Chapter 193 Jealousy
Finally, he managed to persuade the man to stop, and Grandpa Zou breathed a sigh of relief.
I can't possibly trouble my spouse now.
Feeling that he had gotten rid of all his worries, Grandpa Zou walked back to the front yard with his hands behind his back in a good mood.
With less of a sense of responsibility, I felt much more relaxed.
Indeed, one should not create trouble for oneself.
Subsequent events proved that Grandpa Zou was too optimistic.
On the other hand, Jiang Qiubai and Zheng Haiyang have temporarily reached a peaceful agreement because of Chang Dafeng's hospitalization.
Jiang Qiubai, with a bruised and swollen face, was dragged to the hospital by Zheng Haiyang.
Along the way, Jiang Qiubai followed behind Zheng Haiyang, who was radiating black energy, looking timid and submissive like a little wife, attracting a lot of onlookers.
Someone else chirped, "Look at that woman's face, she's been slapped so badly, oh dear, so pitiful!"
"Absolutely! That man was tall and strong, and looked respectable, but who knew he would beat his wife like that? He's a scoundrel!"
"Look, look, he's heading towards the hospital. He probably beats his wife a lot at home."
Their voices were quite loud, every word reaching Zheng Haiyang's ears, making the veins on his forehead bulge.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he angrily yelled at the group of gossipy women, "What are you looking at?!"
"Watch out or I'll beat you up!"
The passerby, frightened, moved a little further away, figuring Zheng Haiyang couldn't hit him, before spitting out, "What a spineless man! All he knows is hitting women!"
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Zheng Haiyang's face turned green.
Damn it, why are these people so nosy?!
He was the one who got cheated on; he's the victim, okay?
Zheng Haiyang felt so wronged!
Jiang Qiubai shrank back, trying to minimize his presence, otherwise he might get beaten up.
Her intuition was correct; Zheng Haiyang did indeed want to hit someone. However, they were on the street with so many eyes watching, which would be inappropriate. So, she only gave Jiang Qiubai a cold look before quickening her pace and leaving him behind.
Upon arriving at the hospital and finding Chang Dafeng's ward, the two immediately attracted the attention of the nurse inside, who asked warily, "Who are you looking for?"
Zheng Haiyang, who always paid attention to his image in public, smirked and said, "I am Chang Dafeng's son. We're here to take care of her. Comrade, how is my mother's injury?"
"Oh, oh. Comrade Chang Dafeng is in this ward. Her injury isn't serious; she can be discharged after some rest. The patient is asleep right now, so please keep your voices down."
After learning who they were, the nurse looked at them with a strange gaze for a while.
There was curiosity, sympathy, and something else unspeakable in that gaze.
I've seen this countless times today.
Zheng Haiyang asked with a dark expression, "What's wrong?"
He was clearly in a very bad mood.
The nurse gave an awkward laugh. "N-nothing, I just noticed that the woman had an injury on her face and wanted to ask if she needed any medicine."
The man was tall and burly, with a dark face; he looked like someone not to be trifled with. She dared not tell the truth.
Zheng Haiyang glanced expressionlessly at Jiang Qiubai, whose face was covered in bruises.
"Shall we apply the medicine?"
Jiang Qiubai was startled and quickly waved his hand with a fawning smile, "No, no need, this injury is nothing serious, it will be fine in a few days, no need, it's a waste of money!"
"oh oh!"
The nurse gave an awkward reply and quickly jogged away from the ward.
The nurse felt a pang of sympathy. The woman's face was badly injured, and she seemed terrified of the man. For a moment, the nurse didn't know whether to sympathize with the woman or the man.
That's right, the nurse also knew about Jiang Qiubai cheating on Zheng Haiyang.
After all, when they were brought to the hospital, the two old ladies were still arguing, one after the other, and the doctors and nurses at the hospital heard the whole story clearly.
The two people in the ward remained silent. Jiang Qiubai dared not speak, for fear of being beaten.
He kept looking down at his toes.
