Jiang Jinxiu didn't put everything into her spatial storage; instead, she kept one jar and took it to the hospital.
She remembered that her mother-in-law had wanted to buy a jar before.
Back in the ward, Gu Xiliang was no longer there, and Yang Dongmei looked rather pale.
Jiang Jinxiu guessed that she probably knew about what happened yesterday.
She handed the jar to Yang Dongmei: "Here you go, Mom. Didn't you say you wanted to find a jar to pickle things? How about this?"
Yang Dongmei reached out and took the jar from her, deeply moved. She had only mentioned it casually before, but her third son's wife had actually remembered it.
At this moment, she felt even more sorry for Jiang Jinxiu.
She looked at Jiang Jinxiu, her eyes filled with apology: "Third brother's wife, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Jinxiu knew what she was going to say next, so she interrupted her directly: "Mother, this has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize to me. The fault lies with others."
Ultimately, it was Yang Zhaodi and her family who were at fault; the Gu family did nothing wrong.
Yang Dongmei has no obligation to apologize to her for someone else's mistake.
"Okay, okay." The third son's wife was a reasonable person. Yang Dongmei had always known that.
"Mother, how is Father?"
"It's the same as always, but this morning I thought I saw his eyelashes move a little. I don't know if it's just my presbyopia. I called the doctor to check, but the doctor couldn't find anything."
Yang Dongmei said with some disappointment.
“Mom, talk to Dad more, tell him your stories, and talk about things that concern him. Maybe he will hear you. You should also tell him to keep moving towards the light and not to lose his way.”
Hearing Yang Dongmei's explanation, Jiang Jinxiu suspected that Gu Dashan was slowly regaining consciousness.
However, the current medical equipment is relatively outdated, and nothing was detected.
Just as Jiang Jinxiu had imagined, Gu Dashan felt as if he were in a dark place. He could hear their voices, but he couldn't see or find them.
No matter how he called out, no one responded. It was too dark, and he didn't know where to go.
"Mom, have you eaten yet?" It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Jiang Jinxiu didn't know if Yang Dongmei had eaten lunch. In any case, she herself had really forgotten to eat.
"I've already eaten." Yang Dongmei's stomach rumbled as soon as she finished speaking.
She looked at Jiang Jinxiu with an embarrassed expression and said awkwardly, "Uh... I forgot."
Jiang Jinxiu didn't expose her embarrassment, but took her hand and said, "Mom, let's go eat at the state-run restaurant, I'm hungry too."
Just as she reached the door, Yang Dongmei suddenly remembered something. She let go of Jiang Jinxiu's hand and went back to pick up the jar.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinxiu took the jar from her hand and said, "Mother, we won't take this with us. It's too inconvenient to carry it."
"No, what if someone takes it if we leave it here?"
"Then let's put it under Dad's bed. It's okay, this is a hospital."
At Jiang Jinxiu's urging, Yang Dongmei reluctantly hid the jar under Gu Dashan's bed.
"Old man, I'll put this jar under your bed. Please keep an eye on it for me. My third son's wife and I are going to have a meal and will be right back."
Yang Dongmei instructed Gu Dashan, because in her heart he was not a vegetable, but still the man she could rely on.
Yang Dongmei felt a little awkward at the state-run restaurant. She had lived a frugal life and had never been to a state-run restaurant before.
Normally, she would bring her own food when she went on long trips, but these days Jiang Jinxiu would bring her meals to the hospital for her to eat.
Jiang Jinxiu noticed her discomfort and led Yang Dongmei to an empty table: "Mother, would you like rice or noodles?"
In addition to stir-fried dishes, state-run restaurants also serve enough rice and noodles for one person.
"I'd like some rice noodles, just a bowl of vegetarian rice noodles will do."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinxiu went to the front to order food.
However, she didn't order vegetarian rice noodles, but instead ordered two bowls of meat rice noodles.
When the noodles were served, Yang Dongmei was hesitant to eat them, thinking that someone had served the wrong thing.
"Third brother's wife, I ordered vegetarian rice noodles. Did they serve the wrong thing? Please return it to them."
"Mom, there's no mistake, I ordered it. I want to eat meat noodles, so please eat with me. Otherwise, I'll feel bad if I eat meat noodles by myself and you eat vegetarian noodles, and what will people think of me? Don't worry, Xichen gave me enough money."
Jiang Jinxiu knew that if she said it was her own money, Yang Dongmei would definitely not want to eat it, but if she said it was her son's, she wouldn't have too many concerns.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Jinxiu say that, Yang Dongmei ate her noodles in peace.
They had just finished eating their noodles and hadn't even gotten up when someone bumped into them.
Fortunately, Jiang Jinxiu reacted quickly and pulled Yang Dongmei up, otherwise the remaining soup would have been spilled all over her.
A man and a woman at the next table started arguing and even got into a physical fight.
The man swayed and pushed the woman to the ground.
He bumped right into the table where Jiang Jinxiu and the others were eating.
The items on the table were scattered all over the floor.
The man was clearly drunk.
"You damn old hag, I said I'm not going back and I'm not going back. You dare to stop me? You're asking for trouble."
The woman was no pushover either; she immediately stood up: "You, surnamed Ma, how dare you push me? I'll beat you to death..."
As he spoke, he rushed forward and began scratching him.
The man and the woman started fighting.
Jiang Jinxiu never expected that eating noodles would lead to such a thing.
People gathered around to watch the spectacle.
The waiters at the state-run restaurant rushed over to try and separate the two, but they ended up with black eyes from their own beatings.
Yang Dongmei pulled Jiang Jinxiu away, saying, "Third brother's wife, just watch this commotion. Don't go any closer. Look how badly that person is suffering."
Jiang Jinxiu nodded and followed Yang Dongmei out of the state-run restaurant.
But as soon as she stepped out of the restaurant, Yang Dongmei froze.
She looked ahead, her eyes slightly red.
Jiang Jinxiu followed behind and almost bumped into her. She was a little confused. Following her gaze, she saw an old woman with her back to them, hunched over, walking slowly forward.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Jiang Jinxiu asked curiously.
Yang Dongmei did not reply to her.
At this moment, all that remained in her world was the old man with a hunched back walking forward.
She took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped.
She wiped away her tears only after she could no longer see the old man's back.
"Mother, what is that?"
“That’s my mother, your maternal grandmother.”
"Oh, it's Grandma! Let's hurry and catch up with her. We'll make it in time. Grandma will be so happy to see you."
Yang Dongmei stopped Jiang Jinxiu, who was walking forward: "No need, she won't want to see me. I had a falling out with them when your father became like this."
As Yang Dongmei spoke, tears streamed down her face, and no matter how much she wiped them away, they wouldn't stop.
