Jiang Wenyue cried so guilty, so sad, and so pitiful that Cui Anhua's original intention to blame her disappeared instantly. Instead, he walked up to her with great concern and wiped her tears carefully, comforting her:
"How can you be blamed for this? Even I can't do anything in the face of natural disasters. You are a weak woman who needs help from others to escape, so this is not your fault. Don't feel too guilty. Seeing you so sad, our children will also feel sorry for you as their mother..."
Cui Anhua comforted her for a long time before she finally stopped crying. She looked at him carefully and said, "You really don't blame me? But, but..."
Seeing her blaming herself like this, Cui Anhua felt even more pain in his heart. He couldn't even comfort her, so how could he blame her? So he said firmly: "Yes, this is not your fault. Don't blame yourself and feel sad."
Jiang Wenyue was completely relieved when she saw that he really didn't blame him. She finally got through this hurdle. She was glad that Cui Anhua had deep feelings for her.
Then she struck while the iron was hot and picked up one of the boys. She walked to Cui Anhua, took out one of her son's little hands, and whispered to Cui Anhua, "Husband, Yu'er's palm was also injured in the earthquake. The thumb bone was broken. Later, the injury healed and it became like this."
Cui Anhua took a look and saw that Cui Yu's thumb was indeed obviously deformed, somewhat scary and ugly. The moment Cui Anhua saw it, the muscles on both sides of his cheeks twitched involuntarily, and he closed his eyes. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "What did the doctor say? Can't it be cured?"
"No, it can't be cured. Young Master Ying specially invited the imperial physician from the palace to see it, but he also said that it can't be cured..." Jiang Wenyue replied in a low voice.
When Cui Anhua heard her say this, he instantly felt an aching pain in his heart. Cui Jin, Cui Yu and Cui Mingzhu were the three children born to him by his beloved woman and were the fruits of their love. From their names, we can see how much Cui Anhua values them. These three names were carefully chosen by him, unlike the names of his other children which were all picked randomly.
He had no feelings for his other children, but he had high expectations for and valued these three. Among them, Cui Jin and Cui Yu were his future heirs in his mind. He had high expectations for them and hoped that they would bring honor to the Cui family.
But now, the fingers of Cui Yu's right hand are broken, and his thumb has no strength, so many delicate hand movements cannot be completed. Therefore, Cui Yu is destined to have no future, whether it is writing or practicing martial arts. How could Cui Anhua not be heartbroken when he learned about it
And not only Cui Yu, but even his beloved daughter had an ugly scar on her face. If a girl has a scar on her face, it means she is disfigured. How can a disfigured girl marry into a good family in the future
Cui Anhua felt grief for the son and daughter whom she truly loved.
"No matter what, we must heal Yu'er and Mingzhu's injuries. If the palace doctors can't cure them, we can look for ones among the people. There are so many doctors in the world, it's impossible that there aren't skilled doctors who can cure them." After Cui Anhua's grief, his eyes became firm, and he made up his mind to find a miracle doctor among the people to cure his children.
"Okay, okay, let's spend a lot of money to offer a reward, and we will definitely find the miracle doctor!" Jiang Wenyue nodded repeatedly in response.
After talking it out, the couple played with their three children for a long time to build their relationships, and only left when they wanted to drink milk.
After telling his beloved woman his true feelings and enjoying the happiness of family life with his children, Cui Anhua finally remembered his own mother. He touched his nose, concealing his guilty conscience, and said to Jiang Wenyue, "It's getting late. I think mother must have taken a nap. I'll go see her now."
Jiang Wenyue was stunned for a while before she remembered who the mother Cui Anhua was talking about. Seeing that he was heading towards Cui's mother's original yard, she quickly stopped him and said, "Since the earthquake, Cui Ying took my mother to his yard to take care of her and never sent her back."
Cui Anhua was a little surprised, but then he thought it was normal. Yue'er, the children, and his mother were all old, weak, and disabled. After the earthquake, Yue'er had to take care of three children and certainly could not take care of her mother. Cui Ying took his mother to take care of her, which showed that he still had a conscience. Otherwise, if he ignored his elderly grandmother, he would be very cruel.
Cui Anhua went to Cui Ying's yard. Cui Ying had already returned from the yamen at this time. When he saw Cui Anhua coming back, he just talked to him for a few words and then took him to Cui's mother's room to let the mother and son meet.
When Cui's mother saw him, she burst into tears. Cui Anhua saw his mother lying on the bed with gray hair and wrinkles on her face, as if she had aged ten years. He was immediately extremely sad and asked in shock: "Mother, it's only been more than a year, how come you have become so haggard? Did Cui Ying not take good care of you?"
Cui Ying heard what he said, his face turned cold, and he turned and left.
The mother and son of the Cui family hugged each other and cried bitterly. Mother Cui then told them everything that happened after he left. She said that she was trapped under the collapsed house. Jiang Wenyue hadn't sent anyone to look for her for a long time, so she was filled with resentment:
"If Cui Ying hadn't brought a doctor to find me, I would have died right then and there would have been no way I could have waited for you to come back alive. That despicable woman of the Jiang family didn't send anyone to save me for a long time after the earthquake. She definitely didn't want me to survive. Otherwise, how come Cui Ying was much farther away than she was and came to find me, but she was nowhere to be seen? She must have wished I was dead..."
Cui's mother was wrong to blame Jiang Wenyue. Jiang Wenyue was just cowardly and incompetent, and he forgot about her. He didn't want her to die, so he sent people to rescue her later. But Cui's mother was in a daze at the time and didn't remember it at all, so she resented Jiang Wenyue.
"Mom, you must have misunderstood. Yue'er is not that kind of person. She was powerless at the time, and the children were injured. It is understandable that she couldn't take care of you." After hearing what his mother said, Cui Anhua certainly couldn't think that his true love was such a woman, so he defended her immediately.
Mother Cui was furious when she heard this. She said angrily, "You really have forgotten your mother after marrying a wife! You don't believe me as your mother, but you believe that Jiang? I said Jiang is not a good person! He pestered you and made you abandon your first wife and other children. He took you for himself. He is really a selfish, vicious and shameless person!"
"It's all your fault, you unfilial son! The Jiang you married is a piece of shit. She's weak and incompetent. She can only cry when something happens. She doesn't do anything. She's not capable of being the master of the house. She only uses despicable means to seduce you, but you're obsessed with her and think she's perfect...
If Cui Ying and his wife hadn't come to help her after the earthquake, she would have starved herself and her child to death! What a waste, not even as good as the capable Liu. It's all because of your blindness that you married such a useless person..."
Cui's mother scolded Cui Anhua.
