Qin Laoshuan and the accountant walked into the ward. Qin Huai went up to him and called him. He asked about Sister Hong's condition and then lit his pipe in the corridor of the ward. Qin Huai wanted to stop him, but seeing the whole corridor filled with smoke, he stopped talking.
This era is very exaggerated. People still smoke in hospital wards, doctors and nurses are used to it, and smoking is also normal on buses.
Qin Laoshuan suddenly stopped and said, "The child was scared to death."
Although he didn't say the name, Qin Huai knew he was talking about Goudan.
Perhaps due to the influence of his living environment, although Goudan is only six years old, his mind is much more mature than that of ordinary children.
Qin Laoshuan continued, "Don't blame him. He's actually afraid. He's afraid that his mother will run away with another man and leave him. He's afraid that his mother will sleep with another man. You're still young and don't understand. Boys, like men, have possessive desires for their mothers."
“…”
Qin Laoshuan is not a good person, so why is he so tolerant of Goudan?
Although he was still young, it was impossible for Qin Huai to forgive him.
He could never forget how Sister Hong, during the famine, was so weak that she had to carry the unable-to-walk Goudan on her back. How could such a great mother be willing to hurt someone like her? What kind of person was Sister Hong raising?
Poor thing, she was still thinking about her son before she fell into a coma.
When sending Qin Laoshuan back to the village, Qin Huai still said, "No matter what, uncle, if something happens to Sister Hong, please don't let the child starve to death."
"You don't have to tell me that."
Rushing back to the ward, he heard Sister Hong talking outside. He ran in happily and met Sister Hong's eyes. Grandma Gui said with tears in her eyes, "Thank God, Xiaohong is awake."
When Sister Hong saw it was Qin Huai, she burst into tears. Qin Huai hurriedly asked, "Are you still feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor for you?"
Sister Hong shook her head: "I'm fine, Qin Huai, you saved my life."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Sister Hong, you are really something. You take a child's words seriously." Although Qin Huai was also dissatisfied with Goudan in his heart, he could only start from here to persuade her.
Grandma Gui said, "Don't mention it. Xiaohong regrets it too."
After experiencing death once, a person's state of mind will be different. Sister Hong said that when she felt she was about to die, she looked at her child's confused look and suddenly became afraid. She knew that the child would suffer if she died.
From beginning to end, she never blamed her son.
A mother can be unconditionally tolerant to her child, but the child will always hurt her for various reasons.
Sister Hong woke up and was discharged from the hospital and went home the next day.
Qin Huai helped her pay forty yuan for her medical expenses and told her that it only cost five yuan. Sister Hong said, "I'll pay you back when I get home."
Qin Huai said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Go back and take care of yourself first."
When the villagers saw Qin Huai's car, they gathered around and saw Sister Hong coming down. They were all very happy and said that she would have good fortune in the future after surviving such a disaster.
Goudan rushed out of the house, but stopped when he was almost in front of Sister Hong. When Sister Hong saw her son, tears immediately fell and she called him, "Goudan, come here."
Someone nearby said, "What do you care what this heartless little thing does?"
After hearing this, Goudan became even more hesitant.
Sister Hong walked over and picked him up. He did not resist and looked at his mother who had come back to life with tears in his eyes.
The mother forgave the child at the first moment, or rather, she never blamed the child.
The old woman came back from a distance and said angrily, "Why don't you just die? What are you doing back? You've brought shame upon my son and grandson."
The villagers complained in dissatisfaction: "What shame do you have as a beggar, you old woman? You are so cruel! You closed the door when your own sister came to beg for food, and you forced your daughter-in-law who worked hard to earn money to death. Are you crazy or stupid?"
Everyone glared at her, and the old lady said, "Our family has been clean for generations. Whoever wants a daughter-in-law like this who doesn't observe chastity can have her. We, the Qin family, cannot tolerate her."
Qin Huai was afraid that Sister Hong couldn't stand it and said to her, "Sister Hong, don't listen to this confused old woman."
Sister Hong said, "Qin Huai, don't worry. I've died once before, so I won't do anything stupid again. Whether she's used to it or not, I'll stay in this family and watch Goudan grow up."
Goudan said nothing more and hugged his mother tightly.
This happy ending did not move Qin Huai. Instead, he felt extremely upset. He turned around and prepared to get in the car to go back.
Sister Hong stopped him and said, "Qin Huai, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You paid me in advance and I have to pay you back."
Qin Huai said, "No need, Sister Hong, it's not much."
"How can that be? Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I can't take advantage of you."
After that, she asked the old woman for money. The old woman turned around and walked into the house and said, "No, this money is for my grandson. No one can take it away."
Sister Hong said a few more words, but she refused to do so.
Goudan jumped down and walked to the old woman, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
The old woman said, "I am doing this for you, aren't I?"
Goudan didn't take his hand back.
The old woman glared and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business." She didn't give her grandson enough face.
Qin Huai said, "Okay, it's not that much money, it's not that serious, don't argue with that crazy old woman."
Sister Hong said dejectedly, "Qin Huai, I can only pay you back slowly in the future."
"You being alive is more important than anything else, let's not talk about money."
Back at the store, after hearing Sister Hong's story, Old Man Qin was stunned and said, "This child will have a lot of hardship in the future."
"When Goudan grows up, he'll understand Sister Hong's difficulties, right?"
The old man sighed and said, "The men in their family all become more and more bastards as they grow older."
This answer was beyond Qin Huai's expectations.
