Upon hearing the name "Nan Nan," Grandma Yan's wildly beating heart suddenly stopped beating normally, and her pale face gradually calmed down. Dong Nan, observing closely, also felt his tense heart relax.
The noise outside was still deafening. Wu Jinban’s cries for help, along with Tang Xiaoling’s sobs, startled Fu Bao and Duo Duo, who also started wailing at the top of their lungs.
At this moment, Yan Xiaoqiang's anger soared, and he cursed, "Let her die! Southwest, you get out of here too! Get out now, get out immediately!"
Southwest was filled with shame and stood at the door, not knowing what to do. It was Beinan who found a rickshaw outside and asked Southwest to take Tang Xiaoling to the hospital, as her leg would take two or three months to heal.
Five and a half catties of blood filled his mouth, which frightened Six catties so much that he backed away and almost fainted. It turned out that Six catties was afraid of blood. Bei Nan quickly picked up Six catties and put him in his room to lie down.
Xuemei picked up Fubao and gently patted her back until Fubao calmed down and stopped crying.
Cuihua wiped away her tears, picked up Wu Jinban, and helped him wash his face. Fortunately, the child hadn't lost any teeth yet, and new teeth would grow in later.
Wu Jinban clung tightly to Cuihua with a terrified expression, refusing to let go no matter what. Cuihua felt sorry for him; the poor child must be terrified. Was the Yan family's life too smooth sailing, so God sent someone to cause trouble?
Duo Duo was still howling in the west wing. This was the first time in so many days that Duo Duo had howled so loudly. In a fit of rage, Yan Xiaoqiang picked Duo Duo up, blanket and all, and carried her out.
Cuihua quickly stopped him, asking where they were going. Yan Xiaoqiang replied, "To Tang Jianjun's house. The Tang family is truly despicable. What use is this child? Let them be fed to the wolves!"
When Duoduo heard the words "lost to feed the wolves," he finally came to his senses and tightly shut his mouth. How could he have forgotten what happened on the train? He looked at Cuihua with pleading eyes, and Cuihua softened: "Qiangzi, Duoduo's surname is Yan, not Tang."
Yan Xiaoqiang deflated like a punctured balloon, muttering under his breath, "What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family!"
Bei Nan quickly took Duo Duo and brought her to Liu Jin, asking Liu Jin to take good care of Duo Duo. Liu Jin nodded somewhat reluctantly, but his eyes were filled with disgust when he looked at Duo Duo.
Yan Xiaoqiang and Cuihua were worried about their mother, so they ran inside and saw their mother leaning against the bed with Dongnan comforting her. They felt a little relieved.
Grandma Yan finally calmed down: "Cuihua, you and Xuemei take care of the children. Dongnan, go to the hospital and run errands for Xinan. He probably can't handle it alone. Qiangzi, go find Tang Jianjun and tell them what happened. Don't get angry, just talk to him properly."
Yan Xiaoqiang and the others nodded and did what Grandma Yan told them to do. Dongnan even rode his bicycle and ran to the hospital.
Yan Xiaoqiang angrily pushed his bicycle out the door. Just as he turned the corner, he ran into Tang Jianjun and his wife. Yan Xiaoqiang explained what had happened, then turned around and went back inside, skipping all the formalities.
Upon hearing that their daughter had hanged herself and was being taken to the hospital by a man from Southwest China, the couple panicked. Without even asking which hospital it was, they immediately hailed a rickshaw and rushed to the hospital. The rickshaw driver didn't ask any questions either; there was only one hospital in the area, so they figured they would just go there.
After learning about what happened that morning, Yan Xiaonan ran towards the north room in a flash, her consciousness already spreading outwards. Ye Chenming quickly followed her.
In the north room, Grandma Yan was wiping away tears with a handkerchief in her hand. She felt guilty because she was the one who asked Southwest to bring Tang Xiaoling to celebrate the New Year. If Tang Xiaoling really hanged herself here, how would she explain it to Southwest?
Yan Xiaonan pushed open the door and went in. When Grandma Yan saw her granddaughter and Ye Chenming come in, she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She just lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
Yan Xiaonan hugged Grandma Yan and sent a surge of mountain god energy to her: "Grandma, what's the big deal? Tang Xiaoling is just trying to scare people on purpose. Think about it, Wu Jinban is in the house. If he sees her hanging herself, he will definitely call for help. There are so many people in the house, how could she die?"
Grandma Yan felt warm all over, and suddenly realized something. Yes, she hadn't thought of that in her haste. But Tang Xiaoling was a ruthless character; she hanged herself without hesitation.
“Grandma, it doesn’t matter if she dies here. I can just sell the house. We have so many courtyard houses. Are you worried that we won’t have anywhere to go?” Yan Xiaonan continued to remind her.
Grandma Yan's tears slowly dried. "My dear child is right. As long as my dear child is safe and sound, nothing else matters. We've already separated the family. Are we supposed to keep worrying about each other forever?"
Ye Chenming also comforted her, saying, "Grandma, once the newly bought eight-courtyard house is renovated, you and Nannan can move in."
Grandma Yan looked at her granddaughter and Ye Chenming and thought they were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Everyone says that beautiful women and handsome men are pleasing to the eye, and Grandma Yan felt that her internal injuries had been healed.
Seeing that her grandmother was visibly relaxed, Yan Xiaonan also felt relieved: "Grandma, I'll go check on Fu Bao and the others. I wonder how the two children are doing. Why don't you take a nap or something?"
Grandma Yan felt comfortable all over and became sleepy. Yan Xiaonan helped her to bed and then went to Xuemei's room.
Fu Bao was half asleep and half awake. The little girl had been suffering these past two days. Cuihua brought over some rice cakes and made a cup of milk powder, which Xue Mei then fed to Fu Bao.
She picked up Duoduo herself and fed her milk powder and rice cakes. While eating, Duoduo looked at Cuihua cautiously, her expression like that of a wounded little animal, so pitiful.
Xuemei watched from the side, her heart aching. Tang Xiaoling was truly wicked. Just because Duoduo wasn't a girl, was it necessary to treat the child like this? Besides, even if you had given birth to a daughter, so what? She was utterly absurd.
When Liu Jin saw Yan Xiaonan, he rushed over and burst into tears: "Auntie, I'm scared. Wu Jin's face is covered in blood."
Yan Xiaonan glanced at Wu Jinban and saw that his lips were indeed swollen and cracked, and he had lost a tooth. Her heart ached. This child was so sensible. He had been used as a pawn by Tang Xiaoling today. He was truly pitiful.
He took out some candies from his pocket and handed them to the children: "Eating candy will help you forget your fear. You guys have some candy."
Xuemei bit the candy in half, giving one half to Fubao and the other half to Duoduo. "The children are still young. They choked yesterday, so we have to be careful."
The children, who were eating candy, finally smiled. Even Duoduo relaxed her expression when she looked at Yan Xiaonan.
Seeing that the children and their parents were all safe, Yan Xiaonan was relieved. Bei Nan and Chen Ming still had important matters to discuss.
Yan Xiaonan quickly shared some of his ideas with Ye Chenming and Bei Nan. The two listened with increasingly bright eyes, and Bei Nan even boldly declared that he would invest five million.
