Chapter 206 Divine Doctor
Jiang Zhizhi took another nap in the afternoon, and her energy finally recovered completely.
After feeling energetic again, thinking back on yesterday's inexplicable illness, especially that dream, feels so disjointed.
The dream was filled with so many things that she couldn't quite make sense of it.
As Fang Hua and Jiang Zhizhi were discussing what to eat for dinner, Zhou Xiye returned and said that he and Jiang Zhizhi were going out and wouldn't be eating at home.
Fang Hua didn't ask any more questions and even told the two of them to come back early.
After changing her clothes, Jiang Zhizhi went outside and asked Zhou Xiye curiously, "Where are we going?"
Zhou Xiye pulled her scarf up a little more: "Are you still feeling unwell? Brother Song knows an old doctor who can take your pulse."
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "I'm all better now, I don't need to see a doctor."
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Zhou Xiye said, "I made an appointment with Brother Song, let's go and take a look."
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't refuse Song Dong's kindness, so she smiled and took Zhou Xiye's hand, shaking it slightly: "Let's go see him. Even if it's not for medical treatment, I can still ask him some questions about my studies."
Zhou Xiye, his fingers still gripped tightly by her, looked around helplessly and whispered a reminder: "We're outside, we need to be mindful of our behavior."
Jiang Zhizhi proudly raised her chin: "This shows that the couple has a good relationship. Others will only be envious."
After saying that, he chuckled again: "Why don't you say that in bed?"
Zhou Xiye remained silent, letting her hold his hand. He couldn't argue with her; she had plenty of fallacies.
When Chen Limin returned from the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi walking out hand in hand, their shoulders leaning together from time to time, looking incredibly intimate.
He squinted, feeling an inexplicable unease.
Rushing home, he saw Song Man already back, sitting at her bedroom desk reading. He was furious and snatched the book from her hands: "What's the use of reading this all day? Will it help you find a good husband? Do you want to stay unmarried until you're thirty? You'll be twenty-eight after the New Year. It's fine if you stay home as an old maid, but do you want me to embarrass myself along with your father?"
Song Man sighed, "Mom, if it really doesn't work out, how about I move out?"
Chen Limin was even angrier: "Move out? You want to drive me crazy! What kind of decent girl would live outside, Song Man! You really want to drive me crazy. What sins did I commit to give birth to such a worthless thing like you?"
Song Man gripped the edge of the table tightly, looking at her angry mother, and rarely spoke up to argue: "Mom, don't you think there's something wrong with your thinking? My brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship, and you've made them unwilling to come home. It's like I'm committing an unforgivable crime for not to get married."
"I have a job and can support myself, so why should I marry someone I don't like?"
Chen Limin was even angrier that Song Man dared to talk back: "Then you can be an old maid for the rest of your life and be talked about behind your back. If you don't get married, then there's something wrong with you! You're still being picky at your age, and you won't be able to find a good one when you remarry."
Song Man retorted defiantly, "If I can't find him, I'll never get married, okay?!"
Chen Limin's blood pressure was rising: "If you don't get married, who will take care of you in your old age? Would I harm you? I don't care, you must get married before the end of the year. Tomorrow I'll have everyone keep an eye out for you, and if that doesn't work, I'll go to the neighborhood committee and let everyone know that our Song family still has an unmarried daughter. Let's see who's more shameful!"
Song Man trembled with anger: "Whatever."
She also knew that Chen Limin was a woman of her word.
...
Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye left the compound, where Song Dong's car was waiting not far away.
Once in the car, Jiang Zhizhi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Song, it's so cold, and you still went to all this trouble to come all this way."
Song Dong smiled gently: "It's alright, it won't take up much time. After you finish seeing the doctor, we can go to my house for dinner. I've already arranged for your sister-in-law to make noodles with soybean paste today."
He started the car and drove away without looking back.
They showed absolutely no intention of going home to visit.
On the way, Song Dong also talked to Zhou Xiye about Bian Yucheng: "Bian Yucheng admitted to hiding gold bars in the photos, but he did not admit to murder, nor did he admit that he had tampered with Xiao Chuan's file."
"The technical department didn't find Bian Yucheng's fingerprints on the note you gave me."
Zhou Xiye could have predicted this outcome: "Without evidence, how could he admit it? If Bian Haishan still has the ability, the crime of illegally possessing gold bars can be manipulated to avoid a death sentence. As long as the person is alive, they can still find a way to get him out."
Song Dong shook his head: "Bian Haishan is in big trouble this time too. When I was in the meeting this morning, I heard from the leaders that an old incident involving Bian Haishan has been brought up. It seems to be related to the death of Bian's adopted daughter in a fire. He orchestrated the fire, which killed three people."
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised to hear this: "This happened twenty years ago, is there any evidence?"
Moreover, the past twenty years have been quite chaotic, with many things happening.
Song Dong wasn't quite sure: "It's unclear whether there's any evidence, but it seems there are witnesses."
Jiang Zhizhi was even more surprised; there were actually witnesses!
The old doctor lived not far from Song Dongjia's house, in a courtyard house where many families lived.
The old doctor lived in a room on the north side. Although there were seven or eight households living in the courtyard, it was kept very clean and tidy, and the honeycomb briquettes were neatly stacked at the door of each household.
It was dinnertime, and everyone was busy washing vegetables and cooking in their yards. Children were running around, playing shuttlecock, jumping rope, and rolling hoops, creating a lively atmosphere.
It has a particularly rich and simple atmosphere of life.
Strangers entered the courtyard, and the adults and children who were busy stopped what they were doing. Some asked enthusiastically, "Who are you looking for?"
Song Dong smiled and said, "We're looking for Dr. Jin."
Then someone shouted, "Old Jin... someone's looking for you."
Then, he enthusiastically pointed to the house to the north, which was Dr. Kim's house.
Before Jiang Zhizhi and the others could knock on the door, it opened and an old man came out. He was very thin, with gray hair and one of his glasses lenses was broken.
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned. This old man was the grandfather she met at the train station when she first transmigrated, who was later arrested for stealing books.
Song Dong greeted her politely, "Dr. Jin, I was introduced by Liu Mingzhang. I'd like to see you for a medical consultation."
Jin Huaiying squinted for a while before she could finally see the three people in front of her clearly. Especially when she saw Song Dong's clothes, her face tightened: "I won't look! I can't look, my glasses are broken!"
Song Dong smiled and said, "We just wanted you to take our pulse, and then I'll get you a pair of glasses, how about that?"
Jin Huaiying paused for a moment, then said, "Then come in."
The room wasn't big; besides the bed, there was only a table, and nothing else, so it still felt quite spacious.
Jin Huaiying turned on the light, squinted at the three of them, and finally her gaze fell on Jiang Zhizhi: "Is this little girl sick? Did she have a fever yesterday?"
