"Um, Mom was just passing by and didn't hear anything! You guys continue, you guys continue!"
Tang Qiuzhu's voice came from outside the door, clearly indicating that she had misunderstood something.
A blush crept onto Gu Pingwei's face.
this……
This is truly a case of "no amount of clearing one's name can ever do."
Jiang Jingxue also felt somewhat uneasy.
But she still pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Anyway, it was bound to happen sooner or later, so what if I heard it?"
Jiang Jingxue's words once again shocked Gu Pingwei.
What kind of insolent and lewd words are these?
What little girl could say that?
at this time.
Yao Guilan's room.
Jiang Zhizhi complained indignantly.
"Mom, look at that ungrateful Jiang Jingxue!"
"Now she's climbed up to Gu Pingwei and become the wife of a major! Yet she doesn't even acknowledge you, her own mother, or me, her own sister!"
Yao Guilan also had some reservations about Jiang Jingxue's behavior.
But at this time, you can't afford to offend her.
After all, their family was hoping to achieve a life of luxury through her.
“Your sister is right. She just got married, and it’s really not right for her to use Gu Pingwei’s money to subsidize us.”
"If her mother-in-law finds out, she'll probably have a problem with our family again."
"After all, I'm her biological mother. She wouldn't abandon me. When she left, she must have secretly slipped me a ten-yuan note, right?"
night.
While they were eating together, Tang Qiuzhu lovingly served food to Jiang Jingxue.
"Jingxue, come on, eat more."
For some reason, Jiang Jingxue felt that Aunt Tang's smile was a little too enthusiastic.
Gu Pingwei couldn't bear to watch any longer and coughed lightly.
"Mom, if you keep putting food in her bowl, it'll be overflowing."
"Son, you should eat more too!"
Tang Qiuzhu turned around and served Gu Pingwei a bowl of sea cucumber soup.
"I asked the kitchen to make this especially for you. Mom will serve you more after you finish yours!"
Seeing the sea cucumber in the bowl, Gu Pingwei was speechless.
It was just a misunderstanding, why did he have to go to such lengths to fix it?
Jiang Jingxue was truly terrified by her future mother-in-law's food attacks.
A bowl overflowing with food—it's hard to decide whether to eat it or not.
She quickly changed the subject, saying, "My mom and the others are going back tomorrow, honey. How about we have Qin Liang take them to the station?"
"You can arrange it as you see fit."
"Oh dear, you're leaving so soon? Why not stay a couple more days? Did we not treat you well?"
Tang Qiuzhu's attention quickly shifted to Yao Guilan and her daughter.
"No, no!"
Yao Guilan quickly denied it.
"I'm a little worried about who will feed the chickens and ducks back home, so I'd better go back soon."
"Father-in-law, after Jingxue and Pingwei get married, we will be family. We must visit each other often."
"Definitely! Definitely!"
After dinner.
Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi, mother and daughter, returned to their room.
Jiang Zhizhi said indignantly, "Mom, Jiang Jingxue is such an ingrate, she's gone too far!"
"She's not even married to Gu Pingwei yet, and she's already putting on such airs. When we went home, she wouldn't even see us off; she just sent Gu Pingwei's men to take us?!"
Yao Guilan: "That's good too. After all, I'm Gu Pingwei's mother-in-law. Qin Liang, that greenhorn, won't dare to neglect me. He might even be more willing to ask for money!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhizhi's eyes lit up.
"That's right! As long as we ask, he definitely won't dare not refuse! We can make a killing again!"
The mother and daughter went to bed early, dreaming such sweet dreams.
Gu Pingwei's room.
Jiang Jingxue was disinfecting the needle, preparing to administer acupuncture to Gu Pingwei.
Gu Pingwei frowned slightly, remaining silent as if he had something on his mind.
He was preoccupied with his thoughts, which caused his anger to build up, making the acupuncture treatment less successful.
In addition to diagnosing physical ailments, it is equally important for a doctor to heal the mind.
"What's wrong, Gu Pingwei? What happened?"
Jiang Jingxue asked.
Gu Pingwei didn't hide it from her.
"Just now, my men reported that several surrounding villages were not evacuated in time, resulting in serious casualties, including many elderly people and children..."
He couldn't bear to continue and closed his eyes, feeling somewhat guilty.
"If I had gotten there sooner and told them the news, and helped them evacuate, this might not have happened."
Hearing his heavy voice, Jiang Jingxue also felt a little regretful.
She gave Gu Pingwei a hug.
"Gu Pingwei, don't think too much about it. Our situation was also very urgent at the time, and there was no way we could get there in time."
"Besides, all communications were cut off that day, so you have no idea what the situation was like in those villages."
"Even if we contact those villages and tell them what's about to happen, they probably won't believe us."
“We are all ordinary people and have no way to predict the future. You have done your best, so don’t think about what has already happened.”
"The only thing we can do now is to focus on disaster relief."
"Our top priority is to transport supplies to the survivors and rescue those who are trapped."
Hearing Jiang Jingxue's words, Gu Pingwei indeed calmed down considerably.
"You're right, we need to ensure that the survivors have enough supplies to stay alive!"
"Gu Pingwei, you trust me, let me lead the team to participate in the rescue!"
Jiang Jingxue, after all, had experience from her previous life and had seen many disaster relief cases on television, so she was more than capable of handling these situations.
Gu Pingwei hesitated.
She is, after all, a woman.
He didn't want her to be in danger during such arduous disaster relief work.
Jiang Jingxue noticed Gu Pingwei's concerns.
"Gu Pingwei, I'm a doctor, I'm the most suitable person to go!"
Gu Pingwei saw the seriousness in Jiang Jingxue's eyes.
He finally nodded.
"good."
He also wanted to see just how high her abilities could go.
Since he met her, he always seems to be able to surprise her.
the next day.
Jiang Jingxue got up early in the morning.
Gu Pingwei went into the study without even eating.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Jingxue went to the study to say goodbye to Gu Pingwei.
Gu Pingwei grabbed her hand.
Don't go.
Jiang Jingxue was somewhat surprised.
"Why? Didn't we agree that I would lead the team?"
Gu Pingwei held her hand tightly, very tightly.
He was a conservative person and rarely initiated physical contact with her.
This was the first time he had ever held her hand so tightly; it was rather unusual.
"Gu Pingwei, you're not worried about me, are you? Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I finish the disaster relief work!"
Jiang Jingxue teased in a lighthearted tone.
Gu Pingwei spoke in a low voice, "I just received a telegram that cholera has broken out in a neighboring village. It's spreading very quickly, and many survivors have already been infected."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxue was stunned.
In an era when resources, medicine, and even transportation were underdeveloped, a large-scale outbreak of cholera could be fatal!
Then she's even more determined to go!
