With her eyes slightly red, Qin Yaxin said, "Second brother is right. We don't have an eldest sister. What she does outside is her own business. We don't need to care!"
“Your eldest sister made a mistake for a moment. We can’t keep harping on that little thing. As for… as for the trouble at home, she didn’t reply to the letter, didn’t send a telegram, and didn’t even come back. I don’t think it’s because she didn’t want to, but because she had something she couldn’t say.”
Qin Yanzheng spoke softly.
"Why are you making excuses for Qin Yaqing, brother?"
Tears welled up in Qin Yaxin's eyes: "She's obsessed with that man. Since she doesn't care about us, why should we be pathetic?"
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about writing the letter later. You all have school tomorrow, go wash up and go back to your rooms to sleep."
Song Lan spoke up at the right moment. She didn't want Qin Yanzheng to be angry because of Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin's attitude. To be honest, she could understand why Qin Yanzheng wanted to write to Qin Yaqing, but she also understood why Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin didn't want to contact Qin Yaqing.
With the original owner's memories remaining, when the family had that accident, Qin Boyan wrote to Qin Yaqing only because he wanted his eldest sister to come back and see their mother one last time, not because he wanted her to do anything for the family.
However, Qin Yaqing not only did not return, but she also did not send a single letter or telegram.
Perhaps, as Qin Yanzheng just said, this sister-in-law has some unspeakable difficulties, but no matter what, she could at least send a telegram, right?
Even if you don't have any money on you, you can't borrow some from other educated youth...
Song Lan felt that, in the end, it was because the other party didn't value family ties enough!
On the other hand, the reason Qin Yanzheng thought of writing to Qin Yaqing was simply because she had been away in the countryside since then, like a kite with a broken string, with no news. As the eldest brother, even though his sister had many faults, he couldn't really ignore her.
At the very least, you need to know whether the other person is alive or dead.
If the person is alright, Qin Yanzheng can rest assured; but if... but if something happens to the person and Qin Yanzheng, as the eldest brother, is unaware, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
"I'm going to wash up."
Qin Boyan got up and left.
"Are you two still sitting there?" Qin Yaxin turned her gaze to the two little ones and said, "Whether Qin Yaqing lives or dies outside has nothing to do with us. You two remember this well: there is no eldest sister in our family anymore!"
The two little ones were completely bewildered.
I don't know why Qin Yaxin, the second sister, is taking her anger out on them.
"Go wash up quickly!"
Qin Yaxin chased after the two little ones.
"Second sister, you're being unreasonable!"
The adorable little girl said, "My sister and I didn't offend you. It was the older brother who wanted to write a letter to the older sister. My sister and I didn't say a word!"
"What, 'big sister'? Are you ignoring what I just said?"
Qin Yaxin said irritably, "Remember, we don't have an older sister anymore. If she shamelessly comes to us in the future, we'll just pretend we don't know her."
"I won't listen, I won't listen! Whatever my brother and sister-in-law do, my sister and I will do too! I don't want to listen to you, hehehe..."
Making a funny face, the adorable little girl Xiao Wu led her younger sister Xiao Liu out of the living room.
Wu Dong got up and went back to his room to get his toiletries. At this time, only Qin Yanzheng, Song Lan, and Qin Yaxin were still sitting in the living room. Qin Yaxin looked at Qin Yanzheng and said:
"Big brother, I used to be the most irresponsible one in our family, but I always knew how much Mom and Dad meant to me. If I were in the place where Qin Yaqing was sent to the countryside..."
After receiving the letter from my second brother, no matter what my situation was, I would crawl home, even if I had to. Even if I was limited in my abilities and couldn't help much, at least I could see Mom one last time, and that would be enough to send her off on her final journey. That way, she wouldn't have given birth to me in vain!
Are you blaming me?
"What does this have to do with you, brother?"
“I wasn’t there for my dad when he had the accident, when my mom was critically ill, and when she passed away.”
"How can this be the same? Brother, you can't come back. Based on the timeline, you were seriously injured and unconscious at the time, so you had no way of knowing what was happening at home."
Qin Yaxin felt that her older brother Qin Yanzheng was being unreasonable. She stood up and said, "I'm going to wash up. If you insist on writing to Qin Yaqing, I am your younger sister and naturally I can't stop you, but I have the right not to help you send the letter out."
As the music faded, Qin Yaxin left the living room. Watching her retreating figure, Qin Yanzheng sighed and said to Song Lan, "I didn't expect my second brother and the others to be so emotional."
He just wanted to know if his younger sister, Qin Yaqing, was alright. After all, what if something happened to a girl who was away from home, but couldn't inform her family for various reasons? What would they do if they heard bad news from others?
"Don't worry, they're just being stubborn. You can write to your older sister if you want, and I'll go to the post office for you later."
Song Lan comforted the man.
"Aren't you angry with your younger sister?"
Qin Yanzheng asked.
"I……"
Song Lan paused for a moment, then said, "What's there to be angry about? My sister may have her own reasons, but the regret and guilt are only hers to bear. Since she can bear it, why should I, as her sister-in-law, care?"
Sigh! They're family after all. I need to find time to bring her back! Otherwise, Qin Yaqing might follow the same path as before, and if that happens, it would be a tragedy for both mother and child!
When Qin Yanzheng heard Song Lan's thoughts, even though it wasn't the first time he had heard about Qin Yaqing's fate from Song Lan's words, he was still very angry. He felt that Qin Yaqing was particularly brainless, throwing away her life for a man.
Song Lan suddenly asked, "Is the demotion of the person next door related to you?"
Seeing that Qin Yanzheng did not speak for a long time, she said, "You have been having Comrade Wu push you out of the hospital for a walk quite often lately, which is very unusual."
"Abnormal? You're just taking a walk in the family quarters. You're overthinking it."
Qin Yanzheng remained calm.
Are you sure I'm overthinking it?
Song Lan's eyes were full of inquiry. She said knowingly, "I think you probably talked to Director Zhang. However, I believe you are not the kind of person who acts recklessly. As for the person next door being demoted, it must be because he did something that harmed the factory, and you seized on that to get him demoted."
"you……"
Qin Yanzheng's lips twitched, and after a moment, a smile appeared in his dark eyes as he said, "You're very smart!" This was his wife; she really had a sharp mind, speaking the truth right away. Amazing!
"Is this a compliment?"
Song Lan smiled as she looked at the other person.
"certainly."
Qin Yanzheng nodded.
"Looks like I was right!"
Song Lan's beautiful eyes were full of laughter. Her expression was lively as she said, "Actually, you don't need to bother. Being insulted or given trouble by others doesn't matter to me at all. Besides, I don't think I'm at a disadvantage!"
"I wasn't going to waste my time; I just didn't want you to be bullied for no reason."
Qin Yanzheng smiled and said, "Besides, if the other party does something that harms the factory's interests, he should be punished by the factory. Otherwise, if he does something even more outrageous one day, it might cause significant losses to the factory."
