Back to the Eighties: A Beloved Marriage
Cheng Fangfang thought this way and planned accordingly. Unfortunately, Qi Tingting did not have the courage to entertain the same foolish fantasies.
At this moment, Qi Tingting was just relieved that she hadn't been scared out of her wits; how could she dare to show up in front of the Tao Family?
"Mom, I won't go! I..." The person Qi Tingting feared the most right now was Qian Yue and the Tao family. She would rather die than apologize to the Tao Family.
Having caused Qian Yue to lose her child, Qi Tingting had no doubt that once she appeared before the Tao Family, they would not let her off easily.
By then, she would probably not even know how she died.
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became; the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt. Qi Tingting instinctively wanted to find a place to hide and never be found by anyone again.
As for the matters with the Tao Family, she would leave it to her mother to resolve. She believed in her mother's abilities and knew that she would handle it perfectly and quickly.
With her mother around, why would she need to step in?
"You have to go!" Cheng Fangfang pinched Qi Tingting hard; it wasn't that she genuinely wanted to grovel before others. This was all for Qi Tingting's sake—to prevent her from being arrested or held accountable by the Tao Family!
At the very least, Qi Tingting, as the person involved, needed to take the initiative to apologize and admit her mistakes in front of the Tao Family, right?
Otherwise, how could the Tao Family ever forgive Qi Tingting? The trouble would only escalate from there.
However, Cheng Fangfang's insistence on forcing Qi Tingting was completely unnecessary.
Before Tingting agreed to Cheng Fangfang, Qi Zheng had already rejected Cheng Fangfang's proposal: "You don't need to follow. Seeing you, the Tao Family will only feel worse."
Both Tingting and Cheng Fangfang were eager to take advantage of Qi Zheng. They thought they could leverage relationships and favors.
However, it seemed they truly did not understand the situation and misjudged Qi Zheng's character.
In the face of Tingting's reckless behavior, how could Qi Zheng possibly side with them? His cold words were merely a show of force.
"But..." Cheng Fangfang still wanted to argue that if they didn't go, wouldn't the Tao Family hate them even more? Yet Qi Zheng did not look back and left with Zhao Jin.
If he stayed with Cheng Fangfang and Tingting any longer, Qi Zheng couldn't guarantee he wouldn't lose his temper and confront Cheng Fangfang and her mother directly.
Even though they were relatives, Cheng Fangfang and Tingting's actions were already too detestable.
Cheng Fangfang wanted to pull Tingting to chase after them. Unfortunately, Qi Zheng had already refused to take them to the county, and Tingting was throwing a tantrum, unwilling to go.
In the end, Cheng Fangfang could only stand there, watching helplessly as Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin left Willow Leaf Village.
"What is wrong with you? You let such a good opportunity slip away! Do you really want to be taken away and imprisoned? You..." Without Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin as an option, Cheng Fangfang was truly unwilling to accept it. She turned around and scolded Tingting.
Did Tingting even realize how serious her stubbornness was? At this moment, Qi Zheng was their only way out, yet Tingting seemed completely unconcerned. Did she really want to be captured and imprisoned?
Tingting looked at Cheng Fangfang with an unhappy expression but surprisingly did not argue back.
She knew that Cheng Fangfang wanted her to go to the county for her own good. Seeking out Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin was her own idea from the start; how could she not understand the seriousness of the situation?
But she just didn't dare to meet the Tao Family! She was afraid of being beaten, afraid that when the Tao Family members were fiercely attacking her, no one would step forward to help her.
As for Qi Zheng, this cousin? She didn't dare to hope or expect anything from him.
Forget it, forget it, she admitted that she had not considered things thoroughly earlier, isn't that enough?
She really didn't want to go to the Tao Family! She was scared that as soon as she appeared in front of the Tao Family members, before the police arrived, she would be beaten to death by them.
If it came to that, Qi Tingting's concerns were indeed well-founded and could very likely happen.
At this moment, the Tao Family was completely chaotic and genuinely at the peak of their fury, only a step away from immediately going to Willow Leaf Village to tear Qi Tingting apart.
Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng arrived at this time. Along with them were Qian Minmin and other members of the Qian Family.
Qian Yue was currently in County Hospital, having lost all her former brilliance, feeling particularly sad and distressed.
The Tao Family members beside her all had gloomy faces, and the entire hospital room felt exceptionally oppressive.
As soon as they walked into the room, they sensed the somber atmosphere. Zhao Jin pursed his lips, wishing he could strangle Qi Tingting to death.
