Chapter 424 An Abnormal Child
Shen Luojia's question was quite normal.
Jiang Zhizhi looked puzzled, then smiled slightly: "I wouldn't dare call myself a miracle doctor. I only know a little bit about medicine. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Shen Luojia waved her hand: "It wasn't me, it was my grandma..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Li walked over and grabbed Shen Luojia's ear: "Are you having another episode of your madness? Your grandmother is dead, where did you get a grandmother from? Come with me right now, don't embarrass yourself here."
Shen Luojia immediately stood up, head down and shoulders hunched, looking very scared.
Liu Li angrily let go of his hand and apologized to Fang Hua and Shang Shiying: "I'm so sorry, you must have seen this. This child is not quite right in the head. He grew up in the countryside with my mother-in-law and has a deep affection for his grandmother. He still feels that his grandmother is alive."
Fang Hua frowned, disapproving of Liu Li's rudeness earlier, but since it was their family matter, he didn't say much: "It's okay, you two talk slowly, don't scare her."
Liu Li said apologetically, "I was just in a hurry and afraid that she might offend you."
Then, she spoke gently to Chen Luojia, "Luojia, don't blame Mommy. Mommy was just too anxious. Does your ear hurt?"
Shen Luojia reached out and rubbed her ears, then shook her head.
Liu Li grabbed Shen Luojia's wrist: "Alright, don't bother your aunt and the others. I'll take you to meet some of your aunts whom you've never met before."
As he spoke, he pulled Shen Luojia away.
Fang Hua was puzzled: "Is this her biological daughter? She's already so fierce after we just got her back?"
Shang Shiying has no daughter and can't stand people treating their daughters like this: "Maybe they don't like their daughters if they have too many. Anyway, I think there's something wrong with their attitude at this family reunion banquet. It's not a family reunion banquet at all. It's more like they're treating their daughter like their own daughter."
"They didn't seem to care about the child at all. Maybe what they said is true, just to let everyone know that the Shen family has a second daughter, and then marry her off to a disabled man?"
Fang Hua became curious again: "The Chu family? Which Chu family? I've never heard of them before?"
Shang Shiying waved his hand: "It's normal that we don't know each other. After all, we're not in the same system. There are many people with higher positions than us, so we certainly don't know them. I don't even know all the people in our compound anymore."
Fang Hua thought about it and agreed: "They probably just want everyone to know that the Shen family has another daughter, and then she marries into the so-called Chu family. If that's the case, then the Shen couple are really not decent."
While listening to the two gossiping quietly, Jiang Zhizhi took a handkerchief and wiped the mouths of the two children.
After wiping their mouths, they took off the backless shirts used for feeding the children, and Fang Hua and I each took one child's hand and walked out.
They hadn't gone far when Shen Luojia chased after them: "Sister-in-law, are you leaving? Can I say a few words to you?"
As she ran, Shen Luojia's bangs were blown up again, her beautiful face flushed, and her gaze at Jiang Zhizhi was earnest and persistent.
Fang Hua and Shang Shiying were also surprised when they saw Shen Luojia's appearance. She was indeed a very beautiful girl, so how could she have such an ugly hairstyle?
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, what do you want to say?"
Shen Luojia was also very direct: "Can you save my grandmother?"
Jiang Zhizhi was slightly taken aback. Liu Li had just said that Shen Luojia's grandmother had passed away, so why was Shen Luojia still persisting?
She didn't think Liu Li was lying. After all, Shen Luojia's grandmother was also Liu Li's mother-in-law and Shen Qingping's mother. They wouldn't tell such a lie.
Shen Luojia turned her head to look behind her: "Sister-in-law, I don't have time to explain in detail right now. I'll come find you later."
After saying that, she brushed her bangs aside, turned around, and ran back.
Jiang Zhizhi was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.
Fang Hua and Shang Shiying were also baffled: "This child really comes and goes in a hurry, so mysterious."
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't figure out what kind of person Shen Luojia really was.
...
Shen Luojia hurriedly ran back to the Shen family home. After entering the house, she cautiously approached, clutching the hem of her clothes. Looking at Shen Qingping and Liu Li sitting on the sofa, she called out "Mom and Dad" in a very soft voice.
Liu Li was still furious: "Didn't we tell you before that you should stay by our side and not go out and embarrass yourself? We asked you to go with your cousin and the others to the Li family to broaden your horizons, didn't you see how everyone did it?"
"Who told you to get a bowl of meat and deliver it to them? Aren't you ashamed?"
Shen Luojia kept her head down and didn't speak, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands.
Liu Li got even angrier when she saw her like this: "Look at her, so petty. Do you think the Chu family would be happy with that? Who is she? How did your mother raise the child?"
Shen Qingping sighed: "Forget it, she just came from the countryside and hasn't seen much of the world. Let's train her slowly. At least Luo Jia is obedient."
Then, looking at Shen Luojia, he said, "Luojia, your mother and I are doing this for your own good. And do you want your grandmother to get better? You saw it yourself, I invited the very famous young doctor Jiang Zhizhi today."
"Don't let her young age fool you, she's quite famous in the compound. Many leaders have had their health improved by her."
"If you behave well, I'll ask her to treat your grandmother."
Shen Luojia bit her lower lip and said timidly, "But my mother said that my grandmother is dead and that I shouldn't talk nonsense in front of outsiders."
Liu Li glared at him angrily: "Why do you always talk so much! What if you offended someone if I didn't say that? I'm only doing this for your own good."
Shen Qingping glanced disapprovingly at his wife, then waved his hand at Shen Luojia: "Alright, if you still want me to find someone to treat your grandmother, you'd better behave."
Shen Luojia hummed in response, then lowered her head and remained silent.
Liu Li was quite angry and glared at Shen Luojia: "Alright, hurry up and go help in the kitchen, so you don't get in my way here."
Shen Luojia obediently turned around and went to work in the kitchen.
Liu Li was still very angry and complained to Shen Qingping: "Why did you have to pick her up back then? Ever since we picked her up, our family has been plagued by bad luck. First, my brother got sick and died, and then my parents passed away."
Shen Qingping frowned and glanced at the kitchen: "Alright, keep your voice down. My mom insisted on picking him up, saying he was a pitiful child."
Liu Li sneered: "It must be that this child has a tough fate, a fate that brings misfortune to her father and mother, so her family abandoned her, and your mother, that old senile woman, picked her up."
Shen Qingping's tone became stern: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get her to marry Chu Jiahe first."
Liu Li suddenly laughed. People outside say that the Chu family's son is blind and disabled, but that's not accurate. The Chu family's son has a very serious mental illness.
She couldn't bear to let her own daughter marry into that family, which is why she remembered this adopted daughter who was raised in the countryside.
