Chapter 70 Encounter
Yang Fengmei was still hesitant, afraid that Old Man Liang would disagree.
Hearing Jiang Zhizhi say this, he immediately nodded: "Okay, you can tell your uncle tonight. I really need to go and take a look. It's so congested here tonight that it's hard to breathe."
That evening, Jiang Zhizhi mentioned to Old Man Liang that she wanted Yang Fengmei to accompany her to the city.
I was worried that Old Man Liang would disagree. After all, the father and son were so bad at cooking that they wouldn't even pick up a fallen oil bottle. If Yang Fengmei wasn't home for two days, who would cook?
To everyone's surprise, Old Man Liang readily agreed: "Alright, you guys go ahead. Da Zhuang and I will stay home. We don't have much work to do these days anyway."
Jiang Zhizhi then reminded Old Man Liang, "Uncle, we're going tomorrow and might not be back until the afternoon after tomorrow. If there's no car, we'll stay for two days."
Old Liang waved his hand readily: "It's alright, it's alright, you can go ahead."
He then turned to Yang Fengmei and said, "I'll give you the money tomorrow."
Yang Fengmei was flattered. In the past, when she wanted to go back to her parents' home, Old Man Liang was not happy about it and complained that no one cooked at home.
I didn't expect them to agree so readily this time: "We'll go tomorrow and try our best to come back the day after."
Old Liang frowned: "Why rush back after going out? Take a stroll around the city with Xiao Jiang and see more of the sights."
...
The next morning, Jiang Zhizhi and Yang Fengmei had breakfast, and Liang Dazhuang drove them to the commune in his tractor, taking some winter wheat seeds back with him.
The two first took a bus to the county town, and then took another bus to the city.
Yang Fengmei was a little excited: "I've only been to the county town twice in all these years, this is my first time going to the city, I was so excited I couldn't sleep all night."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and comforted her, "After the check-up, let's take a good look around the city and visit the park."
Yang Fengmei was even more excited: "Okay, I've never been to a park before. There's something else I'd like to trouble you with."
Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "What is it?"
Yang Fengmei was a little embarrassed: "I want to take a picture. I've never had a picture taken before. I want to take a picture so that if I'm not around anymore, Dazhuang can show it to the children and let them know what their grandma looks like."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly interrupted, "Auntie, let's not talk about such discouraging things. I'll take you to take pictures, and you'll definitely live to be a hundred years old."
Once they arrived in the city, the two found a cheap hotel near the military hospital, checked in, bought two pancakes from the canteen, ate a quick bite, and then hurriedly went to the hospital for a checkup.
Despite Yang Fengmei's energetic and outspoken nature in the village, she becomes cautious and reserved in the city, even hesitant to step hard on the cement floor in the hospital corridor.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't make things difficult for Yang Fengmei. She told her to sit on a bench while she helped her register and then took her to the clinic.
Registration is simple. No matter whose name you use, just register and pay a one-cent registration fee.
After registering, Jiang Zhizhi was about to go find Yang Fengmei when she unexpectedly ran into Sun Xiaoyue.
Sun Xiaoyue was startled when she saw Jiang Zhizhi, her expression clearly panicked: "Jiang Zhizhi! What are you doing here? Are you following me?"
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Sun Xiaoyue as if she were a lunatic: "Are you crazy? Why would I follow you?"
Sun Xiaoyue's eyes darted around, finally settling on Jiang Zhizhi's stomach: "Then why did you come to the hospital? It couldn't be...?"
Jiang Zhizhi raised her hand and waved it, startling Sun Xiaoyue who quickly covered her head and backed away: "What are you doing? I didn't say anything, are you going to hit me? This is a hospital, Jiang Zhizhi, do you want to bully me in the hospital?"
Jiang Zhizhi looked around in confusion but didn't see any familiar faces. She sneered, "Get lost! I don't have time to play along with your act. If you want to get beaten up, wait until we get back to Hewan Village."
After saying that, she turned around and left to find Yang Fengmei. If she didn't have something important to do, she really would have grabbed Sun Xiaoyue and teased her.
Sun Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at a tall man standing at the payment window.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't recognize him, but she did. That man was Zhou Xiye's political commissar, Li Zhiguo!
She refused to believe that Li Zhiguo hadn't heard the conversation just now.
With a smug smirk, Song Wanying went to the ward, where she was staying with Jiang Zhenhua during his hospital stay.
She didn't plan to tell Jiang Zhizhi about this.
Once Jiang Zhenhua and his wife die, everything those two old bastards have left will be hers!
...&
Jiang Zhizhi accompanied Yang Fengmei to the outpatient clinic for a check-up. The doctor made a preliminary diagnosis that there might be a problem with her liver and prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine to be decocted and taken at home.
He also comforted Yang Fengmei, saying, "Sister-in-law, after you go back and drink the Chinese medicine, you should try to avoid getting angry. Don't keep everything bottled up inside, as anger can damage your liver."
Yang Fengmei repeatedly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
As he left the clinic, he said to Jiang Zhizhi, "The doctors in the city are really amazing. All that blind man Liang in the village can do is give me some painkillers, but they're completely useless."
Jiang Zhizhi also thought the doctor was quite amazing. He didn't need any testing equipment at all. He just flipped Yang Fengmei's eyelids, took her pulse, and pressed her stomach, and he was able to find the lesion and prescribe medicine.
In the future, these will all be highly sought-after specialists who will be impossible to get an appointment with!
She found a place for Yang Fengmei to sit and wait while she went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
When I went to pay, I found that half a month's supply of traditional Chinese medicine was only 1.5 yuan, which was quite cheap.
While waiting for the nurses to dispense the medicine, Jiang Zhizhi sighed with admiration, then noticed a tall, robust, serious-looking middle-aged man in military uniform walking towards her.
Jiang Zhizhi was originally leaning against the window, but when the man walked over, she unconsciously straightened her small body.
Li Zhiguo frowned as he looked at Jiang Zhizhi: "You're Jiang Zhizhi?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Yes, Chief, do you know me?"
Li Zhiguo was surprised to find that the girl who was rumored to be dark-skinned and ugly was actually a pretty young woman. However, she had been quite impolite in her conversation with Sun Xiaoyue. He straightened his expression and said, "Hello, I am Li Zhiguo, the political commissar of Zhou Xiye."
Jiang Zhizhi was shocked; he was actually Zhou Xiye's boss!
How could he know himself?
Thinking back to Sun Xiaoyue's unusual behavior just now, I see!
He nodded calmly to Li Zhiguo and asked, "Political Commissar Li, is there something you need from me?"
Thinking about Zhou Xiye's resistance, Li Zhiguo decided to get straight to the point: "You've been in northern Gansu for so long without visiting Zhou Xiye. Are you unwilling to accept this marriage? Well, Zhou Xiye is also very resistant to this marriage."
"How about we call off this marriage? Then you won't have to hide from Zhou Xiye anymore."
Jiang Zhizhi's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Li Zhiguo to bring this up right away. But thinking about it, it made sense. Zhou Xiye had already reconciled with the beauty, so her presence was indeed awkward.
He immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, this marriage was forced upon Zhou Xiye in the first place, so I agree to cancel the marriage."
My heart ached as if it had been squeezed by a large hand, but I still wore a faint smile on my face.
