Liu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh. "Your wife is really not someone to be trusted. Tell me, what's going on with this child? Why are bad people targeting your wife?"
If Lao Song hadn't told me about these things, I really wouldn't have known that your marriage could be so rigged.
"Sigh, I understand how you feel, I know you've had a tough time. But this time, could you invite your wife to come along?"
Ning Hao looked surprised. "What do you mean, Director? What's this? We're allowed to bring family members?"
In front of Ning Hao, Liu Qingshan stopped hiding anything. They were both sensible people; if they didn't tell the kid the truth, Ning Hao probably wouldn't agree to bring his wife over.
"I didn't finish what I said earlier. It's not just one or two wolves; it's a wolf plague. Apparently, it's a whole pack. I don't know what happened, but the wolves suddenly came down from the mountain. I don't know if it's related to the heavy snowfall."
I heard that your wife is skilled in both hunting and medicine. Let Jiang Qiao go with her, whether she can be of any use or not, just consider it taking your little wife for a stroll. What do you think?
To be honest, I'm a little unsure. There used to be hunters in Nanshan Village, but unfortunately, they don't hunt much anymore these days. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to us for help.
You know, the people in our office, while they're somewhat skilled, are only slightly better than the average person. If we're talking about outstanding individuals, you're the only one. But one person can't handle everything. If we take someone out and they get hurt or something happens, I'll feel terrible. Sending your wife over there provides an extra layer of protection—”
What could Ning Hao say? He couldn't bring himself to refuse, at least not his wife, who hadn't been ordered to go up and fight the wolves.
"I can't make that decision myself. I'll go back and discuss it with my wife. She still has to take care of the pregnant woman these next few days, and you know about that pregnant woman's situation—"
The director nodded. "I know about this. It's just for two days. Doesn't that woman have other people taking care of her?"
So, Ning Hao was returning home on a mission. Jiang Qiao had already prepared the meal and was just waiting for her man to come home.
Seeing Ning Hao's conflicted expression, she asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is someone making things difficult for you outside? Or is someone causing you trouble?"
Ning Hao sighed and repeated what his boss had told him.
"Qiao'er, what do you think we should do about this? Are you going or not?"
Jiang Qiao wasn't particularly interested in going hunting, especially as a group. However, since it was Ning Hao's superior who had made the suggestion, she couldn't refuse out of respect.
However, he still expressed his doubts: "You said Liu Qingshan seems like a very sensible person, so why would he suddenly suggest that I go with him?"
"Putting aside the fact that we just got married, it's not convenient for me, a woman, to go there alone. And before anything even happens, they've already got a doctor on standby. To put it nicely, it's being prepared; to put it bluntly, isn't this just setting the stage for something bad to happen to everyone?"
Ning Hao also felt that Jiang Qiao was right. "When he told me about this, I was quite hesitant. I also felt that this was quite unusual. Usually, Liu Qingshan seems to be a cunning person, so why would he ask you to come over at this time?"
Besides, this isn't a good thing. After all, it's really inconvenient for a woman to go wolf hunting alone. I have a feeling he has other motives behind this. What do you think we should do?
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "What can we do? He is, after all, your leader. Besides, even if he has other intentions, we don't know whether they are well-intentioned or malicious. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I don't think he's an enemy agent. It's not right for him to act so blatantly."
Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. We can't figure it out, we don't know this person very well. We'll find out when we go tomorrow. Let's eat first—"
Looking at the steaming hot food being served on the table, Ning Hao had a satisfied look on his face. "Home is the best. As soon as I come back, there's good food to eat, and such a beautiful wife to serve me. How wonderful."
Today, those young people were even saying with envy, "What a pity, the Gu family only has one daughter like you, and you're going to be my wife. Let them be envious."
Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes at Ning Hao. "Judging from your expression, you're probably making people green with envy. Comrade, we should be humble and cautious. Your wife isn't as good as you think. Later, when you find out that I'm greedy and lazy, don't regret it."
Ning Hao looked at Jiang Qiao with doting eyes and said, "I'm happy to. Even if you don't do any work, I'll still support you. You're my wife. If I don't support you, who will I support?"
"Hurry up and eat. You must be hungry. From now on, don't wait for me when you're hungry. Eat first yourself. Remember to eat well at home; you need to nourish your body."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't mistreat myself."
Ning Hao didn't care what they ate at home or how they ate it. He handed over his salary anyway, and Jiang Qiao was responsible for making everything else. In any case, what mattered most was what ended up in their stomachs.
Jiang Qiao said while drinking soup, "I sent a plate of big bones to Grandma and Grandpa tonight. You don't need to worry about the old couple. It's not that I don't want to invite them over to eat together, but everyone has their own lifestyle. It's not appropriate to force them to eat together. Anyway, we live close by and I can take care of them anytime."
Ning Hao smiled and said, "Okay, it's no big deal. My grandparents are doing well for now. We'll take care of them. There shouldn't be any major problems. Just check their pulses occasionally to make sure they don't have any health issues."
Besides, sometimes I just don't understand my grandfather. He used to be a good person, but I don't know why he's become so eccentric as he's gotten older. If he says something you don't like, just walk away; we can simply ignore him.
My grandma is a nice person, quite a lovely old lady—”
Jiang Qiao swallowed the food in his mouth. "That's true. Your grandma is quite reasonable. However, your grandpa, sometimes, really can't compare to my Grandpa Qiao. How should I put it? He needs someone to keep him in check."
Unfortunately, my identity isn't quite right. Maybe I should ask my Grandpa Qiao to come back and have him talk to your grandfather.
By the way, wasn't it said that your uncle would take care of him in his old age? Why aren't they planning to bring him to live with them and take care of him now that he's so advanced in years?
Ning Hao gave a wry smile, then sighed, "Let's just listen to these words and not take them seriously. My uncle is afraid of his wife, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future. If he can't handle it, then it'll be my grandson who has to take over. In the future, I guess we can't avoid this matter."
Jiang Qiao nodded and didn't say anything more. After dinner, Ning Hao went to wash the dishes, while Jiang Qiao packed some medicine from inside the house.
"Here, take this with you tomorrow. But it's not a cure-all; it's just a sleeping potion, just in case. Remember, it works best upwind..."
