Chapter 315
Even though she hadn't checked Song Qiao's background, given her age, she could work in a big hospital, so her family must be well off.
Moreover, she is beautiful, gentle and quiet, and knows medicine. She will definitely give them a healthy and fat grandson in the future.
As for using marriage to overcome difficulties, we can only think of other ways.
No one knows a mother better than her son. Wei Zhihe saw through his mother's intentions at a glance. He decisively rebuked her, "Don't say such unlucky words again!"
"Look! Doctor Song, look! He was so mean to me, I was really scared..." Wei Yufei pretended to be pitiful.
Song Qiao smiled gently and comforted her, "Auntie, you misunderstood. Captain Wei just cares too much about you. He doesn't mean to be mean to you."
She turned her eyes to the lunch box on the table. "Is this the meal he brought you? It looks delicious. What is it?"
Wei Yufei almost handed her the chopsticks to eat, but she was afraid that she would be considered dirty, so she held back, "This is the Kung Pao Chicken that Zhihe bought for me from the state-owned restaurant. It's delicious. If you want to try it, let Zhihe take you there."
"I didn't..." Before he could even utter the word "time", Wei Zhihe's refusal was interrupted.
"This is too much trouble! Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I can go there by myself when I have time and see if there are any other delicious foods. It seems that the state-owned restaurants here have a lot of variety."
Song Qiao was not a fool, she could see Wei Yufei's intention, but she had no interest in Wei Zhihe.
She just wanted to know Lin Ziqiu's past. All she cared about was whether Lin Ziqiu would return to the Shen family.
Once she is recognized, Shen Wufan will definitely not love her as much as before.
She was already a useless abandoned pawn.
Instead of staying in Su City anxiously waiting for the result, it is better to come here in person. Who knows, there may be a turning point.
It would be great if Lin Ziqiu could completely hate Shen Wufan.
Wei Yufei said with some regret, "It's okay. If you want to go somewhere, you can find my Zhihe and ask him to take you around."
She knew that Song Qiao was from Suzhou.
Song Qiao just smiled and didn't refuse directly.
Wei Zhihe came out of the ward and immediately found Dr. Du to learn about Song Qiao's background.
After all, during this critical period, there cannot be any hidden dangers around the mother.
Dr. Du is an old friend of Ruan's father who has known him for decades, and the two families have intertwined interests.
"My dear nephew, you can rest assured. This little Song is from a prominent family. She is the daughter of the Song family in Su City. She is not a person of questionable character. Moreover, this girl is very cultured and well-mannered, and she gets along well with your mother."
Suzhou City?
Song family?
Wei Zhihe immediately thought of Lin Ziqiu. What a coincidence.
He had heard a little about Lin Ziqiu's mother. Before, a man named Song Hui came and tried to persuade Lin Ziqiu to go back.
So this Song Qiao is also here for Lin Ziqiu?

Zhong Xuexi was on her wedding night last night, and Zhao Huaian tormented her until the late night before she fell asleep.
When Zhao's mother saw her son getting up in the morning, she walked over happily and said, "I've prepared breakfast, go and call Xuexi to get up and eat!"
Zhao Huaian coughed twice: "Let her sleep a little longer!"
After all, Hu Junli is an experienced person. Seeing her son's expression, it's clear to her.
"You, even though you're newlyweds, you can't be too excessive..."
Zhao Huaian's ears turned red, and he didn't dare to look his mother in the eye. "I... I'm hungry. I'm going to have breakfast."
Her son fled in panic. Hu Junli pursed her lips and smiled, then followed him. Her daughter-in-law hadn't gotten up yet, so fearing that she would be hungry when she woke up, she considerately kept breakfast in the pot to keep it warm.
Zhao Ping's schedule is quite tight, and he will leave for his unit this afternoon. Although his son was not able to join the army, he can now complete his marriage, which makes him feel much better.
Breakfast was on the table, and she couldn't help but give him a few more instructions, her words full of favoritism towards her daughter-in-law Zhong Xuexi, telling her "bastard son" not to bully others.
After all, she is the granddaughter of his old comrade-in-arms, and he doesn't want to be ashamed to see her in the afterlife.
"You don't have to tell me that I can't bear to bully her!"
Zhao Huaian is definitely a love-brained man and a wife-slave.
Zhao Ping said with a straight face: "I don't dare to believe what you said."
The Ruan family’s previous experience is a lesson for us.
"Old Shen, don't worry. I'm here at home. I will definitely protect my daughter-in-law." Hu Junli is still very satisfied with her daughter-in-law Zhong Xuexi.
After all, her son had refused to go on blind dates before, and she was so worried that she suspected that her son had a mental disorder and liked men!
In her eyes, Zhong Xuexi simply saved her son!
Zhao Ping nodded, "Well, listen to your wife, children and mother at home, and don't let me find a chance to come back and cut you down!"