She was truly a disaster! How could she cause such harm? How could...
"Brother Qi, Sister-in-law." Upon seeing Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin, Tao Tao forced a smile. She wanted to show a smile but truly couldn't manage it.
The incident was caused by Qi Tingting; naturally, he wouldn't vent his anger on Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin.
Tingting is truly a peculiar person, and the relationship between Qi Zheng's family and Tingting's family is both cold and tense, which Tao Tao is well aware of.
Therefore, at this moment, facing Qi Zheng, he cannot take out his anger on him, nor would he be so unable to discern right from wrong.
However, he is genuinely in pain, though he cannot express it.
He patted Tao Tao on the shoulder; Qi Zheng said nothing, but everything was understood without words.
He knew that Tao Tao must be feeling very sad right now, silently heartbroken.
But Tao Tao cannot fall apart. This family still relies on Tao Tao to hold it together; Qian Yue's side still needs Tao Tao as a pillar to support what lies ahead.
"How could this happen!" Accompanied by an angry outburst, Qian Minmin rushed to the bedside and hugged Qian Yue, starting to cry.
Before Qian Minmin arrived, Qian Yue was only quietly sobbing, not daring to cry out loud. But with Qian Minmin's embrace, Qian Yue suddenly found an outlet for her emotions and completely broke down, wailing loudly.
She truly could not understand why she had to face such misfortune. She had been looking forward to the child in her belly and loved him dearly. But now, everything was gone.
She lost her child; she felt that as a mother, she was not competent enough and failed to protect her own child. She felt guilty.
"Don't cry, don't cry." How could Qian Minmin hold back her tears? In fact, she cried even louder than Qian Yue, more uncontrollably.
Yet she still tried to persuade Qian Yue not to cry and to take care of her health. She knew how much Qian Yue wanted to curse and how much she wanted to grab Tingting and punish her severely.
But the child was gone; the adults were still here. They could not let Qian Yue harm herself; they could not let her leave behind any lasting damage.
So, on the way there, Qian Minmin was reminded to hold back her emotions and prioritize Qian Yue.
Qian Minmin couldn't contain her feelings, and Zhao Jin's eyes were also red. Although they didn't get close, there was already an impulse to burst into tears.
Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng came to the hospital purely out of concern for Qian Yue, which is why they came to visit.
Therefore, they didn't mention anything about pleading for Qi Tingting. Their stance on this matter was undoubtedly firm.
By the time the police finally found Qi Tingting, no amount of urgency from Cheng Fangfang would help.
With Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin not in the village, it was useless for them to look for anyone. In the end, Cheng Fangfang could only watch helplessly as Qi Tingting was taken away.
The arrival of the police in the village, especially to arrest someone, instantly caused a huge uproar.
From then on, Qi Tingting would be remembered in the village for the rest of her life. Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu also became part of the gossip.
For a long time afterward, Qi Tingting became the biggest topic in Willow Leaf Village. Even Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu couldn't escape it.
Of course, Qi Juanjuan couldn't avoid it either.
However, compared to seeing Qi Tingting take a hard fall, Qi Juanjuan could tolerate anything else.
Moreover, it wasn't her who caused Qian Yue to lose her baby. No matter how much gossip there was in the village, it couldn't affect her. She was just an innocent bystander, after all.
Besides, she was Qi Tingting's sister; Qi Zheng's family were all relatives of Qi Tingting. By that logic, Qi Zheng's family would also be implicated.
Nunu pouted, and Qi Juanjuan's attitude was quite positive; she was not significantly affected by the incident.
While Qi Juanjuan could choose to ignore this matter, Qi Tingting had no way to escape it.
What surprised everyone even more was that Qi Tingting was diagnosed as pregnant just after being arrested!
This news shocked Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu.
Qi Tingting wasn't married yet, how could she possibly be pregnant? This... this is...
Even though the current social atmosphere is not as strict as it used to be, it doesn't mean that people can act recklessly! Moreover, Willow Leaf Village has a simple and honest culture, and its tolerance for such matters is clearly not very strong.
As a result, Qi Tingting's reputation in the village was completely ruined. Even Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu didn't dare to go out much anymore.
They felt that they would be pointed at and ridiculed as soon as they stepped outside; it was too embarrassing!
At this moment, Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu finally realized how immense the damage and impact of Qi Tingting's actions were on their family.
Thus, the initial thought of going to the county to help Qi Tingting plead with Tao Tao to get her out quickly vanished. Both Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu chose to keep their distance and refused to get involved in this mess any longer.
