Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance

Chapter 240: Not Getting Divorced

When Chen Jun got home, it was already dark, but the house was still pitch black.He found it strange from a distance.

His mom was at home, so why hadn’t she turned on the lights by this time?

He opened the door, went in, and turned on the lights.

What he saw was a messy living room.

He thought his mom could at least clean up a bit.

Chen Jun decided to check his mom’s room.

Could something be wrong?

But when he pushed open the door, his mom was sleeping, which made him angry.

Was his mom upset with him or with Yang Lin? After all, Yang Lin was carrying her grandchild.

Even after the mess at noon, she didn’t say she would follow to check or ask about the situation.

Yet she was sleeping so soundly like nothing mattered.

Chen Jun didn’t call her; he just closed the door and went back to the living room.

Let her sleep; he didn’t feel like tidying up the house either.

He was exhausted from the day.

He went to the kitchen, made some cold rice from lunch by soaking it in hot water, and ate it to get by for dinner.

After eating, he didn’t wash the bowl; he just went to his room to sleep.

The next morning, as soon as the alarm went off.

Chen Jun quickly got up to wash up, and after he was ready to leave,

he seemed to hear his mom calling him, but he didn’t want to respond.

He didn’t even glance at his mom.

He went straight to the barracks.

After having lunch at the barracks, Chen Jun returned home.

But when he got home, the living room was still in the same state as yesterday.

Chen Jun could hardly take it anymore.

He forcefully pushed open his mom’s room door.

"Mom, after such a fuss yesterday, you didn’t say anything about showing concern or at least tidying up the house."

After Chen Jun shouted, he saw his mom trying to sit up, but her face looked particularly pained.

After struggling for a while, she fell back down.

"Mom, what’s wrong with you?"

Chen Jun hurried to help his mom up.

However, as soon as he supported her, his mother cried out in pain.

Chen Jun got frightened and immediately let go, and his mom lay back down again.

Her bed was a wooden board bed, not as soft as the modern ones.

Falling back down made her waist hurt even more.

"Yesterday, Yang Lin pushed me, now my waist hurts a lot."

Chen Jun’s mom said weakly. Chen Jun then recalled Yang Lin pushing his mom to the ground yesterday.

Judging by his mom’s reaction, she seemed to have gotten injured.

"Mom, wait a moment. I’ll go get a doctor."

After saying this, Chen Jun ran out.

His mom didn’t have time to call out to him.

Chen Jun quickly brought back a doctor from the clinic.

The doctor took a look and said it seemed like she had injured her waist.

He suggested that Chen Jun should take his mom to the city to get an X-ray to see the extent of the injury.

Chen Jun stayed silent for a long while.

His mom instantly understood why Chen Jun was in a dilemma.

"Doctor, I don’t want to go to the city. Is there any other way?"

She quickly addressed the doctor.

"Without an X-ray, I don’t dare to prescribe medicine lightly. If you don’t want to go, you’ll have to stay at home, and whether it heals well depends on luck."

The doctor actually didn’t agree with staying at home.

But he knew something about the Chen family’s situation, and yesterday Chen Jun brought Yang Lin over to him.

He guessed it might be because they didn’t have much money for hospital visits for both.

In the end, he said just this.

"Okay, thank you, doctor. But I’m in quite a bit of pain right now. Do you have any medicine that can help relieve it?"

Chen Jun’s mom, despite wanting to save money, couldn’t ignore the pain.

She couldn’t help but ask the doctor.

"I can give you some painkillers, but don’t consume them in large quantities. Only take one if you really can’t stand the pain."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Chen Jun’s mom quickly thanked him.

The doctor took five painkillers from his medicine box and handed them to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun paid one yuan.

After the doctor left, Chen Jun’s mom hurriedly asked Chen Jun to get her some water.

She wanted to take the pain medication first.

After taking the pills, she felt the pain in her waist ease a bit after a while.

"Junzi, is there anything to eat at home? Can you make me something? I’m starving."

Chen Jun’s mom had only eaten a little bit in the morning and had been hungry ever since.

After Chen Jun and the others left at noon yesterday, she struggled to get on the bed.

She thought she would feel better after a nap.

But when she woke up, she couldn’t move at all.

All afternoon, she was anxious, in pain, and hungry, and eventually fell asleep on the bed.

In the morning, she heard Chen Jun washing up and getting ready to leave, so she hastily called out to him.

Possibly because she was too weak from hunger and feared that shouting would hurt her waist more.

So she didn’t call out loudly enough, and Chen Jun didn’t hear her as he just left.

Now she was truly faint from hunger.

Chen Jun also realized he had misunderstood his mom. He quickly went to the kitchen to cook noodles for her.

Earlier, when the doctor was leaving, he specifically mentioned not letting her sit up to avoid causing further injury.

After he finished cooking, he had to feed her himself.

Once he was done taking care of his mom, he had to go back to the barracks.

In recent days, going without a nap at noon was a minor issue for Chen Jun.

His mom couldn’t get out of bed now, and she needed to relieve herself there.

Several times when he returned from training, his mom was covered in urine.

The smell made him feel nauseous as he walked past.

Although Chen Jun grew up in a less fortunate household, he had never done much in terms of caregiving.

Things were already overwhelming him here, so he deliberately ignored Yang Lin on the other side.

He thought that since Yang Lin’s mom was taking care of her, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Because of this, Yang Lin’s mom was even more upset.

"You tell me what kind of family you married into. After such a big incident, it’s okay if they don’t have money, but your mother-in-law doesn’t even come to look after you when you are recuperating. And your husband is nowhere to be found. What’s the point of staying with such a family? As soon as you recover, you should divorce him."

Yang Lin’s mom said angrily.

"Mom, I’m not getting a divorce. Since they want to get rid of me so much, I’m determined not to let them have their way."

Yang Lin was also furious.

From the beginning, she knew Chen Jun and his mom approached her for her family’s money and her dad’s position.

But she thought that since she was having Chen Jun’s child, he must have some genuine feelings for her.

And the child was his biological one, too.

Yet he kicked that child away.

Now, with how they were acting, Yang Lin wished she could take a stick and beat Chen Jun and his mom to death.

If they wanted to get rid of her just like that, that was never going to happen.

If they wanted her gone, then she’d stay right in their family.

What was done to her, she intended to get back, bit by bit.

"But why would you put yourself through this? Is it really worth it for them? I think you should listen to me and divorce him. I’ll make sure Chen Jun can’t continue in the army. They are really too much for bullying people like this."

Yang Lin’s mom said disapprovingly.

Although the Yang family was having hard times, given her daughter’s appearance, it wasn’t difficult to find her a family with better conditions. There was no need to be tied to the Chen family, those bastards.

"Mom, I have my own considerations. You don’t need to worry about me."

Yang Lin said firmly, and knowing her daughter’s temperament, her mother could only sigh.
