Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Mom’s Illness is Cured

"If they had to rob someone, why not rob them?

She didn’t have to exclusively bring misfortune upon He Xiuyu.

She didn’t know exactly when she was reborn, but she could confirm that when she was reborn, there were already mobile phones and computers.

It’s just that they hadn’t developed as quickly as they would in the following decades.

This time she returned in a hurry and didn’t bring anything delicious. However, her little nephew and niece were all around her, especially Feifei, who was the happiest. She took out the red rain boots Qiao Qingyu had bought for her and whispered to Qiao Qingyu that she could finally wear the boots tomorrow.

Both children still didn’t know that their grandmother’s illness was very serious, and at this moment, their faces were all soft smiles.

Qiao Qingyu asked about the two children’s studies.

Doudou was eight, and Feifei was seven.

Doudou was already in the first grade and studied well, consistently scoring hundreds in his exams. Feifei, his younger sister, was always in preschool. At this time, Qiao Qingyu’s grandparents, uncle, and Aunt Qiao had also arrived.

They all asked about how Han Xianglan was doing. When they found out that He Xiuyu was contacting hospitals abroad, and if it worked out, he would arrange their travel abroad, everyone was initially shocked.

After all, for them, foreign countries seemed like a different world.

So having someone suddenly needing to go abroad for treatment was unbelievable.

Qiao Qingyu patiently explained to them, and the two elders, including Aunt Qiao, were reassured and went back home.

Niu Guili steamed some rice, then placed the golden crispy rice separately on a plate, knowing that Qiao Qingyu liked it.

She used rich oil for the stir-fry and stewed green beans and potatoes, also making a tofu soup. Although the house was somewhat cold, eating made it feel warm.

The two children ate deliciously, but Qiao Qingyu and Niu Guili, having things on their minds, reluctantly ate a few bites before putting down their chopsticks.

In the deep silence of the night, Qiao Qingyu, unable to sleep, began to turn on the light and rummage through things.

Somewhat puzzled, she didn’t understand why the original owner hadn’t left even a single piece of paper with writing.

After searching for a long time, just like the last time, she found nothing.

Qiao Qingyu lay back down on the Kang, forcing herself not to think about anything, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Niu Guili made hot soup noodles topped with a poached egg. After eating, Qiao Qingyu prepared to leave, once again needing to take a horse-drawn carriage to the county town.

However, she didn’t ask her uncle to accompany her because the rain had been heavy, and the soybean fields in the ditches of their hundreds of acres were full of water, some of the soybean crops had been blown down by the strong winds.

The village’s cadres had all gone to the fields outside the village early in the morning.

Before leaving, Qiao Qingyu quietly said to Niu Guili, "Sister-in-law, that knotted bracelet that mom always wore was lent to Second Aunt, and after that she claimed it was lost. I don’t believe it. When you have time, go to the old house and ask around; have her look for it again."

"Didn’t she just borrow it a few days ago? How could it get lost so quickly?"

Niu Guili immediately got angry.

Although the item wasn’t valuable, she knew since marrying into the family that her mother-in-law always wore it.

People always keep sentimental attachments, even if it’s just a blade of grass; over time, feelings develop, so how could it just be lost like that?

She readily agreed, "Okay, I will go to the old house later. I’ve got to ask her thoroughly how she lost it and where it could be. It’s possible she kept it for herself."

Hearing this, Qiao Qingyu felt a flicker of something pass quickly through her mind. She loweringly said, "Sister-in-law, ask around indirectly; during the days mom was hospitalized, whether she had gone back to her parental home or met anyone."

Sister-in-law Qiao nodded and agreed to each task.

...

When Qiao Qingyu arrived at the provincial city, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon."

The provincial city didn’t rain, the air was a bit dry, but today the sky was exceptionally blue, even though the sun had already set behind the mountain.

Qiao Qingyu carried a shoulder bag, holding a canvas travel bag in her hand, which contained a few changes of clothes for her parents and her elder brother.

She carried the travel bag upstairs, where the nurse at the station already recognized her and happily told her, "Qiao Qingyu, your mother has improved and doesn’t need IV nutrition anymore; she can eat now."

Qiao Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then, with the canvas bag in hand, she hurried toward Han Xianglan’s hospital room.

The door to the hospital room was open, and there was the sound of talking inside. It was Qiao Zhicai, "Don’t worry, our daughter will be back soon..."

And Qiao Tianbao’s voice, "Little aunt, Qingyu is now managing things very steadily. You’ve just recovered from your illness; you really can’t rush."

Qiao Qingyu quickly entered the room.

Han Xianglan was sitting up on the hospital bed, no longer attached to an IV, and the heart monitor next to her had been removed. Her elder brother was packing up things, and Qiao Tianbao was peeling an apple.

Then, seeing Qiao Qingyu enter, they all looked up simultaneously.

"Come, Qingyubao, come here and let mom hug you." Han Xianglan stretched out her arms joyfully.

Qiao Qingyu set down the canvas bag, ran forward a few steps, and plunged into Han Xianglan’s arms, tightly embracing her. It was the first time in her life she had experienced what it meant to cry tears of joy.

...

The hospital ultimately couldn’t explain what the illness was.

But Qiao Qingyu knew it wasn’t the hospital’s fault; it was very likely the doing of Han Lishi and Han Liuya.

However, she didn’t have any evidence right now.

Should she discuss this with He Xiuyu?

Qiao Qingyu hadn’t realized that she had already gotten used to relying on He Xiuyu.

The next day, they completed the discharge procedures, thanked Vice Dean Zhu, and returned to the Qiao Family Team with large and small bags.

A few days earlier, Han Xianglan had been carried out of the Qiao Family Team, but this time, she got out of the car at the entrance of the village. Although she was still somewhat weak, she walked home, smiling and holding her daughter’s hand.

Visitors continued to come and go incessantly. By the time it finally quieted down, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening.

Qiao Qingyu asked her uncle to stay as she needed to tell her parents, elder brother, and uncle about her visit to the Han Family the day before.

She hadn’t let her uncle tell the truth, so now Han Xianglan and the others didn’t know that she had actually gone to Lianjiang Village the day before yesterday.

Qiao Qingyu first took out the letter, then narrated the events that had occurred.

Everyone was both shocked and furious.

Qiao Zhicai and Qiao Genbao’s eyes were red.

Qiao Zhicai clenched his teeth and seethed, "I’ve never liked that old witch. If it weren’t for Qingyu, I would have cut ties with them long ago!"

Qiao Qingyu, "..."

That was when she remembered that the original owner had had a good relationship with the Han Family.

Although she didn’t visit often, sometimes she would impulsively bring gifts to them.

This was also why, although the Qiao Family and the Han Family weren’t close, they hadn’t broken off relations.

Qiao Qingyu frowned and said awkwardly, "There’s a problem with the Han Family. I didn’t understand before because I was young, but I won’t make that mistake again."

Qiao Zhicai quickly said, "We don’t blame you; Dad didn’t mean anything by those words. It’s mainly because the Han Family is too cunning..."

Qiao Zhiyuan’s gaze was deep, with a hint of fear, "That family is too devious. I was talking with Han Dazhu in the main hall, not far from Liuya’s room, but how come I never heard her scream? It doesn’t make sense..."
