Chapter 12: Dumplings with chives and eggs are delicious
Jiang Zhen touched Qi Junshan's body. His latest memory was the clearest. After being shot, he fled to his lover's house. His lover was not stupid and asked him if he had anything to do with the artillery fire that was still going on to suppress bandits.
"If you are a bandit, leave quickly and don't implicate me."
Qi Junshan really had some feelings for his lover. Hearing the noise in the closet, he knew it was indeed a man who had not had time to put on his clothes. Seeing that his body was not as good as hers, he felt even more heartbroken: "When you took food, drinks, gold and silver from me, why didn't you ask if these things were stained with blood? You all deserve to die for using the things I gave you to support a man."
The woman wanted to call for help, but Qi Junshan grabbed her neck, intending to silence her and take away her money. He was injured and was unable to defeat two people at once. When the troops arrived, Qi Junshan was already dead.
It's not a pity that Qi Junshan died. Considering that Jiang Zhen was planning to hire someone to kill him, the organization department decided to find a reasonable reason so as not to alarm the person who hired the killer.
The murderer Jiang Zhen saw her. Although she was still wearing a mask at the time, he could tell she was pretty much the same by looking at her figure and voice.
"I went to see my elder sister just now. I also saw it. I heard the nurse call her Doctor Du, but my elder sister didn't like to talk to her."
"Du Qiuyi? The aunt of the An sisters, she really has motives and suspicions!" said Gu Liancheng.
It's just that she hides her personality too well and is very popular in the hospital, which makes the outspoken and aggressive older sister look more aggressive.
Jiang Zhen scratched his head when he heard this: "Why is there someone here? Is he either a relative or someone he knows?"
Gu Liancheng smiled bitterly: "Fancheng is so small, and the disputes over the past few decades are just due to family ties."
…
Jiang Zhen suddenly remembered something he hadn't paid attention to before: "Doctor Du's husband is in the hospital. He can't even stand properly with the help of the wall. He looked at me with a lot of emotions. Why do I feel like he knows me?"
If she wanted to know someone, it must be the dead "Jiang Zhen", but Jiang Zhen did not have any related memories. Either she made a wrong judgment, or that memory was extremely painful for "Jiang Zhen", so she blocked it.
Gu Liancheng thought the same. Even if he knew her, she would not be the current Jiang Zhen. "I know Dr. Du's fiancé, and they are pretty good friends. I'll go and test the waters later."
"Don't be in a hurry." Jiang Zhen also found out the reason why Gu Liancheng's parents owed the An family their lives more than ten years ago.
"The longer the brain death lasts, the less memory you can get from the past. But I still saw that your parents covered up the underground transfer and hired An Qihui's father, An Yuehong. He was also the first assassination job Qi Junshan took. More than a decade ago, Du Qiuyi had already hired someone to kill her brother-in-law."
Gu Liancheng: ... "Are you sure? More than a decade ago, Du Qiuyi was only a teenager!"
Jiang Zhen: "Are there no evil people allowed in this age group?"
Gu Liancheng was speechless: "The familiar people around me suddenly became strangers, which was very frightening. So, Uncle An was afraid of his sister-in-law, so he took the opportunity to fake his death and hide away."
Jiang Zhen felt that it was about the same: "Protecting the transfer of the underground D is a dangerous thing in itself. Since he is cowardly and selfish, and he has discovered that his sister-in-law is hiring someone to kill him, I would run away too."
…
Du Qiuyi is a few years older than her fiancé. They met when they were studying abroad. Du Qiuyi is very satisfied to marry someone she loves. This time, her fiancé had a minor operation and had to get out of bed, which affected his wound. Du Qiuyi blamed him with distress: "Why did you have to get out of bed to look after Liancheng's wife?"
Li Chongling said, "Why would I look at her? I heard that Gu Jiaoxia was making things difficult for you, and I was worried."
Du Qiuyi smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll just be patient."
Turning her head, the smile on her face faded. Why couldn't the annoying person die? Why was he always hanging around her? Then she would just take her time. She had never failed to get what she wanted. It was just a matter of time.
