Chapter 380 The Final Calm

Zhou Chengzhi and Jiang Zhizhi chatted in the study for more than half an hour.

Fang Hua, holding the child, stood in the living room, worried: "What's wrong with Zhou Chengzhi this time? Will he say something harsh to Zhizhi?"

Zhou Chengyu reassured her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. How could my brother say anything harsh to Zhizhi? He would definitely advise her not to go."

Fang Hua supported Shang Shang, who was wriggling in her arms, and sighed, "Sometimes, women are quite pitiful. After having children, they have to take care of so many things. But men can just walk away and do whatever they want."

Zhou Chengyu chuckled: "Sister-in-law, you are truly the best mother-in-law I have ever met. You always think from your daughter-in-law's perspective."

Fang Hua rolled her eyes: "Did I say something wrong? Isn't that how it is?"

Zhou Chengyu quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, what you said makes sense, but why would Zhizhi suddenly want to sign up for the medical team?"

Fang Hua could guess a little: "Haven't you been listening to the radio lately? I think something's wrong. Look, your older brother is going out too. Something must be going wrong over there. Is Zhizhi worried about Xiye, so she's going over there?"

Zhou Chengyu thought it made some sense: "That could really be the case. We definitely can't go then. What will happen to the two children if there's any danger?"

As they were discussing, Jiang Zhizhi came out of Zhou Chengzhi's office, smiling as she went over to tease little Zhou Ji, and then spun Shang Shang around in her arms.

Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi looked relaxed, Fang Hua was relieved, but still tentatively asked, "What did your dad say to you? Zhizhi, you need to think this through. Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji need their parents right now."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded with a smile: "I've made myself clear. I did act impulsively. I just had a good talk with my dad, and I feel that he's right. I can't change the overall situation by myself."

Previously, she had never thought that she would change anything through Zhou Chengzhi.

It was during dinner that she suddenly changed her mind.

And just now, chatting with Zhou Chengzhi, I discovered that his views on the situation in southern Yunnan are from an even higher level.

It suddenly occurred to her that she should let the decision-makers change these things, instead of them running around on the ground but not being able to change anything.

Finally, Zhou Chengzhi even took out a map and studied it with her.

It seemed that Zhou Chengzhi was testing how much she knew, but in fact, she was deliberately using this opportunity to tell her about the hidden dangers on the border, and that if they were not stopped in time, they would become uncontrollable.

Fang Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Zhizhi had changed her mind: "You must have been thinking too much because you didn't sleep well yesterday. Get some rest. I'll go to the hospital with you to see your mother tomorrow."

...

The next afternoon, Bian Suxi was transferred from the special care ward to a regular ward. She looked weak, but her complexion was gradually recovering. In particular, after seeing Jiang Zhizhi, her spirits improved considerably.

Lying in the hospital bed, he held Jiang Zhizhi's hand tightly, reluctant to let go: "Thank you for your hard work this time."

Shang Shiying smiled from the side: "You've worked so hard. I've told you so many times since you woke up. She's your daughter, isn't it only right that you do these things?"

Bian Suxi looked at Jiang Zhizhi and smiled, "No, it's my duty no matter how many times I say it..."

Jiang Zhizhi gently patted her hand: "Mom, don't overthink it. Just rest and take care of yourself. You'll be able to see Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji when you come home from the hospital."

Shang Shiying smiled and agreed, "That's right, you should get better soon and go back to see the two children. I originally wanted to bring them to the hospital for you to see, but then I thought there were too many germs in the hospital, so you'll have to be discharged and go back home to see them."

When the two children were mentioned, Bian Suxi perked up again: "No need to bring them. There are too many germs in the hospital, and the children are delicate. Don't let them get infected."

"I've seen the photos, and the two children are really good-looking."

Shang Shiying laughed: "They look much better than in the photos. The two children are very smart and look different from other children."

Bian Suxi is even more excited: "I will work hard to recover so that I can go back and see my children as soon as possible."

Fang Hua came over with chicken soup and offered some words of comfort, telling Bian Suxi to take good care of herself.

Finally, they talked about the two children, which made Bian Suxi even more hopeful.

...

On the day Bian Suxi was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Zhizhi also took a day off to accompany Bian Suxi to Shang Shiying's house. Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu also took Shang Shang and Xiao Zhouji there.

Bian Suxi's wounds hadn't healed, and she was still weak and couldn't hold the baby. She could only lean against the headboard and look at the baby in Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu's arms, reaching out to touch Shang Shang's little hand and then reaching out to touch Xiao Zhouji's little hand.

The two little ones initially resisted being touched, but after some coaxing, they giggled and allowed Bian Suxi to touch them.

Shang Shang even stretched out her little arms, wanting Bian Suxi to hug her, pouting her little mouth: "Hug, hug..."

Bian Suxi smiled and said, "That won't do. Grandma isn't feeling well right now and can't hold you. How about Grandma holds you when she's feeling better?"

Then he looked at Shang Shiying and said, "Could you bring me the two wooden boxes from my suitcase? They are gifts I prepared for Shang Shang and Xiao Zhouji."

Shang Shiying went to get them. The two wooden boxes were not big, like the boxes that were later used to hold bracelets. They were made of rosewood and looked very exquisite.

Bian Suxi pointed to Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji: "No need to look, give one to each of them as a gift from Grandma."

Everyone present tacitly knew that these things were hidden by Bian Suxi back then.

Although things haven't been very tense in the last two years, it still has an impact if people find out.

When Shang Shiying handed it to Fang Hua, Fang Hua took it and handed it directly to Jiang Zhizhi: "You keep it for them first. They are still young, so don't lose it."

Jiang Zhizhi casually put it in her bag, and only remembered it when she went to bed that night. She quickly took out two wooden boxes from her bag, very curious about what was inside.

Upon opening the box, just as she had guessed, there were two exquisite jade pendants inside. The carving was delicate, and the jade was warm and lustrous. Even someone like her who knew nothing about jade could tell that the two pieces of jade were of very high quality.

Moreover, given its age, it will become quite valuable in the future.

Jiang Zhizhi studied it carefully for a while, then put it away in the cabinet.

...

A week after Bian Suxi was discharged from the hospital, she was able to walk around a little, so she and Shang Shiying went for a walk to the Zhou family home to see the two children.

Because of the two children, they also became familiar with the people in the compound.

Everyone was shocked when they learned that she was Shang Shiyi's wife, but they were all smart people and eventually figured out Bian Suxi's true identity.

They also learned that Jiang Zhizhi was the child of Shang Shiyi and Bian Suxi.

However, everyone chose to remain silent, and apart from playing with the children, they never talked about this topic.

Although the storm has passed, it's better for everyone to remain unaware.

Life in Beijing is peaceful, but conflicts have already broken out on the border.

Jiang Zhizhi was shocked after hearing the broadcast; the conflict had come ahead of schedule!

Historical records show that the conflict only began in November, and it's not even July yet, yet it's already reached a fever pitch...
