Chapter 9 Sorry, Thank You, Trouble

"sorry!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for your help!"

In a daze, Jiang Yingying still heard these three sentences, and a tear ran across the corner of her eye.

She thought: I should say sorry, thank you, and also, I am the one who caused the trouble.

"Wife, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'll get up and take a look. Why aren't you sleeping yet, patient?"

"I woke up. I was a light sleeper."

"Go to sleep quickly! I'll take care of Yingying and Yangyang."

"I'll give you a flashlight, but you don't need it. I told you not to. It might wake up Yingying and Yangyang!"

"It's okay, I'll block it so you can see clearly and it won't be too bright to shine on them."

"Old Jiang..."

"Wife, what's wrong?" Jiang Chao asked, "Did Jiang Yang wet the bed?"

"No, that's not the case. Old Jiang, Yingying seemed to be crying. I wonder if she had a nightmare..."

Jiang Yingying's hands froze under the quilt. She dared not move and tried to maintain natural breathing.

She felt a hand gently wiping away the tears on her face, and Jiang Yingying could clearly feel her heart beating twice.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're injured, don't get out of bed..."

"It's okay..." After a moment, Jiang Yingying could sense that Jiang Chao was standing at the head of her bed.

"She must have been frightened. Look, her brows were furrowed when she slept." Jiang Chao's distressed voice rang out in the room. "It's my fault as the eldest brother. I've been away from home all year round and failed to take good care of her and grandma..."

"Old Jiang..." Xu Zhishu sighed, not knowing how to persuade him. She said, "Don't dwell on the past. Now that Yingying has arrived at the military region, let's take good care of her together."

"Excuse me, wife."

"We are a family, Yingying is also my sister, why are you talking to me about this trouble?"

"Jiang Chao, let me tell you, even if we quarrel or fight, I won't be willing to say a word to Yingying..."

"No, Comrade Xu Zhishu, you can't treat them differently..."

"What's wrong with me treating you differently, Jiang Chao? Yingying is so nice, she's so sweet and soft, she cooks delicious food for me, and she speaks so gently. I accompanied you back to your hometown and fell in love with her at first sight!"

"No……"

"Okay, stop talking. Don't disturb Yingying and Yangyang. I want to sleep too."

"No, wife, I am also a patient. Don't you want to see how I am and whether I am feeling unwell?"

"You're fine, no need to look."

…

The couple's whispers vaguely reached Jiang Yingying's ears. She curled her lips, revealed a bright smile, and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Yingying stayed in the hospital for three days. The injury on her throat looked scary, and her arms, knees, and body had red and swollen wounds from bumps and bruises, and she choked on water.

Jiang Chao and Xu Zhishu were worried and refused to believe that she was okay, so they insisted on keeping her in the hospital for another three days.

In addition, Jiang Yingying was inconvenient to speak, so she compromised helplessly.

But as soon as she was able to speak short sentences, she strongly requested to be discharged from the hospital.

Before Jiang Yingying was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Chao looked at her with a very complicated look that she couldn't describe.

It seems that there is envy hidden in it.

envious? ? ?

Jiang Yingying looked at Jiang Chao, as if he was really a little envious of her being discharged from the hospital. No, not just as if, but really.

Because her eldest brother started to act like a spoiled brat, "Wife, Yingying, how about I be discharged from the hospital together?"

"You guys think it's pretty good too, don't you?"

"I want to be discharged from the hospital. I've been lying in bed every day and I'm almost rusty."

"Please take me with you. Please take me with you. Don't leave me alone in the hospital..."

"Okay, okay?"

…

"This..." Jiang Yingying didn't dare to look at Jiang Chao's eyes. She always felt that if she didn't agree to him in this situation, she would seem a little guilty.

"Don't even think about it. Just stay in the hospital and recover."

"But, Dad, you are not alone. I am still here with you."

After Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang finished speaking, Jiang Chao looked hurt and looked at them in disbelief.

"I'm a little sad." Jiang Chao said, "You guys go, all go, and leave me here alone."

Jiang Yingying looked at Xu Zhishu, who sighed helplessly and said, "Jiang Chao, be good, your injury hasn't healed yet. Yingying and I will go back to clean up the house, and Jiang Yang will stay here with you."

"We will be back before lunch. Besides, you are still in the hospital, so we will definitely come to take care of you."

"Listen to the doctor, you'll have to stay for a while."

"Stop messing around. If you're hungry, let Yangyang get you something to eat. Yingying and I will go back first."

"Okay then. Go slowly and carefully on your way back. Don't forget that I'm waiting for you here."

Jiang Yang, who was sitting beside the bed, waved to Xu Zhishu and the others obediently, "Mom, aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Dad."

…

After leaving the ward, Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu looked at each other, then looked away.

Xu Zhishu couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you a little uncomfortable?" She said, "Your brother is just a little vulnerable in private and when he's injured. Once he's healed, he'll be tough again in front of those soldiers."

After hearing what Xu Zhishu said, Jiang Yingying couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind to my brother. You are so kind." She said, "In my memory, since my parents passed away, my brother has always been the one who silently protected me and grandma, but this time when he came here, I saw my brother's childish side."

"Sister-in-law, you must be very good to my brother." Jiang Yingying concluded.

Xu Zhishu couldn't hide the smile on her face. She took Jiang Yingying's arm and said, "Your brother treats me better. You see, every time I yell at him, he never gets angry with me."

"As long as he is at home, he will definitely do the housework and make me happy when I am in a bad mood..."

…

Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu went back home, talking about Jiang Chao all the way.

Achoo, achoo! In the ward, Jiang Chao kept sneezing.

"Dad, you're not going to be sick, are you?"

Jiang Chao pulled the corner of his mouth, "What are you talking about? I was sick a long time ago, otherwise why would my father and I be in the hospital?"

"Hmm... Dad, what you said seems to make sense."

…

The house that Jiang Chao and Xu Zhishu were assigned after their marriage was a bungalow, located not far from the foot of the mountain. It had a small courtyard in front and back, three rooms and a small woodshed.

There were all kinds of things piled in the woodshed, and the firewood was neatly stacked in the corner of the front yard.

"From now on, you will live here. If there is anything you want to change or add, just tell us. You're welcome. We are a family."
