Huang Meiling looked at Shu Ying with eyes full of pride, as if she had already treated her as her own daughter.
“I know Yingying’s abilities. You are so outstanding that you could have easily stayed in the military hospital. You have a bright future and don’t have to worry about where you go.”
She quickly lowered her head and said guiltily, "It's just that your father and I have been too busy with work these past few years, and we didn't even know you were pregnant and raising two children alone. Zhiyan, as your husband, wasn't there for you either. When you needed someone to take care of you the most, we..."
As she spoke, her voice already choked with emotion.
Shu Ying gently patted her back: "Mom, it's all in the past. We're doing very well now, and that's enough."
The most valuable quality in a person is contentment.
Xie Wenyuan sat on the sofa: "Your mother can't let you go, but we can't contact you here. We can only have your sister send you things during holidays. Your mother's monthly salary is divided into two parts, one for you and one for your sister. Yingying, we haven't done enough, please don't mind."
Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan exchanged a glance, sensing that something was amiss.
However, before the two noticed the change in Shu Ying's expression, Huang Meiling brought up Shu Ying's parents again.
“I know you’ve always been a very strong child. We’ve heard about your parents’ situation. So many things have happened in your family, and you’ve carried it all on your own. You should have written to us. We’re all family, and no matter what happens, we should get through it together.”
When her parents were mentioned again, Shu Ying lowered her head and her eyes reddened.
Memories of being carefully protected as a child flooded back. My parents were the last line of defense between me and death, but now they are gone forever.
"It all happened so suddenly, I don't know how to tell you."
The death of her parents has always been a thorn in Shuying's heart. Every day when she wakes up in the old house, she thinks about what it would be like if her parents were still alive.
She was not a good daughter. Her parents gave birth to her and raised her, but she had not had the chance to fulfill her filial duties. The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; the child may wish to care for his parents, but they are no longer there. This is the sorrow of a lifetime.
Xie Wenyuan also lowered his head. Seeing that the atmosphere in the ward had become melancholy again, he sighed and said, "If our in-laws were here, they wouldn't want to see us sighing like this. Fortunately, all of you children are still doing well."
Shu Ying nodded, her gaze falling on Xie Zhiyan.
Xie Zhiyan clasped his hands together, carefully choosing his words, and brought up Xie Wanying's matter.
After he finished explaining everything in a clear and methodical manner, Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling were still in shock and hadn't recovered.
"Wanying, she..."
Huang Meiling's hands trembled; she couldn't believe this was her daughter.
