Deng Juan was a little confused, but she still nodded hard, âYou, tell meâ¦â âWhen you werenât home, Fang Xinyiâs grandparents accepted 5000 yuan from an old bachelor in Xu Village and sold Fang Xinyi to him as his wife.â Ji Yuanyuan whispered. âOn the first day of school, I felt something was wrong, so 1 went to your house. After hearing about this from the neighbors, we chased after Xu Village. Fortunately, we didnât arrive too late and managed to save Fang Xinyi in time.â
âWhat?â Deng Juanâs voice was a little sharp, and even Zhang Kun, who was driving, was shocked.
The hand holding the steering wheel trembled, and the car trembled as well.
After the steering wheel turned back, Zhang Kun was so scared that he let out a long sigh of relief.
âBig Sister, you scared me to death.â Zhang Kun said helplessly.
Deng Juan couldnât care less. Her face was filled with shock as she muttered to herself, âIt must be that old womanâs idea. When Xinyiâs father was still around, she tried everything she could to ruin us. Now that her father is gone, she can even do such a despicable thing. Isnât she afraid her son will come looking for her in the middle of the night?â
As she spoke, her hands were shaking, and so was her voice.
âItâs all my fault. I shouldnât have left Xinyi alone at home.â Deng Juan grabbed her hair and said regretfully.
However, she had no choice. If she stayed in the village, the mother and daughter would not even be able to eat, let alone go to school.
Ever since Xinyiâs father passed away, the old lady snatched the land back. How could they live without a source of income?
She had no choice but to come out to work. However, she was uncultured and weak. No one wanted her anywhere. Even if she did, the salary was very low and she could not save money at all. She could only do that kind of work.
She lived in a shabby house with several people sharing a room. The people living there were all doing that kind of work. How could she dare to bring Xinyi here?
She had originally wanted to save up money, but nowâ¦
She had been caught and her den had been taken out. She could not take risks in the future.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly comforted, âDonât worry, Fang Xinyi didnât suffer any losses. We arrived just in time.â
Deng Juan raised her head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan anxiously, âThank you so much. 1 donât even know how to repay you. Youâve saved Xinyiâs lifeâ¦â
âAuntie, you donât have to thank me. Xinyi, she⦠I didnât take good care of Xinyi. Sheâs in the hospital now!â
Deng Juanâs mood was really fluctuating.
The sigh of relief that he had just let go was now raised again, âWhat is it? Hospital?â
Ji Yuanyuan quickly explained, âShe took a knife for Yang Jingyi. The operation was completed yesterday. The doctor said that she is no longer in danger. She will be fine as long as she recuperates.â
Deng Juan suddenly burst into tears, âWhy is our Xinyiâs life so bitterâ¦â
Ji Yuanyuan also knew Deng Juan was upset. She took a tissue from the side and handed it to Deng Juan.
The car suddenly became silent. When they reached the entrance of the hospital, Ji Yuanyuan got out of the car with Deng Juan while Zhang Kun went to find a parking space.
Under Deng Juanâs urging, Ji Yuanyuan brought Deng Juan all the way to Fang Xinyiâs ward.
Hu Chunli was in the ward with Yang Jingyi.
Hu Chunli sat on the bed by the window and smiled at the two children.
Yang Jingyi was standing in front of Fang Xinyiâs bed with a box of washed strawberries in her hand, feeding Fang Xinyi.
âXinyiâ¦â Deng Juan pushed open the door and sobbed.
Fang Xinyi, who was still smiling, turned around and saw Deng Juan. Her eyes turned red.
Deng Juan quickly stepped forward and sized up Fang Xinyi, âHow is it? Does your wound still hurt? You silly child. Why are you so silly?â
Fang Xinyi sobbed as she consoled her, âMom, Iâm fine. Iâm not in pain at all. 1 havenât been able to contact you for the past few days. Where have you been?â
Yang Jingyi stood awkwardly at the side. She didnât know whether to stuff the strawberry in her hand into Fang Xinyiâs mouth or put it back into the box.
Hu Chunli saw this and knew that the mother and daughter had not seen each other for a long time. They must have a lot to talk about.
She quickly stepped forward, took Yang Jingyiâs hand, and led her out.
The door of the ward closed, giving space to the mother and daughter.
Soon, the sound of mother and daughter hugging each other and crying could be heard from the ward.
Hu Chunli brought Yang Jingyi and Ji Yuanyuan to sit on a bench nearby.
âMom, if Fang Xinyiâs mom scolds me later, donât be angry.â Yang Jingyi suddenly said.
âWhy would you think that?â Hu Chunli asked, amused.
âSheâs Xinyiâs mother,â Yang Jingyi whispered. âShe must be heartbroken that Xinyi is injured. Xinyi was injured because of me. She might blame meâ¦â
If scolding her would make Xinyiâs mother feel better, she was willing to take it.
Hu Chunli looked at her daughter with relief and reached out to touch her hair.
She did not know when it started, but her daughter seemed to be becoming more and more sensible. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât worry, even if Fang Xinyiâs mother hits you, 1 wonât stop her.â
Fang Xinyi had saved Jing Yiâs life.
If it wasnât for Fang Xinyi, Jingyi might have alreadyâ¦
For hemophiliacs, even a small wound could be fatal.
Moreover, it was such a deep wound.
As long as Jingyi was alive, it was more important than anything else.
The child had been stabbed for no reason. Even if he wanted to be beaten or scolded, it was only right.
Yang Jingyi leaned on Hu Chunli and whispered, âXinyi⦠It must be very painful, right?â
How could such a big wound on his body not hurt in the future?
However, when she asked Xinyi about it, Xinyi said it did not hurt at all.
âYou have to treat Xinyi better, okay?â Hu Chunli comforted her softly.
âGot it.â Yang Jingyi nodded hard.
Ji Yuanyuan sat obediently at the side, waiting for Deng Juan and Fang Xinyi to finish their conversation.
About ten minutes later, the door to the ward was opened.
Deng Juan appeared at the door of the ward.
She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and suddenly knelt down.
Ji Yuanyuan felt a headache coming on. What was wrong with Deng Juan? Why did she always like to kneel?
She hurried forward and was about to help Deng Juan up, âAuntie, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up! Letâs talk things out.â
Deng Juan held Ji Yuanyuanâs hand but did not get up. She only said, âThank you. Thank you to your family. Xinyi told me that if it werenât for you, her life would have been ruined..â
