Inside the juvenile detention center, Sister Hong looked at Lu Ming across the table with tears in her eyes, asking him why he did such a foolish thing.
Lu Ming shook his head, his expression unwilling:
"Mom, don't ask anymore. I should promise them I won't say anything. In just six months, I can leave, and they'll even arrange a job for me."
"Who are you referring to as 'them'? By the way, where's Jiang Rou? I saw her come out with you, but I haven't seen her for the past few days."
Sister Hong really found this matter a bit unbelievable.
Logically speaking, someone who stole such a large sum of money should be detained in a juvenile detention center for at least two years.
Could it be that the person he mentioned protected him?
Lu Ming didn't dare to say more, only saying:
"Mom, don't ask anymore. My sister will naturally go back when the time comes. You'll know if you ask her."
Jiang Ning and Lin Chen have also been keeping track of Jiang Rou's news.
I went to all the hospitals, but I couldn't find any information about her hospitalization, nor did I see her.
Time flies and the end of the year is here.
Every household has begun preparing for the Chinese New Year.
Lin Qiao took leave and, together with Luo Guangming, bought a bunch of gifts and went back to their hometown early for the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Ning and her colleagues also started shopping for New Year's goods, wrapping up their work and preparing for the New Year.
She owns her own company, so her holiday schedule isn't as strict. She had a meal with everyone on the 25th of the lunar year and then took the holiday early.
Just before she was about to leave work, Xu Yan rushed over in a hurry.
"We received a call from overseas wanting to place an additional order for Tang suits and cheongsams. They're selling so well there that half the payment has already been transferred. But the factory is out of stock right now, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, no one's at the factory to rush production. What are we going to do?"
Jiang Ning was tidying up the table, putting away all the documents and placing them in the safe.
Seeing that Xu Yan was so anxious that she had mouth ulcers, he smiled and picked up a pen and paper to write down an address.
"Here are the keys. Go to the warehouse at this address; there's stock there. Work overtime these next couple of days to arrange shipment as soon as possible. Discuss the payment with the finance department and deposit it into the company account first."
She got up, put a key in Xu Yan's hand, and then went to the coat rack by the door to get her coat and bag.
Xu Yan was stunned. How could President Jiang not be worried about the orders at all?
Could there really be stock in the warehouse?
When she arrived at the address, she opened the warehouse and indeed found a stock of 50,000 items.
Oh my god, it turns out Jiang Ning had been keeping a backup plan all along.
She quickly contacted the dock and arranged for the shipment. This batch of goods alone could bring the company another 500,000 yuan in profit.
After leaving the company, Jiang Ning went on vacation.
Every day I spend time with my two mothers and two children, either cooking delicious food or playing in the yard.
Ji Yang was stunned. When his sister was in the hospital, the doctor said that she was often silent and not interested in anything.
Unexpectedly, I now have a faint smile on my face every day. Although I can't say anything meaningful, I can still get along with them.
She's learned how to hide while playing hide-and-seek, and she's even more skilled at handicrafts. With a pair of scissors, she can easily cut out small animals from red paper, and they're incredibly lifelike.
She cut out all the paper-cut window decorations for the Lunar New Year at home.
The neighbors saw it and praised her for her good haircut, and even asked her for some!
She tirelessly cut the barley and gave the excess to her neighbors.
Jiaojiao and Tongtong loved to pester her to make dough figurines.
She sculpted human figures, and their features were immediately recognizable; the twins each had their own unique clay figurine.
That day, an unusual guest came to our house.
She came into the courtyard and was stunned to see that Ji Min was in such good spirits.
“I was worried that she wouldn’t adapt to her new life and wanted to take her back home for the New Year, but I didn’t expect her to get along so well with you all.”
The speaker was Tian Yu, the doctor who had been taking care of her at the mental hospital.
Tian Yu was wearing a simple cotton-padded jacket and had short, ear-length hair. She looked to be around fifty years old.
She introduced herself, saying that she had been taking care of Ji Min since Ji Min was admitted to the hospital, and the two had gotten along quite well.
Tian Yu treated her almost like a sister.
Jiang Ning was deeply moved after hearing their story, and took Tian Yu's hand, saying:
"Dr. Tian, thank you for taking care of my mother all this time."
Tian Yu looked at Jiang Ning with great surprise: "I heard Ji Yang say that Xiao Min became like this after losing her child, didn't she?"
Jiang Ning forced a smile: "It's a long story, and we only recently recognized each other. She's still not quite right in the head, but she gets along quite well with us."
"That's good. I believe that if you spend more time with her, she will gradually get better."
Tian Yu is optimistic about Ji Min's situation.
She also took out a notebook from her bag and gave it to her. It contained Ji Min's daily habits and information about her drug allergies.
The medications she is currently taking are clearly listed on the prescription.
Jiang Ning was so touched that she asked Lin Chen to get her a thousand yuan as a thank you.
Tian Yu was so frightened that she ran outside, "Oh dear, I came here to see Xiaomin, just to check on my sister, how could I accept your money!"
She only earns a little over eighty yuan a month now, while others can earn a year's salary in one go.
Ji Min is definitely better off back in a family like this than in the hospital.
Jiang Ning quickly put the money away and then urged her to stay for dinner.
Tian Yu also refused, simply waving to Ji Min before leaving.
Before leaving, he said that if the condition worsened, he should go to her for a consultation.
Jiang Ning watched her walk away until she was quite a distance before turning back to her courtyard.
During dinner, she discussed with Lin Chen that since Tian Yu was taking such good care of her mother but didn't want anything, they should donate some supplies to the hospital.
Lin Chen agreed, "Then, you prepare a truckload of supplies to be delivered in the next two days, and we'll deliver them together on the 28th. When we deliver them, I'll bring two workers with me to inspect all the hospital facilities. If anything needs repair, we'll fix it all before the New Year."
Jiang Ning smiled gratefully: "Okay, it's settled then."
When Ji Yang heard about her idea, he agreed with it and even took out 500 yuan for her so that she could buy more gifts.
Jiang Ning pushed him away: "Uncle, how can I use your money? You've spent a lot of money on Mom's illness, and you've been scolded by Tingting's mother a lot before. I'll take care of the money."
Two days later, Jiang Ning took out a batch of cotton-padded coats and health supplements from her spatial storage, totaling more than two hundred items, loaded them all onto a truck, and delivered them to the hospital.
Lin Chen also followed with two workers.
Tian Yu knew the donation was for the hospital and happily accepted it.
It's clear that everyone at this hospital, from the director to the caregivers, treats patients quite well.
Just as Jiang Ning was strolling through the garden with Tian Yu, she saw Feng Shuyao wearing a hospital gown, squatting next to a sapling, chatting with her.
"Is there any hope for that woman to be cured?" Jiang Ning asked, pointing at her.
