On the day of their discharge, Xu Guiying and the others went to thank Qin Zheng again.
If Qin Zheng hadn't come out of the men's restroom that day, Song Yingying would probably have been in trouble.
Qin Zheng shook his head. "It's nothing."
Qin Zheng's gaze settled on Song Yingying's face. After a moment, he asked Xu Guiying, "Do you live in Heping Lane?"
Xu Guiying nodded.
"That's right."
Qin Zheng: "Can I come to visit you in the future?"
Xu Guiying smiled and said, "Of course you can. You are Yingying's savior. You are very welcome to come to our home."
Qin Baohua looked at Qin Zheng with shock in his eyes.
The Qin family had strict discipline. Qin Zheng's parents had been traveling to various countries since he was born, and only a nanny accompanied him at home. Over time, Qin Zheng developed a silent and cold personality.
This was the first time Qin Zheng was going to make friends with someone else.
Qin Baohua felt very gratified, and his gaze towards the Song family softened even more.
After they left, Xu Guiying asked Song Yingying if she usually got along well with Qin Zheng.
Song Yingying shook her head, "I didn't know him before."
Qin Zheng is seventeen years old and a senior in high school, one year older than Song Yingying.
Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu couldn't help but think that the two were in a relationship, but then they felt it was impossible, since Qin Zheng didn't seem to like Song Yingying.
Maybe he just wants to make friends?
Back in the ward, the second brother and Song Rongrong were there. The third brother was the only one who knew the truth about the compensation. He stood on the balcony, feeling melancholy.
The eldest couple were nowhere to be seen.
The family carried their bags and packages back to Heping Lane, and the neighbors all came out to check on Song Yingying.
Aunt Wang called out to Xu Guiying, "Guying, why don't you take some time to go to the temple and pray?"
Although feudal superstition is not encouraged nowadays, there are still some things that should be avoided. Song Yingying has had two incidents in a short period of time, which is a bit strange.
Xu Guiying nodded.
"That's what I was planning to do too, thank you for reminding me."
Aunt Wang waved her hand, "We've been neighbors for so many years, why are you being so polite with me? I watched Yingying grow up too."
The third child remained silent from the moment he was discharged from the hospital until he returned home.
The second brother couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, what did you do? You don't owe money, do you?"
The third brother looked at Song Yangmin with a hesitant expression, "Never mind, you wouldn't understand."
Song Yangmin: "..."
"How could you understand? You've never experienced the joy you envisioned, so of course you don't know how I feel right now."
Song Yangmin's lips twitched slightly: "No need to say anything, I'm not curious."
Third brother: "Sigh, second brother, you have no idea how heartbroken I am..."
Song Yangmin assumed that the third brother was heartbroken.
...
That evening, Xu Guiying stewed chicken soup and prepared several elaborate dishes to welcome Song Yingying home and celebrate her discharge from the hospital.
The eldest son and his family didn't return until evening.
As soon as Liu Aimei entered the courtyard, she smelled the fragrance and muttered to herself, "Your mother is really good to your adopted sister."
Song Guomin rebuked, "Don't let Mom and Dad hear these kinds of things."
The couple whispered to each other, and the second son called the eldest son and the others inside to come in for dinner.
When Song Guomin got closer, he noticed the gauze on Song Yingying's head and exclaimed in surprise, "Yingying, are you so badly injured?"
Song Yingying whispered, "It's nothing now."
Song Guomin frowned. He should have gone to the hospital to see Song Yingying. He was the only one in the family who hadn't been to the hospital.
Song Xinfu and Xu Guiying came out of the kitchen, and there were several dishes on the table, all of which were Song Yingying's favorites.
The elderly couple didn't greet the eldest son and the others, but said to Song Yingying, "Yingying, dinner is ready."
Song Yingying was touched by how kind her uncle and aunt were to her.
I must work hard to earn money in the future to support my uncle and aunt.
The third brother ate with a heavy heart, and occasionally argued with Song Rongrong. Song Yangmin would say a few words now and then, but the eldest brother's family was always ignored whenever they spoke.
Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu didn't want to force themselves either. They didn't want to deal with the eldest brother, so they shouldn't force the younger one either.
Song Guomin endured the pain with a sullen expression, but no one paid any attention to Liu Aimei when she spoke, so she ate an extra bowl of rice in anger.
My parents cooked dinner tonight, so the task of washing the dishes was left to the younger children.
The eldest son's family did nothing, but the second and third sons were all watching him closely.
"You come back and are served food ready-made. It's not your job to wash the dishes, so who should?"
The eldest son, wanting to impress the elderly couple, said, "Okay, okay, okay."
Liu Aimei rolled her eyes. Anyway, she didn't want to wash it, so whoever wanted to wash it could wash it.
Song Guomin glared at her.
The two also kept an eye on Xu Guiying's job, at least to maintain a respectable public relationship within the family.
Liu Aimei reluctantly took the bowl to the kitchen.
The second son swept the house clean and went outside to take out the trash when he saw a familiar figure outside the alley.
Who else could it be but the fifth brother?
"Song Jianmin?"
Song Jianmin exclaimed, "Second Brother!"
What are you doing here?
"I'm afraid to go in; I'm afraid I'll get beaten up."
The second son looked at him with exasperation, "Have you eaten?"
The fifth brother shook his head like an idiot.
"Wait!"
The second son went back and brought him food, which was still chicken soup rice.
"Eat."
The fifth brother ate with gusto, saying, "Second brother, you're so good to me."
The second son rolled his eyes. "The family treats you very well, but you don't appreciate it."
The fifth brother, with tears in his eyes, said, "I already know I was wrong, I'll change, okay?"
-
That night, Song Anmin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The second son threw a pillow at him, saying, "If you're not going to sleep, get out."
The third brother sat up. "Second brother, I had a dream. I dreamt that I earned 30,000 yuan, and then Mom donated it to me."
The second son was speechless. "If it were money you earned honestly, Mom wouldn't do this."
The third brother's secret was exposed, and he remained silent.
Song Yangmin sneered, "Go to sleep quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow."
The third son tossed and turned all night before finally falling asleep. The next morning, when he got up early, he ran into his mother having breakfast.
Meeting Xu Guiying's warning gaze, the third brother looked like a defeated quail.
Song Yingying has been recuperating at home for some time. The food she cooked last night was enough for her, so she will heat up some food at home today.
When Liu Aimei went out, Xu Guiying had already left.
Liu Aimei had no choice but to take Yan Yan and Lele to her workplace with a dark expression.
As soon as Xu Guiying arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning, Brother Ding called over everyone in the purchasing department to praise her for her hard work and excellent performance recently, and promoted her to deputy director of the purchasing department!
It was only a matter of time, so no one was too shocked. They all smiled and congratulated Xu Guiying.
Xu Guiying returned to her seat and could hardly believe her current life.
She pinched her thigh hard, making her cry out in pain.
It's really true.
