Chapter 175 Showing Off
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know if Bian Xiaoxiao would fall for it, nor did she know when Bian Xiaoxiao would make her move.
However, it's best to prepare in advance.
While packing her school supplies, she also prepared some other things, including secretly hiding Zhou Xiye's dagger at the bottom of her schoolbag.
When Fang Hua saw Jiang Zhizhi return from her trip outside, she went inside and didn't come out for a long time.
Unable to resist her curiosity, she went over and knocked on the door: "Zhizhi, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Jiang Zhizhi responded, quickly fastened and hung up her schoolbag, and went to open the door: "Mom, there were leftovers at noon, so we can just eat whatever we want tonight."
Fang Hua mainly wanted to finish gossiping about the topics they hadn't finished discussing at noon: "Then... come to the living room and chat with me for a while?"
Jiang Zhizhi readily agreed: "Sure."
Fang Hua then recounted the Bian family's rise to power. In fact, everyone in the circle knew about it, but after the Bian family embellished the story to the outside world, it became a tale of a farmhand who turned the tables, captured a black-hearted and greedy landlord, and even kindly adopted the landlord's daughter.
He was an honest and incorruptible man who handed over all of the wealthy man's property.
However, the old rich man's daughter was short-lived and died young.
Fang Hua snorted coldly: "Their hearts are all black, how can they not hand it over?! Besides, Bian Suxi's father is a very patriotic businessman. During the war, he sold his factory and dock to buy weapons and medicine to donate to the army."
"Everyone knows that we risked bringing in a large quantity of anti-inflammatory drugs. How could Bian Haishan call us unscrupulous businessmen and say that we were profiting from the national crisis?"
After saying that, he instructed Jiang Zhizhi, "Just listen to these things, but don't make any random comments when you go out. Otherwise, you might get labeled."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Yes, I know. I definitely won't talk about these things when I go out."
From Zhou Xiye and Fang Hua, the facts about the Bian family were pieced together to some extent.
Shocked, I realized that there really wasn't a single good person in the Bian family.
...
That evening, Zhou Xiye asked Jiang Zhizhi again if she had prepared her things for class the next day.
Jiang Zhizhi lay on the bed, flipping through a book and laughing, "I'm ready, don't worry, Dad Zhou."
They didn't even give us any textbooks; all we prepared were two notebooks and a fountain pen.
Zhou Xiye frowned. What kind of nonsense was this? He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and grabbed her ankle, pulling her closer: "Don't call me that."
Jiang Zhizhi deftly broke free from his grasp, quickly rolled over and got up, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind: "When you have time someday, can you teach me some martial arts?"
Seeing her quick and efficient manner, Zhou Xiye took her arm and laughed, "Do I need to teach you kung fu? Even Zhang Zhao might not be able to beat you."
Jiang Zhizhi nuzzled his neck: "You still need to practice more when you have time. Diligence leads to mastery, while idleness leads to ruin."
Zhou Xiye thought it was a good idea: "Okay."
Then she felt that Jiang Zhizhi's sudden request seemed to have some hidden motive: "Go to school, and you won't have to put up with anyone bullying you."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "No, I'm going to study, not to fight."
She already knew that those who were able to get into this medical school training program were all people who loved reading and performed very well in their daily lives.
Having finally gotten the chance to go to school, they're probably all busy studying hard and wouldn't have time to do anything messy.
In recent years, many well-known figures have emerged.
Zhou Xiye pondered for a moment: "Textbooks must be in short supply right now. I'll ask Mom to see if she can find any."
Jiang Zhizhi nestled on his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and nuzzled his face affectionately: "Okay, Daddy Zhou."
Zhou Xiye patted her hand: "Don't shout."
This is contrary to common sense!
Jiang Zhizhi giggled, bit his ear, and then gently rubbed it with her teeth, saying indistinctly, "Don't you think it's exciting?"
Zhou Xiye sighed helplessly and calmed his mind, which had been disturbed by her: "You have class tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."
Jiang Zhizhi leaned on Zhou Xiye's shoulder with a smile; she just wanted to tease him.
...
The next morning, Zhou Xiye left first, and Jiang Zhizhi rode her bike to the training class.
Fang Hua also saw him off at the gate: "Be careful riding your bike, the road is covered in icicles."
Jiang Zhizhi pushed the cart and accompanied her to the gate.
She knew in her heart that Fang Hua wanted to see her off, and also wanted people who went out for exercise early in the morning to see that her daughter-in-law had really gone to school.
He said goodbye to Fang Hua at the gate before riding away on his bicycle.
Fang Hua watched Jiang Zhizhi leave with satisfaction, thinking to herself that it gets dark early now, and there aren't even any streetlights on the way to the training center at night. She'll pick her up when the weather gets worse.
Turning around, she saw Chen Limin coming over carrying a cloth bag, and immediately looked at her with a smile: "Where are you going so early in the morning?"
Chen Limin forced a smile: "Just going out for a walk."
She didn't want to see Fang Hua at all, and couldn't stand her showing off in front of her.
Previously, she had thought that if her daughter agreed to marry Bian Yucheng, she could turn the tables on Fang Hua.
But who knew that after meeting Bian Yucheng, Song Man absolutely refused to agree, and even came out carrying a bottle of pesticide, saying that if anyone dared to force her, she would die.
How could you have given birth to such a good-for-nothing!
Seeing that Chen Limin had no interest in speaking, Fang Hua guessed that Song Man and Bian Yucheng's blind date had fallen through. He still couldn't help but kindly advise, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you keep pressuring them, it will only push them further away from you. Why bother? We're already this old, what's there to be upset about? As long as they are safe and happy, that's all that matters."
Chen Limin wouldn't listen and snorted coldly, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."
Fang Hua didn't care. It was thanks to Chen Limin's example that things turned out differently. If she had opposed Zhou Xiye in the same way she opposed Song Dong...
Zhou Xiye will probably take Jiang Zhizhi to live elsewhere. Not only has she lost a son, but she won't even be able to see her grandson again.
Thinking it over, regardless of whether Chen Limin listened or not, she added, "Don't wait until something happens to the child before you regret it, then it will be too late."
...
The training course had more than fifty students, most of whom were older and had been delayed by those years.
There were also some outstanding barefoot doctors with rich experience at the grassroots level.
They all cherished this learning opportunity, but the textbooks were limited, and none of them could get a copy.
Several people each took a book and then copied their own notes.
As soon as the papers were handed out, everyone immediately gathered together, glanced at them briefly, and then buried themselves in copying them. No one chatted or talked at all.
Jiang Zhizhi was the youngest in the class and had no prior knowledge of the subject. After looking around, she was inspired by the rich and simple learning atmosphere and immediately started reading with the four girls in her group.
The oldest in their group is Ge Qinghua, who is in her thirties. She used to work as a barefoot doctor in the countryside, where she could treat basic illnesses and deliver babies.
She most wanted to study obstetrics and gynecology during this training program.
Like an older sister, she took good care of Jiang Zhizhi: "If you don't have any basic knowledge, you can read the Barefoot Doctor Magazine when you have time. It contains some simple and easy-to-understand pathology knowledge. I have a few copies at home, I'll bring them to you later."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled modestly and said, "Thank you, Sister Ge."
Ge? Surname Ge?