Zhao Huaian: “…” Is this the lowest end of the food chain?
-
Zhong Xuexi opened her eyes and found that the sun was already high in the sky outside.
She woke up at around six in the morning, thinking that she couldn't sleep in on the first day after her marriage, otherwise she would leave a bad impression on her mother-in-law.
As a result, as soon as she sat up, Zhao Huaian pulled her back and told her to take a nap before getting up together.
Zhong Xuexi was already very sleepy and her whole body was aching, so she agreed and tried to take a nap for a few more minutes.
How come it’s already noon when I take a nap?
There was an empty seat next to her. Zhong Xuexi was panicked and angry. Why did he get up without calling her?
She hurriedly got up from the bed, her mind full of thoughts about how she would face her parents-in-law.
When I went downstairs from the second floor, I happened to run into my mother-in-law who had already put the dishes on the table and was preparing for lunch.
"Mom——" Zhong Xuexi stood there in a daze, like a child who had done something wrong.
Hu Junli had no intention of blaming her, and smiled, "Xue Xi, you're awake, wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"
Zhong Xuexi reacted and hurried forward to serve the dishes, "Mom, I'm sorry, I overslept..."
"You were exhausted after a long day yesterday, so it's okay to sleep in. Besides, this is not your fault. It's all Xiuyuan's fault."
Hu Junli spoke as if it was a matter of course, putting all the blame on her son.
But it would have been better if she hadn't said this. As soon as she said it, Zhong Xuexi understood it immediately. Her face turned red and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"Mom! The pot... the pot is on fire, go check it out!"
Behind her, Zhao Huaian heard what she just said, made up an excuse, and blushed as he pulled Zhong Xuexi to his side, "Are you...are you okay?"
Zhong Xuexi bit her lower lip and nodded.
Hu Junli looked at her son and daughter-in-law, each one more shy than the other, and when she thought of how fearless they were that day, she couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I...I'll go check on the pot..."
Seeing her mother-in-law leave, Zhong Xuexi touched her red cheeks, frowned and complained angrily: "Why didn't you get up and call me? You got up secretly by yourself, causing me... to leave a bad impression on mom... It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"
She raised her fist and hit him on the arm a few times with some grievance.
Zhao Huaian hurriedly coaxed, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I was just thinking about last night... well, you were tired, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer."
"And don't worry, my mother definitely doesn't blame you. You just heard it. If she wants to blame someone, she will only blame me."
"You... you still have the nerve to say that!" Zhong Xuexi snorted, "As a punishment, you are not allowed to sleep with me... with me for a month!"
"Stop it, my wife! You want to suffocate me to death..." Zhao Huaian was anxious. He could still hold it in before he started eating meat, but after tasting it last night, he lost control and made her cry.
In fact, apart from feeling very painful the first time last night, Zhong Xuexi later experienced what "happiness" really meant.
So even though she was tormented until the early morning, she did not blame Zhao Huaian.
Her man... is too fierce...
"Wife, isn't this punishment too harsh? How can we eat vegetarian food when we are newlyweds? How about we wait until next month to punish you? Can you give me a lighter punishment?"
Zhao Huaian looked eagerly and tried to discuss it further.
Zhong Xuexi pursed her rosy lips and was about to speak when she saw her father-in-law Zhao Ping coming out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of yam and pork ribs soup.
"Xuexi is awake," Zhao Ping put the bowl of soup on the dining table and looked at Zhong Xuexi kindly, "This is the yam and pork ribs soup that your mother-in-law made especially for you to nourish your body.
This is the elders' kindness. Even though Zhong Xuexi felt that she had just been
Zhong Xuexi nodded gratefully, "It smells so good, it feels like I drank two big bowls!"
"If you like it, eat more. If you have any other dishes you like, you can tell your mother-in-law. Although her cooking skills are not as good as your sister-in-law's, some home-cooked dishes are still good."
Having said that, he turned and went back into the kitchen.
"Wife, eat more to replenish your body."
Zhao Huaian served soup to his wife first while the dishes were on the table.
Zhong Xuexi didn't have the habit or upbringing to eat first without waiting for her elders, "I'll go see if there's anyone over there who can help."
It's impossible for her, as a daughter-in-law, to marry into the family and have nothing to do with anything and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
The food was all on the table. Maybe Hu Junli had informed her husband in advance, but no one mentioned her staying in bed any more.
She held the bowl and savoured the soup gently, feeling a warm feeling in her heart. The attitude of her parents-in-law towards her made her even more certain that she had made the right marriage.
Because she got up late and didn't cook, Zhong Xuexi took the initiative to clean up the dishes. However, she had just put away two bowls when Zhao Huaian snatched them away, "I'll wash them."
Originally, Zhong Xuexi was thinking that her father-in-law Zhao Ping would leave in the afternoon, so she cleaned up the dishes herself so that her husband and others could spend more time with her.
"Let him wash it."
