Chapter 138 Be Submissive
The next morning, when Jiang Ruzhen led a refreshed Lu Mingzheng to the front door, the second and fourth brothers gathered around and looked at him curiously.
"Uncle Lu, didn't you say your arm would take three months to heal?"
"Yes, Uncle Lu, aren't you going to be hospitalized for a long time?"
The second child was confused, while the fourth child was asking a question he already knew the answer to.
"This morning the doctor came and told me that the wrong X-ray was taken yesterday, and it was a misdiagnosis. My arm is perfectly fine, so I was discharged from the hospital."
"Huh? You can do that?" the two children asked in unison.
One was praising the doctor's medical ethics, and the other was praising Lu Mingzheng's character.
Jiang Ruzhen just smiled sinisterly at Lu Mingzheng, who was trying to save face. Lu Mingzheng, being very perceptive, started looking for something to do.
"Oh dear, the water tank is empty. I'll go fetch some water."
"The ground is dirty, let me sweep it."
"This TV is all dusty, let me wipe it clean..."
Sensing the unpleasant atmosphere between the two, the two children made excuses and slipped away.
Jiang Ruzhen sat on the sofa, munching on an apple, glancing sideways at Lu Mingzheng, who was constantly working under her.
"Now that everything's alright, hurry home. What are you doing lingering here?"
Lu Mingzheng turned around and said with a grin, "How can I leave when I haven't atoneed for my sins? I'm not an irresponsible man."
Jiang Ruzhen snorted coldly a few times and rolled her eyes at the sky.
What a scoundrel, what are you pretending for?
If she hadn't been worried about his health and gone to the doctor to ask about his condition, she didn't know how long this man would have kept lying to her!
Deeply scheming, full of bad intentions...
All day long, Lu Mingzheng followed Jiang Ruzhen faithfully like a tamed house dog.
As soon as Jiang Ruzhen reached out, he handed her the teacup.
As soon as Jiang Ruzhen stood up, he hurriedly got up to help her.
Even when Jiang Ruzhen was selling clothes, he would repeat her words like an echo.
Everyone around them was trying to suppress their laughter, wanting to see the two of them make a fool of themselves.
Jiang Ruzhen was so angry she wanted to hit someone.
During dinner, Jiang Ruzhen was eating when Lu Mingzheng forcibly took the bowl from her and insisted on feeding her.
The second and fourth brothers laughed so hard their gums were showing, while Jiang Ruzhen was both angry and frustrated, and in a fit of pique, she went back to her room.
A short while later, Lu Mingzheng knocked on the door again.
Jiang Ruzhen angrily flung open the door. "Lu Mingzheng, are you ever going to stop?"
"This isn't over yet!" Lu Mingzheng came in carrying a basin of warm water. "I still have to wash your feet for you!"
Jiang Ruzhen repeatedly declined, but Lu Mingzheng forced her onto the bed, pulled off her socks, and made her wash her feet in a basin of water.
Unlike Jiang Ruzhen's perfunctory attitude, Lu Mingzheng carefully cleaned and massaged Jiang Ruzhen.
As Lu Mingzheng massaged her with just the right amount of pressure, Jiang Ruzhen almost let out a sigh of comfort.
To be honest, this scoundrel may not have any other redeeming qualities, but his massage skills are truly exceptional.
After enjoying the service for more than half an hour, Lu Mingzheng carefully cleaned Jiang Ruzhen's small feet and held them in his hands, reluctant to put them down.
Pearly pink toes, pink nails, round and full like shiny pink pearls.
As Lu Mingzheng watched, he became somewhat distracted.
Jiang Ruzhen was really tired after a long day, so she pulled out her foot and nudged Lu Mingzheng's shoulder.
"You may leave now; I am going to sleep."
Lu Mingzheng didn't hear what Jiang Ruzhen was saying at all; his mind was filled with images unsuitable for children.
"Ah Zhen, do you need to use the restroom?"
"I'm not going." Jiang Ruzhen was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.
