Chapter 6 He actually spoke up for me
Ning Tang felt that Xu Qiaofeng glanced at her, whether it was her imagination or not.
Under Wenya's warning gaze, Ning Tang looked back and smiled at the Xu family: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. It's just that I've been learning traditional Chinese medicine since elementary school, which is completely different from Western medicine. I'm a little worried that..."
"Silly child, you're being modest again."
Grandma Xu waved her hand, "My heart disease flares up so badly that they can't do anything about it. I don't care about Western or Chinese medicine; as long as they can cure the disease and save lives, they're good doctors!"
Grandpa Xu echoed in a deep voice, "I already spoke with the hospital about this last night. I'll have Qiaofeng take you to report for duty next Monday. Since you're new here, your position isn't high or low, so you can get to know the older folks first."
"If we can truly cure the people in the future, it will be a good deed that will benefit future generations."
Ning Tang knew the answer.
This is her grandparents paving the way for her, and also indirectly supporting her.
She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. I will work hard and not let you down."
"Oh dear, you're pregnant. Let's not talk about these things as family." Grandma Xu waved her hand and put a piece of stir-fried meat on his plate. "Eat more. You're pregnant, and you're a hero in our Xu family now. Don't neglect yourself."
When Wenya saw this, she was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.
She's been married into the Xu family for so long, and she hasn't been able to pull any strings to get her younger brother a temporary job at the hospital.
Ning Tang is lucky; she got a secure job as soon as she entered the hospital, a place that most people would fight tooth and nail to get into!
The more she thought about it, the more resentful she became, and she kicked Xu Qiaoyan, who was eating silently, under the table.
“…You’re sick.” Xu Qiaoyan pretended not to see her gaze and continued eating with his head down.
Seeing that the man wasn't speaking up for her, and glancing at Ning Tang who was being pampered, Wen Ya couldn't help but say sarcastically:
"My sister-in-law is so lucky. She had such a good thing right after she entered the family. Unlike me, I can only do some logistics work in the neighborhood office."
Xu Qiaofeng hadn't spoken until he heard this, then he coldly looked up and glanced at Wenya.
"If you feel like it's too easy, Second Sister-in-law, I'll have Second Brother transfer you to another team?"
Wenya shuddered at the stare and gave an awkward laugh: "I was just saying it offhand. There's so much going on at the neighborhood office, how could I possibly get away?"
She would rather die than work in the team; there's little money to be made and the work is exhausting. It's nothing like the comfortable and carefree life in the neighborhood office's logistics department.
Her brother-in-law has a strange personality; when he sees his two sisters-in-law outside, he just nods without saying a word.
Wenya felt even worse today because she suddenly spoke up for Ning Tang. She suddenly felt sorry for Lu Niannian, who was recuperating abroad, and that her childhood sweetheart had been bewitched by a vixen!
No, she had to send a telegram to Lu Niannian right away!
Ning Tang, who was at the center of the storm, was completely unaffected by the turmoil at the dinner table.
Holding the bowl, they ate with great relish. In their past life, being beaten and starving was commonplace, and it had been a long time since they had eaten such a sumptuous meal.
Especially since the baby in her belly also needed nutrition, she ate even more heartily.
But he was somewhat surprised by Xu Qiaofeng's words. Why would he speak up for him?
Something unusual must be going on. Having lived an extra lifetime compared to others, Ning Tang is now particularly wary, especially when it comes to men.
But in any case, he saved himself a lot of trouble just now.
After finishing the meal.
Grandma Xu was just about to go out to find her old friends when Ning Tang called out to her, "Grandma, it's time for your follow-up check-up."
"They're here, they're here."
Ning Tang had just placed her fingers on her wrist when her brows furrowed involuntarily.
The pulse is thin and extremely numb, as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, much like the numb and hurried pulse among the ten strange pulses.
Seeing her expression, Grandma Xu asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Has Grandma's old ailment gotten worse again?"
Ning Tang withdrew her hand and said seriously, "Grandma, have you been feeling anxious lately, and are you prone to cold sweats at night?"
How did you know?
"About two weeks ago, I was sweating every night, and I thought it was just because of the heat." Grandma Xu paused for a moment, then nodded.
“It’s not because of the heat.” Ning Tang shook her head. “You have insufficient Qi and a bit of Yin deficiency. I’ll prescribe a medicine for you, and after a few doses, you won’t sweat anymore.”
As she spoke, she looked for paper and pen.
Xu Qiaofeng, who was standing aside preparing to leave, went into the study and handed over paper and pen.
Ning Tang was taken aback for a moment, then thanked her.
He quickly wrote down a prescription, his handwriting neat and legible.
"This medicine must be decocted in an earthenware pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for half an hour. Drink it once in the morning and once in the evening."
Ning Tang felt uneasy and prepared to go out to get the medicine herself.
Grandma Xu nudged Xu Qiaofeng, who was standing like a wooden statue: "Let him go with you."
"Now that we're married, we'll go to the photo studio to take a few more pictures. Grandma will hang them on the wall, and just looking at them makes her happy."
Xu Qiaofeng's eyelids twitched violently, and without thinking, he said, "Grandma, I need to go to a meeting at the team headquarters—"
Grandma Xu didn't want to listen to his nagging and glared at him.
"Your wife is carrying your baby, how can you just let her go out on her own like that?"
"Why don't you just have Grandpa call his subordinates to drive over?"
"You bastard, what's wrong with asking you to go out with your wife? Is it harder than rolling around in the mud at the farm? You have to go today, even if it means skipping the meeting!"
Xu Qiaofeng was speechless, his face dark and gloomy, even darker than the bottom of a pot.
He glanced at Ning Tang and saw her looking down at the prescription, seemingly indifferent. That strange feeling welled up in his heart again, but then he calmed down again.
The two left one after the other; the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and they looked perfectly matched.
Grandma Xu smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits, already imagining how handsome the baby would be when it was born.
No, she had to call her old friends right away and show those who had laughed at her for having no male heir and being unable to have children that her Xu family had an heir! And that she had conceived on the first try!
This way.
Xu Qiaofeng and Ning Tang had just left the compound when they encountered a man.
Young in age, with a handsome appearance and a particularly refined demeanor, Zhang Yanfei paused for a few seconds upon seeing Ning Tang before sweetly greeting her, "Is this your sister-in-law?"
As she spoke, she looked him over, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.
Yesterday, I heard in the team that Captain Xu was forced to get married by his family. His soldiers are all wondering whether the stern-faced devil will obey.
Everyone was told not to listen, but who would have thought that after a whole night, no one would have returned to the dormitory.
Early in the morning, she came out of the yard with a little girl. Even from a distance, her back view looked beautiful, but when she got closer, she was not just beautiful, she was like a fairy!
They all stared at this playboy in a daze. No wonder Xu Qiaofeng didn't come back; even he couldn't remain unmoved by her presence.
Ning Tang, unaware of the man's ulterior motives, smiled and nodded in greeting.
"Where are you going, sister-in-law? My car is parked right outside."
"You're blocking the way, move aside."
"Isn't Captain Xu going to a meeting? Let me give you a ride, sister-in-law..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qiaofeng stopped in his tracks and said coldly, "You're a chatterbox."
