Chapter 72: She traded sesame seeds for watermelon and she still thought she made a profit
After going to the toilet, Jiang Jinzhou didn't want to go back to the ward.
He knew that as soon as he returned, his brother would force the child on him again.
After walking around the hospital for a while, I saw the clock on the wall in the lobby and it was already half past three.
Lanlan is still waiting for him to make shell noodles. How can he find an excuse to go back?
Just as I was thinking about it, Xue Shuzhen and Zhou Yun came back carrying large and small bags.
"Jinzhou? Why are you wandering around outside instead of watching over your sister in the room?"
"I'm going to the bathroom now. My brother's in there. What did you buy? All those bags?"
Xue Shuzhen smiled and showed the bag.
“These are the two pig’s trotters I bought for your sister.
This is the clothes I bought for Leilei, this is the snacks I bought for Leilei, this is a pair of shoes I bought for Leilei, and this is the toy I bought for Leilei."
"Your sister-in-law said that the weather is getting colder and she's worried that Lei Lei will get sick again, so I bought him two cans of health-enhancing milk powder. Drinking it can reduce the frequency of illness."
"Hahaha... educated people know a lot. I didn't even know that children can drink milk powder when they grow up. It's called children's milk powder!"
After she finished showing off what she was holding, Zhou Yun quickly opened the small bag in her hand and took out the contents.
"Look! This is the waistcoat I bought for our mother. Last year's waistcoat was almost worn out by washing, but she still didn't want to replace it. She doesn't care about herself, so as her daughter-in-law, I should feel sorry for her, right?"
"She told me not to buy it but I insisted. Do you think it looks good?"
"Mom, put it on and let your son see..."
As she spoke, she took the things from Xue Shuzhen's hand and handed the waistcoat to her.
Xue Shuzhen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Hahaha... Oh... Why did you buy this? It's a little rotten, but it's still wearable."
After putting it on impatiently, he buttoned it up and tugged at the edge of his clothes to let Jiang Jinzhou see.
"Look, isn't it nice? This is the color your sister-in-law picked out. She said it suits me best. Feel it, the material is really good, and it's very warm to wear."
"It was very expensive before, and I happened to buy it because it was on sale this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't want to let your sister-in-law spend money indiscriminately."
She pulled the hem of her clothes to show Jiang Jinzhou, but Jiang Jinzhou was in no mood at all and just responded casually.
"Yeah, it looks good. Okay! As long as you're happy."
Zhou Yun smiled with satisfaction: "Buying clothes for mom, how can it be called wasting money? It keeps you warm, right?"
Hearing this, Xue Shuzhen laughed so hard that her teeth were showing.
"My daughter-in-law is the one who cares about me. I raised these two sons in vain, but not one of them even thought of buying me a waistcoat."
"Jinzhou, let me tell you, Mom doesn't ask for much. When you marry a wife in the future, as long as she's half as good to me as your sister-in-law, that'll be enough!"
"Anyway, I just don't like Liang Xiulan. She has a pretty face, but she comes from a poor family, isn't well-educated, and most importantly, has a bad temper. She's always arguing with the elders. I can't have her!"
"Before, I was worried that she would get married before you, and that it would affect you and make it difficult to get married in the future. That's why I asked you to ruin her blind date. I didn't really like her."
"Think about it yourself. We need to hurry up and find someone better than her. I don't require her to have the same education as your sister-in-law, but at least she should have graduated from junior high school, right?
And her family conditions have to be acceptable, her family is too poor!"
Listening to his disdain for Liang Xiulan, Jiang Jinzhou couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Is her family poor? She earns as much in one day as your son does in a month.
He really wanted to shut Xue Shuzhen up with this sentence, but Liang Xiulan told him not to tell anyone about her earning money, otherwise someone with ulterior motives would get angry.
The last time his bad friends went out to eat for free was an example, he couldn't make the same mistake again.