"Go ahead, I can carry you there... ah..."
A scream echoed throughout the entire floor. Just as Lu Mingzheng was kicked out of the room by Jiang Ruzhen, the second and fourth brothers arrived at the scene.
"What's wrong, Uncle Lu? Did a mouse bite your butt?"
"Uncle Lu, did you get your head stuck in a door?"
Lu Mingzheng looked at the tightly closed door, shook his head dejectedly, and was about to speak.
The door suddenly opened, and Lu Mingzheng's eyes lit up, thinking that Jiang Ruzhen had forgiven him.
“Ah Zhen…”
Splash—
A basin of foot-washing water was poured over Lu Mingzheng's head, drenching him completely.
"roll!"
Jiang Ruzhen slammed the foot bath basin into Lu Mingzheng's arms, and with a loud bang, the door slammed shut again in front of everyone.
"Pfft—"
The second and fourth brothers couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw Uncle Lu's soaking wet appearance.
Lu Mingzheng chuckled at the two of them, "It's nothing, a beating is a sign of affection. This is her way of showing her love for me!"
"cut--"
The two of them simultaneously pursed their lips, waved, and turned back to their room.
For three days in a row, Lu Mingzheng tried his best to please Jiang Ruzhen, both openly and secretly, but she ignored him.
That day, Jiang Ruzhen passed by the wonton stall again on her way to the library. Perhaps the second son had taught Tian's wife and her husband a lesson behind their backs, because for several days in a row, Tian's wife had set up her stall further away.
They didn't dare to bother Jiang Ruzhen anymore. Jiang Ruzhen thought that the family had learned their lesson and had restrained their intentions.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Tian blocked her way again and pulled out a pretty girl from behind the stall to introduce her.
"Jiang Meizi, look, this is my niece I told you about. Her family name is Huang, and her name is Xiaofang. Xiaofang, this is the capable Aunt Jiang that your aunt told you about. Quickly greet her!"
"Hello, Aunt Jiang!" the girl called out cheerfully, her eyes fixed on Jiang Ruzhen's beautiful clothes.
Jiang Ruzhen frowned and looked the girl in front of her over a few times.
His facial features are indeed quite striking, but his skin is a bit dark, and his eyes dart around constantly, making him look like someone who's not to be trifled with.
She was annoyed and refused outright, saying, "She's not suitable, Aunt Tian. Don't come looking for me again."
"Hey, don't do that! Jiang Meizi, I've already brought her here, at least let her try out for a few days. She has a tough life; she has many siblings, and she has to earn money to support her family!"
Besides, I paid for all the travel expenses this time, several dollars' worth! You can't just kick someone out without even trying! Or you could reimburse me for the travel expenses!
Jiang Ruzhen forcefully shook off Aunt Tian's hand and retorted without any politeness.
"What do I owe you? My family doesn't need any salespeople, and I never agreed to let your niece work."
They're not my relatives, so what does it matter to me whether they need money or not? You sent them yourself, so why should I pay for their travel expenses?
"I think you're really quite ill. Stop setting up your stall and go see a psychiatrist!"
"Hey, how can you talk like that? Why is it so unpleasant to hear? Don't leave, you have to pay for my travel expenses."
"Honey, come quick and help..."
Tian's husband, who was usually quiet and unresponsive, stood in front of Jiang Ruzhen with a rolling pin in his hand.
Jiang Ruzhen sneered repeatedly, showing no fear whatsoever.
"What? Trying to rob me? You try! There's a police station not far ahead. I just need to shout, and none of you will be able to escape."
The couple, Tian and her husband, looked at each other, not expecting Jiang Ruzhen to be such a tough nut to crack. They were at a loss for what to do.
Huang Fang walked over and knelt down before Jiang Ruzhen with a thud, sobbing and pleading.
"Aunt Jiang, please give me a way out! If I don't earn money to support my family, my parents will sell me to pay for my brother's wedding."
Please have pity on me, just think of it as keeping an extra guard dog and give me a bite to eat!
