Chapter 211 I'll go ask
The group returned to the corridor, and the eldest son of the Qian family took out an old cloth bag from the belt around his waist and took out money from it.
"Director Lu, how much money did you pay in advance? I'll pay you back."
Everyone could see that the small cloth bag contained all of Village Chief Qian's belongings.
Presumably, upon hearing that the head of the family was in trouble, Village Chief Qian's wife quickly gave this to her son, fearing that it might delay his rescue.
Lu Congyue sighed: "Forget it, you don't need to pay back the money. You can pay for your own hospitalization and medical expenses afterwards."
"How can this be? My father said..."
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay!" Lu Congyue interrupted him in a deep voice, his cold face making the three Qian family sons dare not utter another word.
Zhuang Qingxiang stood outside the crowd, looking dazed.
Village Chief Qian knows! He knows everything!
Does he know what kind of person Cheng Lin's biological father really is?
Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't help but lift her foot and walk towards the ward.
Lu Congyue caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and hurriedly called out, "Zhuang Qingxiang!"
Zhuang Qingxiang stopped in her tracks and looked at her with a frown.
"Village Chief Qian needs to rest. If you're worried, we'll come visit him again tomorrow." Lu Congyue sensed that something was wrong with her and said in a low voice, pushing through the crowd to her side.
Zhuang Qingxiang bit her lip and remained silent.
Lu Congyue said in a low voice, "Village Chief Qian can't get angry or emotional anymore, otherwise if he falls into a coma again, he might not wake up. Do you want to see that happen to him?"
Zhuang Qingxiang's fingers trembled slightly as she lowered her head and said, "Then let's hurry back, Yueyue, she..."
"Okay, let's go back," Lu Congyue replied in a deep voice.
The six people squeezed into the jeep and headed back, with Zhuang Qingxiang sitting in the passenger seat looking preoccupied.
The second and third sons of the Qian family were so excited that they felt like they had needles stuck in their butts, and they couldn't sit still. They found everything fascinating.
They actually rode in a car! They'll be bragging about that for three years when they get back to the village!
Suddenly, the fact that my father was suddenly sick and hospitalized didn't seem so worrying anymore.
Upon arriving at the factory gate, the second and third sons of the Qian family expressed their gratitude before returning to the village to report the news.
After they left, Niu Jianzhong asked, "Director Lu, are we really going to release that woman surnamed Huang?"
"Of course we should release her. Didn't Village Chief Qian say it has nothing to do with her?" Zhuang Qingxiang said hurriedly.
"But Village Chief Qian's coma is indeed related to her. What if he changes his mind in a couple of days?" Niu Jianzhong countered. "Where will we go to find him then?"
"But Village Chief Qian clearly said he wouldn't go back on his word!"
Seeing that Zhuang Qingxiang was anxious, Lu Congyue said, "Where is she locked up? I'll go talk to her."
"He's in the small room behind the security office. I'll take you there," Niu Jianzhong said hurriedly.
Zhuang Qingxiang also wanted to go, but Lu Congyue stopped her and told her to go home and take care of her child.
We've already wasted a day; we can't expect Sun Yongxian to take care of the children as well.
Zhuang Qingxiang pursed her lips: "Then she..."
"I know what I'm doing," Lu Congyue said softly. "She's Yueyue's biological mother. I need to know what kind of person she is before I feel comfortable letting Yueyue see her."
Zhuang Qingxiang felt uneasy, fearing that Huang Cuilan would reveal everything.
She couldn't imagine how Lu Congyue and Niu Jianzhong would look at her if they knew about those dirty deeds.
"I...I want to go and comfort her first," Zhuang Qingxiang whispered. "She must be terrified right now; I'm the only person she knows here..."
"No need," Lu Congyue said in a deep voice. "What's the point of comforting someone like that? Leave this to me, don't worry!"
Unable to persuade Lu Congyue, Zhuang Qingxiang was filled with anxiety and confusion as she left, so much so that she didn't notice Lu Congyue's increasingly furrowed brows, nor did she notice the doubt in his eyes.
Zhuang Qingxiang and Shi Peiran returned home together, which freed Sun Yongxian.
Seeing her distressed expression, Zhuang Qingxiang quickly expressed her gratitude and told them to go back and rest.
Sun Yongxian was eager to hear the gossip, so she quickly pulled Shi Peiran away and asked him what exactly happened today.
After seeing the young couple off, Zhuang Qingxiang absentmindedly cooked for the child, while Xiao Qianyue also seemed preoccupied.
While feeding the two younger children, Xiao Qianyue finally spoke cautiously, "Mom, maybe I should go with her."
"Hmm... Ah? What?" Zhuang Qingxiang suddenly snapped back to reality.
Little Qian Yue's eyes were red: "Mother, she's right. She's my own mother, and I should go with her."
She looked dejected, like a puppy that had been abandoned.
"What? Don't you want your mother and brother anymore?" Zhuang Qingxiang immediately frowned and asked with a wronged expression, "Yueyue, I know that no matter what I do, I can't compare to your own mother in your heart. I... just feel wronged."
Little Qian Yue was terrified: "No, no, Mother, don't cry. Mother is the most important person in Yueyue's heart, really."
Zhuang Qingxiang continued, feeling wronged: "So you don't want me anymore and are going to leave with your own mother. My heart is broken."
Zhuang Qingxiang wiped away her tears with a wronged expression, as if she were wiping away tears.
"No, I don't want my mother!" The little girl was so anxious she could barely speak. "I want my mother, I want her!"
"Really? Then you're not leaving?"
"But...but..." Xiao Qianyue's eyes reddened with anxiety, "I'm her biological daughter, I...I'm an outsider..."
Zhuang Qingxiang realized that while she was away from home for half a day, the little girl had been overthinking a lot.
It was Huang Cuilan's words that influenced her.
Zhuang Qingxiang stopped feeding the baby and reached out to hug the little girl, saying earnestly, "Yueyue, listen to your mother, you are not an outsider. As long as your mother is here, you are my most precious daughter. No one can surpass you, not even your younger brother!"
Little Qian Yue was stunned: "Mother...really? But, but Cheng Lin is the one you gave birth to."
"So what? You raised Chenglin, didn't you?" Zhuang Qingxiang said with a smile. "Yueyue is good at housework, takes care of her younger brother, and is good to her mother. She can help her mother with everything. Yueyue is the treasure that God gave to her mother."
Zhuang Qingxiang hugged the little girl and kissed her left and right, saying a lot of nice things. Only then did the little girl calm down and say with a smile that she would follow her mother for the rest of her life.
Zhuang Qingxiang didn't feel guilty at all about coaxing the child away from her mother. She would only feel guilty if she really left Xiao Qianyue with Huang Cuilan.
While Zhuang Qingxiang was comforting the child, Lu Congyue observed Huang Cuilan from inside the small house.
She has a bit of a resemblance to Qian Yue, oh no, the little girl does look a little like her.
But she clearly lives in poor conditions, probably not even having enough to eat. How could she possibly want to take the child back with her?
Even if she genuinely wanted to take the child back, he wouldn't agree to let such a well-behaved little girl go back and suffer.
Moreover, this woman's character is questionable.
Huang Cuilan trembled.
She didn't recognize the man in front of her, but his gaze was like a knife, incredibly sharp, and his aura was unlike that of ordinary people; even their brigade secretary couldn't compare to him.
The fact that the man just silently stared at her without saying a word terrified her so much that she almost wet herself.
Finally, Huang Cuilan couldn't take it anymore.
