Chapter 309 Longing
Jiang Zhizhi still misses Zhou Xiye, but she has been very busy these past two months and has made significant progress.
The school is the same; it has compressed the original five-year curriculum into three years, making it seem like every day is being used in two separate days.
Jiang Zhizhi felt tired yet fulfilled, as if she had returned to the sprint stage before the college entrance examination, where every day was tense and busy.
After walking for a while, Fang Hua remembered something else: "Jiang Zhenhua and his family have moved out. Let's go visit them sometime when we have time. No matter what, Jiang Zhenhua is a decent person."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Yes, I know. I even went to give my dad acupuncture and deliver medicine a couple of days ago."
Fang Hua laughed: "I forgot about that. How's your dad's health lately? I didn't expect him to actually kick Sun Xiaoyue out. Before, I was thinking, wouldn't keeping such a thing at home be a nuisance?"
"Thinking about it now, it really was only marriage that could make her leave. No one could say anything about it. Sun Xiaoyue herself couldn't say anything either. Once you're married, how can you still live at your parents' house, especially since it's an imposter?"
"Tell me, where exactly is Song Wanying's biological daughter?"
Jiang Zhizhi was also puzzled. She had felt that she was about to uncover the truth, but now she had no clues at all.
It has practically become one of the world's top ten unsolved mysteries.
The two took the bus back and ran into Chen Limin at the entrance of the compound.
Chen Limin, carrying a shopping basket, greeted Fang Hua with a smile: "Where have you and your mother-in-law been?"
Fang Hua glanced at her: "Are you really unaware, or are you pretending to be confused? I went to the hospital to see Mingyue. Her little girl is all rosy-cheeked and so pretty. She'll definitely grow up to be a beautiful little girl like Mingyue."
Chen Limin's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of embarrassment: "I know, she gave birth yesterday."
Fang Hua frowned: "You know why you don't go see her? She's your granddaughter, after all. No matter how the children treat you, you need to show some respect. As a grandmother, isn't it only natural for you to be good to your son and grandchildren?"
"As for your daughter-in-law, you haven't treated her well, and you expect her to apologize to you? Don't wait until the little girl is the same age as Tongtong, and you still haven't met her twice."
"I see that the couple has a good relationship, both a son and a daughter, and they live a happy and harmonious life. What more could you want?"
Chen Limin was speechless after being retorted: "You really are sharp-tongued now, your mouth is like a knife, stabbing people in the heart with every word you open. Alright, I'm going home to cook, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Fang Hua snorted coldly: "Go ahead and be stubborn. You'll regret it someday."
Jiang Zhizhi tugged at Fang Hua's arm: "Mom, say less. If Auntie could understand, she would have gone yesterday."
She didn't understand what Chen Limin was thinking; even after all this, she still wouldn't back down.
……
Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua went home. Fang Hua was told to rest for a while while she went to give Li Simin acupuncture treatment.
When the research institute is not busy, Li Simin can also rest at home every Sunday.
After nearly a month of treatment and acupuncture, Li Simin's health has improved significantly, her complexion has improved a lot, and she no longer catches a cold as easily as before.
The happiest person was Shang Shiying. When she saw Jiang Zhizhi enter, she pulled her to the kitchen first: "I knew you would be here soon. I made some chicken soup. Have a bowl first."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't stand on ceremony. As Shang Shiying served her the chicken leg, she reminded him, "Don't give me the chicken leg. Leave it for Xiao Si and Xiao Wu."
Shang Shiying snorted coldly: "If we don't give them to them, those brats will cause trouble every day. It's infuriating."
There are many sons in the family, and they all have big appetites. It's all thanks to Shang Shiying's shrewdness.
Meat can only be eaten once a month.
When the chicken stew was started, the three sons stayed at home and refused to go out. In the end, Shang Shiying kicked them out and told them not to come home until it got dark.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled as she drank a bowl of chicken soup and ate a chicken leg.
Shang Shiying looked at Jiang Zhizhi with doting eyes and asked, "Would you like another bowl? Or some more chicken?"
Jiang Zhizhi quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, I have to have dinner with my mother-in-law when I get home later, this is enough. Isn't Brother Simin here?"
Shang Shiying gave Jiang Zhizhi some peanuts and melon seeds to chew on: "He just went out and said he'd be back in a bit. He told you to wait for him at home. He's been acting all mysterious lately. I wonder what he's been up to."
"But Zhizhi, Simin's health has been really good lately. You can tell from the way he walks. He seems to have more energy now."
Jiang Zhizhi said with a smile, "It will get better and better in the future. I'll take another look in the next couple of days and adjust the prescription."
After adjusting the prescription based on her own judgment, she would show it to Jin Huaiying.
The first time, Jin Huaiying would help her make some revisions, but the second and third times, Jin Huaiying would only give a hint, and she would instantly understand.
Even Jin Huaiying praised her repeatedly, saying that Jiang Zhizhi was born to study medicine.
Shang Shiying was even happier. Now her only worry was Li Simin's love life: "I don't know why this child is so single-minded and has set his sights on Song Man?"
“These past few days, I’ve been hanging around Song Man a lot, but I haven’t seen any response from her. It’s making Chen Limin very unhappy with me.”
“If the two of them don’t end up together, it doesn’t matter. We can just stop seeing each other. But what if the two kids end up together? What will we do then? Chen Limin is really… Anyway, if she’s not willing, I won’t put up with her. I’m marrying off a daughter-in-law, not a grandson.”
“I’ve lived this long and no one has ever dared to make me feel bad. But with Chen Limin, I have to act like a grandson. It’s infuriating.”
Jiang Zhizhi hadn't had a chance to ask, "Have Si Min and Song Man been interacting a lot lately?"
Shang Shiying sighed, "What do you mean by 'a lot'? It's all just Si Min's one-sided enthusiasm; Song Man hasn't reacted much. That's my guess, because I always see him go out happily and come back dejected."
“If an ordinary person were hit like this, they would probably have given up long ago. If this doesn’t work, they can just find another one.”
“My son is something else; he never gives up, and he won’t turn back even when he hits a brick wall.”
Jiang Zhizhi was overjoyed: "It hasn't been that long, and some people have been secretly in love for half a century? Si Min likes her, it must be because there's something about Song Man that attracts him."
Shang Shiying thought for a moment, then sighed: "The news about the two of them is circulating in the compound. Everyone says that Song Man is not good enough for Si Min. After hearing it so much, I feel a little disappointed. Maybe it's because I think my own son is good, but I feel that Si Min deserves a better girl."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "So, you should keep quiet and see how things turn out."
Just as Shang Shiying nodded, her youngest son ran in, covered in sweat, barely able to speak: "Mom, Mom... my older brother is dying... my older brother is dying!"
