Geng Baishan was stunned. He didn't expect this girl to be so generous. He also didn't expect this girl to be so bold as to ask for the use of their firewood kiln. It was really not easy to marry into the Xiao family!
But looking at her expression, it seemed as if she had no idea how serious a matter it was to borrow the wood-fired kiln, nor did she understand how valuable Chen Guanfu's research materials were.
"Is this Xiao Xingyu's or Xiao Guotao's idea?" Geng Baishan couldn't help but ask.
"That's what I meant. You asked me just now. No one knew I was returning the glaze to you."
Geng Jun also helped out: "Ms. Zhang, the wood kiln can be fired once a year. We have already made a plan for this year, so it is impossible to rent it out. Next year or the year after..."
Geng Jun left the words to Geng Baishan. Geng Baishan rolled his eyes at Geng Jun and said, "Girl, you just married into the Xiao family, so you don't know. There have been cases of cooperation in history, but they ended in unpleasantness and turned into enemies. Look, we are coexisting peacefully with the Xiao family now. We are both colleagues and comrades-in-arms, and we are working together to bring glory to Chinese porcelain on the international stage. How wonderful! If we become enemies because of a failed cooperation, it would damage the harmony and the loss would be worth it. What do you think?"
Zhang Moyan glanced at Geng Baishan and said, "Mr. Geng, you're being too sincere and eloquent. Our ancestors at least bravely tried to cooperate, right?"
Geng Baishan: "Uh, yes."
Zhang Moyan asked: "Are we worse than the ancients?"
Geng Baishan was speechless. Although he was an eloquent man, he had never found it so difficult to argue. It turned out that the truth was simple.
Zhang Moyan didn't want to make the situation too awkward. Anyway, she didn't expect to borrow someone else's wood kiln just by saying a few words.
"Is Zhou Xia doing okay now?" Zhang Moyan asked about another thing that concerned him.
Geng Jun said: "She has already shown some slight reactions to external stimuli. Next month I will take her to the United States for further treatment. I am confident that I can help her regain consciousness within a year!"
Zhang Moyan was genuinely happy: "Great, you really are an excellent doctor!"
Geng Jun said cheerfully, "If it's quick, maybe less than a year. If possible, I'd like to hold a wedding with you and Xiao Xingyu! Now that I've convinced both sets of parents, they won't let me stop you from being with Zhou Xia!"
Geng Baishan put his hands behind his back and said unhappily, "You little bastard, I just can't bear to part with my grandson!"
Zhang Moyan lowered her head. What about a wedding? Her marriage to Xiao Xingyu was practically dead in name only! What happened a month ago had left Xiao Xingyu in a coma for three days. She had cared for him until he opened his eyes, but he disappeared the second he opened them. She didn't know how to face him or his family.
After a while, when I'm mentally prepared, I'll take the initiative to file for divorce. It's best to just stop exchanging emails and keep Xiao Xingyu away from her so she doesn't ruin things for him. Alas, it's better not to think about these things.
The days go by one after another, and every day is repetitive. Today, the pottery class said that they can find jobs after graduation. I am quite looking forward to receiving this news.
At noon, I had lunch with the students in the restaurant and listened to them talking about their husbands and children. Although they complained, every word they said was actually a show of love and sweetness. Zhang Moyan felt that even the braised pork ribs were not delicious anymore.
"Zhang Moyan, your phone is ringing!"
After being reminded, she finally picked up the phone. It was actually a video call from her mother-in-law, Meng Xiaoya! Zhang Moyan quickly wiped the grease from her mouth and answered the call.
"Mom,...why are you in the hospital?"
In the video, Meng Xiaoya was wearing a hospital gown, lying on the hospital bed with tears in her eyes. "Mo Yan, my illness has relapsed! I just heard the doctor tell my assistant that I only have six months to live... Woohoo, Mo Yan, what should I do?"
The sudden news made Zhang Moyan at a loss: "Mom, don't cry, I'll go see you wherever you are!"
I rushed to Meng Xiaoya's ward in a hurry. Meng Xiaoya was curled up on the bed in a daze, looking extremely pitiful, as if the sky had fallen.
"Mom?" Zhang Moyan sat carefully beside her bed.
Meng Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then she tightly grasped Zhang Moyan's hand: "Moyan, you're here! I'm so scared. I don't want to die so young. I just got a wife and haven't even had a grandchild yet..."
Meng Xiaoya couldn't help crying again, and Zhang Moyan followed suit, crying as she hugged her in her arms: "Mom, it's okay. We will cooperate with the doctor's treatment. I will also work hard. You will definitely be able to hold your grandson."
"Really?"
Zhang Moyan patted Meng Xiaoya on the back: "Of course it's true."
I don't know where he got the confidence to lie to people.
"Mom—" The ward door was hastily opened, and a man with a perfect appearance, figure and temperament rushed in. When he saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugging each other, his tongue suddenly became uncontrollable. "You, what you said on the phone... is it true?"
The moment Zhang Moyan saw Xiao Xingyu, her heart skipped a beat.
Meng Xiaoya proudly smoothed her hair and straightened her back. "Of course it's fake! I came here for a physical yesterday and the doctor just showed me the report today. I can live another 30 years!"
Zhang Moyan was stunned: "Mom? You..."
Xiao Xingyu was speechless: "Ms. Meng, you actually joked about this, I was scared to death!"
He was talking to Meng Xiaoya, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Moyan. His heart was beating even faster than when he was rushing here!
"How can I keep you two together if I don't do this?" Meng Xiaoya smiled and put Zhang Moyan's hand on her heart. When she glanced at Xiao Xingyu, her eyes immediately turned cold and stern. "When are you going to face Moyan? You are as timid as a mouse, which is not like me at all! Well, Moyan has already told me that she wants me to hold her grandson. In nine months, I will have a child to play with! Well, it's your turn now, tell me what you are going to do?"
