Chapter 162 Introducing an Old Man to You?
The next day at noon, after Li Mengxin finished lunch at the shop, she took the case of drinks, closed the shop door, and pushed her bicycle towards the town hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she asked the receptionist at the inpatient department and found out their ward before heading over.
When Li Mengxin arrived, there weren't many people in the ward. She knocked on the door, and Jiang Yuren's wife looked over. Seeing that it was her carrying a case of drinks, she smirked and got up.
"Oh, it's my cousin! Come in!"
Li Mengxin nodded, went inside, put the case of drinks on the table, pulled up a stool, and looked at Jiang Yuren: "Last night when I got home, the old village chief came to my house and said that he saw a car accident when he came back from the street at noon. It seemed that my aunt was involved. I thought it was inconvenient to come out so late at night, so I didn't come. I had to open the shop this morning, and I came here after closing at noon. I didn't expect it to really be you guys. How could you drive so carelessly? There were elderly people and young children in the car. You're all so old and still so reckless. I'm not trying to criticize your cousin, but you're not a child anymore. You're so impulsive! Sigh!"
She specifically mentioned the evening.
Jiang Yuren thought she had come to apologize, and he had originally planned to put on airs, but Li Mengxin started criticizing him the moment she walked in! Who could stand that?!
The old lady was also unhappy to see Li Mengxin, but at the moment she was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable. After hearing what Li Mengxin said, she also felt that her son was too impatient. If he had been just a little faster, the three of them would still be somewhere by now!
"You should hire a driver later."
Jiang Yuren got excited and tried to get up, but then he felt pain all over his body and had to lie down to catch his breath.
Madam Jiang rushed over: "Don't move! You've broken a rib! You still want to move!"
After catching his breath, Jiang Yuren said irritably, "I was only recently promoted to deputy director, and this is just a small county! Other directors only dare to have drivers after they've been promoted for a long time because they have to go to meetings everywhere! Mom, do you want me to make a mistake and get fired?"
The old lady's mouth moved, but in the end she remained silent.
She looked at Li Mengxin and said irritably, "You're supposed to be a teacher, how can you be so bad at raising children? That Gu Yin dares to yell at me, an elder, without any manners! And the Gu family you married into is the same, they have no upbringing at all, that little brat even dared to insult me! What kind of future can people and families like that have! I advise you to get a divorce as soon as possible, and I'll have your cousin introduce you to someone new at their workplace! I guarantee you'll enjoy a life of luxury from now on!"
Jiang Yuren rolled his eyes and looked at Li Mengxin, wanting to tell her not to have any illusions, since her colleagues at work would look down on divorced women from rural areas.
Looking at her now, he noticed that his cousin was much fairer than when he had seen her before. She sat there quietly with a smile on her face, and at first glance, he thought she was a lady of high society! She was gentle, elegant, dignified, and virtuous, but her clothes were not classy and dragged him down.
No wonder he was a teacher; he has a great presence! His colleagues would probably find him appealing.
So he nodded: "Take better care of yourself later."
Li Mengxin wasn't angry; they were just insignificant strangers.
She ignored Jiang Yuren and instead looked at Old Madam Jiang with a smile, saying, "You're absolutely right, I completely agree! Since Auntie is so good at raising children, why does my cousin still yell at you like that! Complaining about this and that! If he could move, I think he would have definitely gotten up and hit you just now! If this were one of our Gu family's children, I would have given him a good beating! No respect for elders! Sigh, tell me what kind of family you married into! The children don't even respect you, what's the point of staying? You might as well get a divorce, and I'll find you an honest old man in our village! I guarantee he'll be obedient to you! You can live a life of luxury for the rest of your life!"
The old lady was already in pain from hitting her head, and Li Mengxin's words made her feel dizzy! She's so old! And Li Mengxin is telling her to divorce her husband and find another old man! Is she trying to kill her?!
