Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
As society develops and the economy recovers, people's ideas and concepts must also keep pace with the times.
When white flour buns and white rice are common, it's nice to occasionally eat some wild vegetables out of nostalgia. But if you eat wild vegetables every day, you're just being stubborn and ungrateful.
The auntie accepted it well, and when she had free time, she would study and read newspapers to keep up with the pace of national development.
In fact, both the Jiang and Mu families knew that Jiang Juecheng had joined Mu Jingheng's side business, and even Jiang Jueyi knew. No one was hiding it from Lin Ying. It's just that she was too carefree, which led to the current situation.
As Mu Jingheng ate his delicious breakfast, he joked with Lin Ying, "Sister-in-law, how does it feel to become rich overnight?"
Lin Ying got excited when she talked about it. "I'm so excited! I really want to turn all of it into money, and then sit on the bed and count it slowly. I want to know what it feels like to count money until my hands cramp up."
Lin Ying made everyone laugh.
Mu Jingheng glanced at the listless Jiang Juecheng and said, "Sister-in-law, this day will come. I'm afraid you'll be counting money until you're sick of it, and you'll get annoyed just looking at money."
Lin Ying glared at him and said irritably, "Second Brother Mu, take back what you said right now. Aren't you afraid the God of Wealth will hear you and get angry? Who would complain about having too much money? If that day ever comes, I'll be happy too."
After breakfast, everyone went to work, including Lin Ying.
However, Lin Ying rushed back around lunchtime.
The reason is simple: Ye Jiang's gossip has a sequel, and she has to run back to share this hot juicy gossip with her best friend.
Ye Jiang deliberately showed her pregnant belly, which wasn't showing at all, to work this morning, and had a minor argument with a patient during that time.
To make the patient look good, she used her pregnancy as an excuse, even claiming that her husband was the vice president of the hospital. She pointed her finger at him and said that her child was hard-won and that if anything happened, he couldn't possibly take responsibility.
That patient was no ordinary person either. She was an athlete who had just won glory for the country last year, and her family background was not weak. During her few days in the hospital, she naturally heard gossip about Ye Jiang, and she could be said to despise Ye Jiang.
Her husband had a tubal ligation, yet she became pregnant; one can imagine how sordid it all was.
As a spirited athlete, she wouldn't give Ye Jiang any face at all.
She looked at Ye Jiang with disdain and told her that Mu Chenggong had already had a tubal ligation.
When Ye Jiang heard this, she thought that others were deliberately trying to hurt her. She didn't believe that Mu Chenggong would get a tubal ligation for no reason.
People in this era are very conservative, especially men. Although leaders say that women can hold up half the sky, the remnants of feudal thinking from thousands of years ago cannot be changed overnight.
To older people who don't understand, tubal ligation is undoubtedly similar to something else from the past. So even though the technique for tubal ligation has been around for a long time, very few people will voluntarily get it done. Wouldn't getting it done mean that their body is incomplete?
Therefore, unless the facts are presented to Ye Jiang, she will not believe anything she says.
But athletes are people who are very goal-oriented. If you don't believe her, she'll prove it to you.
She called in witnesses, including the doctor who performed the surgery on Mu Chenggong.
It was quite awkward for the group to stand in front of Ye Jiang. They were happy to listen to gossip, but they were less willing to be in the center of it.
However, this athlete had considerable influence, and when she realized she couldn't achieve her goal, she went to Mu Chenggong's door to complain.
Mu Chenggong was unaware of the recent gossip and Ye Jiang's pregnancy. He was very busy with work and was about to be promoted to dean. He had been attending meetings and exchanging ideas in place of the old dean and hadn't been home for several days.
He just got back today. He was originally going straight home, as he hadn't been home for several days. He wondered how his two kids were doing at home during the holidays.
However, someone with connections called him, saying that a relative of theirs was hospitalized in their hospital and they hoped he could help take care of them.
And this person with connections happens to be the athlete.
Mu Chenggong greatly admired this athlete, who had won major international awards representing the Chinese team and was a hero in the hearts of the people.
Mu Chenggong himself also loves this sport and often takes his two children to the gym to play during his breaks. So Mu Chenggong really wanted to meet the children's idol and brought his racket, hoping the athlete could sign it so he could encourage his two children.
Just as Mu Chenggong was taking two rackets out of his bag and fiddling with them, there was a knock on the office door.
He was excited when the athlete appeared before Mu Chenggong, but his excitement was dampened when she spoke.
Athlete: "Are you Dean Mu? Hello! I am so-and-so, I'm here to complain."
Mu Chenggong smiled and said, "Complain? Is there something wrong with our hospital?"
The athlete said, "The hospital is very good, and the doctors and nurses are very professional. What I want to sue is your spouse. She is very arrogant because of her pregnancy and is very irresponsible towards us patients."
Mu Chenggong thought he had misheard and repeated, "She used her pregnancy as an excuse?"
Athlete: "Yes! She's pregnant, but everyone in the hospital knows you've had a tubal ligation. How can a man who's had a tubal ligation still get a woman pregnant? Director, you need to ask your wife what's going on. Don't let her be fooled without even knowing it."
Mu Chenggong was already embarrassed, but his many years of medical experience quickly calmed him down.
It seems he has already lost all face, but he still wants to maintain a semblance of dignity.
Mu Chenggong smiled and said to the athlete, "Thank you for telling me all this. I will work hard to resolve this issue. However, it's not absolute whether vasectomy will allow my partner to get pregnant again. I will also try to find out more about that. You can go back now. My partner will not bother you while you are recuperating."
Everyone here is a respectable person, and the athletes are of very high quality. After saying this, he left the dean's office.
After the office door closed, she stared at it for a long time.
How could such a young, promising, and talented man marry such a blind and inconsiderate woman?
Is it just because of that face?
It seems that no man can resist the attraction to beautiful, young women!
Mu Chenggong had no idea what others were thinking. At that moment, he sat blankly in his office, lost in thought.
Around noon, the hospital responded to Ye Jiang's incident by suspending her from work.
If Ye Jiang hadn't continued to cause trouble for Mu Chenggong, things might not have been so embarrassing. But with her pregnancy, Ye Jiang became bolder. She felt that the hospital's decision to treat her, the hospital director's wife, was a challenge to Mu Chenggong's authority, so she went to Mu Chenggong's office in a loud and boisterous manner.
With such juicy gossip, who would want to miss it?
Therefore, the area outside Mu Chenggong's office was always crowded with people.
