Chapter 325: Chapter 325: No Amount of Money Can Be Exchanged Back (Monthly tickets 350+ updated)

History is always astonishingly similar.

When Wang Cuihua was pregnant with Jiaojiao, Yu Shuisheng passed away.

Just as Suizi was about to give birth, Yu Jingting was presumed dead.

The officials from the factory came and promised many words of consolation and quite a few compensation policies.

Under current circumstances, the terms offered by the event organizers were already quite good.

They broke the rules promising Suizi a house, normally, with their years of service at the factory, they still wouldn’t qualify for such a benefit, let alone now that he was no longer "present."

This was indeed a special favor and could easily make others green with envy.

But for the entire family, no amount of money could bring back Jingting.

A house, money ... as long as they worked hard, they would have them sooner or later.

Jingting, on the other hand, was an irreplaceable gem that Suizi would willingly exchange entire mountains of gold and silver, even her entire fortune, for.

The lights were on all night at the Yu family’s.

Every now and then, sobs could be heard.

Wang Cuihua wept until she lost consciousness, only to wake up and start crying again.

Becoming hoarse, Jiaojiao cried her voice out.

Suizi maintained her position on the head of the bed, showing no emotions.

After the factory people left, she remained in that motionless state.

To Wang Cuihua’s eyes, it was as though her soul had been drained, making her look all the more pitiful.

Suizi’s eyes hurt a little, she closed them to rest and contemplate her next steps.

She did not believe Jingting was dead.

But right now, she didn’t have a direction to look for him. At home, other than the elder, there were underage children and she was pregnant.

She had to rely on a powerful force to find Jingting with external help.

"Mother, I want to make a phone call" Suizi said as she stood up and walked outside.

"Where are you going to call this late?"

"I’m going to my aunt’s house, to call my mother."

The only person Suizi could think of right now was her mother.

"You might not get through to anyone at this time, whatever it is, wait until tomorrow morning and I’ll accompany you," said Wang Cuihua, her eyes swollen from weeping.

"Mother, Jingting isn’t dead, he can’t possibly be dead."

Suizi’s words made Wang Cuihua’s tears flow once again.

Suizi gently wiped away her mother-in-law’s tears.

"Mother, you must believe me. Jingting isn’t someone who could leave without a care, he can’t just leave like this. The same goes for my father-in-law, maybe they’ll return together."

Wang Cuihua thought to herself, she would be grateful if even one of them returned, but Suizi dared to say that both of them would return...

Sometimes, she really hoped that everything unpleasant would disappear after a blink of an eye, and life would return to its previous peace.

As the sun rose again, Wang Cuihua woke up to the familiar scent of corn porridge. Seeing only three bowls on the dining table instead of four made her feel suddenly heartbroken.

"Jiaojiao, come wash your face and have a meal." Suizi, as usual, called everyone to the dining table.

Jiaojiao’s eyes were swollen like walnuts. She sat down listlessly, staring at the boiled egg on the table. Suddenly, she remembered the times she had fought with her brother over eggs.

"Mother, I miss my brother..." Jiaojiao said, crying.

Some people’s worth is only realized after they are gone.

Wang Cuihua started sobbing too and held Jiaojiao tightly.

"My poor child, what kind of life is this... you didn’t see your father when you were born, and now your brother is gone—"

"Enough with the crying, everyone listen to me."

Suizi interrupted; their household couldn’t continue this way.

If she allowed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to be this heartbroken, they would weaken physically.

"Jiaojiao, I’ll get your teacher’s permission for you to stay home for a few days. Stay with mother during this time. You were your brother’s favorite, now that there’s trouble at home, you can’t just cry like a child, you need to take care of mother."

"Mother, as for Tiegen, I’ll keep searching. I’ll repeat myself, I’ll only believe he’s gone if I see him dead myself."

"I’ll go to my aunt’s place shortly to call my mother, asking her to find some people to help search for him. I don’t care whom I owe favors or how much I need to spend, I must find Jingting."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you," said Wang Cuihua, seeing Suizi as a changed person now. It saddened her.

When Tiegen was home, Suizi was a whiny woman. She was always crying, acting like a spoiled little wife.

After the incident with Tiegen, surprisingly, the most tearful Suizi became the one to first stabilize everyone. Seeing her calming the entire family, with a huge belly, Wang Cuihua had to bite her lip to hold back her grief.

After all, she was an elder. She didn’t want Suizi, the pregnant junior, to worry for her.

"Suizi, try not to get too upset. After all, you are carrying Tiegen’s child; if Tiegen is really gone, then these two children—"

Wang Cuihua couldn’t continue.

She was afraid of Suizi doing something reckless. She could only try to hold onto Suizi’s heart by talking about the children, fearing that Suizi might commit suicide from her grief.

"Mother, rest assured. First of all, Jingting will not die; secondly, no matter what happens, I will raise both of these children."

Suizi patted Wang Cuihua’s hand.

"Having cried so much, you must be dehydrated. Have some porridge and you will feel better."

Wang Cuihua was slightly taken aback by Suizi’s state. Was this girl grieving to the point of delusion or was she genuinely that strong?

Unbeknownst to Wang Cuihua, after leaving her aunt’s house, Suizi went straight to the hospital.

Being in her term, emotional turmoil was bound to affect the child. Suizi needed to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

She was nearly 36 weeks along and if she lost control of her emotions she might give birth prematurely. Suizi had preemptively contacted the doctor, given a financial gift, and arranged that if anything happened she would be immediately admitted for a Caesarean section.

Just as she promised Wang Cuihua, this was Jingting’s child. Whether he was there or not, she would safely bring both children into this world.

Suizi, who usually felt tired after a leisurely stroll at the front gate, had been walking all morning without feeling worn out.

She didn’t even have the energy to cry.

She needed to conserve her strength and use it where needed.

After leaving the hospital, Suizi sat down on the side of the road.

With no one around, she could show a bit of weakness. She needed some time to sit quietly by herself.

She now understood how Jingting must have felt.

Even during the hardest times at home, he always remained cheerful, keeping everyone’s spirits up. Suizi hardly ever saw worry or sadness on Jingting’s face.

She always thought that Jingting was invincible. As long as he was around, she felt secure.

Only now did she realize that he wasn’t like that from the beginning.

That’s why, during tough times, he would need some solitude, just like Suizi who was catching her breath alone after feigning strength.

When she stood up and returned home, she would, in Jingting’s stead, become the head of the family again. Leaders of the family cannot show weakness, be it through sadness or tears.

The responsibility of life inevitably forces some people to be strong.

Suizi sat on the bench on the side of the road, eyes shut, taking a nap. In a daze, she again saw those two radish-head dolls.

"Mom, help! Someone’s trying to pull up the radish!"

Suizi was jolted awake. Her vision was blocked by a tall silhouette.

"Jingting?!" Suizi exclaimed, looking up in surprise. However, upon seeing the man’s face, her excitement turned into disappointment.
