Capítulo 13: Hidden
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At that time, she was still young. Because of her Second Aunt, she gradually distanced herself from Qian Fangfang and was unwilling to interact with her anymore. However, Qian Fangfang had always liked her sister. She would come to visit her whenever she was on vacation. Qian Duoduo was also very conflicted. On one hand, she was very dependent on her cousin, and on the other hand, her mother was always causing trouble.
Just as Qian Duoduo was immersed in her own thoughts, Qian Fangfang suddenly spoke again, "Sis, actually, I came to you today because I have something very important to discuss with you. I'm the only one who knows about this at the moment, so I don't want to tell my mom. I want you to help me come up with an idea."
Qian Fangfang was about to speak, but her tears fell first.
"Don't cry first. What exactly happened?" Only then did Qian Duoduo realize that something was not right with Qian Fangfang today.
"I... I'm pregnant." Qian Fangfang stammered for a long time before squeezing out these words.
Qian Duoduo was stunned. She looked at her sister in front of her in shock. "You're in love?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but Qian Fangfang cried even harder the moment she did. She sobbed and said, "No, I'm not. Last month, my colleagues had a gathering. They kept forcing me to drink in the KTV. I didn't drink much before I drank too much. When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a hotel room… Someone bullied me, and I don't even know who that person is…" At this point, Qian Fangfang's emotions completely collapsed. She lay on Qian Duoduo's shoulder and cried.
Qian Duoduo patted her shoulder, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Any girl would find it hard to accept. Not to mention Qian Fangfang, who had been obedient to Second Aunt since she was young.
"I don't have many friends, and I don't dare to tell my mother. Sister, what should I do?"
"Why didn't you call the police?"
When Qian Fangfang heard that she was going to call the police, she cried even harder. "I'm too afraid. I'm not afraid of my reputation being damaged, but my mother definitely won't be able to accept it. If she finds out that I've caused such a big scandal, she'll definitely kill me."
"Then what do you plan to do now? Do you plan to keep this child?"
"I... I can't knock it off. I knew that I was pregnant and wanted to have an abortion, but after the examination, the doctor told me that my uterus was too thin. If I abort this child, I might never get pregnant again. I've been hesitating for the past few days. I still want to give birth to it. After all, it's a life. I can't deprive it of the chance to be born into this world. And I'm also afraid that I won't be able to be a mother in the future."
Qian Duoduo was also at a loss. She didn't know what kind of path she should point out to the other party.
"Sis, only you can help me now. Can you do me a favor?"
"How can I help you?"
"I know you bought a small house. Can you rent it to me? I'll pay you the rent regularly, and then I'll tell my mom that you've moved into Brother-in-law's house after you got married. Your house is close to the courthouse where I work, so you lent it to me for free. My mother has always liked to take advantage of others. If I say that, she will definitely agree."
"But lying is not a long-term solution. Your stomach is getting bigger by the day, and you can't hide it."
"Let's take a step at a time."
Qian Duoduo thought about it for a while. She was willing to lend the house to a stranger, let alone her sister who grew up with her. Of course, she would not refuse. Furthermore, the situation was special, so she could only let Chen Shu suffer.
She handed the keys to the house to Qian Fangfang. "I've pre-charged the utility and gas bills for half a year. You should move in properly. As for the rent, we sisters don't talk about it. You just have to take care of yourself. If there's anything, just call me. I'm busy with work and might not be able to visit you often. Since you have made this decision, you should give birth to the child first. This is not your fault. Don't blame yourself."
"Sis, thank you." Qian Duoduo took the keys, her eyes already swollen from crying.
After the matter was settled, Qian Duoduo first sent Qian Fangfang to a taxi, then went home to pick up her violin and returned to the unit dormitory. In the car, she thought about how to tell Chen Shu about this for a long time. She wanted to call him to explain, but later she realized that she didn't have his phone number, so she could only send him a WeChat message to explain.
"Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. I originally agreed to lend you the house, but something happened at home, so I can't lend you the house. If you need to rent another house, I can give you an additional 500 yuan per month as a rental allowance."
