Chapter 20 Holding it up, still not giving up



Qin Yaxin recalled what her classmate had said and couldn't help but shudder. At the same time, she thought to herself that she must continue her studies until she graduated from high school and found a job so that she could avoid being sent to the countryside.

In short, farming in the countryside... she's not cut out for it.

Song Lan: "The factory has already informed me that the job transfer is final. As for asking for help, who do you think we can ask given our family's current situation?"

"If I settle down at the branch factory, will I be able to continue my studies?"

Qin Yaxin asked cautiously.

Why not?

Song Lan raised an eyebrow.

Qin Yaxin: "Our family...our family is in trouble right now..."

Song Lan: "No matter how difficult it is, we will not cut back on your tuition fees."

Qin Yaxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a proud look, "I agree."

Before Song Lan could speak, Qin Boyan glared at Qin Yaxin: "Do you need to agree? Your sister-in-law is just informing you. Don't make yourself look like you're being forced to come with us."

"I don't!"

Qin Yaxin blushed and shouted at Qin Boyan.

"You're just being dramatic."

Qin Boyan rolled his eyes and stood up: "I'll go back to my room to pack." He said this to Song Lan, who nodded and said "Mm."

Qin Yaxin: "I'm going back to my room to pack too."

Song Lan: "Pack up all the clothes you can wear and everything you want to take. A big truck will be taking us there; it should be able to hold a lot of things."

Qin Yaxin said "Oh," left the living room, and went upstairs.

"Let's go, sister-in-law will help you pack your things."

Standing up, Song Lan reached out her hands to the two children.

...

Around 8 p.m., after Wu Dong finished massaging and cleaning Qin Yanzheng and left, Song Lan sat on the edge of the bed, her calm gaze fixed on the man's handsome face. After a while, she said, "I've been transferred to work at a branch factory. In a couple of days, our family will have to leave Beijing."

Qin Yanzheng had only been conscious for a short while when he heard what Song Lan said, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why would someone be transferred to a different job?

Branch factory?

Which branch factory?

Why hasn't he heard his parents' voices yet? How could his parents just sit idly by and let the factory transfer their delicate daughter-in-law to a branch factory?

Qin's father had an accident, and Qin's mother passed away while Qin Yanzheng was seriously injured and in a coma. Naturally, he was unaware that his two closest relatives were working in a forest farm hundreds of miles away and had already passed away.

"Actually, I think it would be good to go to the branch factory to work and settle down, but my second sister had a strong reaction and wanted to stay in Beijing. However, in the end, she decided to go with the family."

"Qin Yanzheng, don't worry. No matter what, I will take good care of my second brother and sister-in-law, and the fifth and sixth children, and I will do my best to look after Father. Of course, you are my husband, and I will take good care of you too... By the way, once we've settled in at the branch factory, I'll treat you. With me here, you'll get better."

As she whispered this, a faint smile appeared on Song Lan's lips: "I don't even know if you can hear me after saying so much..."

Qin Yanzheng felt enveloped in darkness, and even though he struggled with all his might, trying to break through the darkness and open his eyes... it was all in vain.

A strong sense of powerlessness swept over him, which made him somewhat irritable.

However, after a short while, his heart calmed down. After all, he had a strong mental fortitude and knew that struggling in his current condition was useless. He could only wait for the cure and for his nervous system to return to normal so that he could wake up.

From Song Lan's words, Qin Yanzheng knew that something had probably happened at home and hoped that his wife could mention it.

“These past two days, my adoptive parents and Song Ning and Song Jiaojiao have been giving me a lot of trouble. To be honest, if it weren’t for the years of kindness they have shown me, I would have cut ties with them immediately.”

After a long silence, Song Lan's gentle voice came out again: "Qin Yanzheng, I've been thinking a lot lately about how I repaid kindness with enmity by marrying you in that way... Fortunately, we only registered our marriage and held a banquet, and we didn't have any physical relationship. That way, if you want to divorce and remarry after you recover your health, I won't have any objections."

Divorce and remarry?

How could he possibly do something so outrageous?

Yes, he was forced to agree to the marriage back then.

But since he has already married her, he will not violate his principles and file for divorce for no reason.

Staff housing area.

"Why don't you wait a little longer? I'll try my best to get my Lanlan to get a divorce. You know, my Lanlan has always been well-behaved and sensible since she was little, but for some reason, she suddenly became stubborn and said she needs to think it over carefully before making a decision."

Luo Yueqin, with a forced smile, escorted Deputy Factory Director Qian's wife, Cui Hongxia, to the gate of her own courtyard, repeatedly apologizing. Unfortunately, from the moment Cui Hongxia entered the Song family's house until she left, she didn't give her a single kind look.

“If it weren’t for my Xiaoming liking your Lanlan, given her current reputation, even if you gave her to my Xiaoming for free, my husband and I would never agree to it.”

Cui Hongxia dotes on her only son, even though he has the mental capacity of a five or six-year-old. She and Deputy Factory Director Qian still cherish him dearly.

Here I must mention that ten years ago, Qian Yiming, the son of Deputy Factory Director Qian, was nine years old. He and his friends climbed a tree to steal bird eggs, but he accidentally fell from the tree.

Because he was upside down, he suffered a severe head injury. Although he was rushed to the hospital for treatment, unexpectedly, Qian Yiming's brain still suffered a problem: his IQ regressed by three or four years.

Later, it was discovered that her brain had stopped developing.

In other words, unless a miracle occurs, Qian Yiming will remain a five- or six-year-old child at heart for the rest of his life.

The reason why Deputy Factory Director Qian and his wife wanted their son to marry Song Lan was because Song Lan's reputation had been ruined by a hooligan. They felt that since the Song family couldn't withstand the gossip, it would be a good opportunity for the Qian family to propose marriage to the Song family. This would not only earn them a good reputation in public, but also allow them to gain a smart and obedient daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Cui Hongxia thought her family had high standards and planned to let things escalate further. In reality, she just wanted to put on airs and appear in front of the Song family in a high-profile manner to help the Song family "get out of trouble." However, she did not expect that Luo Yueqin would approach the Qin family and simply marry Song Lan into the Qin family.

This made Cui Hongxia very upset.

At home, he often complained to Deputy Factory Director Qian that Luo Yueqin and her husband were ruining their family's affairs.

But an unexpected event occurred: the Qin family suffered a series of misfortunes.

So, Cui Hongxia's heart started to stir again. She casually mentioned Song Lan to Luo Yueqin, saying how much she liked Song Lan and that it would be a blessing for the Qian family to marry a daughter-in-law like Song Lan.

In short, one person laid the bait, and the other was eager to take the bait; that's how the matter of Song Lan being asked to divorce came about.

Well, when Luo Yueqin proposed to Song Lan that she divorce Qin Yanzheng, Song Jiaojiao was inevitably there to encourage her.