Zheng Haiyang glanced at Jiang Qiubai with disgust, left a message saying, "Take good care of Mom, I'm going to pay the bills," and went downstairs to settle the medical expenses with a sullen face.
When the cashier saw Chang Dafeng's name, she paused, then looked Zheng Haiyang up and down carefully, and then revealed a look of "pity, sympathy, and hesitation".
Zheng Haiyang's face darkened, and he decisively took the receipt and left.
I'm afraid that if I take a slow step, someone will remind me that I'm being cuckolded.
Damn it, how did all these people know?
However, he soon discovered that it wasn't just the toll collector; when Zheng Haiyang returned, he found that the doctors and nurses around him were all looking at him with those kinds of eyes.
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Zheng Haiyang gritted his teeth.
Ah, that despicable Jiang Qiubai!
You've made me lose face so badly I had to go to the hospital!
-----------------
Jiang Qiubai had no idea that Zheng Haiyang was furious again and was increasingly planning to take it out on her.
After Zheng Haiyang left, she sat alone for a while, guessing that Chang Dafeng would sleep for a while longer before waking up. Then she took out the thermos she had brought from home and went upstairs to the water room to get water. While getting the water, she thought about how she should deal with the old woman after she woke up.
I can let the beating I got today go, but if it's really confirmed that I cheated on Zheng Haiyang, then I'll be in real trouble when that old hag wakes up.
Jiang Qiubai gritted his teeth. No, he couldn't admit it no matter what.
Anyway, Dong Xiangxiang has no evidence to prove that she has anything going on with Ren Yongsheng, so she can just deny it to the death.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiubai heard a familiar voice.
Outside, a group of people were chatting and laughing; they were neighbors from courtyard number 35.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng were among them. Yes, even though Cheng Jiajia was pregnant, she couldn't shake her gossipy nature and came to the hospital as well. However, Yu Junsheng wouldn't let her move forward, but instead pulled her to hide at the very back.
To be honest, these two old ladies were incredibly fierce; they kept arguing even after arriving at the hospital.
You said, "Damn it, your son, that hook seller, dared to seduce my daughter-in-law!"
I retorted, "Your son is the one selling hooks, so your daughter-in-law comes to my son because she's hungry. My son hasn't even complained about your daughter-in-law being dirty..."
The information contained in their words not only stunned the hospital staff but also made them deeply alarmed. They quickly separated the two elderly women, fearing that if they continued to share a ward, the room would explode.
After taking Chang Dafeng and Guan Ailian to the hospital, they didn't go back immediately. Instead, they watched the commotion outside for a while before leaving.
Yu Junsheng was afraid that Cheng Jiajia would be bumped into by people, so he carefully protected her while walking, which attracted a lot of attention.
Cheng Jiajia awkwardly pushed away Yu Junsheng's hand that was supporting her, "Don't do that, it's not that exaggerated, people will laugh at us."
This person is making a fuss over nothing. She's not even two months along yet, why is she so nervous?
Yu Junsheng remained unmoved and snorted, "What's so funny? I think they're just jealous that you have a man who dotes on you."
Seeing this, the older women walking in the courtyard next door teased them, "Look at Junsheng, he's practically doting on his wife."
"You bet it, it made my eyes water. When I was eight or nine months pregnant, my husband wasn't this attentive."
“Hey Junsheng, your wife isn’t showing yet, there’s no need to be so nervous. Making Jiajia uncomfortable like this will only make the pregnancy worse.”
"Besides, the baby is still several months away from being born. Are you going to stay home all day protecting your wife and not go anywhere?"
Yu Junsheng thought about it and realized that made sense. He was being so careful because he was afraid his wife would bump into something, but if it made her uncomfortable, it would backfire.
Only then did he let go and start walking normally.
Cheng Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief.
Since finding out she was pregnant, Yu Junsheng had been very nervous. She was afraid that if he continued like this, she would also unconsciously become nervous, which would be bad for the pregnancy.
The group had just reached the corner of the stairs.
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind.
A scream came from down the stairs.
"ah!"
"Help!"
