When Hou Diankui handed Jiang Qiao the three books, Jiang Qiao was stunned and excitedly hugged them to her chest.
"Old Hou, are you really giving this to me?"
Hou Diankui smiled and nodded. "I have no use for this thing. I just got it by chance. Rather than letting it infest with bugs, I'd rather give it to someone who likes it. At least you can make good use of what's inside and benefit people. Don't you think so?"
Jiang Qiao nodded excitedly, "That's great, Master Hou, I want to thank you!"
After saying that, she bowed deeply to the old man, then hugged the book with a happy expression. Chunming, standing to the side, didn't forget to remind her, "Qiao'er, give my master the injection first."
Jiang Qiao then remembered and quickly helped the old man lie down. She would administer acupuncture first, and after the acupuncture was finished, she would take Chunming back to get the medicine.
She never dreamed that going out with Chunming would yield such a great result.
After finishing the first book, Jiang Qiao felt like she had found a treasure. She quickly browsed through the other two books, and her excitement lingered for a long time.
Besides being rare medical books, these three books also offer a unique perspective and detailed explanation of acupuncture and disease treatment, opening up a whole new world for Jiang.
Well, these three books are based on traditional Chinese medicine and incorporate internal energy cultivation techniques. She doesn't even need to test them; just by looking at the descriptions, she can imagine how effective they would be if they were actually applied to patients.
She glanced at the medical book but couldn't find the author's name. However, she had a gut feeling that the author must be a highly skilled practitioner, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a master.
Upon seeing the internal energy cultivation method inside, Jiang Qiao couldn't resist. Following the instructions in the book, she sat cross-legged and meditated, recalling the contents of the book in her mind and proceeding step by step.
Fortunately, she had a foundation. Although she wasn't practicing internal martial arts, at least she wasn't unfamiliar with it and wouldn't be like a blind man trying to describe an elephant, unable to find the way.
While Jiang Qiao was practicing her inner cultivation technique at home, Ning Hao was also lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He had too many worries on his mind, and he didn't know who to confide in, so he could only keep them silently in his heart. Fortunately, he went out for a trip this time, otherwise, there would be many things he would not know at all.
In addition, he was also thinking about what he had said to Jiang Qiao today. He was genuinely worried that the little girl had taken his words as a joke.
He wasn't joking; he was very serious. You couldn't call him a wolf for targeting someone so young, but his feelings for Jiang Qiao were very different. It wasn't the feeling he had for a friend. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable with Jiang Qiao; it felt like home. He could even imagine what it would feel like to have such a little wife if they were to get married in the future. He really wanted to experience that feeling, and he wanted that kind of happiness.
He just couldn't figure Jiang Qiao out. Although she was clear about her grudges and gratitude, she seemed to treat her friends the same way. She seemed warm-hearted, but she didn't open up to people. She was always on guard. He didn't know if this was because of Wang Dahua, or if she was just like that by nature.
On second thought, a child is born like a blank sheet of paper, and if he has become like this, it must be due to his environment.
While feeling sorry for Jiang Qiao, he was also worried about when this little girl would let her guard down around him.
Ning Hao was worrying about his marriage in one room, while the old couple were sighing in another room.
"Ever since my grandson came back, he hasn't seemed very happy. I wonder what he's been up to these past few days? If I had known this would happen, I should have read the letter my daughter-in-law left behind."
Ning Zhengtao snorted, "Are you that kind of person or am I? If we are, do you think Haozi's mother would put this thing in our hands?"
Don't overthink it. Our grandson is our grandson. It's normal for the child to be unhappy. Anyone would feel good seeing their own mother's belongings and suicide note.
As elderly people, since we can't control our children, we should treat our grandchildren well. I've come to understand that those other grandchildren, no matter how many are my grandsons and great-grandsons, are not as good as our eldest grandson.
Zhu Lin sighed, "I knew our grandson was good. If Haozi hadn't come back, do you think our good son-in-law would have kept quiet? I don't know what Haozi was thinking. Sigh, I'm just worried that once our grandson goes to school, this brat will start causing trouble again."
The old man knew what was going on. "No, my grandson said he wouldn't come over again, so he definitely can't. When have you ever seen Haozi go back on his word?"
Let's just live our lives peacefully. As for our children, I think they are all our debts. We can't count on them. They're not even as good as someone like Jiang Qiao.
It's a pity the child is too young. If possible, I think we old folks would be so lucky to have a granddaughter-in-law like her.
The old lady rolled her eyes at her husband. "You're always thinking too much. Jiang Qiao is so young. That girl is good at studying and will have a bright future. I'm just worried that she won't be interested in our grandson."
How could the old lady be completely oblivious? Don't underestimate Qiao Jie and Jiang Qiao just because they're old and young; their circumstances are no worse than theirs.
Even though Ning Hao got into military school, with that muddle-headed father and that troublemaking stepmother, his grandson's marriage prospects are going to be tough.
She was so worried. Why was her grandson so unlucky? He had no parents to love him, and he still had to take care of the old couple and manage the household affairs. Just thinking about it made the old lady's heart ache.
The old man wasn't so pessimistic. "Why are you sighing? You've squandered all your good fortune. We don't need to interfere too much in our grandson's affairs. He's all grown up now; he knows what he's doing."
Zhu Lin gave a bitter smile. "I'm so glad I gave all my things to my grandson back then. Do you know what my second son's wife said to me during the New Year? That damned woman actually asked me for calligraphy and paintings, saying that her son's boss's friend liked them and she didn't want to use her connections with the boss to get a better job."
"What utter nonsense! Those two are so cunning; I can see right through them. They're after what we have. Luckily, they didn't see what their daughter-in-law left behind, or they'd probably cause a scene."
The old man snorted, "Even if we had them, we wouldn't give them to them. They're two ingrates. We never see them when we need something, but they're always here when we don't."
Although that was their son, the old couple were still disappointed. When the old lady was locked up, the boy didn't seem worried at all. When his father had nowhere to eat, the couple didn't even offer to cook him a meal, let alone bring him food. Now that's how it is, what will they do when they're old and can't move around anymore?
