Chapter 468 Please Stay
Zhuang Hualin bit his lip and said, "Sister Ling, you go see the doctor first. I'll talk to you later."
Doctor Liu examined Huang Ling:
"This lung injury is no small matter. You see, it happens every winter! You should take some Chinese medicine to take good care of yourself. Don't overwork yourself or get too cold, and avoid certain foods. Forget it, there's no point telling you about this. Hualin, call Director Zhou later. Only Director Zhou can treat her."
Huang Ling refused: "No! I won't be able to go to work later."
"Class is more important than your health!" Doctor Liu's calm voice became heavier.
Huang Ling curled her lips, not daring to respond, and whispered softly, "Chinese medicine is a bit troublesome!"
"Don't worry, Director Zhou won't find it troublesome. You don't have to worry about this matter." Doctor Liu immediately gave a solution.
So Dr. Liu wrote a prescription and Zhuang Hualin went to get the medicine for her.
Zhuang Hualin said to her, "Sister Ling, go to work first. I'll prepare the medicine and bring it to you when I get off work. Take one dose today and I'll talk to you about other things later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the factory." Huang Ling nodded.
She knew that Zhuang Hualin might not want Dr. Liu to know about these things, so she didn't ask any further questions and just waited for her at the factory.
Zhuang Hualin really called Zhou Huaiyi when she was about to get off work. Zhou Huaiyi was very grateful when he knew that she was going to deliver the first dose of medicine of the day. He asked her to wait for him at the factory so that he could listen to the doctor's advice.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Hualin filled a thermos with Huang Ling's medicine and then went to the garment factory.
Because open flames are prohibited in all areas of the garment factory, including offices, except for the kitchen and boiler, Zhuang Hualin bought a hot water bottle on the way, thinking that it would be warmer for her to use in the office.
When I arrived at Huang Ling's office, I saw her holding a colorful pillow. I asked curiously:
"Sister Ling, your hot water bottle and pillow are not warm enough."
Huang Ling handed her the pillow with a smile. Zhuang Hualin took it and touched it, only to find that it was warm.
"This isn't a pillow, it's clearly meat bones!" Huang Ling pointed at the zipper and said, "There's a hot water bottle inside. With this protection, it won't get too hot and can keep you warm longer. We also made other shapes. This one is made by me, doesn't it look like one?"
"Ah, it does. Now that you mention it, it does. The shape is good. It can warm your waist if it hurts. How much is one? I'll buy one for Xiangdong to pad his back." Zhuang Hualin picked it up and gestured.
"You can take this later. I have other samples you can use." Huang Ling pushed it to her.
"Okay, thank you Sister Ling. By the way, take your medicine quickly." Zhuang Hualin hurriedly opened the medicine.
Huang Ling frowned, and Zhuang Hualin took out a small paper bag from his pocket and unfolded it. Inside was a few pieces of candied fruit. She smiled and said:
"It was originally used to trick children into taking medicine, and I got a packet for you too."
Huang Ling had no choice but to drink the medicine, then pointed at Zhuang Hualin's cheek and said:
"Tell me what's going on."
There was a red and swollen area there. Based on Huang Ling's experience, it was caused by a slap, but it didn't hit the face.
It definitely wasn’t Xiangdong. Xiangdong is not the kind of person who would resort to violence. Besides, Zhuang Hualin was just thinking about buying him a waist-warming pillow, so it definitely wasn’t him.
"Who else could it be? My biological mother!" Zhuang Hualin said angrily.
The two sat on the sofa in Huang Ling's office, one of them put a warm pillow on his legs, and Zhuang Hualin began to talk about what happened in the Zhuang family.
It turned out that after Pengfei went to college, Zhuang Hualin and his wife felt embarrassed to continue living in this house. It seemed like the three of them were occupying the house, so they thought about renting a house outside.
One day, Zhu Xiuyu got off work early, and the two men mentioned this matter to her.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiuyu interrupted them:
"No need to go out and rent a house. I was just thinking of asking you to help look after the house! Because I will be going to Shanghai to open a branch of Suihualou soon, and I will definitely stay there for a long time. If I leave, you will leave too..."
