Song Zhaodi hesitated, and Shu Ying, seeing that she had something to say, said directly, "Sister Song, I have always treated you as family. If you have any thoughts, you can communicate with me in time. Before you find a job, this is your home. You don't need to feel guilty."
Song Zhaodi put down the rag in her hand, and after what seemed like a long time of deliberation, she hesitated before speaking.
“Yingying, I think your sister-in-law is probably not a simple person. She's been acting suspiciously around here for a while now. I always felt that there was something wrong with the neighbors. Two days ago, she was spreading rumors about you here, and I caught her red-handed. Logically speaking, you are family, and I shouldn't say such things, but you can't be too careful. I'm just afraid that you will be bullied in this family.”
Shu Ying's smile deepened, and her heart warmed considerably. Although she and Song Zhaodi had only met halfway through their lives, it felt as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Sister Song, I know you care about me. If you see something like this again, don't worry about it. Just tell me when you come back. I was just thinking that she hasn't been here recently, but this is good. At least out of sight, out of mind."
Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "That's right."
Shu Ying got up to help with the housework. Now that everyone had something to do, Li Qingqing's complexion had improved a lot.
She was overjoyed after secretly delivering the sewing machine to Li Qingqing last night.
Now that she has more important things to do, she's not in a hurry to go to the hospital anymore. She spends her days either sewing new clothes at the sewing machine or playing with Tuantuan. Duan Huaichuan at the hospital is no longer so important to her.
At first, Song Zhaodi was worried about her, but Li Qingqing herself was very open-minded.
"Anyway, I might not get any favors in the hospital. Rather than pouring my heart out and getting scorned, I might as well stay home and spend time with the kids. With Zhong Yun'er by my side in the hospital, Duan Huaichuan will probably be overjoyed. He doesn't care about his reputation anymore, so what do I have to worry about?"
Is having children or money more important to a man?
She had already walked through the gates of hell, and no one in this world was more important than her life, let alone men.
After the house was all tidied up, Shu Ying took some daily necessities to the hospital and saw Li Qingqing in the yard, holding Tuantuan and sunbathing.
"Our Tuantuan seems to have grown quite a bit taller these past few days. He'll be a little man soon, and then he can go to school with his older brothers and sisters, okay?"
The soft sunlight shone on Li Qingqing, who held a rattle drum in her hand, which made a crisp sound. She hadn't been in the capital for long, but Tuantuan had already gained more than two pounds, and her face was chubby, like a little meatball that had just come out of the pot.
Shu Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud. Looking at the mother and son who seemed so content, she pushed open the door and walked in from outside.
"I thought you went to the hospital again. I didn't expect you to be hiding here and living a comfortable life. By the way, have you received any money from Duan Huaichuan that he sent home during the year you haven't been in contact with him?"
This was something Shu Ying had just thought of. It's said that a man's heart is where his money is. While that's not entirely true, having money in your hands always makes you feel more secure.
Li Qingqing picked Tuantuan up upright and then belatedly shivered: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. I didn't even notice something so important. I haven't received a single penny from him all these years. He has a fixed allowance every month in the army. He can't possibly spend it all by himself, can he?"
Although Li Dacheng and his wife favored sons over daughters, they were equally greedy. Whenever Duan Huaichuan sent money back home over the years, the avaricious couple would treat her like a human being.
"You should really sort things out. You need to keep control of the finances. Things are different now. You have a child now, and there's Zhong Yun'er eyeing you covetously in the hospital. Don't end up losing both your wife and your money, which would be a net loss."
Li Qingqing is now completely letting Duan Huaichuan run wild. Even though she has no feelings for that man anymore, she can't be foolish enough to refuse his money.
