Jiang Xingzhi shivered, a chill running down his back. He grabbed his mother, who was still about to argue, and shook her head vigorously. The family left reluctantly.

"Don't be angry, today is a good day, let's go home and celebrate!" Lin Shufang persuaded.

"I'm not angry, I'm happy, I'm finally free." Lu Qinghua cried and laughed at the same time.

“From now on, live well with Yinyin. If anything happens, just say so. Your parents are unreasonable, but we're here for you. You can talk to anyone. It's better than you having to suffer alone,” Lin Shufang said.

He Hongxia, standing to the side, curled her lip. What could a woman like her do? She had given a lot of money over the years. Lin Shufang was just talking without understanding the situation.

Lu Qinghua nodded, feeling much more at ease. Lu Jiangang's absence was within her expectations, but she still felt disheartened. He Hongxia was slightly better; at least she gave her money, albeit not much, it was a token of her goodwill. However, Lu Qinghua still harbored resentment. Money wasn't what she wanted; what she wanted was something He Hongxia couldn't give, nor did she want to.

She now understands that her parents weren't being unreasonable, but rather selfish. They didn't want her to cause them trouble or affect their quality of life, which is why they made her swallow her anger and wouldn't allow her to get a divorce.

The family returned to the compound, gave Lu Qinghua some pomelo water to dispel bad luck, and then gave her a bath to say goodbye to the past and welcome a new life.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast. The old man opened his treasured bottle of Moutai, and everyone poured a little. We drank it all together to celebrate Lu Qinghua's good fortune. The food and wine were delicious, and everyone was in high spirits. Everyone was especially happy.

He Hongxia couldn't help but say, "Tsinghua definitely can't go back to the hospital. How will he support Yinyin without income?"

Thinking about this makes her worried. She has two mouths to feed every day, and the children need to go to school. They don't have a house. He Hongxia just rented a small house. It's okay for one person, but it would be too crowded for two more people. Moreover, she doesn't want to take on such a heavy burden. The more she thinks about it, the more worried she becomes.

Lu Qinghua wasn't surprised. She had such a big incident, and the impact was too great. The hospital wouldn't keep her anymore, but she wasn't worried. She had hands and feet and she certainly wouldn't starve. She was no longer the Lu Qinghua who was ambitious but incompetent ten years ago.

She'd be happy to sweep the streets if you paid her.

"Don't worry, even if I go to collect garbage, I won't ask you to pay for my living, and I certainly won't go back home to live." Lu Qinghua knew what He Hongxia was thinking; she was simply afraid that He Hongxia would stay at home.

He Hongxia, having her thoughts exposed, felt embarrassed and said awkwardly, "I'm worried about you and Yinyin. Raising a child is never easy."

“No matter how hard it is, I will raise Yinyin. You don’t need to worry about it.” Lu Qinghua lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, not wanting to argue with He Hongxia. She had never relied on her parents at all.

He Hongxia said sarcastically, "You talk a good game, but you still asked me for money before."

Lu Qinghua felt a pang in her heart, and resentment welled up inside her. "That time, Yinyin was sick and had a fever of 39.8 degrees Celsius. I didn't have money to go to the hospital, so I asked you for money. But you only gave me fifty yuan, which wasn't enough at all. The head nurse paid the rest for me."

“I only had fifty yuan on me at the time, and you still blame me? How many times have I given you money over the years, you heartless bastard,” He Hongxia said, feeling wronged.

Lu Qinghua was both angry and helpless. "Yes, I did give you money, twenty or thirty yuan each time. Actually, I didn't go to you for money. I just wanted someone to stand up for me. You and Dad only told me to endure it and never thought about me. I kept track of all that money and I will pay you back in the future."
