"Yes, she said she quit, but I don't think it's that simple. Don't worry, I'll go there tomorrow. I don't believe she can give up her job like this." Old Lady Zhao spat on the ground and said gritting her teeth.
"As long as your brother doesn't come out, this matter will never end!"
After listening to this, Zhao Kailin calmed down and felt that Ning Xi would never give up her job like that.
So, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, grandma, we can't just let this go."
"Alright, hurry up and cut some watermelon for me. What's the use of you all? Your own son has been locked up, and you're still pretending to be dead!
"As expected, he's an ungrateful person! It's just my bad luck that we married such a jinx, an ungrateful person!" Old Mrs. Zhao said, glaring fiercely in the direction of the bedroom and spitting.
Zhao Kailin was very disgusted with her spitting, but she didn't say anything. She picked up the half watermelon and went into the kitchen.
In the bedroom, Ning Lan sat at the end of the bed, listening to the clear cursing outside with a numb expression.
After a long time, she stood up and walked to the cabinet, opened a drawer, took out a notebook, and then turned out a yellowed photo.
Above is a photo of three people, two women and one man.
It was just that the man and one of the women were arm in arm, leaning against each other, while the other woman was standing alone next to that woman, looking particularly out of place.
Ning Lan stared at the two people leaning against each other, lost in thought. As the chatter and scolding continued outside, she suddenly tore the man and woman leaning against each other in the photo apart with a "sizzle", with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
Old Mrs. Zhao scolded Ning Lan to vent her anger, and then went back to cook for her son.
Zhao Kailin breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes at the table full of watermelon peels, then walked to the door and knocked, saying, "Mom, I'm leaving first!"
She couldn't bear to stay here any longer.
Moreover, she has not planned to give up on her wealthy brother-in-law. Even though he looks at her with disdain, she always feels that as long as she gets in touch with him a few more times, she will definitely have a chance.
Even if she couldn't take him down, she didn't want Ning Xi to have an easy time!
Thinking that Ning Xi had such a good job and married such a rich husband, the jealousy in her heart almost burned her heart.
Zhao Kailin was thinking about her own things and didn't notice that the door was open. Ning Lan looked at her with a numb expression and gloomy eyes.
"Where are you going?"
Zhao Kailin was startled and quickly came to her senses. When she met her gloomy eyes, she was startled again and a sense of fear suddenly rose in her heart.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. Where are you going?" Ning Lan withdrew her gaze from her and asked lightly.
Zhao Kailin looked at her and saw that she was still as weak as usual. The fear in her heart immediately dissipated and turned into dissatisfaction and anger.
"What does it have to do with you where I go? Since you're fine now, I'll leave first. And, you promised me last night that if I stayed with you all night, you'd give me 500 yuan. Where's the money?"
She stretched out her hand towards Ning Lan.
Ning Lan glanced at her palm, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes, but she didn't answer. She just turned around and walked back to the room, sat down and said, "Are you attracted to your brother-in-law?"
Zhao Kailin was stunned when she heard this, then her eyes dodged for a moment, and she shouted in a hoarse voice: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Don't be so quick to deny it. I gave birth to you. I know what you are thinking." Ning Lan said lightly.
Looking at her like this, Zhao Kailin always felt that the mother in front of her was a little different from before.
But she still didn't dare to admit it. After all, she remembered how her mother had protected Ning Xi in the past.
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Ning Lan looked at her.
Zhao Kailin turned her head away.
Ning Lan did not withdraw her gaze, but lowered her eyelids to hide the gloom in her eyes.
"You asked for six thousand last time, do you still want it now?"
Zhao Kailin was stunned again and looked at her suspiciously, not understanding what was going on with her.
"If you want it, I'll give it to you." Ning Lan said again.
Although Zhao Kailin didn't know what was going on with her, who wouldn't be happy to get the money? She immediately nodded and said, "I want it!"
Ning Lan took out a passbook from her pocket and handed it to her, saying, "This is all the money I can use now. Take it, but you have to find a way to save your brother."
She walked up to Zhao Kailin and stuffed a passbook into her hand.
Zhao Kailin was surprised at first, but after hearing the second half of her sentence, she knew what she meant.
A hint of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, but he still grabbed the passbook and said, "Okay, I'll try."
Anyway, it’s not her decision whether it works or not.
Ning Lan looked at her perfunctory expression and lowered her eyelids again, "Take this money and don't spend it carelessly. Buy yourself some nice clothes. Then go find your brother-in-law."
Your sister is unwilling to help, but your sister's wife is quite nice. You should stay away from your sister and go find her and let her think of a solution."
Zhao Kailin was really shocked this time and looked at her in surprise. She never expected that this old-fashioned mother would say such a thing and actually let her take the initiative to find Qin Yan!
But when I think about how she was doing this solely for Zhao Kaifeng, it doesn't seem strange anymore.
But in this way, she had enough excuses to approach Qin Yan, and she could get money!
So, even if she felt dissatisfied in her heart, she did not show it.
Nodding, he said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go find my brother-in-law and think of a solution."
"Yeah." Ning Lan didn't stop her from staying.
Zhao Kailin took the passbook and left her home happily.
…
Ning Xi returned home, took the donkey's key and went out again.
Then he ran around outside for half a day before buying all the herbs needed for the prescription, and also bought a casserole with a big belly, which was as big as a child could hold in his arms.
Aunt Fang was surprised to see her bringing back such a large clay pot, which was used to boil medicine.
"Madam, this pot is too big, right? How many bowls do you want to boil?" I have seen Chinese medicine boiled, but I have never seen it boiled in a large Haikou casserole.
If you boil so many medicines, won’t you die from drinking them?
"I want pills, so I need such a big pot." Ning Xi explained.
She had already decided to make Chinese medicine honey pills for Ning Lan, so she boiled all the medicine at once and then rolled the pills herself.
She originally wanted to buy a bigger one, but this was already the largest casserole on the market, so she could only buy one like this.
Aunt Fang was shocked again by her words.
Although she knew Ning Xi was a doctor, she didn't expect her to be so capable and could even make her own pills!
So I followed her curiously, intending to see how she did it.
However, just as she was about to boil the medicine, she received an unexpected call.
