Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Foster Mother’s Phone Call_1

Pfft...

Luo Ning sprayed out a mouthful of icy Cola.

"Born with divine strength?"

"You think you’re Popeye the Sailor or Hercules? Who are you kidding?"

Mo Xiaochen pouted seriously, "Mom, you’re wrong, dad is Superman!"

Uh...

A vein popped on Luo Ning’s forehead as she cleared her throat and glared fiercely at Mo Han, "I’ll sort you out when we get back!"

Mo Han, feeling guilty, hung his head and didn’t dare to respond.

vvvvv

Just then, his phone in his pocket buzzed—it was a call from his foster mother, Ming Cuilian.

"Hello, Han’er, it’s me."

Ming Cuilian’s kind voice came from the phone, "Are you at home?"

"I borrowed thirty thousand from the villagers, and now I’m near your place. Can you come out so I can give you the money?"

Ming Cuilian was a genuine peasant woman with a gentle character and a kind heart.

Although she wasn’t Mo Han’s birth mother, she had always treated him as her own flesh and blood.

When Mo Han was successful, he wanted to bring his foster mother to the city to live comfortably, but she declined, saying she was not accustomed to city life.

However, when Mo Han’s business failed and he was left with nothing, Ming Cuilian decisively sold the house in the village to help Mo Han pay off his debts.

Upon learning that her granddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia, Ming Cuilian abandoned her dignity and returned to the village, going from door to door, begging for money. Even so, she managed to borrow only a meager thirty thousand yuan.

Now, she rented a twenty-square-meter room in a poor district of Jiangling City for the sake of taking care of her son and granddaughter, selling breakfast food at a stall during the day and frequently helping out at the hospital at night to take care of her granddaughter Chen Chen.

When Mo Han received the call from his foster mother, a wave of shame washed over his face.

His daughter had been well for two days, yet he hadn’t called his foster mother even once.

"Mom, you can take the thirty thousand back. Chen Chen’s illness has been cured, and we don’t need to spend money at the hospital anymore," said Mo Han softly.

"I’m out with Ning’er and Chen Chen right now. Can you wait for us a bit? We’ll be home soon," he continued.

"Han’er, what did you just say?" Ming Cuilian exclaimed with joy on the phone, "Is Chen Chen’s illness really cured?"

"Yeah! It’s true," Mo Han nodded and passed the phone to his daughter, "Chen Chen, talk to grandma."

"Grandma!" Chen Chen took the phone, her voice sweet and young, "It’s me, Chen Chen."

"Dad, mom and I are eating fries. Do you want some, grandma?"

Hearing her granddaughter’s excited voice, Ming Cuilian cried with happiness, "It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay."

"Grandma doesn’t want fries; you eat them, Chen Chen."

"And tell your dad, grandma has something to do and is going back first. You must listen to your dad, mom, and paternal grandparents at home."

Chen Chen nodded, "Okay, grandma..."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen pouted, "Dad, grandma said she doesn’t want fries..."

"She also said she had to leave because of some errands."

Luo Ning, who was close by, had heard the contents of the call as well. Her face reddened slightly as she said with a hint of guilt, "Mo Han, let’s find a time to visit godmother, shall we?"

"Yeah!" Mo Han nodded, resolving in his heart to visit his godmother the next day.

At seven-thirty in the evening, Mo Han returned home with his wife and child.

Strictly speaking, it was his father-in-law’s house.

As soon as he entered the doorway, Mo Han saw his mother-in-law, Yang Meifeng, sitting on the sofa with a steely face, while his father-in-law, though watching TV, also didn’t look too happy.

"Dad, mom, we’re back," said Luo Ning, who knew her parents didn’t like Mo Han, so she took the initiative to speak first.

"You still know to come back?" Yang Meifeng snorted coldly. "You disappeared for an entire afternoon, even your phone was off. Where have you been?"

Before Luo Ning could speak, her daughter blurted out, "Grandma, don’t be angry. It was Chen Chen who wanted dad and mom to take her to eat fries and chicken nuggets..."

"Eat, eat, eat! All you know is how to eat! Until it kills you!" Yang Meifeng interrupted angrily, not only was she not happy about her granddaughter’s better health, but she also seemed somewhat disappointed.

She knew her daughter too well—if Luo Ning divorced Mo Han, she would definitely take this burden with her. How then could she marry into a wealthy family?

In her eyes, it would have been better if Mo Xiaochen had just died in the hospital—simple, since Ning’er could always have another child.

Unaware of her mother’s thoughts, Luo Ning forced a smile, "Mom, Chen Chen’s illness is cured. It was a misdiagnosis by the hospital; she actually had sepsis, and the hospital has already..."

"I got it, I got it!" Yang Meifeng interrupted, uninterested in hearing more. "The day after tomorrow is grandma’s seventieth birthday, you prepare the gift."

After saying that, she promptly stood up and walked with a gloomy face back to her room.

As she neared the door, she suddenly turned around, looking coldly at Mo Han, "Wash the dishes in the kitchen and also the clothes and bed sheets in the bathroom, get them all washed."

"Yeah," replied Mo Han, seemingly accustomed to being ordered around by his mother-in-law, and went to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

In the living room, Luo Shanchuan lifted his granddaughter onto his knees, teasing her while watching TV.

He actually quite liked this adorable granddaughter of his. It was just a pity that the child’s father...
