Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Loss of Voice

Gu Hongjuan also added, "Of course, look at my face, it’s the best proof. Qiaoqiao will be the kind of highly sought-after traditional Chinese doctor in the future."

Ning Xueling said softly, "Keep flattering her. She’s so young, doesn’t even have a license to practice medicine yet, and you’re talking about a highly sought-after traditional Chinese doctor. Just don’t bring trouble to the family one of these days."

Zhou Guifang got angry immediately and said, "During the New Year, if you have nothing nice to say, then shut up. No mother talks the way you do. If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute."

Luo Qiao just happened to come by and overheard their conversation. She thought to herself that she might as well not have such a mother. She didn’t want to listen to any trouble during the New Year. As she walked in, her hand carried something extra, which she quietly sprinkled into the bowl of water Ning Xueling had poured for herself without anyone noticing.

When Ning Xueling heard her mother-in-law speaking so crudely again, she got so angry that she didn’t feel like working anymore. She picked up the bowl of water next to her and drank it down.

As Luo Qiao saw her drink the water, she turned and started helping grandma with the fish. Luo Jiayue praised her second older cousin’s skillful hands, "Second Sister, you’re really amazing."

Seeing her daughter’s admiring eyes, Gu Hongjuan said, "Learn more from your Second Sister, so that one day Mom can also enjoy the fruits of your labor."

Luo Jiayue responded, "You make it sound as if you’re the one who cooks every meal in our house. Most of the time, it’s Dad who cooks."

Gu Hongjuan wasn’t offended by her daughter exposing her, "That’s true, I’m lucky to have found a good husband. But I have to thank your Grandma for raising such a good man."

Zhou Guifang, after hearing her younger daughter-in-law’s words, let go of the earlier unpleasantness and said, "You’re always so glib with your words."

Gu Hongjuan chuckled, "I’m speaking the truth. Our Luo Haoqing really is a good son, a good husband, and a good father, thanks to the good upbringing from Mom and Dad."

Song Shiya also laughed, "Mom, you’re not wrong. Hongjuan’s words aren’t false; you really did raise your sons well. At the very least, the three brothers aren’t chauvinistic and help with the housework when they come home.

So many people at my unit are envious of me. In this regard, I really need to thank Mom and Dad just like Hongjuan."

Ning Xueling looked up and saw the two sisters-in-law buttering up the family. Just as she was about to say something, she found herself unable to make a sound, which scared her so much that she immediately stood up.

At that moment, everyone in the kitchen was facing away from her and didn’t notice her anomaly. Ning Xueling, caring a lot about face, was scared to death, but she didn’t want the sisters-in-law to see her in this state and make a joke out of her.

She took the bowl and poured herself another half a bowl of water, not caring whether it was too hot, and drank it down in a hurry, but she still couldn’t speak.

Frightened, she grabbed her bag hanging behind the door and hurried out of the yard. Just then, she saw Luo Haotian coming in from outside. Walking briskly over, she pulled him and rushed outside.

Luo Haotian thought she was being temperamental again and shook off her hand abruptly, "It’s the New Year, can’t you calm down? You hardly ever visit, and yet you always have to create some drama, don’t you?"

Ning Xueling glared at Luo Haotian with anger in her eyes and then pointed to her throat, making some ’ah, ah’ noises.

Luo Haotian frowned and asked, "Ning Xueling, what new tricks are you trying to pull? Do you have to make a spectacle every time you come back, is that it?"

Ning Xueling didn’t want to waste time with Luo Haotian there, so she turned and headed out of the alley. Luo Haotian, not wanting his family to see, followed her out in a hurry, feeling extremely anger inside.

He saw Ning Xueling at the bus stop, quickly caught up with her, and followed her onto the bus.

Then, grabbing her arm, he whispered, "Can you stop making a scene? The whole family is here. Can’t you allow us men to save some face?"

Ning Xueling didn’t stay on the bus for many stops before getting off near a railway hospital. She didn’t care about what Luo Haotian was saying at that moment; she was too scared for her life, her mind in chaos at the thought of becoming mute.

She didn’t have time to think about why she suddenly lost her ability to speak, as she was fine just moments ago.

At this point, Luo Haotian also realized that Ning Xueling wasn’t throwing a tantrum; she genuinely lost her voice. The hospital lobby was nearly empty now.

They quickly registered and saw a doctor, who, after a check-up, said there were no major issues. It was probably a loss of voice due to qi (vital energy) surging to the heart out of anger.
