In her past life, Zhao Zhenzhen's military officer husband made a mistake, dying and bringing shame to the entire family.
To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhen did the hardes...
When the old lady collapsed, a hint of panic flashed in Liang Xiaohe and Zhang Mei's eyes.
"You all saw it, I didn't touch this old lady with a single finger," Liang Xiaohe defended herself.
“Yes, yes! It’s just that the old lady has a bad temper. We didn’t say anything offensive,” Zhang Mei chimed in, trying to defend herself.
The people around remained silent.
The old lady was almost driven mad by Liang Xiaohe and Zhang Mei. Even the most indifferent person wouldn't casually agree with Liang Xiaohe and Zhang Mei at this moment.
After Huang Xiuhong helped the old lady leave, Liang Xiaohe and Zhang Mei started selling cloth on their own initiative without being urged by anyone.
This time, Zhang Mei and Liang Xiaohe were a little faster than before.
After a brief period of quiet, the atmosphere became lively again.
Huang Xiuhong helped the old lady to the outside of the supply and marketing cooperative, where they found a stone step on the street to sit down.
Before long, the old woman's pale face gradually regained its rosy color.
"Young lady, what's your name? Where do you live?" the old woman asked, grabbing Huang Xiuhong's hand.
"My name is Huang Xiuhong, and I live in Huangjia Village," Huang Xiuhong said, pursing her lips.
"Thank you so much for today, otherwise, I don't know how badly I would have fallen!" The old lady patted Huang Xiuhong's hand and said with a smile.
The old lady wasn't just being polite.
If Huang Xiuhong hadn't helped her today, the old lady would definitely have fallen.
As people get older, their bones become more brittle, and the probability of fracturing a bone from a fall is quite high.
"I couldn't help much; you woke up on your own," Huang Xiuhong said somewhat embarrassedly.
“You’re a good girl. My husband’s surname is Tao, so you can call me Aunt Tao!” Aunt Tao said with a smile.
"Aunt Tao," Huang Xiuhong called out awkwardly.
"Ah~!" Aunt Tao held Huang Xiuhong's hand, liking her more and more as she looked at her.
“My family and I just moved to Peach Blossom Town, and we’ve been a bit busy these past few days. Once I’m settled in a few days, I’ll come visit you, is that alright?” Aunt Tao asked.
Aunt Tao is a grateful person. Having received help from Huang Xiuhong today, Aunt Tao decided to visit her to express her gratitude.
"Welcome, ma'am. When you arrive at Huangjia Village, just ask the village head, Huang Youliang, where each family lives. Someone will give you directions," Huang Xiuhong said with a smile.
Huang Youliang's family is very hospitable.
Aunt Tao had a kind and gentle face, and Huang Xiuhong felt that her grandmother and Aunt Tao must have endless things to talk about.
As the two were talking, a middle-aged woman with short, ear-length hair walked towards Aunt Tao from a distance and called out, "Mom! Why did you run off without saying a word? I've been looking for you everywhere."
The middle-aged woman was nearly driven to despair.
The family just moved to Taohua Town yesterday. This morning, her husband went to work, and she and her mother-in-law were cleaning the house.
She told her mother-in-law to sit on a stool and rest, but in the blink of an eye, her mother-in-law disappeared.
She searched for more than half an hour before finally finding her mother-in-law here.
"I told you! You must be hard of hearing and didn't hear me." Aunt Tao firmly denied that she had sneaked away.
"Mom, we've just arrived here, and you don't know the area well. You can't wander around by yourself. Jia Dong just gave me a good scolding! Let's go home quickly!" The middle-aged woman said helplessly.
My mother-in-law had surgery only a month ago, and she should be resting at home.
But she couldn't stay still, insisting that she was perfectly healthy, and before anyone could keep an eye on her, she went out for a stroll.
“You and Jiadong are just worrying for nothing. I only had my appendix removed, and I’ve been healed for over a month. You two treat me like a porcelain doll, forbidding me from doing this or that. This morning I even changed into some old clothes just to help you clean the new house, but you told me to sit still and not move. Of course I couldn’t sit still,” Aunt Tao complained.
"Mom, in two more months, when you're fully recovered, you can do whatever you want, okay?" the middle-aged woman gently persuaded.
"Hmph!" Aunt Tao turned her head away haughtily.
Seeing Huang Xiuhong sitting to the side, staring in disbelief, Aunt Tao felt a little embarrassed.
Oh dear! She was so used to bickering with her daughter-in-law that she almost forgot she had a savior by her side.
"Xiuhong! This is my daughter-in-law, Wang Jing. She's a doctor, and her medical skills are quite good. You can look for her when you need treatment at the town hospital. Xiao Jing! This is Huang Xiuhong, from Huangjia Village. She's a good girl, and we just met today." Aunt Tao introduced Huang Xiuhong and Wang Jing with a smile.
"Hello, Aunt Wang." Huang Xiuhong greeted Wang Jing with a smile.
"Hello, Xiuhong." Wang Jing gave an awkward smile.
My mother-in-law really has no inhibitions when it comes to saying things. She's telling the girl to go to her for future medical appointments?
What kind of talk is that?
If the girl is a little stingy, she might think her mother-in-law is cursing her to get sick!
"Xiao Jing! Xiu Hong is a good girl. Thanks to her, otherwise I might have ended up in the hospital again today!" Aunt Tao tugged at her daughter-in-law's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Mother, what happened? Are you meddling in other people's business again?" Wang Jing frowned.
Aunt Tao has always been a very strong-willed person, from her youth to old age, and she cannot tolerate the slightest injustice.
If I see any injustice, I have to rush in and do something about it.
Wang Jing tried to persuade her many times, but Aunt Tao wouldn't listen at all.
As for Tao Jiadong, as long as Aunt Tao manages things properly, even if he gets into trouble, Tao Jiadong won't blame his mother; he'll just help clean up the mess.
"I wasn't meddling in other people's business; it's my own affair," Aunt Tao defended herself.
"Mom, what exactly happened? Tell me!" Wang Jing asked.
Seeing that Wang Jing wasn't angry, Aunt Tao pointed to the supply and marketing cooperative across the street and said, "I wandered over here and happened to see a notice posted at the supply and marketing cooperative saying that they were selling defective fabric without coupons today. I was thinking that our new home doesn't even have curtains, so I was thinking of going to buy a few yards of fabric to make some curtains or something."
"And then?" A sense of foreboding rose in Wang Jing's heart.
"The supply and marketing cooperative was crowded and the air wasn't good. The sales clerks would take several minutes to tear off a piece of cloth, they were so slow. I couldn't help but say, 'Can you hurry up?' Those two sales clerks were so fierce! They started cursing right away, and I almost couldn't catch my breath." Aunt Tao pouted and said, "Xiao Jing! If it weren't for this girl Huang Xiuhong helping out today, you and Jia Dong might not be seeing me today!"
"Mother, no, no, you're a lucky person, heaven will always protect you." Wang Jing squatted down and patted Aunt Tao's back to comfort her.
Wang Jing and Tao Jiadong are both filial children.
Aunt Tao suffered a lot in her youth.
Wang Jing and Tao Jiadong both dote on Aunt Tao.
"Xiaojing, this wasn't my fault today, was it?" Aunt Tao asked.
Wang Jing nodded.
"Wait until Jia Dong arrives..." Aunt Tao didn't finish her sentence, but looked at her daughter-in-law with expectant eyes.
