Li Qingqing frowned deeply, looking at Shu Ying with some confusion: "Yingying, Xie Zhiyan is injured?"
Shu Ying hadn't originally planned to tell Li Qingqing about this, but now she couldn't hide it anymore.
She took her hand, reassuring her.
"Yes, he encountered an accident on the train on his way back. The train exploded and caught fire. He evacuated the crowd immediately, but because he was seriously injured and inhaled a lot of smoke, he is still in a coma."
Shu Ying couldn't help but sigh, feeling that fate was playing tricks on her.
All they wanted was to meet, but they kept missing each other, one by one.
Li Qingqing looked a little nervous: "Is it that serious? What did the doctor at the hospital say? If you need any help, please let me know."
Eager to prove herself, she said, "You don't need to worry about my health. I've recovered more than halfway and am feeling great now. When I was pregnant, I would get very breathless after just a few steps, but now I feel as light as a feather."
The two women traveled together from Shanghai to a completely unfamiliar place, only to find that the breadwinners of their respective families were both in the hospital, leaving them with no one to rely on but each other.
Shu Ying smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about things at the hospital. Duan Huaichuan is busy enough for you. I've already thought about Xie Zhiyan. He might not wake up for a while, but I'll just go to the hospital every day. We're still young, we'll find a way later."
If Shu Ying were sad, Li Qingqing could comfort her, but Shu Ying acted so calmly that Li Qingqing didn't know how to start a conversation.
She knew Shu Ying well; no matter what pressure she was under, she would only keep it to herself.
But a person's capacity to bear it is limited. If she can't bear such a heavy burden, what will happen to the two children?
She was about to say something more, but Shu Ying changed the subject: "Alright, you don't need to worry about me anymore. Duan Huaichuan will wake up soon. Have you thought about the future?"
Their relationship was on the verge of collapse. If Duan Huaichuan had any conscience, he might be willing to change his mind for the sake of the child.
But if he is heartless, how will Li Qingqing cope with her situation in the army with her child?
Li Qingqing shook her head, her gaze gently falling on the sleeping child: "I'm too tired. I don't want to think about it anymore. Giving birth to Tuantuan safely has already taken too much of my energy. I just hope he can grow up safely. As for other icing on the cake, if there are any, then I'm naturally happy. But if not, I shouldn't force it."
She has become a mother, so she should support her child and protect him from the wind and rain. How can she get caught up in love and romance all the time?
Shu Ying slapped her leg with one hand: "That's more like it. What I admired most about you when we were in school was your ability to let go. You've finally stopped clinging to this stupid relationship."
Letting go of some things is actually a good thing. Only if Li Qingqing can think things through will she not be constantly consumed by internal strife.
Shu Ying glanced around, lowered her voice, and leaned towards Li Qingqing.
"Anyway, Duan Huaichuan has a high salary and a high position now. You might as well take this man. You two are legally married and protected by law. You should try to be more open-minded."
Shu Ying's eyes sparkled: "Why do you care who the person in his heart is? In the end, the person beside him is you. Use his money and his power to raise the child first. Once you have a stable life, then think about other things. There are plenty of men in the world, and the one thing you won't lack is men!"
Women can certainly be independent, but the premise of independence is by no means complete dependence on themselves.
Duan Huaichuan is like a big tree; true wisdom lies in knowing how to utilize the resources around him.
Li Qingqing laughed out loud, placing one hand on the armrest of the sofa, naturally agreeing with Shu Ying's point of view.
“This is what I was thinking on the way here. Right now, I only want to focus on the child. Tuantuan is so young, I can’t not think about him. I don’t care how Duan Huaichuan views it when he wakes up, but I will hold on tightly to what belongs to my child.”
No one can take a single point from us!
"Besides, military marriages are protected, and breaking a military marriage can land you in jail."
Shu Ying couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "This is the Li Qingqing I knew back then."
She quickly relaxed her shoulders again, saying, "My biggest worry right now is that bringing the child here will be a burden to you."
If Xie Zhiyan hadn't fallen, she would have accepted Shu Ying's kindness with a clear conscience.
But now that the house is in such a mess, Shu Ying can't even guarantee she'll stay out of it, so she'll naturally be even more anxious and fearful.
Song Zhaodi tidied up the kitchen and wiped every corner of the yard clean before finally coming in from outside.
Watching the two of them talking animatedly, she didn't interrupt, but just sat quietly to the side and listened.
"What's there to worry about? I'm not made of clay. Anyway, all these messy things have already come together. I'll get through it all by myself. The three of us can stick together for warmth. It's better than being alone, bumping around like a headless fly."
With Shu Ying's words, Li Qingqing was completely relieved.
"That's good. As long as you don't have any burdens, I can feel more at ease. Duan Huaichuan and I will solve our problems together. No matter what he thinks, I know you are my strong support."
Shu Ying looked up and glanced around. Song Zhaodi was working quickly, wiping every visible surface until it was spotless.
“The incident happened so suddenly today. It’ll probably take a couple of days for your and Duan Huaichuan’s houses to be approved. Anyway, Xie Zhiyan won’t be discharged from the hospital anytime soon, so let’s all squeeze in here for now. That way, we can look out for each other if anything happens.”
Otherwise, spending all your time on these useless things will only make you overly tired.
Li Qingqing nodded: "Okay, that's what I was thinking too. We can do it slowly when everyone has more free time. Otherwise, we have to take care of patients every day, and now you're busy too. If we live too far apart, it will be too hard."
Li Qingqing silently prayed that Xie Zhiyan would wake up sometime soon.
Although Li Qingqing had only met him a few times, she always felt that Xie Zhiyan was a good person and would be a good father.
Shu Ying glanced at Song Zhaodi next to her, who sat properly on the sofa.
When the two of them were whispering to each other, she would deliberately avoid them, acting as politely as if she were a stranger.
Shu Ying moved a little closer and specially brought her an apple from the table.
"Sister Song, don't worry about the job. Since I took the initiative to bring you here, I'm bound to be responsible for you to the end. I already told Xiao Wang at the hospital today that he will find you a suitable job near his workplace. I heard that one of the cafeteria ladies is retiring, but it will be two months before she retires. We'll look for other jobs together. You don't need to feel too much pressure."
