"It's nothing now. She must have been stimulated by something. As a family member, you should pay more attention to her."
After the old Chinese doctor finished speaking, he pointed at Song Shishi's ankle and said, "I have some medicinal wine. I'll ask Youan to get you a bottle later. Apply it on your ankle for a few days and it will be fine."
"Thank you so much, how much is your consultation fee? I..."
Before Song Shishi finished her words, the old Chinese doctor waved his hand and said, "No need. I haven't treated patients for a long time. I only made this trip today because you are Youan's friend."
The old Chinese doctor stopped chatting with her, flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked away.
Xie Youan looked at the old Chinese doctor's back, then turned to look at Song Shishi.
"Well... I'm leaving now. I'll pay you a formal visit next time."
Song Shishi smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for today."
Zheng Peilan's behavior today really scared Song Shishi.
...
...
In her previous life, Zheng Peilan also lay on the ground like this, holding her chest, and finally died in front of her.
Her hands were shaking when she took the medicine today.
If Xu Li hadn't met Xie Youan outside today, she really couldn't imagine what the situation would be like now.
After Xie Youan left, Song Shishi turned around and went into the house.
Looking at Zheng Peilan lying on the bed with her eyes closed peacefully, she could no longer control the tears from her eyes and flowed down.
She sat down sideways next to Zheng Peilan and held Zheng Peilan's hand tightly.
Only when she felt the warmth from her palm did she realize that Zheng Peilan was really okay.
"Sister, I'll reheat the food, you eat first."
Xu Li entered the house carrying the food.
Song Shishi shook her head, "I don't have much appetite, you eat it."
Xu Li wanted to persuade her again, so she patted Xu Li's shoulder and said softly, "I'm fine. After you finish your meal, boil a pot of hot water. I want to wipe my mother."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as Xu Li left, Zheng Peilan woke up slowly.
"Mother."
Song Shishi quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, leaned forward slightly, and helped Zheng Peilan up with a faint smile.
Zheng Peilan half leaned on the head of the bed, raised her hand and stroked Song Shishi's cheek, and asked softly: "Did I scare you today?"
Song Shishi shook her head, "As long as you are okay, nothing else matters."
I don’t know if this sentence “hit” Zheng Peilan’s heart, but her eyes turned red instantly.
"Shishi, if...I mean if."
Zheng Peilan hesitated again and again, looked directly into Song Shishi's eyes, and continued: "If you were asked to choose between dad and mom, who would you choose?"
Song Shishi didn't hesitate at all and blurted out: "Of course I choose my mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Shishi suddenly realized something.
Why did Zheng Peilan suddenly ask this question?
She asked tentatively: "Mom, when you went to the street to buy pig's trotters today, did you see anything?"
Zheng Peilan smiled faintly, "No, don't think too much. Maybe I didn't buy any pig's trotters, and I was a little angry for a while, so I got sick."
"Pig's trotters are not that important. As long as my baby daughter is fine, I will be satisfied."
Zheng Peilan seemed to have something else to say, but when Song Shishi asked her, she was unwilling to say it.
Although Song Shishi had some guesses in her mind, she didn't dare to actually ask.
What if it wasn’t? What if Zheng Peilan’s illness wasn’t caused by her scumbag father?
Wouldn't her question irritate Zheng Peilan again?
When the old Chinese doctor left just now, he reminded her not to let Zheng Peilan get upset again.
I may not be able to save him next time.
"I'll be back at the compound tomorrow. You two girls are staying here, so be careful."
"good."
Remembering that Zheng Peilan had not had dinner yet, Song Shishi got up and went out, running into Xu Li who was carrying hot water.
"Sister, I'll give you some hot water."
"Thank you for your hard work, Lili. My mother has woken up. Can you please bring the food over for me?"
Zheng Peilan got into an accident and her foot was injured. Thanks to Xu Li who took care of her.
"Okay." Xu Li responded readily, brought the hot water into the house, and then went out again.
Zheng Peilan saw all of this and sighed softly, "Lili is a really good child. You are my only daughter. It would be great if you two could support each other and get along like real sisters."
"Yes, it's very good. She had a hard life as a child, but now she has finally found her happy ending. She has a job, a lover, and will get married and have children in the future. Her life is perfect."
In Song Shishi's eyes, Xu Li is her sister.
Even if we are not blood relatives, it doesn’t matter.
…
Early the next morning, after Song Shishi went to work, Zheng Peilan packed up her things and took the bus back to the compound.
As soon as Zheng Peilan entered the house, she found that Song Zhenhua was at home instead of going to the army, which was a rare occurrence.
Normally at this time, Zheng Peilan would take the initiative to come forward and talk to him.
This time, she just glanced at him lightly and then carried her luggage into the room.
Song Zhenhua moved his eyes away from the newspaper and frowned slightly when he noticed Zheng Peilan had returned.
He slowly folded the newspaper neatly and placed it on the coffee table next to him.
Song Zhenhua looked back in the direction of the master bedroom, stood up, straightened his shirt, and then slowly walked towards the room.
"What are you doing? Did that girl Shishi make you angry?"
As soon as Song Zhenhua entered the room, he saw Zheng Peilan taking out her clothes from the closet one by one, folding them neatly and putting them into a large empty cloth bag.
He doesn't look like he just came back from outside, but rather like he is about to leave home.
Zheng Peilan didn't say anything and just focused on her own work.
Song Zhenhua walked forward with a frown, grabbed Zheng Peilan's hand, put down the clothes in her hand, and forced her to face him.
Song Zhenhua lowered his head slightly and asked in a slow tone, "Pei Lan, what's wrong with you? Why are you packing up right after you come back? I'm talking to you, but you ignore me."
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Peilan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked, "What's wrong with me? Don't you know it in your heart?"
"How should I know? If I did something wrong, just tell me. We are an old married couple, why bother with this?"
Song Zhenhua glanced meaningfully at the clothes spread all over the bed.
Zheng Peilan closed her eyes, adjusted her mood, and sat down beside the bed.
"Then tell me honestly, where were you yesterday afternoon?"
After a close call yesterday, Zheng Peilan figured out a lot of things.
She has a daughter, so even if she leaves Song Zhenhua, she is not left with nowhere to go.
Besides, she has her parents' family to rely on, so she doesn't have to worry about food, clothing and other expenses.
Why should you suffer the consequences and live with someone who betrays you?
If one day she were to be angered to death by this scumbag couple, her daughter would be the one who would be most sad.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhenhua narrowed his eyes, and some emotion seemed to flash across his eyes.
But after all, he is a soldier who has been to the battlefield. As the head of a military region, he has encountered all kinds of storms.
The expression on his face did not change at all, and he looked calm.
He spread his hands and said innocently, "Where else can I be? Apart from the army, isn't it home?"
"What's wrong with you? Is someone gossiping about you? Tell me who it is and I'll go to her house and confront her face to face."
Zheng Peilan shook her head. The man in front of her, who had lived with her for nearly twenty years, lied without even blinking an eye.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes yesterday, she would have almost believed his lies.
