Chapter 35: Chapter 35: So It Was for Her

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Qian was fuming as she entered the courtyard, only to be met with her mother’s deafening wails.

Before Xiao Qian had a chance to steady herself, her mother lunged at her and enveloped her in a tight bear hug, sobbing through her snotty tears so loudly that it hurt Xiao Qian’s ears.

“Ni Jianren has a contagious disease, the wedding is off… Wuu wuu, my poor daughter, don’t worry, Mom will find you someone better, just don’t get upset, you mustn’t get upset!”

Xiao Qian felt that she wasn’t upset before, but her mother’s exaggerated manner had almost triggered her.

“Has the bitch arrived?”

“Wuu wuu!” Jia Xiufang wailed, her crying making Xiao Qian’s ears hurt. Xiao Qian pushed her away slightly and looked at Chen Lin, who was sitting on a chair in silence, smoking.

This outrageous old man was upset that if Ni Jianren didn’t come over, he would be receiving the betrothal gifts next week, and their sudden act would mean a significant loss of income.

“Their family is way out of line; why didn’t they mention his illness earlier? Hepatitis B, Qian’er, you’ve dined with him before. Go to the hospital with mom tomorrow and get some tests done?” Jia Xiufang feared her daughter would catch the disease too.

Xiao Qian knew the disease was just an excuse and hepatitis B was not spread through food, but the mention of the hospital triggered an idea.

“Okay, we’ll go tomorrow, and you’ll come with me.”

Her mother’s breast cancer had been diagnosed ten years too late in her past life. An early check-up and treatment now could prevent it from becoming malignant later on.

“Going to the hospital will cost money. Why not just buy some fatty meat and see if Qian’er can stomach it? If she can, she’ll be fine. Hepatitis patients can’t handle fatty food…”

Chen Lin was worried about the money.

Jia Xiufang became enraged, stood up, and pushed him, “Are you even her father? You found her such a man, and he’s even sick! What will she do for the rest of her life if she marries him!”

“It’s not as serious as you make it out to be! Our neighbor Auntie Li also has hepatitis, and she’s been married to Old Li for a lifetime. It’s not like this disease is fatal, Qian’er marrying him would be…”

“How dare you say that! Chen Lin, how could you let your daughter marry someone with a contagious disease? If you dare to harm your daughter like this, I’ll kill myself! 1 don’t want to live anymore!”

Jia Xiufang usually depended on Chen Lin for everything, big or small. But today, being genuinely anxious, she had the courage to challenge him.

“You shrew, what are you babbling about, die! If you have the guts, just die! Die now!” Chen Lin had been burdened by guilt all day after being caught cheating, and now that the betrothal gifts had fallen through, his anger flared. He raised his hand, intending to strike Jia Xiufang as he usually did.

Xiao Qian witnessed this and pulled her mother behind her, then addressed Chen Lin without any hesitation.

“Have you caused enough trouble? Wasn’t yesterday enough?!”

Chen Lin raised his hand but, upon seeing Xiao Qian’s icy gaze, was intimidated by her aura and lowered his arm. He cursed and continued squatting down, smoking.

Xiao Qian noticed Chen Lin’s worried expression and, adjusting her glasses, pondered in her heart.

Of course, she knew that Chen Lin’s concern was not for her future. From what he’d just said, it seemed he still wanted her to marry the scoundrel, even though he already claimed to be “sick.” Could it be that Chen Lin had gotten himself into some trouble now and needed money to settle it?

Xiao Qian dragged her mother into the inner room, and tears and snot streamed from Jia Xiufang’s face as she cried.

“Stop crying, Mom. Think about how much money is left in our bankbook?” 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Xiao Qian recalled that in her past life, after receiving the betrothal gifts, Chen Lin had allegedly used the money to invest in a friend’s business, claiming he would buy shares in his friend’s long-distance trucking venture. However, a few months later, he returned with a photo of a wrecked truck, stating that there had been an accident and all the money had been lost.

But considering Chen Lin’s current behavior, Xiao Qian figured that he must have lied in her past life and was short of cash right now.

Upon hearing Xiao Qian’s question about the money, Jia Xiufang wiped her tears and took a moment to think.

“I withdrew 500 yuan last month. Didn’t your grandma need cataract surgery? All our relatives pitched in, and after the withdrawal, there should be less than 20,000 yuan left. We spent a lot building this two-story house and doing business, and we’ve owed a lot of money over the years.”

“Find the passbook later and see how much is left.”

“Why are you suddenly concerned about money?”

Xiao Qian decided to tell Jia Xiufang about her university acceptance. Just as she was about to show her the Admission Notice, someone outside shouted.

“Is this Chen Lin’s house? We’re from the White Swan Electrical Appliance Store. We’re here to deliver a fan!”

Jia Xiufang hastily wiped her tears and called out before stepping outside.

Xiao Qian followed her outside and saw the electrical store workers bringing in several large and small packages.

“What’s going on? We only bought a fan for our house, right?” Jia Xiufang was puzzled while Chen Lin glared at her. How could she make a fuss about such good fortune? Just take it quietly!

“Our boss is holding a promotion. When your daughter bought the fan, she became our store’s 100th customer and won a prize. These are all gifts from our store.” The worker recited the lines that Chen Lin had arranged with the boss in advance.

Jia Xiufang looked over the items and saw pots, quilts, kettles, and snacks. It was a lot…

“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?” She had never seen such good customer service; all these gifts came with just a fan purchase!

Chen Lin saw his wife’s confusion and pushed Jia Xiufang aside. “Don’t talk nonsense. How could they possibly make a mistake? You guys still need to deliver to other customers, right? Hurry up; don’t delay them.” freewebno vel.com

The delivery workers were practically pushed out of the yard by Chen Lin, who then double-locked the door in no time, fearing they’d return to take the items back.

“Hurry up and move everything inside!” Chen Lin instructed.

Xiao Qian looked at the pile of gifts, especially the hellokitty-patterned quilt, which seemed so familiar…

“The boss must have made a mistake. The fan isn’t that expensive, but this quilt isn’t cheap either. Look at this brand; what if they made a mistake and the worker gets punished?” Jia Xiufang flipped through the items and saw they were all meant for young ladies.

“Anyway, it’s not our loss, and once it’s in our house, we’re not giving it back. Hurry up, move everything inside!” Chen Lin cheered up when he saw free goodies coming their way.

“Move everything into my room. It’s perfect for me to use.” Xiao Qian finally understood where these things came from.

She also remembered something Yu Minglang had said before.

He mentioned that if she couldn’t find him, she could look for Brother Zhao, who was his friend. The owner of the electrical store was Hai Zhao, the very Brother Zhao Ming Lang mentioned. Perhaps, Ming Lang had seen her in the electrical store and then arranged this surprise.

Well, she decided to take back her curse, wishing Ming Lang a lifetime of infertility. The bedding was actually meant for her….
