"What's wrong with women? Don't women have the right to rest?"
"You! I can't understand you at all!"
When it comes to eloquence, Yue Keqi can't beat Jiang Jingxue, so she can only turn to the side and sulk.
Jiang Jingxue hummed softly, leaned back against Gu Pingwei's shoulder, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
This man is hers; he is her fiancé.
There are perfectly healthy people right here, might as well use them.
Why should we care what others think?
Seeing that the two had turned to one side and were quite far apart, Gu Pingwei thought that Jiang Jingxue was competing with Yue Keqi.
He gently took her hand and whispered in her ear, "You don't need to be too wary of her. I only see her as a younger sister and have no romantic feelings for her."
Jiang Jingxue replied frankly, "I know."
If Gu Pingwei truly had feelings for Yue Keqi, the two of them would have been together long ago. Why would they wait until now?
After all, they were childhood sweethearts.
Just as Jiang Jingxue was drifting off to sleep, the car slowly came to a stop.
"Major, we've arrived."
Jiang Jingxue opened her eyes and found herself at the entrance of the Gu residence.
"We're home, let's get off the bus."
With Chen Hong's help, Gu Pingwei got out of the car and sat in a wheelchair, then reached out his hand to Jiang Jingxue.
Jiang Jingxue got out of the car with Gu Pingwei's help.
"Chen Hong, take Miss Yue home."
Gu Pingwei sent Chen Hong to escort Yue Keqi.
Yue Keqi, however, pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
"I don't want to go back!"
Jiang Jingxue raised an eyebrow at her: "Miss Yue, are you a tagalong? You want to come along even when we go home for a family reunion?"
Yue Keqi said confidently, "Who said I was following you! I... I haven't seen Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu for a long time, so I thought I'd drop by and pay them a visit."
Yue Keqi's words are reasonable.
Jiang Jingxue had no reason to refuse her entry, so she simply let her come along.
The first thing they did upon returning to the Gu residence was, of course, to visit Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
The two elders were very excited to see the two young people.
Tang Qiuzhu, in particular, came over immediately and gave Jiang Jingxue a big hug.
"My dear daughter-in-law! You're finally back! I was so bored when you weren't here."
Tang Qiuzhu warmly took Jiang Jingxue's hand and expressed how much she had missed her during this time.
They probably felt it wouldn't be right to leave Gu Pingwei standing there.
Tang Qiuzhu turned around and gave Gu Pingwei a hug.
"Son, welcome back!"
It was brief, lasting only a few seconds.
Gu Pingwei finally understood that in his mother's eyes, his greatest role was to bring his daughter-in-law back safely.
Gu Xinguo walked over and patted Gu Pingwei on the shoulder.
"My subordinates reported that you successfully contained the cholera outbreak. Not a single member of the troops sent to provide support was infected. This is much better than we expected. Well done, great job!"
Comrade Gu Xinguo highly praised Gu Pingwei's work in the disaster relief efforts.
Gu Pingwei said, "This disaster relief work owes a lot to Jingxue. She isolated and treated the infected people in a unified manner and educated the soldiers in advance on how to prevent infection. She made a great contribution to the resolution of cholera."
Gu Xinguo was once again impressed with his daughter-in-law.
"As expected of my Gu family's daughter-in-law! She truly is a woman who is just as capable as any man!"
Seeing Jiang Jingxue so popular with the Gu family elders and even praised by Uncle Gu, Yue Keqi, who was silently following behind, felt particularly resentful.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, Pingwei's leg ailment has worsened during this mission."
Yue Keqi, with a hidden agenda, began to complain.
Tang's parents were very worried when they heard this.
"Son, is your leg alright?"
Tang Qiuzhu quickly squatted down and looked at Gu Pingwei's legs.
Gu Pingwei shook his head: "It's nothing."
“What do you mean nothing’s wrong! I saw Chen Hong rush over yesterday, saying that Pingwei’s leg was in a lot of pain.”
"Usually, Jiang Jingxue is in charge of giving Pingwei acupuncture and medicinal baths. I wonder if she used the wrong acupuncture technique. Why is Pingwei's leg ailment getting worse and worse?"
Yue Keqi spoke in an innocent tone and her words were quite cryptic.
But the underlying meaning was still to blame Jiang Jingxue for making Gu Pingwei's condition worse.
They wished that Mr. and Mrs. Gu would immediately have a problem with Jiang Jingxue.
Gu's parents thought that Gu Pingwei's leg injury was really serious.
"Pingwei, why don't we go to the hospital again?"
Gu Pingwei stood up directly from his wheelchair.
"Dad, Mom, I'm really okay."
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were also stunned by what they saw.
Tang Qiuzhu, in particular, looked delighted.
"My God! Son, you can stand up now!"
Previously, the doctor said that his legs might be useless and he would never be able to leave the wheelchair again.
The fact that he was able to stand up from his wheelchair meant that his legs were most likely saved, and how could the elderly couple not be overjoyed?
"Jingxue's treatment is very effective. I believe that my legs will recover soon."
"My dear daughter-in-law, I really don't know how to thank you."
Tang Qiuzhu held Jiang Jingxue's hand, her face full of gratitude.
"Pingwei's success today is truly thanks to you!"
Gu Xinguo also spoke up, "You are truly a benefactor to our Gu family!"
Mr. and Mrs. Gu expressed their gratitude to Jiang Jingxue repeatedly, but Jiang Jingxue smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the military doctor. I only played a small role."
Yue Keqi was completely shocked when she saw this scene.
How could she not know that Brother Pingwei could already stand up?
