Chapter 141 Your husband's family...don't object to you going out to work?
Back then, Sang Ning's grandfather's condition worsened, and surgery was necessary to stabilize his condition. However, due to his advanced age, the surgery was too risky. The attending physician said that in the entire city of Beijing, only Jing Mingxu dared to take on the case, and only he could perform the surgery.
Sang Ning naturally had no contact with the Jing family, but one of her grandfather's longtime close friends was a calligrapher whom Jing Jinghe admired. So Sang Ning asked this elder to help her get in touch with Jing Jinghe.
Jing Jinghe didn't want to help with this, but she didn't want to offend the elder, so she gave Sang Ning an invitation to her birthday banquet.
She said her older brother would return to China on the night of his birthday banquet three days later, and told Sang Ning to go find him herself.
As for whether she can get his older brother to help, that depends on her own abilities.
That's why Sang Ning showed up at the birthday party that night.
As a result, she didn't see Jing Mingxu that night, but was inexplicably proposed to by Jing Muchi.
He whispered in her ear that he would have his older brother help treat her grandfather.
It wasn't a referral, but rather asking Dr. Jing for help with the treatment.
For Sang Ning at that time, this was undoubtedly a lifeline in his despair.
She had lived with her grandfather since she was a child, and she was willing to do anything to save his life.
So she agreed to Jing Muchi's offer.
Although she didn't know why Jing Muchi chose her, and even though her vision was blurry at the time and she couldn't see his face clearly, she still agreed.
It wasn't until the next day, when the two went to get their marriage certificate, that she truly saw what Jing Muchi looked like.
He is very good-looking.
And so the two got married.
Although Jing Muchi didn't marry her because he liked her, he treated her quite well.
only……
His mother, however, was extremely dissatisfied with her.
It should be said that Jing's mother has two faces.
He was kind and friendly to Jing Muchi.
But whenever Jing Muchi is not home, she will make things difficult for Sang Ning in all sorts of ways.
Jing Muchi's two older brothers' wives both came from prestigious families, and they each settled down elsewhere. Only Sang Ning lived in the Jing family's old house after she married into the family, living with Jing's parents.
Because Jing Muchi lives abroad year-round, his mother always insists that he stay at home whenever he returns.
This was a condition he had set when he went abroad.
Even after getting married, Jing's mother was unable to keep her son in the country, which made her, who was already extremely dissatisfied with Sang Ning, even more disgusted with her.
Although Jing Muchi returned to China more often after the marriage, his mother was still dissatisfied. Whenever she missed her son, she would pick on Sang Ning and scold her, finding fault with her in various ways.
It's said that she brought her sick and disabled grandfather with her when she married into the Jing family, but that was useless; she couldn't even keep her husband.
Later, after being scolded so much, it evolved into something that wasn't just Jing Muchi's problem. Whenever she was in a bad mood, even if it was just because she lost at cards with those wealthy ladies, she would take it out on Sang Ning when she got home.
Sang Ning knew that a marriage without love, with unequal social status, and especially without parental approval, was not going to last.
She knew she owed the Jing family a debt of gratitude, and that Jing Muchi married her because she was obedient and compliant, and that she put his mind at ease.
Therefore, she accepted whatever Jing's mother did to her and never uttered a single complaint in front of Jing Muchi, allowing him to focus on his career without any worries.
She only hoped that Jing Muchi could transfer his business to China as soon as possible and settle down there.
At that time, she will be able to retire gracefully.
And now, the day she had been waiting for has arrived.
So, it wasn't a misunderstanding between them, but rather...
She no longer needs to remain Jing Muchi's wife.

After finishing their coffee, the two went upstairs to browse women's clothing.
Walking into a clothing store with a professional and dignified design, Qin Shuzhi immediately took a liking to the crimson dress on the mannequin.
"It looks pretty good."
She glanced at it a couple more times and said to Sang Ning, "If my closet wasn't overflowing with clothes, I would definitely have tried this on."
Sang Ning said, "Buying one more set shouldn't be a problem, right?"
“My husband bought me a lot of clothes, and a few days ago, his grandma bought me another batch.”
She smiled helplessly and said, "I have so many clothes now that I could go a whole month without wearing the same thing twice, let alone a week at work."
Upon hearing this, Sang Ning was taken aback. "Your husband's grandmother bought you clothes?"
"yes."
Qin Shuzhi nodded, "Grandma said that a new semester should bring a fresh start, and we should get a new set of clothes too."
Sang Ning looked at her, a hint of surprise and envy flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't your husband's family... object to you going out to work?"
"I don't object."
After Qin Shuzhi finished speaking, she realized something and turned to look at her, "The Jing family... doesn't allow their daughter-in-law to go out to work?"
Sang Ning smiled awkwardly, "Not really."
Jing Muchi's two sisters-in-law both have their own jobs.
So to be precise, Jing's mother was only targeting her, forbidding her from going out to work.
"Sang Ning, do you want to try this outfit on? I think it would look great on you."
Qin Shuzhi recommended it.
"No, I... don't really like this style."
Sang Ning was too embarrassed to admit that she was short of money; she didn't dare to buy anything before she received her salary.
Seeing that she didn't seem to have any desire to buy anything, Qin Shuzhi stopped browsing the women's clothing section and went to look at other interesting items instead.
Around 5 o'clock.
Qin Shuzhi was saying that they were going to eat at an authentic Thai restaurant later when Sang Ning's phone rang.
She saw Sang Ning take the phone out and look at it, then quickly put it back without answering.
The call had barely been put down when it rang again. Qin Shuzhi smiled and said, "Is that President Jing? Why don't you answer it? I reckon he'll call again if you don't."
Sang Ning thought about it and agreed, then took two steps to the side and answered, "What are you doing?"
Jing Muchi said from the other end of the line, "What time is it? Why aren't you back yet?"
"I'm shopping with my friends, I'll go home tonight."
"No, you have to come back and cook for me."
Sang Ning was truly exasperated with this troublesome person. She took a deep breath and said in a gentle tone, "Why don't you go out to eat tonight?"
"I want to eat what you made."
Sang Ning: "I ate out tonight."
Jing Muchi: "I don't care, if you don't come back, I'll go to your school tomorrow and put up a banner saying you're abusing your husband."
"Jing Muchi, can you stop being so childish?"
"In short, you're not home within 40 minutes." Jing Muchi snorted. "I'll have Xu Hui prepare the banner tonight. You can handle it yourself."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Sang Ning looked helpless.
Jing Muchi has always been the type to act on his whims, and she was afraid that he might actually do something outrageous.
If he really goes to the school and causes trouble, that would be terrible.
She was recommended for this job by her former mentor. If she causes trouble after only a few days, she will not only lose her job, but also embarrass her mentor.
After thinking for a moment, she could only walk over and say to Qin Shuzhi with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Shuzhi, I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you tonight."
Judging from her expression, Qin Shuzhi roughly guessed what had happened and said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll make an appointment next time."
