Wang Jiao's moans mingled with Zhang the butcher's lewd laughter, driving Xu Mingyi to a frenzy. He lunged at the woodshed door, yelling, "Wang Jiao, you slut, I'll kill you!"
Butcher Zhang kicked him away.
Wang Jiao spat fiercely, "Kill me? Do you have the ability? You're just a spineless coward who lives off a woman. Even I look down on you, and you still have the nerve to shout? Let me tell you, if I want, I can have him come to my house every day and be all lovey-dovey in front of you, just to make you, you piece of trash, furious!"
After saying that, she took Zhang the butcher's arm and said, "Throw him back in, lock the door, so he won't go out and go crazy."
Xu Mingyi was locked in the woodshed again.
That bowl of bland vegetable porridge was also spilled.
Xu Mingyi lay on the ground in agony, then suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.
How could his life be so tragic!
Xu Xinghe knew nothing about what happened to Xu Mingyi afterward.
Even if she knew, she would only say that karma is a cycle.
Didn't she live the same kind of life in her past life?
Now, if it were him, he wouldn't be able to stand it?
Jiang Linchuan was worried that Xu Xinghe was in a bad mood, so he kept trying to find ways to distract her.
The two selected a lot of supplements before returning to the hospital.
As the two entered the ward, they saw Lian Xiao sitting by the bed peeling an apple. His movements were nimble, and the haggardness in his eyes had faded, returning him to his usual appearance.
With Elder Lian out of danger, the anxiety that had been weighing on his mind for days was finally completely relieved.
"Grandpa Lian, I've come to see you." Xu Xinghe walked in quickly, her tone light and cheerful.
Old Lian leaned against the headboard. In just one day, his complexion had become much rosier. When he saw the two of them come in, his cloudy eyes lit up instantly. He even had the strength to raise his hand and pat the empty space next to the bed. "Come on, Xinghe, you silly child. I told you to go out shopping and have some fun, not to buy me things. Look, I can hardly fit anything here."
Xu Xinghe immediately sat down and warmly grasped Grandpa Lian's aged hand, "Grandpa Lian, I just wanted to buy it for you."
"Good, good, good boy." His gaze swept over Xu Xinghe and Jiang Linchuan, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips. "You two look very well-matched standing together."
Xu Xinghe's cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously moved closer to Jiang Linchuan.
"Xinghe," Elder Lian looked at her, his tone filled with the concern of an elder, "How are you doing at the military headquarters? Has anyone bullied you? How is Lin Chuanjiang treating you?"
“It’s great, Grandpa Lian.” Xu Xinghe nodded with a smile. “Lin Chuan takes good care of me, and Political Commissar Wang and the comrades are all very kind. It’s much more comfortable than before. And Lian Xiao has also helped me a lot. If it weren’t for him, I might not be living such a comfortable life.”
It's never wrong to praise a younger person in front of an elder.
Upon hearing this, Elder Lian nodded in satisfaction. "If Lian Xiao dares to treat you badly, I will be the first to object."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Jiang Linchuan, his expression becoming more serious. "Jiang Linchuan, Xinghe's parents are gone, so from now on I'll consider her half an elder. If you dare to bully her or make her suffer even the slightest grievance, I will absolutely not let you off! Don't think that this old body of mine is useless; I can still muster the fighting spirit I had on the battlefield back then!"
Jiang Linchuan immediately stood up straight, as if receiving an order, and gave a standard military salute. "General Lian, rest assured, I will only protect Xinghe in my life and will never bully her. I have already sworn an oath at her parents' graves that I will make sure she is safe and happy."
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Old Master Lian was finally relieved. "Good, I'm relieved to hear you say that. Xinghe is a child with a hard life, you must treat her well."
Lian Xiao, who was standing to the side, felt a little unhappy as his grandfather continued to praise the two of them as a good match. He picked up the water cup with the straw in it and said, "Grandpa, have some water to soothe your throat. The doctor said you should talk less and rest well. Don't talk for too long and get tired."
Old Lian glanced at him, then chuckled helplessly and scolded, "You rascal, you just can't stand it when I say good things about others. Alright, that's enough chatting. And you guys shouldn't keep watching me. It's getting late, go and get some rest."
"Then you should get some rest. We'll come see you again tomorrow."
The two walked out of the ward together.
As Old Lian watched them walk away hand in hand, he couldn't help but sigh, "The fact that they accompanied you this time shows that they are both good people who value relationships and loyalty. You should get along well with them in the future."
Lian Xiao said he understood, but his heart ached. "Grandpa, I want to tell you something... Never mind, you're not feeling well right now, let's wait until you're better before we talk about it."
"You brat, you've already said half of it, and then you stopped. I think you're the one making me sick! I've been through everything in my life. Even if the sky falls, I won't even blink. Hurry up and tell me, or I'll teach you a lesson when you're discharged from the hospital!"
Lian Xiao took a deep breath, put the apple on the bedside table, and lowered his head. "Grandpa, I... I've fallen for Xinghe."
