Chapter 152 The court accepted the case.
"My mom is calling me!"
Shen Qingshu got up and was about to run over when Jin Que reached out and stopped her in time.
The climate in the ancient town is pleasant this season, perfect for light and comfortable short-sleeved shirts.
A man's palms are dry and warm.
Shen Qingshu paused, then looked down at the hand holding her wrist.
Long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles.
Jin Que noticed her gaze and withdrew his hand. "Sorry, I just wanted to tell you not to go over there yet."
Shen Qingshu didn't care; her only concern was for her mother. "I'm afraid she'll worry if she can't find me."
“Observe her first,” Jin Que said. “Give her some time to react.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu immediately understood and nodded with her lips pursed.
The door opened, and Jiang Yuelan walked out of the room.
Shen Qingshu stared at her.
“Ah Shu…”
Jiang Yuelan's first glance fell on the New Year's decorations in the living room.
She looked around and soon saw the frost pattern on the glass window.
"A-Shu, A-Shu..."
Jiang Yuelan walked to the French windows, raised her hand to touch the paper-cut window decorations, and looked around anxiously.
When she saw Shen Qingshu and Jin Que, a look of panic flashed in her eyes.
Clearly, she did not recognize Shen Qingshu.
The initial surprise in Shen Qingshu's heart quickly dissipated.
Jin Que noticed Shen Qingshu's mood and said gently, "Your idea is very good. Arrange the house to look like your old house. When Aunt Jiang wakes up and sees the familiar environment, even if she doesn't remember it, she will subconsciously feel very safe. You can see that her stress reaction has obviously lessened."
Looking at her mother's current behavior, Shen Qingshu felt that Jin Que's words made a lot of sense.
Compared to before, this is a huge improvement.
“Ah Shu…”
Jiang Yuelan pressed her face against the glass and kept calling out Shen Qingshu in a low voice.
Shen Qingshu slowly walked towards her.
Jin Que reminded her, "You also need to be careful. If she has another stress reaction, you need to leave immediately, otherwise she may accidentally hurt you again."
Shen Qingshu nodded and slowly walked towards Jiang Yuelan, calling softly, "Mom, look at me, A-Shu is here!"
Jiang Yuelan blinked and turned to look at Shen Qingshu.
“Ah Shu…” She frowned, her eyes still revealing a hint of confusion and unease.
"Mom, it's me."
Jiang Yuelan took a few steps back, staring timidly at Shen Qingshu, "A-Shu, A-Shu..."
She called out "A-Shu" more and more frequently, and she seemed somewhat anxious.
Jin Que immediately stood up. "Stop for a moment and give her some time to react."
Shen Qingshu stopped a few steps away from Jiang Yuelan and stared at her. "Mom?"
Jiang Yuelan stared intently at Shen Qingshu.
"A-Shu..." she murmured, "A-Shu, Nian..."
She pointed to the paper-cut window decorations, "Ah Shu, wait for me... for the New Year..."
Shen Qingshu understood.
Tears streamed down her face as she nodded vigorously, her voice choked with emotion, "Yes, A-Shu has been waiting for her mother to come home for the New Year..."
Jiang Yuelan frowned and tilted her head as she looked at Shen Qingshu's tearful face.
Then, she raised her hand and touched the tears on Shen Qingshu's face, "A-Shu, don't cry... don't cry..."
Shen Qingshu cried her heart out.
Jiang Yuelan awkwardly wiped away Shen Qingshu's tears, but she didn't understand why the more she wiped, the more tears A-Shu shed.
Finally, she got anxious and started sobbing, her lips trembling.
However, her crying this time was very different from her previous intense, stressful cries.
At this moment, Jiang Yuelan was like a helpless child, crying as she wiped away Shen Qingshu's tears.
"Ah Shu, don't cry, don't cry..."
Shen Qingshu hugged her mother and gently stroked her back. "Mom, I'm not crying anymore. Let's not cry anymore."
"Don't cry, don't cry..." Jiang Yuelan hugged Shen Qingshu and patted her shoulder like an adult comforting a baby. "Qingshu, don't cry, Qingshu, don't cry..."
Jiang Yuelan only said a few words when she came and went, but for Shen Qingshu, this was already great news!
…
Jiang Yuelan was much more at ease in her familiar surroundings.
But Jin Que said it might not be so easy to fully regain his senses.
Currently, Jiang Yuelan only recognizes Shen Qingshu. When she is not in control of her emotions, she thinks about her 'A-Shu'.
Moreover, Jiang Yuelan's period of consciousness was very short.
After about an hour of being awake, one will start to feel sleepy, or enter a state of dementia or absent-mindedness.
Jin Que observed Jiang Yuelan for half a day and had a plan in mind. He prescribed some medicine and asked Guan Yue to decoct it at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic and send it over.
The traditional Chinese medicine was very bitter, and Jiang Yuelan was unwilling to drink it.
Shen Qingshu took out the White Rabbit milk candy that Jiang Yuelan used to coax her to drink medicine when she was a child.
Jiang Yuelan saw the White Rabbit milk candy tea and obediently drank the Chinese medicine.
"Milk candy! Milk candy!" She eagerly handed her hand to Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu placed the milk candy in her hand.
Jiang Yuelan was overjoyed and put the milk candy in her pocket. "Little Ashu, love! Milk candy, for Little Ashu, for Little Ashu!"
Shen Qingshu was startled, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Although her mother was mentally challenged, she still remembered that "Little Ashu" loved to eat White Rabbit milk candy. She would even drink Chinese medicine herself but couldn't bear to eat the milk candy, and only wanted to save the milk candy for her Little Ashu.
