Since Zhao Xingmei fell ill, no one made breakfast at home.
Jiang Rui and Jiang Xi got up in a daze to eat, but they heard that their mother was too sick to get up, so there was no breakfast, so they were left to solve it themselves.
"Mom, weren't you fine yesterday? Why are you sick today?" Jiang Xi stood by the window and reached out to touch her head. "I don't think the temperature is high!"
Jiang Jingshan cursed as he put on his clothes: "You mean you are sick only if you have a fever, and nothing is wrong if you don't have a fever? You little bastard, do you have a conscience?"
Seeing that his father was very angry, Jiang Xi quickly held his mouth and dared not say anything else.
"Your mother is sick, and you can't even say a word of comfort?" Jiang Jingshan stared at Jiang Xi fiercely, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with him.
It was not right for Jiang Xi to speak, nor was it right for him to remain silent. He raised his hand and scratched his head, and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Mom, then you should have a good rest! I'll go out for breakfast!"
"You have no conscience. Go out and eat and get back to work!"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Xi agreed reluctantly. Not daring to stay a moment longer, he ran out of the house.
...
...
When he came out, he bumped into Ye Li: "Sister-in-law, I heard that you just came back from a business trip yesterday. Why did you get up so early today? Do you still need to go to work?"
Ye Li smiled: "No need to go to work, doesn't your brother have to go to work? I'll get up and make breakfast!"
Jiang Xi heard this and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, we were not feeling well and did not get up to cook this morning. I am a grown man but I am clumsy and I don't know how to cook. Can you cook for me?"
"Okay!" Ye Li agreed readily, "What's wrong with that? I'll go see mom first, and then come back to cook!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ye Li entered Zhao Xingmei's room and saw her lying on the bed. Jiang Jingshan was squatting next to the washbasin rack in the corner brushing his teeth. Jiang Rui sat next to Zhao Xingmei, holding his breath, and carefully asked about her condition.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is it serious? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Zhao Xingmei turned her back to Jiang Rui and sighed, "I'm so dizzy that I can't stand up, and I feel like vomiting. Rui, is it okay for you to accompany me to the hospital? Don't you have to go to work?"
Jiang Rui actually didn't want to accompany Zhao Xingmei to the hospital for treatment, as it would waste time and cost money, but he had to find out what was going on.
My father-in-law and his family are coming to visit my mother-in-law tonight, and I was counting on my mother to prepare dinner. But now, if my mother falls ill, who will prepare dinner?
"Mom..." Jiang Rui sighed deeply, "I want to accompany you to the hospital, but the schedule in the workshop is very tight. I have already asked for leave several times because of Wang Sha's matter. If I ask for leave again, I am afraid it will not be approved..."
"You don't have to accompany me, just do whatever you need to do. I'll lie down for a while. If it's nothing serious, I'll get up and work. If it's something serious, I'll go to the hospital. Please take good care of Wang Sha, and don't let anything happen to the adults and children. Please also tell your mother-in-law for me, I can't make breakfast today." Zhao Xingmei said weakly.
"Hey, hey, hey, I know. Mom... Mom... this..."
Jiang Rui was reluctant to leave and spoke hesitantly, which made Zhao Xingmei turn over and look at him.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"This... If I say this at this time, it seems that I am very unfilial, but... Mom, I still have to say it. Don't forget, my father-in-law and his family will come to see my mom tonight. If you fall ill, who will prepare dinner?" Jiang Rui gritted his teeth and said this with a stiff upper lip.
Zhao Xingmei sneered in her heart: I have raised an ungrateful person!
The daughter-in-law is always leaning towards her parents' home, and you, as a son-in-law, are also being disloyal! You don't see that your own mother is dying, but you only care about pleasing your father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"If that doesn't work, then tell your father-in-law and his family not to come! If you're worried about your mother-in-law's health, why not take her away? Look, I can't tell what my health is like, and I can't let your mother-in-law starve here, can I? Otherwise, find a way to arrange it! If that doesn't work, you can just take them out to a restaurant!"
"Let's go to a restaurant?" Jiang Rui thought this was a good suggestion, "But...will you reimburse me for this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jingshan's toothbrush cup flew over. If Jiang Rui hadn't dodged quickly, he would have had a big bump on his head: "Do you have a conscience? You only care about your mother-in-law. Have you ever cared about your mother's life or death? Last night, your mother got up to go to the bathroom and was so dizzy that she couldn't stand up. Did you care about her?"
"Dad, don't be angry! It's not that I don't care about my mom, I just want to confirm what to do about today's incident."
Seeing this, Ye Li finally spoke up: "Dad, don't be angry! Jiang Rui has no choice. He promised yesterday. If he doesn't take good care of them today, I'm afraid they won't be happy. He's stuck in the middle and it's hard for him!"
"Yes, Dad! It's my sister-in-law who understands!"
"Jiang Rui, you should go to work during the day. I'll take a rest today. I'll accompany mom to the hospital! When the results come out, I'll call you and tell you not to worry!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jiang Rui felt relieved and hurriedly thanked Ye Li.
"You're welcome! But I also have a suggestion... You should ask your father-in-law and his family not to come. Mom is not feeling well, no matter if she's okay or not. I'm afraid she won't be able to cook dinner properly. What do you think?"
Jiang Rui hesitated again and again: "Then I have to ask Wang Sha about this."
"Okay, go ahead."
As soon as Jiang Rui left, Ye Li followed him out. There were already more people in the yard. Some were washing their faces and brushing their teeth around the sink, while those who were lighting the fire and cooking in the kitchen were busy.
"Dad!" She shouted at the top of her voice, "My mom is not feeling well and can't cook. You guys should just follow me and Jiang Xun to eat this morning!"
Jiang Jingshan hurried out of the house and shouted, "Thank you, Ye Li, this is all we can do today!"
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Ye Li smiled and went into the kitchen.
After a while, Aunt Jiang came over to borrow some onions and took the opportunity to ask Ye Li, "Ye Li, what happened to your mother-in-law?"
Ye Li said exaggeratedly: "I don't know what happened last night. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and fainted on the ground. I felt dizzy and couldn't stand up!"
"Is it that serious?"
"Isn't it? My mother-in-law is such a strong-willed person. If it wasn't a big deal, she would never lie still! You also know that Wang Sha is pregnant. I heard it might be a boy. My mother-in-law is so happy that she goes to work very hard every day! She is afraid that if she doesn't go to work for a day, she will earn less money and won't have money to buy milk powder when her eldest grandson is born!" Ye Li said with exaggeration.
