Jiang Jingzhi watched her mother-in-law leaving, her eyes filled with despair.

Jiang Jingzhi moved his cracked lips slightly but did not touch the rice crackers on the table.

The nurse came in with medicine and looked at Jiang Jingzhi lying there with a blank look in her eyes. She felt a little sympathetic. If you are a woman, you will know how desperate it is to not be able to have children in this life.

"Jiang Jingzhi, are you feeling unwell?" the nurse asked as she walked to the bedside. She frowned as she looked at the two cookie biscuits on the bedside table.

"Where are your family members? What's wrong with this cake? You just had surgery and your body is lacking in nutrition. It's not okay for you to eat this cake."

The nurse took out a thermometer and put it on Jiang Jingzhi, then looked at the woman who remained silent.

I couldn't help but stand there and sigh, "This medicine is prescribed by the doctor. You can take it after dinner."

As he said this, he placed the medicine on the table and pushed the hot bottle next to it inward.

He found that there was no hot water in the thermos. "You..." He was about to say something, but then he closed his mouth, turned around and went to the bathroom with the thermos.

He came back and took out an enamel cup, poured water into it and put it aside. "You can't do this. Your body belongs to you. Even if you are in a bad mood, you must be strong."

Seeing Jiang Jingzhi indifferent, the nurse felt helpless and didn't know what to say. She took out the thermometer to check Jiang Jingzhi's temperature, disinfected the wound, and then carried the tray out.

The sky gradually darkened and Jiang Jingzhi's ward was silent. With a "click", the light was turned on.

The nurse who had just left came in with two lunch boxes. "The canteen is closed. I made this at home. It's not a particularly good meal. Please eat some."

As he said this, he placed the lunch box on the bedside table and helped Jiang Jingzhi sit up.

The slightly old lunch box was opened, and the hot food gave off a fragrant aroma. The food was shiny and it was obvious that a little more oil was added on purpose.

"Eat something. They wouldn't care if you died now, but if you live well, maybe they will live in more pain."

Zheng Hongxia spoke softly, but fed the rice into Jiang Jingzhi's mouth.

The aroma of food filled Jiang Jingzhi's nose, "Pah...Pah..."

Drops of tears fell into the food near his mouth, and Jiang Jingzhi opened his mouth and swallowed the food.

"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in. To put it bluntly, your illness is caused by holding it in. Be happy and healthy. Don't take anything to heart, no matter how big the problem is."

Zheng Hongxia has seen a lot in the hospital, all kinds of families and all kinds of people, and she has seen all kinds of life.

I felt relieved when I saw Jiang Jingzhi eating the meal I made.

"Take good care of yourself. I will bring you food tomorrow morning. Take good care of yourself. We'll talk about the future later." Zheng Hongxia said softly.

Jiang Jingzhi looked at the older nurse in front of her, who was older than her, and couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

She served her parents-in-law and looked after her brother-in-law, worked diligently in the Xu family like a slave, but in the end it was an unfamiliar outsider who took care of her attentively.

"Sister, you are a good person. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Jiang Jingzhi said in a hoarse voice that he really didn't have the ability to repay her now, and he didn't even have any money.

"What's the point of talking about repaying or not? We are all women. It's not a big deal to lend a hand when times are difficult." Zheng Hongxia was very happy that Jiang Jingzhi had cheered up.

When she came to check on him in the afternoon, she could see that Jiang Jingzhi had no hope of survival.

A week later, Jiang Jingzhi was taken home by Xu Xiaorong.

Jiang Jingzhi lay on the bed, looking at a piece of rice cake in the bowl beside her.

My mood hit rock bottom again. I now felt like a burden and a discarded child to the Xu family.

When Xu Xiaorong came back, he no longer had the enthusiasm of the past and even spoke less.

As Xu Xiaorong was not at home, Jiang Jingzhi could only hear her mother-in-law's indirect criticism.

A hen that doesn't lay eggs, a useless chicken, occupying the toilet without taking a shit... these vicious words filled the small room.

After get off work, before Lin Weiwan even entered the family compound, she saw Mrs. Xu smiling and pulling Qu Sulan to fill out information in the guard booth.

"This is my distant niece. I am not in good health, so she came to help me with housework."

While talking to the guard, Old Lady Xu pulled Qu Sulan into the family compound.

Lin Weiwan was a little puzzled. She had never heard Qu Sulan say that she had relatives living in the courtyard.

After returning home, Lin Weiwan washed up, took out some food and ate it. He also boiled some water in the backyard and threw out the clothes he had taken off.

Afraid of arousing suspicion if he didn't light the fire, Lin Weiwan would light a fire every day to boil some water for bathing, washing clothes and taking care of them.

After eating and drinking, he locked the door, watered the vegetables in the yard, and picked a watermelon to eat in the yard.

At Xu's house, Xu Xiaorong smelled the aroma of food as soon as he entered the house. He was stunned when he saw a strange woman carrying the food out of the kitchen. He realized that he had not entered the wrong house.

"Xiaorong is back, why don't you come in quickly? What are you standing there for?"

Old Mrs. Xu quickly called her son into the house.

“Mom, this is…” Xu Xiaorong looked at the healthy and sunny girl in front of him.

"I fell down while shopping two days ago, and it was this girl who helped me up. Today I specially invited her to have dinner with me to thank you.

I didn’t expect Sulan to be so kind and considerate. She was afraid that an old woman like me would be too tired, so she cooked this whole meal herself.”

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Qu Sulan, who was wearing a blue blouse. She was fair, pretty, with a round face and a big butt. She looked fertile and hardworking. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

Qu Sulan looked at Xu Xiaorong in military uniform and smiled shyly, "Hello, Comrade Xu, I am Qu Sulan."

"Come and sit down, the food will get cold soon." Old Mrs. Xu quickly pulled the two of them to sit down.

Xu Xiaorong looked at Qu Sulan who was sitting opposite him and nodded slightly.

Mrs. Xu glanced at him with her narrow eyes and immediately smiled.

"Come, come, eat." Old Mrs. Xu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a big egg for Qu Sulan.

"Lan girl, thank you so much for your help last time, otherwise I would be guilty. You are such a kind-hearted girl."

Qu Sulan smiled and said, "Anyone who sees this will help. I feel embarrassed for you to say that, Auntie."

Xu Xiaorong picked up a piece of meat for his mother, and the two pairs of chopsticks holding the meat were put into Mrs. Xu's bowl at the same time, which was so conspicuous.

Qu Sulan quickly took back her chopsticks and lowered her head slightly, somewhat shyly.

Xu Xiaorong couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, but he didn't realize it.

I just took two bites of rice when I realized something was wrong. "Mom, where's Jingzhi?"

Mrs. Xu raised her head sharply and said, "Oh, look at my poor memory. You guys eat. I've saved some food for Jingzhi and will send it to her now."

Having said that, he stood up and went into the kitchen. When he came out, he was holding two large bowls in his hands and went into the inner room and closed the door.

Qu Sulan looked at Xu Xiaorong, "Who is Jingzhi? Is she your sister? Why can't she come out?"
