Chapter 30
Cheng Xiangqian stepped forward, grabbed Tao Zhi's hand, and said twice in succession: "Fortunately, fortunately."
For now, he has the best relationship with his youngest daughter, and Tao Zhi can fully understand him.
Tao Zhi took the report and read it carefully. The diagnosis was exactly as the doctor had said: linear skull fracture, no intracranial hemorrhage, normal brain structure, and scalp hematoma and lacerations.
"Fortunately there was no bleeding." Cheng Xing said fearfully.
"The skull is cracked. Is he trying to kill someone?" Cheng Xiangqian said angrily.
"Dad, it hurts." Cheng Man said weakly.
When the old man heard this, he felt extremely distressed and immediately whispered softly: "Dad won't bother you anymore. You should have a good rest first. When you are well, you can do whatever you want."
Cheng Man said listlessly: "Dad, let's talk later."
This is not like Cheng Man's character. Cheng Xiangqian was anxious, but did not dare to show it, so he had to wink at Tao Zhi desperately.
Tao Zhi ignored him and quietly carried Cheng Man back to bed.
She tucked her daughter in and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. The only thing you need to do now is to take good care of yourself."
"Okay." After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep in the blink of an eye.
They went out and closed the door so that the noise would not disturb her sleep.
Cheng Xiangqian was a little panicked: "Did Manman... faint?"
Tao Zhi rolled her eyes at him. "She's called sleepiness. The doctor said it's normal. Because her head was injured, her body forced her to shut down and use rest to repair herself."
"She can't even speak clearly." Before she finished speaking, Cheng Xing's tears fell.
Tao Zhi wiped her tears and said, "Don't be afraid. Your sister is still young. She will get better sooner or later."
Cheng Xing threw himself into her arms and said, "Mom, leave the housework to us. Please spend more time with your sister. I think she must be very scared."
After hearing this, Tao Zhi felt heartbroken. She pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. The family depends on you now."
Cheng Xiangqian asked, "What about me?"
"Since you don't want to work, why don't you help take care of the grandchildren?"
Cheng Xiangqian asked quietly, "Did Li Yunzhou pass on any message to you?"
Tao Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Ever since Cheng Man was injured, she had been living like a walking corpse for the past two days. If the old man hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.
She counted and found that three days had passed without a response. She whispered to the old man, "I'm afraid I can't count on you anymore."
"Should I ask Amei?"
"If it's really because they don't want to help, then we can't let her know."
"Shouldn't her brother-in-law say something?"
"Let her be a rich wife in peace. To put it bluntly, we are just distant relatives. Whether to help her or not is her business."
"Will your brother-in-law tell you?"
Tao Zhi really wanted to knock him on the head: "He's our brother, do you think he wouldn't know?"
Cheng Xiangqian said awkwardly: "What if they were just busy and forgot..."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Is that so? People tend to forget things easily. He probably just didn't remember it for a moment." The old man straightened his back again.
Tao Zhi agreed with him: "You're right. Manman lives on her own now, thanks to her brother-in-law's help."
"My brother-in-law is very kind to us."
"But you can't rush us, and it's not easy to ask at our door, so we have to make preparations for both situations," Tao Zhi reminded him.
"Of course, I'll listen to you."
Tao Zhi urged them to leave: "That's enough. We've seen the people and done the work. You can't help by staying here. Go home quickly."
"Mom, I'm trying to make it up to you." Cheng Xing was acting coquettishly.
"Xingxing, Mommy wants to sleep too." Tao Zhi had to conserve her energy.
The old man pulled Cheng Xing and said, "Yes, let your mother rest more."
Before leaving, Cheng Xiangqian said to Tao Zhi, "I'll deliver meals starting tonight. Don't eat in the cafeteria anymore. It's not only unnutritious but also unpalatable."
He just wanted to visit Cheng Man more often, but Tao Zhi was too lazy to expose him and just gestured to indicate that she had no objection.
Cheng Jun brought his father here in the evening.
Tao Zhi asked, "Are you going to send your dad back later?"
Cheng Jun nodded.
"You don't mind the hassle." Tao Zhi said with disgust.
"It's just a matter of stepping on the accelerator."
Cheng Xiangqian was angry: "What do you mean, old woman? I'm going to take the driver's license test tomorrow."
The old man reminded Tao Zhi: "Yes, yes, yes, while you have time now, hurry up and get your driver's license."
"What about you? Don't I have to wait for you?"
"As you can see, I'm not free lately. You go take the exam first, and then you can pick me up."
Cheng Xiangqian took the big chance and he was already calculating how to get his driver's license as quickly as possible.
After dinner, Cheng Jun sent his father away and then returned.
Tao Zhi was amazed: "Not long ago, you were so busy that you were nowhere to be found. How come you are suddenly free now?"
"Because my sister is more important."
"Don't be so smooth-talking. Tell me the truth. What have you been doing lately?"
"Hey, Mom, how did you figure that out?"
"I haven't seen you carrying a camera around, snapping away anymore."
Cheng Jun bowed to Tao Zhi to show his admiration.
"I partnered with a friend and opened a new brick factory."
Tao Zhi's eyes lit up. This kid is good. He is several years ahead of his previous life.
"You don't only have red wine, do you?"
"Mom, you underestimate me too much."
"I'm not looking down on you, but my family is broke."
"Hehe, the mountain man has his own clever plan."
"You've got a loan, right?" It's nothing new.
"Oh my god." Cheng Jun was really shocked this time.
"Use the photo studio as collateral?" Tao Zhi continued.
Cheng Jun couldn't resist, he admitted defeat and humbly asked, "Mom, how did you guess that?"
Tao Zhi muttered in his heart: This is the same trick you used in your previous life, but the target has changed now.
Of course she couldn't say that, so she smiled and said, "Because I'm your mother."
Cheng Jun was discouraged. Ms. Tao was obviously just trying to get him to give up.
Tao Zhi changed the subject: "What percentage do you contribute?"
"The partners are only responsible for providing the money, and I have to take care of everything else, so I take 51%."
"Does your partner trust you so much?"
Cheng Jun raised the corner of his mouth: "I don't have to worry at all. Let's put it this way, my background is even stronger than my aunt's family."
"If he's so powerful, there should be many choices. Why did he choose you?"
"Mom, you don't understand. A brain, especially one that can be used, is a priceless treasure. No amount of money is too much to invest in it."
"Don't consider character?"
"Need I say more about my character? It's absolutely top-notch."
Tao Zhi stopped chatting with him. The longer she stayed in the hallway, the more she was just feeding mosquitoes. Many people were asleep, so she washed up and prepared for bed. Cheng Jun was still in the hallway, writing something. Tao Zhi was sleepy, so she didn't pay any attention to him.
Cheng Man spent the second night safely.
Tao Zhi asked her, "How do you feel?"
Cheng Man's reaction was still a little slow, and her words came out slowly: "I feel dizzy and don't want to move. I feel uncomfortable if I move too much. Don't worry, Mom. I will turn over by myself after lying down for a long time. As long as the movement is not too small, I can handle it."
"If you feel uncomfortable, you must call me."
"I will." She gave a faint smile.
