Chapter 605 - 600: Falling Ill
Qiu Lian only then remembered that she could report to the Public Security Bureau, she slapped her own head in annoyance, full of regret, "Yes, yes, I was also useless, so scared that my legs went weak, I completely forgot about calling the police, and even fell down in the shop like this."
"No worries, nothing major was broken, let’s clean up." Fang Pingying planned to go to the Police Station later to file a report, and with Shuanzi’s connection, such incidents would likely not happen again.
Fang Pingying and Qiu Lian together tidied up the shop a bit, some items were indeed broken and needed replacing. Seeing that Qiu Lian and Xiao Yun were truly frightened, she decided to close the shop for two days to let them rest, which would be a good time to reorganize the shop, and then reopen after two days.
Deng Qiulian and Xiao Yun had left, only Fang Pingying and Li Yuchun were left with Haohao. Li Yuchun couldn’t help but ask, "Pingying, who was that man called Shuanzi just now? I seemed to hear you mention Xu He."
Fang Pingying nodded, "Yes, he’s the one I told you about before, who was with Xu He in the guest house..."
Li Yuchun, having heard it from Fang Pingying before, naturally knew who she was referring to. She opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Is Xu He’s child his?"
Fang Pingying hesitated a bit, and said, "Not sure, but very likely."
Li Yuchun also felt that it was very probable from their guess. She thought for a while and sighed heavily, shaking her head, "Ah, speaking of which, that damn Luo Zhiming and Zhou Yunmei are also pitiful. Ever since they found out that Luo Zhiming couldn’t have children, they have been so eager, initially thinking Xu He was pregnant with Luo Zhiming’s child, must have been overjoyed in their hearts, treating Xu He like a lord. They didn’t expect that they might end up raising someone else’s child."
Fang Pingying also sighed. However, she always felt that something was off with what Shuanzi said about Xu He following him.
She thought Shuanzi might have talked to Xu He about it, or maybe Xu He had agreed to something. Otherwise, if Shuanzi was just fooling around with Xu He, he definitely wouldn’t have said such things.
If that was the case, maybe one day Xu He would leave the Luo Family and take her child to seek refuge with Shuanzi.
She said softly, "It’s not even certain whether they will raise the child or not."
"What do you mean?" Li Yuchun hadn’t thought of this and asked further.
Fang Pingying didn’t want to explain too much to Li Yuchun, so she waved her hand, "Never mind, it’s also none of our business. Let’s not worry about it and pretend we know nothing. Otherwise if something happens in the future, they might blame us."
Li Yuchun thought about it and immediately nodded, "That’s also true."
No matter what would happen in the future, but now that Dashan had come to live in the city, for Luo Zhiyong, Luo Honglan, and even Fang Pingying, there were a lot fewer problems. At least now they didn’t have to worry about sudden troubles at home. Since if there was any trouble, it would just be an issue between Zhou Yunmei and Xu He, a case of ’dog-eat-dog,’ it was best to let them deal with it.
Therefore, in the following days, Fang Pingying dedicated her energies into her own business.
Regarding the purchased land, Fang Pingying remembered that in her previous life, around a year later, close to 1990, the government would start to develop that area. Temporarily unaware of how the government would carry out the development, Fang Pingying just had bulldozers flatten the land, creating a large flat area.
Once the government notified her that they would develop that area, she could build shops and a supermarket as planned on that piece of land, and Fang Ping would be the owner. Then, Fang Pingying could just sit at home and collect the rent, which would likely be enough to buy the best house in the city in just one month.
Just right, as Fang Pingying had invested quite a sum into the land purchase, the funds were momentarily not retrievable, so the matter was put on hold.
For now, Fang Pingying focused her attention on the supermarket and her pastry shop.
Currently, in the pastry shop, apart from Yu’er, she had hired four other young girls. Fang Pingying let Yu’er take charge, managing all affairs of the pastry shop while Fang Pingying only occasionally checked the accounting books.
Since the remodel, the place had increased its standards and slightly raised its prices, but it did not affect the income; the monthly profit had multiplied several times over compared to before.
Along with the supermarket and Uncle Zeng’s counter share, it wouldn’t take a very long time to gradually repay the bank loan.
Once the payment is settled and the shops are built, Fang Pingying felt that achieving this in her lifetime would suffice, and she could spend the remaining days accompanying the two little ones, watching them grow up happily.
As for men, Fang Pingying didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Although she still couldn’t forget Luo Zhiyong, she did not yet have the courage to step into the Luo Family’s home, which seemed as fierce as wolves and tigers.
As for other men, she didn’t have room in her heart for them either, unwilling to force herself; there was nothing wrong with living her life alone.
However, reflecting on her current and past lives, Fang Pingying felt fortunate that in this life, through her own efforts, she had indeed changed her destiny.
Although her love life was less than satisfactory, having her own career and her two children by her side was enough.
But perhaps because of her excessive hard work, just when Fang Pingying felt satisfied with everything, her body couldn’t take it anymore.
That evening, Luo Honglan mentioned that Dashan had been feeling unwell lately, so she left early to return to Dashan, leaving Fang Pingying alone to take care of the two children.
Fang Pingying boiled water for the two little ones to bathe, following her usual routine to prepare a pot of water, which was just enough for the two little ones’ baths; usually both Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan would handle it together, quickly getting it done.
But today it was just Fang Pingying alone, and the two kids made her head spin.
The two little ones got overly excited upon seeing the water; sitting together in the basin, they had a grand time playing with the water.
At times they splashed water on each other in the basin joyfully; at times they ran out of the basin naked, running around everywhere, and the weather was approaching October, starting to get cold. Fang Pingying had no choice but to first catch Yaoyao, the more mischievous one, sit her on a stool and cover her with a towel blanket.
Then she put Ruirui on the sofa and wrapped him in a blanket to keep him still.
Fang Pingying pretended to be angry and said, "Ruirui, Auntie is not here today, mommy is taking care of you two alone, you can’t be naughty, otherwise mommy will faint from exhaustion."
Ruirui, who was usually more reserved, often well-behaved without his sister leading him, nodded immediately upon hearing Fang Pingying’s words, "Mommy, Ruirui will behave."
Hearing that, Fang Pingying bent down and kissed his forehead, then planned to stand up and take Yaoyao for a bath, but as she fully stood up, she suddenly felt a headache, and it seemed there was also a slight pain in her lower abdomen, although it was just a faint pain, not very noticeable. After standing for a while, it seemed to get better.
Fang Pingying didn’t worry about it, fearing that Yaoyao, who had already stripped off her clothes, would catch cold, so she took her to the bathroom for a bath.
However, after bathing the two, and taking them to the bedroom to get dressed, Fang Pingying suddenly felt stars before her eyes, a wave of dizziness, and directly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Yaoyao and Ruirui, seeing their mom collapse straight down, also realized something was wrong, immediately jumping off the bed. Each squatted by Fang Pingying’s side, pushing her, and loudly calling, "Mommy, Mommy."
Fang Pingying, already passed out, couldn’t hear their cries; seeing their mom lying motionless on the ground, both of them were so anxious they began to cry loudly on the floor.
After crying for a long time and seeing that Fang Pingying still made no move, Yaoyao suddenly stopped crying, her eyes darted around, and she seemed to recall something. She then quickly stood up and ran outside.
