Chapter 403
"That's not the case. You don't know her well since you haven't met her many times. Chunhua is different from others. She is timid and afraid of trouble. She is also weak. When encountering such things, she won't defend herself and just cries." Pei JianGuo seemed to be obviously on Liu Chunhua's side, but one of the children was his own, so he couldn't condemn them all. He still had to ask for the reason, "What did the two of them say?"
Pei JianGuo was quite reasonable when he wasn't impulsive. It was just that his eyes weren't good, and he often attracted some ill-intentioned people. He was also easily influenced by those around him.
Knoxxia told him what the two children meant. Pei JianGuo laughed out immediately. "That's impossible. Sister-in-law, could it be that they were afraid of being scolded so they lied? I know Chunhua. She is as timid as a quail. She wouldn't have such thoughts, and PingAn lives with my dad. Chunhua doing this makes no sense at all."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed. "Could it be Guo Momo stabbing things in the back? She must have said something to PingAn behind our backs. That's right. It must be this woman. I told my dad that we can't let her get in touch with PingAn. Otherwise, sooner or later, the child will be corrupted by her. But my dad just wouldn't listen to me. Now it has become like this!"
The two children also mentioned the meeting between Guo Momo and Liu Chunhua and discussed sending PingAn away. Pei JianGuo's speculation was not entirely unreasonable.
But when he said this, did he ever think of himself?
Perhaps seeing the meaningful expression on Knoxxia's face, he said somewhat uneasily, "I know I'm not entirely right either. My dad taught PingAn very well, so I never interfered."
This meant that Guo Momo didn't dare interfere, which led the child to be like this.
Knoxxia didn't discuss this with him and said, "Let me go in and see Chunhua."
"Okay. But pay attention to what you say. She is sensitive. After suffering such a great grievance this time, I finally coaxed her well. Don't make her cry again."
Pei JianGuo now deeply realized a truth. These were all women he couldn't afford to offend. His former naivety no longer existed. Now he didn't dare look down on women anymore.
Knoxxia thought for a while and said again, "The two children are not the kind of people who cause trouble for no reason. And the child said there was no push. We can't easily conclude that they pushed her. The injured person is your wife. But the one involved in the push is your son. I still hope you can keep your attitude upright."
"Children are more fragile than adults. We can blame and punish them for fighting without telling adults, but we can't impose on them things they haven't done. That would also greatly hurt the children."
"But Chunhua is an honest person." Pei JianGuo annoyingly scratched his head. He really didn't believe that a woman like Liu Chunhua, who looked weak and fragile, would lie and falsely accuse the two children.
Besides, her forehead had been stitched up with several stitches. He had seen it stitched up himself. It couldn't be fake, right? She couldn't have bumped into something herself!
"Let me go in first." Knoxxia said and walked in.
Liu Chunhua had just got her stitches. She was going to sleep for a while, but her heart was tense. As soon as she heard the door open, she hurriedly turned her head.
Her complexion was pale, her eyes slightly red. Although beautiful, she had a crying face. Like a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch, weeping in the rain. No wonder Pei JianGuo believed Liu Chunhua wouldn't lie.
"Sis...Sister-in-law." She seemed surprised to see Knoxxia and quickly got up from the bed but accidentally pulled the wound on her forehead. She winced in pain at the corner of her mouth.
"Don't move. It will tug at the wound. Let me fluff your pillow so you can sit up." Knoxxia quickly went over to help prop her up with a pillow and sat on the stool by the bed.
"I just came back from the police station. The two children have also been brought home. But I still have to come to learn about the situation from you. Chunhua, the police have filed a case for this matter. Lying will bear legal liability. So I have to ask, did you fall by yourself or..."
"Sister-in-law, I know what you mean. Don't worry. I don't have children of my own. PingAn is like my own child. Chen You is your and brother-in-law's son. We are all family. I certainly can't watch them both be ruined. I'll go tell the police right now that I fell by myself and they have nothing to do with it..." Liu Chunhua interrupted Knoxxia and quickly and timidly tried to get out of bed.
Pei JianGuo pushed the door open from the outside and pressed her back into the hospital bed. "That's enough, Sister-in-law. I know you feel for Chen You. I also feel for PingAn. But wrong is wrong. Chunhua is not pursuing them anymore. That's very generous of her. We can't bully an honest person too much. You go back and talk to the two of them to have them come and apologize to Chunhua. Let's put this matter behind us."
However, Knoxxia sat leisurely. "Alright, let's ignore this matter. PingAn said he saw you meeting Guo Momo before this and discussing sending PingAn away. You and JianGuo got married not just one or two days ago. PingAn has never targeted you before. The child wouldn't suddenly target you, right? So can you explain this to me?"
"I didn't want to send PingAn away. PingAn's mother looked for me and said she wanted to take PingAn to her side. She hoped I could help. But I also know PingAn has always lived with his dad. I, as a stepmother, can't make that decision either. So I truthfully told her that if she really wanted to take PingAn, she'd have to discuss it with his dad and JianGuo. I don't know what PingAn overheard, but I really rejected her. Maybe the child misheard and that's why he targeted me."
Liu Chunhua stated it clearly. But it seemed she wasn't so timid that she couldn't defend herself.
She seemed to be finding excuses for PingAn, but she had also explained the reason why PingAn targeted her.
Seeing her like this, Knoxxia knew there was little meaning in continuing.
She smiled and said, "You've just been injured. You should rest more. I'll go back first. Later I'll ask Sister Zhang to bring you lunch. I'll come see you another day."
"Sister-in-law, don't bother. I'll just eat something simple. The hospital has a cafeteria. I'll have JianGuo go buy something later. Please don't trouble yourselves." Liu Chunhua said.
"It's no trouble. No matter how good the hospital food is, it can't compare to our home cooking. Just focus on recovering." Knoxxia said with a smile.
After leaving the hospital, her expression drastically changed.
One side must be lying. She couldn't firmly say her child was right either. But it couldn't be denied that Guo Momo also played a big role in this.
