What could Jiang Qiao say? She really couldn't comment on Wang Dahua. She had never realized before that the old lady was so wise, but unfortunately, she hadn't used her wisdom in the right way.
Song Lianfeng summed it up with the comment, "Your grandma's house is practically a stage for a grand opera now, making a ruckus all day long."
Ning Hao casually asked, "You know, this house isn't big enough. What if Jiang Ping and the others don't leave?"
Song Lianfeng chuckled twice. "They've already thought of that. Wang Dahua said that Jiang Ping can stay if he wants, but he has to lend a hand and take care of them. Building a few more rooms in the yard wouldn't be a problem. Come to think of it, it really isn't a big deal."
Previously, the Jiang family felt the house was sufficient for the time being and didn't want to waste the money. Now that someone is vying for the house, they've shown some wisdom.
Jiang Qiao didn't want to say anything more, only sighing, "Now that things have gotten this bad, if we live together again, we'll just have to wait for the fights. My goodness, I don't even want to talk about it anymore. Those blisters on her feet were all self-inflicted. She thought she was being so thoughtful, sigh—"
Ning Hao snorted twice. "This is the only solution Wang Dahua could come up with. Forget it, let's each live our own lives. She has a son and a daughter, so it's none of our business to interfere."
As they were talking, Zhu Lin also came over. Her grandson had come looking for Jiang Qiao, but she didn't think much of it. Both children were sensible. Besides, her grandson was still poisoned and hadn't come back, so it was most likely that Jiang Qiao had gone to treat Ning Hao.
But she was also afraid. People's opinions could be terrible. Two children, a boy and a girl, alone in a room together, might cause people to gossip and damage Jiang Qiao's reputation. That's why she came over to keep the two children company, and it just so happened that Song Lianfeng was here too.
The group chatted and drank tea in a relaxed manner. Song Lianfeng knew that Ning Hao was injured, but she didn't know what kind of injury it was. However, seeing that the child had returned in good condition, she assumed that the injury had almost healed and that he was just recuperating.
Sure enough, the conversation escalated to this point, and Zhu Lin's mind worked quite quickly. It wasn't that Song Lianfeng was a bad person, but she felt that it wasn't appropriate to bring it up at this time.
She couldn't judge Jiang Qiao's medical skills, but in any case, Jiang Qiao had cured her grandson's illness.
But she wasn't sure if Jiang Qiao could cure Wang Dahua's illness. What if word got out? Wouldn't that damage the child's reputation?
"Soldiers are bound to get injured. The doctors there are skilled, so we can recover faster. Otherwise, we would have been delayed in getting back."
She had made up her mind; she would have to tell the old man at home not to say anything carelessly.
Song Lianfeng sighed, "Sigh, we used to envy your Haozi. Now it seems that no job is easy. In this light, it's not so bad for our Chunming. At least I don't have to worry about him every day."
Speaking of this, Zhu Lin and Song Lianfeng found common ground and became more and more engrossed in their conversation. Jiang Qiao poured them tea several times before the topic finally came to an end.
"Oh my god, it's so late, I have to hurry back, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Zhu Lin also got up to say goodbye, taking her grandson with her. "Girl, lock the door. If you need anything, just call out. Haozi is at home."
When they got home, Zhu Lin gave the man a few instructions about Jiang Qiao's ability to cure illnesses.
"You old woman, even if I wanted to say something, I'd have to find someone to say it. Don't worry, I understand this. The girl is still young and can't handle such a big reputation. Perhaps Jiang Qiao specializes in this, and maybe she's not good at anything else."
Zhu Lin didn't care whether Jiang Qiao would or not, "Just remember this. We didn't really understand before, but from now on, you have to be more careful with your words."
Ning Hao didn't say anything else about his grandfather's judgment. He didn't want to tell outsiders whether Jiang Qiao was capable or not; he just knew what was going on in his heart.
Jiang Qiao is still in the learning and growth stage, and he doesn't want too many external things to disturb her.
Ning Hao had made a lot of noise while treating his illness and practicing his martial arts. He went back to his room, washed himself, and then lay down on the bed. Thinking about Jiang Qiao and what happened tonight, he felt like he was dreaming. Things that only happen in novels had actually happened to him.
Even he himself found it somewhat unbelievable that Jiang Qiao could open his Ren and Du meridians with just silver needles. Based on this alone, Jiang Qiao's medical skills were not to be underestimated. He didn't know whether to be grateful or cautious. This little girl had such extraordinary abilities; what could he possibly use to protect Jiang Qiao?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. In just a few short years, the timid and silent little girl who used to be under Wang Dahua's command had unknowingly transformed into someone he could no longer reach.
While happy for Jiang Qiao, he also felt the gap between himself and her. He hadn't realized it before, but now he was getting further and further away from Jiang Qiao. He should work harder now. Even if he couldn't reach Jiang Qiao's level, he could still become a solid support for the little girl in the future. The saying "Do whatever you want" was not just empty words. He had to put this wish into action and make it a reality.
The next morning, after Ning Hao finished eating and taking his medicine, he went to wait for Jiang Qiao. He wanted to take her to school. He hadn't taken her to school even once since she started school. Although he couldn't keep doing it, at least this one time would be something he would remember for a long time.
Ning Hao said he would take her to school. Jiang Qiao was taken aback at first, but then nodded knowingly.
"Sure, let's go, you give me a ride. By the way, are you free today? If you're free, could you go find Song Shutian and help me investigate someone..."
Jiang Qiao briefly explained the situation of the great-aunt to Ning Hao, who was surprised.
"Your great-aunt, how did this person suddenly appear out of nowhere? Is he even able to hit his target?"
"That's why I need to check. Have Song Shutian contact Song Zhi and see who's more convenient. I'm just worried. They should arrive in the next couple of days. It has to be quick. You know our family's situation; we can't afford any problems."
Ning Hao readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go find him after I drop you off at school."
As they were talking, Zhao Jianjun rode up from behind on his bicycle. Seeing that it was Ning Hao with Jiang Qiao on the back, he whistled.
"Hey, Ning Hao, you're alright now. I was just wondering who this was, giving Jiang Qiao a ride."
When Ning Hao turned his head, Zhao Jianjun felt a little guilty just looking at him.
"What? Jiang Qiao can't ride in someone else's car? I can't give Jiang Qiao a ride? You little brat, get your crooked thoughts out of your head."
