Chapter 139 Song Zhaodi hesitates whether or not to go see Xie Zhiyan

Song Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Since it's something that's already in the past, there's no need to bring it up again.

She had heard her teacher talk about Xianglin's wife in school, and she didn't want to keep rambling on about her misfortunes.

"People always have to look forward."

Shu Ying nodded and glanced at Li Qingqing beside her.

She worked quickly and finished knitting the collar in no time. The collar was even decorated with red flowers, making it even prettier than the clothes sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Sister Song, as long as you can think positively, there's nothing you can't get through. You're so capable and can endure hardship; you're many times better than me. Bosses would be very happy to have a worker like you."

This was the first time Song Zhaodi had taken the initiative to bring up her past with them.

Although Shu Ying had some guesses about what happened in the past, it was, after all, someone else's scar, and she didn't want to ask such impolite questions.

The fact that Song Zhaodi is willing to say these things today shows that she genuinely wants to let go of her resentment.

People feel tired when they carry too much on their shoulders.

Carrying heavy burdens can be stressful, so why not let go of some things and support each other? Who knows, we might be able to go even further together.

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Yes, I'm so capable, how could I not be able to support myself?"

Why can't she give herself a home?

"Qingqing, I just heard that your husband has woken up. Do you want me to prepare any meals for dinner? Patients who have just woken up are very particular about what they eat. Did the doctor give any instructions, or do you see if he has any dietary restrictions?"

These days, Song Zhaodi is busy in the kitchen every day, researching how to make the patients and children eat more nutritious food. She is almost becoming a semi-professional nutritionist.

Tuantuan would sleep for a while and then wake up again. When the little guy opened his eyes, his dark pupils reflected Li Qingqing's image.

Li Qingqing put down her crochet hook and yarn, carefully picked up the child, and patiently coaxed him in her arms.

"Sister Song, don't worry about him. He's thick-skinned and eats the same things. Besides, he doesn't necessarily only eat our food. The food in the hospital cafeteria is pretty good. There's no need to go to the trouble of making a special meal for him."

Song Zhaodi has already worked hard enough. At home, she has to take care of three children, prepare meals for the whole family, and also look after patients in the hospital.

In the past, these chores would have required at least two people, but she managed to keep the house in perfect order all by herself.

Seeing that Shu Ying and Li Qingqing had no intention of visiting them, Song Zhaodi understood and said nothing more.

She mustered up the courage to run away from the mountains, which was the best decision she ever made.

She used to feel like she had accomplished nothing and couldn't do anything right. Her family didn't like her, and neither did her in-laws. She ran away from there to find a way out.

Secondly, she even thought that if there was really no way to survive, dying outside would be better than dying in that place.

But unexpectedly, God took pity on her and let her meet Shu Ying and Li Qingqing.

After getting to know the two of them, she realized that the most important thing for a woman is to be independent. If she only revolves around one person, life really becomes meaningless.

In the afternoon, when they had some free time, the two children were having a great time playing on the playground. Shuying has recently learned to do housework, but she's not very fast at it.

Song Zhaodi was busy preparing to go to Li Qingqing's place to tidy up the house first. After a brief discussion, the adults took basins and rags and went to the front yard.

“Although this area is a bit small, it’s more than enough for your family of three. When you clear the land, you can plant some fruits and vegetables or some flowers, which would be great.”

Song Zhaodi came from the countryside, and seeing such a nice yard awakened her inner vegetable grower.

Although there are basically no expenses here, and the vegetables don't cost much, even things given away for free are not as reassuring as food grown by oneself.

Li Qingqing felt a long-lost warmth in her heart; finally, there was a place that could accommodate her and her child.

"This is my first time here too. I didn't expect it to be so well-equipped. It's actually quite decent. We just need to clean up the dust in the room."

After finishing her milk, Tuantuan fell asleep again. The little guy slept like a pig and didn't even realize that they had been moved to a different room.

Shu Ying wet the rag in her hand and wiped the back of the sofa, quickly making the wooden sofa shiny.

Thanks to the hard work of the three women, the house, which was originally a bit dusty, was instantly transformed.

Shu Ying had never worked for such a long time before. She shook her slightly sore arms and looked towards the largest bedroom facing the sun.

"This room is quite spacious; I'll put the things I give you here."

She could already imagine the various beautiful little clothes that Li Qingqing would make with her sewing machine, and wear them on the children and herself.

That was so heartwarming.

The group was tired but happy. Song Zhaodi cleaned the kitchen again: "From now on, I'll be running back and forth between the two places. Luckily, your two families aren't too far apart. I'll treat it as exercise every day."

Shu Ying and Li Qingqing both paid her a salary. She felt more at ease knowing that each of them was taking care of her. Otherwise, she would always feel uneasy taking money from both of them.

After tidying up the yard inside and out, Shu Ying opened the windows in the house.

"Duan Huaichuan is still in the hospital, so let the house air out first. Otherwise, you and your son should go back to the hospital tonight. The room is empty anyway."

The group of people had been together all along, and now that the families were suddenly going to live separately, Shuying felt a little reluctant to part ways.

Li Qingqing locked the door to the room: "Let's go."

As evening approached, Shu Ying prepared some things that Li Qingqing needed for her room before remembering that she still needed to visit Xie Zhiyan at the hospital.

Li Qingqing specially picked out some good fruit: "Let me go with you. We'll see each other sooner or later. You've helped me so much, and I haven't visited him yet. Today is a good opportunity."

Song Zhaodi noticed that no one mentioned Duan Huaichuan. Although she was surprised, she didn't ask any questions. However, she was a little conflicted about whether she should go with them to visit Xie Zhiyan.

She shouldn't go; after all, they are the host family, and she has stayed there for so many days for free, receiving so much kindness from Shu Ying.

But if he went, his relationship with Shu Ying and Li Qingqing would only be that of employer and employee, not family.

It was a bit presumptuous of her to say she wanted to go without being asked.
