The news of Tong Qian waking up quickly spread among the neighbors in the community.
The reason was that Xiao Liu happened to call Tong's mother to offer some comfort, but was instead told this good news by the excited Tong's mother.
"Sister Liu, Qianqian is awake, she just woke up. The court ruling is out, saying it was self-defense and not illegal."
"Oh my god, that's wonderful. I always said Qianqian is a lucky girl. Once she gets over this big hurdle, everything will definitely go smoothly for her from now on. Just wait and enjoy the good life."
The mother sighed, "What happiness is there to enjoy? After this experience, I've come to terms with it. As long as she's safe and healthy from now on, I don't ask for anything else."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Liu immediately posted about it in the community's residents' group chat.
While surprised, everyone was also happy for Tong Qian and sent virtual flowers to celebrate in the group chat.
Nana was delighted when she saw it and quickly forwarded it to Zhang Cheng, who was delivering food, and also called Tong's mother to congratulate her.
When Nana brought lunch to Wang Fang at noon, she changed her usual grave-visiting expression and went in humming a song.
Wang Fang's room reeked of a foul stench. In just half a month, her hair had turned completely white, and she looked withered and emaciated. Only her old eyes, filled with resentment, still held any spirit.
Seeing that it was cold steamed buns and boiled vegetables again, Wang Fang angrily cursed:
"You heartless bastard, you unfilial brat! You feed me this every day, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about? I want to eat meat."
Unlike her usual self, Nana didn't ignore her and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with steamed buns and vegetables? They're light and nutritious. Eating too much meat is bad for your health."
"You're talking nonsense. I think you're just deliberately torturing me and hoping I'll die sooner."
Nana chuckled: "Didn't you say that to me when I was in postpartum confinement? You've already forgotten it after only a few years?"
Wang Fang choked, suddenly remembering how she treated Nana when she was in postpartum confinement.
Nana had just given birth and couldn't get out of bed. Zhang Cheng was always at work and not home, so he repeatedly told her to take good care of Nana.
How did she do it?
She disliked Nana for giving birth to a money-losing child and didn't want to care about her at all. She only fed her steamed buns, vegetables, and instant noodles every day, without any meat.
Nana wants to order takeout, but she either won't open the door for the delivery person or she takes it back and eats it herself.
At that time, Nana was obedient and timid, and dared not resist her at all; she could only hold the child and cry.
What did she say at the time?
She said, "Which woman doesn't have children? You're just being dramatic. Back in our day, women were still working in the fields even when they were about to give birth."
Some people give birth right there in the field, unlike you guys who waste so much money going to the hospital to give birth.
"During postpartum confinement, you should eat steamed buns and vegetables, which are light and nutritious. Eating too much meat is bad for your health and will make you fat."
Back then, we couldn't even afford cornbread. When we were starving, we'd eat grass roots and tree bark. You're complaining about white flour steamed buns? You're truly ungrateful.
“I didn’t starve you, and you still dare to complain to my son? I’m taking care of you and you’ve made a mess of things.”
"Hmph, you gave birth to a girl and you still have the nerve to let your mother-in-law take care of you during your postpartum period? If I were you, I would have died of shame long ago."
The new mother was already weak, and without proper nutrition, Nana developed severe anemia after her postpartum period and had to stay in the hospital for a month.
Later, she was tricked by Wang Fang into getting pregnant with her second child. She couldn't have an abortion because of anemia, otherwise her life would have been in danger.
Seeing Wang Fang's guilty look, Nana teased, "Oh, you remembered. I was just treating you the way you used to treat me."
"I didn't starve you, so how is that mistreatment? In your words, you're just not destined to enjoy a life of luxury."
Wang Fang picked up the bowl with a frustrated expression and retorted stubbornly, "Then I'm still luckier than Li Shuhui."
“From now on, she will only be able to look after her living dead daughter. Who knows, one day she might not be able to pay the hospital fees, and when Tong Qian breathes her last, she will follow her.”
Nana was speechless: "Isn't that all your fault?"
Thinking of the purpose of her trip, Nana feigned surprise and said, "No way, no way, you don't know?"
Wang Fang looked completely bewildered: "Know what?"
Nana laughed and said, "Tong Qian is awake. She just woke up this morning. The verdict in the case is out. She was found not guilty. The whole neighborhood has heard about it."
What did you say?
Wang Fang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, dropping her bowl and spilling vegetables and steamed buns all over the floor.
"I don't believe it. You're lying to me. She's been in a coma for a month. How could she suddenly wake up?"
Nana said indifferently, "Believe it or not, just consider it a lie."
Wang Fang's old eyes blazed with anger, her mouth twisted in rage, and she shouted resentfully:
"Why? Why is Li Shuhui so lucky? Why didn't that brat Tong Qian die? Why didn't Li Shuhui die?"
Wang Fang originally only wanted to bring bad luck to Li Shuhui and her daughter, but after crippling them, she cursed them every day to die quickly.
Nana sneered, "Then why don't you die? You're so old and you're still polluting the air. Tong Qian is in the prime of her life, why should she die?"
"Tong Qian was able to wake up because Aunt Shuhui is kind-hearted and never harms anyone. That's why she's blessed. Of course, you, an old vicious woman who has suffered retribution, can't understand that."
Wang Fang said bitterly, "Even if that brat wakes up, her life is over. What man would want a woman who has killed someone?"
"Tong Qian is educated and capable, what does she need a man for? To spend money on her? To cause her trouble?"
Wang Fang said with a malicious look, "She killed someone and spent a month in the hospital. Her company must have fired her a long time ago."
Without a job and still having to pay the mortgage every month, Li Shuhui is going to suffer a lot in the future. I'm just waiting to see them, mother and daughter, get into trouble.
Nana rolled her eyes; this old man had gone completely mad.
Even with his own despicable behavior, he still hasn't given up, and spends all his time hoping that Aunt Shuhui will suffer misfortune.
Nana stopped arguing with her and turned to leave the room.
Wang Fang cursed to herself for a long time, until she was hungry and thirsty. Seeing the cold and dirty steamed buns and vegetables on the ground, she had no choice but to bend down and reach for them.
She lost her balance, fell off her wheelchair and onto the ground. Lying on her stomach, she grabbed some vegetables and steamed buns and stuffed them into her mouth, then picked up a glass of cold water and gulped it down.
After taking two sips, she couldn't control herself and urinated in her pants.
Wang Fang could no longer hold back and collapsed onto the filth, sobbing uncontrollably.
God, why is my life so miserable!
Wang Fang was right about one thing: Tong Qian was indeed fired from the company.
She first became a murder suspect, then fell into a coma for a month, and the company had already sent her a document terminating her employment contract to her email address.
When Boss Qi saw the document, he grinned broadly, thinking, "I'm going to make a fortune!"
She wasn't planning on going to work anyway, but she had to make some money.
Tong's mother went to complete the discharge procedures, and Qi An immediately called his superior, General Manager Sun.
"You little brat, you want to fire me? Fine, but you'll have to pay me back."
General Manager Sun was surprised for a moment, then said insincerely, "Tong Qian? You're awake! Congratulations! You've survived a great calamity, and good fortune is sure to follow."
But as for compensation, you've been absent from work without cause for so many days, I'm afraid…
Qi An, impatient with his evasive arguments, cut to the chase: "Enough with the nonsense, I need to see the compensation in my account within an hour."
If it's too late or too short, I'll send your wife all the information about your mistress and illegitimate child.
"I wonder if you, this old man who rose to power by living off a woman, will still be able to continue to live off her in the future."
