Chapter 906: Live Well

After I finished speaking, He Qing stopped crying.

She took a tissue and wiped her tears,

After a moment, He Qing said, "Brother, don't say any more."

I know, you want to take everything on yourself so I won't hate Li Ming.

How could I not hate him?

No matter what, Xiao Long is his son.

How could he hit Xiao Long with a car,

This basically has no father-son affection at all.

Of course I hate him.

Also, I know a bit about his affair with that woman.

He betrayed me like this,

Does he even count as a person?

And Mother, how can you let him make her endure this?

He is a disloyal and unfilial person; how could I not hate someone like that,

If I saw him now, I would hate to bite him to death to relieve my hatred." He Qing said this while gritting her teeth.

What He Qing said is also true,

The things Li Ming did are disloyal and unfilial.

I also don't know how to comfort He Qing,

He Qing is a virtuous wife; following Li Ming, she never meddles or talks back.

Taking care of the elders,

Qian Niang has followed her for so long, never having any quarrels.

There are minor disagreements, but they don't count as anything.

Having such a virtuous wife can be said to bring happiness to three generations.

She respects the elders, cares for the children, and deeply loves her husband.

How happy Li Ming is. Truly, he is blessed but unaware of it.

I also wiped my tears and asked He Qing, "Sister-in-law, maybe you're right,

Li Ming has done some things too excessively,

I want to ask if Mother knows about this."

He Qing shook her head,

"I didn't dare tell Mother; how could I say this? My son killed someone, and my grandson suffered serious injury.

I believe Mother couldn't bear it. She has chanted Buddha all her life, never expecting such a thing to happen in her old age."

I nodded,

"Sister-in-law, regarding Mother's side, when I go back I will tell her; some things cannot be left unsaid.

You can't keep it hidden,

I want to wait until Xiao Long's condition improves a bit before telling Mother.

For now, keep it confidential."

"Brother, okay, I'll listen to you. You're a good person; if Li Ming truly listened to you, how great would that be, but he just doesn't listen,

you've told him many times not to seek his former position again, yet he doesn't listen,

you've asked him not to get too involved in the matters between Xiao Long and Fang Rui, yet he doesn't listen.

Even in private he complains that you ask too much.

Without you, he could have risen even higher.

Brother, we all know how he made his fortune.

Everyone resents this, and they resent Li Ming.

His heart has been fed to the dogs.

Brother, I don't hate you.

You have always wanted to help us,

finding us jobs, giving us a place to live.

Building a house in our hometown, you've done so much, but Li Ming keeps saying you do it because you feel guilty inside.

Over the past two years, I have often quarreled with Li Ming.

You know, we used never to argue before,

he views some things too extremistly.

In his eyes, everything he does is right.

Including the matter of Xiao Long's feelings, I have suffered many grievances in the middle.

That is my son; he and Xiao Long argue.

I am caught in the middle, saying neither side is right.

These days I often cry alone at night.

He has been on good terms with Yang Tao, which I knew early on.

I don't want to ask him; I'm even too lazy to ask.

Even him running off with Yang Tao is just fine; everyone can live a peaceful life.

I think Yang Tao is just using Li.

When the time comes, I'll kick him open with one foot.

"Brother, am I right?" He Qing looked at me and said.

"Younger sister-in-law, I've let you suffer injustice."

Sigh, Li Ming and I also had a huge conflict, as you know, all because of Fang Rui's matter.

He holds a deep misunderstanding of me.

We have not spoken to each other.

When he got too close to Yang Tao, I tried several times to dissuade him, but he simply wouldn't listen.

Now it has come to this point. Some things truly have no solution.

I hope you, younger sister-in-law, won't hate him much anymore, since the matter has already happened.

After the verdict, you should also see him in prison, after all you've been married for decades.

I believe that after seeing you, he'll surely regret his deeds.

Younger sister-in-law, let me tell you something: Xiao Long's girlfriend Fang Rui is pregnant, Li Jia told me.

Fang Rui whispered this to Li Jia while caring for Xiao Long.

I've already had Li Jia find a hotel near the hospital for Fang Rui,

so that Fang Rui can stay there.

Why am I telling you all this, younger sister-in-law? Some things have happened that are unavoidable.

No matter what, we must face it bravely.

I want to tell you, Fang Rui is pregnant, which means Xiao Long will have a child.

Why do we live? Not for anything else but for children.

I know you hold a grudge against Li Ming,

my main worry is for you, fearing that you'll become despondent when trouble arises.

If other situations arise, my heart will be even more sorrowful.

Let time dissolve your hatred toward Li Ming.

"We must all live well." After I finished speaking, I looked at He Qing.

He Qing gratefully glanced at me,

"Brother, I understand what you mean,

afraid I might encounter an accident. I've also thought that if Xiao Long receives bad news, I believe I couldn't go on living,

Li Ming has already gone in, and if Xiao Long meets another accident,

what strength would I have left to live?

Fortunately, Xiao Long was rescued. One could say Heaven opened its eyes.

And about you mentioning Fang Rui's pregnancy,

I believe Mom would be overjoyed.

"Rest assured, brother, I will live properly." He Qing said earnestly.

Hearing He Qing say that, I also nodded earnestly,

"That's good, you can be at ease. Then, stay in the Provincial Capital: first to watch over Xiao Long, second to care for Fang Rui.

After all, she's pregnant. Many things would be inconvenient."

"Alright, I'll follow your word, brother. I'm leaving now; you also take care of yourself," He Qing stood up and said.

"Younger sister-in-law, I won't see you off. Take care of yourself," I said.

He Qing left.

He Qing is truly virtuous; she has not uttered a single complaint to me.

Sigh, how to put it, I also have my own responsibility.

Her resentment toward Li Ming seems abundant and long‑standing.

Li Ming has always lived in self‑righteousness.

I really want to tell Li Ming about He Qing's true attitude toward him.

Therefore, sometimes people must not go too far; excess will provoke Heaven's anger and human resentment.

When Xiao Long's health recovers, I'll discuss these matters with Qian Niang.

Now I'm blocking the news as much as possible.

Because I fear Qian Niang can't bear it.

Xiao Shitou, Ding Li, Li Jia and the others have all come in,

I said to them: "Ding Li, Xiao Shitou, Li Jia, regarding what's happening now, I need you to keep it secret,

temporarily do not let it reach Niushiling, my Qian Niang's ears.

Because Xiao Long has not yet escaped danger.

I intend to wait until Xiao Long recovers, then tell Qian Niang about this.

Li Jia also nodded in unison.

"Brother, you're too exhausted today; we won't bother you any more. Whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you," Ding Li said.

"Dad, you rest; I'll attend to you," Xiao Shitou said.

"Mr. Zhao, I can also look after you," Li Jia said.

"Alright, you all go back; I only need a day or two of rest. Xiao Shitou, Li Jia, hurry back to the Xue County project department. Ding Li, you return to Qi He Kuang."

I'll rest two more days in the Provincial Capital; once Xiao Long passes the danger period, I'll return to Zaocheng.

"We'll discuss everything in detail once we reach Zaocheng," I said, refusing their staying to care for me.

Ding Li, Xiao Shitou, and Li Jia all gradually returned to Zaocheng.

I have been staying in the Provincial Capital, waiting for news of Xiao Long's recovery.
