"Sister, you really wronged him this time."
"What do you mean?" Li Qin was still not quite convinced.
"Jiang Li went to the hospital yesterday to apologize to us..."
Ding Qiunan recounted yesterday's events to Li Qin, and then mentioned Jiang Cheng's suicide attempt.
“After leaving her house last night, I was the one who asked Li Chu to lend the house to Jiang Li, but he said he didn’t care and told me to come and discuss it with you, sister.”
"Really?" Li Qin was still a little skeptical.
"Really, sister, Jiang Li's health isn't very good. She developed health problems after giving birth, and she's very weak now. She's taking care of the child alone."
You didn't see it, but you can count the ribs on Jiang Li's body just by looking at them, you don't even need to touch them. And the child, so thin, a six-year-old, doesn't even weigh as much as Wen Hui when I hold her."
After listening to her sister-in-law's words, Li Qin remained silent for a while: "Qiu Nan, aren't you worried that Jiang Li will stick to Xiao Chu again?"
Ding Qiunan washed the vegetables in the sink, brought them out, and turned to Li Qin with a sweet smile: "Sister, I'm really not worried. I believe Li Chu knows what he's doing, and we've been married for four years. I know he's not the type to have affairs."
"You know him well, but you can't be sure that other people won't take the initiative to get close to him."
"Sister, do you know that Li Chu almost never spends time alone with other women? Back when the hospital assigned a nurse to his clinic, he insisted that she had to be married. Now he doesn't want any of them anymore."
Li Qin smiled. She liked Ding Qiunan just the way she was; no matter who she was talking to, she always spoke well of her man.
You won't hear a single word from her that expresses dissatisfaction with her man.
"Qiu Nan, you need to think this through. You can't just lend your house to someone today and then let them move out tomorrow."
"No, sis. Actually, I talked to Jiang Li yesterday, and I think she's a pretty good person. We can be friends."
Li Qin started preparing the stir-fry. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Qiu Nan, we are both women. I am now a member of the Wang family, and you are the wife of the Li family."
Ding Qiunan was slightly taken aback by her sister's words: "Sister, what do you mean by that?"
"What you're saying is that you're now in charge of the Li family, that room belongs to the Li family, and has nothing to do with me, their married daughter. You have the right to dispose of it."
"Sister, you can't say that..."
Ding Qiunan had just said one sentence when Li Qin interrupted her: "I know what you want to say, and I don't mean anything else."
You really have the authority to manage that room. From now on, I'll be the head of the Wang family's household.
"Oh, Xiao Chu and Qiu Nan are here." Wang Ziwen's voice came from outside the gate.
When he returned, the meal was almost ready. Li Chu helped carry the food to the living room, and the two families ate their meal chatting and laughing.
"Brother-in-law, how's the donation going?"
"The preliminary plan is for next week. Uncle Wang's point is that such matters should be handled sooner rather than later."
"Has Uncle Wang finalized things with those merchants?"
Wang Ziwen nodded: "It's all confirmed. The list you brought over is also fine."
“Ziwen, Xiaochu, I’ve thought about it, and I won’t get involved in this matter. Ziwen, please tell Uncle Wang that I’m doing fine in the neighborhood office, and I don’t need any political achievements or anything like that. Our family’s situation is already quite good enough, and as a woman, there’s no need for me to strive for more.” Li Qin suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Wang Ziwen thought for a moment, then turned to Li Chu and asked, "Xiao Chu, what do you think?"
"Sister, brother-in-law, this is a free benefit, you can do whatever you want with it."
"Hurry up and eat, I'm starving!"
After saying that, he slurped up his noodles.
Li Qin rolled her eyes at her younger brother helplessly.
Ding Qiunan stretched out her leg and kicked Li Chu under the table.
"Hiss!" Li Chu almost spat out the noodles in his mouth.
"Alright, we're all family, there's no need for this. Besides, what Xiao Chu said isn't wrong. It's fine if Xiao Qin doesn't take the lead. I've also looked at the properties on the list. They're all over the place. It's not appropriate for the street office to take over. It's just right for the district government to take over and then distribute them according to their jurisdiction."
Wang Ziwen noticed Ding Qiunan's little gesture and said with a smile.
After dinner, Li Chu and Wang Ziwen sat in the living room chatting. He told his brother-in-law about Jiang Cheng's death.
"So, this matter ends here?"
"I guess so. From what Uncle Liu said, the task force has already gone south, and I estimate they'll be able to find out quite a bit this time."
"These people are absolutely heartless! They'll take anything for free. Aren't they afraid they won't be able to sleep at night?"
"Tch," Li Chu sneered, "If they were afraid, so many things wouldn't have happened."
Uncle Liu said, "The higher-ups have given instructions. I think the task force won't come back until they've thoroughly ripped those people off."
“They brought it on themselves.” Wang Ziwen has always believed that as a cadre, a leader, or an individual, one must have a bottom line.
"Let's not talk about them anymore, Xiao Chu. People have come to my door asking about you. What, are you now specializing in treating pregnant women's bodies?"
"Pfft, cough cough..." Li Chu had just picked up his cup and taken a sip of water when he actually spat it out.
"Brother-in-law, who told you all this?"
"What happened? How come you choked on your water?" Li Qin and Ding Qiunan had just finished cleaning up and came out of the kitchen when they saw this scene.
Ding Qiunan then turned around and went to the bathroom to get a mop.
“My brother-in-law said that I have changed careers and now specialize in conditioning the bodies of pregnant women.”
"Hey, I didn't say that, I heard it from someone else," Wang Ziwen hurriedly waved her hand and said.
"You too, don't you know what Xiao Chu is doing now?"
"They came to me specifically to ask about Xiao Chu, hoping he could help their daughter-in-law with her health. But he refused to see them for two days in a row."
"Oh, brother-in-law, I've been busy these past few days, so I haven't been able to open my clinic. Who's looking for you?"
"It's Director Ma from the government office."
Li Chu turned to look at Wang Ziwen: "How about this, brother-in-law, have him come directly to the first consultation room of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department tomorrow. He doesn't need to make an appointment."
He could tell that his brother-in-law wanted him to take a look; otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up in the first place.
"Okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow."
"Xiao Chu, Qiu Nan just told me about wanting to lend the house to Jiang Li. What are your thoughts on that?" Li Qin asked directly after they finished talking.
baimengshu.
Ding Qiunan, who had just mopped up the water stains on the floor, also stopped on her way to the bathroom and looked back.
