After getting to know the two of them, she realized that the most important thing for a woman is to be independent. If she only revolves around one person, life really becomes meaningless.

In the afternoon, when they had some free time, the two children were having a great time playing on the playground. Shuying has recently learned to do housework, but she's not very fast at it.

Song Zhaodi was busy preparing to go to Li Qingqing's place to tidy up the house first. After a brief discussion, the adults took basins and rags and went to the front yard.

“Although this area is a bit small, it’s more than enough for your family of three. When you clear the land, you can plant some fruits and vegetables or some flowers, which would be great.”

Song Zhaodi came from the countryside, and seeing such a nice yard awakened her inner vegetable grower.

Although there are basically no expenses here, and the vegetables don't cost much, even things given away for free are not as reassuring as food grown by oneself.

Li Qingqing felt a long-lost warmth in her heart; finally, there was a place that could accommodate her and her child.

"This is my first time here too. I didn't expect it to be so well-equipped. It's actually quite decent. We just need to clean up the dust in the room."

After finishing her milk, Tuantuan fell asleep again. The little guy slept like a pig and didn't even realize that they had been moved to a different room.

Shu Ying wet the rag in her hand and wiped the back of the sofa, quickly making the wooden sofa shiny.

Thanks to the hard work of the three women, the house, which was originally a bit dusty, was instantly transformed.

Shu Ying had never worked for such a long time before. She shook her slightly sore arms and looked towards the largest bedroom facing the sun.

"This room is quite spacious; I'll put the things I give you here."

She could already imagine the various beautiful little clothes that Li Qingqing would make with her sewing machine, and wear them on the children and herself.

That was so heartwarming.

The group was tired but happy. Song Zhaodi cleaned the kitchen again: "From now on, I'll be running back and forth between the two places. Luckily, your two families aren't too far apart. I'll treat it as exercise every day."

Shu Ying and Li Qingqing both paid her a salary. She felt more at ease knowing that each of them was taking care of her. Otherwise, she would always feel uneasy taking money from both of them.

After tidying up the yard inside and out, Shu Ying opened the windows in the house.

"Duan Huaichuan is still in the hospital, so let the house air out first. Otherwise, you and your son should go back to the hospital tonight. The room is empty anyway."

The group of people had been together all along, and now that the families were suddenly going to live separately, Shuying felt a little reluctant to part ways.

Li Qingqing locked the door to the room: "Let's go."

As evening approached, Shu Ying prepared some things that Li Qingqing needed for her room before remembering that she still needed to visit Xie Zhiyan at the hospital.

Li Qingqing specially picked out some good fruit: "Let me go with you. We'll see each other sooner or later. You've helped me so much, and I haven't visited him yet. Today is a good opportunity."

Song Zhaodi noticed that no one mentioned Duan Huaichuan. Although she was surprised, she didn't ask any questions. However, she was a little conflicted about whether she should go with them to visit Xie Zhiyan.

She shouldn't go; after all, they are the host family, and she has stayed there for so many days for free, receiving so much kindness from Shu Ying.

But if he went, his relationship with Shu Ying and Li Qingqing would only be that of employer and employee, not family.

It was a bit presumptuous of her to say she wanted to go without being asked.