Zhu Xiu Yu didn't finish her words, but Zhuang Hualin and Xiang Dong both understood what the outcome would be.
The vampire couple would definitely force her eldest brother to move back in, and they would find an excuse to move in. Once they moved in, they would never leave, and the three rooms over there would become a good bargaining chip for Zhuang Ganmei to find a wife when he got out.
"I've already decided that one of the houses belongs to Tunan and the other to Hongbin. I have no objection to Zhuang Chaoying being filial to his parents, but if he wants to live here, that's absolutely not allowed."
Seeing that the two were silent, Zhu Xiuyu asked nervously:
"Isn't my request a bit excessive? This has nothing to do with you. You can live peacefully in a rented house. Besides, they are your parents..."
Zhuang Hualin and Xiangdong looked at each other.
Xiangdong always listened to Zhuang Hualin, so Zhuang Hualin said:
"Sister-in-law, then we won't move. We'll help you guard Hongbin's room. They won't dare touch Tunan's room. I'll lock it normally and open it when Pengfei and Hongbin come back. If they dare to touch it, I'll go find Sister Ling."
Zhu Xiuyu breathed a sigh of relief:
"With you guys here, I feel at ease going to Shanghai. I promised your brother a long time ago that as long as Pengfei goes to college, he can come back to live. I didn't let him come back mainly because I was afraid that if he came back, the two elders would make trouble and affect Pengfei. Now I'm not afraid anymore. It's up to him if he wants to come back to live."
When Zhuang Hualin heard this, he felt happy for his elder brother.
At least living back home is always a step forward. To be honest, she doesn't want her elder brother and Zhu Xiu Yu to divorce.
But Zhu Xiu Yu had her own ideas, and she couldn't do anything about it. She just hoped that her disappointing brother could show some courage to his sister-in-law and see if there was any chance of turning things around.
Xiangdong also said, "I'm thinking of renting a place near here so I can pick up my sister-in-law from get off work."
"I'm going to Shanghai, you can have a good rest." Zhu Xiu Yu said with a smile.
Xiangdong also smiled innocently and said, "It's not a hard job for me! Every time I go to pick up my sister-in-law, I have to eat a midnight snack first. Hualin said I've gained weight."
The three of them happily made an agreement to "guard the room".
But this time, Zhu Xiuyu refused to ask for their rent, so Zhuang Hualin and his wife had no choice but to agree.
In this way, Zhu Xiu Yu went to Shanghai to take care of the branch business with peace of mind, and came back once a week. Of course, she came back not to look at houses, but also to check the accounts and goods in the store.
Everything was peaceful at first.
Zhuang Hualin did not contact his brother, so they did not know that Zhu Xiuyu was away.
One time, Zhuang's mother asked Zhuang Chaoying at home:
"Is your sister still living with you? I asked you to ask Zhu Xiuyu for rent last time. Have you done that? It's been a year. Even if she's dead, she only has one room. You have to pay two-thirds of the rent!"
"Can you please leave it alone? Is it appropriate for me to ask her for rent?" Zhuang Chaoying buried his head in the book without raising his head.
Going to Zhu Xiuyu is just asking for trouble.
The book "Reflections on High School Mathematics Teaching" that he had spent so much effort on was in the final stage. If it was published, the royalties should be quite considerable, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhuang's mother.
"You useless thing!" Zhuang's mother scolded.
"Yes, I'm useless. Your most useful third son is about to be born. You can just count on him." Zhuang Chaoying was used to her scolding him and retorted.
Seeing him like this, Zhuang's mother pulled the pen out of his hand:
"Then go back! There's no point in you staying here. I still have to help with chores, and you're wasting my electricity by writing late into the night."
Zhuang's mother said this in anger, but Zhuang Chaoying seemed to have heard it.
This doesn't seem to be impossible. Zhu Xiuyu said before that as long as Pengfei goes to college, he can move back. At worst, he can still give her 25 yuan a month as before, so that they can communicate more.
He will definitely not get divorced.
