He Runqing wasn't in a good mental state. She had been getting injections and was very sleepy. She fell asleep holding Chen Yifei's hand.
Feeling groggy...
She was scared herself. Before Chen Yifei came, she had been holding on by herself. Now that she saw him, she finally felt at ease. Before she knew it, she held his hand and fell asleep.
Seeing her so weak and listless, Chen Yifei felt sorry for her.
Thinking of pulling away to find out what happened, just as I was about to pull my hand away, she opened her eyes, her double eyelids still blurry.
"Don't go, okay?"
"I'm not leaving, sweetie, go to sleep."
Chen Yifei touched his head, and she finally felt at ease and fell asleep. Only then did she let go of his hand.
Don't be fooled by this girl's sunny and optimistic exterior; she's actually quite scared when she's alone, and her unconscious actions reveal her affection for him.
Chen Yifei pinched He Runqing's little face, listened to her even breathing, and then glanced at his mother and second sister.
As they were leaving the ward, Zhang Cuizhi quickly said, "Your eldest sister didn't come. She's cooking at home. We also felt it wasn't appropriate for her to go out and move around since she's so pregnant."
"Qingqing is really lucky this time."
Chen Yifei nodded and asked carefully, "What exactly is it?"
"Qingqing shouldn't have fallen down for no reason."
"And it was right next to a well..."
Chen Yifei was genuinely frightened by the word "well." He needed to find out the truth; if it was truly unavoidable, blocking all the wells in the village wouldn't be a problem.
Chen Xue nodded: "I'm also investigating this matter, and I've asked Hu Zi and the others to help me with it. This matter is related to Zheng Fang, which makes things problematic."
"Zheng Fang?"
"How so?"
"At that time, our Runqing fainted there, and the county magistrate's secretary found her and said that Zheng Fang had also fainted next to her. When the people from our village went to check, they found that both of them had fainted there."
"Zheng Fang's explanation was that she saved Qingqing. Most of the villagers believed her. But Qingqing hadn't woken up yet, so I felt there was definitely something wrong."
“Run woke up today and told us. Zheng Fang tried to push her into the well, but she held on tightly. This person was trying to harm her!”
After saying this, Chen Yifei felt a chill run through his body. He even wondered if Zheng Fang had intended to push someone...
So, in her past life, could it be that Qingqing didn't want to die?
Was he pushed down, but it was later said to be suicide?
The specifics are unknown, but Zheng Fang has certainly committed a criminal offense.
This time, my child and wife were also involved. The whole family almost had their lives ruined because of a business trip to Shenzhen!
Therefore, Chen Yifei could not let the matter rest.
"I understand, sister. You and Tiger continue to gather evidence, and try to hear something useful from the village."
"Well, the county magistrate's secretary witnessed it all, and my wife got into this mess. So the process isn't difficult. We just need to cooperate and it'll be fine."
“Previously it was detention for a period of time, but now we want life imprisonment.” Chen Yifei’s face was full of indifference.
The person who harmed his wife can forget about staying in this place.
They even want to oppose him?
Chen Xue nodded: "Zheng Fang is getting more and more crazy. We should take her away as soon as possible, otherwise our whole village will never have peace."
"You know, women are strange. When you're poor, they look down on you for being poor, but when you're rich, they're all eager to be with you. They said it was true love then, and they say it's true love now."
"How can you make so many excuses for your love?"
Anyway, Chen Xue found it very funny.
"I only found out about this today. My mom and I had been planning to settle the score for a while, but we couldn't leave to take care of Qingqing."
"So you go, representing our family, and talk to Dad about this."
“Our father can’t be soft-hearted anymore; he’s already lost all face. Zheng Fang mustn’t come and cause trouble; otherwise, it will affect his little grandson.”
Chen Yifei nodded: "I know."
"Don't worry, sis, I've handled this matter perfectly."
"You and Mom shouldn't move now, don't alert them. When I came back, the county head said he'd come with me to our village for the commendation tomorrow."
"The villagers don't know yet, but Zheng Fang is the most panicked. We'll just have to watch the show."
Respond to all changes with constancy.
"Okay, it's late now. You stay here and stay with the bed, and Mom and I will go to the hotel to sleep. We'll go back together tomorrow."
"You can sleep in the house I bought. It'll be ready soon," Chen Yifei said.
“Okay, let’s pack up a room to sleep in, and I’ll take Tiger over to sell pancakes tomorrow morning.”
Now Chen Xue can sell pancakes on her own, and she can also manage both the state-run restaurant and the square. However, since she sells so many pancakes, most of the customers gathered around are regulars.
Very few new customers follow, after all, the flow of people in the county town is only so big.
"Sister, well done."
Chen Yifei gave a thumbs up.
"We just have to do our best. What's wrong with being a woman? I'll be able to uproot a willow tree when the time comes." Chen Xue was incredibly excited.
"Sis, how are things between you and Tiger?"
"It's alright..." Chen Xue said vaguely, "Tiger has been helping out lately, even though it's all things you assigned him, I feel he's a good person."
"Mm." Chen Yifei nodded.
"Tiger is a nice, honest kid, and I like him a lot."
Chen Yifei smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, I was just worried you wouldn't."
"What are you saying, you brat?"
"Whoever marries me in the future will be your brother-in-law. What if Tiger becomes your brother-in-law?"
Chen Xue found it amusing: "Just wait and see, you'll get your comeuppance. You're always joking around now."
“If that’s true, I’ll be very happy. I’m glad my sister has found someone she likes.”
Chen Yifei didn't have any grand wishes. His biggest wish was for his family to be happy and healthy, and for them to have good health. Of course, having love would also be great.
"Alright, I agree with what you said."
Chen Xue smiled and said, "I'll bring you both breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Chen Yifei said after seeing his mother and sister off.
I took a deep breath and went to talk to the doctor about Qingqing's condition and health. After I understood everything, I realized that I had a clear understanding of the situation.
She went in to stay with him at the hospital.
Chen Yifei watched his wife fall asleep, then unfolded the folding bed next to them. His sister and the others had already laid out the bedding. After making the bed, Chen Yifei planned to turn off the light.
He Runqing slowly woke up at this moment.
"husband."
Her voice was soft, and she still sounded drowsy from just waking up.
"I'll stay with you tonight." Chen Yifei stood up and tucked her in. He Runqing rubbed her eyes and nodded.
"I'm not afraid when you're here."
