Gu Zhengfeng immediately made the decision and went to the next room to discuss it with the old men. Although Gu Hanting still had some hesitation, he felt sorry for his wife when he saw how tired she was. She was their only daughter-in-law, and he didn't want her to collapse from exhaustion. Otherwise, their Gu family would really become a bunch of monks.
"Okay, give us some wages, and maybe some tickets or something, we won't lose out."
Although the daughter-in-law no longer earns a salary, the granddaughter still does. Originally, Gu Zhengfeng and the others didn't want her, but Song Shutian said that Jiang Qiao's injury could be considered a work-related injury.
Compared to the role Jiang Qiao played in this operation, these are immeasurable; let them take them with peace of mind.
Having settled things with Gu Zhengfeng and his wife, Zhou Yu and his wife were quite happy. They told everyone they would come over first thing tomorrow morning to help take care of the people, and then Hou Diankui led his people away first.
Qiao Jie sighed, "That old Hou, he's so secretive all the time. When I ask him when my granddaughter will get better, he won't tell me the truth."
Ma Liu hummed twice from the side, "I guess he doesn't know either. We can only wait. Our Qiao'er is so lucky and blessed. Big brother, don't worry."
Haozi, are you eating here or going back?
Ning Hao waved his hand and said, "I just got off the bus and came over. I need to go back and rest. Grandpas, uncles, aunts, I'll come see you again tomorrow. I'll be going now."
When Chunming got off work, he came over to see Jiang Qiao for a moment before going home for dinner.
Seeing her son's hesitant expression, Song Lianfeng glared at him.
"Speak your mind, get to the point. Who taught you to be so hesitant and stammering?"
Chunming put down his chopsticks, glanced at his parents, and asked with a fawning smile, "Mom, do you think Ning Hao came back this time because of Jiang Qiao's illness?"
Song Lianfeng glared at him and said, "Isn't that obvious? Jiang Qiao is in such a serious situation, it's unreasonable for him not to come back and see her. He was so exhausted from treating her illness that he was unconscious for more than half a month. It's not right for him to come back and see her."
Du Chengsong glanced at his hot-tempered wife and sighed, "You, you, can't you see through your son's little schemes?"
Song Lianfeng was a little confused. She blinked, then suddenly realized what her son meant.
Her face immediately darkened. "Chunming, let me tell you the truth, you and Jiang Qiao are not suitable for each other. You weren't suitable before, and you're not suitable now."
Seeing that her son was about to object, Song Lianfeng waved her hand and said, "Let me finish. I do like Jiang Qiao, and you two are childhood sweethearts. But some things can't be counted that way."
Before, she lived with Wang Dahua, so there was still a possibility between you two. But then Ning Hao came along. Didn't you see how close that kid was to Jiang Qiao?
Besides, Jiang Qiao's parents aren't ordinary people. Tell me, your father and I are just ordinary people. How could someone like us possibly be worthy of someone like them?"
Chunming muttered, "It didn't work before, but now the opportunity has come, hasn't it?"
Du Chengsong snorted, "What opportunity? You're taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Putting aside the fact that Ning Hao already had feelings for Jiang Qiao, we can't interfere. Even if Ning Hao changes his mind, you and Jiang Qiao still have no chance."
Putting aside your mother's side, let's talk about Jiang Qiao's parents. With their child in such a state, do you think those parents would just marry their daughter off so carelessly?
Look at the kind of people they are! People would be too happy to do something so foolish.
Song Lianfeng added from the side, "Mom likes that girl, but now that she's like this, I really don't want my son to be burdened for the rest of his life."
What if she never wakes up? What are you planning to do, just stay here and watch over a living dead person?
Chunming glanced at Song Lianfeng with dissatisfaction. "Mom, it's not as scary as you say. My master said that Jiang Qiao has a chance to wake up, it's just not the right time yet."
Song Lianfeng glared at her son and said, "Come on, it's not time yet."
If it takes her thirty or fifty years to wake up, how old will you be?
There's a reason you're studying this stuff. If you really end up with Jiang Qiao, are you planning to make your mother die with regrets?
Chunming frowned and muttered, "Mom, it's not as weird as you say."
"I never had a chance before; Ning Hao was better than me in every way. This time, I finally had a chance to compete with him, so why are you holding me back? Besides, does it really have to take this long?"
Song Lianfeng asked seriously, "Did your master say when she would wake up?"
Chunming shook his head honestly, "I didn't say that, but my master did say that Jiang Qiao can get better."
Song Lianfeng glared at her son and said, "Even your master isn't sure, so you have to say that."
"If we really have to wait forty or fifty years, tell me, you'll be an old man by then. Who will take care of you when you're old?"
I strongly disagree with this. You can take care of Jiang Qiao, but forget about him getting married. Unless we, the two of us old folks, are both dead, you're forcing your mother to her death. You'd better think about what to do.”
For the first time, Song Lianfeng spoke such harsh words to her son. To be honest, Chunming had been sensible and caring since he was a child, and of course, she favored this youngest son.
However, as much as one may favor one's son, marriage is no child's play; it concerns the son's happiness for the rest of his life.
Marrying a wife who is unable to move and needs to be taken care of has truly ruined my son's life.
Chunming got off the kang (a heated brick bed) reluctantly and went back to his room to sulk.
Du Chengsong sighed, "You, you, if you have something nice to say, why can't you talk to your son properly? He's been sensible since he was little and has never made any excessive demands. This is the first time he's mentioned Jiang Qiao."
In the past, the child understood things on his own, so he didn't want to put us in a difficult position. Sigh—
Song Lianfeng sighed softly, "Who do you think I'm doing this for? I'm doing it for the child's own good. The girl is so good-looking, and I also hope to marry a daughter-in-law like her. But now that things are like this, I can't let my son jump into a fire pit."
If that child is truly blessed and one day she really wakes up, do you think she will definitely fall in love with our Chunming?
Rather than creating a miserable couple, it's better to nip this idea in the bud. As the mother, I'll play the bad guy.
Besides, I haven't heard of any other ideas from Ning Hao's side. What if the other child insists on spending time with Jiang Qiao? How do you expect him to feel if Chunming brings this up at this time?
"Alright, that's enough. Go and talk to the child."
Ning Zhengtao, who shared the same idea as Song Lianfeng, was also talking to his eldest grandson at the dinner table, trying to persuade the child to give up the idea.
"Grandpa, please don't say anymore. I really want to marry Jiang Qiao, but her parents won't agree."
However, I'll say it again: as long as Jiang Qiao is alive, I'll wait until she wakes up. Don't try to persuade me otherwise; it's useless. You all know what kind of person I am after all these years.”
