In short, whatever the outcome, it's better than sitting here and waiting to die.

Once Shu Ying had a plan in mind, she immediately felt less agitated.

She still needed to hurry up and go see Li Qingqing. In her previous life, Li Qingqing had never mentioned Xie Zhiyan and Duan Huaichuan in any of her letters.

But the two of them had agreed that whoever had news about them would tell the other immediately.

However, their correspondence did not last long, so Li Qingqing was definitely just as unaware as she was, and even less aware that if the two of them were still alive, they would most likely have gone to the military region in Beijing.

Shu Ying suppressed her excitement, glanced at the two little ones who were still fast asleep, and instantly came up with a new plan.

As long as Li Qingqing doesn't escape this sea of ​​suffering, she will never be able to live a carefree and happy life.

The best way is to ensure that the Li family's reach can never extend to her.

The capital is hundreds of kilometers away from here. Sometimes, even if the Li family had long arms, they couldn't catch anyone due to the vast distance.

She was determined to take both children to find Xie Zhiyan, so she might as well bring Li Qingqing along.

Regardless of what happens to Duan Huaichuan, her life must go on.

Even if Duan Huaichuan proves unreliable by then, it won't matter much. At worst, they can find jobs after arriving in the capital. The supplies and money in the space are Shu Ying's biggest source of confidence.

If Duan Huaichuan is truly ungrateful, then at worst, she'll have to support Li Qingqing.

They are both able-bodied; they can't possibly starve to death on the streets of the capital.

Shu Ying made up her mind, took a sip of the spiritual spring water, and her originally very tired body instantly felt much more relaxed.

Shu Ying could still see the road below the mountain clearly. She went down the mountain in one breath and immediately took a bus to the Li family's house.

Li Qingqing lives in a tenement building in the old town. The tenement building is crowded and the living conditions are not very good, but compared to the countryside, people still desperately want to live there.

Shu Ying didn't dare to go directly to the Li family. Li Dacheng and his wife were snobbish by nature. When they found out she was from the Shu family, they tried their best to get Li Qingqing to curry favor with her.

Things are different now. If they find out she's here, they might report her. Not only will she not be able to see Li Qingqing then, but it could also affect her future plans.

Just as Shu Ying was thinking about how to find Li Qingqing, she saw someone walking towards her.

The person Shu Ying recognized was Sister Zhang, a neighbor of the Li family.

She quickly went over, "Sister Zhang, I came here to see Qingqing, she..."

"Yingying, you've come at just the right time. I was just wondering how to get in touch with you. Please go to the hospital to see Qingqing. I really can't leave because I have my grandson with me."

Sister Zhang looked anxious. When Shu Ying heard that Li Qingqing was in the hospital, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. She held Sister Zhang's hand tightly and asked her carefully.

"Sister Zhang, what's Qingqing's condition now? Why did she suddenly go to the hospital? She was perfectly fine when we last met."

Could it be that Qingqing's illness has also progressed earlier because of her rebirth?

However, in her previous life, Shu Ying tried her best but still couldn't find out what illness Li Qingqing had.

She felt a sense of unease, as if she had missed some very important information.

Sister Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead and said breathlessly, "I saw her water break this morning. I guess the baby is going to be born early, but it's not her due date yet. I don't know what's going on. There's no one there to take care of her at the hospital. Her parents have always been unreliable. They didn't care about her at all after she went to the hospital. I don't know what sins Qingqing committed in her past life to have such parents in this life."

"I was planning to come see you this morning, but I didn't know your current situation. Is it convenient for you to come over?"

Sister Zhang looked at Shu Ying, her mind a complete blank, clearly still somewhat incredulous.

Sister Zhang continued, "I don't know which deity we offended, but several families in the tenement building have had premature births recently. Qingqing was still two months away from giving birth, and people say that seven months is a good time and eight months is not. Fortunately, Xiao Wang downstairs was fine this morning, but seeing that her condition was really bad, he hurriedly borrowed a bicycle and took her to the hospital. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened."

Sister Zhang speaks very quickly, and Shu Ying received a lot of information at once, so she stood there stiffly with her back a little stiff.

It had only been a few months since they last met. Li Qingqing had been working away from home and hadn't returned for some time, but she had never mentioned when she was pregnant.

“I told you a long time ago to let her find a husband soon, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened. She’s gotten herself into a bad relationship and found someone on her own, supposedly a military officer. But it’s been so long and she hasn’t sent a single penny back.”

Upstairs, Li Dacheng's cursing voice could be heard.

Li Hong reluctantly washed the pots and pans in her hands. "How was I supposed to know that so many things would happen? If I had known that this brat would be so ambitious, I should have drowned her in the river when she was born. At that time, I was thinking that the butcher could afford 32 yuan, so raising the price by 3 yuan wouldn't be a big deal. Who knew he would refuse?"

Now, thinking about it, Li Hong is filled with deep regret.

“Look at your good daughter. She’s worth at least 32 yuan. I think you’re just too greedy. You’re useless. You can’t earn any money with this big belly. Now you’re in the hospital and have to pay for your medical expenses. Your son’s marriage is still not settled. You’d better figure out a way yourself.”
