Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 604: Chapter 604: What disease did you actually get?

”Doesn’t every family act the same way?”

Maintaining balance is not easy, especially in these days when every household has many children. She had to work and take care of the children, and even if she had four hands, she couldn’t attend to each child perfectly.

What error had she committed?

”I don’t care how other families do it, I just care that despite being your daughter, why must you treat us differently?” Su Qing stared fixedly at Mother Su. After a long while, seeing Mother Su did not speak, she stood up and took a folded handkerchief from the cabinet.

Sitting back in front of Mother Su, she slowly unfolded it and presented the money inside to Mother Su, ”This is all that’s left, take it if you want, but from today onwards, just pretend you never had me as a daughter.”

As she spoke, Su Qing suddenly coughed violently, and blood slowly began trickling from the corners of her mouth.

”Elder sister!” Su Tao was playing with his young nephew nearby and noticed the blood at the corner of Su Qing’s mouth. His heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, ”Elder sister, what’s wrong with you?”

Mother Su froze. She watched as Su Qing wiped away the bright streaks of blood with her handkerchief as usual, and shook her head at Su Tao, saying, ”I’m fine.”

”You’re coughing up blood and you say you’re fine? Elder sister, you... you haven’t lied to mom and dad, right? You are really sick, aren’t you?”

Holding his young nephew, Su Tao stepped closer to Su Qing and pressed her with three consecutive questions.

”Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. It’s just a little blood in my cough. The doctor said that as long as I take my medicine properly, I’ll get better.” Su Qing was indeed sick, but the illness did not require surgery, so asking her parents for money wasn’t a complete deception.

Su Tao shifted his gaze towards Mother Su, ”Mom, do you still think my elder sister is deceiving you?”

Without responding to her son’s words, Mother Su came back to reality and asked Su Qing, ”What exactly is your illness?”

”I’ve had a cold for a long time, which made my bronchial tubes uncomfortable. I cough up a bit of blood when I cough. It’s nothing serious. Here, take this money. If you want to return to North City, you and Su Tao can leave now to avoid missing the train if it gets too late.”

Putting the money in Mother Su’s hand, Su Qing took a couple of sips of water from the cool pot on the cabinet and put the porcelain jar back in its place.

Mother Su said, ”Longlong’s illness...”

”My son is very healthy.”

Taking her son from Su Tao’s arms, Su Qing said, ”You’ve seen what kind of person my mother-in-law is. Even if I wanted to invite you and Su Tao for a meal...”

”Pack up, and I’ll go with you and Su Tao to the county hospital for a checkup.” Mother Su put the money in her bag, picked up her grandson Longlong without waiting for Su Qing to reply, signaled Su Tao to wait in the living room, and then said to Su Qing, ”Coughing up blood is not a trivial matter. Go to the hospital for a checkup. If the doctor says the same thing as you just told me, I won’t hassle you here.”

It was uncomfortable for her to be questioned by her own child, but... but this was still her child. Could she just watch her coughing up blood and then turn around to go back to North City with her younger son?

”I’ve been to the county hospital for a checkup, and it really isn’t anything serious. Rest assured and take Su Tao back.”

Su Qing stood still, clearly reluctant to go to the hospital.

”Can you stop treating your own body like it’s a joke?” Mother Su said earnestly, ”Whether you resent or hate me, right now, you must come with me to the hospital. Leave the child with your mother-in-law.”

”The doctor from the county hospital did say that, and indeed, my bronchial discomfort is caused by a cold. A few more days of medicine should do the trick.”

Mother Su said, ”Are you trying to scare me to death?”

”It’s not a serious illness.”
