"Mommy, don't cry, don't cry. Look, Xiaoduo still has a piece of candy. The candy is very sweet. Eating the candy will make you feel better."
The little girl patted her mother's back, took out a piece of candy from her pocket that she had been saving for who knows how long, and which was stuck to the candy wrapper, and presented it to Zhao Qinglan like a treasure.
Seeing her daughter's obedient and sensible nature, Zhao Qinglan cried even louder.
She was crying so loudly that everyone in the ward looked over.
What's wrong with this woman?
"Perhaps she suffered some mistreatment at her in-laws' house, otherwise why would she be in the hospital crying like this?"
Wang Dazhi, who had finally managed to persuade his mother to return to the ward, turned pale upon hearing these words and quickly came over.
"Qinglan, Qinglan, don't cry. Look, everyone's watching." The implication is clear: Don't you feel ashamed?
Zhao Qinglan stopped crying, looked up at him, and in that glance, there was only hatred and regret, without a trace of warmth or affection. Wang Dazhi couldn't help but take a step back.
"Qinglan, what's wrong with you?" Wang Dazhi asked, startled.
Zhao Qinglan's tears just now were simply due to the overwhelming excitement of seeing her daughter whom she hadn't seen for decades. Along with the excitement came heartache and years of suppressed grievances. But now, in front of Wang Dazhi, Zhao Qinglan didn't want to cry anymore.
She wiped her face, smiled at her daughter, and said in the gentlest voice, "Xiaoduo, Mommy doesn't want to eat. Come here and sit here with Mommy." Then she picked up her daughter and put her on the bed.
After doing all this, Zhao Qinglan finally looked at Wang Dazhi, who was still waiting for her answer.
It really is Wang Dazhi from twenty years ago. He's much younger now, but he still can't change his scumbag nature.
How did things unfold after she was hospitalized in her previous life? After recovering a bit in the hospital, her mother-in-law couldn't wait to go home, and Wang Dazhi kept nagging that his children missed her and were looking forward to her return.
Missing her? Probably missing her as their free housekeeper so they can go back and cook and do laundry for them.
But how foolish she was in her previous life! She believed Wang Dazhi's lies. Despite still feeling weak and unwell, she went back with a grateful expression and continued to serve this family like a slave. But who in the Wang family remembered that she was a patient who had just been discharged from the hospital?
This time, she refused to be a free babysitter for these scumbags again.
Feeling uncomfortable under Zhao Qinglan's gaze, Wang Dazhi began to feel uneasy. "Qinglan?"
Zhao Qinglan snapped out of her daze and twitched her lips. "I remember the doctor said I fainted because of malnutrition and overwork. I'm hungry now, go buy some food, and remember to make sure it's nutritious."
"Sigh, I'm the only one supporting the family. I take care of my parents-in-law and several children from morning till night, and it's exhausted me." She didn't lower her voice when she said this, and everyone in the ward heard her.
Wang Dazhi could hardly believe what he had heard, but noticing the strange looks he was getting from the others, he sheepishly agreed and fled.
Watching him leave, Zhao Qinglan sneered. He couldn't take it? The humiliations she, Zhao Qinglan, had endured were far greater than this, perhaps a thousand times more. Just wait and see; this was only the beginning. She had much more to do.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Xiaoduo tugged at her sleeve, a little scared.
She lowered her head. Zhao Qinglan's eyes immediately softened again.
"Mom is fine. Xiaoduo, wait a moment, Dad will bring some delicious food over, let's eat together."
She wasn't worried at all that Wang Dazhi wouldn't come back. After all, she knew very well how much Wang Dazhi cared about his reputation. So many people in the ward had heard it. Not only would Wang Dazhi come back soon, but he would also bring some decent food.
Hearing that she could eat something delicious with her mother, Xiaoduo immediately became happy, but she still asked cautiously, "Mom, should we share some with my older brother and sister?"
After all, the best food at home is always given to the older siblings first, and then it's their turn.
Seeing her daughter being so careful, Zhao Qinglan's eyes immediately reddened, and she said with great heartache, "No need, just the two of us will eat."
Her little Duo will no longer have to defer to those two ungrateful wretches, Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan.
In her previous life, after marrying into the Wang family, she always remembered that she was a stepmother.
Not wanting anyone to feel that Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan, who were not her biological children, would always let Xiaoduo give way to her older brother and sister whenever there was something delicious or fun to play with at home.
Of course, it's also because her in-laws are always watching her, so she can't treat her little Duo any better, even though her little Duo is the youngest in the family.
Even though her little girl was so well-behaved and sensible, Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan were still able to cruelly commit such evil deeds.
Her parents-in-law and Wang Dazhi turned a blind eye and covered up for these two beasts, letting her little Duo suffer there. Did anyone think about her little Duo?
What kind of loving and devoted stepmother? To hell with her! Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan don't deserve her!
Looking at her daughter who had been lost and found again, Zhao Qinglan didn't dare to move her eyes, for fear that if she blinked, the child would be gone, and that it was all just a dream.
As Zhao Qinglan expected, Wang Dazhi soon returned, carrying two metal lunchboxes.
"Qinglan, you've really worked hard taking care of the children. It's just that I was too busy with work and couldn't help you. Sigh, I wish I hadn't worked those extra days."
After sighing, he continued, "I was thinking of working hard for a few more days to save enough money to buy you the sewing machine you want most. I never expected this. Anyway, I bought you braised pork and steamed buns. Eat up."
