It's not appropriate to resort to simple conspiracy theories. The truth is, Fang He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would willingly let things settle. She must have a backup plan. A simple explanation just doesn't fit her character.
"Is she still unable to let go of her child?"
If this happened in another family, and the son and daughter-in-law divorced, it would indeed be unfair for the elderly to take the child away like this. However, they all know Fang He very well. Regardless of whether what she did was excessive or not, no one can deny her love for her child. Putting all that aside, she is also a good mother.
That's why they were even more worried, and even more afraid that she would lose her mind for the sake of the child.
"I don't know if she can't let go of the child, or if she's unwilling to accept that she didn't get any benefits from the Qin family, but she's keeping an eye on my second brother and sister-in-law, and it must be for the child. My second brother and sister-in-law have always been well-behaved, especially after the incident, they've been extremely cautious. She can't possibly be trying to find fault with them, can she? Does she really want to wipe out the Qin family?"
As he said this, Qin Qinghuai himself was stunned.
"No way? Could she be that ruthless?"
I don't really know much about Fang He, and what I do know is mostly negative. However, I also think that someone who loves children so much shouldn't suddenly become so extreme. But I'll still be honest and say...
"I don't know her. Apart from that night, everything else I've heard from you guys is what I know. But if she really loves children, doesn't she have other plans?"
It wasn't that she was thinking the best of him, but just a moment ago, seeing Qin Jing's increasingly silent expression, she changed the words she was about to say.
"You're too far away. Even if she has this idea, what can you do?"
As the old saying goes, "You can't guard against thieves forever, even if you're a thief for a thousand days." Besides, how can you possibly reach out that far from home? Parents brought the child here precisely to avoid being influenced by that side, right?
"I see,"
Qin Qinghuai seemed to be deep in thought.
"However, Fang He is also a ticking time bomb. I've been asking for help to keep an eye on her. I'll call her when I get back to the office and try to keep her under my control so that we'll have a plan if something happens."
These things are simple, so I don't want to worry about them. I'll just clear away the bowls after breakfast.
"I'll deliver the cloth and cotton to Sister Wang in a bit. They often live in the family compound and probably know my parents' measurements, so they can probably make something similar."
Oh, right, look at these cotton-padded jackets. They were made for Xiao Rui and Xiao An a couple of years ago when we were in the village, but they grew so fast that they were too small before they could even be worn. Do you think they can fit Qin Jing, Qin Guan, and Qin Ming?
If they don't mind, then let them wear it; if they don't, then wait for Sister Wang and the others to make new ones.”
"You've thought of everything quite thoughtfully."
He had seen the new clothes in the closet before, but hadn't questioned them. He hadn't expected them to end up being used on the kids. He reached out and touched them.
“New fabric, new cotton, what do they have to complain about? Even Fang He wouldn’t be willing to make such good clothes for them. I’ve seen it before, those cotton-padded jackets, the older ones are worn by the younger ones, and then in winter they’re patched together and worn again. Even Qin Jing, the eldest, hasn’t worn new clothes many times.”
I don't want to get involved in this simple matter.
“Sure, if you think it’s okay, then I’ll take these over later and let Mom and the girls try them on. If they don’t fit, I’ll ask Sister Wang to alter them. We have a sewing machine at home, so it’s convenient.”
"good."
Qin Qinghuai truly believed that among all the wives in the Qin family, his wife was the best.
"But don't be too naive and give them all the good stuff. Keep what you can use for yourself. As for Sister Wang, let them work hard for her. Send her off this afternoon, and the regimental commander and I will discuss their affairs."
"Leaving this afternoon? So soon?"
Qin Qinghuai's first reaction was that she couldn't bear to part with Tang Sumei.
"There's no way around it this time. On the surface, it's just a meeting, but my second aunt is actually quite busy. Let's wait a bit longer. After the hospital is completed in a few days, I'll see if I can transfer my second aunt back."
"No, no, no need,"
I was momentarily distracted and didn't realize that my words had caused him to misunderstand.
"No need for special arrangements, it's all official business. Just follow your own arrangements. If she can't leave there for the time being, it wouldn't be good to force her to come back. Anyway, it's close by, so it's convenient for her to go there if she wants to."
They've already put the hospital matter on the agenda, and now the medical staff and management are discussing it. Qin Qinghuai's motives aren't entirely selfish.
After seeing the person off, Jian Dan took the selected fabric, cotton, and scraps of cloth to the next room.
Sister-in-law Wang was getting anxious waiting at home. She said that yesterday, but I wonder if Sister Jian regretted it. After all, so many scraps of cloth are valuable items.
Just when I was getting impatient, they arrived. They didn't ask for much: one cotton coat and one outer coat, two pairs of cotton shoes. Everyone was nearby, so it was convenient to take measurements. There wasn't much else to say.
When she arrived at the Qin family's house with the cotton-padded coat, the old lady was wearing her reading glasses and sewing clothes for the child. Seeing her, she smiled.
"You're awake? Why didn't you lie down a little longer? Did you get too tired from going up the mountain? We won't help you with things like this again, okay? Let the third brother and the others worry about it themselves. You need to take better care of yourself, you know?"
He talked for a while before looking at the clothes she had brought over.
"What's wrong? Does it not fit? Here, try it on, and Mom will alter it for you."
He simply pushed the clothes over, joking as he did so.
"Mom, you can even sew clothes? I wish I hadn't asked anyone else."
The old lady laughed heartily and waved her hands.
"I can't do it, but I can alter a couple of stitches. I'm telling you, I learned this from fighting in the war. Sometimes the clothes we were issued were too big and baggy, so I would just make a couple of pleats inside. I didn't care if they looked good or not, as long as they were wearable."
Even if it's simple, I'll just laugh. Then let's not give her that chance.
"These are cotton-padded coats that I made for Cheng Rui and Cheng An before, but they haven't worn them yet. But they grow fast. Mom, take a look. If you don't mind, you can let Qin Jing, Qin Guan, and Qin Ming try them on."
As you know, I'm clumsy with my hands, so I can't do it myself.
I asked Sister Wang and the others to make cotton-padded coats for you and Dad. They'll be ready in a few days, then I'll bring them over. If these kids can wear them, I won't bring them; I'll just make coats for Qin Shao and Qin Heng.
The old lady paused, and her smile faded.
“Daughter-in-law, aren’t you making this old lady feel bad? Tell me, even in my old age, I’m still a burden to you.”
"Oh my!"
Simple was startled.
"Don't say that. My parents are no longer here, but you are here. Isn't that the same as if my parents were still here? Isn't it only natural for a child to make clothes for their parents?"
