Chapter 115 The Moon of Yesteryear
When Shen Quezhi rushed back, he heard the child crying loudly, and his legs went weak.
Xie Ning was inside washing the baby, wrapping the baby's navel, cleaning it, dressing it, and placing it next to Wu Li before starting to deal with Wu Li's lower body.
At this moment, Shen Quezhi walked in and said, "Comrade Xie Ning, thank you. Let me do it."
Seeing that Shen Quezhi was cleaning Wu Li without any disgust and with skillful movements, Xie Ning was happy to rest. Although this was a good child who did not make Wu Li suffer much, she had been running around and was on edge while delivering Wu Li's baby. Suddenly, she felt a little dizzy after the exertion was relieved.
I stood there for a long while before I came to my senses.
Lifting the curtain and stepping outside, she saw a woman wearing a short jacket with a side opening standing quietly in the courtyard. When Xie Ning looked at her, she nodded slightly, her hands clenching nervously inside her sleeves.
She couldn't help but ask, "Young lady, is the one inside alright?" She felt uneasy, thinking that her arrival had caused Shen Quezhi's current wife to give birth prematurely.
No, that's what everyone thinks. Even though no one blamed her, she was still uneasy, and her head gradually lowered.
Xie Ning shook her head gently, pulled the person to sit down on a mound of earth, and said, "It's not your fault. You didn't expect this either. There's no need to blame yourself."
It's uncomfortable to stand with bound feet; sitting is much more comfortable.
Chen Quezhi also came out, and Xie Ning, not wanting to linger, left with Erniu, giving them space to talk.
However, the others did not leave. Some of the women glanced at the two of them and then lifted the curtain to go inside to see Wu Li and the child.
With a guilty look on his face, Shen Quezhi felt a pang of pity as he looked at his ex-wife's gray hair. "Qin Xuan, Wu Li hasn't woken up yet. Let's discuss our matter after she wakes up, okay? Are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles."
Qin Xuan shook her head slightly, "There's no need to wait for her to wake up. I just happened to come and see you. Since you're already married, let's consider it a divorce. I know there's no love between us. Do we need to go through the formalities? I can go with you to do it now."
She is not a troublemaker, and her upbringing does not allow her to do anything unreasonable.
If Jiangsu hadn't suffered a disaster, and she had barely escaped with her life, now alone and without any relatives or friends, she would have fallen back into the same confusion she had felt before. Remembering the girl she had saved before who spoke of Yan An, she came here.
She never expected to find out about Shen Quezhi here.
After many years, Shen Quezhi has lost his sharpness and gained composure and gentleness compared to his youth. Although his appearance has changed, one can still vaguely see the shadow of his younger self.
"The commander who brought me here said that I can survive here no matter what I do. I don't need to rely on you, and I won't disturb your life. Don't worry."
Qin Xuan opened the bundle on her back, inside which were two wooden planks. She solemnly handed the two planks to Shen Quezhi, saying, "I am useless. I failed to protect my parents. These are the memorial tablets I set up for them. Please keep them safe."
When she handed over the two memorial tablets, Qin Xuan felt as if the mountain that had been pressing down on her had turned into a cloud, making her feel light and airy, and her mood improved considerably.
Shen Quezhi sighed and looked at Qin Xuan with gratitude in his eyes. "Qin Xuan, I am very grateful for your care for my parents over the years. I have let you down and I have been unfilial to my parents... If you ever have any difficulties in the future, please come to me."
Although she felt it wasn't a good time to speak, the woman taking care of the patient inside still called out, "Dr. Shen, Wu Li is awake. Please come in and take a look."
Shen Quezhi turned to Qin Xuan and said, "Let's meet and talk. Wu Li is a very good person. Let's lay everything out and make things clear. It's better for everyone."
Qin Xuan still stepped inside.
