Chapter 192

The atmosphere in the ward was depressing. No one spoke, and no one chased after them. Jiang Qiumei went from breaking down in tears to biting a towel to stifle her sobs. Zheng Xiaomin, initially shocked and sad, now sat silently weeping.

Compared to the eldest, Zhong Yunfei, Zheng Xiaomin and Zhong Yunxi were very close in age, so they grew up together. She had always been a pushover, always trying to steal Jiang Qiumei's attention.

There were many children in the family, and there were many places to spend money. In addition, there was a shortage of materials in that era, so she wore new clothes from childhood to adulthood, and her sister wore her old clothes.

Even so, her mother was always worried that she and her brother would be wronged, so she would always give them the first preference in everything. Over the years, she had gone from being secretly pleased with herself to being accustomed to it.

But even though she and her brother received all the favoritism from their mother, she had been jealous of her sister since she was a child, just because her father was still alive.

I still remember how I didn't take it seriously when my mother first talked to me about my sister going to the countryside.

"Uncle Zhong can ignore me and my brother, but he can also ignore her?"

If she had been less jealous and selfish, would these things not have happened?

On the other hand, Zhong Yunfei was also feeling bad. She was more than ten years older than Zhong Yunxi and did not have much contact with this little sister. But every time she returned to her parents' home, Zhong Yunxi would happily rush up to her and call her "big sister".

She had been the most opposed to her father's remarriage, believing that stepmothers, especially those who brought children with them, were not good people. Later, after Jiang Qiumei married into the family, she brought her two younger brothers with her to oppose the three of them.

People love the house and its dog, but they also hate the dog and the house. Zhong Yunfei always remembers that Zhong Yunxi is Jiang Qiumei's biological child, not their half-sister.

Later, she got married and had her own family and children, but in her heart, her two younger brothers were still the only ones she considered her biological children. When her younger brothers reached a certain age, she cared more about them than anyone else, urging her father to find a solution while running around with her lover.

In order to keep her brothers in the city, she arranged countless blind dates for them and even considered adopting her brothers to an elderly widow or widow's family as a successor.

But when it came to her youngest sister, she really never had any snacks. Even when her father asked her to come home for a reunion dinner before she went to the countryside, she deliberately found an excuse to turn it down.

The most ironic thing is that in the same year that her younger sister went to the countryside, she also arranged two blind dates for her younger cousin from her aunt's family, allowing her cousin to stay in the city by getting married.

Zhong Yunfei got married early and moved out of the Zhong family early, but Zhong Hao and Zhong Ming lived in that family until they became adults.

Zhong Hao moved out when he got married. Zhong Ming didn't have a house when he got married, and he still lives in the Zhong family now.

Regardless of whether they could do something for this little sister, they really never thought about doing anything for her.

They had never been to the countryside, but they had heard of the experiences of the educated youth who went there. They had also heard similar stories, even stories that were several times more erotic, that Weisheng described in a straightforward manner.

What were they thinking at the time?

They thought the countryside was in chaos and that the lives of those educated young women were ruined, but they never imagined that such a fate would befall their little sister, with whom they lived day and night.

No, it’s not that they didn’t think about it, but they just didn’t want to and were unwilling to waste even a bit of energy on this little sister.

Now... besides regret, I feel more embarrassed.

He subconsciously looked at his wife, but he didn't dare to look into her eyes. He was afraid that this matter would spread and embarrass them, and he was even more afraid of seeing disappointment and contempt in his wife's eyes.

Zhong Yunfei's husband and Zheng Xiaomin's husband were also here. After the nominal brothers-in-law looked at each other, they saw regret and complexity in each other's eyes.

Especially for Zhong Yunfei's husband, his wife's aunt's cousin has been visiting their home from time to time in the past two years, and he often expresses his gratitude. His wife's pride at that time is still vivid in his mind, but thinking about it now makes him feel extremely ironic.

Zheng Xiaomin's husband couldn't help but think of the past when every time he saw his sister-in-law, she would obediently and sensibly call him brother-in-law.

Thinking of the girl with an indifferent expression and thin figure just now, Zheng Xiaomin looked at his mother-in-law and wife with a more complicated look in his eyes.

Because he clearly remembered that before his sister-in-law went to the countryside, he had mentioned something to his wife.

At that time, a technician had been assigned to their factory. He was in his mid-twenties, young and promising, with excellent skills. He had told his wife that his sister-in-law was pretty and well-behaved. He invited the technician to his home for dinner and also called his sister-in-law over. If they were compatible, it would be a good match.

But his wife said that they already had parents and didn't need her, as their older sister, to worry about them. If they didn't get along well, she would be blamed. Even if they did, she wouldn't be grateful to him.

Things have come to this... even he, her brother-in-law, feels heartbroken, let alone her own sister who grew up with her.

The two brothers-in-law felt uncomfortable seeing their brothers and sisters acting like this. The two sisters-in-law in the room walked to the window and said nothing, but had a fight with their eyes.

Zhong Yunxi had never been favored, so she was very soft-hearted and had a good temper. Whether it was towards her brother-in-law or sister-in-law, she was always well-behaved and obedient.

Compared to those troublesome younger sisters-in-law and the elder sisters-in-law who always want to be their mother-in-law, the two daughters-in-law of the Zhong family still like Zhong Yunxi very much.

Among these people, apart from Zhong Shanghai who was still sleeping in the hospital bed, the one who regretted the most was Jiang Qiumei.

If she had put half, or even one-third, of the care she gave to her eldest daughter into arranging things for her younger daughter, she would not have hated herself so much even if her younger daughter still went to the countryside.

It was she who ruined her little daughter's life.

