"Dad..." Jiang Zhize was stunned. He knew that Jiang Chao and Liu Chunhua had been having conflicts for some time, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chao would still say such words at this time.

"Dad, Mom is really very sick. I just touched her forehead and it was terribly hot. My sister is still young. You should go back and take a look."

"I told you not to go, why don't you understand me?" People were still playing cards, Jiang Chao kicked Jiang Zhize on the butt, and said with a dark face amid everyone's jeers, "Isn't she capable? Doesn't she refuse to go back to work? Then don't come to me if she's sick! Unless she comes to apologize to me in person!"

"Brother Chao is awesome."

"Brother Chao is awesome."

There were waves of people making a fuss, and Jiang Zhize stared blankly. The shrill laughter seemed to take root in his heart. He wanted to say something, but Jiang Chao glared at him again.

"You little bastard, get out of here and stop disturbing me while I'm drawing cards!"

Jiang Zhize was kicked and stumbled back. When he got home, the young doctor was already feeding Liu Chunhua medicine, and the little Jiang Ruyi was lying on the bed watching.

"Mom, are you feeling better?"

Liu Chunhua opened her eyes and saw that he was in a mess. She seemed to have guessed what had happened. "You are covered in mud. Go wash it. I'm fine. I'll get up and cook for you after taking a rest."

"You are already in this state, why are you still cooking!" Jiang Zhize stepped forward and held her down, with a complicated look on his usually mischievous face. "Just focus on recuperating. I will take care of the family affairs. I will take good care of you and your sister."

Seeing that he never mentioned Jiang Chao, Jiang Ruyi pulled his sleeve unhappily, "Where's Dad?"

Jiang Zhize was shocked by the question. He met Liu Chunhua's eyes and subconsciously didn't want her to know what Jiang Chao said. "I... I didn't find my father. Maybe he will come back by himself later."

"You don't have to cover up for him." Liu Chunhua saw it and sighed deeply, "I know he doesn't want to come back."

The village is so small that all the neighbors knew that she was sick and had alerted the young doctor. Several groups of people who came to see her left. How could Jiang Chao not have received the news?

The fact that he didn't come back only meant that he didn't want to come back, not that he didn't find anything.

"Chunhua, your condition is serious. Your fever is almost 39 degrees. Someone must take care of you during this period of time. Otherwise, you should go and call Jiang Chao back." The young doctor took the medicine bottle and gave careful instructions.

Liu Chunhua shook her head. "No need. It's enough to have the boss take care of me."

The young doctor knew about their family situation and could only sigh when he saw the situation. Before leaving, he left some medicine for a few more days and told Jiang Zhize to go to the health center to find him if it was not enough.

After everyone left, Liu Chunhua propped herself up and sat up, "Boss, come here."

"Mom." Jiang Zhize walked over sullenly. He was already grown up and could understand some things between men and women. It was clearly wrong for his father and mother to be like this.

Liu Chunhua didn't want to hide it anymore, and directly took out 5 yuan from under the quilt, "I've been sick these few days, and the family can only rely on you. Go buy whatever the family needs, don't let you and your sister starve, and don't spend this money recklessly."

"I understand, mother." Jiang Zhize took the money and wanted to say something, but Liu Chunhua had already closed her eyes tiredly. He opened his mouth and said, "Then I'll go cook some porridge first. When mother is hungry, she can eat it anytime."

"Well, go ahead."

There was a sound of a door closing in the room, and Jiang Ruyi moved to Liu Chunhua's side, [How is it, are you feeling bad? ]

Liu Chunhua knew that she was asking about Jiang Chao. After all, they were husband and wife, and even if there were some conflicts, Liu Chunhua had never thought of standing idly by and watching his affairs. Now that she was so sick, he was unwilling to even come back to see her.

It's heartbreaking to talk about it.

"Let's find a house as soon as I recover." Liu Chunhua made up her mind. Jiang Ruyi knew that she was really disappointed.

But her illness this time was really serious. It took a week for her to recover. During this week, Jiang Zhize made Jiang Ruyi look at him with new eyes.

Not only did he stay at home every day, he also fed her medicine and cooked on time. He was afraid that Liu Chunhua and her would have difficulty digesting the food, so he took the trouble to make some delicate food. As a result, Jiang Ruyi had a better impression of him.

The only sad thing is that Jiang Chao never came back from beginning to end. Not only that, as if to go against Liu Chunhua, he swaggered in and out of Widow Zhang's house. He used to know how to avoid it, but now it seemed like he was deliberately provoking her. When others talked about it, Liu Chunhua coughed several times out of anger.

"Mom, the doctor said that after drinking this bowl of medicine, you won't have to drink it anymore." Jiang Zhize smiled naively. The hard work of the past few days made him look calmer.

"Boss, you've worked hard." Liu Chunhua saw this and suddenly had an idea in her mind, "Boss, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"Ah? What?" Jiang Zhize was stunned. Liu Chunhua didn't say it clearly, but reminded him, "You can't stay at home all your life. You have to find a job in the future. What mother means is that you have to figure out what you want to do in the future."

"I don't know about that."

"Forget it. You won't be able to figure it out for a while. Think about it carefully. I'll ask you again later." Liu Chunhua said as she lifted the quilt and got off the kang. "I have something else to do right now. I have to go out for a while. You can just eat whatever you want for lunch."

"Okay." Jiang Zhize was still immersed in the previous question. While he was distracted, Liu Chunhua had already changed her clothes and took Jiang Ruyi out.

She had been ill for so long that all the business had been left to Zhao Tiezhu. Now that she was able to go out to the fields, she had to go over and see if there was anything wrong.

[Actually, you don’t have to be so anxious.] Jiang Ruyi was held by her and changed to a comfortable position.

"Why not? We have a lot of stuff to sell right now, and I don't know if the quantity we prepare each time is enough."

[That's not what I'm talking about.] Jiang Ruyi raised her head, [You wanted to bring Jiang Zhize to do business just now, but have you ever thought that he knows nothing about these things, and we have already attracted attention every time we go in and out. If we bring him along, wouldn't it be obvious to others that we are doing something behind people's backs?]

"I know, I just mentioned it." Liu Chunhua wanted to take Jiang Zhize with her. After all, he was her son, and of course she wanted to lead him up the right path. But she also knew that Jiang Ruyi was right. There were a lot of rumors in the village, and she vaguely began to feel that she might not be able to keep the fact that she was doing business a secret for much longer.

What should we do if that time really comes?
