Deng Juan was a little confused, but she still nodded hard, “You, tell me…” “When you weren’t home, Fang Xinyi’s grandparents accepted 5000 yuan from an old bachelor in Xu Village and sold Fang Xinyi to him as his wife.” Ji Yuanyuan whispered. “On the first day of school, I felt something was wrong, so 1 went to your house. After hearing about this from the neighbors, we chased after Xu Village. Fortunately, we didn’t arrive too late and managed to save Fang Xinyi in time.”
“What?” Deng Juan’s voice was a little sharp, and even Zhang Kun, who was driving, was shocked.
The hand holding the steering wheel trembled, and the car trembled as well.
After the steering wheel turned back, Zhang Kun was so scared that he let out a long sigh of relief.
“Big Sister, you scared me to death.” Zhang Kun said helplessly.
Deng Juan couldn’t care less. Her face was filled with shock as she muttered to herself, “It must be that old woman’s idea. When Xinyi’s father was still around, she tried everything she could to ruin us. Now that her father is gone, she can even do such a despicable thing. Isn’t she afraid her son will come looking for her in the middle of the night?”
As she spoke, her hands were shaking, and so was her voice.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have left Xinyi alone at home.” Deng Juan grabbed her hair and said regretfully.
However, she had no choice. If she stayed in the village, the mother and daughter would not even be able to eat, let alone go to school.
Ever since Xinyi’s father passed away, the old lady snatched the land back. How could they live without a source of income?
She had no choice but to come out to work. However, she was uncultured and weak. No one wanted her anywhere. Even if she did, the salary was very low and she could not save money at all. She could only do that kind of work.
She lived in a shabby house with several people sharing a room. The people living there were all doing that kind of work. How could she dare to bring Xinyi here?
She had originally wanted to save up money, but now…
She had been caught and her den had been taken out. She could not take risks in the future.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly comforted, “Don’t worry, Fang Xinyi didn’t suffer any losses. We arrived just in time.”
Deng Juan raised her head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan anxiously, “Thank you so much. 1 don’t even know how to repay you. You’ve saved Xinyi’s life…”
“Auntie, you don’t have to thank me. Xinyi, she… I didn’t take good care of Xinyi. She’s in the hospital now!”
Deng Juan’s mood was really fluctuating.
The sigh of relief that he had just let go was now raised again, “What is it? Hospital?”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly explained, “She took a knife for Yang Jingyi. The operation was completed yesterday. The doctor said that she is no longer in danger. She will be fine as long as she recuperates.”
Deng Juan suddenly burst into tears, “Why is our Xinyi’s life so bitter…”
Ji Yuanyuan also knew Deng Juan was upset. She took a tissue from the side and handed it to Deng Juan.
The car suddenly became silent. When they reached the entrance of the hospital, Ji Yuanyuan got out of the car with Deng Juan while Zhang Kun went to find a parking space.
Under Deng Juan’s urging, Ji Yuanyuan brought Deng Juan all the way to Fang Xinyi’s ward.
Hu Chunli was in the ward with Yang Jingyi.
Hu Chunli sat on the bed by the window and smiled at the two children.
Yang Jingyi was standing in front of Fang Xinyi’s bed with a box of washed strawberries in her hand, feeding Fang Xinyi.
“Xinyi…” Deng Juan pushed open the door and sobbed.
Fang Xinyi, who was still smiling, turned around and saw Deng Juan. Her eyes turned red.
Deng Juan quickly stepped forward and sized up Fang Xinyi, “How is it? Does your wound still hurt? You silly child. Why are you so silly?”
Fang Xinyi sobbed as she consoled her, “Mom, I’m fine. I’m not in pain at all. 1 haven’t been able to contact you for the past few days. Where have you been?”
Yang Jingyi stood awkwardly at the side. She didn’t know whether to stuff the strawberry in her hand into Fang Xinyi’s mouth or put it back into the box.
Hu Chunli saw this and knew that the mother and daughter had not seen each other for a long time. They must have a lot to talk about.
She quickly stepped forward, took Yang Jingyi’s hand, and led her out.
The door of the ward closed, giving space to the mother and daughter.
Soon, the sound of mother and daughter hugging each other and crying could be heard from the ward.
Hu Chunli brought Yang Jingyi and Ji Yuanyuan to sit on a bench nearby.
“Mom, if Fang Xinyi’s mom scolds me later, don’t be angry.” Yang Jingyi suddenly said.
“Why would you think that?” Hu Chunli asked, amused.
“She’s Xinyi’s mother,” Yang Jingyi whispered. “She must be heartbroken that Xinyi is injured. Xinyi was injured because of me. She might blame me…”
If scolding her would make Xinyi’s mother feel better, she was willing to take it.
Hu Chunli looked at her daughter with relief and reached out to touch her hair.
She did not know when it started, but her daughter seemed to be becoming more and more sensible.
“Don’t worry, even if Fang Xinyi’s mother hits you, 1 won’t stop her.”
Fang Xinyi had saved Jing Yi’s life.
If it wasn’t for Fang Xinyi, Jingyi might have already…
For hemophiliacs, even a small wound could be fatal.
Moreover, it was such a deep wound.
As long as Jingyi was alive, it was more important than anything else.
The child had been stabbed for no reason. Even if he wanted to be beaten or scolded, it was only right.
Yang Jingyi leaned on Hu Chunli and whispered, “Xinyi… It must be very painful, right?”
How could such a big wound on his body not hurt in the future?
However, when she asked Xinyi about it, Xinyi said it did not hurt at all.
“You have to treat Xinyi better, okay?” Hu Chunli comforted her softly.
“Got it.” Yang Jingyi nodded hard.
Ji Yuanyuan sat obediently at the side, waiting for Deng Juan and Fang Xinyi to finish their conversation.
About ten minutes later, the door to the ward was opened.
Deng Juan appeared at the door of the ward.
She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and suddenly knelt down.
Ji Yuanyuan felt a headache coming on. What was wrong with Deng Juan? Why did she always like to kneel?
She hurried forward and was about to help Deng Juan up, “Auntie, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up! Let’s talk things out.”
Deng Juan held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand but did not get up. She only said, “Thank you. Thank you to your family. Xinyi told me that if it weren’t for you, her life would have been ruined..”
