PFC Chapter 149 What the Daughter Said
Chapter 149 What the Daughter Said
Li Wanqing's eyes were bloodshot. Just thinking about the suffering Nuonuo had endured made her heart ache as if it were being stabbed with needles.
Cheng Baichuan patted her shoulder, his expression very serious. "Wanqing, I know Mom wasn't good to you before, but you shouldn't say things like that."
Li Wanqing forcefully pushed his hand away, "Don't you believe what I'm saying?"
Cheng Baichuan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
It's impossible to make him believe something like "past life"!
But he really couldn't explain Li Wanqing's hatred for Qin Qianqian and her mother.
Li Wanqing smiled bitterly, "Cheng Baichuan, have you ever thought about what would happen to Nuonuo if I didn't make it and died?"
How would your mother treat her?
Cheng Baichuan was startled and stepped forward to coax her, "What do you mean by dead? You're perfectly fine now, aren't you? Our daughter is fine too."
Li Wanqing raised her hand to stop him from getting closer, "You still don't believe what I'm saying."
Cheng Baichuan fell silent for a moment. He wanted to believe it, but the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't bring himself to say something against his conscience.
Li Wanqing was extremely disappointed. "What would happen if I told you?"
"They'll torture me to death, then they'll sell Nono, Nono's legs will be broken by human traffickers, and she'll be forced to beg on the streets..."
Cheng Baichuan stepped forward to stop her, "Wanqing, stop talking. All of this is just your imagination. We are all fine now."
Cheng Baichuan was surprised that Li Wanqing would bring up such a thing so readily, which showed that she truly hated the Cheng family.
Otherwise, there's no need to curse yourself and your daughter like that.
Li Wanqing slapped Cheng Baichuan's hand away, "You think it's all fake?"
"Wanqing, let's not talk about this anymore," Cheng Baichuan said evasively.
Li Wanqing snorted coldly, "Do you know why I sent Nuonuo away?"
“You don’t want our heated argument to frighten Nuonuo,” Cheng Baichuan said.
Li Wanqing shook her head, "Because everything I just said is true, it's something Nuonuo went through, and I don't want her to relive it."
Cheng Baichuan was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"
Li Wanqing's expression was sorrowful, but her tone was filled with deep sarcasm. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that everything I just said was told to me by Nono."
Cheng Baichuan opened his mouth to refute, but Li Wanqing didn't give him the chance and directly revealed the fact that Nuonuo had been reborn.
"No, impossible?" Cheng Baichuan rationally thought it was impossible, but in his heart he couldn't help but believe it.
Li Wanqing wouldn't be so emotional if it hadn't actually happened.
"Even so, Nuonuo is still young and can't even speak clearly. How do you know that?" Cheng Baichuan seized on the loophole and asked.
Li Wanqing smiled sadly, "Perhaps God wanted to help my daughter and me. I suddenly could hear Nuonuo's inner thoughts."
"Cheng Baichuan, I'm asking you this: do you believe the Cheng family, or do you believe me and Nuonuo?"
Cheng Baichuan said without hesitation, "Of course I trust you."
Between his wife and daughters and the Cheng family, he definitely trusted the former more.
Moreover, if Li Wanqing really has an accident, the Cheng family will definitely not treat Nuonuo well.
They didn't even tell him about Nono's existence!
During the nearly two years he was in a coma, they didn't send him a single letter.
"In that case, you still want to protect Liu Yufen?" Li Wanqing asked coldly.
Cheng Baichuan reached out and pulled the agitated Li Wanqing to sit down. "I don't mean to protect her, but this matter is bad for your reputation."
"After all, it's you who will be living in the military region long-term, not her."
"I don't care!" Li Wanqing knew Cheng Baichuan was worried, but she was still unwilling to give up.
“You may not care, but what about Nuonuo? You should at least think about Nuonuo,” Cheng Baichuan advised again.
Li Wanqing was slightly taken aback. If she had sent Liu Yufen to the security office, she wouldn't care what others said about her.
Nono, that won't do!
She is still young, but she is quite ambitious.
Moreover, when she grows up, people will always use this to criticize her, which will definitely have a greater impact on her.
Cheng Baichuan noticed that her attitude had softened, and his voice became gentler.
"This matter needs to be handled slowly; it can't be rushed."
Li Wanqing understood Cheng Baichuan's words, but she couldn't calm down when she thought about the suffering Nuonuo had endured.
“I hope you can properly interrogate that aunt you arrested in Shou County before.”
“She’s a human trafficker, and Liu Yufen had contact with her, so there must be a connection.”
“As long as Liu Yufen is related to her, then it is perfectly legitimate to deal with her.”
Previously, Li Wanqing had not told Cheng Baichuan about this matter, and the "aunt" had failed to recognize Liu Yufen.
So she never brought it up again.
Now that everything that needed to be said has been said, there's nothing left to hide.
With Cheng Baichuan's methods, it shouldn't be difficult to get that "aunt" to confess about Liu Yufen!
Cheng Baichuan finally understood why Li Wanqing had specifically mentioned that human trafficker back then.
It turns out that she was already planning to take revenge on the Cheng family back then.
"Leave this to me," Cheng Baichuan said with a serious expression.
Li Wanqing took a deep breath and felt the weight on her heart gradually lighten.
“There’s one more thing,” Li Wanqing said with a gloomy expression. “Nuonuo said that Liu Yufen was the one who instructed the human traffickers to break her leg.”
"I suspect this is related to your second sister's inability to have children. Have you heard anything about it?"
Upon hearing Li Wanqing's words, Cheng Baichuan's expression immediately changed. "Nuonuo really said that?"
Li Wanqing nodded. "I couldn't have misheard."
Cheng Baichuan's eyes were filled with turbulent emotions and a fierce aura, giving off an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Li Wanqing was not from Shou County, so naturally she was unaware of the extremely insidious rumors circulating there.
If a family couldn't have children, they would break the legs of the girls in the family and leave them to fend for themselves.
Such things were common before the war, but later, as the world became chaotic and many people couldn't even afford to raise their children, this method gradually fell out of use.
However, he liked to wander around the village when he was a child and heard a lot of such stories.
So when Li Wanqing mentioned it, he knew Liu Yufen's plan.
In order to get her second sister pregnant, she set her sights on Nuonuo.
If Li Wanqing is truly gone, then everything she said could very well happen.
"Do you know the reason?" Li Wanqing asked urgently.
Cheng Baichuan glanced at her, and finally recounted the whole story.
"How dare she?" Li Wanqing clenched her fists tightly, her whole body trembling with anger.
Cheng Baichuan held her hand and comforted her, "Wife, don't be impulsive."
Li Wanqing struggled to rush towards the woodshed, but Cheng Baichuan held her tightly.
"Honey, think about Nuonuo. Right now, she only has you and me."
"If you make a mistake in a moment of impulse, she will have no one to rely on anymore."
