Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 238 - 237: Qin Zhihong and Du Lan Have the Same Nightmare
"Mom, you’re letting your son and the kids go to Beijing, but you’re not going. How can we leave you alone at home and feel at ease?"
"Yes, Mom, please come with us."
"Granny, Qingqing wants to stay with Granny."
"Little Tian also wants to stay with Granny." Qin Tian and Qin Qing each held onto Granny Qin’s arms, looking up at her with eyes full of affection and reliance.
These past years, with Mom and Dad not at home, they depended on Granny for everything.
To them, Granny was extremely, extremely important, so they didn’t want to be separated from her.
The meaning of the two kids was obvious: if Granny Qin stayed at home, they would also stay with her.
Granny Qin looked at her two obedient grandchildren, stroked their heads, her eyes full of love, and finally sighed, "Alright, I’ll go with you."
I really can’t say no to you two.
For Granny Qin,
her grandkids were her weak point.
Going to Beijing was the better choice for her grandkids.
How could she delay them because of her?
Alright then, even her old bones would go see the capital.
"That’s great!" Granny’s agreement made everyone happy.
...
The last couple of days, the return of Qin Zhihong and Du Lan had the entire Qin Family Village in an uproar.
The villagers didn’t know why the couple left, and even when they asked Granny Qin before, she only simply said it was due to work.
But...
In the eyes of the villagers, what kind of work would require leaving for years without a word?
They thought maybe Qin Zhihong and Du Lan ran away.
They thought Granny Qin and the two kids, the old and the young, were burdens that were hard to care for, so they weren’t wanted.
Over the years, these rumors kept spreading.
This is also why Qin Tian said that other kids claimed his parents would never return.
This was because that’s what they heard adults at home say.
But who would’ve thought, after nine years of being away,
Qin Zhihong and Du Lan suddenly returned.
They returned in a Jeep, dressed very grandly.
They looked like they had returned in glory.
"Not only did they return in glory, I heard Granny Qin say they’re taking the whole family to Beijing; they’ll be Beijing people from then on."
"Oh my, Beijing people, that’s the capital!"
"So, just like that, they became city folk. I’m so envious."
"I heard the reason Qin Zhihong and Du Lan hadn’t come back all these years was because they were working for the country."
"So that’s the reason."
"Doesn’t that mean they had the country’s backing?"
Hearing this guess, everyone suddenly elevated their perception of the Qin family.
They all started thinking, during all those years when Qin Zhihong and his wife weren’t around, had they bullied Granny Qin, Qin Tian, and his sister?
If Qin Zhihong and his wife found out, what if they retaliated?
At this point, some kids started crying.
"It’s scary, why are you crying?"
"Yeah, why cry all of a sudden?"
The kids cried, faces filled with fear and terror.
Choking, they talked about how they had bullied Qin Tian and his sister before.
"Oh my god, why would you say that, why bully Qin Tian?"
"I just repeated what I heard. It was you who said Qin Tian and Qin Qing’s parents left for a long time and wouldn’t come back."
"No way, you said that?"
"No, no, I didn’t..."
...
As a result, many families in the village shut their doors, afraid to go out, worried about bumping into Qin Zhihong and his wife, or being confronted by them.
They were all afraid of being retaliated by Qin Zhihong and his wife.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have said those things. I should have helped the Qin family more. That way, maybe Qin Zhihong and his wife would have rewarded me somehow. Even if they couldn’t make me a Beijing resident, maybe they could have introduced me to a job."
...
This time, Qin Zhihong and his wife had only a month’s vacation.
There were many things to do within this month.
First, they needed to identify those who had helped Qin Tian and the others while they were away.
Although many in the village hit them when they were down,
there were also those who helped.
People who willingly loaned them money, gave them food, or occasionally gave Qin Tian and Qin Qing some treats...
After learning about these, Qin Zhihong and his wife returned the kindness double.
They even helped those currently facing difficulties resolve their challenges.
Of course, the ones deserving the most gratitude were Gu Jia Ning and her husband.
Nobody knew that on the first night back home,
Qin Zhihong and Du Lan had the same dream.
A nightmare for them.
In the dream, Gu Jia Ning never appeared.
So Qin De’s misdeeds weren’t exposed, and he wasn’t arrested.
Granny fell sick with lung disease and died.
Qin Tian was sold to human traffickers by Qin De and died shortly afterward.
And Qin Qing...
Qin De, wanting to take over the Qin family house, wouldn’t let her live either.
So when they gloriously returned, they found three family graves.
Nobody knew how much pain Qin Zhihong and Du Lan felt.
That night, the couple awoke and recounted the nightmare, hugging each other and crying.
They inexplicably believed that without Gu Jia Ning, perhaps their nightmare wouldn’t have been just a dream.
But a reality.
So Gu Jia Ning was a benefactor to them.
She must be properly thanked.
-
And so, Qin Tian came to find Gu Jia Ning, describing how his parents had returned.
Inviting Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi to a dinner at the state-owned restaurant.
"So your parents are back? Alright, let’s go." Gu Jia Ning agreed.
Looking at Qin Tian, it was clear: having your parents back makes a difference.
Kids with doting parents have confidence and vitality in their brows.
Qin Tian also told Gu Jia Ning about their family’s upcoming move to Beijing. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Moving to Beijing, I wonder if I’ll ever see Sister Gu again..." Qin Tian looked at Gu Jia Ning, eyes filled with reluctance.
To Qin Tian, Gu Jia Ning was genuinely like a big sister.
Not just a sister, but also an idol!
He hoped to become someone like Sister Gu in the future.
If there’s one thing he’s reluctant about leaving Qin Family Village, it’s Gu Jia Ning.
Listening to him, Gu Jia Ning laughed, patted his little head, and said: "Little Tian, you probably don’t know, but your sister married a man, and your Brother Sheng is originally from Beijing, and we have a home in Beijing; maybe we’ll move back there and develop too."
"So, we’ll definitely have the chance to meet in the future."
"Really?" Hearing Gu Jia Ning’s words, Qin Tian was instantly delighted, his last bit of worry gone.
