Chapter 62: Wang Shufen's Illness
She suppressed the urge to swear and patiently said, "You misunderstood. I just wanted to remind you that your body is not suitable for eating too much seafood."
"What's wrong with that? Seafood isn't a 'trigger food' (food that can trigger allergies or other adverse reactions)."
Wang Shufen naturally didn't believe Bai Zhi's words.
I've never heard of anyone being unable to eat seafood, and she's not allergic to it.
Wang Tingting deliberately went against Bai Zhi, serving Wang Shufen prawns and crabs.
Bai Zhi coldly watched their reckless behavior and rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Idiot!
After finishing her second crab, Wang Shufen was still a little uneasy while eating shrimp, so she looked at Lu Shan for advice.
"Shanshan, you're a doctor too. Tell me, can I eat seafood with this illness?"
Lu Shan already found the dinner table too noisy and just wanted to finish her meal quickly and leave. Suddenly, Wang Shufen threw a question at her, and she raised her cold eyes, "What?"
Wang Shufen glanced at Bai Zhi and said, "Bai Zhi just said that my health condition isn't suitable for eating seafood. Can you tell me if I can eat it?"
"Second Aunt, I don't know much about your illness, so I can't give you a proper answer."
Wang Shufen was very dissatisfied with Lu Shan's answer. "You are an authoritative surgeon at the military hospital. How can you not understand? You can't just let Bai Zhi talk nonsense to avoid embarrassing her."
Lu Shan said indifferently, "Second Aunt, everyone has their own expertise. I'm a surgeon. You should consult your attending physician about your condition."
After Lu Shan finished speaking, she continued eating.
Wang Shufen didn't get a definite answer, and she didn't want to believe Bai Zhi's words from the bottom of her heart.
This girl has already made several alarmist statements today.
She's perfectly fine; I curse her to become paralyzed.
Now even eating seafood spoils her mood.
This is a deliberate retaliatory retaliation for her causing trouble at the pharmacy today.
The others didn't eat much crab, so Wang Tingting put another one in Wang Shufen's bowl.
"Okay, Tingting, I can't finish eating."
When his second son and his wife came back to stay, Grandpa Lu was initially quite happy, but on the second day, he wanted to kick them out.
His second child didn't mention buying two and getting one free before.
While their own grandson is nowhere to be seen, other people's children are here fawning over them.
Bai Zhi is Lu Ye's fiancée!
Lu Ye hasn't returned yet, and the already precarious engagement has been further jeopardized by Wang Tingting's meddling.
Grandpa Lu drank a bowl of fish soup, ate a few bites of cold dishes, and then put down his chopsticks.
He'll have to talk to Lu Shaoan later. If he still lets Wang Tingting cook, he'll tell the couple to get out of here.
Seeing that the old man had finished eating and was about to go back to his room, Xie Yun brought up the important matter, "Dad, Zheng'an and I have found a place for Xiaozhi to stay, and she will move there tomorrow."
Upon hearing Xie Yun's words, Old Master Lu's sallow face lost its smile. "Move out tomorrow? How will Xiao Zhi live alone out there?"
Bai Zhi smiled and explained, "Grandpa Lu, the house my uncle and aunt found for me is quite close to the pharmacy, so it's convenient for me to go to work. Don't worry about it. Just stay home and take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you when I have time."
"Xiaozhi, you're living comfortably at home, why do you insist on moving out? Don't feel embarrassed, this is your home from now on."
Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly, "Grandpa Lu, if I don't move out, my uncle will take me back to Bincheng. He said that girls shouldn't live in other people's houses like this."
Bai Zhi's words successfully silenced Elder Lu.
His face was full of worry, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
If Lu Ye doesn't come back, the girl definitely won't stay at their house without a proper reason.
Such a wonderful girl, and she's about to fly away.
At this moment, besides his dissatisfaction with Lu Ye, Old Master Lu was more worried than anything else.
Concerned about Lu Ye's safety.
For a while now, my son and daughter-in-law have been leaving early and returning late, sometimes not even for days at a time, and they look very haggard.
He always felt that they were hiding something.
His intuition told him it was related to his eldest grandson who never came home.
Since Bai Zhi wanted to move out, they had no choice but to comply with her wishes.
Fortunately, Bai Zhi is still in Nancheng.
Old Lu asked Xie Yun, "Xiao Yun, is the house you found for the child reliable? Is it safe? What's the environment like? Which street is it on? I'll go take a look later."
