Chapter 282 Mother and Daughter
Chen Limin mainly wanted to show off to Fang Hua, but she didn't expect the Zhou family to have so many people.
That made him even happier, and he laughed as he bragged to Fang Hua and the others, while Song Man stood by, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
He reached out and tugged at Chen Limin's sleeve: "Mom, please say less."
Chen Limin patted her hand: "Oh dear, this is a joyous occasion, why can't we talk about it?"
She smiled and looked at Fang Hua: "I am very satisfied with the partner that Song Man found herself this time. He comes from a cadre family, and there are only two siblings, so there is no need to worry about the relationship between sisters-in-law in the future."
Jiang Zhizhi watched as Li Simin's face turned from green to white, and he tightly gripped a clove of garlic.
I felt a little sorry for him, and I was also puzzled as to how Song Man found a boyfriend so quickly?
Given Song Man's personality, this shouldn't be the case.
How could she find a partner so quickly and then prepare for an engagement... This is simply too unexpected.
Song Man smiled awkwardly at Jiang Zhizhi, then sat down next to Chen Limin without saying a word, her face flushed red.
Fang Hua gave an "oh" and looked at her expressionlessly: "Then congratulations, your wish has finally come true."
Shang Shiying looked down on Chen Limin, especially since Chen Limin had just emphasized that there was no need to worry about the relationship between sisters-in-law, which made her very angry. She had five sons!
According to Chen Limin, then the five sisters-in-law will definitely not get along in the future.
Smiling at Chen Limin, he said, "Sister-in-law, this is truly wonderful news! But you should find out more clearly: even if it's a cadre's family, how old is the man? Why isn't he married yet? Is there something wrong with him?"
“Our Song Manqing is an innocent and upright girl, we can’t afford to accidentally marry a divorced man.”
Chen Limin's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled and said, "How could that be? The young man is very outstanding, but he has high standards and has always been very picky. It's fate that he and Song Man are together. Shi Ying, you can't be a mother-in-law, so you don't understand how I feel."
Then she looked at Li Simin sitting on the sofa and said, "By the way, your Simin is 23 after the New Year. It's time for him to find a partner. I'll keep an eye out for him for you later."
Shang Shiying chuckled, "Well, thank you very much."
Chen Limin was in a good mood and waved her hand with a smile: "It's okay, my children are all married, so I've completed my mission. I'll have plenty of free time from now on. Tell me what your standards are for a daughter-in-law, and I'll keep an eye out for her."
Shang Shiying raised her chin and smiled: "Don't look down on my five sons. I only have one condition for finding a daughter-in-law: her in-laws must be understanding and not interfere in their children's lives."
"As for girls, I don't have any requirements, as long as she is an ambitious girl."
She finished speaking with a faint smile, exuding an indescribable air of nobility and aloofness.
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh; she hadn't expected Shang Shiying to be so good at roasting people.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Chen Limin's face turned a little ugly. Finally, she tried to save face: "Alright, I originally wanted to have a good chat with Fang Hua, but since there are so many guests at home, we won't disturb you any longer. We'll go back first and invite you to our wedding banquet later."
He then pulled Song Man away.
Shang Shiying was furious: "Is there something wrong with Chen Limin? Didn't Song Man just have a suicide attempt? How come she found a boyfriend so quickly?"
Fang Hua wasn't sure either: "She's always been like this, afraid that others are doing better than her, and afraid that others don't know about her family. Let's not mention her, lest we spoil today's mood."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Li Simin, who had been chatting with her, but remained silent, his expression forlorn and sad.
Fortunately, he was usually quiet, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.
During dinner, Shang Shiying asked Li Simin to take her three younger brothers to the coffee table to eat. Jiang Zhizhi knew that Shang Shiyi and Bian Suxi had come for her tonight, so she sat obediently next to Bian Suxi, smiled sweetly at her, and picked up a dumpling for her: "Try it, my mom makes this cabbage filling so delicious, it's fragrant even without garlic sauce."
Bian Suxi was somewhat flattered and smiled, "Okay, okay, you should eat too. You look so thin, is it because you're studying too hard? You should eat more."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly shook her head: "No, I eat a lot every day. My mother-in-law makes me delicious food in different ways every day."
Bian Suxi smiled at Fang Hua: "Sister-in-law is so thoughtful, so meticulous about the child."
Fang Hua didn't think too much about it and smiled, "I have nothing to do at home, so I just need to be their support. It's a good thing that the children are willing to study, so I definitely need to do a good job in logistical support."
Speaking of studying, Shang Shiying exclaimed, "I never expected that Zhizhi, who used to dislike studying, would have such good grades now."
Fang Hua couldn't help but shower Jiang Zhizhi with praise again, saying that she read from early morning to late at night, and even while eating.
At the end, she exclaimed a few times, "You guys don't know, Zhizhi is currently studying traditional Chinese medicine, and she's incredibly skilled. She can tell something just by looking at a person's face, and her pulse diagnosis is almost always accurate. I had some heart discomfort before, and I didn't even realize it myself, but Zhizhi noticed it just by looking at my face."
"Thanks to the timely reminder to go to the hospital, otherwise I would be dead by now."
Jiang Zhizhi was embarrassed by the praise: "Mom, I'm not that good. I've only learned a little bit. There's still a lot to learn."
Shang Shiying immediately became interested, pulled Zhou Xiye aside from Jiang Zhizhi's other side, and sat down next to him: "Zhizhi, come here, let me see... how am I feeling?"
Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to seriously examine Shang Shiying's face, then take her pulse, and finally smiled and said, "Auntie, you are in good health and there are no major problems. Do you cough occasionally when you are exposed to wind?"
Shang Shiying nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it. I always thought my problem was with my stomach, that I couldn't breathe in cold air."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "My stomach is fine; it's just a lingering problem from when I was in postpartum confinement..."
Before Jiang Zhizhi could finish speaking, Shang Shiying gave Fang Hua a thumbs up: "Zhizhi is amazing, she found the root of my problem right away."
He then urged Bian Suxi, "Sister-in-law, you should also take a look. Zhizhi will be a miracle doctor in the future."
Jiang Zhizhi then took Bian Suxi's pulse, her brows furrowing and relaxing. Finally, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I can't feel anything. I feel there's something wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Let me study it some more? Anyway, it's not a big problem."
Bian Suxi looked at her with loving eyes: "Don't rush. I have a lot of old health problems. Every time I go to the doctor, they say it's complicated. You can see me again after you've learned it properly."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and promised, "Okay, I'll ask my teacher again later."
Finally, they also gave Shang Shiyi a medical check-up, and he was found to be in good health with no problems.
This delay made the meal take an unusually long time.
It wasn't until 10 o'clock that Shang Shiyi and the others got up to say goodbye.
Shang Shiying then noticed that Li Simin seemed unusually silent all night and was currently somewhat absent-minded. She walked to the door and asked, "What's wrong? Did a meal steal your soul?"
