Lin Sisi's gaze fell again on the still bulging handbag. "Mom, why did you buy so many things for Lin Qingyan? Is it because you want to get closer to her? To avenge Guanghui?"
Fang Huilan nodded. Although she did care about Hei Lin Guanghui's revenge, she had little motivation left. The task Yang Yuanting had given her was the most important thing.
"Sisi, Mom wants to avenge Guanghui, but she can't just kill Lin Qingyan directly. She can only try to reconcile with that girl and secretly kill her."
"But he's so wary of us, will he give us a chance to get close to her?"
"Let's try again. What if our 'sincerity' can move her? This is a military region, I'm her stepmother, and there are so many neighbors around. She has to give me some face, otherwise it will make things awkward for everyone."
Lin Sisi knew she couldn't stop her mother, so she could only nod in agreement.
As Lin Sisi bent down to pour water, Fang Huilan glanced casually and noticed the red string hanging around Lin Sisi's neck. "Sisi, you're still wearing that jade pendant, aren't you?"
But when she saw Lin Sisi in Mopan Village last time, she didn't seem to notice the red string around her neck. She was only focused on Lin Guanghui's matter at the time and didn't pay attention.
"Hmm." Lin Sisi took out the jade pendant and told Fang Huilan about how she had lost it. "Mom, you know what, I really have a connection with this jade pendant. I accidentally lost it on the mountain in Mopan Village and couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. Later, it actually appeared in my mother-in-law's hands, and she gave it to me, hoping that the jade pendant would bring me good luck and give them a son."
Fang Huilan didn't care much. Judging from all the things that had happened to Lin Sisi over the past year, the jade pendant didn't seem to bring any good luck.
"Then you should wear it properly, and make sure no one else sees it."
"I know, Mom," Lin Sisi replied, then asked Fang Huilan, "Mom, when do you plan to go see Lin Qingyan?"
"Let's not delay, let's go tonight."
When Gu Mingzhou returned home from get off work, he saw Fang Huilan there and politely greeted her.
Fang Huilan knew his usefulness and didn't blame him for falling for someone else again. She was afraid that if she blamed him, he would divorce Lin Sisi again.
After dinner, before it got dark and it was bedtime, Fang Huilan decided to go to Lin Qingyan's house and asked Lin Sisi to come with her.
Seeing them carrying their things out, Gu Mingzhou casually asked, "Where are you going?"
He pondered who Fang Huilan might know here. Besides him and Lin Sisi, there seemed to be another person, Lin Qingyan.
Fang Huilan, as Lin Qingyan's stepmother, treated Lin Qingyan very badly, abusing her relentlessly. Now, she brings gifts to visit Lin Qingyan; does she want to reconcile with her?
Perhaps they only saw the value in Lin Qingyan and thought that they could profit from pleasing her, so they did it.
Fang Huilan nodded: "Yes, Qingyan is also one of my daughters. Since I'm here, I naturally have to go see her."
Gu Mingzhou really wanted to go with them and take this opportunity to get closer to Lin Qingyan. "It's already dark outside. Why don't I go with you?"
The mother and daughter instantly became wary. They both knew perfectly well what Gu Mingzhou was going to do, and they were not about to give him that opportunity.
Fang Huilan smiled. "This is a military compound. What danger could there be? Mingzhou, don't worry. Sisi and I will go. The three of us will definitely have a lot to talk about, and there might be some things that are inconvenient for you to be there."
Gu Mingzhou nodded. "Alright, be careful on the road."
Fang Huilan and Lin Sisi went out and whispered a few words to each other, mainly about Gu Mingzhou's purpose for going there.
After Lu Zhengting left, Lin Qingyan stayed home alone every night. Apart from visiting her neighbors, she would close the front door early.
Fang Huilan was very uneasy the whole way, fearing that Lin Qingyan would not welcome her and would kick her out of the house.
She and Lin Sisi arrived at the gate of Lin Qingyan's house, and Lin Sisi raised her hand and knocked on the door twice.
Lin Qingyan, who was inside the house, heard the knocking and went out with a flashlight.
Who's outside?
Fang Huilan and Lin Sisi exchanged a glance in the darkness, fearing that if they made a sound, Lin Qingyan would hear them and refuse to open the door.
Fang Huilan stammered, making her voice muffled.
Yes, it's us.
Lin Qingyan sensed something was wrong, so she went over and opened the door a crack, shining her flashlight outside. Seeing that it was Fang Huilan and Lin Sisi outside, she immediately closed the door again.
"I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be two mad dogs."
"Qingyan!" Fang Huilan knocked on the door. "Qingyan, open the door. Mom and Sisi have brought some things to see you. Please let us in for a while."
"Fang Huilan, stop trying to curry favor with me. I haven't had a mother in ages. If you want to be my mother, you can just die right now."
"Qingyan, Mom was wrong. Mom is here to apologize. Please forgive Mom."
Lin Qingyan guessed at her intentions. She had done the same thing in Mopantun Brigade last time, just like Yang Yuanting, deliberately trying to please her. She guessed that this time would be no exception.
"I've already told you, if you want me to forgive you, you and Lin Sisi will both die. Otherwise, forget it. If you're not willing to die, then don't stay here. I don't have time to deal with you. Get out of here and don't dirty my doorstep."
"Qingyan, don't keep talking about death. If we die, you'll lose two family members."