Fearing that the old lady might get sick from the anger, Madam Jiang, who had been watching the commotion, concealed her smile and immediately stepped forward to pat the old lady's back while glancing at Li Mengxin.
"The old lady is only doing this for your own good. You're her only relative on her side of the family, and she'll definitely worry if you're not doing well. Look at what you're wearing; you probably don't have much money in your pocket. Don't you know that when we city people visit someone's home or go to the hospital to visit someone in the hospital, we usually bring fruit, supplements, or a red envelope? We would never bring a case of drinks like you. How shabby! People would just throw it away as trash!"
Li Mengxin looked at her in surprise, then at Jiang Yuren and the old lady who were still in shock, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, there are such rules? I'm just a country bumpkin, I don't understand! You city folks do! But you must know that this case of drinks is what your mother-in-law and husband brought as guests yesterday! They only brought this thing! I don't even recognize it. We've never drunk this stuff before. We order our milk and goat milk by subscription. I thought this stuff was expensive and that you city folks liked to drink, so I brought it. I didn't expect it to be such shabby junk! Hahaha! But it suits you perfectly, it's definitely top-notch!"
After saying that, seeing that the people in the room were so angry they were about to pass out, Li Mengxin stood up and said, "I've seen you all, and since you're all alright, I'll leave now. Oh, by the way, we country folk live a rough life, you city people shouldn't come down here all the time." With that, she got up and left the ward.
Madam Jiang had no idea that the drink was brought by her own family. After Li Mengxin said that, she was so embarrassed that her face turned hot.
"You guys are really something! It's not like before, you can't even afford a small carton of milk and a pound of meat anymore? Doing things that give people something to criticize you for is so shameful!"
Jiang Yuren was also angry: "This is not something I'm in charge of, Mom bought it herself!"
Jiang Qingzhu, in another hospital bed, pursed her lips and whispered, "This was a gift from someone when Grandma was shopping, during a promotion."
The old lady wanted to speak, but seeing her son's dark face, she didn't dare to say anything.
The room fell silent.
The Gu family doesn't know about this yet, but even if they did, it wouldn't matter. Without expectations, they wouldn't feel sad.
A few days later, Gu Yin received a call from the director saying that the interview had been canceled. Luckily, Gu Yin had no intention of accepting the interview, otherwise she would have been disappointed for a long time! Gu Yin smiled silently. Jiang Yuren was just like that.
When Gu Shu came out, he saw Gu Yin laughing there. He asked in confusion, "What's so funny?"
"No, I was just thinking about harvesting the rice. It'll be harvested in a few days, and you'll definitely be back to your old self by then!"
Gu Shu raised his eyebrows: "I'll wear long sleeves and a hat, and the rest is up to fate!" Anyway, he's a guy, so as long as he's not too dark-skinned, it'll be fine.
"By the way, I know a senior from our school who wants to come visit us. He mainly wants to experience rural life. What do you think? It'll be time to harvest the rice then, so he can experience how hard it is to produce food! Let's invite Yan Ge along too! He's wanted to come to our house for a long time, and Dad has been asking him to come, but he's been too busy. Now that he's on holiday, I thought I'd invite him too!"
When Gu Yin first heard "Brother Yan," she was surprised that her father knew him too. Were they relatives?
She asked in confusion, "Who is Brother Yan?"
Gu Shu paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It's Professor Yao's grandson! The one who goes to Jiang High School! He came back to Z City with my uncle before, and he even came when we went shopping for New Year's goods last year. It's a pity you weren't there then, but it's okay! I'll ask him to come over, and when you start school, I'll have him tutor you! He's very close to my dad and uncle! We've always kept in touch! He's also a really nice person; he's always given me internal exam papers from Jiang High School and even explained the questions to me!"
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow. So it was him.
"Then just call them over. You can have them stay upstairs later. This place is quite fun, with mountains and water, enough for them to experience."
Gu Shu nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to them about it later and then make some arrangements!"
