Chapter 278 They're really divorced.
Jiang Zhizhi never expected that when she woke up after taking a nap, Fang Hua and Zhou Chengzhi had gone to get a divorce!
After breakfast, packing up, and preparing to visit Jin Huaiying, Fang Hua returned with a beaming smile, carrying a string of firecrackers.
Jiang Zhizhi was very surprised: "Mom, where did you go so early in the morning?"
Fang Hua handed the firecrackers to Zhou Xiye: "Go set them off at the door to ward off bad luck."
Then, smiling at Jiang Zhizhi, he said, "I divorced your father early this morning. The organization tried to persuade me, but I said, 'If anyone tries to persuade me, I'll drink pesticide and commit suicide when I get home today.'"
"They definitely won't dare to persuade me anymore. I can just go and complete the formalities tomorrow."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't expect the divorce to be so easy: "It's that simple? My dad didn't say anything?"
Fang Hua sneered: "The reason it's so simple is because your dad was yelling from the side, 'Do it! Do it now, you have to get a divorce!'"
Zhou Chengzhi originally wanted to get a divorce, but the people in the organization persuaded Fang Hua, and she would definitely change her mind.
As a result, Fang Hua actually threatened those people, leaving him humiliated and enraged. He stubbornly insisted on getting a divorce.
Jiang Zhizhi thought this matter would take at least a year and a half to resolve, but she didn't expect it to be settled so quickly: "Mom, then..."
Fang Hua waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm in a great mood. You have no idea how much lighter I felt on my way back. I haven't been as happy as I am today in all these years."
"I finally don't have to get angry with him every day, and I don't have to take care of his eating, drinking and toileting."
Jiang Zhizhi linked arms with Fang Hua and looked at Zhou Xiye: "Go set off firecrackers. Mom is in a good mood today, so let's celebrate with some firecrackers."
When Zhou Xiye returned after setting off firecrackers, Fang Hua seriously discussed with the two of them: "Your father and I are divorced. I definitely won't be living in this house anymore. You can stay if you want, or come with me to your second uncle's house if you don't want to."
"However, it's cold, so it's more convenient for you to stay here. You can move over when it gets warmer."
Jiang Zhizhi asked in surprise, "Mom, you're not moving today, are you? Can't you wait until after the New Year?"
Fang Hua thought for a moment and shook her head: "We're divorced, it's not appropriate for me to live here."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Mom, as long as you've made up your mind, we'll go wherever you go."
Living in a courtyard house isn't so bad. Although there are many inconveniences, it's very lively.
Just as Zhou Xiye was about to speak, Zhou Chengzhi entered with a stern face, followed by his secretary and driver. He didn't even look at anyone else as he entered, and waved his hand to direct, "Move the things out of the study and my room upstairs."
The two responded and quickly went to tidy up.
Zhou Chengzhi glared at Fang Hua angrily: "You can stay in the house, I'm moving out."
Fang Hua frowned: "No need, I have a place to stay."
Zhou Chengzhi sneered: "You keep saying I'm selfish, but aren't you selfish too? You go to your parents' house and live with them. What if Xiye and Zhizhi have a child and they have to live there too?"
“Living here will make things convenient for their children in the future. You old fool, now you’re so ambitious and want to move out, what will happen to my grandson?”
After saying that, he huffed and left with the words, "Selfish bastard!"
Then he went to the study to instruct on how to pack things.
Fang Hua glared angrily: "You..."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly stopped Fang Hua: "Mom, don't be angry. I think Dad is right. Since Dad isn't coming back, you can stay here."
Fang Hua was unhappy: "Living here will only make us a laughingstock in the courtyard?"
Jiang Zhizhi whispered, "Your health isn't good, so it's better for you to stay here in winter. Right now, you need to keep warm as much as possible and avoid catching a cold."
Zhou Xiye agreed: "Winter is too cold, let's talk about it after the New Year. You don't need to care about the people in the courtyard."
Fang Hua didn't say anything. Actually, Zhou Chengzhi was right about one thing: if Xiye and Zhizhi's child were raised in the compound, they would have many benefits.
Zhou Chengzhi quickly came out again, glanced at Fang Hua, and said in a still aggressive tone: "I'm leaving. The house is yours. Don't worry, I won't come back unless something happens."
After saying that, he waved and left with the two of them.
Jiang Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated, feeling that Zhou Chengzhi at this moment was like a child who had run away from home in a fit of pique.
Fang Hua remained silent and did not mention moving out again.
Jiang Zhizhi packed some meat and two frozen fish, and went with Zhou Xiye to see Jin Huaiying.
Since it was still early, Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye went to the street to find Jin Huaiying and helped him sweep the street.
After finishing, Jiang Zhizhi wanted to drag Jin Huaiying to the cafeteria for a meal: "Today is the Little New Year, let's have a good meal right here, a bowl of noodles with soybean paste each, and a meat roll with sauce, okay?"
Jin Huaiying was about to refuse when Jiang Zhizhi snatched his trash can and slung it over her shoulder, then took his broom: "Dr. Jin, it's just one meal. I'm your student. A teacher is like a father or mother, so can't I be considered your child too? You can't even treat me to a meal during the New Year? Do you not want to teach me anymore?"
He half-coaxed and half-tricked Jin Huaiying into going out for a meal.
Jiang Zhizhi originally wanted to buy Jin Huaiying a set of clothes, one that fit his figure, so he wouldn't be able to refuse.
But Zhou Xiye stopped her: "In Teacher Jin's current condition, it's not suitable for her to wear new clothes. It would be too conspicuous and attract attention. There are many kind people, but there are also many people with malicious intentions, which would bring unnecessary trouble to Teacher Jin."
Jiang Zhizhi thought it made sense. After all, there were all sorts of monsters and demons around, and the more miserable Jin Huaiying was, the safer she would be.
After eating and returning home, Jiang Zhizhi gave the meat and fish to Jin Huaiying.
After hesitating for a moment, Jin Huaiying said, "I appreciate your kindness, but... take the fish back, and as for the meat, stew it and put it in an earthenware pot and bring it to me."
Jiang Zhizhi immediately understood what he meant. If he stewed meat at home, it would be a problem if the neighbors smelled the aroma.
If even one of them harbors ill intentions, then Mr. Jin will be in trouble.
Jiang Zhizhi immediately nodded: "I'll stew it when I get back, and seal it with lard so it can last a long time. You can just put some in when you cook noodles."
Jin Huaiying nodded: "Don't send any more gifts in the future. I understand your good intentions. I'm fine with just enough to eat by myself now."
How is your mother-in-law's health lately? Has she felt any better?
Jiang Zhizhi took out the prescription: "Her health has improved a lot. I took her pulse last night, and she was much better than before. I could also feel that her body was weak and hollow. Teacher, could I add more of this medicine to the prescription?"
It is a traditional Chinese medicine that replenishes qi and blood.
Jin Huaiying looked at Jiang Zhizhi with surprise, then nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. You've really improved a lot. You can adjust the prescription according to the patient's physical changes. That's very good."
After sincerely praising them, he said, "I've also dried some herbs in my spare time. See if you can use them, but be careful as some of them are moldy."
Jiang Zhizhi asked in surprise, "Then how come the Chinese medicine you prescribed for Zhou Xiaochuan before, which contained a lot of mold, was fine?"
Zhou Xiaochuan's prescriptions were all given by Jin Huaiying, while Fang Hua's prescriptions were provided and she went to the hospital's traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy to get them.
