If she hadn't heard the doctor say that day, "Why don't you take care of your body? I've been a doctor for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen you in such a bad health." She would probably still be a rich wife.
She was ill, and her illness was closely related to her previous dissolute life.
When she felt unwell and went to the hospital every day due to bleeding, all the retribution had already begun.
Not only did she suffer from cervical cancer, she also had a host of other complicated illnesses, all related to reproductive infections. Doctors clearly stated that these were all related to her uncontrolled sex life.
Moreover, her illnesses have reached a point where they are incurable. Even if she has money now, she cannot buy back her life or her healthy body.
After hearing the news, she felt like the sky was falling.
At first, she complained that God was unfair. She had finally been able to live a good life, but after just four years, God was going to take it away. She was unwilling to accept this.
Perhaps that's just how people are. Even the worst people can say good things before they die! She stopped blaming the world and started thinking about what else she had to do, what she had to make up for in the remaining time, what she had to explain.
She wanted to go find Jiang Fu and his family and see her two grown-up sons, but then she thought they might not want to see her.
Moreover, the two sons were already grown up and had someone to take care of them. They should be living a good life and did not need her, an outsider, to give them instructions. Therefore, she gave up the idea of meeting her two eldest sons.
She pondered it carefully in her mind, and finally realized that the only thing she was worried about was her young daughter.
The Fu family would definitely not accept this daughter, so the only person they could entrust their child to was Niu Wa. But Niu Wa was a carefree person after all, and she was really worried about her daughter's future.
That's why she hurried back with the money she'd received from the old man. No matter what, this money should be enough for Niu Wa and the child for a while! As for the future, she really couldn't take it that long.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so quiet all of a sudden? Where have you been these past few years?"
Seeing that she was distracted, Niu Wa asked timidly.
She secretly wiped the tears from her face, not wanting Niu Wa to see. Who was she, Zhang Xiaoqin? Even if she died, she would die with dignity. She would never let others look down on her, and she would never let others see her fear or sadness, especially the useless man beside her.
"I'm telling you, this time you go over there, you're going to take Jiaorong back home as an adoptive child. You're going to treat her well, be a good father, and let her grow up happy. If you dare treat her badly, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. Do you understand?"
She was used to giving orders, and even though she was sick beyond recognition, she still acted arrogant and domineering towards the cowardly Niu Wa.
"Alright, after all, she has my blood in her body. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! How could I possibly treat her badly? But you're being so weird, making it sound like it was your last words."
Niu Wa said the last sentence in a low voice with a frightened expression. He was probably afraid that Zhang Xiaoqin would lose her temper and throw him out of the window after hearing this!
Zhang Xiaoqin's reaction surprised him. She didn't get angry at all, and fell into deep thought again.
He knew Zhang Xiaoqin's character. Tiger's butt was not so easy to touch. He would do whatever Zhang Xiaoqin said. Since Tiger didn't say anything, there was no need for him to cause trouble.
The road to town wasn't a smooth concrete road, but a gravel road, full of potholes. The car was bouncing up and down, shaking violently. This rocking was actually a sleep-inducing experience. Seeing that the journey was still long, Niu Wa folded his arms across his chest, leaned back in the car seat and dozed off.
He slept soundly, dreaming not only of his passionate lovemaking with Zhang Xiaoqin but also of the chicken being cooked in his kitchen. A smile remained on his face, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
It was not until they arrived at the station that Zhang Xiaoqin pinched his arm hard, and he was awakened by the pain. He screamed "Ahhhh", ending his beautiful dream.
"We've arrived at our stop, but you haven't gotten off yet. Do you want to sit back down? Look at your behavior. Hurry up and wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth." Zhang Xiaoqin said as she got off the bus first.
She muttered to herself, "I, Zhang Xiaoqin, was so blind to get involved with a man like this. Even if it's better to find an old man in his seventies or eighties as a father for my child, it's better than finding such a loser."
As she spoke, she tightened her grip on her backpack.
She is a little hesitant now. Is it really reliable to give this money to such a man and let him raise the child?
On the way to the welfare home, Zhang Xiaoqin couldn't help herself and stopped Niu Wa to ask, "Can you take care of Jiaorong by yourself?"
"Are you kidding me? I'm a grown man and I definitely can't take care of it. Isn't this all your women's business? Otherwise, what are you women for?"
"Hey! Are you still right?"
“That’s right!”
"I'm telling you the truth! I have a terminal illness and I don't have many days left. From now on, Jiaorong will have to be taken care of by you..."
"What? You have a terminal illness?" Niu Wa yelled in shock, looking Zhang Xiaoqin up and down with suspicion. "You look so arrogant, how can you say you have a terminal illness? Yes, you look a little haggard than before, but at most you just didn't sleep well. Don't make fun of me, no matter how dumb I am, I can still see that."
Niu Wa thought about the fierce look in Zhang Xiaoqin's eyes when she scolded him just now, and he just couldn't believe what Zhang Xiaoqin said.
