Chapter 601 - 597: Xu Wenwan Pays a Visit
It was nearly dawn when Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan returned. They squeezed in a short nap before it was time to go to school.
A night had passed, but Village Chief Xu’s condition hadn’t improved much. Chen Xiumin came back home to grab some fresh clothes, with Chen Xiaoli accompanying her.
Xu Chongfeng was still at the hospital.
But as soon as they entered the village, many people on the road greeted them with congratulations.
Chen Xiumin was still a bit bewildered when she heard people saying her younger daughter-in-law had given birth to a son.
Chen Xiumin immediately rushed home with Chen Xiaoli in a flurry, and only then did she find out what had happened yesterday. She changed her clothes and went to Yu Fangfang’s room, where she saw her grandson.
The grandson was chubby. Having just been born, his skin was still a little wrinkled, but he looked exceptionally lovable.
Chen Xiumin was instantly filled with renewed energy. She handed the baby to Yu Fangfang, went straight to the kitchen, and boiled all the eggs she had been saving up.
When a baby was born, it was customary to give red-dyed eggs to relatives and friends.
Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t home, so Sweet Girl accepted them on her behalf. There were two red-dyed eggs.
By the time she finished handing them all out, half the day was gone. Chen Xiumin stayed home to take care of Yu Fangfang, Xu Chongshan went to the hospital to visit his father, and Chen Xiaoli also remained at home.
The hospital was small and didn’t allow so many visitors. One person watching over him was enough.
Chen Xiumin was still worried about her old man, but with a new grandson at home, she was needed there to look after him. There was nothing she could do.
’Someone has to hold down the fort at home!’
Strangely enough, when Xu Chongshan got to the hospital and told Xu Chongfeng about the baby, Xu Chongfeng was overjoyed.
Xu Chongshan then went to Village Chief Xu’s bedside and chattered on for a while.
And Village Chief Xu, who had been unconscious, miraculously woke up.
The hospital ran a check-up and found nothing wrong. They said he could be discharged the next day after one more day of observation.
When Xu Chongfeng returned, he told his mother and wife the news. Both of them felt that Yu Fangfang’s baby had brought some good fortune with him, and they grew even fonder of him.
As for Xu Wenwan, she waited at home for three days but heard no news. She finally couldn’t take it anymore and went directly to the County Town.
She knew where An Dongyang lived, so she went straight to his house.
Before knocking, she sprayed herself with a little of the obedience potion her system had given her.
After making sure everything was in order, she knocked on the An Family’s door.
The one who opened the door was a haggard-looking but well-dressed woman.
When the woman saw the person outside, she froze for a moment, then frowned. "Who are you looking for?"
’For some reason, I disliked this woman on sight. She’s too beautiful, alluring like a siren, the kind of woman who is clearly trouble.’
"I’m Xu Wenwan. I’m looking for An Dongyang. Is he home?"
Xu Wenwan!
When the woman heard that name, a fierce anger surged within her. Her son had been on a hunger strike at home for the past few days, all because he wanted to marry a woman named Xu Wenwan.
She and her husband were furious, but their son was dead set on it.
Now, suddenly hearing the name, especially while face to face with the person who had so captivated her son, she could no longer control the rage in her heart.
She was about to give her a piece of her mind and tell her to leave immediately. There was absolutely no way she would let Xu Wenwan into her house.
But what came out of her mouth was, "He is."
"Can I come in, then?"
"Yes."
The moment the word left her lips, the woman was dumbfounded.
’No, that’s not what I meant. I was going to refuse. Why did I agree the moment I opened my mouth?’
Before the woman could even process her confusion, her body had already moved aside to let Xu Wenwan pass.
