Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 741 - 736: Granny Zhou’s "Hidden Motive

Everyone at home was afraid of delaying the treatment of Fang Xiu and the other, regardless of Granny Zhou’s opposition, they hurriedly and chaotically carried Granny Zhou into the car. Although Granny Zhou brought this upon herself by seeking death, a life is still a life, and if she really died here, it would not be good at all.

However, while they were carrying Granny Zhou into the car, Fang Pingying noticed something very strange.

Logically speaking, the reaction to drinking pesticide is very quick. She had seen people in the countryside drink poison to seek death, and it really was an immediate effect; people would fall in no time, with a strong smell of pesticide. Exaggerating a bit, you could probably smell it from half a mile away.

But when the three of them drank pesticide just now, Fang Pingying did not detect a strong smell of pesticide at all, it was just that she was too anxious at the time and overlooked it.

Moreover, if it were true that Granny Zhou had consumed pesticide like just now, it would have been almost twenty minutes, and who knows, she might have been gone by now, but Granny Zhou kept jumping around, and she was very strong. When several people were lifting her into the car, she was still trying to pry the car door open with enormous strength, refusing to get in, which was not at all the reaction of someone who had just ingested pesticide.

When they looked at Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu, who were sitting in the car at this time, they seemed to have no severe reaction either, not even their complexion changed. Could it be that the pesticide...

Fang Pingying was still hesitating when all the family members got into the car and quickly urged her, "Pingying, what are you looking at, hurry up and get in the car, it will take a while to get to the hospital, we can’t be too late."

Fang Pingying had her suspicions, but she dared not joke with several lives, and hurriedly and efficiently got into the car, urging Luo Zhiyong, who was driving, "Let’s go, hurry up, don’t delay."

But Granny Zhou in the back seat was still causing a fuss about getting out of the car, muttering, "Listen to me, let me get out. I don’t want to go to the hospital; if we get to the hospital later, I..."

Everyone thought Granny Zhou was talking nonsense and ignored her, but Fang Pingying, because she had other considerations in mind, asked Granny Zhou after hearing her words, "Granny Zhou, what exactly do you want to say?"

Granny Zhou glanced at Fang Pingying, opened her mouth, but eventually shook her head with an uneasy expression and remained silent.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly said, "Stop talking so much, let’s go to the hospital first."

Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctors were stunned for a moment by the commotion caused by the Fang Family, and because of Fang Pingying’s status at that time, there were many doctors who recognized her, so they naturally wouldn’t neglect her.

After understanding the situation, they immediately arranged for Granny Zhou, Zhou Guangsheng, and Fang Xiu to have their stomachs pumped first.

After Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu were taken to the wards, when it was Granny Zhou’s turn, she resolutely refused, insisting that she did not want to have her stomach pumped. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Just as everyone was about to force her, Granny Zhou reluctantly confessed her "hardships," saying, "I’ll tell you the truth, it’s just a pesticide bottle with water filled in it. I just wanted to scare my disobedient son."

"..." Everyone was speechless upon hearing Granny Zhou’s words, wondering whether to be angry or happy. After all this fuss, was it just a farce?

But if it was as Granny Zhou said and there was just water inside, could they be somewhat relieved?

As for Fang Pingying, after hearing Granny Zhou’s words, she truly felt a sigh of relief. If that was the case, Granny Zhou’s actions just now could be explained.

The hospital doctors also showed an awkward expression after hearing Granny Zhou’s words; really, there were all sorts of wonders in the world.

However, due to professional reasons, the doctor still gave a professional opinion, "Granny, even if the bottle really contains water, it would be better if you had your stomach pumped anyway. After all, it was used for pesticides before, and there might still be residues inside. Even if the amount you ingested isn’t enough to be fatal, it could still have other effects."

"Isn’t it unnecessary? I cleaned that pesticide bottle at home spotlessly. I even washed it with soapy water. I made sure there was not a hint of pesticide smell before I filled it with water," Granny Zhou said, and then muttered under her breath, "I don’t want to have my stomach pumped. I’ve seen people get their stomachs pumped, and it’s like being dead once over. I refuse to do it."

After Granny Zhou finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say. Fang Pingying then sarcastically said to Granny Zhou, "Granny Zhou, you sure did put in a lot of effort."

"You..." Granny Zhou obviously got the sarcastic undertone, but didn’t know how to retort, so she just glared at Fang Pingying.

By now, the people from the Fang Family didn’t know what to do and just waited, seeing what the doctor would say.

The doctor naturally still suggested to have the stomach washed, but since Granny Zhou was adamant about not doing so, the doctor asked Fang Pingying for her opinion, "Ms. Fang, what do you think? Granny Zhou insists on not having her stomach pumped; what should we do?"

"You are the professionals, we as family members will obviously listen to you, the doctors."

The doctor’s advice was, "Better to wash her stomach, health comes first."

"Then just give her a routine stomach wash," Fang Pingying was not only concerned about Granny Zhou’s health, but she also thought that since Granny Zhou disliked stomach washing so much, it wouldn’t hurt to give her a taste of it, to see if she dared to take such actions in the future.

"I won’t..." Hearing this, Granny Zhou wanted to object.

But this time, it was Mr. Zhou who spoke up, glaring fiercely at Granny Zhou, "Old woman, if you refuse to have it done, and later the poison from whatever you drank takes effect and you die out here, let me tell you, I won’t be taking your body back to the countryside. I’ll just cremate you here in the city, and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame."

What rural people feared the most was exactly this. Pressured with no other choice, Granny Zhou reluctantly agreed to have her stomach pumped.

Since Granny Zhou had filled the pesticide bottle with water and even washed it with soapy water, it naturally wouldn’t pose a threat to life. Moreover, since Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu both had their stomachs pumped, there were no serious issues.

After resting, and having been observed in the hospital for an entire day with nothing amiss, they were discharged by the doctors the next day.

After being discharged, both the Fang Family and the Zhou Family formally announced the matter of Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng’s marriage.

Of course, Granny Zhou was still opposed, but this time her opposition was of no consequence. Because of the pesticide drinking incident, Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng’s determination to be together had moved Mr. Zhou and Zhou Xiaoyan, so this time they firmly stood by Zhou Guangsheng’s side, eventually leaving Granny Zhou to fight a lonely battle, unable to do anything.

Additionally, given the current situation, with Zhou Guangsheng facing discharge from the military and her biggest point of pride lost, if Zhou Guangsheng wished to stay in the city, he would indeed need to rely on Fang Xiu. As a mother, she did not want her son, who had always lived in the city, to return to the countryside; thus, in the end, she compromised as well.

And so, after enduring so many trials, Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng finally became a married couple.
