Chapter 644: Fear a Fool’s Bright Idea

Qin Wenying’s face darkened.

"Why do I need to be taken care of? I’m getting out of the hospital, which means I’m fine. Besides, it was a head injury, not a broken arm or leg. Why would I need her to look after me?"

She mostly just didn’t want to live at home.

The moment she thought about living at home, her mom would start nagging her every day, and she’d lose all her freedom—just thinking about it made her head throb.

That was when a flash of inspiration struck, and she thought of her sister-in-law’s home as the perfect getaway.

Besides, it’s not like she was the type to stand on ceremony.

Mrs. Qin scoffed. "You really did injure your brain. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be saying such things. How could you have the nerve to go bother someone like that?"

Qin Wenying immediately shot back, "She’s not just ’someone.’ Isn’t that my sister-in-law’s own mother? In other words, she’s my mom, too—"

Mrs. Qin: ’...? What mom?’

’I’m still alive!’

Just then, Qin Wenze spoke up. "—Sis, I really don’t think this is appropriate. It’s better to recover at home. If you go stay at our sister-in-law’s house, and her mom sees a patient in recovery, won’t she feel obligated to buy nice food every day to take care of you?"

Hearing this, Qin Wenying couldn’t help but sigh. "It was just a whim. I was just talking, I didn’t really mean it."

Mrs. Qin snorted. "A cunning villain’s schemes are less scary than a fool’s bright idea."

Qin Wenying: ’...?’

’Mom, that’s a straight-up personal attack.’

’Besides, how am I stupid?’

’That word has nothing to do with me.’

—

The car pulled up and stopped in front of the Qin Family Mansion.

Qin Wenying got out of the car.

She could feel a difference in the air.

She took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It’s so good to be home!"

She was so sick of the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

Mrs. Qin wanted to snap back at her—after all, just moments before in the car, she’d been scheming to go to someone else’s house.

But she swallowed the words before they could leave her lips.

Because Granny Qin had appeared.

"Wen Ying, you’re out of the hospital? Quick, let Grandma have a look—"

Granny Qin looked her granddaughter up and down.

Then, her heart aching, she said, "You’ve gotten thin. Much too thin."

"Grandma, I haven’t lost any weight! Grandma, I missed you so much!"

Qin Wenying stepped forward and hugged her grandmother.

’Honestly, in that moment before she passed out, she had thought of everyone in the family. Then she’d thought, if I really die, wouldn’t Grandma cry herself blind?’

’So, she really did want to live.’

’I can’t let Grandma cry herself blind for me.’

"Oh, Grandma missed you, too—"

Granny Qin’s eyes turned red.

At that moment, reality finally sank in—her granddaughter was alive, truly and vibrantly alive!

Nothing could be better.

"Then you just focus on getting better, and take good care of yourself from now on."

"Okay! Grandma, I’m sorry I made you worry this time."

Qin Wenying was filled with guilt.

After all, her grandmother was getting on in years, yet she had made her worry so much.

Granny Qin patted her lightly on the back. "Come on, let’s go inside."

Qin Wenying immediately let go of her grandmother, then supported her as they went into the house.

Because the two kids were at school.

Right now, only Granny Qin and Aunt Li were at home.

Aunt Li was also overjoyed to see Qin Wenying home from the hospital.

"Aunt Li, I’m back!"

"It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back! I’ve stewed some pigeon soup for you. Have a big bowl later."

"Okay." All Qin Wenying could think about was how long it had been since she’d showered at the hospital.

’Now that I’m home, I have to take one immediately.’

"I’m going upstairs to take a shower first."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Qin immediately replied, "A shower is fine, but you can’t wash your hair."
