"Yes, it was assigned to me," Tan Xiuming replied in a deep voice. No emotion could be heard in his voice.
"Is that so? Yule, didn't you also want to go to the military hospital before? Why did it change? Otherwise, you two could be colleagues again. If it were you, I would kick Mu Chuan out. He didn't even come when you returned to Beijing today. Even if he's my brother and comrade-in-arms, it doesn't matter."
"What's wrong with you today? Why do you say that?" Jiang Yule hit Zhou Jialin's arm in dissatisfaction. He was worried that Tan Xiuming would misunderstand him, and was also worried that Tan Xiuming would talk about the past and make Zhou Jialin worried. He quickly interrupted and said, "Why don't I go to the Beijing Hospital? That's where my mother used to work."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine, just talk, why did you hit me?" Zhou Jialin smiled brightly, but he was gritting his teeth in anger. However, since there were outsiders around, he did not interrupt Jiang Yule and changed the subject to talk about other things.
"Comrade Tan, there is a guesthouse near my home. You can stay there for now. I will pick you up tomorrow morning to show you the house. You have to go shopping on your own today. My parents know she is coming back, but they have been preparing for several days. She can't leave today."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, thank you for your help."
"polite"
"Is Uncle Zhou home today?" Jiang Yule asked doubtfully. She had hardly seen Uncle Zhou when she went to the countryside. She heard that he was very busy at work, but now he was at home preparing things for her. Wouldn't that be too much trouble?
"I'm at home. I just finished some things a while ago and have been very free recently. I usually plant flowers, cook and scold me at home."
Zhou Jialin spoke in an unruly tone, and Jiang Yule burst out laughing.
"Did you get into a fight again? Uncle Zhou is so elegant, but you made him start swearing. You are extraordinary."
"I didn't fight. I'm an adult now, why would I fight? He asked me to work for him, starting from the grassroots level, but I refused. I should blame that nagging know-it-all. He could have just worked for his father, but he told everyone about it. Even if he said that, he's still doing well. Now, isn't that right..."
"Know-it-all?" Jiang Yule felt vaguely that this title was familiar.
"It's Bai Yuan, the tall and strong one you met when you were a child. He was the one I asked to investigate Nie...your affairs before."
"Speaking of this, I got so busy that I forgot about it. You said you would help me investigate this, why didn't you tell me?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Jialin suddenly lost his confidence, his eyes wandering, "Hey, little girl, why do you know those things? They are all dirty things, don't ask anymore."
Jiang Yule couldn't help but think of some random thoughts when he heard this, as well as some things he had talked about with Meng Wanshu. It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. The more he talked, the more curious he became.
Jiang Yule is a very curious person, otherwise he wouldn't be so enthusiastic about studying boring medical knowledge.
It was the same at this time. Although it was someone else's private matter, she was really curious...
During the chat, Zhou Jialin drove the car to the door of the guesthouse and stopped, then turned sideways and said, "Comrade Tan, we're here. We'll be there at nine tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you for your help today. Goodbye." Tan Xiuming thanked him and got out of the car. Looking at the departing car, he didn't know what he was thinking, but one thing was certain, he shouldn't reveal his attitude too early. If he approached Jiang Yule slowly like Zhou Jialin did, would things be different? At least he wouldn't be as distant as he is now.
Sighing slightly, he turned and entered the guesthouse.
In the car without outsiders, Zhou Jialin had nowhere to hide and was threatened and lured by Jiang Yule.
"Zhou Jialin, can you please tell me what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Oh, don't ask me. I can't tell you. If my mother knew that I told you these shameful things, she would chop me up."
"You make me feel better when you say that. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you and won't tell Aunt An what you told me. Besides, she doesn't know about my going to the countryside." Jiang Yule was so curious that Zhou Jialin didn't let go after talking for a long time, so he continued, "If you don't tell me again, I'll tell Aunt An that you bullied me!"
"Hey, you're not tired of using this trick, are you?"
"It works." Jiang Yule smiled brightly. Seeing that she wanted to know so much, Zhou Jialin was silent for a moment, selecting what to say. After a long time, he spoke, "Nie Xiangdie has a brother who is adopted by others, but in fact, he is the child born from Nie Xiangdie's mother and her childhood sweetheart before she got married. Later, the marriage did not end and the man died in an accident. Her mother was reluctant to abort the child, so she pretended to be recovering from illness and gave the child to her brother's family to raise. She told others that she found the child on the road."
"Her brother's family also had a child, and later gave birth to a son, so they couldn't afford to raise this child."
"When the child was three years old, Nie Xiangdie's parents got married. Nie Xiangdie's mother said that she got along well with the child, and her brother's family couldn't afford to raise her, so they adopted her into their own name. Nie Xiangdie's father was a small leader in the factory, and his family was well off. He didn't want his wife to be unhappy, so he raised her. Nie Xiangdie was born in the first year of their marriage. The older and younger brothers took care of their sister and did everything themselves. But people are like that, and neighbors gossip a lot. The brother knew from a young age that he was not his biological child, but he still protected his sister very much. But later, Nie Xiangdie's mother found out that her son liked her daughter, so how could this work?"
"But my son has a decent job and is doing well, so Nie Xiangdie went to the countryside..."
"No, this is full of doubts. How can it not be discovered if you have a child before getting married?" Jiang Yule asked bluntly. Zhou Jialin's face immediately turned red, and he stammered to interrupt her irrelevant words.
"Jiang Yule! You are a lesbian, why do you care about those things!"
