Chapter 16: Am I Sick?
"Ah!"
Early in the morning, accompanied by a scream, Qian woke up from her dream.
Unhurriedly, she opened the wardrobe, listening to Qu Xue’s wailing downstairs, and began choosing clothes.
This wardrobe is pathetically empty.
Just a few plain outfits, very simple styles.
Randomly picked a white dress, skillfully tied her hair up, but then she remembered she’s no longer the capable doctor she once was, put her hair down and re-did it in a ponytail.
Without dark circles, she looks energetic; no makeup yet full of collagen.
After tidying up, she opened the window, the attic window faced the backyard.
Qu Xue and Chen Lin stood facing each other, Qu Xue was howling.
"Boohoo, brother-in-law, do I have a terminal illness!"
"What happened!" Chen Lin’s tone wasn’t good either.
His wife hadn’t returned all night, he lost quite a bit playing mahjong overnight, and now back being pestered by Qu Xue, with crying before any explanation, making him irritated.
"Today... my urine was red!"
Qian leaned against the window, quietly watched the scene, and adjusted her glasses.
Oh dear, surely Qu Xue got lucky, this kind of probability happening to her is even more gratifying than diarrhea.
"How could this be?" Chen Lin already had enough troubles, his tone was impatient.
"Do I have a kidney problem... Brother-in-law, will you accompany me to the hospital to get checked?"
"Where’s the time, I have to go pick up Xiufang." That wife, who knows how she’s speaking ill of him at her parents’ place.
Oh my, such loving entanglement, Qian covered her mouth, feeling a bit sour.
An unknown neighbor turned on the TV loudly this morning, and the high-pitched theme song of the popular drama "Young Justice Bao" echoed fittingly.
"With the sky above, a belief within, not ignorance but fearless challenge, seeking clarity in everything, old habits die hard~"
Afraid of being seen, Qu Xue and Chen Lin parted ways while Qian hummed softly to herself.
"As long as the truth is revealed, all is justified in the heart."
Chen Lin went out to pick up Jia Xiufang, and Qian slipped again into their bedroom, found the family’s camera, and went downstairs.
Seeing Qian come down, Qu Xue put down the mirror.
"Qian’er, you’re awake."
"Yeah, your mourning was so loud, it would be hard not to wake up."
Qu Xue’s eyes turned cold, this brat.
"Getting married really makes one different, unfortunately, a married daughter is like water thrown out, Qian’er, your temper at home might be tolerated, but at your in-laws like this, tsk tsk."
Once the mask of hypocrisy was torn off, her words started carrying thorns.
Qian ignored her provocation and went straight to the counter, pushed Qu Xue aside, opened the drawer, and grabbed a handful of change.
"Hey! What are you doing! I’ll tell your dad!" Qu Xue tried to snatch it, but Qian put the money in her pocket and glanced lightly.
"Haven’t had enough of torn clothes?"
With those words, all the painful memories of last night flooded Qu Xue’s mind.
People, once they have a shadow in their heart, a little stimulation can easily intimidate them. Yesterday, Qian tore clothes and burned tables, scaring the entire family.
"By the way, I heard, red urine, urinary tract infection is considered mild, there’s also glomerulonephritis, stones, bladder tumors... tsk tsk, look at your belly, slightly protruding, is it the tumor pushing?"
Successfully fooled Qu Xue, scaring her pale and slumped in the chair, Qian swaggered out the door.
Hmm, Qu Xue is surely going to fret over this all day. In the end, what goes around comes around.
With money in pocket, found a breakfast shop, ordered a bowl of fragrant wonton, need to eat full for energy to settle scores.
After breakfast, with the university admission notice in hand, went to the post office, the school would transer the notices to the post office after the college entrance exam, with the admission notice one could extract their files, then have the files sent to the admitted school via the post office.
These things didn’t exist in the past life.
If files were not extracted, the post office would return them to the school at the end of the given date. In the past life repeating the studies, since the files had been returned to the school, Ni Jianren’s family repeatedly obstructed, almost causing her repeat school to almost refuse her because the files couldn’t be extracted.
Luckily, with the help of that mysterious benefactor, when she was writing, she said she wanted to give up, that person asked what was going on, finally replied with four words, "Relax and take the exam."
Then everything was sorted.
Remember, in the past life that someone who helped was truly a benefactor.
Though they met once, Qian really doesn’t remember what he looked like, she was too sad then, wanted to jump in the river, was pulled by the man, after hearing her story, she was too sad, kept crying and crying, eyes blurred, forgot what her benefactor looked like.
But she remembers his handwriting, particularly beautiful, and the remitting name, she also secretly noted it down, but when she finally had the ability to repay, it was as if he disappeared from the world, the name didn’t match the person, he used another’s name for remittance.
If he didn’t want to be seen, she couldn’t find him, wanting to repay the kindness was impossible.
When she needed help the most, it was that person who saved her life, gave her money, helped her fight against Ni Jianren’s family’s influence, yet when she was already independent, he quietly exited, probably not wanting her to repay him, truly a good person.
After sending the files, Qian stood at the post office entrance, pondered a bit.
There were still a few months until she met the benevolent person in her previous life, she always remembered that date, when the time came, she would return to the riverside and pretend to jump, lure out the benefactor, this time she had a chance to truly repay her previous life’s debt.
She reciprocates grievances, but she won’t forget kindness, without that person, there wouldn’t have been the strongest female boss in her previous life.
After finishing all this, Qian headed to the high school she attended, greeted the old guard, saying the classroom teacher wanted to see her, as bold as brass, entered the school.
Now during summer vacation, the campus was completely empty, teachers’ staff dormitory was just behind the teaching building.
In the empty campus, a small whirlwind blew through, in school before classmates often joked, saying the school used to be a graveyard later rebuilt into a school, so there often were inexplicable small winds.
Qian didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, but she was indeed reborn. Seeing these little winds now, she wasn’t scared at all.
Ghosts or gods, could they be worse than people with rotten hearts?
Example, like the father who hid her admission notice, or the high school teacher who cooperated with her father, these people were rotten through.
The resentment between the classroom teacher and Qian wasn’t just about cooperating with her dad saying she failed, now, she’s here to settle the old scores.
