Chapter 69 Lying

After Jiang Nianzi fell ill, she could hardly get out of bed for two days. She stayed in bed the whole time and became lazy.

Grandpa Zhang came to see her twice and brought her a lot of tonic medicine.

Old Lady Liang knew how expensive those herbs were. She moved her lips a few times and said, "We can't afford to pay you for all these expensive things."

Grandpa Zhang snorted: "I sent tonic medicine to my granddaughter, who wants you to pay it back?"

This made Mrs. Liang unhappy.

"Why are you taking advantage of her? She's my granddaughter, how can she be your granddaughter?"

Grandpa Zhang snorted, "If I say yes, it is yes, isn't it, Zizi?"

Jiang Nianzi leaned against the head of the bed, holding a small bowl and drinking tonic. She pursed her lips and laughed as she listened to the two people arguing.

Her grandmother just couldn't get over that hurdle, and actually she had feelings for Grandpa Zhang.

In this era, there are always some unpleasant voices.

When a man dies and his wife finds someone else, no one thinks it's a big deal.

But if a woman remarries after her husband dies, she is considered unfaithful to her husband.

Jiang Nianzi sometimes feels that she should give a proper push.

If grandma didn't have that intention, she would have let it go. But now that she knew grandma had that intention, how could she just sit there and do nothing?

Her grandfather has been dead for more than 20 years.

Grandpa Zhang also took care of her for more than twenty years.

To be precise, more than 40 years.

Only after she got close to Grandpa Zhang did she realize that Grandpa Zhang had always liked her grandmother since he was young.

Originally, he was the one who had feelings for grandma, and they were a couple.

Later, due to some accidents, Grandpa Zhang was forced to live a wandering life. He disappeared for nearly eight years and there was no news of his life or death.

Grandma waited for him for five years.

In the sixth year, she was already twenty-six years old.

Her parents forced her to sell her to a man who was more than 20 years older than her.

My grandmother was very stubborn and threatened to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

In the end, he was rescued by Jiang Nianzi's grandfather.

And because my grandfather had some skills at that time and lived a good life, and the dowry he gave also satisfied my grandmother's family, they agreed not to sell my grandmother to the old man who was 20 years older than her.

So Jiang Nianzi's grandmother married her grandfather.

The two treated each other with respect after marriage, but Mrs. Liang always loved Mr. Zhang in her heart.

Jiang Nianzi found out the following from Ding Hongmei.

Ding Hongmei said: "Your grandmother is stubborn. When your father was still alive, he advised her to be with Uncle Zhang, but she insisted that she didn't want to bring shame to her child and be laughed at behind her back. Sigh..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Nianzi finished drinking the tonic and said seriously, "Yes, Grandpa Zhang is very kind to me, just like my own grandfather."

"You little bastard." Old Mrs. Liang wanted to slap her on the head, but when she saw her pale face, she couldn't bear to do it.

So he simply changed the topic and slapped Grandpa Zhang on the back: "You are the only one who can talk nonsense."

Grandpa Zhang glanced at her and said, "Why am I talking nonsense? Zizi is an obedient girl, so what if I treat her as my own granddaughter? Anyway, I am alone, so no one will mind."

These words touched a chord in Mrs. Liang's heart. She moved her lips, but before she could say anything, her eyes turned red. She then made up an excuse and left Jiang Nianzi's room.

Jiang Nianzi approached Grandpa Zhang and asked, "Grandpa Zhang, did we make grandma angry?"

Grandpa Zhang smiled, but his eyes were filled with sorrow: "It is Grandpa Zhang who is sorry for your grandma. She waited for so many years in vain. In fact, I am very grateful to your grandpa. If it weren't for her, I don't know if I could see such a lively junior sister."

"How can I blame you for this?" Jiang Nianzi felt a little distressed when she saw Grandpa Zhang's dim eyes. He was just a sad lover created by the times.

In Grandpa Zhang's era, there were many things that were beyond one's control.

Communications are even less developed.

"Grandpa Zhang, please go and comfort my grandma. She has already been reassured."

She could see that Grandpa Zhang didn't want to force her grandmother.

But her grandmother was the kind of person who was just about to give in. She cared about too many things and never thought about herself.

If she hadn't known Grandpa Zhang, she would have believed what the old lady said, saying that he was just a senior brother she wasn't very familiar with.

We are senior and junior brothers and sisters, how can we not be familiar with each other?

"Then grandpa is gone..." Grandpa Zhang touched Jiang Nianzi lovingly. Among the children, Jiang Nianzi looked the most like his junior sister when she was young.

"Grandpa, come on." Jiang Nianzi gestured to him.

Before leaving, Grandpa Zhang thought of something and said to Jiang Nianzi, "By the way, if you feel better tomorrow, go to the clinic. Shen Cheng came to see you several times during the days you were sick."

Shen Cheng?

Jiang Nianzi frowned. Wasn't his treatment already over?

What else?

Thinking this in her mind, Jiang Nianzi felt better the next day and was not so weak, so she went to the hospital.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Cheng went to deal with the business license issue. Now individual businesses are encouraged to operate, so it is not that difficult to obtain a business license.

She was not in the store yesterday and Grandpa Zhang went to her house, so the clinic was closed yesterday and not many patients came today.

I thought the door was not open.

The store was deserted and Jiang Nianzi was not used to it yet, so she took a small blanket and wrapped herself in the recliner.

Shen Cheng came to the store and saw the empty store. He felt a little regretful. He was leaving soon. Couldn't he see her for the last time?

Just as I was about to turn around, I heard a soft voice coming from behind.

"Mr. Shen?"

Shen Cheng turned his head suddenly, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes: "Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Nianzi had just gotten up from the recliner, her hair was disheveled from sleeping, hanging down in disarray, making her look lazy and casual.

"Grandpa Zhang said you came to see me several times. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Cheng looked at her face and was relieved to see that she looked better than before.

But I couldn't help asking, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's a disease I was born with. I'm used to it. It's okay." Jiang Nianzi smiled and asked him, "You haven't answered my question yet? What do you want to talk to me about?"

What else could Shen Cheng want to see her for? Of course he wanted to see her.

But he needed a reason.

A reason that would stop her from doubting.

"I dropped my medicine."

"Did it fall?" Jiang Nianzi frowned: "Where did it fall?"

Shen Cheng looked at her beautiful almond-shaped eyes which seemed to be filled with mist and her thin lips which were tightly pursed.

After the unexpected intimacy that day, he always dreamed that she was looking at him with eyes that were neither angry nor angry, which made him restless even in his dreams, and he always wanted to touch her and get close to her.

He had told only a few lies in his life, but he had told them all about her.

Just to have one more reason to be closer to her.

Thinking of this, Shen Cheng felt that he was a little despicable.

He frowned and looked disdainful of himself, but his expression did not soften at all.

"It fell into the stinking gutter."

Jiang Nianzi sighed: "Then have you not taken any medicine these two days?"

Shen Cheng could only nod.

Jiang Nianzi glanced at him, and in her bright eyes, there was helplessness towards the unreliable patient.

"I'll grab you another one. Wait."
