It might even affect your marriage prospects after you grow up.
By seamlessly integrating the memories left behind by the original owner with the long string of abruptly appearing plot points, Song Lan was no longer unfamiliar with this era. She knew very well that in order to integrate into life in this world, she had to make certain changes.
For example: We must speak plainly.
In terms of temperament, Song Lan certainly did not want to become like the original owner, who was delicate and weak and had almost no opinions of her own.
Given the changes in her background and the upheavals in the Qin family, as well as the serious injury to her husband Qin Yanzheng, it shouldn't seem too abrupt to outsiders that her personality has changed.
Having suffered so much, as the eldest sister-in-law, she has to support the family; how can she not stand up for herself?
The reason is readily available.
Even if others have guesses, what can they prove?
Besides, nowadays, the whole country is breaking down feudal superstitions, so who would have thought she was someone else?
To put it another way, this body definitely belongs to the original owner, so there's absolutely no fear of anyone verifying the identity.
"...Sixth grader...must...be pretty!"
But she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Qin Xiaoliu, the little girl, frowned, looking very troubled.
"If you don't want to play with me, I don't care to play with you either. Yes, I don't care at all..." Before he even entered the door, Qin Xiaowu's angry, childish voice had already drifted into the living room.
You don't even need to listen carefully; it's not hard to hear a hint of grievance in his voice.
Before entering the living room, Qin Xiaowu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then trotted into the living room on her short legs, shouting, "Little crybaby, I'm back!"
Upon seeing Song Lan, the child immediately called out, "Sister-in-law."
Song Lan nodded in response, and then said, "Xiao Liu is a younger sister, and you are the older brother. You can't give her a nickname, and you can't use a nickname to address your younger sister. That would make outsiders think that our family is very ill-mannered."
"I……"
Qin Xiaowu lowered his head, rubbing one foot on the ground: "I understand."
"Stand still and lift your head."
Noticing that Song Lan seemed a little angry, Qin Xiaowu immediately stood up straight and looked at Song Lan: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry."
"If you don't want me to get angry, don't do what you did just now, making those little moves in front of your elders."
"I didn't do anything underhanded."
"Whose feet were moving all this time?"
"...Okay, I know I was wrong!"
They say it like that, but they'll definitely forget it later.
A four-year-old child is naturally active, and it takes time to train him to sit and stand properly.
Of course, Song Lan knew this.
But as the eldest sister-in-law, it's nothing for her to spend a little more time teaching her younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law how to behave properly.
"Come and sit down."
With a softened expression, Song Lan waved.
Qin Xiaowu walked over with a "da da da" sound and sat down next to Qin Xiaoliu.
"Xiao Liu said your second brother went to the hospital. You and your sister-in-law can talk about it in detail."
Could it be that they're going to visit Qin Yanzheng?
In other words... her husband is now seriously injured and in a coma, or he was injured long ago but has not yet woken up in the hospital. Now that his boss knows he can no longer hide it, he has notified their family.
Song Lan pondered to herself.
“An uncle came to our house and said…that my eldest brother was in the hospital. After hearing this, my second brother went with that uncle.”
Mentioning her elder brother, Qin Xiaowu's big eyes uncontrollably filled with tears: "Sister-in-law, will my brother be alright?"
"Won't."
Even if something happens, as long as she's there, things will always get better.
"Then...what about Daddy?"
Qin Xiaowu asked again.
"Don't worry, Dad will come home safely sooner or later."
Song Lan spoke with certainty, believing that good would prevail over evil.
After all, my father-in-law's professional competence is evident to all; how could he possibly make such a basic mistake?
—There was a slight error in a piece of data on the R&D drawings.
If the long string of events that appeared in her mind was true, then she had reason to suspect that her father-in-law had been framed.
—The factory is going to promote a deputy factory director from the technology research and development department to be in charge of research and development work.
Qin Shuhan's father-in-law was highly regarded by everyone because he had both education and experience. But no one expected that such a thing would happen!
Footsteps echoed in the courtyard, and soon the tall, thin figure of the boy appeared at the living room door. His eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness, but when he saw Song Lan and her two younger siblings sitting on the sofa, he immediately composed himself so that the two children would not notice anything amiss.
"Sister-in-law..."
He turned his gaze to Song Lan, his lips twitched, and he called out softly in his low, husky voice, a sound born from puberty.
"Xiao Wu, take Xiao Liu back to the room to play for a while. Your sister-in-law and your second brother can talk for a bit."
After sending the two children away, Song Lan pointed to the sofa opposite her, indicating that Qin Boyan should sit down.
She sized him up.
He was a fair-skinned and handsome young man, whose eyes and brows clearly exuded an air of untamed spirit, but now they were covered by a layer of bewilderment and unease.
Even though he tried his best to hide it, Song Lan was always observant and had sharp eyes, so how could he not see through it?
I've heard about your older brother's situation since I was little.
Upon opening the door and seeing the young man directly, Song Lan didn't bother with beating around the bush. Her eyes were clear and calm: "I know you're uneasy because of the series of misfortunes that have befallen the family. I can give you a straight answer here. As your sister-in-law, I will not leave or abandon this family. As for your older brother and father, I believe they will be safe and sound."
Her voice was soft and unhurried, yet Qin Boyan inexplicably believed it.
The boy felt even more at ease after meeting her clear and calm eyes.
But a question arose in his mind.
Is this my sister-in-law?
Is it that delicate and frail sister-in-law who always keeps her head down and complains about not speaking much to her family members ever since she married into the Qin family?
Song Lan took in the confusion in Qin Boyan's eyes.
However, she didn't explain anything, but instead asked, "What's the situation with your older brother now?"
Qin Boyan pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and then replied, "The day before Dad's accident, my eldest brother was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. His condition was very critical, but our family was dealing with a lot of things at the time, so his boss at work didn't notify us. After emergency treatment, his life was saved, but he hasn't woken up yet..."
After a consultation with the hospital, it was concluded that... there was a blood clot in a sensitive area of the older brother's brain, making surgery difficult; they could only wait for the blood clot to dissipate on its own.
Furthermore, even if my elder brother wakes up one day, he will most likely be blind.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan's expression remained unchanged. She then asked, "That's all?"
"..."
Qin Boyan hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "My elder brother's left leg was also seriously injured. He was diagnosed with nerve damage in the injured area, and it will be very difficult for him to fully recover!"
He stared straight at Song Lan, as if trying to see something unusual on her face, but Qin Boyan found that his sister-in-law, who was originally delicate and weak, was still calm and composed, just like when he first entered the room.
She has really changed!
