"It's not good to be overly suspicious."
Song Lan's voice sounded unusually gentle: "Go to sleep soundly. As long as you remember what I said, danger will naturally have a hard time getting close to you. Even if you do encounter it, if you can stay calm, you will definitely be able to find a way to protect yourself."
Qin Yaxin hummed in response to Song Lan's words, but then hesitated and stammered, "Sister-in-law...am I...am I all bark and no bite?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Song Lan raised an eyebrow.
"...I, I'm clearly not very brave, yet I made a lot of sarcastic remarks to Song Jiaojiao a few days ago, and now I'm worried about Song Jiaojiao's revenge. It's like a paper tiger, it looks fierce, but it's just made of paper and has no power at all!"
After listening to what Qin Yaxin said, Song Lan smiled: "You do have a clear understanding of yourself."
"ah?"
Qin Yaxin's eyes widened: "Am I really a paper tiger?!"
"You are a paper tiger, so simple-minded that you're almost foolish."
Pinch Qin Yaxin's forehead and Song Lan said with a smile, "Alright, think things through before you act on impulse. Go on, go to bed early and get up early, don't let it interfere with your martial arts practice."
"All right."
When Song Lan tapped her forehead, Qin Yaxin blushed slightly, but at the same time, she felt a warmth in her heart, thinking that Song Lan, her sister-in-law, was very kind.
Especially compared to before the family incident, her sister-in-law is now as affectionate as a biological sister, rather than the sister-in-law her brother married.
When the word "older sister" came to mind, Qin Yaxin involuntarily thought of Qin Yaqing, her blood-related older sister.
"Sister-in-law..."
Qin Yaxin stopped at the door and turned to Song Lan: "Do you think my sister is doing well in the rural area?"
Whether it's good or bad, it's your eldest sister's own choice.
Song Lan didn't want to make any comments about her sister-in-law, Qin Yaqing, in front of Qin Yaxin. After all, Qin Yaqing and Qin Yaxin were sisters, and if what she said wasn't accepted by Qin Yaxin, the other woman might think she was trying to sow discord between the sisters.
Qin Yaxin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "I understand."
After closing the door for Song Lan, she returned to her own room.
[Qin Yaqing ignored her family's advice and went to the countryside for a man, only to have trouble at home, her brothers send letters but she never returns, and she didn't even send a telegram or a letter home. What was she thinking?]
Looking at the tightly closed door, Song Lan felt uneasy.
Little did she know, in another room, Qin Yanzheng was lying in bed about to fall asleep when he suddenly overheard her thoughts.
But did Qin Yaqing realize that man was not worthy of her lifelong commitment, and that she would lose both her life and her unborn child because of him? Foolish girl, how could you be so blind to his true nature?
Two lives lost, one unborn?
Qin Yanzheng's heart tightened!
Could it be that my younger sister has already gotten married in the countryside?
"Comrade Qin, what's wrong with you...?"
Hearing a noise coming from Qin Yanzheng's bed, Wu Dong casually pulled the light cord on the wall above the bed. Instantly, the room became bright. Then, he saw Qin Yanzheng sitting on the bed and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"If you need to use the restroom, I'll get you a chamber pot."
As he spoke, Wu Dong tried to get out of bed.
"No need, I just had something on my mind. You go to sleep."
Qin Yanzheng shook his head.
"Comrade Qin, you really don't want to use the restroom?"
Wu Dong confirmed this.
"Um."
Qin Yanzheng nodded, and then he lay back down on the bed.
Is something on your mind?
Wu Dong pulled the light cord again, and the light in the room dimmed again. He lay down on the bed and casually asked Qin Yanzheng.
“I also have a younger sister named Qin Yaqing, who was a sent-down youth.”
"Really? I haven't heard Boyan and the others mention it. However, since Boyan calls Yaxin 'Second Sister,' I should be able to guess that they have an older sister."
“My second brother and his family don’t mention my eldest sister at home because my eldest sister hurt my parents’ feelings in order to go to the countryside.”
"..."
“She went to the countryside because of a man. Before, when something happened in my family, my second brother and his family wrote to us, but my eldest sister not only didn’t come back, she didn’t even send a letter or a telegram home.”
Qin Yanzheng inexplicably believed Song Lan's words, feeling that Song Lan wouldn't speak without reason, but at this moment he was also very puzzled... How did Song Lan know that Qin Yaqing had died along with her unborn child?
Wu Dong: "Comrade Qin Yaqing is probably too busy to have time."
“I can understand that she’s too busy to come back, but is she so busy that she doesn’t even have time to write a letter or send a telegram? Even if she doesn’t have time during the day, what about at night?”
Thinking of Qin Yaqing's ruthlessness, Qin Yanzheng felt a chill in his heart. Just then, he heard Song Lan's thoughts again.
I need to find a way to bring Qin Yaqing back soon, otherwise, she might end up doing the same thing again... After all, Qin Yaqing is Qin Yanzheng's sister, and I am Qin Yanzheng's wife, Qin Yaqing's sister-in-law. I can't just ignore her life or death knowing that she and her unborn child will die.
"this……"
Wu Dong didn't know how to respond.
"I think she doesn't care about our family at all."
She lost her life and her unborn child because of a worthless man. How pathetic!
Qin Yanzheng was extremely disappointed in Qin Yaqing at this moment.
"Comrade Qin Yaqing is your sister. Given your character, I believe Comrade Qin Yaqing's character is not much worse. There must be an irresistible reason why she did not come back and did not write or send a telegram home."
Wu Dong comforted Qin Yanzheng.
"How much would it cost to send a letter or a telegram home? Even if she didn't have any money herself, she could easily borrow some from other educated youth. If she didn't have time to send the letter, it wouldn't be difficult to ask someone for help, would it?"
She's always seemed so sensible and gentle, so why does she go against her family when it comes to that man?
Sigh! She has a brain but doesn't use it. She's easily fooled by a man's words and completely believes him. If Qin Yanzheng knew his younger sister Qin Yaqing was deceived by a man, he'd be furious… I'd better not tell Qin Yanzheng any of this. Later, when I bring Qin Yaqing back, everything will be different.
Just like Qin Yaxin and the others' fates, thanks to her intervention, Qin Yaxin didn't steal her classmates' clothes and alter them to make them her own, nor was she mistaken for a thief and driven to suicide. And Qin Yanzheng didn't get into trouble because of the things Qin Yaxin said before she attempted suicide.
The two younger ones aren't lost either... Everything's fine now. Qin Yanzheng and Qin Yaxin have survived a near-death experience. Once I bring Qin Yaqing back, the whole family will be alright.
What happened?
Qin Yanzheng grew increasingly puzzled as he listened to Song Lan's inner thoughts.
The second sister was supposed to commit suicide, he would get into trouble because of what she said, the younger brother and sister would get lost... the eldest sister would die along with her unborn child, does his wife have the ability to foresee the future?
In other words, if it weren't for his wife Song Lan's intervention, their family would have been destroyed...
Qin Yanzheng felt something was amiss and wanted to ask Song Lan what was going on, but he knew he couldn't ask.
Even if he asks, she might not tell him, and he can't explain what he knows. If things go wrong, Song Lan might even become estranged from him!
