"Doudou, remember, as long as we are strong enough, no matter what others say or do, it won't hurt us at all. If we really let them lead us by the nose and let others control our emotions, we will be in big trouble.
Don't mention that I'm not at home. Even if I was at home, what would happen? Who stipulated that I must save him and that I can definitely save him? He was willing to leave his family behind to die. Why should I save someone who doesn't want to live? "
The world outside is far more complicated than what his brother and sister-in-law said. Doudou seemed to understand it but not quite. He thought about it several times before he suddenly understood.
Although they let her go on duty, the two were still worried and would ask her from time to time about what was happening outside and how she dealt with it.
Doudou started to make a living at her uncle's house when she was only four or five years old. Living under someone else's roof, she had to learn to be forbearing and face everything with silence or a smile. She could only cry secretly. If she was discovered by her uncle's family, she would be scolded or not allowed to eat.
Later, after being slowly enlightened by Jiang Ning, she would open her heart to her brother and sister-in-law, but rarely expressed her true emotions to outsiders.
Either keep silent or just smile and move on.
So, even if people outside talked about Jiang Ning, she didn't rush out to refute them, but kept it all in her heart.
She was afraid that she would do something wrong due to impulse, so she went home and asked her brother and sister-in-law and found out.
My brother said that there are some mistakes that should not be made, even if it is only once, the price you pay may very likely be your life.
She can only feel her way around many things.
Jiang Ning didn't take the rumors to heart at all and just lived his life as usual.
She was no longer on duty, and apart from exercising and taking care of the space, she spent almost all her time reading medical books.
Some families in the community were happy while others were sad. Some owners had their hidden supplies outside stolen, while others excitedly brought them back.
The long night made the gap between the rich and the poor more obvious. In addition to those who cut their wrists, there was also an incident of someone swallowing expired sleeping pills.
Be sad with your sadness and be happy with others' happiness. Sadness and joy are never the same.
Jiang Ning was traveling in the ocean of knowledge. Before he knew it, a month had passed. At night, he suddenly became interested. When he hugged Huo Yishen and kissed him, he was about to have further communication, but he was rejected.
I was a little confused at first, but I soon understood.
During this month, the two had not had any intimate behavior. Although they hadn't said it, they both knew that Xiao Min's death in childbirth had left a psychological trauma on both of them.
Even with the protection of an umbrella you are not completely safe.
Jiang Ning smiled and turned off the bedside lamp. "Go to sleep."
Huo Yishen held her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead, "Aning."
I woke up in the morning, had breakfast, and was just about to continue reading a medical book when the intercom rang. Someone was looking for me at the gate of the community.
Here comes Grandma Zhong.
Jiang Ning thought about it and decided that if the child was safe and sound, today would be his full month.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhong family came together and brought ten kilograms of rice as a thank you gift for Jiang Ning's medical treatment.
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry to collect it. "Grandma Zhong, how is the child?"
Grandma Zhong no longer had her previous optimism and vigor, and she looked much older, but she still curled her lips towards Jiang Ning and said, "The child is fine."
Xiao Min is a sensible and family-oriented person, but the Zhong family is not well-off. She did not receive much nourishment during pregnancy, so the child looked very weak. But after a month of careful feeding, the child seems to be in much better condition, and his eyes can be seen moving very quickly.
He can't speak yet, but I hope the suffocation caused by difficult labor won't affect his IQ.
The Zhong family had a great-grandson, so logically they should have thanked Jiang Ning, their savior, even if they didn't have to present him with many gifts. However, the whole family was in grief over the loss of their grandson's wife and they really didn't feel like it.
Especially Zhong Ping, who didn't eat or drink for several days. He felt that he had killed his wife. If he had been more careful, Xiao Min would not have become pregnant.
If she had aborted the baby in time when she realized that the baby was in an abnormal position, she might not have died. But the baby was moving at that time, and Xiao Min was reluctant to abort it, so she begged her husband to keep it a secret from the family...
So, Zhong Ping didn't want to live at all.
If the child's cry hadn't made him feel the responsibility of being a father, he might have already...
But this is a family matter, and Grandma Zhong has no time to tell anyone about it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took time out to come here to express their gratitude to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning confiscated her thank-you gift and said, "Grandma, take the rice back and grind it into rice milk to feed the child. It will be his full-month gift from me, his aunt."
The Zhong family has been taken care of by Jiang Ning for many years, and the kindness cannot be repaid in just a few words, so Grandma Zhong insisted on giving it to him.
"Grandma, if you want to thank me, wait until he grows up."
Jiang Ning insisted on not accepting it. "Today, I see fewer and fewer familiar faces. Let's just regard it as the fate between our two families."
She had to admit that she had become more than accustomed to the cruelty and darkness of the end of the world. She was numb to everything she saw, and the joys and sorrows, life and death of others seldom touched her emotions.
Grandma Zhong's family can trigger some of her empathy.
If people lose their emotions, what is the difference between them and walking machines?
Therefore, she would be willing to lend a helping hand appropriately, whether it is to help or rescue, and she would feel more or less comfortable in her heart.
Grandma Zhong suddenly burst into tears, "Thank you, Xiao Jiang, thank you so much."
If Jiang Ning hadn't performed a Caesarean section in time to save the child, Zhong Ping might have...had a mental breakdown without the child to tie him up.
In fact, it's not just him, the Zhong family is the same.
No matter how difficult it is, we must live well. We cannot just close our eyes and die. We must raise this child, for the Zhong family and for Xiao Min in heaven.
After seeing the two off, Jiang Ning returned to Building 50 to continue reading.
Young Master Rong would bombard the intercom from time to time.
"Sister, do you want to eat hot pot?"
"Sister, do you want beef or mutton?"
"Sister, I have some medicine that is about to expire, do you want some?"
Jiang Ning didn't want to get too close to the second-generation rich, so he often turned off the intercom.
The public security outside was getting better and better. Qin Chuan and his gang of middlemen, Jianzuihou, were doing a booming business. Not only did they contract the business in the community, they were also actively expanding their business outside.
After the long night, the hierarchical status of the rich circle became more obvious. Many down-and-out socialites who had fallen back into poverty tearfully took out their luxury goods, Chanel dresses, Donkey bags, Hermès high heels, etc., and sold them at the night market, hoping to exchange them for some food.
The survivors passing by couldn't help but sneer, "These people are crazy, a Chanel white gauze dress costs half a pound of rice? Does it keep you warm or keep you full?"
There were even shameless ruffians who came over to tease her, "Beauty, these things are not worth even half a loaf of bread, but you have a pretty face, why don't you come home with me?"
The socialites were so angry that they covered their faces and ran home, crying all night.
Afterwards, someone put aside their pride and went to Qin Chuan, "Brother Qin, look, these are all good things. I spent 1.28 million on this skirt, it's a limited edition, I only wore it once, and this Donkey brand bag, I bought it for my collection, the tag wasn't even cut off, do you think you can sell it?"
