Tang Jiao's child was eventually saved. The rescue efforts lasted until the early morning that day, and were repeated several times in the following days. Such a young child had already suffered so much, and the elders were heartbroken watching, let alone Tang Jiao.
The child was a girl, and Tang Jiao named her Tang Ping'an. She didn't ask for her to be rich and powerful, but only asked for her to be safe and healthy.
On the second day after leaving the confinement room, Chen Xiangnan went to get a divorce with Tang Jiao. It was not known whether he had used up all his savings, but he made two safety locks, one for Lingling and one for Ping'an.
When Ping An was one month old, he was very weak, so we decided not to celebrate and just held a hundred-day banquet.
The day before the 100-day banquet, Chen Xiangnan came to Old Lady Xia and handed her a letter, asking her to give it to Tang Jiao. "Mom, I've applied for an overseas assignment. You know the Tang family is kind. Even if Tang Jiao and I divorce, they won't ask for my job back."
But Tang Jiao will definitely feel uncomfortable if I'm in the hospital. Please help me raise Lingling. You know, even if I want to be a good father, I may not really be able to do it. If Lingling follows me around everywhere, who knows what will happen.
I will send the money to you and Tang Jiao in the future, and I will come back to see the two children during the holidays. I don't ask them to support me, as long as they don't hate me. "
Old Lady Xia pulled him for a long time, but he finally broke free. "Second brother, you want to escape again."
Chen Lingling seemed to realize something. She ran out in the middle of the night and saw only Chen Xiangnan's back. She started crying in panic, "Dad~"
Chen Xiangnan paused for a moment, then ran out even faster.
Old Lady Xia brought her sister to the Tang family to attend the hundred-day banquet. While Tang Jiao was resting, she slipped the letter to her. "This is from the second brother. He... is gone, Jiaojiao. He said he's sorry for you."
Tang Jiao held the letter and nodded sadly.
"Mom, you and aunt go see the child." She didn't change her address, which made Old Mrs. Xia feel sad.
The two old ladies went to see Ping'an in the cradle together. His little hands and feet looked much prettier than when he was just born with bruises all over his body. Although some of the bruises had not faded yet, it still made the two of them very happy.
This child has had a very difficult life.
Mother Tang was in a good mood today. Seeing them happy, she said, "Sister Xia, do you want a hug?"
She took the child out of the cradle and handed him to Old Mrs. Xia.
Old Mrs. Xia acted weird to tease the child. Seeing her sister's envious look, she moved the child closer to her.
Seeing this, Tang Jiao smiled and said, "Auntie, you should hug him too. He's not in such a bad condition now. It's okay."
Xia Yu'e was surprised and said, "I...I really hugged him?"
Old Lady Xia handed the child to her and said, "Hold the child, sister. This child never cries when he sees anyone. He is a good child."
Xia Yu'e took the child over. The soft baby smacked its lips and stared at her blankly, which made her heart melt.
It’s a new life, Xiao Ping’an.
After Chen Xiangnan left, Old Mrs. Xia thought that her life would not change. Tang Jiao still sent her some gifts during the holidays, and sometimes brought Ping An to see her, but Old Mrs. Xia still felt as if something had changed.
In the past, when Chen Xiangnan was around, Old Lady Xia always felt annoyed and thought that the second son was not a good person. But when he really left and she couldn't find him even if she wanted to, Old Lady Xia felt a little uncomfortable.
This may be what it means to be a mother. As long as the child doesn't do anything too extreme, there will always be a soft spot in her heart.
In her compound, Jiang Wenhua went to the countryside with Fang Yingdi and announced their marriage. Just when Fang Yingdi thought he was going to rip her off for a few hundred yuan in betrothal gifts, Jiang Wenhua took her back to the city in the blink of an eye. When they left, her parents even enthusiastically gave them some freshly dried fish.
Not only did he not give her a penny, but he also brought back a basket of vegetables and several large dried fish. This was something Fang Yingdi could never have imagined in her dreams.
"How did you do it?" Fang Yingdi had asked for the tenth time on the way. Even though Jiang Wenhua explained it to her in detail, Fang Yingdi still didn't understand.
"How can just a few words make my parents give you so many things? They are my parents!" Fang Yingdi murmured.
Jiang Wenhua smiled so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears. "Your parents are really good. Why are they so satisfied with me?"
Fang Yingdi thought about how when she first came in, her father was about to beat Jiang Wenhua with a hoe for complaining that he had no money for the bride price. But after a few words, her father not only moved a stool for him to sit on, but also asked her mother to take out the best things in the house for him to eat.
After climbing over two mountains, the two were a little tired and sat on a big rock to rest.
Jiang Wenhua rummaged through his coat and pulled out two hundred yuan, neatly folded. He placed it in Fang Yingdi's hand reluctantly and solemnly, "Xiao Fang, I didn't give any betrothal gifts to your parents, but I can't skimp on this. I'll give it to you directly. From now on, it's your money, your bottom line."
The money in Fang Yingdi's hand still carried Jiang Wenhua's body temperature. Although it was just a small and light stack, Fang Yingdi knew that it was like half his life to Jiang Wenhua.
She lowered her head, pouted, and wanted to cry. She suppressed her emotions and asked, "Are you really willing to give it to me?"
Jiang Wenhua clenched his fists in pain, but still said, "This money can only be given to you. I definitely won't be willing to give it to anyone else."
Fang Yingdi burst into laughter while crying, "Are you really not heartbroken?"
Jiang Wenhua turned his head and said, "I don't feel bad about it, not at all. You can hide it, buy something with it, or do anything with it."
Fang Yingdi punched him lightly and stuffed the money into his pocket. "Hide it. I don't have any money to spend. I appreciate your kindness, but I can't bear to see you so distressed. I feel...sorry for you, too."
Jiang Wenhua said seriously, "I was just teasing you. Money should be spent when it's needed, and given when it's needed. This money I'm giving you, absolutely cannot be saved. I've been saving so much over the years, partly for my mother, and partly to use it for important moments like this."
I want to treat you seriously. I won't feel bad if I give you this money. I'd be sad if you didn't accept it. I hope that throughout the entire process of our marriage, you won't discriminate against others. You should have what others have, and I want to give you everything I can afford.
I hope that after we get married, you will not have any regrets when you think back to the time you knew me. This is something more important than money."
Fang Yingdi burst into tears mid-sentence. For someone who had never felt loved at home, suddenly being treated so cherished by someone made her feel overwhelmed and confused. She also wondered if all the suffering she had endured in the past was just for this sweet moment.
You know, before Jiang Wenhua and he started dating, he was very stingy and would save money wherever he could. Even when he went home with her today, she was wearing work clothes.
But such a person is willing to give himself the thing he values most, and even says that he hopes he will not have any regrets...
Fang Yingdi sat on a big rock in the mountains, crying uncontrollably.
