Chapter 443 A Perfect Match
Chen Limin was slapped, and she couldn't vent her anger; keeping it inside was also painful.
When he got back and saw Song Man helping his aunt make soup in the kitchen, he got angry again: "You came back, why didn't you bring Tian Tian with you?"
Song Man glanced at her indifferently: "Tian Tian stays at the nanny's house every day. I can just pick her up at the appointed time. It's not convenient to bring her back."
Song Dong helped her rent a house, and she found a housekeeper nearby who had nothing to do at home. She would drop her child off at the house before going to work every day and pick him up after get off work.
The nanny was very attentive to the child, and within a few days, Tian Tian liked her very much.
Chen Limin rubbed her slightly swollen cheeks and realized that Song Man hadn't even noticed her return after being beaten. She snorted coldly, "You don't need to be so cold to me. Everything I do is for your own good."
"I told you not to marry so far away, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on getting married anyway. Now look what happened! You ended up divorced. You said you'd listen to me and find someone in Beijing. Who would dare to bully you like this?"
“If you get a divorce and bring a child back now, you don’t know what people will say about you behind your back. You may not care about your reputation, but we do.”
She kept babbling on and on, but Song Man pretended not to hear her and stirred the soup in the pot.
Chen Limin then thought of Shen Luojia: "The Li family introduced Li Simin to a girl with a mental illness. I don't know what they were thinking! You should try to win her over. Simin has a bright future ahead of him. With such a stepfather, Tiantian's life will be much easier."
Song Man slammed the ladle into the casserole dish, turned to Chen Limin and said, "You were the one who disagreed in the first place, but now that I'm divorced, you agree? What do you take me for? A garbage collector?"
Chen Limin was furious: "How...how can you talk like that? How can you talk to yourself like that?"
Song Man sneered: "Isn't it you who keeps saying that I'm divorced, shameful, and that people point fingers at me? Doesn't that make me trash? Li Simin is young and promising, with a bright future. Why would he want to be interested in me?"
Chen Limin glared at her: "How can you be so ungrateful? Wasn't I doing this for your own good? Li Simin almost died to save you back then, wasn't that because he liked you? He hasn't looked for anyone all these years, so he must still remember you."
With a sob in her voice, Song Man said, "Mom, can you please stop dreaming? Even if Li Simin really hasn't forgotten me, how can I marry him in my current state?"
“In this life, what’s missed is missed, so don’t bring it up again. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you. You’re always disagreeing with this or that, and you’re always threatening us with your death. As for me, I’ve been ridiculed and suppressed by you, and I’ve never had any self-confidence in my life.”
"I am the way I am today because of my family. They made me a coward. You and Dad have never given me any affirmation."
Faced with Song Man's accusations, Chen Limin felt a sharp pain in her chest: "I was doing all this for your own good, and in the end, you turn around and blame me. Song Man, do you have any conscience...?"
Song Man sneered: "Is this for my own good? It's just for your own face. Can't you compare yourself to others in the compound? Back then, you looked down on Li Simin because he was too young, didn't have a job, and was sickly."
"Now that he's doing so well, with a good job and a bright future, he wants me to go after him. Why would he even want me? Mom, where did your self-awareness go?"
Chen Limin trembled with anger: "Song Man, you really don't know what's good for you at all. Wasn't I doing this for your own good?"
Song Man chuckled: "Then I should thank you? I see you're fine, I'll be going now."
After saying that, he took off his apron, threw it aside, rushed out of the house, and pushed his bicycle away.
Chen Limin angrily cursed in the yard: "What's the use of raising children? They're all ungrateful wretches, not a single one of them is good."
As Song Man pushed her bike out the door, tears welled up in her eyes. It seems Li Simin really does have a boyfriend.
She felt a suppressed sadness in her heart. She knew that there was absolutely no possibility between her and Li Simin now, but she still couldn't help feeling sad.
In this lifetime, she will never meet a man as considerate and gentle as Li Simin, who would take care of her emotions and indulge her little quirks.
...
After the farce, Shen Luojia felt no psychological burden at all and started playing with Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang again.
Jiang Zhizhi took the opportunity to check Shen Luojia's pulse and found that her signs of poisoning had worsened, and she was now more severely affected than Song Wanying. However, because she was young, she did not yet show any symptoms.
Seeing Shen Luojia happily eating an apple, I thought for a moment and asked her, "Luojia, when you were at the Shen family's house, did you eat anything strange?"
Shen Luojia shook her head: "I don't know, is leftover food something strange?"
Jiang Zhizhi was at a loss, completely unsure where to begin. After all, Song Wanying and Shen Luojia were two completely unrelated people, so how could they have been poisoned by the same thing?
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi frown, Li Simin asked, "Is there something wrong with her health?"
Judging from Shen Luojia's complexion and energy, she doesn't look sick at all.
Jiang Zhizhi briefly explained Shen Luojia and Song Wanying's situation to Li Simin, and then thought for a moment: "Brother Simin, if you have time tomorrow, bring Luojia to the hospital to see me, and I'll have her blood drawn for testing."
They didn't dare disturb Song Wanying because they were afraid that if they couldn't determine the cause and consequences of the poisoning, it would only make Song Wanying worry and frighten her, thus breaking them down mentally.
She wasn't worried that Shen Luojia would do that, because this girl would never harm herself internally. Even if she knew she was poisoned, she probably wouldn't even ask.
Li Simin nodded: "No problem, I still have a few days of vacation left. But why did she and Aunt Jiang get the same poison?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "I can't figure it out either, because I don't know, and I don't know how to treat it."
She had read through all of Jin Huaiying's notes, but none of them were of this type.
Li Simin comforted Jiang Zhizhi, "Don't worry, it doesn't seem to be life-threatening at the moment, it will only damage your nerves..."
Suddenly remembering something: "You said that Luo Jia's slow reaction time might also be related to the poisoning?"
Jiang Zhizhi is still unsure: "Luo Jia said she has had fevers since she was a child, but it cannot be ruled out that poisoning could also make her sluggish."
As they were talking, Shen Luojia suddenly stood up: "It's getting dark, I need to go help my mother-in-law pack up her stall."
Li Simin also stood up: "I'll go with you."
Shen Luojia hesitated for a moment: "Then you can't eat the noodles your mother-in-law cooks. It's not easy for her to earn money."
Li Simin understood what she meant and smiled gently, "Okay, I won't eat. Let's go, I'll take you there on my bike."
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised that Li Simin and Shen Luojia seemed to communicate without any obstacles.
Shen Luojia sometimes only says a few words, but Li Simin can understand what she means and coaxes her like a child.
It gave her the feeling that they were a perfect match...
