Chapter 273 Transition
Zhou Xiye held Jiang Zhizhi's hand: "Wait a minute. If you know who it is, you should go and fight back."
Jiang Zhizhi glared: "Of course I know, it's Dad. You're his son, so you can't fight back. But I'm not! He hit my man, so I definitely have to get justice."
Fearing that Fang Hua, who was resting upstairs, would hear, Jiang Zhizhi, carrying a cotton coat in one hand and pushing Zhou Xiye with the other, said, "Come on, let's go outside and talk."
As he walked outside, he put on his cotton-padded coat.
As they stepped out the door, Jiang Zhizhi said angrily, "Your dad is authoritarian and domineering, and he doesn't listen to reason at all. Even now, he still refuses to admit his mistakes. He'll regret it later."
Zhou Xiye was somewhat amused and exasperated: "No need to go. If he's capable of reflecting on his actions, he will do so today. If he's not, then we can only wait for the divorce."
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Xiye's appearance. It was getting late, and it wasn't convenient to go find Zhou Chengzhi. She would talk to Zhou Chengzhi later.
She held his hand tenderly, saying, "Mom is resting upstairs. You should quietly go back and change your clothes, then wash your face and I'll treat your wound. Mom will be furious if she finds out."
The two tiptoed back, and Zhou Xiye changed his clothes and washed the blood off his face and neck.
Jiang Zhizhi treated his wound, then found gauze and tape to apply it. She looked at it from left to right and said, "It's so obvious. When Mom asks, just say you fell on the road."
Zhou Xiye smiled at her: "How could Mom believe such a stupid excuse? It's okay, I can handle it."
He smiled and praised her, saying, "Your technique for treating wounds is becoming more and more skillful."
Jiang Zhizhi said with a touch of pride, "Of course! I've learned so many things lately, my mind is full of knowledge."
While talking, she packed her things and then called Fang Hua downstairs to go eat together.
Fang Hua then called out to Zhou Xiaochuan. Zhou Xiaochuan's attitude was alright; he said he wasn't hungry and told Fang Hua and the others to go eat first, and to bring him a steamed bun when they came back.
Fang Hua didn't try to persuade him, but she sighed inwardly. That's just how Zhou Xiaochuan is; one moment he's obedient, and the next he's a complete jerk, making her waver between not being able to bear it.
After going downstairs, seeing the wound on Zhou Xiye's forehead, she was shocked: "You were fine when you came back this afternoon, how did you get injured after going out? Did your dad hit you?"
Zhou Xiye smiled and reassured her, "Mom, don't get agitated. It wasn't my dad who hit you. When we came back just now, it was too dark and someone was using a slingshot. A pebble hit us."
The boys in the compound, around fifteen or sixteen years old, seemed to have inexhaustible energy. They loved to run around and play, like shooting slingshots, hunting sparrows and doves in the woods, and raiding bird nests.
Accidental injuries to people happen from time to time.
Fang Hua felt distressed upon hearing this: "What happened? Did you see clearly whose son he is?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head indifferently: "I didn't pay attention because it was dark. It's just a little scrape. Zhizhi insisted on getting it bandaged. Let's go eat first. The cafeteria will be closing soon."
On the way, Fang Hua asked Zhou Xiye about Zhou Chengzhi's attitude.
Zhou Xiye didn't hide anything about Zhou Chengzhi's reaction: "Dad doesn't want a divorce. If he can calm down and think things through, he should be able to figure some things out."
Fang Hua was silent for a moment: "Xi Ye, what do you think about my divorce from your father?"
"Mom, I respect whatever decision you make."
After hearing what his son said, Fang Hua laughed and said, "Alright, let's go eat."
...
Because she had an exam the next day, even though Zhou Xiye was back, Jiang Zhizhi decided to be a person of few desires and read her textbooks again before going to bed.
Hearing the bathroom door open next door, she quickly got into bed, wrapped herself up in the blanket like a dumpling, and looked at Zhou Xiye who had just entered with a sweet smile: "I have an exam tomorrow, so you can't seduce me."
Zhou Xiye dried his hair, looked at Jiang Zhizhi lying on the bed like a silkworm cocoon, still looking at him warily, and smiled helplessly: "Well, I won't seduce you. You sleep well. I'll take you to the exam tomorrow morning."
After Zhou Xiye lay down, Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but lean closer to him: "You went to see Dad today. How did Xiaochuan's situation go? Is there really a problem?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "Xiao Chuan has been at home since he came back from the hospital. Apart from Xiao Liu, he doesn't have any other close friends, so this direction is fine. It's just that the time he set off was bad, and he went to Illinois, so we need to be more vigilant."
"After that researcher committed suicide, the higher-ups wouldn't allow an investigation, so the real mastermind must have a lot of power. How could he be willing to let someone he'd raised for so many years die? If we investigate, they might hold us responsible."
"Now we're just waiting to find something to hold against the Zhou family. If we don't have anything to hold against them, they'll try to create some trouble. Right now, the only unstable factor in the family is Zhou Xiaochuan."
"So we need to be more vigilant. We can't let him go out before the New Year. After the New Year, when the weather gets warmer, he can go directly to Illinois, where there are military units to receive him. That will be much better."
Jiang Zhizhi sighed, "You guys are really worried sick about Zhou Xiaochuan. When will he ever grow up? Look at his eldest and third uncles, they are all very good people, and his deceased youngest uncle must have been a good person too. How come Zhou Xiaochuan's genes have mutated?"
They originally wanted to talk about other things, but Jiang Zhizhi was too sleepy and fell asleep before they finished their conversation.
The next day, she rushed off to take the exam, feeling that there was something she hadn't told Zhou Xiye, but she couldn't think of anything else to say.
Before the exam, the teacher reiterated the importance of this exam.
If someone cheats, they will be disqualified from the exam and will be barred from attending university in any form for the next few years.
The program employs a bottom-out system, where the top thirty students can smoothly enter medical school to continue their studies. Those who are ranked below thirty have the option to participate in short-term barefoot doctor training courses and go to the countryside to work as barefoot doctors.
Or you can wait until next year to have the opportunity to attend such a training course.
Jiang Zhizhi was not worried at all; she felt that she would have no problem getting into the top three.
Ge Qinghua was also a little excited and whispered to Jiang Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, as long as I perform normally, there will definitely be no problem."
Jiang Zhizhi clenched her fist and cheered, "Sister Qinghua, I believe you can do it! Let's be classmates again after the New Year."
Ge Qinghua confidently organized the stationery.
Sun Xiaoyue, sitting in the first row, looked ashen-faced. With no one to help her, it was impossible for her to get into university solely based on her grades.
Recently, she has been studying diligently, but her foundation is too weak. She has difficulty recognizing many characters, and even if she manages to remember how to write them, she cannot understand their meaning.
Sun Xiaoyue was a little flustered. If she couldn't go to university, what should she do next?
In his previous life, how exactly did Jiang Donghua get into university? And why is there still no news about him?
Could it be because after she was reborn, Jiang Donghua didn't end up with Jiang Zhizhi, so their fates changed?
