Chapter 460 Not getting married is being a scoundrel

Jiang Zhizhi was startled and told Fang Hua and the others to stay home and watch the children while she and Zhou Xiye went over to check on them.

Shang Shiying was already pacing anxiously as Shang Xingzhou rushed to the Li family's house.

Shen Luojia leaned against Li Simin's chest, her face pale. Li Simin held her with one arm and kept wiping her sweat with the other.

Because of the intense pain, Shen Luojia kept her eyes closed, her lips were deathly pale, her face was ashen, and large beads of sweat were dripping down her cheeks.

And so, she didn't utter a single word.

Jiang Zhizhi flipped her eyelids over, took her pulse, and finally began acupuncture.

Shang Shiying then dared to ask, "What's wrong with this girl? She was fine all afternoon, and even ate a big bowl of noodles for dinner. Not long after she finished eating, her stomach started to hurt."

As Jiang Zhizhi turned the needle, she said, "She's about to have her period. The pain is caused by adenomyosis, and it can be excruciating."

Shang Shiying was surprised. She knew that some people would have abdominal pain during their period, but she had never seen it hurt this badly.

And it will hurt earlier.

Seeing that Li Simin hadn't spoken, Jiang Zhizhi was clearly very nervous. She smiled and reassured her, "It's okay. I'll give her acupuncture for a while later, and it will help."

Li Simin was puzzled: "Can't it be cured completely?"

Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "There's nothing we can do. She'll be with her for the rest of her life. You can tell from how much pain she's in every time just by looking at how she's enduring it."

Ask the aunt to help me brew some jujube tea.

Shang Shiying suddenly thought of something: "Zhizhi, will this affect having children?"

Li Simin sighed helplessly, "Mom..."

Shang Shiying glared at him and said, "I was just asking. What are you thinking?"

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "It won't affect anything, it's just that I suffer a lot during those few days every month."

Jiang Zhizhi's acupuncture was really effective. After a few minutes, Shen Luojia's complexion improved a lot. She moved her eyelids, opened her eyes, and sat up abruptly when she saw a group of people surrounding her.

Shang Shiying smiled and ruffled her hair: "Oh, you're finally looking more energetic. You scared us to death."

Shen Luojia was still confused. Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Luojia, let's go to the restroom first."

Shen Luojia understood, so she quickly got up and followed Jiang Zhizhi upstairs.

Watching Shen Luojia's retreating figure, Shang Shiying suddenly said, "Pick a date and get engaged as soon as possible."

The topic jumped around so quickly that Li Simin couldn't keep up.

"mom……"

Shang Shiying glared at him: "What mother? Don't tell me you need to cultivate feelings. You dared to kiss Luo Jia in the compound. Many people saw it and said they were hugging and kissing so tightly they couldn't separate."

Li Simin: "..."

This rumor is too exaggerated. He was just trying to calm Shen Luojia down.

Shang Shiying snorted coldly: "A man should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. Don't go around saying that our Li family doesn't know manners and that we're just taking advantage of Luo Jia's ignorance to bully her at home."

"What if she gets pregnant before marriage? People in the hospital will talk about Luojia even more."

"Not getting married is just being a scoundrel!"

Bian Suxi glanced at Shang Shiying and nodded in agreement: "That's right. Luo Jia has been living in our house for some time now. She's a young lady who's not related to us at all. People outside are bound to gossip about her."

"If you two get married, wouldn't you be able to kiss each other freely?"

Li Simin felt speechless and smiled, "Mom, Aunt, don't worry, I didn't say I wouldn't marry Luo Jia. We'll get engaged once Uncle Jiang's report comes out."

Shang Shiying clicked her tongue twice: "Your Uncle Jiang said that he wanted to cry when he saw Luo Jia, so there's no doubt about it. If you wait for them to recognize each other, Jiang Zhenhua probably won't even let you get engaged."

Li Simin was taken aback: "Why?"

Bian Suxi glanced at Zhou Xiye and said, "After being separated for so many years, we finally found him. We'll definitely keep him at home for a couple more years."

