Upon hearing what Jiang Yue and her other sisters-in-law said, Zhang Yu burst into tears.
"Oh God... what am I going to do? I might as well just die..."
As Jiang Yue watched Zhang Yu's crying, tantrums, and threats of suicide, her gaze grew increasingly cold.
"Sister Zhang, you can't do something foolish..."
"Your sister-in-law will stand up for you."
Huang Ru's anger flared up instantly. No one had ever dared to disrespect her before. Now that Jiang Yue had rejected her so directly, where would she put her face?
If this matter isn't handled well, what will other people think of her?
"Comrade Jiang, this matter did indeed originate from you. Take Zhang Yu to the hospital and see what the doctor says, then resolve the issue. The men are on the front lines protecting our country; we can't hold them back. We must maintain unity..."
Hearing Huang Ru's words, Zhang Yu was incredibly grateful and even more smug. This was the regimental commander's wife; even she was speaking up for her. Jiang Yue would definitely have to compensate her now.
Hearing Huang Ru's words, Jiang Yue's expression turned even colder.
She hadn't expected Huang Ru to take sides like this.
If she disagrees with such a grand gesture, it would be seen as a lack of unity and friendship, and she would be holding Lu Yu back...
Although she wanted to change the way her sisters-in-law viewed her, she was not someone who was willing to be wronged.
"I disagree with what you're saying, sister-in-law. I invited you all to dinner to foster camaraderie. Besides, I happen to know a little about medicine; Sister-in-law Zhang's condition is caused by internal heat. Drinking some Coptis chinensis infused water should do the trick..."
Does Jiang Yue know medicine?
Huang Ru was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.
Wasn't Jiang Yue supposed to be a capitalist's daughter? Doctors are highly respected these days.
Zhang Yu was even more incredulous. Although she didn't know what Coptis chinensis was, how could Jiang Yue possibly possess medical skills?
"If Sister Zhang is willing, I can send her some Coptis chinensis to drink. If not, then forget it."
It's absolutely impossible for her to pay Zhang Yu compensation!
Coptis chinensis?
Several women who had heard of Coptis chinensis and even drunk Coptis chinensis water shuddered at the thought of its taste.
However, they had heard that Coptis chinensis does indeed have the effects of clearing heat and drying dampness, purging fire and detoxifying. Moreover, Coptis chinensis is not cheap; a small piece costs several cents, and a small packet costs one or two dollars.
Huang Ru wanted to say something more, but after hearing Jiang Yue suggest sending Coptis chinensis (a traditional Chinese medicine), she thought for a moment and decided to agree. Otherwise, if Jiang Yue refused to contribute anything, the matter would be even more difficult to handle.
"Zhang Yu, do you agree?"
Zhang Yu overheard her sister-in-law saying that Coptis chinensis was very expensive, but it was indeed a good thing for reducing internal heat and detoxifying. She immediately thought of the legendary ginseng, wondering if this stuff might be the same as ginseng.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I agree."
Zhang Yu felt that getting something worth a few dollars was acceptable. Otherwise, getting nothing would be incredibly embarrassing. Besides, Commander Xiao's sister-in-law looked rather unpleasant, and she couldn't afford to offend her...
Hearing Zhang Yu agree, Huang Ru's expression softened considerably.
"Since that's the case, it's settled then. Everyone must stay united and friendly from now on... don't cause any trouble or create problems. If things get out of control, it will harm yourself and others... and affect your men's work. Then it will be too late to regret it..."
As she said this, Huang Ru glanced at Jiang Yue.
