Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

The four of them were walking on the road, and Fan Qiheng suddenly asked:

"Grandma, what's going to happen to that baby? Her new baby."

Zhou Leng thought carefully and said:

"If the child is the man's only child, she will inherit the estate. Ling... the man seems to be quite rich. If the man dies and Qiumei is sentenced, the child may be raised by the man's parents. Her living environment and quality will depend on the personal qualities of her grandparents or relatives and friends who raise her. Why do you ask this?"

Zhou Leng thought that Fan Qiheng felt sorry for the child, after all, they were related by blood.

Fan Qiheng whispered:

"I think it would be better for her to die now, otherwise her future life will not be easy, but she will live a very tiring life when she grows up. Not all relatives are good people like grandpa and grandma. My brother and I are very lucky."

After Fan Qiheng said this, he felt that he had said something wrong. He turned his head nervously to look at his grandparents and asked:

"Do you think I'm vicious? I want her to die now."

The old couple shook their heads in unison.

Zhou Leng said: "Grandma knows you are worried that her growing up will be difficult and tough."

The four of them were silent for a long time again.

Fan Qitian said:

"I don't know if my brother is vicious or not, but will my mother be sentenced to death? Will she be beaten to death like what was shown on TV? Is that man dead?"

Fan Qiheng thought for a while and said:

"If that man died, she might be sentenced to death. The teacher said that intentional homicide is punishable by death. What do you think, grandma?"

Zhou Leng looked at the two children. She couldn't even be sure if they really had mental problems, especially Fan Qiheng. Was he having extreme thoughts because he had never had maternal love since childhood? Otherwise, how could he say such a thing so calmly at this moment? She answered:

"Go back and check the local news tonight. I think this incident will be reported."

When Fan Qitian heard what his grandmother said, he came over and hugged his brother and started crying. The other three people in the family all looked annoyed as if they were wondering why he was crying again.

A boy on the street was hugging a boy who was much shorter than him and crying:

"I don't have a mother anymore, wuwuwu...Brother...I was very sad last time and didn't want to see her anymore, but I'm still sad now. We can't see our mother anymore. The music teacher said that children without mothers are like weeds."

Fan Qiheng patted his brother's back helplessly, letting him rub his snot and tears onto his clothes. He said helplessly:

"Didn't grandma say she would take us to see her? She's not dead yet. It's too early for you to cry."

Fan Qitian sobbed and asked, "Really?"

Fan Qiheng replied:

"Really, but my brother soiled my clothes today, so I need to wash them."

Fan Qitian sobbed and said:

"Okay, I'll wash it for you, and you let me wipe it again." After he said that, he rubbed his tears and snot on his brother's clothes.

Fan Qitian finally calmed down, and the family of four slowly walked back home.

That evening.

The four of them sat neatly in front of the TV, watching today's city news.

The host's voice came from the TV:

A man was killed in a department store in this city. The murderer has been controlled by the police. According to the police report, the incident happened on July 7. A man was killed by his girlfriend because of an emotional dispute. There was also a one-month-old baby lying in a pool of blood and crying at the scene...

The four of them were speechless as they watched the chaotic scene in the news and the acquaintances being taken into the police car.

Although there is solid evidence that Qiumei committed murder, the process is cumbersome and she is currently being held in custody, with her family not being able to visit her.

After this incident, both children lost the mood to go to Kyoto for a stroll.

Finding some free time, Fan Datian told his son that the family of four would not go to Kyoto for the time being. When asked the reason, he told him about Qiumei.

There was a long silence on the phone. Fan Chao seemed to find it difficult to accept this matter all of a sudden. It was not that he could not accept that Qiumei was with someone else, but that she became a murderer, had an emotional entanglement with Ling Shen and killed him.

Fan Datian thought his son had not yet come to terms with it, so he said comfortingly:

"Don't think too much about it. After all, you're both divorced. You're still young. If you meet someone better, just find another one. This is a big blow to the two children. Don't work overtime during the Chinese New Year. You've paid off the money anyway. Come back for the New Year. The two children miss you."

Fan Chao listened to his father's nagging and said:

"I know. I'm going back home for the New Year today, and I don't plan to go back to Kyoto again. I've saved some money, and I still want to go home to be with you, Dad. I understand now that nothing is more important than you."

Fan Datian was not used to his son's sudden sentimentality. He coughed twice before saying:

"It's okay if you can think positively. It's good to come back. You can't find a good girl in Kyoto. You can go home and find someone who understands you."

Fan Chao hummed softly.

The trip to Kyoto was canceled during the conversation between father and son.

A few days later, the old couple of the Qiu family, whom Zhou Leng hadn't seen for a long time, called him.

When the call was connected, it was Qiu's father's hoarse voice. He said:

"My dear relatives, have you heard about Qiumei's story? She was deceived by a scumbag and died together with him because she was so angry. But the child she left behind is the blood of the Qiu family. The Ling family will not treat that child well. After all, it was Qiumei who made them lose their son."

Zhou Leng replied:

"We are no longer relatives. Your family's affairs have nothing to do with us."

The other party said:

"Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you today. Qiumei is the mother of two children in the Fan family after all. We have already applied to the police for a mentally strong certificate. I hope you can also come out to testify and prove that Qiumei had a mental illness before."

Zhou Leng said:

"Perjury is illegal. At least Qiumei was mentally normal when she was at our house. There is nothing we can do to help. Our family is already suffering enough. Don't contact us in the future. You haven't said you would come to see the child in the past few years, but now you are using the child as a bridge to communicate your feelings."

Zhou Leng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

A month later, even though Zhou Leng did not receive a call from Qiu's father, she saw on the news that Qiu Mei was actually diagnosed with a mental illness. She was not sentenced to death, but was sent to a special mental hospital for imprisonment.

Later, in order to reassure the two children, Zhou Leng went to inquire a few more times and heard that the girl was finally awarded to Qiu's parents, and the child also shared Ling Shen's inheritance.

It seemed that the Ling family didn't want to raise the daughter of this murderer at all, and were even more afraid that the daughter would inherit her mother's mental disorder, so the Qiu family got custody of the child.

Father Qiu bought a house in the city as he wished, but he never thought about his daughter who would spend the rest of her life in confusion, his granddaughter who had experienced a tragedy since childhood, and his two grandsons whom he had not seen for a long time.