Zhou Xiye didn't dare to utter a sound, and lowered his head to drink his tea.

Li Simin glanced at Zhou Xiye and instantly understood, smiling, "Uncle Jiang probably won't. He's not far away, and if he wants to see him, he can see him often."

Shang Shiying snorted: "You wish! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't want her to get married. Even though she's twenty-five, I'd still like to keep her by my side for a few more years. It doesn't matter if she doesn't get married."

"Moreover, if Luo Jia is like this, Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying will be even more reluctant to part with her."

If Shen Luojia were a normal child, they wouldn't be so upset, but Luojia's situation makes them feel even more guilty and remorseful.

Li Simin frowned. If he were to get engaged to Shen Luojia now, he felt like he was bullying a child.

She doesn't understand anything; it seems like she's being tricked into marriage.

Shang Shiying knew exactly what Li Simin was thinking: "Just remember that you will be responsible for Luojia for the rest of your life! Hurry up and submit your marriage application, anyway, the review will take some time."

Li Simin remained silent, which sounded like taking advantage of someone in distress.

Shang Shiying's eyes lit up, and she came up with another idea: "How about we tell others that we're getting engaged? We can't let the people in the compound gossip."

...

Jiang Zhizhi was worried that Shen Luojia wouldn't know how to use toilet paper, but she found that Shen Luojia did it very well, folding the toilet paper very neatly.

"Did Grandma teach you this too?"

Shen Luojia nodded: "Grandma said that we need to be hygienic here so we won't get sick, otherwise our stomachs will hurt even more."

Jiang Zhizhi watched as Shen Luojia adjusted her pants in front of her without any embarrassment, and sighed inwardly, thinking how much her grandmother had taught her with such care and effort.

Shen Luojia's stomach pain had subsided, and she felt much better: "It always hurts so much. I wish it didn't happen."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "I'll come to give you acupuncture often in the future, and you'll gradually get better. Remember not to eat cold food."

Shen Luojia nodded, her expression suddenly turning melancholy: "I miss Grandma."

Jiang Zhizhi's eyes inexplicably stung. How could she possibly accept the thought of her grandmother passing away?

Deep down, she secretly hoped that Shen Qingping could fool Shen Luojia for the rest of her life.

Shen Luojia's mood improved quickly. After going downstairs, she drank some jujube tea and ate two pastries. In a good mood, she pulled Li Simin to read a book.

...

During the days of waiting for the results, Jiang Zhenhua went to the forensic department almost every day to ask, hoping to see the results as soon as possible.

Then he went for a walk around the compound to see Shen Luojia, then to see Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang, before rushing home to be with Song Wanying.

Song Wanying's blood test results surprised Jiang Zhizhi once again; there was nothing wrong with her blood.

She even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with her diagnosis.

Unfortunately, Jin Huaiying is no longer here, and she doesn't know who to ask.

After getting off work, I didn't even have time to spend with my two children. Instead, I started flipping through all sorts of medical books I had borrowed from the library, many of them ancient books.

However, no similar cases could be found.

During dinner, Fang Hua sighed, "Xi Ye went to work and won't be back tonight, so the house feels much quieter."

Zhou Chengzhi, however, did not think so: "It's not far, and I can come back once a week. Isn't that good? Didn't you say that I come back every day and it's annoying to see me?"

Fang Hua sneered: "That's you. You can stay away from home every day if you want."

Zhou Chengzhi glared defiantly: "I don't know who it is, but when they make dumplings at home, they have to call and ask if I'm coming home to eat them."

Fang Hua glared at him: "I'm asking you to see if you're going home, so I can keep an eye on preparing the dough and filling."

After exchanging a few words, Zhou Chengzhi suddenly shared some gossip: "Recently, there's been talk about insects that can cure diseases, claiming that they can suck out toxins from the body."

Jiang Zhizhi was taken aback: "Insects?"

Zhou Chengzhi nodded: "They say it's some kind of Miao medicine from southern Yunnan, and many people believe it and even invite their families to come for treatment."

Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily connected the poison of Song Wanying and Shen Luojia with the Gu poison in Yunnan.
