Chapter 788: Chapter 530: Informing
First watch arrived.
—————————-
“Crash into the front of my house?” Zhou Jingping looked at Qin Xiangyi with amusement, “Do you think you can threaten me like this?” He waved his hand, “If you want to crash, go ahead, I won’t stop you.”
Qin Xiangyi was a bit dumbfounded. She didn’t really want to die, but having said it, if she didn’t do something, wouldn’t she be looked down upon even more?
It’s just, how should she control the intensity? If too light, people wouldn’t take it seriously, but if too heavy, she’d suffer, and if she died… she shivered, she didn’t want to die!
Even if Jiang Xinyu wants to divorce her now, doesn’t she still have her son, as long as her son stands by her, one day, her husband would return to her. If she really died, then it would all be over.
“Grandma, use this as a cushion.” Yingying, at Chuxia’s gesture, handed a sponge to Qin Xiangyi, “With this, it won’t hurt to crash.”
“You…” Qin Xiangyi glared angrily at Yingying, lifted her foot and walked out. Since this family looked down on her so much, there was no point in fighting for face in front of them. Humph! She wasn’t going to suffer for nothing!
“So is she going to crash or not?” Chuxia muttered, curling her lips, as she pulled Yingying and Tongtong upstairs to report the situation to Lin Yanqiu.
Lin Yanqiu was sitting inside the room daydreaming. Seeing Chuxia bringing the two little ones in, she forced a smile, “Qin Xiangyi left?”
“She left…” Chuxia recounted the whole scene to her. After she finished, Lin Yanqiu sighed helplessly, “People, they just can’t live in peace and insist on making trouble. Now everything is messed up, and they are happy.”
“Yeah, she thought others really took her seriously, even threatening people…” Chuxia said, curling her lips, “She doesn’t have the guts to die, what’s with the act of being Liu Hulan.”
“Who’s Liu Hulan?” Yingying asked curiously, “Is she very brave?”
“Of course…” Chuxia then told Yingying about Liu Hulan’s deeds, and the little girl listened with tears in her eyes, “Aunt, the enemies are so bad, where are they now, can Uncle chase them away?”
Chuxia patted her little head, “They’ve already been chased away, by Great-grandfather and the others, they won’t dare bully us again.”
With a look of admiration, Yingying smacked her little lips, “Great-grandfather is amazing!”
Tongtong didn’t quite understand the meaning of the story, but she liked Yingying, so she mimicked her and smacked her little lips, “Great-grandfather is amazing!”
“Little ones, what do you know?” Lin Yanqiu laughed, hugging the two into her arms, kissing each of their foreheads, “Come on, let’s go downstairs.”
“Okay!” Yingying responded happily, very excited. Since she came to this house, it was the first time Lin Yanqiu was so affectionate with her, she already understood things, and this genuine closeness made her feel very safe.
With a slight hesitation, Chuxia held Lin Yanqiu, who was about to walk out, “Mom, I have something to tell you.” Then patting Yingying’s little head, “Take Tongtong downstairs first, I’m going to talk to Great-grandmother.”
The little girl nodded, looking eagerly at her, “Aunt and Great-grandmother will come down later, right?”
“Yes, we’ll come down later.”
Hearing this from Chuxia, Yingying was at ease and took Tongtong’s hand, “Sister Tongtong, I’ll take you to play downstairs, when adults talk, children should be sensible.”
“This child, she is really different now.” As the two little figures disappeared outside the door, Lin Yanqiu couldn’t help but sigh, “So, the growing environment for children is too important in their early years. Aiping and Zhongkang, Nanping turning out like this today, you can’t fully blame them.”
“Yes.” Chuxia echoed, then told Lin Yanqiu about Mei Xiaofeng’s affair, she wanted to say it in the morning but didn’t have the time, and she also hoped Liang Xiaohong would speak up herself.
But up until now, Liang Xiaohong hadn’t told anyone in the Zhou family, seeing her sitting there, restless, Chuxia felt worried for her. They were all family, why bother?
Before dinner, she quietly asked Zhou Mikang what to do about it. Zhou Mikang suggested she find time to tell Lin Yanqiu or even Old Madam Zhou.
At the time, her response was, why don’t you tell them yourself? Zhou Mikang glared at her but didn’t say anything and left.
Her brain wasn’t that dull, after a little thinking she understood, this was something her mother-in-law heard and then told her. If Zhou Mikang said it, it would show that she, as a daughter-in-law, didn’t consider herself part of the Zhou family yet. That’s why, the regiment commander Tongzi was thinking about her.
Originally she was thinking about how to find an opportunity, unexpectedly Qin Xiangyi came, giving her a chance to be alone with her mother-in-law.
After listening to her, Lin Yanqiu looked utterly shocked, “No wonder your second aunt has been absent-minded today, asking her, she just said she didn’t sleep well. This person, normally seems gentle, how could she do such a foolish thing?”