…
Du Qiuyi went to Qingshui Temple and met her sister who was practicing Buddhism on her behalf. After the bombardment last night, she shaved her hair completely and started practicing Buddhism.
"Sister, I didn't expect you to be so cruel. Not only do you not want your man, you also don't care about your three daughters. If it weren't for me as their aunt, they would have been bullied to death."
Du Molian drooped her eyelids and tapped the wooden fish again and again: "Donor Du, it's not that I won't take revenge, but the time has not come yet. I advise you to stop before it's too late and turn back."
Du Qiuyi smiled faintly: "Sister, do you think that if you become a monk, your brother-in-law will be monogamous with Wan Furong?"
Du Molian sighed: "Do you think I became a monk because of the dispute between my wife and concubine? I saw through it and wanted to atone for your sins and accumulate virtue for the three sisters."
Du Qiuyi smiled and said, "I never believe this. I only believe that if God doesn't save us, we have to save ourselves."
"But you...why do you want to hurt others?"
Du Qiuyi avoided the question: "Sister, Xiuqing has suddenly become smart. She likes Doctor Qi. Qi Junshan is dead, and she wants to stay in the Qi family as a widow. She has figured out a plan, and I support her."
The sound of the wooden fish stopped for a while and then started again. Whatever Du Molian wanted to say eventually turned into the sound of the wooden fish.
…
The An and Qi families have been having a big fight these past two days. First, An Qihui forcibly took her sister home, and then Ji Fengmei suffered a stroke, leaving her mouth crooked and unable to utter a complete sentence. Dr. Qi had to handle his eldest brother's funeral and take care of his mother, so he was overwhelmed and quickly became haggard.
After An Xiuqing had a big fight with An Qihui, she returned to the Qi family and announced to others that she wanted to remain a widow for Qi Junshan. She also said that her mother-in-law had been very good to her and now was the time for her to repay her and take care of her mother-in-law.
An Xiuqing's aunt Du Qiuyi, who had a good reputation, was very supportive and persuaded Dr. Qi: "Who can you trust? Why not give half of your salary to Xiuqing every month and let her take care of you. Mom, if you want to avoid suspicion, just continue to live in the dormitory and go back to visit frequently. This is the best way at the moment."
Dr. Qi felt guilty and grateful to the An family, and said to Ji Fengmei, "Mom, you misjudged my sister-in-law. She is a really good person. From now on, she will take care of you when I am not at home."
An Xiuqing was dressed in plain clothes, with a white flower in her ear, looking very pitiful, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend up, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand: "Mom, my eldest brother is gone, but Junhai and I are still here, you have to cheer up and get well soon."
…
The recent sunny weather was very much in line with An Xiuqing's mood. Qi Junshan died much earlier than in his previous life and did not have time to meet the woman he married as a decoration. An Xiuqing became Qi Junhai's widow, so Qi Junhai would definitely marry her in this life.
Ji Fengmei's condition at home has not improved at all. She even smashed the food. Qi Junhai couldn't stand it anymore. The intervals between her coming back home were getting longer and longer. She used to come back two or three times a day, but now she only comes back once every two or three days. An Xiuqing compared the situation and felt that the current situation was better than she expected.
Gu Liancheng still didn't go home. An Xiuqing began to feel sympathy for Jiang Zhen. She wanted to talk to Jiang Zhen about life, but Jiang Zhen didn't go out all day and stayed at home with the children. She couldn't find a chance to talk to him for a long time.
She went to the hospital to find Qi Junhai, prepared food and put it in a thermos box, and said to Ji Fengmei, "Mom, I'm going to see Junhai and tell him about your situation so that he can rest assured. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she put on plain clothes and went out without paying any attention to Ji Fengmei's look that seemed to want to bite her to death.
In the hospital, she met her aunt first, who gave her three days' supply of medicine. This medicine was not very toxic, but it would prevent Ji Fengmei from recovering.
Seeing An Xiuqing's hesitation, Du Qiuyi caressed the white flowers on her head with pity: "When will you understand that being kind to others will sooner or later turn into a sharp blade and stab you. Take the medicine with you, and decide whether to use it or not."
