Chapter 263 A Mother Must Live for Her Child

However, what Zhong Yun'er did was immoral. She will be sent back in a month at most. If she wants to stay here, she can only marry someone else.

Everyone could see that Zhong Yun'er was desperately trying to stay here, but if Duan Huaichuan didn't take the bait, she would definitely set her sights on someone else's husband.

Tian Danfeng rolled her eyes as she stood at her doorway. "She's already a mother, and she doesn't even think about her child. Is this kind of thing even honorable? She has such beautiful eyes, but it's a pity that she only stares at other people's men all day long. If it were my husband, he would turn the coffin upside down even if he were dead."

Sister Wang grabbed a handful of Zhong Yun'er's hands, her face full of malice. She said sarcastically, "There are all sorts of birds in a big forest. You'd better keep an eye on your own man. Who knows when another childhood sweetheart will pop up from the countryside, and then the original wife will become the mistress. Who can we honest people reason with in such a situation?"

Seeing everyone pointing and whispering, Zhong Yun'er's face flushed red and then turned pale. She shook her head, wanting to explain, but couldn't utter a single word.

She hadn't expected Li Qingqing to make such a big fuss about this. And to make matters worse, these people were all busybodies. If she were really accused of ruining a military marriage, she wouldn't be able to stay here no matter what she did.

Zhong Yun'er disregarded the child in her arms and simply put the child on the ground. She rolled up her sleeve with one hand and pointed at Li Qingqing's nose with the other. Just as she was about to start cursing, she saw Shu Ying walk over.

She went to the hospital at noon. Shi Tou's condition had just stabilized in the past two days, and he needed to receive treatment on time every day. She had a new prescription, and the acupuncture time could be shortened appropriately. She encountered this scene on her way back from the hospital.

Zhong Yun'er originally wanted to say something, but she immediately fell silent when she saw the familiar figure.

Unlike Li Qingqing, Shu Ying is capable of hitting people. She still feels lingering fear from the beating she received at the hospital.

Besides, the people here are practically family to them. If a fight really breaks out, they might even side with Shu Ying and Li Qingqing.

She won't gain anything here. She might not even be able to withstand the strength of Li Qingqing alone. Now that Shu Ying has come, she will only be the one who suffers.

"Li Qingqing, you always try to pin this on me. You're just a little luckier than me. If my husband were still alive, he wouldn't stand by and watch me be bullied like this. It's a pity that good people don't live long. If you ever end up in my situation, you might not be able to do any better than me."

She felt wronged, but dared not argue further.

She has less and less time left to stay here. If no suitable person is willing to marry her, she will have no choice but to return to Shanghai with her child.

But this child is disabled, and her parents are still in prison thanks to Shuying. It's impossible for her to work and take care of the child all by herself.

Only by staying in the military compound can her future life be secure.

Shu Ying narrowed her eyes and walked over quickly.

"You say you have a clear conscience, but if you really have such backbone, why didn't you think about your and your child's future beforehand? What? Relying on someone else's husband is your skill? Then everyone really needs to be careful, especially the women in our neighborhood. You have to be careful of fire, thieves, and people."

Zhong Yun'er was so angry that she burst into tears, but she didn't know how to refute it. She looked angrily at the child writhing on the ground, and could only angrily pick him up and slink away from the crowd.

The child looked terrified in her arms, unable to make a sound, which made it even more heartbreaking to see.

Sister Wang sighed deeply, "This child is so pitiful. He lost his father right after birth and then had such a terrible mother. Look at how small he is, so thin and skinny, like a little kitten. I don't even know if he's healthy or if he can eat properly."

Tian Danfeng gently fanned herself with a fan in her hand, "Why are all widows like this nowadays?"

Her words immediately brought to mind Lü Jie, who had already been arrested.

The matter concerning the stone had escalated to a significant level, so much so that even though the organization didn't want to pay too much attention, they had no choice but to send people from the neighborhood committee to investigate.

Although Lü Jie herself suffered from mental illness, the fact remains that her long-term abuse had affected the children's physical and mental health to varying degrees.

"So even if it's just for the sake of the child, we have to live well. No matter how hard life is, we have to keep looking forward. Otherwise, how can such a small child take care of himself?"

A child without a mother is like a blade of grass; even though Shi Tou was Xiao Xueyi's only son, he was ultimately not treated well.

With such vivid examples right in front of them, no one could bear to leave their child.

"But I haven't seen Yang Suxian go out these past two days. She even came to visit my house on the first day she arrived. I thought she was an easy-going old lady from the countryside, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless."

After cleaning up Zhong Yun'er's scabs in front of her house, Sister Wang glanced in the direction of the Shi family's house and said meaningfully, "I think people like this should just not live here. They probably can't live with themselves after what they've done. They're just a bunch of cancers here, and they might only make the atmosphere here worse."

A group of people echoed her sentiments, while Shu Ying looked at Li Qingqing with eyes full of satisfaction.

She finally had the confidence to compete with Zhong Yun'er. In the past, when the two of them met, Li Qingqing would unconsciously lower her posture.

It was a feeling of humility, even tinged with reverence.

But Zhong Yun'er is not someone to be looked up to. She is Duan Huaichuan's lawfully wedded wife. Even if they don't end up together one day, it's not Zhong Yun'er's place to be high and mighty and criticize her.

"I just saw her swaggering around here, and I thought you'd been bullied again. I didn't expect you to have improved so much this time."

Li Qingqing smiled more. Actually, she didn't think Duan Huaichuan was very important, and felt that Zhong Yun'er was nothing special.

Their relationship doesn't matter; what matters is that she and her child are happy together.