Besides, Xue Shuzhen is a loudmouth who tells everything to others. He dare not let her know, otherwise his Xiulan will definitely break up with him again.
As for cultural level...
Jiang Jinzhou himself hasn't been to school for many days, yet he still wants to find someone who has graduated from junior high school?
Does she think Zhou Yun is everywhere?
Besides, those educated people have so many tricks up their sleeves, can she handle them all?
That can of milk powder was worth five waistcoats. She felt she had made a good deal by exchanging sesame seeds for her watermelon.
Jiang Jinzhou let out a long sigh, smacked his lips helplessly, and said nothing more.
Back in the ward, Jiang Danyue had her eyes closed and looked like she was asleep.
Xue Shuzhen placed the pig's trotters on the table carefully, and suddenly felt a little troubled.
"Where can I stew this? I can't just stew it at home and then send it here, right? That's too much trouble."
Zhou Yun suggested, "Why don't I go ask around and see if there's a restaurant that can help me stew it."
Xue Shuzhen nodded repeatedly: "Okay, go ahead!"
Jiang Jinzhou was worried about not being able to get away, so he immediately took the pig's trotter and said, "No, give it to me. I'll find a place to stew it! I'll bring it over when I'm done."
Xue Shuzhen was skeptical: "Do you know how to stew it? The pig's trotters need to be split and stewed! That way the nutrients inside can come out.
Oh, forget it, you don’t know how to do these things, I’ll go with you.”
Jiang Jinzhou immediately refused: "No! Outsiders are not allowed to enter that place, don't worry, I can't stew it, can't I ask? Really, you still treat me like a child."
Xue Shuzhen curled her lips and waved at him.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead, and come back soon!"
Jiang Jinzhou walked to the door and added, "I might be a little late, please let my sister eat!"
After saying that, he left quickly.
When I returned to the staff dormitory, it was already four o'clock.
Liang Xiulan and the others are almost done.
Zhou Caiju was a little confused when she saw Jiang Jinzhou coming.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Jinzhou nodded and smiled: "Second Aunt, I have been here these days."
Zhou Caiju raised her eyebrows and looked at Liang Xiulan and Liu Guizhi blankly.
"Didn't you say...it wasn't working? How come it's working again?"
Liu Guizhi sighed helplessly and raised her chin towards Liang Xiulan who was cutting meat.
"Ask her! She's been possessed by a ghost and has fallen into this brat's hands!"
Is it appropriate to discuss this in front of people?
Jiang Jinzhou's face was a little hot, but he still smiled. Fortunately, Zhou Caiju didn't say anything else.
When Liang Xiujuan saw that he was carrying something in his hand, she ran over to help him immediately.
"Brother-in-law, what did you buy?"
Zhou Caiju sneered: "Little girl, why are you yelling nonsense? Your sister isn't married yet. Don't call me brother-in-law all the time. You'll make people laugh at you if you go out."
Liang Xiujuan stuck out her tongue and opened the bag in Jiang Jinzhou's hand.
"Wow... Pig's trotter?!!!"
"Why did you buy pig's trotters, sister? We have pig's trotters to eat tonight!"
Liang Xiulan put down the knife in her hand and came over to take a look into the bag.
"Why did you buy pig's trotters?"
Jiang Jinzhou licked his lips and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Liang Xiujuan's expectant eyes.
"That...isn't for us to eat. My sister is in the hospital and she might not have enough milk, so my mom bought some pig's trotters for her to eat."
"There was no place to stew it in the hospital, so I brought it back."
Liang Xiujuan was immediately disheartened when she heard this: "So it wasn't for me to eat. Sigh... I was so happy for nothing."
Liang Xiulan and Liu Guizhi frowned, both looking concerned.
"Your sister is in the hospital? When did it happen? Why is she in the hospital?"
Liu Guizhi went to see her last night and both she and her child were fine. Why was she hospitalized today? Will her family be held responsible?
