"Don't move."
Seeing Jiang Yue's pained expression, Shen Huaiyuan hurriedly put the water glass aside and reached out to help her up.
"Your knees are all worn out. Even though the master has applied medicine, it still hurts a lot when you move. Try not to move around too much these next few days."
The master said the injury would heal in a few days.
Shen Huaiyuan carefully helped Jiang Yue sit up and handed her the water.
Jiang Yue's face turned pale with pain, but in order not to worry Shen Huaiyuan, she could only endure the pain, pretend to be calm, and take the water that Shen Huaiyuan handed her, taking a sip.
The warm water flowed down her throat, instantly making Jiang Yue feel much better.
After finishing the glass of water, Jiang Yue's complexion improved considerably. "Uncle, I feel much better."
I'm sorry I worried you this time.
"Why are you still being so polite with your uncle?"
Shen Huaiyuan took the empty cup Jiang Yue handed him, poured her another cup of water, and placed it aside.
"Would you care for something to eat?"
It's already past 10 p.m., and the sky in F city is just beginning to darken.
Jiang Yue touched her belly. She didn't feel hungry, but for the sake of the baby in her belly, she still forced herself to eat some of the vegetarian food from the temple.
After Jiang Yue finished eating, Shen Huaiyuan called someone in to clean up the food before speaking to Jiang Yue: "Yueyue, the abbot said that your knee has a lingering problem. It will ache unbearably when it gets cold, and in severe cases it may even affect your ability to walk."
After Shen Huaiyuan finished speaking, he carefully observed the changes in Jiang Yue's face.
Is that so?
Jiang Yue's expression was calm, as if she had expected this outcome long ago. She was not saddened by it, and Shen Huaiyuan even saw a hint of relief on her face.
Yes, thankfully.
"Judging from your reaction, it seems the master was right. You knew this would happen when you came."
Shen Huaiyuan looked at Jiang Yue with some anger.
Jiang Yue forced a smile and gave Shen Huaiyuan a guilty one. "When I came here, my master told me that if I wanted Lu Jingnian and the child in her womb to live, I would have to pay a price."
But he didn't say what the price I would have to pay, and I can't figure it out myself.
But looking back now, I'm quite lucky. I only have a chronic knee problem; it's a miracle God didn't leave me disabled.
"You don't even know what will happen to you, yet you still dare to do this. Aren't you afraid that you'll really become crippled and Lu Jingnian won't want you anymore when he comes back?"
Is it worth it to put yourself through this much trouble for Lu Jingnian?
Shen Huaiyuan couldn't understand it. He had always prioritized self-interest, and even if he were married, he would never go to such lengths for a woman.
"worth."
Jiang Yue nodded without hesitation and replied to Shen Huaiyuan, "Uncle, even if I really become disabled, I believe Lu Jingnian will not give up on me."
He's not that kind of person; he deserves it.
Shen Huaiyuan: "...You told Yao Hua not to be love-struck, but I think you are the one who is love-struck. You've made yourself so miserable for a man."
"After Lu Jingnian returns, he'd better not dare to look down on you, otherwise I definitely won't let him off the hook."
“I know, Uncle, you are my strongest support.” Jiang Yue looked at Shen Huaiyuan and gave him a flattering smile. “Actually, I did this not only for him and the child, but also for myself.”
"If the child isn't born safely, I won't live either."
"Don't try to make excuses for him. Even if you weren't pregnant, if your master told you that if you came here and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, you could avert Lu Jingnian's death, wouldn't you come?" Shen Huaiyuan said, rolling his eyes speechlessly.
Jiang Yue: "..." She will definitely come.
A short while later, the abbot came again. Seeing that Jiang Yue had woken up, he smiled and nodded.
"Benefactor Jiang, the old monk has made all the necessary preparations for the blessing ceremony, which can begin tomorrow." As he spoke, the master took out a jade Buddha and handed it to Jiang Yue.
“Please keep this jade Buddha carefully, Jiang. You must wear it on the day you give birth.”
"Thank you, Master." Jiang Yue reverently accepted the jade Buddha and carefully put it away.
The master looked at Jiang Yue with compassionate eyes, "Amitabha, may Benefactor Jiang soon achieve her wish and turn misfortune into good fortune."
After the master left, Shen Huaiyuan realized it was getting late, so he called in the female caregiver he had hired for Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue had a knee injury and difficulty moving around, so she needed someone to take care of her at night. Shen Huaiyuan, a grown man, couldn't keep watch at night, so when Jiang Yue was unconscious, he sent someone down the mountain to fetch a female caregiver.
"Yueyue, it's getting late."
"Get some rest. If anything happens, just have Xiao Chen call me."
Shen Huaiyuan pointed to the caregiver who came in, "This is the caregiver I found for you. Her name is Chen Man. You can just call her Xiao Chen."
Jiang Yue looked at Xiao Chen, who was standing not far away, looking at Jiang Yue somewhat awkwardly. She seemed to be a very honest person. She was wearing a somewhat worn cotton-padded jacket and trousers, but they were very clean.
Jiang Yue smiled kindly at Xiao Chen, then looked at Shen Huaiyuan and said with a smile, "I understand, Uncle. You should get some rest too."
Soon, Shen Huaiyuan left.
As soon as Shen Huaiyuan left, Xiao Chen quickly went to Jiang Yue's side and asked, "Sister Jiang Yue, do you want to rest now?"
"Should I go get some warm water to wash your face?"
Jiang Yue had just woken up from her coma and wasn't very sleepy yet.
Hearing Xiao Chen say that, he nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do."
Xiao Chen worked very efficiently and quickly brought in a basin of warm water to wipe Jiang Yue's face and wash her hands. She was very careful not to hurt Jiang Yue.
After wiping her face and hands, Jiang Yue felt much better.
I glanced at the time; it was almost midnight.
Jiang Yue asked Xiao Chen to help her lie down, then asked Xiao Chen to turn off the light and let her go to sleep.
There was a small couch in the meditation room, with a quilt already laid out on it, where Xiao Chen slept.
It was already dark outside. Jiang Yue lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) unable to sleep, so she started planning what to do when she got back.
Her master told her to do more good deeds, but Jiang Yue felt that helping one person at a time was too inefficient and wouldn't help many people.
Why doesn't she learn from those philanthropists, go back and build schools, and donate supplies to impoverished areas?
To establish a foundation to help those who cannot afford medical care.
Then they provide financial assistance to students who are academically gifted but cannot afford to attend school due to family poverty.
There are also orphanages...
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yue felt that there was so much she could do. Her dividends this year probably wouldn't be enough to do all of it, but that's okay, she could take it slow.
Do big things according to your abilities.
Thinking this, Jiang Yue ignored the pain in her knee and quickly fell asleep.
