Chapter 121 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Face Off
"How could I be so resolute? Tomorrow, I want to visit my maternal home, to see if my brother is willing to lend a hand. As long as Yuanyou is willing to cooperate with the treatment, even if it takes all we have, I want him to recover fully."
Upon hearing this, Third Sister Zhao finally felt the weight on her heart lifted.
Qifen’s words undoubtedly brought her great comfort; it seemed Qifen still cared for this family and was willing to endure hardships together.
Yuanyou’s heart, however, was tumultuous with waves of emotion.
On normal days, Qifen was frugal, calculating every wen money spent, and now, for the sake of his illness, she was making such sacrifices. How could such deep love and kindness not touch someone’s heart?
He vowed secretly, no matter what others thought, he must overcome this illness, not only for himself but also for her who had always been quietly supportive.
Thus, he perked up and began tidying the cluttered room, attempting to express his gratitude through actions.
However, Qifen still turned her back on him, as if there was an invisible wall built up, disregarding him completely.
Seeing this, Yuanyou approached with a smile, deliberately choosing light-hearted topics to ease the atmosphere, "You really have quite a strong grip, my head still feels dizzy from that smack just now..."
He spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"After today’s ordeal, I have come to realize that all the accommodation and tolerance on ordinary days are evidence of your deep affection. Otherwise, how could I have the chance to ’win’ over you in terms of strength?"
