On her first night back, Zhao Qinglan insisted on keeping watch herself, sending her two younger sisters to sleep in the guesthouse.
In the stillness of the night, Zhao Qinglan gazed at her sleeping mother and fell into deep thought.
She never imagined that she would have such a peaceful and harmonious relationship with her mother.
Was her previous resentment towards her mother and family perhaps because she had never tried to gain their trust and help?
She thought convincing her mother and sister would be difficult, and she was even prepared for a war of attrition, but when she actually did it, she found it was actually quite simple.
What she once thought were difficult and impossible, she now realizes are actually quite easy if she just takes a little more courage and steps forward.
Since her rebirth, the hatred that Li Huai and her daughter had diminished seemed to fade even more that night.
If you could have a few relatives by your side, who would want to be all alone?
Struggling alone is nothing more than a pretense of strength.
Zhao Qinglan fell asleep by the hospital bedside.
After Wang Dazhi left the Zhao family, the Zhao family itself fell into a power struggle.
It was simply because the conditions offered by Wang Dazhi were far too tempting.
The job of a full-time employee.
This is far more tempting than giving them a few hundred dollars.
How many people who toil in the fields every day don't want to move to the city, earn a salary, and obtain an urban household registration?
Although Wang Dazhi was removed from his position as workshop director, he must have had some connections to have climbed up to that position in the first place.
It would be difficult for him to come up with several hundred yuan right now, but he can still find a way to get a permanent job.
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zou were naturally satisfied with these conditions, but there was only one job, so who should it be given to?
The eldest son was the first to be ruled out.
Zhao Laoda didn't seem surprised at all, as if good things in the family were not something he was entitled to.
But he forgot that this job was obtained in exchange for her own daughter's marriage, and logically he was the one most qualified to get it.
But Zhao Laoda had been controlled by his mother for so many years that it had become a habit, and he believed that whatever his mother said was right.
Actually, Mrs. Zhao favored her youngest son more. If she were to make the arrangements, she would naturally prefer to give the job to her youngest son.
But she was afraid that her second son would be unhappy about it.
It's true that she favors her youngest son, but it's also true that he's lazy and good-for-nothing. She's also afraid that if she gives him a job, he won't last long and it will be a waste.
While she was struggling with her decision, her second and third sons' families had already started to have all sorts of ideas.
Both Ms. Zou and Ms. Wang naturally hoped that the job would fall into their family, and for this reason, they were both urging their husbands to take the job, even if it meant tearing each other apart...
In their view, a secure job means that their family's life will be different for the next few decades.
Wang Dazhi only sowed a seed, and internal conflicts were already brewing within the Zhao family.
If Wang Dazhi's condition hadn't been that she was Zhao Qinglan's younger sister, she probably would have applauded Wang Dazhi's brilliant idea.
Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao San frequently went in and out of their mother's room, and when they saw each other, they looked at each other like they were cross-eyed.
They were arguing heatedly when Zhao Laoda suddenly said something.
"We need to get Qingzhu and the others back first."
That's right. Without someone readily available, how could they fulfill Wang Dazhi's wish and get him that job?
Old Mrs. Zhao immediately spoke up.
"Eldest brother, tomorrow morning, you, the second and third brothers, will go into the city together. This time, even if you have to tie them up, bring those two swindler girls back to me."
The reason why Zhao's family did not come to the hospital for a long time after Zhao's mother was admitted.
Firstly, they were stopped after trying to get to the hospital, and secondly, they were afraid of incurring medical expenses, so they pretended not to know anything.
Secondly, the person was injured by Zhao Laoda. At that time, Li Aiguo verbally intimidated them. After all, Li Aiguo was a member of the Armed Forces Department. The Zhao family has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. After being intimidated like that, they dared not come.
But now, with huge benefits right in front of them, driven by profit, they're planning to come again.
Before dawn, people were already moving around in the hospital.
Zhao Qinglan was woken up and started helping her mother wash up and use the restroom. In the morning, the hospital's water and toilet facilities were in high demand.
Perhaps because Zhao Qinglan had returned, the people who had been asked by Li Aiguo and Sui Wenjing to keep an eye on things relaxed and stopped keeping an eye on them.
As Zhao Qinglan helped her mother to the door of the ward, she saw three uninvited guests blocking the way.
The Zhao family had no idea that Zhao Qinglan had returned, and they were all shocked when they saw her.
When Zhao Laoda recalled his experience at the train station, his anger flared up.
"You dare to come back?" He immediately raised his hand to slap her.
Zhao Qinglan wouldn't just stand there and get hit; she quickly helped her mother back several steps.
He blocked his mother's path, grabbed a broom from the aisle, held it in front of him, and immediately asked the medical staff for help.
"Doctor, nurse, there's a disturbance here!"
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. She and her mother, two women, were no match for three adult men.
Upon hearing her call, a nurse who was changing dressings in the ward immediately ran out.
"What's going on? Who's causing trouble?"
Zhao Qinglan pointed to her biological father.
"They not only beat someone into the hospital, but now they're trying to commit violence in the hospital."
The nurse looked at Zhao's mother, who was injured and hospitalized. She remembered her. Then she looked at Zhao's eldest son and the others, and her face immediately showed disdain.
Hitting a woman is unmanly, and to chase her to the hospital to continue hitting her? Is there no law?
"You, get out of here before I call for help," the nurse snapped, pointing at them.
Old Zhao was so angry he gritted his teeth. "It was like that at the train station, and it's still like this now." He declared defiantly, "I'm her father, this is my own wife. What's wrong with me hitting her a few times?"
The nurse hadn't expected them to have this kind of relationship, but what kind of skill is it to hit your own wife? She wasn't afraid and said, "You can't cause trouble and beat people up in the hospital."
Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju had been sleeping well at the guesthouse. They got up, bought breakfast, and had just walked into the corridor when they saw this scene and immediately rushed over.
The two sisters stood in front of their mother, side by side with their older sister, Zhao Qinglan.
"Don't hit my mother."
"What are you doing here?"
The nurse knew they were also Sun's daughters, but she didn't expect that these three biological daughters would be so dissatisfied with their father. It was clear how incompetent Zhao was as a father.
Perhaps it was because Zhao Qinglan, as the older sister, gave the younger sisters confidence and courage, and also showed them the courage to start a new life. Even though they were still afraid at this moment, they stood firmly together.
Seeing her sisters' performance, Zhao Qinglan was both moved and happy!
Her trip back was worthwhile; just seeing the changes in her mother and sister made her feel it was all worth it. Indeed, anything is possible with human effort!