She may never understand in her lifetime that her little Ah Shu has grown up and is now a mother herself.
Jiang Yuelan yawned; she was sleepy.
Shen Qingshu sniffed, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes, and coaxed Jiang Yuelan into her room to rest.
After Jiang Yuelan fell asleep, Shen Qingshu came out of the room.
The sound of running water came from the kitchen.
Shen Qingshu walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Jin Que was washing the bowl that Jiang Yuelan had just drunk her Chinese medicine from.
The man had a tall, slender figure from behind, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, with broad shoulders and long legs.
Shen Qingshu hurriedly walked in, "Dr. Jin, how can I let you wash the dishes? Please put me down..."
"It's just a bowl." Jin Que dodged Shen Qingshu's outstretched hand. "It was just something I did."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and withdrew her hand. "Thank you. You've really gone to so much trouble these past few days."
Aren't we friends?
Shen Qingshu was taken aback. Meeting the man's questioning gaze, she nodded helplessly, "He's a friend, that's true, but..."
“It’s normal for friends to help each other out.” Jin Que’s voice was deep and pleasant. He asked, “Is Aunt Jiang asleep?”
"Mmm." Shen Qingshu smiled. "She fell asleep quickly after lying down."
“You really do have a way.” Jin Que turned off the tap, dried the bowl with kitchen paper, and put it in the pull-out basket. “Let’s talk outside.”
Shen Qingshu nodded.
The two came out of the kitchen and walked down into the living room.
“Familiarity with people and things can bring Aunt Jiang a sense of security, which will definitely be very helpful for her treatment.” Jin Que paused, then continued, “But she only recognizes you now, so you will have a hard time.”
"As long as my mother can get better, all the hardship is worth it."
“I know you’re not afraid of hard work, but you still have Xiao Anning and your job. We don’t know how long Aunt Jiang’s treatment will take. You can’t just stay by her side every day.”
Calmly and gently, she relaxed her furrowed brow.
Indeed, it's unrealistic to stay by my mother's side 24 hours a day.
“You need help.” Jin Que looked at Shen Qingshu and said, “Think about it, is there anyone suitable?”
Shen Qingshu immediately thought of Aunt Qin.
Aunt Qin had taken care of my mother, so she was considered an acquaintance to my mother.
Shen Qingshu immediately contacted Aunt Qin.
When Aunt Qin learned that Jiang Yuelan was still alive, she immediately agreed to come to Jiangcheng to take care of her.
-
The next day, Shen Qingshu personally went to the airport to pick up Aunt Qin.
On the way back from the airport, Shen Qingshu told Aunt Qin about Jiang Yuelan's current situation.
Aunt Qin listened with tears streaming down her face, clasping her hands together and murmuring, "It's truly a blessing from heaven! Good people are rewarded! Good people are rewarded!"
…
Jiang Yuelan woke up and couldn't find Shen Qingshu, so she was a little anxious. Jin Que turned on the TV and let her watch cartoons to distract her.
She's like a child now; most of the time she's easy to soothe unless she's provoked.
When Shen Qingshu brought Aunt Qin back, Jiang Yuelan and Jin Que were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
The TV was showing Bald Qiang.
Jiang Yuelan really likes this animated film.
When Jin Que saw them return, he stood up and gave Aunt Qin a slight nod, behaving politely and gentlemanly.
Aunt Qin's eyes lit up when she saw Jin Que, and she exclaimed in a loud voice, "Miss Shen, is this your new boyfriend? He's even more handsome than Lawyer Fu and Xiao Wen! Oh my god, that model-like face and that aura, so good! He's such a perfect match for our Miss Shen!"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Jin Que was taken aback, then smiled gently, "Aunt Qin is humorous and interesting. No wonder Miss Shen still remembers you after four years."
These words promptly eased Shen Qingshu's embarrassment.
“Aunt Qin, this is my mother’s current attending physician. He is Jin Que, the last disciple of the famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Mr. Mu,” Shen Qingshu introduced.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qin realized that she had misunderstood!
She looked at Jin Que and said with an embarrassed smile, "Dr. Jin, I'm sorry, I'm just a straightforward person, please don't mind!"
Jin Que smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Aunt Qin, you flatter me."
Shen Qingshu led Aunt Qin to sit down next to Jiang Yuelan.
Jiang Yuelan was engrossed in watching the animation and had no time to notice who was beside her.
Shen Qingshu paused the TV.
Jiang Yuelan frowned, blinked blankly, then slowly turned her head to look at Shen Qingshu, "A-Shu, look, look!"
She pointed at the television.
"Mom, let's watch the cartoon later, okay?" Shen Qingshu pointed to Aunt Qin, "Look, this is Aunt Qin, you two used to know each other."
Jiang Yuelan turned to look at Aunt Qin.
Aunt Qin looked at her and asked with a smile, "Madam, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Yuelan frowned and shook her head.
“You used to call me Aqin. Think about it, Aqin.”
Jiang Yuelan shook her head again; she couldn't remember and just wanted to watch TV.
Shen Qingshu didn't dare to force her too much, so she let her continue watching the animation.
For the next three days, Shen Qingshu stayed in the apartment with Jiang Yuelan.
Although Jiang Yuelan didn't remember Aunt Qin, under Shen Qingshu's guidance, Jiang Yuelan gradually got used to Aunt Qin's presence and began to accept Aunt Qin's companionship and care.
On the fourth day, Shen Qingshu received a call from her lawyer.
The lawyer said the court has accepted the divorce case and the hearing is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
The lawyer handling the case asked her whether she would appear in court in person or by appointing a lawyer to appear on her behalf.
