Chapter 308 Seventy-Four Days
Jiang Zhizhi was very surprised. She didn't expect that Jiang Zhenhua would want Sun Xiaoyue to go directly to her husband's family. There would be no way Sun Xiaoyue would agree to that.
With tears in her eyes, Sun Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Zhenhua with a hint of grievance: "Dad..."
Jiang Zhenhua waved his hand: "I'm doing this for your own good. I think Xiao Jiang is a man of principle. You should discuss it with him. Besides, you're married now, so you should visit your parents-in-law. Your mother and I have already prepared the gifts."
“In the past, you had to be filial to your parents-in-law and be observant, otherwise people would say that our family did not raise you properly.”
Sun Xiaoyue was a little confused. Jiang Zhenhua's words seemed to be in her favor, but he was also refusing to let her stay at his house.
Somewhat unwillingly: "Dad, Donghua's family is very poor..."
Jiang Zhenhua frowned: "When you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. When you were dating him, did you already know about his family situation? Since you chose to be with him, you should be clear about what kind of situation you will face after marriage."
Sun Xiaoyue was completely speechless. She knew in her heart that Jiang Zhenhua was determined to kick her out of the house this time, and the reason he used was irrefutable.
Jiang Zhenhua continued, "When you get to your husband's family, you'll have to find something to do. You won't like the job we arranged for you before. We can't help you much when you go to Jinshi. You'll have to figure it out yourself. The only thing we can give you is some money and food coupons when you leave."
“But it’s not much! After all, your mother secretly gave you all the money and food coupons that the family had saved up before, and now my monthly pension is just enough to live on. Look at the meals you’ve been sending to Xiao Jiang lately, you’ve used up a year’s worth of meat coupons in just a few days.”
It's not that Jiang Zhenhua is complaining about being poor; his family really doesn't have any money.
He had some money, but Sun Xiaoyue took it all with various excuses.
Sun Xiaoyue was momentarily speechless. She knew very well how much retirement pension Jiang Zhenhua received each month, but she was used to spending money and couldn't help herself.
Who told Song Wanying to be so easily fooled?
Sun Xiaoyue couldn't say anything, she could only bite her lower lip and stand there looking aggrieved.
Jiang Zhizhi never expected that coming to give Jiang Zhenhua an acupuncture treatment would turn into watching a show.
It was obvious that Jiang Zhenhua wanted to kick Sun Xiaoyue out, and Sun Xiaoyue, who had been pretending to have amnesia and to be gentle and obedient, had no way to resist.
If the resistance is too obvious and things eventually break down, she will suffer even more.
After giving Jiang Zhenhua acupuncture, Jiang Zhizhi put away the silver needles and smiled, "Dad, I'll bring you some Chinese medicine tomorrow. Just drink it on time, and I'll give you another course of treatment. I guarantee you won't feel any pain anymore."
Jiang Zhenhua moved his knees and was amazed to find that they didn't hurt anymore!
She quickly stood up, walked back and forth a couple of times, raised her leg and then put it down again, looking at Jiang Zhizhi with surprise: "Amazing! No wonder the uncles and elders in the yard call you the little miracle doctor. I've had acupuncture before, but the effect wasn't this good."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed and said, "Then you should pay more attention in the future. Keep warm. I will come over regularly to give you acupuncture. When the weather is cloudy, you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi was packing her things and preparing to leave, Song Wanying quickly said, "It's getting late, why don't you have some food before you go back?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head and refused: "No need, my mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back for dinner, so I won't bother her any longer, I'll be going now."
Jiang Zhenhua wanted to see Jiang Zhizhi off, but she stopped him, saying, "No need to see me off, it's not far. I'll come again tomorrow."
Jiang Zhenhua could only stand at the door and watch Jiang Zhizhi leave the courtyard before turning back to the living room. He took larger steps and didn't feel any discomfort in his knees. He couldn't help but say to Song Wanying, "Zhizhi is really amazing now. Just a few steps and her leg doesn't hurt anymore. Do you remember that old Chinese medicine doctor that someone recommended before? He only felt a little better after acupuncture, and it still hurt afterwards."
Sun Xiaoyue didn't believe Jiang Zhizhi was that good, and couldn't help but say with a sour tone, "Dad, could it be just your imagination? Even the best doctor can't cure your chronic leg pain in one go. Didn't they say before that this disease is difficult to treat?"
Jiang Zhenhua disagreed: "As long as it's an illness, there must be a way to treat it. It's just a matter of whether they know how to treat it or not. Alright, hurry up and get some food ready."
Sun Xiaoyue didn't dare to say a word. She started to worry again: where would she live if she really moved out?
Do we really have to stay at Jiang Donghua's house?
...
Jiang Zhizhi performed acupuncture on Li Simin and instructed him to take his medicine on time, and to decide whether to change the prescription in half a month.
She was so busy that she forgot to ask about Li Simin and Song Man's progress.
At the end of April, Xu Mingyue gave birth to a daughter.
Upon receiving the news, Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua went to the hospital to visit him, bringing eggs, brown sugar, and ten yuan.
This was the first time she had ever touched a newborn baby so closely. The baby's face was a little red and wrinkled, and the distance between its eyes seemed a little far apart.
It looks a bit strange, like an alien.
Jiang Zhizhi stood aside watching, and heard Fang Hua laugh and praise, "This little girl is really pretty. She will definitely be a big-eyed beauty in the future. Her skin is also like her mother's, and she will be fair and rosy in the future."
Wearing a hat, Xu Mingyue leaned weakly against the bed and smiled, "Auntie, she's so young, how can you tell? I was just saying I hope she doesn't turn out like Song Dong."
Fang Hua quickly shook her head: "No, no, you're already this good-looking now, you'll be even better-looking when you grow up."
Jiang Zhizhi really couldn't understand how she could tell that the child was good-looking.
And how does she resemble Xu Mingyue? She doesn't resemble her at all!
I curiously went over to look at it for a while, but I couldn't see what was so interesting about it. I did think it was soft and kind of fun.
Song Dong, with her son, busied herself taking care of him, and when she gave birth to a daughter, she was overjoyed.
Seeing that Xu Mingyue and Song Dong were speaking gently and with smiles in their eyes, Jiang Zhizhi realized that the crisis between them had been resolved.
Not wanting to disturb Xu Mingyue's rest, they chatted for a while and then left.
As Fang Hua left the hospital, she sighed with a touch of envy, "How wonderful! Having both a son and a daughter, this life is truly complete."
He muttered to himself, "Chen Limin isn't coming either. What a great opportunity! My daughter-in-law gave birth to another granddaughter, can't she bring something to visit? If they ignore her, she can just put the things down. I don't believe Song Dong and Xu Mingyue would throw the things away."
"She's still putting on airs, expecting her son to apologize to her? Just wait and see."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and took Fang Hua's arm: "Mom, do you really want to hold your grandson?"
Fang Hua paused for a moment, then said somewhat insincerely, "No, there's no rush. You're still a child, so your studies should be your priority. Nishino has been gone for over two months now, hasn't he? Is he coming back soon?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "It's been seventy-four days, they should be back soon, but I don't know if they'll be back on time..."
