Transmigrated to the 1960s, Li Chu only wanted to lay low and live a safe, peaceful life.
...That afternoon, Li Chu had just gotten home from get off work when Wang Ziwen came over.
"Brother-in-law, just say what's on your mind. We don't need to keep things so secret between us."
Li Chu felt a little helpless and amused. He was rolling out noodles in the kitchen, while Wang Ziwen kept pacing back and forth at the kitchen door. It was obvious that he had something on his mind, but he didn't say anything, which made Li Chu a little dizzy.
Just then, Li Qin arrived with Xiao Yu. Upon hearing her brother's words, Li Qin first rolled her eyes at her husband, then said, "Your brother-in-law wants you to help someone with their medical needs, but he's a little embarrassed to ask."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm a doctor, and although I don't see patients in outpatient clinics anymore, I'll still participate in consultations if needed!"
"Sister, come quick!" As soon as Li Chu finished speaking, Ding Qiunan came out of the living room, saw her sister at the kitchen door, and called her over.
Li Qin looked back at her sister-in-law, then said to Wang Ziwen, "Alright, stop dawdling. Tell Xiao Chu about the situation. He knows whether or not he can go see her."
After saying that, Li Qin pulled her grandson toward the living room.
Seeing that the conversation had already started, Wang Ziwen didn't hesitate and directly told his brother-in-law about Lao Zhu's situation.
After listening, Li Chu thought for a moment, but he didn't stop kneading the dough.
"Brother-in-law, you said your colleague said his daughter-in-law has had three miscarriages?"
"Yes, that's what he said."
"Did he say when each time it happened? For example, when she was newly pregnant, or when it had been a long time?"
“Hmm…” Wang Ziwen frowned and thought for a moment: “No, he didn’t tell me that. He just said that the doctor said his daughter-in-law has some kind of habit or something. His daughter-in-law has been to almost every hospital in Beijing, but it still doesn’t work.”
"Okay then, brother-in-law, tomorrow, have his son and daughter-in-law come to the hospital in the morning and go directly to the administration building at the back to find me. I'll take a look at them. If they come and I'm not there, just have them wait."
"Okay, I'll call him later."
"Brother-in-law, I'll say it again: we're all family, so just say what's on your mind. If you do this again, I really won't stand up for you."
"No problem, I'll definitely speak up next time! My main concern is that you're not seeing patients anymore, you're only seeing your superiors, and I was worried that it might cause you some inconvenience."
Li Chu poured the kneaded dough onto the cutting board, then turned to Wang Ziwen and said, "Brother-in-law, the main reason I'm not taking patients right now is because there are too many emergencies. Sometimes when the phone rings, I have to leave immediately. What if I have patients on hand at the time? Should I leave or not?"
So to avoid trouble, I've decided not to see any more patients. However, I will still participate in regular in-hospital consultations, so please don't feel any need to hide anything from me in the future.
My Healing Game
"Okay, Xiao Chu, that's enough."
"Brother-in-law, could you peel some garlic and scallions for me?"
"Okay!"
In the living room, Xiaoyu was nestled on the sofa watching TV, while Li Qin and Ding Qiunan sat to the side. She looked at the pile of things her sister-in-law had brought out and felt a little dizzy.
"Qiu Nan, why are you making so much jewelry?"
"Keep them, what else can you do with them? These three sets are for you."
As she spoke, Ding Qiunan picked out three sets from the box and placed them in front of Li Qinwan.
Li Qin looked at her sister-in-law, then at the three sets of jewelry in front of her, and pointed at them, asking, "Qiu Nan, what does this mean?"
"These are for you, sister. What else is there to say? Li Chu's idea is that you get one set, Jia Dong gets one set, and Jia Yuan gets one set. Of course, Jia Yuan is in school now, so we won't give her one yet. You can keep them for her and give them to her when she graduates and gets married. These will be our family's dowry."
"No, no, no, how can this be allowed? Good heavens, I'm living in the house you bought for me, and now you're taking so much jewelry from me? What would that make me?"
“Sister, what are you saying? If it weren’t for your and brother-in-law’s care, it’s uncertain whether Li Chu would even exist now, let alone whether I could live such a good life. Now that we have the ability, what’s wrong with repaying your and brother-in-law’s kindness in raising him?”
“Qiu Nan, I am his older sister. An elder sister is like a mother. These are things I should do.”
"Sister, there's no such thing as 'it's my duty.' You were already married back then. According to the older generation, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. Even if you didn't care about him, no one could say anything. But you and my brother-in-law took such good care of him, which allowed me to have such a wonderful man. It's only right that we repay you in kind now."
"Okay, okay, I didn't mean to say anything. I only said one thing, 'Look at your little mouth, slurping and slurping,' and I'll stop now!"
"Hey, sis, you should put it back and lock it first."
Li Qin took the towel Ding Qiunan handed her, wrapped up all the peach jewelry, and then stood up to put it back.
"By the way, Qiu Nan, has Xiao Chu prepared anything for your family?"
"Don't worry, sis, everything's ready!"
"That's good. I was just worried that brat would do something stupid!"
Ding Qiunan sighed silently in her heart. Her man was not the kind of person to be confused. He would never leave her family out of the way when preparing anything. He was more thoughtful than his daughter.
After finishing her meal, Wang Yueyue was about to go back to her room to continue studying. The college entrance examination was just over two months away, and she was making the most of every minute to study hard, because it would be a huge embarrassment if she failed.
"Yueyue, don't rush back to the house, come here."
Wang Yueyue walked over and sat down next to Ding Qiunan.
"Hey Yueyue, studying is important, but your health is important too. I saw you studying until midnight the other day. You can't stay up too late anymore, you have class the next day."
"I understand, Qiu Nan's mom. I'm just a little worried about what will happen if I don't get into university."
"Don't worry, Yueyue, don't put so much pressure on yourself. You're a good student, so there's no need to be nervous. Just relax and you'll definitely get good grades."
At this point, Ding Qiunan took out jewelry wrapped in a towel from her pocket.
"Open it and see what this is."
Wang Yueyue glanced at Ding Qiunan, then at the towel in her hand, pursed her lips, and finally reached out to open it.
Wow, so much jewelry!
"Isn't Yueyue pretty?"
"Hmm, beautiful!" Wang Yueyue reached out and picked up the necklace, looking at the heart-shaped pendant.
"These will be given to you later."
"Given to...for me? Why would you give it to me?"
"You're our daughter-in-law, who else would we give you to if not you?"
Wang Yueyue's face turned as red as a red apple.
"Aunt Qiu Nan, what are you saying!" The little girl was a little embarrassed.
"What, Yueyue, don't you want to be our family's daughter-in-law?" Ding Qiunan continued to tease her.
"No, I'm definitely going to marry Brother Xuan!" Wang Yueyue suddenly became anxious.