An Xiuqing didn't see Dr. Qi in the outpatient department. The nurse said he was taking a patient to be hospitalized. When she saw Dr. Qi accompanying a woman who could not even stand up straight, running around to pay the bills, she suddenly understood what her aunt said.
The sister-in-law who was married to Qi Junshan in the previous life was originally a patient of Dr. Qi.
At the same time, she also figured it out. It turned out that it was Dr. Qi who liked this woman first, but Ji Fengmei did not agree, so she used the same method to make Qi Junshan marry her.
So that's it. That's ridiculous.
…
The first batch of chives sprouted in the space, so I quickly cut a handful of chives and fried them with eggs. Gu Pan said, "Dumplings with chives and eggs are delicious."
Gu Hui asked: "Aunt, now that my uncle is back, we can't take out the vegetables from the space to cook, right?"
"Seasonal ones are fine, but not those from other seasons."
Jiang Zhao felt that if he kept it a secret, it would be exposed one day: "Mom, I'm so worried. Dad will be angry if he knows that we don't take him to eat delicious food."
The children blinked and waited for Jiang Zhen to speak.
Jiang Zhen: "So, you have to keep it a secret and don't let him know."
There was a loud noise next door, Jiang Tang covered her ears and said, "Mom, Auntie An next door is unhappy again."
Ever since An Xiuqing, with the support of her aunt, became a widow to Qi Junshan and stayed in the Qi family to take care of Ji Fengmei who had a stroke, she has been in a good mood. Today, she went to the hospital and came back angry. Maybe something happened in the hospital.
"After dinner, let's go to a quiet space."
"Yeah."
The plan was good, but Gu Liancheng came back and knocked on the door. Jiang Zhen hurriedly called the four children and divided the leeks and eggs: "Eat quickly, I'll go open the door."
Gu Pan took a big bite and said, "The fried eggs with leeks smell so good and taste so good. My little uncle is so pitiful."
…
Gu Liancheng smelled the delicious food when he entered the room and casually asked what they wanted to eat in the evening. Unexpectedly, both the adults lied to him.
"What are we having for dinner?"
"My elder sister gave me some pickles, fried shredded potatoes, and millet porridge. Have you eaten them? I'll serve you a bowl of porridge." Jiang Zhen asked.
"Okay." Gu Liancheng hurried back without eating.
Jiang Zhen filled a large bowl of sweet potato and millet porridge for him and scooped out two spoonfuls of pickles. She used to eat it whenever there was rice, but later she knew that everyone had a quota, so she stopped doing that.
Gu Liancheng is not picky about food, but he just can't understand why the food clearly smells like leeks and eggs, but he just finished eating it. What else can he say? Why is he hiding it? There are four children in the family, so why is he eating a few eggs? Is he afraid that he will say that Jiang Zhen thinks this way?
Gu Liancheng felt lost because he was excluded from the small group for unknown reasons.
A large bowl of millet porridge was finished in a few minutes. Gu Liancheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Du Qiuyi's fiancé will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. No one will stay with him tonight. Du Qiuyi is not on duty. Let's go over and take a look."
Jiang Zhen pointed at himself: "Are you sure you want me to go?"
Gu Liancheng nodded. This was the arrangement from above. "Jiang Zhen" had studied abroad, and her ex-husband Yan Jiawen had been in Fancheng for several years. The two of them only kept in touch through a few letters every year, and she had never thought about looking for her husband. Why did she come to look for her husband when Li Chongling and Du Qiuyi returned to serve the country?
Are you looking for Yan Jiawen? Did Du Qiuyi hire the killer for his niece An Qihui?
Jiang Zhen still had to go. Gu Liancheng said, "Go ahead. It just so happens that my elder sister is helping you with your work. We just want to take a look at him. You suspect that he knows you, so it's a good opportunity to take a closer look. Is your feeling right?"
"Okay." Jiang Zhen said, "You can't go empty-handed, right? Do you want to bring something?"
