Chapter 71 Nobody Gets an Easy Life
After listening to Jiang Zhizhi's words, Li Zhiguo nodded with a serious expression, but he felt a little strange. Although it was the first time he had met Jiang Zhizhi, he felt that she was not like the rumors.
The little girl was pretty, with clear and honest eyes.
They are nothing like the sinister and vicious people they've been rumored to be!
He lived for over forty years and served in the military for over twenty years; it's still possible to tell whether he's a human or a ghost.
He had a moment of doubt, but didn't think much of it, since he had refused the marriage proposal as Zhou Xiye had told him to.
Looking back, this can be considered as giving Zhou Xiye an explanation. As for Zhou's father, we'll talk about that later.
Li Zhiguo nodded to Jiang Zhizhi: "Okay, it's settled then. I'll withdraw the marriage application when I get back."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, your father is also in the hospital. You should go and see him."
Having served as a political cadre for so many years, I can't help but say a few words.
Jiang Zhizhi was taken aback, not expecting that it was Jiang Zhenhua who was hospitalized: "Thank you, Political Commissar Li, I'll go see him in a bit."
Li Zhiguo left satisfied, thinking that when he saw Zhou Xiye later, he could talk to him about how the thorny problem had been solved and how he could focus on training from now on.
...
Jiang Zhizhi felt a little sad, then took her medicine to find Yang Fengmei. As for relationships, she quickly and decisively comforted herself, deciding that if she couldn't have relationships, she should focus on her career!
But I always felt a sense of suffocation and inexplicable grievance in my heart.
She knew very well that this emotion was not hers, but rather a remnant of the original owner. She felt sad when she heard that Jiang Zhenhua was hospitalized, and she felt even more sad and aggrieved when she thought that Jiang Zhenhua was hospitalized but was not notified, and that Sun Xiaoyue was only sent over.
She sighed inwardly. Clearly, this was Song Wanying's idea, and Song Wanying didn't want to see her again.
They felt that once she married Zhou Xiye, she would have no further connection with the Jiang family, and they could then treat Sun Xiaoyue well.
After some consideration, she decided to go see Jiang Zhenhua. After all, Jiang Zhenhua had treated her well, and she was using the original owner's body, so even if it was in her place, she had to go see him.
He handed the medicine to Yang Fengmei and said, "Auntie, please sit here for a while while I go upstairs to see a patient."
Yang Fengmei found everything fascinating and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I definitely won't wander around. My goodness, there are so many people in the city, I wouldn't dare to wander around."
Jiang Zhizhi went to the inpatient department, asked for Jiang Zhenhua's ward, and went straight there.
As she reached the ward door and was about to knock, she heard Song Wanying mention her name: "That Jiang Zhizhi, what an ingrate."
Jiang Zhenhua's voice was somewhat weak: "Forget it, no matter what, Zhizhi is still the child we raised. She used to be a good child. Now she's just having a moment of weakness. We can't hold a grudge against a child."
Song Wanying sneered: "Why would I stoop to her level? Look at how badly she's bullied Xiaoyue!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became: "Xiaoyue came to the countryside for her sake, and look at the kind of life she's had. It's only been a short time, and she's already lost a lot of weight. When I think about how good I've been to Jiang Zhizhi all these years, I regret it."
Sun Xiaoyue quickly pulled Song Wanying aside: "Mom, don't say that. Going to the countryside was my own choice. Zhizhi definitely didn't know that my dad was sick, otherwise she would definitely have come. After all, my dad was so good to her. When he left Beijing, he gave her food coupons, money, and an industrial coupon."
Song Wanying paused for a moment, then raised her voice: "You're still giving her money and food coupons? I've already given her enough for her travel expenses."
Jiang Zhenhua said helplessly, "Wanying, Zhizhi is a child we raised. We've watched her grow up. Don't you know her character? She's a little spoiled and sometimes throws tantrums, but isn't that all because we spoiled her?"
"But she's still kind at heart. When you had your miscarriage, Zhizhi cried and went from house to house asking for brown sugar for you."
"Children are young, and their mistakes can be corrected..."
Before Song Wanying and Sun Xiaoyue could speak again, Jiang Zhizhi pushed the door open and came in. She finally understood why she was suddenly so sad. It turned out that Jiang Zhenhua was still very good to the original owner.
At the very least, they are very rational and can distinguish right from wrong.
Jiang Zhizhi pretended not to see Song Wanying and Sun Xiaoyue, walked to the bedside, and looked at Jiang Zhenhua, who was much thinner than when he was in Beijing: "Dad, I just heard from Political Commissar Li downstairs that you are sick. I wrote you two letters, but you didn't reply to me. I thought you didn't want me to know."
When the letter was mentioned, Song Wanying's expression changed.
Jiang Zhenhua was puzzled for a moment, but seeing Song Wanying's expression, he understood what was going on. He patted the bedside and gestured for Jiang Zhizhi to sit down: "It's probably still in Beijing and hasn't been forwarded yet. Is your arm better?"
Jiang Zhizhi moved her right hand: "Hmm, my arm is all better now. Dad, what illness did you have? When did you come to the hospital?"
Song Wanying stood to the side with a cold face: "Your father is just overthinking things, and you're no better than him. You took so much money and food coupons, and even robbed Xiaoyue of them."
Sun Xiaoyue quickly tugged at Song Wanying's arm: "Mom, don't say anymore. It's my choice to give it to Zhizhi. She's all alone in the village, and I'm afraid she won't earn enough work points and will suffer."
Song Wanying was even more furious: "Nonsense! Jiang Zhizhi, you're nineteen this year! Not nine! How can you be so willful?"
“If you marry Zhou Xiye and live a good life with him, wouldn’t it help to get your father’s case investigated sooner? But instead of looking for Zhou Xiye, you secretly ran away here for your own sake.”
"How can you be so selfish? You threatened suicide because you wanted to marry Zhou Xiye. If you had just said you didn't want to marry him, Xiaoyue would have married him."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Sun Xiaoyue, who was clinging to Song Wanying's arm and looking pitiful, and said, "You can let her marry Zhou Xiye now."
Song Wanying's face contorted with rage: "Jiang Zhizhi!"
Then she looked at Jiang Zhenhua and said, "Look at her! Look at how she talks to me! Does she even consider me her mother anymore?"
Jiang Zhenhua felt a headache coming on. He coughed a few times and waved his hand at Song Wanying: "Keep your voice down. This is a hospital. Look at how aggressive you've been ever since Zhizhi walked in."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled slightly at Song Wanying, then looked at Jiang Zhenhua: "Dad, I really didn't come here thinking about marrying Zhou Xiye. Xiaoyue likes him, right? I think she can give it a try. However, she already has a boyfriend, so it's probably not going to work out."
Sun Xiaoyue knew that Jiang Zhizhi was no pushover.
She didn't want to tell Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying about her relationship with Jiang Donghua, fearing they would insist on meeting each other.
Seeing Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying in their current sorry state would only embarrass her!
Sure enough, upon hearing that Sun Xiaoyue was dating, Song Wanying forgot about attacking Jiang Zhizhi and pulled Sun Xiaoyue aside, asking, "Xiaoyue, you're dating someone? What does he do? Where is he from? What's his family's financial situation like?"
Sun Xiaoyue kept a sullen face and didn't want to answer.
Jiang Zhizhi answered slowly and enthusiastically from the side: "His name is Jiang Donghua, he's from Jinshi, and he was also an educated youth sent to the countryside, but he has many siblings..."
