Lu Qingyan said, "What's the use of a promise made with just words? If you don't take it seriously, it's just empty talk. You're saying nice things now, but who knows what will happen in the future? I'm not here today to object to you being with my mother. Hearing you say that, I know you already know that my mother is still a married woman. However, my mother has already said that she is going to divorce my father."
Lu Qingyan could see it clearly; a hint of hidden joy flashed in Lin Jian'an's eyes.
"The main reason I'm here today is to ask: Is it Lele's idea that you want to marry my mother, or is it your idea?"
Is there any difference?
"Of course there's a difference. If you just want to find someone to take care of Lele, then what my mom is doing now should suit your taste. Although she's also working for a salary, my mom's love for Lele is absolutely genuine. You don't have to marry her for this reason at all; even without this relationship, she would still do her best. If it's for your own sake, then I hope you treat her well, because you know how hard her life has been. Also, since she's going to get a divorce, you should go with her."
In that small mountain village, divorce was rare. But no matter who was at fault, the woman was always the one who was punished in the end.
Lu Qingyan thought that since she couldn't escape the crime anyway, she might as well take this opportunity to openly bring the person back. With one more person protecting her, Sun's mother's life wouldn't be too difficult.
Having gained his stepdaughter's approval, Lin Jian'an felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
After consulting with Lele, he decided to take Sun's mother back to their hometown to settle their private matters.
So, Lele was left with Lu Qingyan.
Fortunately, the little girl was well-behaved and didn't cause much trouble, so Lu Qingyan had an easy time taking care of her.
Lu Qingyan didn't know what happened after they went back, but two weeks later they reappeared in front of her with two marriage certificates.
Sun's mother didn't look very happy, and Lin Jian'an was even more so, with a bruise on his face.
Lu Qingyan guessed that this was probably because Sun Fu had hit her.
The two of them looked at Lu Qingyan with evasive eyes, hesitating for a long time before deciding how to speak. This delay caused them to miss the best opportunity to speak.
Since they were unwilling to talk about it, Lu Qingyan did not force them.
Before long, Lin Jian'an and Sun's mother returned to their sweet and loving relationship, and with Lele among them, their life got better and better.
Gradually, Sun's mother came here less and less, focusing more on her new family. Consequently, Lu Qingyan was gradually forgotten.
Lu Qingyan wasn't too disappointed about this. She was so busy right now that she didn't have time to pay attention to so many things. Perhaps it was the best outcome to just avoid each other. After all, sometimes it's inconvenient to get along like before when you're too close.
Winter passed and spring arrived, and summer vacation was here again in the blink of an eye. Lu Qingyan, carrying a thick stack of documents and pulling her suitcase, boarded the last bus of the day.
She was still wondering how Sister-in-law Jin was doing and how long until the baby was born.
When Lu Qingyan arrived, she found that Sister-in-law Jin was still busy with work as before, except that there was a cup next to her filled with white liquid, which looked like milk.
