Zhou Chang'an helped Qin Hanshu retrieve the telegram from the commune, and he naturally saw the contents of the telegram.
Zhou Chang'an asked proactively, "When do you want to leave? I'll give you a letter of introduction."
The telegram said that Yang Aizhen was ill and that Qin Hanshu should return home immediately to visit her.
If it's a real illness, and it's gotten to the point where a telegram was sent asking Qin Hanshu to return, then it certainly isn't a minor ailment.
However, Yang Aizhen has always been healthy and rarely even catches a cold. In her previous life, after Qin Hanshu died, there was no news of Yang Aizhen suffering from any serious illness in the space.
This illness came on very strangely.
Qin Hanshu recalled what Grandma Wu had said in her letter: the Hu family was having a hard time, and Yang Aizhen was being forced to go out and collect night soil to support the family...
The reason they're asking her to go back is most likely for money.
In Yang Aizhen's eyes, the passbook was stolen, but she could go to the bank to get a replacement.
Even if it wasn't for money, it was for Hu Bingbing. Hu Dayong's scheming and ugly face was clearly imprinted in her mind.
In short, it's definitely not a good thing for Qin Hanshu.
She had no intention of going back to visit the sick person.
Qin Hanshu thanked Zhou Chang'an for his kindness, and then said, "Spring plowing is just around the corner, so I won't be going back."
Zhou Chang'an didn't say anything at the time, but he called Zhao Chunmiao to persuade her.
Zhao Chunmiao said, "You're such a good kid. Even your own mother is sick, and you're still thinking about spring plowing! Forget about spring plowing, hurry back and see her. Your family wouldn't send you a telegram for a minor illness."
Zhao Chunmiao believed that Qin Hanshu was young and did not understand the seriousness of the matter, which was why he said he would not go back.
Qin Hanshu was silent for a moment, then said, "Auntie, you don't know what happened. My mother isn't sick at all."
"Not sick?" Zhao Chunmiao opened her mouth in surprise. "Then the telegram..."
“The telegram was a lie; she just wanted to trick me into going back.” At this point, Qin Hanshu felt there was nothing left to hide. “My father died a long time ago, and my mother remarried. My stepfather had a mentally challenged son, and they’ve always wanted to match me up with that mentally challenged man.”
Zhao Chunmiao was even more shocked, and it took her a long time to process this information.
"They mean, your mother, and that..."
"And my stepfather."
"Your biological mother and stepfather want you to marry your stepfather's mentally challenged son??"
Qin Hanshu nodded. "I heard them discussing this with my own ears."
"Ouch..." Zhao Chunmiao rubbed her throbbing head, incredulously saying, "This is my biological mother? She's worse than a stepmother! Has she been kicked in the head by a donkey? How could she possibly want to marry her beautiful daughter to an idiot?"
"Even the most wicked stepmother I've ever met wasn't like this!"
After saying that, Zhao Chunmiao covered her mouth as if she had misspoke, then took Qin Hanshu's hand and said, "Auntie didn't mean anything by it... Is there some misunderstanding?"
Zhao Chunmiao could believe it was possible that her father and stepmother conspired to harm her, but her own mother... There's an old saying: "Better a mother who begs for food than a father who is an official." No matter how bad her mother is, she wouldn't treat her daughter like this!
Zhao Chunmiao couldn't believe it.
Qin Hanshu shook her head. "There is no misunderstanding. I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."
Zhao Chunmiao was at a loss for words, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at Qin Hanshu.
"You child, I never knew your life was so hard..." Zhao Chunmiao's eyes filled with tears, and her hand holding Qin Hanshu trembled.
Qin Hanshu had long since passed the stage of grieving over fate, but at this moment, she couldn't help but be affected by Zhao Chunmiao, feeling a slight pang of sadness in her heart, and at the same time, she had a stronger desire to confide in others.
"Actually, the reason I was able to join the queue was thanks to my stepfather. Fortunately, my father was wise and left me some money, which made my life a little easier."
"Even the little money left behind is probably being eyed by the stepfather's family..."
Unable to contain herself, Zhao Chunmiao pulled Qin Hanshu into her arms, crying, "You blind God, you just can't stand to see people do well, sending you down with all this suffering..."
Zhao Chunmiao was slightly plump and had a faint smell of cooking oil on her, which wasn't unpleasant but rather gave people a sense of home and comfort.
Qin Hanshu obediently nestled in Zhao Chunmiao's arms, listening to Zhao Chunmiao curse God for a long time.
After finishing her tirade, Zhao Chunmiao said in a choked voice, "Xiao Shu, I liked you from the first moment I saw you. To be honest, I even considered bringing you home as my daughter-in-law..."
Qin Hanshu straightened up and looked at Zhao Chunmiao.
Zhao Chunmiao added, "Later, Auntie realized that you and my third son were really not a good match, so she gave up the idea. Hearing you talk about these distressing things today, Auntie's heart aches."
Zhao Chunmiao looked at Qin Hanshu earnestly, "Shu, why don't you become my goddaughter? If anything happens in the future, your godmother, godfather, and your two godbrothers will support you!"
Qin Hanshu was moved.
She rubbed her sore eyes and then called out softly, "Godmother."
Zhao Chunmiao happily exclaimed "Ai!"
Zhao Chunmiao originally wanted to hold a proper ceremony to formally recognize godparents, but spring plowing was coming up, and she would be busy with that, so she didn't have the time.
Let's wait until we have some free time. We'll take Qin Hanshu to visit some close relatives and get to know them.
However, the term "godmother" has become widely used.
Zhao Chunmiao also notified her son immediately, while Zhou Weili from the county gave a verbal notification.
Zhou Weiguang, who was in the army, was notified by telegram.
Zhou Weiguang was filled with questions when he received the telegram.
What is his mother doing causing trouble?
Did they turn their future daughter-in-law into their god-sister?
