With Someone Backing

Su Dajiang had just woken up and did not have an appetite. After a few bites, he could not eat anymore.

Seeing that he had finished his breakfast, Su Hanyan wrung a towel to wipe his face and hands. “Dad, does this feel better?”

“Yes, I feel much more comfortable.” Su Dajiang looked at his youngest daughter with eyes full of affection. “I’m really lucky to have Yanyan. I didn’t dote on you for nothing. Now that you’re all grown up, you know how to be filial.”

She immediately gave her father a sweet smile and grumbled, “Dad, you’re still treating me like a child! I have long grown up and will continue to be filial to you in the future!”

“Good child! Good child!” Su Dajiang was satisfied.

“Tsk.” Wei Guiqin watched from the side and let out a snort. “You didn’t dote on her for nothing? I must disagree! You raised an ingrate. Why is your attitude toward your dad so good? When you see me, you act like I’m your enemy?! Am I or am I not your mother?”

Su Hanyan pursed her lips. “That will depend on you.”

Wei Guiqin choked. This girl was really something. It was okay when she did not talk, but the moment she opened her mouth, she would drive her to her death! Now that someone had her back, she became even more fearless!

“You… You’ve always been harsh to her. When will you be able to share your love for your sons with her?” Su Dajiang saw everything clearly. Although he had not been home all these years, he could sense something through the letters they exchanged.

It was not easy for his wife to work hard and support the family. Her only flaw was that she valued boys over girls. This was already a new era, but she still could not change her old mindset.

“You nag at me the moment you get back. What, I don’t love her? If I didn’t, how could she grow so big? She talks to me like I’m her stepmother!” his wife mumbled unhappily.

Su Hanyan thought,

She’s actually like a stepmother. Perhaps just a little better…

Not long after Wei Guiqin finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open. The manager of Long Wind Mechanical Factory had brought the leaders of the union and logistics department to visit the sick Su Dajiang.

Before he went to assist with the construction of the three lines, Su Dajiang was a diligent worker at the factory. The manager admired that quality of his. Furthermore, because of his outstanding technical skills and applicable hard skills, he was sent to help at the Third Front.

His return this time would give him his promotion.

The ward became livelier as they surrounded Su Dajiang and inquired about his condition. The casual chat was enjoyable.

Su Hanyan took advantage of this opportunity to leave. After informing Wei Guiqin, she quietly left.

…

When Su Hanyan returned to the dormitory, she saw Zhu Lin holding a hammer and nails as she nailed the table leg. The sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly even from the corridor.

“You’re not working?” She took off her hat and coat and walked over to help.

“I’m on leave today.” Zhu Lin pointed at the table leg as she spoke. “This desk is old. Every time I use it to study, it feels shaky, so I’ll nail it down today.”

“I’ll help you hold it down.”

“Okay.”

Zhu Lin picked up the hammer and hammered the nail in. After just hitting it twice, someone came over to borrow books from her. She put down the hammer and went to her bookshelf to look for the said books.

Su Hanyan picked up the hammer conveniently and tried to nail the table leg down herself.

These things looked easy, but they were not easy to do, especially for someone like her who was used to living like a princess. In the end, she swung the hammer and hit down hard.

A heart-wrenching pain came as the hammer hit her hand.

“Ouch…” She cried out in pain and hurriedly used her other hand to cover the bleeding hand.

When Zhu Lin returned, she saw the blood on the floor. “Did you hurt your hand? Are you alright? Go find some gauze and bandage it. Let me handle this.”

“It’s fine. Not a big problem.” As Su Hanyan spoke, she suddenly noticed a blue light flickering beneath her hand. It then gathered into a united stream of light, which flowed toward the wound.

The pain got better. Although the wound was still there, the pain was gone.
