Chapter 116 Choice
Song Lingling followed Ting Nan to the hospital bathhouse. She asked Ting Nan to help her wash her long hair, which was tangled from not washing it in a long time, and she still felt weak. After drying her hair and wrapping it in a towel, she went into the shower stall alone, refusing to let Ting Nan scrub her back. She had too many scars on her private parts and didn't want to frighten Ting Nan.
Ting Nan stood guard at the entrance of the bathhouse. She knew that after what had happened, no one would be able to get over it for a while, and she hoped that the affection of Aunt Song and the others could comfort Sister Lingling.
After taking a shower and returning to the ward, Song Runze borrowed a hairdryer from somewhere and helped Lingling dry her hair. He then told her to rest and left.
This time, Song Lingling slept soundly, with her older brother by her side. And Nan's words made her feel a little better: "People shouldn't take all the blame upon themselves; only then can they get through life."
When Aunt Song rushed over after making soup at home, Song Lingling was still asleep. Seeing her daughter's relaxed brow and the scent of soap in the room, she felt a little relieved. Her daughter had actually washed her hair and taken a bath; this must be thanks to Tingnan.
Song Runze relayed the conversation between Tingnan and her sister to his mother, and Aunt Song was extremely grateful: "Tingnan is such a perceptive child, and she is also very loyal and righteous. My Lingling is so lucky to have such a good friend!"
"Yes, Mother, I asked her to come and chat with Lingling more often and help her to comfort her." Song Runze was also very distressed about what his sister had gone through.
Looking at her sleeping daughter, Aunt Song called her son outside the ward and solemnly said, "Runze, your father and I only have you and Lingling as our two children. They are both our flesh and blood. Now that Lingling is in trouble, we as parents will never abandon her. Your wife, Wang Xiaolian, has taken the child back to her parents' home. She said, 'It's either her or me.' Today, I also want to make it clear that your father and I choose Lingling. If you want to continue living with Wang Xiaolian, then we will separate the family, and you will move out. My Lingling will not live under her thumb."
"Mom, I also choose Lingling. I'll go to her parents' house later. She has to apologize to Lingling and promise not to talk nonsense again. If she can't do that, we'll get a divorce." Although Wang Xiaolian is his daughter's mother, Song Runze can't accept such a cruel treatment of his sister, which drove her to suicide.
Without a moment's hesitation, Song Runze went to his father-in-law's house to settle accounts with Wang Xiaolian.
Song Lingling spent a week in the hospital. Saturday came, and Tingnan came to chat with her. She heard from Aunt Song that her sister-in-law couldn't stay at her parents' home anymore; Song Runze had given her two choices. Her parents, brother, and sister-in-law weren't willing to take in a divorced woman, and were worried it would affect their children's marriage prospects, so they kicked her out. She had no choice but to go to the hospital to apologize to Lingling, but Lingling resisted vehemently.
Ting Nan's eyes darted around, and she had an idea. "Hmph, what a vicious woman."
Ting Nan pulled Aunt Song out of the ward, "Auntie, is Sister Lingling being discharged tomorrow?"
“Yes, Tingnan, just say what you want to say, I trust you.” Aunt Song was perceptive; she knew Tingnan must have something to say to her.
“Auntie, I have an idea, but it might not be very friendly to Sister-in-law Song, and besides, Brother Runze…”
"It's okay, listen to Nan. Don't worry, your brother Runze is adamant. As long as he's good to Lingling, we don't care about Wang Xiaolian."
"Auntie, Sister Lingling will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and then we'll use magic to defeat magic."
"Ting Nan, what kind of magic? How so?"
