"Don't worry. In my heart, my mother has been dead for a long time." This was the first time Fang Qin had said such a harsh thing.
Before coming to the hospital, Old Lady Liu and her husband actually planned to find some folk remedies to get rid of the baby in Fang Qin's belly.
If it weren't for the bachelor who wanted to marry Fang Qin saying that using folk remedies to abort the baby would most likely make it difficult for her to conceive in the future and insisting on getting the betrothal gifts back, Fang Qin wouldn't have been dragged to the hospital.
It was precisely because she came to the hospital that there was a turning point in the matter.
Fang Qin's eyes were red-rimmed. "I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you don't want to be reported, just do as I say obediently. I'll come to get the money tomorrow morning. If you renege on your promise, don't blame me for being merciless."
Lin Wanning watched as Fang Qin, who used to be gentle and virtuous, seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
Sure enough, those who climbed out of the darkest depths couldn't be cowards. Compared with the once gentle and introverted Fang Qin, Lin Wanning preferred the current decisive and calm Fang Qin.
Lin Wanning limped and supported her sister - in - law. The two disheveled women couldn't help but burst into laughter through their tears when they looked at each other.
Although the Lin family wasn't a wealthy merchant family in the past, at least they never had to worry about food, clothing, and daily necessities.
With their knowledge and self - cultivation, they always dressed elegantly and properly when they went out. They would never be as disheveled as stray cats like they were now.
When they got home, Zhou Huaian went shopping for groceries first.
After Zhou Huaian left, Fang Qin couldn't help but ask Lin Wanning curiously, "What on earth happened to you?"
"Aren't you married to Gu Zhendong?"
Lin Wanning pursed her lips. There were so many twists and turns in this matter that she didn't even know where to start.
She first found some clothes for Fang Qin and handed them over. "Why don't you take a bath and change your clothes first? I'll tell you slowly later. This matter can't be explained in just a few words."
Fang Qin noticed that the once innocent and unworldly Lin Wanning seemed to have a lingering sorrow between her eyebrows. At this moment, Fang Qin seemed to understand a bit.
She didn't continue to press Lin Wanning and took the clothes to the bathroom.
Lin Wanning was also worried that her sister - in - law might fall. She specially found a chair for her so that she could sit, and even moved the small rug at the door into the bathroom.
"Sister - in - law, be careful not to fall. If you need help, just call me. I can even help you take a bath."
Hearing this, Fang Qin suddenly blushed.
Just this small act made Fang Qin feel that Lin Wanning seemed to be a different person. Before, she was always the one being taken care of, arranged, protected, and loved.
And at that time, Lin Wanning didn't know how to take care of others at all.
Fang Qin looked at Lin Wanning欲言又止 but didn't say anything and went straight to the bathroom.
Outside, Lin Wanning wasn't idle either. She supported the wall and limped slowly to Zhou Huaian's room. She took out a bag of milk powder, brewed it, and put it on the table, waiting for Fang Qin to drink it after taking a bath.
But after taking a bath, Fang Qin really wasn't used to Lin Wanning's thoughtfulness.
In her eyes, she came to rely on Lin Wanning. If she couldn't get the money her parents owed her later, she really didn't know where to go.
"Sister - in - law, I brewed some milk powder for you. Have a drink." Lin Wanning said as she opened a packet of Chinese cakes.
Although she had never been pregnant in her previous life, she knew that pregnant women were very greedy.
If their cravings weren't satisfied, it would easily affect their mood.
"Don't open this. I'm penniless now and have already caused you trouble. You don't have to be so polite."
Fang Qin felt so ill at ease because of Lin Wanning's sudden enthusiasm.
"You're Zhiyuan's younger sister, but you're also living under someone else's roof. And now I'm here too. It's..."
"Don't worry. As long as my parents return the money Zhiyuan gave them to me tomorrow, I'll definitely find a place to stay on my own. If you have nowhere to go, I can take you with me."
Fang Qin's eyes were extremely sincere. This long - lost care between family members suddenly made Lin Wanning's eyes moist.
She couldn't tell if she was happy or sad. She looked at her sister - in - law with a mix of laughter and tears.
"I've already submitted a marriage application with Zhou Huaian, and our report has come down..."
"..."
Lin Wanning told Fang Qin the whole story of what happened in the Gu family and how she got together with Zhou Huaian.
When Fang Qin learned that Lin Wanning was going to the Heilongjiang Province, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Fang Qin tightly grasped Lin Wanning's hand, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be held back.
"Do you mean that you're going to the Heilongjiang Province in two days? To follow your husband there and find Mom and Dad?"
Seeing the tears welling up in her sister - in - law's eyes, Lin Wanning nodded seriously. "Yes. We'll see Mom and Dad in two days."
"Can you take me with you? I'm in good health. Really. At first, your brother was just being over - worried and over - scared. He insisted on sending me back."
"The hardships I suffered in my natal family were the real ones."
Fang Qin's eyes were full of sincerity. Even when waiting for Lin Wanning's answer, her heart was in her throat.
She really missed her husband, and she didn't want her child to be born without even knowing what his father looked like.
Actually, Lin Wanning also wanted to take her with them. She wasn't worried about other things, but was just worried that they couldn't get the introduction letter here.
"Sister - in - law, don't be in a hurry. I really don't feel at ease leaving you alone here."
"But your household register seems to have been moved back to your natal family. If you want to go to the countryside with us, you must move your household register out. Otherwise, the neighborhood committee won't issue you a certificate and an introduction letter, and that won't work."
Fang Qin was touched to the point of choking when she saw that Lin Wanning agreed without hesitation and even thought about the procedures for her.
"It's okay. I'll go back and ask for it tomorrow. If they don't give it to me, I'll definitely report them."
Lin Wanning shook her head. She thought it definitely wouldn't work to rely on them. According to Old Lady Liu's unreasonable character, she wouldn't let Fang Qin go easily.
"No, we can't go directly. I have to find a group of people to go with us."
Thinking of this, Lin Wanning's eyes suddenly brightened.
As soon as Zhou Huaian came back, Lin Wanning asked if the people who deliberately injured them today had been caught.
"Xiao Zhao caught all of them, but the leader refuses to confess who instigated them."
"I'll go there myself after I finish cooking. If I can't get them to talk, I'll send them to the police station."
"Don't. Don't rush to send them away." Lin Wanning rolled her eyes and came up with the idea of using someone else's hand to kill.
Since others could instigate these hooligans to hurt people, why couldn't she? Under the guise of redeeming their crimes, she could just ask them to do things. Wouldn't it achieve good results on both sides?
