Chapter 87 Her husband didn't like her, and he disliked her children even more.
Reading Settings
In Duan Huaichuan's heart, Zhong Yun'er was always a passionate red rose, while Li Qingqing, who had become his wife, had become a huge joke.
He was blind to her pain, indifferent to her dignity, and oblivious to her passion.
If such a man truly sacrifices himself for the country, it's already a favor to him; at least he'll be remembered as a hero after his death.
Shu Ying raised her head and looked at the distant sky. She had already arrived in the capital, but why was it so different from what she had imagined?
How exactly do I achieve a fulfilling and satisfying life?
Before having children, she always felt that life should be full of ups and downs, but now she just wants it to be peaceful, preferably something she can see the end of in the future, so that she doesn't have to live in fear.

At the hospital, Li Qingqing gently coaxed the child. The doctor gave Duan Huaichuan a full examination, and the doctor's furrowed brows finally eased a little.
"As of now, all of his indicators are normal after the surgery, so his family doesn't need to worry too much. He should wake up within two days."
With the doctor's words, Li Qingqing finally felt relieved.
She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, doctor, you've worked so hard."
The doctor put away the medical record book, a hint of joy appearing on his face. As a doctor, saving lives is his duty.
"What the patient needs most right now is rest. We can call a doctor to come and examine him again after he wakes up. Although he will wake up soon, his injuries are serious, and he needs to be observed in the hospital for a longer period of time. Most patients want to be discharged as soon as possible, and the family should try to persuade them to stay."
Doctors in military hospitals know soldiers all too well, perhaps because their physical fitness is indeed outstanding, or perhaps because of the special nature of their work.
Every single patient who woke up from a coma insisted on returning to work immediately.
These special patients are more difficult to treat than ordinary patients.
Li Qingqing responded softly, "Okay, I understand."
After giving Duan Huaichuan a nutritional boost, the doctor finally left. Knowing that his condition had stabilized, Li Qingqing sat down beside the hospital bed with her child in her arms.
She took a breath: "I really didn't expect that we would meet like this."
Her voice was a little hoarse, and she felt completely unfamiliar with the person in front of her.
Half a month after Duan Huaichuan left, she discovered she was pregnant. Nine months have passed since the child was born, and they have had no correspondence or communication whatsoever.
They were more like strangers who met by chance than a married couple.
Looking at that face, Li Qingqing thought about many things, but finally calmed down and decided to take the child back first.
Tuantuan is still young and needs to avoid the hospital. Duan Huaichuan has someone to take care of him at the hospital at all times, so she can just rest at home with the child at night. There's no need for her to be so tired.
Tuan Tuan seemed to sense something and suddenly burst into tears. Li Qingqing could only stand up and carry him around.
"Tuantuan, be good. We came to see Daddy today. When Daddy wakes up, he will definitely love our Tuantuan."
Actually, Li Qingqing wasn't confident when she said those words.
If Duan Huaichuan doesn't like her, why would he like the child she gave birth to?
Even at their wedding, when he was drunk, he kept calling out Zhong Yun'er's name.
She kept numbing herself, thinking that as long as she got out of that hellhole, what did it matter who her husband had in his heart?
But things got increasingly out of control, and after seeing Duan Huaichuan's gentle side, she couldn't help but feel lonely.
She could not become Zhong Yun'er, nor could she become the person he loved.
Who knows, Duan Huaichuan might not want to see her the moment he opens his eyes.
Unfortunately, Zhong Yun'er is probably still at the police station, and he won't see her when he wakes up.

On the way back, the two children were eager to try.
Yangyang is very smart; he can remember the path he has walked once.
He held Shuying's fingers in his chubby little hand: "Mommy, can my sister and I go to the hospital by ourselves tomorrow? Uncle Wang seems very busy, we can't keep bothering him."
Shu Ying led them slowly forward, the streetlights shining on them, their three small shadows huddled together.
"If you know the way, there won't be any problem. Although the chances of encountering child traffickers here are almost zero, there might be other children. You two shouldn't get into any arguments with them. Of course, if anyone bullies you, don't be afraid. Mom will stand up for you, okay?"
Yangyang skipped and hopped along, stepping on his own shadow: "Mom, you've told us this so many times already. We won't fight with anyone, and no one will bully us. Don't worry."
Yueyue patted her slender little arms: "Uncle Wang said that when he has time, he will teach my brother and me boxing, so that we can protect ourselves if anyone bullies us."
Shu Ying was amused by her cute appearance, while Yangyang diligently memorized the way to the hospital.
"When you come out of the gate, turn left and walk straight until you see a small red flag. Then turn right. Walk a few hundred meters to the right and you'll see a crabapple tree. Turn into the road with the crabapple tree and walk straight to reach the hospital."
Shu Ying couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Yangyang is so amazing, even I didn't observe him so carefully."
As they approached the compound, the women who had been taking a stroll became strange after seeing Shuying's gaze.
Then, without waiting for Shu Ying to greet him, he walked away to a great distance.
"It seems to be her. That person also had two children with her, so it matches up, doesn't it?"
"What on earth happened? How could they let someone like that in? We need to stay away from them in the future, so we don't get dragged into this mess."
Some children wanted to come over and play, but were pulled back by the adults in their families.
The group whispered among themselves. Yueyue looked up at Shuying and asked, "Mommy, what's wrong with these aunties? They don't seem to like us. Did we do something wrong?"
Shu Ying frowned, feeling puzzled, but quickly replied, "They are indeed a bit strange, but it's not necessarily our fault. Let's go home first, and we'll have time to figure out the rest."
Yueyue nodded as if she understood but not quite.
When Shu Ying brought her two children home, Song Zhaodi had already been waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing her return from afar, a smile finally appeared on her worried face.
"Yingying, you're finally back. A little girl just brought over a big bucket of food. She said her name was something like Ye, but I didn't remember her name. She was a very energetic girl. She told us to eat as much as we wanted and to just let her know if we needed anything in the future."
Shu Ying frowned slightly. She didn't know many people with the surname Ye. Since it was a young girl, could it be Ye Zhanying?
