Chapter 434

Ten days later, Qiu Linghua died. Xu Qinghuan was actually surprised that she had managed to hold on for that long. When she had examined Qiu Linghua that day, she had indeed discovered a lump on the patient’s head, but it was not a fatal injury. Xu Qinghuan would never help Sun Laizi lie; Qiu Linghua’s primary affliction was a stroke brought on by hypertension. Strokes are closely tied to emotional states, and it was evident that Qiu Linghua had not been indifferent when she saw Sun Laizi’s son scalded so severely. As to how much of her reaction was genuine heartache for the child and how much was fear for her son, only she knew. No one in the production brigade felt any sympathy for Qiu Linghua’s death. Many even felt it was for the best, as it would lighten the burden on Sun Laizi. As for the brigade members who had witnessed the state of Sun Shuangyang after he was scalded, there wasn’t one who didn’t curse Qiu Linghua, saying she got what she deserved.
