"Mmm!"
Qin Boyan nodded vigorously and said, "I've been afraid of my older brother since I was a child, and Qin Yaxin is the same way."
Unexpectedly, Qin Yaxin contradicted her, saying, "Big brother is very nice, I'm not afraid at all!" As she spoke, she gave Qin Boyan a haughty snort.
Song Lan laughed again.
The main gate of the town's middle school.
"You may go in."
"Goodbye, sister-in-law, take care on your journey!"
"knew."
Song Lan smiled and nodded at Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin, watching them walk into the school gate until their figures disappeared from her sight before turning her gaze away and riding her bicycle home.
Do you know each other?
As she pushed her bicycle into the courtyard, Qin Yanzheng's voice came from the front. Hearing this, Song Lan nodded and said "Mm" while holding up the bicycle stand.
Which one is it?
With an almost imperceptible change in expression, Qin Yanzheng's voice rang out again.
Song Lan casually said, "She is a lady surnamed Cui."
"From the main factory?"
Wu Dong asked.
"Um."
Song Lan nodded, then said, "As soon as she arrived, she found out my whereabouts in the factory, then bribed our security colleagues to work shifts with me, and then hired someone to carry out her plan while I was on night shift last night. To put it simply, she did all that just to teach me a lesson."
"This made it impossible for me to stay at the branch factory, so I asked my adoptive parents for help and was transferred back to work in Beijing."
"...Ms. Cui, which family are you from?"
With his eyelids lowered, Qin Yanzheng remained silent for a moment before slowly uttering a sentence. Upon hearing this, Song Lan did not respond immediately. She observed the man's expression but saw nothing unusual. She shifted her gaze upwards, hoping to glean something from his eyes, but to her surprise, he didn't look at her.
He casually placed his hands, fingers interlaced, on his abdomen, his gaze fixed on her fair and slender hands. Her raven-feather-like eyelashes drooped slightly, completely concealing the emotions in her eyes. Therefore, Song Lan felt a little unsure whether she should bring up the Qian family.
After all, Ms. Cui was the wife of Deputy Factory Director Qian. Once the Qian family was mentioned, it would naturally lead to the question of why she was being targeted, which would also bring up the matter of her adoptive parents forcing her to divorce and remarry.
"have no idea?"
After waiting for Song Lan to speak, Qin Yanzheng looked up at her and asked, "Do you not know, are you trying to hide it from me, or do you not know how to bring it up?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan's lips twitched, and she said, "She is Deputy Factory Director Qian's lover."
Sensing the unusual atmosphere in the living room, Wu Dong said, "I'm going to my room to read for a while." He was making room for Qin Yanzheng and Song Lan so they could talk.
"I thought you wanted to keep it from me!"
Qin Yanzheng's words immediately drew a surprised look from Song Lan. She pursed her lips and stared at the man in front of her. After a long while, she asked with a hint of hesitation, "You...you knew everything?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yanzheng countered, "What should I know?"
"Qin Yanzheng..."
Song Lan took a deep breath, looked directly into the other person's dark eyes, and said apologetically, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just... I just didn't want you to overthink it and affect your emotions, which would delay your recovery."
Well, Ran probably already knows most of it. If she continues to hide it from him, it would be disrespectful and would also leave a grudge in his heart. She has already said that she wants to live a good life with him, so there should be no resentment between them.
Qin Yanzheng pursed his lips, his eyes meeting Song Lan's, but he didn't utter a single word in response to her words.
“I mentioned to you before that one day I would tell you about me and my adoptive parents’ family. Now, I know that you have probably learned some things through your own channels, but as your wife, I feel it is still necessary for me to tell you the truth again.”
Song Lan looked serious, and as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yanzheng opened his mouth and said, "Go on, I'm listening."
“Our family has been plagued by misfortunes one after another. Just a few days later, my adoptive parents suggested that I get a divorce. Even though I refused, they did a lot of persuasion, saying that it was for my own good and that they didn’t want me to be dragged down by my younger brother and his family…”
Because of this, I fell out with my adoptive parents and changed how I addressed them, calling them "uncle" and "aunt."
My actions may draw criticism from some people, but I don't care, because I know very well that if I leave the Qin family and abandon my second brother and the others, it will be a true act of ingratitude.
I had already repaid kindness with enmity. How could I leave when the Qin family needed me the most? How could I stand by and watch a family fall apart and my second brother and the others be left helpless?
Besides, you left for over six months without a word on our wedding day. If something really happened to you, my second brother and his family would truly be without hope! Especially the fifth and sixth children, they are not even five years old yet, and losing their mother...
With Father's accident and you, the eldest brother, not by their side, if even I, the eldest sister-in-law, were to leave them, it would undoubtedly cause severe psychological trauma to the fifth and sixth children... Therefore, I've made up my mind to protect the Qin family, and no matter what my abilities are, I will be a pillar of support for my second brother and the others.
Besides, people aren't plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? I love our family, and I love my second brother and his family, so divorce and remarriage are absolutely out of the question!
After a brief pause, Song Lan continued, "After you woke up, I was worried that my second brother and the others might let something slip in front of you, so I privately told them not to mention my adoptive parents and the matter between us in front of you."
At the same time, don't mention the rumors about me in the capital. As I told you before, I told my second brother and the others that once you have recovered, I will tell you everything in person.
As for how the Qian family got involved with my adoptive parents, it stemmed from the fact that the wife of Deputy Factory Director Qian wanted me to marry her intellectually disabled son, which my adoptive parents readily agreed to. Because, in their view...
The Qin family is already in such a state, and you've been working away from home for a long time, leaving your younger brother and the rest of the family at home. They're using the excuse of doing what's best for me to persuade me to divorce my husband and marry into the Qian family. In reality, they're using me to get benefits for them in the Qian family.
To put it bluntly, in their eyes, I was nothing more than a pawn. Even though they raised me for over ten years and invested a lot in me, their purpose was nothing more than using me as a pawn to climb the social ladder.
Qin Yanzheng's expression was unclear: "Go on."
“After I severed ties with my adoptive parents, my work relationship was transferred to the employee hospital in this branch factory. I thought it would be good to leave this place of trouble, so my second brother and I went to the hospital to pick you up and take you home. Then we brought you and the four of us to settle down in the branch factory.”
Song Lan looked calm and said, "On the day I reported to the hospital, I was told that there were no vacancies in the hospital at the moment, and that I needed to work in the factory's security department. The hospital leaders told me that this was a temporary transfer, and that they would transfer me back to my original job once a vacant nursing position became available in the hospital."