She couldn't imagine how desperate her daughter must have felt when she was dragged into the woods. She couldn't imagine how helpless her daughter must have felt when she was forced into marriage, let alone the pain of having a seven-month-old child kicked to death...

She always thought that her youngest daughter's biological father was still alive, and she was happier than her brothers and sisters. However, in the end, she was the one who suffered the most.

The more Jiang Qiumei thought about the past, the more she regretted it, and the more she regretted it, the more she hated herself. In the end, she fainted in front of Zhong Shanghai's bed.

Seeing Jiang Qiumei fainted, Zheng Xiaomei and others hurried to help her, and then someone went to the nurses' station to call the nurses and doctors to come and see her.

After everyone placed Jiang Qiumei on the bed on the side, Zhong Shanghai also woke up from his coma as if he had sensed something.

He looked around with difficulty with his dim eyes, and when he didn't see his little daughter, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to everyone.

Some of the others could tell what he was about to say, while others didn't. Weisheng, however, clearly saw Zhong Shanghai's lips moving through the open ward door.

Oh, because so many people were gathered around the bed, Weisheng had placed a custom-made, adjustable sofa in front of the window. When there were more people, he simply operated the lift switch to raise the sofa half a meter. This allowed Weisheng, who was in his own space, to gaze down at Zhong Shanghai in the bed.

He said, 'Is Lao Liu back?'

He also said, "When Lao Liu comes back, I'll let her take over my job and stay in the city."

"Tsk~"

Zhong Yunfei's eldest son was thirteen, Zhong Hao's eldest daughter was only three, and Zhong Ming's child wasn't even born yet. If Zhong Yunxi, who was Zhong Hao's descendant, wasn't allowed to take over the class, there wasn't anyone else who could.

Of course, if he could live another five or six years, he might still have to hesitate and struggle between his youngest daughter and his grandson.

Belated...family love?

Oh, even dogs don’t want it.

At this moment, Weisheng, who was not afraid of being fat at all, took out another box of roasted durian. He ate it in small bites with a small silver spoon while observing the expressions of everyone in the ward.

None of the Zhong family's children dared to tell Zhong Shanghai that the sixth child he mentioned had not only returned, but also left decisively.

And what about Jiang Qiumei?

If Jiang Qiumei were awake, she would definitely cry and scold Zhong Shanghai without caring about anything, making him regret his actions and feel heartbroken like herself.

Zheng Xiaomei and her husband, who were awake, didn't want to say anything at this time. They were even more afraid that if they said those words, they would send Zhong Shanghai away directly, and then the Zhong family and Jiang Qiumei would blame them.

Zhong Shanghai then signaled his children to send a telegram to his youngest daughter, and then fell asleep again.

When Zhong Shanghai fell asleep again, everyone in the room remembered something.

None of the relatives in this room wanted to chase after anyone.

Finally, the two daughters-in-law of the Zhong family stood up and said, "Maybe Yunxi has returned home. Let's go home and take a look."

After saying that, they left the ward without caring what others thought.

As they walked out, they whispered that if the old man really wanted to do this, he should have let his sister-in-law take over his job.

Yes. If my sister-in-law had taken over, perhaps none of these things would have happened.

If this woman can't have children, what hope is there in her life?

Who says it isn’t?

Who told you that a woman’s only hope is children?

Weisheng was almost choked by the words of the two wives of the Zhong family. He rolled his eyes in annoyance and was too lazy to watch the pantomime in the ward anymore.

After getting off the chair lift, Weisheng went to wash up and rest.

Weisheng didn't close the window because he didn't want to miss any news outside.

In a daze, she thought she heard Jiang Qiumei and Zheng Xiaomin talking in the corridor. Weisheng had no feelings for anyone. After reviewing the original owner's memories, she didn't even have a favorable impression of them. Listening to them crying and making excuses now only made her more annoyed.

Weisheng turned over and went back to sleep. When it was almost dawn, he heard his two brothers-in-law whispering in the corridor.

He slept until nine or ten o'clock in the morning. After washing up, he took a bowl of tonic to continue nourishing himself. Seeing that only the two brothers Zhong Hao and Zhong Ming were left in the ward, Weisheng was still wondering where the others had gone.

Either going to work or going home.

After all, we can't all just stay here and do nothing.

Jiang Qiumei felt a little uncomfortable in the late night, so Zheng Xiaomin took her home first. After dawn, Zhong Yunfei and her husband and Zheng Xiaomin's husband went back to work.

At around seven o'clock, Zhong Ming's wife delivered a meal and then went to work.

So now only Zhong Hao and Zhong Ming were guarding the bed.

After a good sleep, he felt a little better. Looking out the window, Weisheng had a new idea.

It was late summer and early autumn of 1973, four years before the resumption of the college entrance examination. She had no fondness for Ding'an Village and had no desire to return. She didn't want to be noticed, so she had to work alongside the villagers.

She is such a lazy person, and that kind of life is really not suitable for her.

Another thing is that Weisheng was tired of these relatives and didn't want to live in Huacheng under the identity of Zhong Yunxi.

After much thought, Weisheng decided to use the skills he learned when he was studying antique restoration to make a fake identity for himself.

After things here are over, Weisheng will go to Bai City, the capital of Nan Province. He will then use his medical or mechanical abilities to stay in the city and take the college entrance examination when it resumes.

In this life, Weisheng will study law again and become a female lawyer specializing in divorce cases!

Speak up for the millions of women who are treated unfairly in their marriages.

Of course, she won't put down her butcher knife either.

If the law cannot give women fairness and justice, then... kill the gods who stand in the way, and kill the Buddhas who stand in the way...