Xie Yun hurriedly made an excuse, "Dad, you don't need to go over there. It's right next to our school. It's a staff apartment building belonging to one of my colleagues. She went back to her hometown after summer vacation, so the apartment is empty. We can let Xiao Zhi stay there for a couple of months first."
"The school's housing is reassuring."
Old Master Lu was feeling down because Bai Zhi was moving out, and said he wanted to go back to his room to rest.
Lu Shan put down her chopsticks and helped the old man up.
Xie Yun finished eating and politely thanked Wang Tingting before returning to her room.
"Tingting, thank you for today, you've worked hard."
Wang Tingting gave a sweet smile, "Auntie, you're welcome."
Lu Shaoan was extremely embarrassed and insisted that Wang Tingting go back as soon as possible. Judging from the situation, if he didn't send her away, the girl would want to stay.
After Wang Tingting left, Lu Shaoan warned Wang Shufen, "Don't bring your niece here again."
Wang Shufen, however, didn't take it to heart. "Tingting came to visit the old man out of good intentions. She's a guest. Does that mean my family can't even come to see your old man?"
"It's not that we don't want her to see it, it's that we want her to have some sense so that she doesn't end up hurting herself and others."
Wang Shufen was far from unaware of this principle.
But she believes even more that happiness is something you have to fight for yourself.
Just like back then, when she first met Lu Shaoan on a blind date, he wasn't interested in her either, but he was eventually moved by her...
Therefore, happiness is in your own hands.
Even if Lu Ye were an iceberg, his passionate niece could warm him up.
Furthermore, Wang Shufen also thought of her parents' home...
Her brother wants to pursue a career in politics and will need her help.
Lu Shaoan said to Wang Shufen, "I'm going to Jincheng tomorrow. You stay home and take good care of the old man. Don't let Wang Tingting come over again."
Upon hearing his words, Wang Shufen asked with concern, "When is our son coming back?"
“I’ll go over and arrange some work. If he’s not too busy, I’ll ask him to come back and see the old man.”
Lu Ye was nowhere to be seen, and his son was also busy with work. How could the old man be in a good mood if he couldn't see his grandson?
When Wang Shufen heard that her son was coming home, her face immediately relaxed.
She misses her son too.
On her last night at the Lu family home, Bai Zhi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, her feelings somewhat complicated.
Starting tomorrow, she will be living under the same roof as Lu Ye. The thought of this fills her with a little bit of anticipation.
She lay in bed, her mind racing. In the middle of the night, thunder rumbled outside, followed by a violent storm.
She got up and closed the window, listening to the rain, which made it even harder for her to fall asleep.
The thunderstorms turned into moderate rain in the latter half of the night, and the temperature dropped sharply.
She pulled the covers up and forced herself to fall asleep.
When it got light, the rain outside had stopped. The weather was overcast and the temperature wasn't too high. I opened the window, breathed in the fresh air after the rain, and felt great.
She wore jeans and a shirt, her hair in a high ponytail. After tidying up the room, she put her belongings on the floor.
Xie Yun told me yesterday that I should travel light to work in the morning, and she would bring my luggage with me.
Bai Zhi carried only a cloth bag and went downstairs to go to work.
She wanted to leave early before Old Master Lu got up.
Otherwise, the old man's repeated admonitions would surely make him very sad.
As soon as Bai Zhi went downstairs, she saw Wang Shufen walking out of the bathroom with disheveled hair, a pained expression, and difficulty in her steps.
Without makeup or dressing up, Wang Shufen had a sallow complexion, heavy dark circles under her eyes, and a chubby face, making her look ten years older than her usual radiant self.
Seeing Bai Zhi come downstairs, she greeted her weakly, "Bai Zhi, are you awake?"
This woman's most notable characteristic is her carefree attitude and quick change of heart. Regardless of whether others want to talk to her or not, she doesn't hold grudges and always takes the initiative.
Bai Zhi replied, "Yes, I have to go to work."
"Wait a minute, don't go yet."
Wang Shufen was afraid that Bai Zhi would run away, so she quickly stopped her, saying, "I have something to ask you."
Bai Zhi was stopped in her tracks, so she had no choice but to halt. "What is it?"
"I almost died last night."
Wang Shufen looked sickly and held up her fingers for Bai Zhi to see. "Look at my fingers, they're swollen and painful. My whole body is stiff and I have a fever. What could be the cause? Is it because I ate seafood?"
