I told you about the situation at home in the letter. Even if you can't leave, you can at least write a letter or send a telegram home, right?
No! Mom was calling your name on her deathbed. Tell me where she was then?
Qin Yaqing, do you even have a heart?
Are your parents not good enough to you?
You're asking me to disregard my family for a man?!
Do you know? Mom left with regrets; she couldn't close her eyes in peace! Just because she didn't see you, she worried about your safety until her last breath, afraid you'd be deceived by that man and end up badly hurt…”
His eyes and nose stung with tears, and the pain he had been suppressing suddenly burst forth. Qin Boyan tilted his head back to prevent the tears from falling, and after a moment, he turned his gaze back to Qin Yaqing:
"With such a huge change in the family, if it weren't for my sister-in-law standing up, do you think you would still have the chance to see me, my second sister, and my younger brother and sister?"
My older brother is seriously injured and in a coma. The hospital has diagnosed him with the possibility that he may never wake up. Even if he is lucky enough to wake up, he will be left with a lifelong disability...
Do you know how terrified and scared I was at that moment? Do you know how terrified and scared my second sister and the others were?
You don't know, your mind is full of that man. The moment you left home and chased after that man to this godforsaken rural area, you forgot all about us, your family!
But my sister-in-law didn't abandon us. She held up our family, which was on the verge of collapse, and provided shelter for us siblings, and even for my father and older brother!
When my sister-in-law was transferred to a new job, she never gave up on me. She took my second sister, my younger brother and sister, and my older brother who was in a coma to her new workplace and settled down there.
When our lives started to improve a little, my sister-in-law remembered you and told us to try to bring you home.
She had to work, take care of us, try to treat my older brother, and visit Dad repeatedly… Qin Yaqing, I just want to ask you now, are you coming with us or not?
With his hands clenched into fists at his sides, Qin Boyan stared intently at Qin Yaqing, his eyes bloodshot.
Enveloped in layers of shame, self-blame, regret, and pain, Qin Yaqing was completely immersed in her emotions. She sat up abruptly, buried her face in her knees, and cried out in a sorrowful yet suppressed voice.
He died with his eyes wide open...
Her loving mother... died with her eyes wide open in dismay because of her...
As the eldest sister, how can she be worthy of being her parents' daughter and her younger siblings' eldest sister if she fails to take responsibility when things go wrong at home?
No reason is an excuse for not being able to go home to see her mother one last time, nor is it an excuse for not taking responsibility for herself...
Song Lan was very quiet. She knew that Qin Boyan needed to vent. After all, when the Qin family had their accident, it was a particularly heavy blow to a teenager.
It's perfectly normal for him to harbor resentment towards his older sister, Qin Yaqing.
Even if the other party had many reasons, she didn't appear when her loved ones needed her most, not even with a letter or telegram. Anyone in her shoes would probably feel the same way as Qin Boyan.
Especially since Qin Yaqing left home for a man her whole family disapproved of!
About six or seven minutes later, Song Lan said to Qin Boyan, "Second brother, go to the side and calm down for a while."
"..."
Qin Boyan pursed his lips, and after a moment, he casually wiped his face, nodded and said "hmm," and stood still a few feet away.
“Big sister, second brother’s words were a bit harsh, but Mom… but Mom was really worried about you, and she passed away while calling your name.”
Looking down at Qin Yaqing, Song Lan's voice was flat: "Have you thought it through?"
Looking up, Qin Yaqing's eyes were blurry with tears: "I..."
"Is it because you can't let go of your partner?"
Song Lan frowned deeply: "Then tell me, is he good to you or not?"
She wanted to nod and shake her head at the same time; Qin Yaqing's mind was a complete mess.
To be with Wen Qiming, she defied her family's objections and followed him to this rural area. It was also because of Wen Qiming… she couldn't go back to see her mother one last time, and she didn't even send a letter or a telegram home…
Her feelings for him were pure and genuine; how could she be willing to sever all ties completely?
And how can this situation be endured?
But Wen Qiming's current attitude towards her clearly shows that he doesn't want to have any further involvement with her. Continuing to pester her will only annoy him and will not do her any good.
"Little sister, it's not wrong to like someone, but you have to know if that person is worth giving up everything for, to abandon everything to like?"
Song Lan was somewhat disappointed in her sister-in-law, Qin Yaqing. She said slowly, "As a person, especially as a woman, you must first learn to love yourself. Do you have that, sister?"
I don't know how good the person you like is, but I do know he can persuade you to come here to the countryside with him in just a few words..."
Qin Yaqing: "It wasn't him who asked me to come along, it was me... it was me who wanted to accompany him to the countryside!"
Song Lan didn't seem to mind being interrupted. She said, "Fine, you were the one who volunteered to go to the countryside with them, but are you sure this wasn't them taking advantage of your kindness and naivety to manipulate you?"
Sister, being too kind and too naive is tantamount to being stupid. In other people's eyes, you are no different from a fool.
Did you know? A wolf will not pity a kind sheep. You may be kind and innocent, but you must have an edge in your kindness and rationality in your innocence.
Of course, you also need to have the manners to avoid hurting others, and at the same time, you need to have the aura to prevent others from hurting you.
Do you have these things? If so, have you done them?
No, you don't have it, let alone the ability to do it!
