After the doctor left, Wu Qiaoqiao asked Liu Mingxin and Zhao Xiuxiang to help her sit up. Initially, the two disagreed, but after Wu Qiaoqiao said she felt uncomfortable lying down, they agreed. They slowly helped Wu Qiaoqiao up, but even with the gentlest movements, she still retched a bit after getting up. However, she didn't vomit anything, as she hadn't eaten anything in three days.
Liu Mingxin and the other two looked at the delicate woman sitting on the hospital bed. Her lips were pale, her face was haggard, and she looked very thin. She was truly frail, especially with a layer of mist on her eyes due to dry retching. It seemed that if she just blinked slightly, the mist in her eyes would turn into tears and roll down her face. Seeing this, the three of them wanted to find a handkerchief from their bodies to wipe her tears that were about to fall.
This was also because Wu Qiaoqiao hadn't looked in the mirror and couldn't see her current state, otherwise she would have definitely said, "What a large, delicate white lotus." Of course, this was also due to the original owner's physical condition. Although she was pregnant, if you only looked at her face and from the back, you wouldn't be able to tell she was already seven months pregnant. Therefore, the high bulge of her belly looked a bit scary. Wu Qiaoqiao felt heartbroken as Zhao Xiuxiang and the other two sat on the hospital bed.
During these three days, while everyone took turns caring for her, Zhao Xiuxiang returned to the village and met with Liu Mingfeng's uncles and cousins for a meeting. Afterwards, Zhao Xiuxiang decided that she would live with Liu Mingfeng and Wu Qiaoqiao to help them take care of their children. When Zhao Xiuxiang got old, Liu Mingyi and his brother would take care of her. Actually, the reason for this decision was that when Zhao Xiuxiang's husband, Liu Wusheng, passed away, the brothers Liu Mingshan and Liu Mingfeng wanted to take her in to live with them in her old age, but at that time, Zhao Xiuxiang didn't like Cai Shufen and therefore didn't agree.
Now they all know Liu Mingfeng has woken up, and he sent a telegram when he decided to be discharged and return home, which they received. So they're no longer worried about him. Before Wu Qiaoqiao woke up, they were a little worried, afraid she wouldn't recover and wouldn't be able to get through this difficult time with her two unborn children. Now that Wu Qiaoqiao is awake, they have even less to worry about. They plan to tell Liu Mingfeng about this when he returns, so Wu Qiaoqiao won't be too tired, and Liu Mingshan's two children will be taken care of. However, given Liu Mingfeng and Wu Qiaoqiao's personalities, they probably won't abandon Liu Mingshan's two children.
Seeing Wu Qiaoqiao's haggard appearance, Liu Mingxin asked her if she wanted anything to eat. If so, she told Feng Mingran to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some. Wu Qiaoqiao said there was no need to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy food. She couldn't eat right now, after all, she was still a little dizzy. So she went directly to the hospital cafeteria to buy some porridge.
Liu Mingxing said, "That's impossible. How can you be healthy if you don't eat?" She had money and notes, so Wu Qiaoqiao didn't need to save them for him. She took out some notes and gave them to Feng Mingran, telling him to go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some food. She didn't want to buy greasy food, just something light. She took a lunch box from her bag and handed it to Feng Mingran, asking him to see if the state-owned restaurant had white flour noodles. If so, she could make a portion for Wu Qiaoqiao.
Wu Qiaoqiao originally wanted to say no, but upon hearing about white flour noodles, she couldn't help but swallow hard. You see, in her previous life, after the apocalypse, she only ate white flour for a year when there was plenty of flour and rice available. After the pre-apocalyptic production ran out, it was gone. Even the plants researched and cultivated by the wood-type ability users in the base were mutated; although edible, the taste was indescribable. As a result, after nutritional supplements were developed, they drank them directly and never ate natural food again.
Now she can't help drooling when she hears about eating white flour. Fortunately, the people present only thought that her son Wen was hungry because he hadn't eaten for three days, but they didn't know that he was just greedy. Wu Qiaoqiao saw the sweet potatoes and corns that the original owner ate from her memory. Although they were not as delicious as those she ate before the apocalypse, they were definitely better than the things grown in the late apocalypse. Wu Qiaoqiao said that she was very satisfied with what she saw. Even if she had to go to the fields to work in the future, Wu Qiaoqiao felt that she could accept it for the sake of food.
Besides, her husband was also a veteran, and with him around, she believed that she would never suffer in this world. You know, at the beginning of the apocalypse in her previous life, Wu Qiaoqiao was crying while killing zombies, but every time she came back after killing the zombies, it was her childhood sweetheart who would hug her and cry. Now that she has come to this world with food and drink, she will never suffer.
When Feng Mingran came back from buying food, Liu Mingxin asked Wu Qiaoqiao
"Second sister-in-law, what are you going to do with Cai Shufen and the others?"
Wu Qiaoqiao touched her round belly, feeling the movement of the two babies inside, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
“I don’t plan to pursue Cai Shufen; let her out. As for Cai Xiaobao, since he’s in the police station, he shouldn’t come out. All the things that the three of them took from home should be taken back. The elder brother’s compensation money will be left to Cai Shufen; consider it money for her to give to Liu Jiasheng’s two children.”
When Liu Mingxin heard this, she jumped up immediately and expressed her disagreement with Wu Qiaoqiao's proposal. She meant that the pension also included two children, so how could it all be given to Cai Shufen? Zhao Xiuxiang stopped her and told Liu Mingxin not to be anxious and to listen to Wu Qiaoqiao finish her words.
"Don't worry, the entire compensation from my brother's death benefit wasn't given to Cai Shufen, and she's not getting the money for nothing. She'll sign an agreement under the supervision of the police to relinquish custody of the two children, meaning that the children will have nothing to do with her from now on, no matter what."
Liu Mingxin calmed down after hearing Wu Qiaoqiao's words. After thinking about it, she realized that it made sense. However, she didn't notice the cold light that flashed in Qiaoqiao's eyes as she was stroking her belly. Liu Mingxin didn't see this cold light, but Zhao Xiufang did.
