Walking into the house, Zhu Shulan saw Su Jinyue eating. She was surprised and asked, "You've already eaten? I thought you had no vegetables at home, so I cooked some food and brought it to you." She shook the bamboo basket in her hand. The day before yesterday, when she came to help decorate the new house, she looked at the refrigerator. It was not plugged in. There was no rice or vegetables in the kitchen except for some kitchen utensils. Where did they get all this food? Did someone get there first?
"There were a lot of extra dishes at yesterday's banquet, so we brought some back," Su Jinyue said. She and Yihan had everything in their spaces, with a dedicated area for vegetables, desserts, and snacks.
"Then you can try these dishes. I have already prepared them." Zhu Shulan put the basket on the table and took out the dishes one by one.
"Thank you, Sister Ma." Su Jinyue thanked with a smile.
"Why be so polite? We'll be neighbors from now on. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We should visit each other more often in the future. Besides, you and my daughter Lingling are classmates." Zhu Shulan said with a smile.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "Please sit down, I'll make you a cup of malted milk." In this day and age, malted milk is an excellent gift and a good choice for entertaining guests.
"Don't bother, just eat your meal, we'll sit for a while and then leave." Zhu Shulan said politely.
"It will be ready soon." Su Jinyue turned and walked into the kitchen.
After a while, she brought out two cups of malted milk and a plate of fruit and placed them on the coffee table in the living room. "Please sit down."
Zhu Shulan smiled and nodded, then walked to the sofa with Ma Lingling and sat down, "You go and have dinner." In this kind of three-bedroom, two-living-room house, the dining room and the living room are connected, making it very convenient to talk.
Su Jinyue nodded, walked back to the dining table, and was about to sit down when the gate outside was knocked again.
"I'll go." Zhan Yihan stood up and walked towards the door.
When he opened the gate and saw Jiang Xiaoyue, Zhan Yihan's face suddenly turned cold.
"I'm here to apologize to you. I drank too much last night and lost my composure." Jiang Xiaoyue said awkwardly. She still liked Zhan Yihan very much, but she also knew that it was useless to like him now.
"Captain Zhan, Doctor Jiang regrets what he did last night and has come here specially to apologize to you." Sister-in-law Liu echoed.
"Come in." Zhan Yihan turned and walked into the house. If Jiang Xiaoyue was alone, he would not let her in at all.
Mrs. Liu closed the gate and followed Zhan Yihan with Jiang Xiaoyue.
When they saw that it was Jiang Xiaoyue who came in after Zhan Yihan, the three people who were talking were stunned.
"Jiang Xiaoyue, you're not here to cause trouble again, are you?" Zhu Shulan asked. She and Jiang Xiaoyue were both doctors, and their relationship was generally good. But what Jiang Xiaoyue did yesterday really made her look down on her. She admitted that Zhan Yihan was a great man, but no matter how great he was, he was already someone else's husband. What was the point of causing trouble at someone else's wedding? Could she possibly snatch him back?
Jiang Xiaoyue blushed, and pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly. She looked at Su Jinyue and apologized, "I drank too much last night and lost my composure. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." She only hoped that they would not be unhappy because of her.
"Please sit down." Su Jinyue pointed to the sofa beside her.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, I really didn't know what I was doing yesterday. Can you please forgive me?" Jiang Xiaoyue looked at Su Jinyue pleadingly. After knowing what she had done, she really regretted it so much that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "I don't take it to heart."
"Thank you!" Jiang Xiaoyue showed a grateful smile on her face and looked at Zhan Yihan, "I'm sorry, Captain Zhan! I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Zhan Yihan shook his head and said, "Jinyue, I'm going out for a while." There are only women at home, and it's not convenient for him to stay here.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded, and after watching Zhan Yihan leave, she went into the kitchen and poured two cups of malted milk and a pot of tea. She was not interested in anything too sweet and preferred tea.
Sister Liu took the two cups of malted milk from Su Jinyue's hands and said, "Sister Zhan, I heard you can heal. Can you take a look at Doctor Jiang? Her hand is in so much pain that she can't even lift it." Seeing the pain that Doctor Jiang was feeling as soon as she started working, she felt bad for her. She had heard that Su Jinyue had cured Sister Kong's illness, so she thought she should be able to help Doctor Jiang as well.
"Don't bother. I probably fell down accidentally yesterday. I'll be fine in a few days." Jiang Xiaoyue said with a smile. This was all her own fault. If she hadn't been drunk, this wouldn't have happened.
"Su Jinyue's medical skills are very good. She can definitely cure you." Ma Lingling said from the side. She had absolute confidence in Su Jinyue's medical skills.
Su Jinyue looked at Jiang Xiaoyue's hand, took out a pill and handed it to her, "Take it." Jiang Xiaoyue had attacked her last night, which angered Yihan. She knew her position in Yihan's heart, and he had only crippled Jiang Xiaoyue's hands, which was already a mercy.
Jiang Xiaoyue wanted to reach out to take it, but as soon as she raised her hand, she felt a heart-wrenching pain and cold sweat broke out immediately.
"It hurts so badly?" Zhu Shulan asked in surprise. She had thought Jiang Xiaoyue was just in a little pain, but she hadn't expected her face to turn pale from the pain.
"Let me get it for you." Sister Liu reached out and took the medicine from Su Jinyue's hand and handed it to Jiang Xiaoyue's mouth.
Jiang Xiaoyue opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine. She knew that the medicine would be of no use, but since Su Jinyue had already taken it out, she would feel embarrassed not to take it.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, are you from Beijing?" Zhu Shulan asked. She had heard that Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan were from the same place, and it wasn't true.
"I'm from Licheng." Su Jinyue said with a smile.
"How did you and Captain Zhan know each other?" Jiang Xiaoyue was a little curious about this. She really wanted to know whether Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue knew each other personally or were introduced by their families.
"We are from the same village and grew up together." Su Jinyue picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"So you two are childhood sweethearts?" Ma Lingling asked enviously. She also had a childhood sweetheart, but she hadn't seen him for over a year since she came to Beijing to study. She didn't know how he was doing now.
Jiang Xiaoyue sighed inwardly. No wonder Zhan Yihan had never even glanced at her; it turned out he already had someone in his heart.
"Su Jinyue, where did you learn your medical skills?" Zhu Shulan was very curious. Su Jinyue and Lingling were both sophomores, and Lingling had told her that Su Jinyue went to school less than a third of the time during the semester. Could it be that Su Jinyue was self-taught?
Jiang Xiaoyue also looked at Su Jinyue, waiting for her answer. She was also very curious about this.
