No matter how Li Yueniang explained that she hadn't laid a hand on Qin Xiangxiang, no one believed her.
It was a boy.
At the time, Qin Xiangxiang insisted that her eldest son was not born because of Li Yueniang.
However, Li Yueniang had no evidence to prove that Su Changzhi's disappearance was related to Qin Xiangxiang.
At that time, she was so busy looking for Su Changzhi that she didn't have time to find evidence to prove her innocence.
Taking advantage of this situation, Qin Xiangxiang sought help from the organization. In addition, Su Yi was also lying in bed half-dead at that time, leaving Li Yueniang and Su Changqing completely isolated and helpless in this unfamiliar city.
At that moment, she felt like her world had collapsed. She had no clear mind to analyze what would be in her best interest. Given the condition that someone would be sent to help find Su Changzhi, she immediately agreed to divorce Su Yi.
Although everyone suspected and even believed that Li Yueniang had aborted Qin Xiangxiang's child because she was ruthless and almost killed Su Yi in one fell swoop, Qin Xiangxiang did not have any concrete evidence to prove that Li Yueniang was the one who did it. Therefore, the mediation at the time was that no one was allowed to cause trouble for the other party because of the child.
Unexpectedly, Su Changzhi's disappearance back then was really orchestrated by Qin Xiangxiang, and according to Su Changzhi, the child she was pregnant with at the time probably wouldn't have survived even if she hadn't gone to him.
What a brilliant move to kill two birds with one stone! What a clever Qin Xiangxiang!
Li Yueniang's face was gloomy, and her heart was churning like a volcano erupting.
“I had my suspicions about her back then. That night, I went up to her and argued with her for a bit, and then she collapsed.”
"The baby in her womb also didn't survive."
Su Changzhi looked up, his face full of anger, "She pinned this crime on Mother? She did something immoral herself, and now she's trying to shift the blame!"
"Ha, she's really willing to do that... that child is almost full-term."
“When I saw her at the alley entrance that year, she was clearly in labor. Although she was bleeding, she was already close to her due date. If she had gone to the hospital immediately, the baby might not have died.”
"She's set up a trap, cutting off a piece of her own flesh, waiting for her mother to come knocking."
"This child will clear her name, exonerate our family, and make Chen Shimei feel guilty towards her."
Li Yueniang sneered, "That's right, what a brilliant scheme. It's a shame I've kept a shred of it all these years..."
Although Li Yueniang did not actually lay a hand on her back then, the child in Qin Xiangxiang's belly was indeed not born when Li Yueniang came to her door.
She had some reservations...
Sometimes Li Yueniang wondered if Qin Xiangxiang's child would have been safe if she hadn't stormed over angrily.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiangxiang was even more ruthless than she had imagined. That was a fully developed male fetus, and Qin Xiangxiang was only eighteen or nineteen years old at the time.
Although Liao Fengmei and her three siblings couldn't understand what their grandmother and father were saying, they sensed the heavy atmosphere and carefully observed their father and grandmother.
Li Yueniang snapped out of her daze and quickly smiled as she served food to the children.
"Eat, eat, it's alright, Grandma and Dad are just chatting."
"After you've eaten your fill, Grandma will take you to the tailor shop to take your measurements. We'll make each of you an autumn outfit and a winter outfit, and we'll also make your schoolbags!"
Liao Fengmei quickly refused, "Mother, no need to do it, no need to do it. We all brought back clothes, we have plenty to change into."
Li Yueniang immediately said, "Don't say anything. This is my gift to the children as their grandmother. It's also good for you and Changzhi to make two sets."
"By the way, Sixiang and Sijia's schooling needs to be settled as soon as possible. Sigui, you should go to school with them too. You still need to pick up your books."
Su Changzhi's spirits lifted. This was also a source of worry for him. Two years ago, Si Guike was only in the second year of junior high school. If it weren't for his collapse, he would be in the first year of senior high school now.
Si Gui's eyes lit up, and she asked nervously, "Grandma, am I...am I okay?"
"I'm already 16. If I want to continue studying, I'll be in the second year of junior high."
Li Yueniang comforted her, "Okay, what's wrong with that? You know you're only sixteen, you haven't even graduated from junior high school yet, how can you do that?"
Then Li Yueniang turned to look at Su Changzhi, "It's probably too late today. I'll take you to Tongrentang first thing tomorrow morning."
Liao Fengmei looked up with a look of surprise. Even though she was on the island, she had heard of Tongrentang's reputation and that it was a very, very powerful medical institution.
"Mother, Tongrentang? Is that the Tongrentang that served as the imperial physician for our family and treated the emperor a long time ago?"
Li Yueniang said softly, "I don't know if they have treated the Emperor, but the doctors inside are all quite skilled."
Liao Fengmei nodded repeatedly, "Let's go, let's go."
As she spoke, Liao Fengmei explained to Li Yueniang, "Changzhi has decompression sickness. If a good doctor can see him, this illness can be cured."
"Decompression sickness?" Li Yueniang didn't quite understand what decompression sickness was.
She looked at Su Changzhi's gray hair. He was extremely thin, but his face was swollen, clearly the result of years of overwork.
Liao Fengmei was originally introverted, but she became more talkative when talking about her husband's health.
“Mother, we used to live in a fishing village by the sea. The villagers all made a living by fishing. Changzhi got decompression sickness because he often went into the water and stayed in the water for too long.”
"Several years ago, I started having severe pain in all my bones, especially my spine and joints. I often couldn't sit or lie down comfortably because of the pain, and I couldn't sleep all night."
Thinking of her husband's previous condition, Liao Fengmei looked distressed. Recently, before Si Gui went to Ghana, she received a thousand yuan in wages and secretly bought medicine for Su Changzhi. He only felt a little better after taking the medicine.
Liao Fengmei frowned and said, "I've gotten a little better after taking medicine for the past two months. Before, I had problems with my hearing, vision, and digestive system."
"If there are good doctors, his illness can usually be cured."
Li Yueniang breathed a sigh of relief; this was good news.
Su Changzhi hesitated for a moment but still spoke up, "Mother, this illness isn't life-threatening. Many elderly people in the village have gone through this. Whether or not we get treatment doesn't really matter."
He felt ashamed. His mother had raised him for so long, and he had been gone for over twenty years. Now that he had finally returned, it was his turn to be filial to his mother.
As a result, the mother had to worry about everything: food and lodging, the children's schooling, making clothes, and taking them to the doctor.
Mother is already this old...
Li Yueniang understood perfectly well what Su Changzhi was thinking. "It's good that he can be cured. Tongrentang has the best doctors. Mother has money, let's go for treatment! After he's cured, Mother will enjoy the blessings of my Changzhi."
Hearing Li Yueniang say this, Su Changzhi nodded with shame, "Once I'm cured, I will definitely take good care of you, Mother."
