Seeing that neither Xi Quan nor Zhang Sao said anything, Ye Qing didn't say anything either and went straight upstairs.
Xi Quan followed behind Ye Qing, a little worried about her.
Aunt Zhang stood there watching Ye Qing's retreating figure, thinking about how Ye Qing hadn't even glanced at her when he passed by. Aunt Zhang didn't know why, but she suddenly burst into tears and choked out Ye Qing's name.
Ye Qing had been trying hard to control her emotions.
She was just an ordinary person. Although she had experienced so many things that made her want to swear, she had long since become numb to it all. But that numbness was just her own perception.
In fact, Ye Qing could not remain calm after overhearing Xi Quan and Zhang Sao's conversation.
No matter how you look at it, Ye Qing is the victim in this whole affair; she was the one who was abandoned. She hasn't even cried yet, but Aunt Zhang is the one who started crying first!
Hearing Zhang Sao's sobbing behind her, Ye Qing was suddenly enraged. She gripped the stair railing, turned around abruptly, glared angrily at the weeping Zhang Sao, and sharply questioned, "Why are you crying? What right do you have to cry?"
Although Ye Qing's tone and attitude were quite unpleasant, Zhang Sao thought it was much better than Ye Qing's expressionless demeanor when he first entered the room. She swallowed hard, wiped away her tears, and prepared to explain, "I..."
"What? You had your reasons back then, didn't you?" Ye Qing interrupted Zhang Sao and asked back.
Although Aunt Zhang noticed that Ye Qing's mood was off, she still nodded: "Yes, back then..."
"After you divorced Ye Shuwei, you found out you were pregnant, and with twins no less. You couldn't raise them yourself, so you gave them away... Oh, no, not given them away, you even got paid for them, you sold them, didn't you?" Ye Qing asked with a half-smile.
Aunt Zhang hadn't expected Ye Qing to know all this. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but couldn't find the words, because what Ye Qing said was true.
Seeing Zhang Sao's silent expression, Ye Qing became even angrier!
She slowly walked down a few steps. Xi Quan, who was standing next to her, was afraid that Ye Qing might miss a step in her anger, so he reached out to support her, but Ye Qing shook him off.
After regaining her balance, Ye Qing held onto the railing again. "Is it difficult for a woman to raise a child? Of course it is."
I only found out I was pregnant after I went abroad. At that time, Xi Quan had an accident and I couldn't contact him at all. I had to go to school and have a child. When I first went abroad, I couldn't even speak the language and was not used to the food. Plus, I had morning sickness during pregnancy. Every day felt like the end of the world because I was so nauseous that I felt like I was going to vomit bile.
But I never thought about not having the child, because it is my child. No matter what Xi Quan does, from the moment I found out I was pregnant, I never thought about not having Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin.
It was snowing heavily the day my two children were born. I was alone in my rented apartment when my water broke. I was desperate and called for an ambulance, but was told that it wouldn't be coming because of the snow.
what do I do?
Having two children, twins, is inherently more dangerous than for the average person. If I had given birth at home, neither the children nor I might have survived. I endured the contractions alone and went to the hospital in the freezing cold. The doctor said I needed surgery, but no one was there to sign the consent form for me. I signed it by myself, my hands trembling with pain.
Because I had twins, and walked for so long in the freezing cold, I suffered severe postpartum hemorrhage. After I was rescued, the babies, being premature, needed to be in incubators. But Ye Yiran's condition wasn't good, and the doctors even suggested giving up, saying, "You had twins, after all, you still have another child." No, that was the child I risked my life to bring into the world; I couldn't abandon him.
Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing must have had a tough time back then, so after they reconciled, Xi Quan didn't dare to ask about what happened back then, including the matter of having children.
Because he didn't want Ye Qing to recall the past.
But unexpectedly, under these circumstances, Ye Qing revealed what happened back then. With each word she spoke, Xi Quan felt as if someone was choking him, tightening their grip little by little, the pain making it hard to breathe, and he felt like he was about to suffocate.
He couldn't help but hug Ye Qing: "Don't say anymore, don't say anymore, it's my fault..."
Ye Qing was passively held by Xi Quan. She sniffed, then pushed Xi Quan away and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had flowed out without her noticing.
With a smile, I looked at Aunt Zhang, who was crying uncontrollably: "The baby was born, and things gradually got better, but I still have to go to school. There's no one to help me take care of the two children, so I have to take a break from school and stay home to look after them. I'll only be able to go back to school when they're older enough to go to kindergarten. I take care of two children by myself. Often, they're asleep before I've even eaten, and by the time I've finally started eating, they've probably already woken up. After soothing one of them, I have to go and soothe the other one, and so on."
Was it difficult? Yes, it was! But I persevered because it was my child!
So please don't tell me about your difficulties back then, because that's not a reason at all. I'm a mother too, and I've thought countless times about how I was such a hateful baby who could make my own mother so heartless as to give me away!
I even wondered how much I hated my own mother to have sent me to the Xu family, and how I lived there! Do you even know?! And now you're trying to explain? Explain what?! You have the nerve to explain? I'm too ashamed to even listen!
After saying that, Ye Qing felt as if all the pent-up anger in her heart had finally been released, but she was not happy.
Although tears streamed down her face, her gaze remained cold as she looked at Aunt Zhang, who was shaking her head and sobbing: "Forgiveness isn't that easy."
After saying that, Ye Qing didn't intend to say anything more. Just as he was about to turn around and go upstairs, Ye Qing stopped, slowly turned around again, looked at Zhang Sao, and said indifferently, "Pack your things and go."
Then Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan: "Pay her wages. It's not the end of the month yet, but we'll calculate it based on the end of the month."
"Ye Qing, I don't want money, I don't want money. You're about to give birth, you can't be alone..."
These words enraged Ye Qing once again: "All that I just said, was it all for nothing?!"
Abroad, I was all alone, and I didn't even speak the language. I could manage on my own, and I even had two children. Now I have a husband, so why can't I? Why have you become so important to me?
If you're so important, why didn't you do this sooner? Now you're showing your so-called maternal love, don't you think it's a bit too late? I'm not a two-month-old baby anymore, nor am I two years old. I'm already a mother of two, and soon I'll have three. My mother isn't really that important to me.
My own mother was just reminding me that everything I went through was deserved, because if even my own mother didn't want me, what could I possibly hope for?
After saying that, Ye Qing turned around angrily, but before she could even lift her foot, she frowned and instinctively bent over, clutching her stomach. Seeing Ye Qing's condition, Xi Quan anxiously called out, "Ye Qing, Ye Qing..."
