally fell off.
"Look at you, why do you have to keep pestering me with this..." Father Liu muttered softly.
