Or, regardless of whether he's capable or not, if this man doesn't have you in his heart, then he simply doesn't. In that case, don't make a futile struggle.
This is the wise choice of a matriarch.
Qiao Jingjing was too lazy to give those wise words to the domineering and annoying Xu Jiao.
Since Sun Ce's death, Qiao Jingjing has lived a quiet and uneventful life at night for many years.
Actually, she didn't feel sad.
She is someone who can endure loneliness.
She has things she likes, even though she can't have Wi-Fi, air conditioning, or watermelon.
But she can do what she loves: farming, writing a record of plants, farming, rice, and various fish species like silver carp, grass carp, and bighead carp, as well as a record of the Taihu Lake area.
That can kill a lot of time.
She would also play chess, games, and cook delicious meals with the maids and servants in her courtyard.
Life is ordinary yet fulfilling.
Qiao Jingjing wouldn't waste her energy on meaningless things.
Of course, there are always some foolish people who just want to make things difficult for her and treat her like a nail.
The day after Sun Quan returned.
Qiao Jingjing cooked a meal of river delicacies at home.
When she first returned to Jingkou, she saw how much weight her three children had lost, but she didn't have time to take care of them much because her sister-in-law had run away, her mother-in-law was sick, and many things at home were piling up.
When Sun Quan returned, there were people in charge of everything, big and small, and people to take the blame.
Qiao Jingjing also took a break and finally found the time to treat the children to a good meal to make them happy.
Ah Shao was overjoyed. He ate his fill of fried river bream, steamed sea bass, boiled yellow catfish, crab roe, and shrimp roe.
By midnight, Ah Shao was burning up with fever.
Qiao Jingjing even specially asked Lü Meng to invite a doctor.
Because Sun Quan returned to Beigu Mountain, he vowed to rectify his family's conduct from then on.
Sun Quan had people keep an eye on everything, big and small, on Beigu Mountain.
They're keeping a closer eye on things than before.
The news that Fu Bihai had gone to fetch a doctor in the middle of the night reached Sun Quan's ears.
Sun Quan was staying overnight in Yuan Shiyi's room.
Upon hearing that Fu Bihai had summoned a physician, Sun Quan quickly got out of bed.
Yuan Shiyi helped Sun Quan put on his clothes and asked, "Are the children sick? I'll go with you to take a look."
Yuan Shiyi was going to Fubihai, and Sun Quan said to her, "The wind is strong tonight, and you're not well yet, how can you go? I'll go instead! My sister-in-law is the only one supporting the family, and alas, the children are still young..."
It seems that the children are most likely sick.
Sun Quan's implication was that it was not easy for his sister-in-law to raise three children on her own.
"No matter how capable my sister-in-law is, she is still a woman and will be at a loss!" Sun Quan, being at home, would certainly feel obligated to take care of her.
Sun Quan rushed to Fubihai.
Ah Shao was burning up with fever.
The doctor rushed over and had already started acupuncture on Ashao.
Qiao Jingjing nervously clenched her hands beside A Shao.
"Oh dear, it's my fault! How could I not have thought that the child's indigestion could cause such a high fever? I was only thinking about making him happy and letting him eat more, since he's bigger than Big Bear and Little Bear! Oh dear, I didn't expect the child to be unable to handle it!"
My son, you've really suffered this time! My son, your mother is here. If you're in pain, just cry out. Don't be afraid!
Qiao Jingjing was anxious, but she also comforted the child.
Sun Quan felt sorry for A Shao when he saw that A Shao's small body was burning hot and covered in silver needles.
A Shao was the only son left behind by his elder brother Sun Ce.
If anything were to happen to him, how could Sun Quan live with himself?
Many people once misunderstood Sun Quan's feelings for his elder brother Sun Ce.
It is believed that Sun Quan was very sensitive about what others said about him, and that he inherited his power and status from his elder brother Sun Ce.
That's not how it works.
In ancient times, there were two methods of inheritance: father to son and brother to brother.
Sun Quan acted in a legitimate manner.
When his elder brother Sun Ce passed away unexpectedly, he clearly passed on his position to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan had no choice but to take good care of his elder brother's children and his deceased elder brother's widow.
These principles are beyond doubt.
Any moral person would have to do that.
That night, A Shao had a high fever that wouldn't go down, and Qiao Jingjing stayed by his side the whole time, while Sun Quan also stayed by his side.
They all stayed with Ashao.
Qiao Jingjing kept blaming herself.
Sun Quan also comforted Qiao Jingjing, telling her to go and rest:
"Children, they eat grains and vegetables, so they're bound to get sick. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll stay here and watch over Ashao. Go back to your room and rest for a while!"
How could Qiao Jingjing possibly abandon her child?
Although Ashao was not born from her womb.
Ah Shao has been raised by Qiao Jingjing since he was three years old, and continues to be by her side until now.
Not to mention that Qiao Jingjing witnessed Ah Shao's high fever and flushed face, she also felt very sad when she heard about the grievances Ah Shao suffered from Xu Jiao's punishment a month ago.
Qiao Jingjing looked at the pitiful child.
I guess he was wronged by Xu Jiao before, which damaged his stomach and intestines, so he couldn't tolerate the nourishment and had this fever caused by indigestion.
Qiao Jingjing stayed with A Shao, patiently waiting for the doctor to administer acupuncture.
By daybreak, Ashao's symptoms had eased considerably.
Sun Quan stayed with him the whole time.
The physician later explained to Sun Quan and Qiao Jingjing:
"Young Master Shao's illness came on suddenly but thankfully it's not serious. Once the blockage is cleared, it's fine. A couple more doses of medicine should do the trick! But Young Master Shao is so young, I wonder why he has such emotional distress in his heart?"
After asking the questions, the doctor went next door to write the prescription.
Lü Meng followed the prescription and accompanied him to get the medicine.
Sun Quan listened to the doctor's words and pondered for a while.
Sun Quan was puzzled.
He asked Qiao Jingjing, "Sister-in-law, the A-Shao I see is cheerful and lively. Ever since you started taking care of him, he has been sunny and cheerful. How could he have emotional distress? Doctor, could you have made a mistake?"