To be honest, Qi Juanjuan was not surprised at all by her parents' choice and decision.
For her parents, an embarrassing incident like Qi Tingting's premarital pregnancy meant that there was no hope left.
Not only her parents but even Qi Juanjuan herself found it hard to accept.
She had always known that Qi Tingting was fooling around outside, and the so-called staying at a friend's house was not quite the truth. However, Qi Juanjuan really did not expect that Qi Tingting would end up pregnant.
If she had known that such a situation would arise, Qi Juanjuan thought seriously and felt that she still wouldn't remind Qi Tingting about it.
After all, even if she advised her, Qi Tingting would definitely not listen.
Rather than wasting her breath and words, she might as well say nothing at all; that way, she could be at ease.
Qi Tingting did not know that her family had already given up on her. After being locked up, she had been waiting for Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu to come.
Even if they couldn't help her seek forgiveness from the Tao Family, at least they should come to see her, right?
Unfortunately, Qi Tingting had never waited for Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu.
This was yet another huge blow. It was enough to shatter all of Qi Tingting's defenses and her last bit of confidence and pride.
Qian Yue learned from Zhao Jin that Qi Tingting had not only been caught but was also pregnant.
However, even knowing that Qi Tingting's future would definitely not be easy, it still couldn't heal her heartache.
Rather than letting Qi Tingting get what she deserved, Qian Yue would prefer for her child to be safe. She and Qi Tingting did not have much interaction anyway.
Qian Yue's feelings were clear not only to Zhao Jin but also to Tao Tao and others.
It was precisely because they understood this that they loathed Qi Tingting even more and found it increasingly difficult to forgive her.
Especially Tao Tao, who becomes increasingly irritated whenever she hears the name Qi Tingting, and absolutely does not allow anyone around her to mention it.
Fortunately, Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu have completely given up on the idea of coming to find the Tao Family due to Qi Tingting's pregnancy. Otherwise, Tao Tao's anger would likely intensify, and the harm inflicted by Qi Tingting's family on the Tao Family would become even more severe.
Zhao Jin does not sympathize with Qi Tingting at all. From beginning to end, she has stood by Qian Yue's side. At the same time, she has been taking care of Qian Yue until Qian Yue was discharged from the hospital.
It is not out of compensation or guilt; Zhao Jin simply feels a deep sense of pity for Qian Yue, which is her true intention.
Even though Zhao Jin is currently pregnant and should not be overworked or fatigued, Qi Zheng has not stopped her actions.
He knows very well that Jin is always measured in whatever she does. She is fully aware of her own physical condition.
Moreover, they are currently in the hospital, and Jin has been cooperating with various routine checks. Therefore, Qi Zheng feels reassured and allows Zhao Jin to make her own decisions.
Grandma Qi and Zhou Ju are somewhat worried. If possible, they would prefer Zhao Jin to return home to rest during her pregnancy while they take care of Qian Yue in the hospital.
However, they also understand that compared to Cheng Fangfang and Qi Erzhu, Qian Yue probably does not want to see them in the ward at this moment. After all, they all share the surname Qi and belong to the Qijia Family.
This is why, despite Zhao Jin frequently entering and exiting Qian Yue's ward, Qi Zheng always lingers in the hallway.
Even though Tao Tao and Qian Yue have not directed their anger towards them, they still wish to avoid any unnecessary conflict as much as possible.
To avoid further upsetting Qian Yue and to make her feel a little better emotionally, each of them is doing their utmost to contribute in any way they can—whether quietly or visibly.
At this moment, their hearts are united. They all hope that Qian Yue can recover quickly and emerge from her suffering soon.
This world is filled with various tragedies and misfortunes happening in different places. However, no matter how painful the blows life gives us, we must continue to live bravely and fearlessly. We must not be defeated by the tests of fate, nor should we easily give up.
Just like the current situation of the Tao Family, as well as many others who are suffering.
We must all firmly believe that after the storm, a rainbow will appear, and the road ahead will surely become better and smoother.
As for the wounds and pains buried in our hearts, let's slowly leave them to time to gently heal…
It may hurt a lot at first, even to the point of being unbearable. However, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. On the journey of life, as long as we have family and loved ones by our side, we can bravely move past all obstacles.
For Qian Yue, the word that Zhao Jin hides in her heart the most is: Keep going. We cannot be crushed; we cannot fall here. So let’s work hard! The future will definitely be brighter, and this is Zhao Jin's greatest blessing and hope for Qian Yue, as well as the belief she holds onto in her heart.