“Mom, what are you going to do?” Chuxia looked at her somewhat anxiously, “If Second Aunt knows it was me who said it, will she hate me? Well, my mom didn’t eavesdrop on purpose, it’s just that Second Aunt kept repeating it, my mom couldn’t help but hear it.”
“You child…” Lin Yanqiu looked at her with a reproachful expression, “You’ve been with your mom and dad for so long, you should know what kind of people they are. How could you misunderstand them?
Moreover, your mom can speak out about this matter, which shows she’s genuinely close to the Zhou family. I’m grateful to her, why would I consider her meddling?”
Chuxia had an embarrassed look on her face, “I was just worried that Aunt might overthink.”
“Forget it, since she needs this face, I won’t expose her. I’ll listen to you and make more food suitable for patients,” Lin Yanqiu sighed. “Watching your second and third uncle’s kids, I feel uneasy too. If I had the means back then, I would never have left them unattended.”
“Mom…” Chuxia held her hand, unsure how to comfort her.
“It’s nothing, I suddenly felt a bit emotional. I’ll discuss with your grandma later to decide what to do. If the Mei family finds out that Mei Xiaofeng attempted suicide, how can they forgive Zhongkang?
They weren’t particularly fond of the marriage in the first place; causing such a situation regardless of our awareness will surely make the Mei family feel that the Zhou family doesn’t care about Mei Xiaofeng.
Extending further, it seems Zhou family doesn’t value Mei family, and now that the two families are on the same side, such an incident would be bad.”
“Mom, I know; that’s why I asked Zhou Mikang whether we should say anything, otherwise, I’d stay silent.
Sometimes pretending not to know is tiring. It’s manageable for the three of us to pretend, but for the whole family, it’s just too exhausting.”
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went downstairs, Liang Xiaohong was no longer in the hall.
“Mom, where’s Xiaohong?” Lin Yanqiu asked Old Madam Zhou quietly.
“She said she had an appointment with a friend in the evening and left hurriedly,” Old Madam Zhou frowned. “But she looked off, flustered, and she even had Aunt Liu pack some porridge for her, saying her friend hasn’t eaten and she’s bringing some.”
“Oh!” Lin Yanqiu sighed and told Old Madam Zhou what Chuxia had discussed with her.
“Laoer’s Wife seems quiet but has heavy thoughts…” Old Madam Zhou sighed as well, “She doesn’t realize that such a big matter, concealed for a while, can’t be hidden forever?
Even if it heals, scars on the wrist can’t be unseen by others! Winter can cover it, but what about summer? And which mother doesn’t have sharp eyes? Once Xiaofeng returns home, this couldn’t be hidden! Is she trying to make Zhou family and Mei family enemies…”
…
Zhou Zhongkang sat by the bedside, occasionally looking up at the IV, sometimes pushing the control lever, as if he couldn’t relieve his guilt without doing this.
Mei Xiaofeng looked at him amusingly, “I’ve said, as long as you don’t talk about separating from me again and don’t refuse to forgive others, I don’t blame you at all. On the contrary, I feel I’ve gained. Please don’t be so tense, okay?”
“I know you don’t blame me, but I blame myself.” Zhou Zhongkang appeared regretful, “During the New Year, having you suffer like this…”
“Stop blaming others.” Mei Xiaofeng interrupted him, emphasizing again, “It’s all in the past. Let’s only focus on the good aspect, okay?”
“Okay.” Zhou Zhongkang nodded, holding Mei Xiaofeng’s hand, “From now on, I’ll truly listen to you in everything, I promise not to argue with you again.”
“How many times have you said that?” Mei Xiaofeng looked helpless, “I believe you now, I truly do. We’ve been together long enough; you should know my character, I never hide myself from you.”
“Meeting you is the greatest blessing of my life…”
“If you know that meeting her is your greatest blessing, why did you drag her to the hospital?”
At the ward door, stood Mei Yitong with a dark expression.
“Big… Big brother…” Mei Xiaofeng nervously tried to sit up when Zhou Zhongkang hurriedly supported her, Mei Yitong frowned, “Honestly lie down, why fidget around?”
“Big brother, why… why are you here?” Mei Xiaofeng stared at him apprehensively, “Have grandpa, grandma, and my parents… already learned about this?”
“If they knew, would they only send me alone?” Mei Yitong glanced at her, then frowned at Zhou Zhongkang, “You know the pressure she took marrying you, yet you vowed fiercely at the time that you’d treasure her as a gem for life, not letting her suffer a bit. Is this how you’ve been doing?”
“Big brother, I’m sorry.” Zhou Zhongkang lowered his head, full of guilt, “I realize my mistake; I’ll never commit such foolish errors again, I promise!”
“Why would I believe your promise?” Mei Yitong said coldly, looking at him, “What’s your qualification to make me believe your promise?” (To be continued.
