Chapter 289 Little Divine Doctor
Shang Shiying had never thought of it that way, and thought it was just a coincidence, since Song Man often worked overtime at night and came home very late.
Li Simin always entered the compound a few minutes later than Song Man, and the two usually didn't interact, so she couldn't connect the two of them at all.
Upon hearing this, Song Man suddenly remembered: "There was a murder case a while ago, on the road I walk home. I often walk home alone at night, and I'm still a little scared. Later, I found out that there were other people walking the same way as me, but because they were a bit far away, I didn't know who they were."
"I was a little scared at first, but then I realized that the other person didn't mean any harm and seemed to be just going the same way, so I felt relieved."
“I even look forward to running into him after my night shift. That distance, neither too close nor too far, is enough to keep me company. With someone to give me courage, I'm not so scared.”
After saying that, she murmured to herself, "I never expected it to be him."
For a moment, I felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what to say.
Jiang Zhizhi became even more certain that their analysis was correct: "This is only what we know. I think Li Simin likes you so much, he must have done a lot of silly things too."
He laughed as he spoke: "Sister Song Man, his affection is genuine and he takes action."
Song Man was lost in thought for a while, then held Jiang Zhizhi's hand tightly: "Zhizhi, we had a problem with the printing and typesetting before. We misspelled the name of an important person. The sample newspaper had already been printed, and we didn't even notice."
"Later, when I checked again, I found that someone's name was misspelled on the sample newspaper. I quickly called the printing factory, and they said that someone had already corrected it."
"Do you think it could be him too? If that name is printed incorrectly, our entire newspaper could be implicated."
Jiang Zhizhi was a little confused: "But... how could Li Simin know that it was written wrong?"
Song Man hadn't thought much of it before, assuming that someone would proofread it at the end, although in the end, it was never found out who had proofread it.
But now that I think about it, "The director of the printing factory's office is from our compound, and he has a very good relationship with Li Simin."
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, "Could it be that he used to go to see them often? Are they all sample newspapers that he collected?"
Song Man was unsure, and only suspected: "I don't know, because even though that one mistake was corrected in time, we still wrote a self-criticism, and we never dared to make such a mistake again."
"Later, every time an article was published, it had to be reviewed by several people, and the sample copies also had to be checked repeatedly, for fear of making any mistakes."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know if it was Li Simin who did it, but Li Simin must have secretly done a lot for Song Man behind the scenes, they just didn't know it.
"Sister Song Man, you can learn more about Li Simin. It's not about being moved by what he does for you, it's just about getting to know him. He's really worth it."
Song Man smiled and said, "It would be a shame if you weren't a matchmaker. I'm grateful for what he did, but we're not suitable for each other, whether it's age or anything else."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't continue the topic, knowing she needed to give Song Man some time to process things.
She will definitely discover what Li Simin has done for her. She is a sensitive and soft-hearted person, and the more she investigates, the softer she will become, and she will unconsciously pay attention to Li Simin.
Who knows, you might get attracted and end up together?
"By the way, Sister Song Man, I've learned a little bit about Traditional Chinese Medicine recently. May I take a look at you?"
Song Man didn't have any other discomfort. She reached out to Jiang Zhizhi and said, "Could you take a look at my wrist and fingers? Because I often hold a pen to write, my wrist and fingers always hurt. I was diagnosed with tenosynovitis before, and I also went for acupuncture, but it didn't help much."
Jiang Zhizhi's eyes lit up: "Oh, I know how to do that! Before, when you did acupuncture, didn't you also have me boil water with safflower and mugwort to soak in?"
Song Man nodded: "Yes, it did work when I first started soaking my hands, but it stopped working later. Sometimes the pain was so bad that I couldn't sleep at night, and I had to use hot water to apply heat. The doctor said I should let my hands rest more, but we don't have enough staff at our newspaper, so where would I find the time to rest?"
Jiang Zhizhi held Song Man's wrist with one hand and her thumb and forefinger with the other, gently squeezing and then suddenly pressing down hard. Song Man felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but frown, saying, "It hurts a little."
Jiang Zhizhi loosened her grip and gently rubbed it again: "There are bumps here and here. I'll go back and get a needle to give you a few acupuncture treatments. I guarantee you'll be better right away."
Song Man found it amazing: "Really? I've seen it many times before and had acupuncture many times, but it can only relieve the symptoms, not cure them."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and assured her, "That's because you didn't prick the right spot. Just wait, I'll give you a prick and you'll see the difference."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Zhizhi went downstairs and saw Fang Hua and Chen Limin sitting face to face, ignoring each other.
Seeing her and Song Man come down, Fang Hua stood up and smiled, "Zhizhi, we're home. We haven't had lunch yet."
Chen Limin ignored her and looked at Song Man instead: "Song Man, don't even think about your relationship with that boy from the Li family."
She was terrified that her daughter would be brainwashed by Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi is very talkative, and Song Man is very honest and straightforward, so it's entirely possible that she'll be swayed by her words.
Song Man said helplessly, "Mom, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Limin pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. She thought that Song Man was about to get engaged, and as long as she didn't agree, the marriage couldn't be changed.
Once Song Man gets married, will Li Simin still be able to keep pestering her?
She refused to believe that the Li family would be shameless.
...
As soon as Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua left the Song family's house, Fang Hua sighed, "I didn't expect Shang Shiying to be so stubborn. She's not willing to be lenient at all. Now things are even more difficult than they were before."
"However, seeing Li Simin and Song Man standing together just now, I think Song Man is not good enough for Li Simin."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly stopped her: "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Sister Song Man is a good person."
Fang Hua felt he was right: "Look how good-looking Li Simin is. Song Man looks very ordinary standing next to him."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "Actually, Sister Song Man is the kind of person whose beauty grows on you, and she has a great temperament. She has a scholarly air about her. Being with her makes you feel peaceful and comfortable without even realizing it."
Fang Hua pondered for a while, but couldn't figure out the feeling Jiang Zhizhi was talking about.
"However, I do hope that Li Simin and Song Man get together, then Chen Limin will be thoroughly humiliated. That old hag is so stubborn and unreasonable! I want to see her regret it. By the way, she just said she has a serious illness. Zhizhi, did you notice?"
