Prosperity throughout the four seasons

The news of my husband and the rescue team collectively going missing spread all over the internet.
My father-in-law, under the sixty-degree ground temperature, recorded a video in the desert pleading with me.
My mother-in-law angrily berated me in front of the media as cold-blooded and heartless.
The entire internet is condemning me as the vicious wife who disregards her husband's safety.
I only turned on do not disturb mode, held my peacefully sleeping daughter, and enjoyed a beauty spa at the maternity center.
Three days ago, I was sent into the delivery room.
Yet my husband, due to an urgent call for help related to his childhood friend, was eager to rush to Lop Nur overnight.
On the operating table, in pain and convulsing, I sent him a voice message with tears in my eyes.
"At the time when the child and I need you the most, if you choose Yu Xiaoxiao, then never come back to this home."
A long time after, he only responded with: "You have doctors; only I can save Xiaoxiao!"


Love Has Faded, Hatred is in Vain

When Jiang Yuzhou posted on his social media that he was boarding a plane to Lop Nur, I was lying in the operating room, bleeding heavily.


After a full eight hours of rescue efforts, my child and I were finally out of danger with the help of the medical team.


The next day, while I was receiving an IV drip, the news broadcasted about the missing Lop Nur rescue team.


The family chat group on WeChat exploded with discussions; my father-in-law left for Lop Nur the moment he heard the news, and all the relatives were praying for Jiang Yuzhou.


Upon receiving the news, my mother-in-law, who had been missing since I got pregnant, stormed into the room yelling.


"Yu Xiaoxiao, why are you still lying there? Hurry up and go to Lop Nur to save my son!"


The little one had just fallen asleep and immediately started crying loudly due to the scare.


I frowned, and the nanny smartly took the child out first.


"Mom, I just gave birth yesterday and nearly died from hemorrhaging on the operating table. How can I go save your reckless, foolish son?"


My words instantly displeased my mother-in-law.


Hands on her hips, she pointed at me: "How can you talk like that? He's your husband! Your husband is missing in Lop Nur, and you still have the nerve to lie in the hospital and sleep?"


"I'm not sleeping; I'm in postpartum recovery."


My mother-in-law hesitated for a moment, then burst into anger.


"Are you trying to provoke me deliberately? I think it's your fault that Yuzhou went missing!"


Watching my increasingly frantic mother-in-law, my heart grew cold.


In the past, for the sake of Jiang Yuzhou, I tolerated too much from his parents, so much that they thought I was easy to bully.


But today, I didn't want to endure any longer!


"First of all, Jiang Yuzhou is an adult capable of taking responsibility for his actions."


"Secondly, when he left me to give birth alone to rescue his childhood friend who went missing in Lop Nur, he and I were already unrelated!"


"Lastly, before he went missing, he asked me for help numerous times, but I'm sorry, aside from advising him to quickly contact rescue, I can't do anything."


But my mother-in-law, as if she couldn't understand human language, kept barking: "How can you talk like that? Is it wrong for Yuzhou to rescue Yu Xiaoxiao?"


"My son is a good kid; his rescue of Yu Xiaoxiao proves he's a person of loyalty and righteousness!"


"Medicine is so advanced now; what's the danger of you giving birth alone? But Yu Xiaoxiao can only rely on my son. If something happens to her, can you take responsibility?"


Already affected by unstable hormones, hearing her self-righteous nonsense, I endured my postpartum pain, stood up, and began to berate her.


"Am I vicious? Professional teams going into Lop Nur might not come out. You want me to go in when I just gave birth yesterday? How is this not murder?"


"Jiang Yuzhou dared to lead a rescue team there, which proves he knows the dangers of Lop Nur and is prepared for my daughter not to have a father!"


"For someone who has nothing to do with me or my daughter, he recklessly risks his life!"


"Such a person, who completely disregards us as mother and daughter—whether he lives or dies, it's none of my business. I don't want my daughter to be without a father and also without a mother."


Even my unreasonable mother-in-law was left speechless by my retort.


I knew what she was trying to say and directly interrupted her, "He's not my husband. I'm prepared to divorce him!"


"Of course, that is if he's still alive to come back!"