Mother-in-law Hu Junli spoke.
Zhong Xuexi felt a little embarrassed.
She still insisted on helping to put all the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen. It was quite cute to see my husband wearing an ill-fitting apron and washing dishes diligently.
"By the way, is my second sister still in the Huang family?"
Zhao Huaian shook his head. "I heard that he left last night. Luckily he left in time. I don't know why Wei Zhihe was crazy last night. He even ran to the door of Huang's house to make trouble. I wonder how he guessed that Sister Jia would be there."
Zhong Xuexi got up late, so she didn't know anything about these things.
"That damn Wei Zhihe! Why does he have to haunt us? If it weren't for him, my second sister wouldn't have to hide even when she goes home!"
A hint of hostility flashed across Zhao Huaian's eyes, "The Ruan family won't be able to survive for much longer."
"Is this reliable? Ruan Qiang is in a high position after all... Who can bring him down?"
Zhong Xuexi asked him in a low voice.
Zhao Huaian gave her a look and said, "My old man said so."
Zhong Xuexi suddenly realized, "Then the Ruan family should have no chance of escaping. No one in their family should be left behind!"
"There's no need to talk about the Ruan family father and son. As for Wei Yufei, she hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. I asked someone about it and found out that there's no cure. She's just being kept on medication."
Zhao Huaian paid attention to everything that Zhong Xuexi cared about.
Zhong Xuexi clapped her hands, "This is her retribution! She used to bully my second sister and Nian Nian, so it's too easy for her to go to jail. Let the disease torture her to death!"
She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Zhao Huaian understood the hatred she had for the Ruan family, and that she was venting her resentment for her own stupidity over the past few decades.
"Be good, when Zhong Yu came to our house to deliver the newspaper today, he told me that we have to go out tomorrow afternoon."
"Where are you going?"
…
Zhao Ping was leaving for the 3pm train. Hu Junli said nothing, but she was actually very reluctant to leave. She has been separated from her husband for many years, and if her son hadn't been around, she felt that she might not have been able to hold on.
But this is also the current situation of many military wives.
Zhong Xuexi and Zhao Huaian also went to see him off. As soon as they left the military compound, Lin Dahai, who was guarding the door, immediately stood up excitedly.
But he didn't dare to get closer because he only recognized Zhong Xuexi.
He didn't know the others at all.
Yan Tianhe flicked away the cigarette butt in his hand and pulled Lin Dahai aside. "Someone you know?"
Lin Dahai originally wanted to sneak into the military compound with Yan Tianhe, but Yan Tianhe had no intention of going in at all, so the two of them stayed outside for most of the day.
"That girl is my daughter's sister-in-law."
"Your daughter is...Lin Ziqiu?"
Yan Tianhe's face was filled with shock. Wei Zhihe asked him to keep an eye on the Zhong family. Isn't Lin Ziqiu one of them?
"Do you know my daughter?"
Lin Dahai also expressed surprise.
Yan Tianhe adjusted his mood. He had a mission to complete, so naturally he couldn't reveal too much to Lin Dahai.
"Who in the compound doesn't know Captain Zhong's daughter-in-law?"
Lin Dahai thought about it and said, "I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the people in the compound!"
Yan Tianhe coughed dryly, "Not really, but a few big shots are aware of it. Your daughter is so lucky to marry Captain Zhong. I heard before that she was originally going to marry the youngest of the Zhong family, but she ran away with another woman on the wedding day. I guess no one thought that she would turn around and marry someone better."
In fact, Lin Dahai was extremely disdainful of the fact that Lin Ziqiu had married so well. It was because of Lin Ziqiu's marriage that he became completely out of control.
With Zhong Heyang's support, she didn't take him as her father seriously at all.
"You are Captain Zhong's father-in-law, so why don't the guards let you in? Don't they know you?"
As Yan Tianhe spoke, he thought of something else. There were rumors before the rainstorm that Lin Ziqiu was badly bullied at her mother's house, and it was Ruan Qing who went to support and protect her.
This incident caused a sensation in the whole city at the time. For no other reason, everyone was curious about what kind of ability Lin Ziqiu had that could make a love rival stand up for him and even forbid anyone to sell grain to the Lin family.
If Lin Ziqiu hadn’t been mentioned just now, Yan Tianhe really wouldn’t have thought of this.
Lin Dahai's face changed slightly. "It's my unfilial daughter. I worked so hard to raise her, and I didn't ask her to repay me for anything. But she turned against me and thought I was not good to her. If I was not good to her, how could I find such a good marriage for her to marry into the Zhong family? She is an ungrateful person."
Yan Tianhe was not interested in these things, but he pretended to be open-minded.
Lin Dahai sighed deeply, "You don't know how irritating she is. Her grandmother finally found her, but she refused to recognize her. How could there be someone as ungrateful as her?"
Yan Tianhe asked, "Then you came to her to persuade her about this, right?"
