Gu Xilan knew she had misunderstood Jiang Jinhua, and without hesitation, she sincerely apologized to Jiang Jinhua.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault just now. I shouldn't have hit you without asking what happened."
Jiang Jinhua refused to accept her apology. He remembered how she had called him ugly.
This is the first time in my life that someone has told me I'm ugly.
Jiang Jinhua felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it.
Jiang Jinxiu raised her hand and touched Jiang Jinhua's arm: "What's wrong? A girl apologized to you, why are you still being so hesitant?"
Jiang Jinhua immediately felt wronged again: "She said I'm ugly! How dare she say I'm ugly."
Jiang Jinxiu was speechless; she had been wondering why.
He looks really ugly now.
But she couldn't say it, otherwise that brat might really run away in a fit of anger.
"Come on, let's go to the doctor to get some medicine. Apply it a few times and it will be fine."
Jiang Jinhua reluctantly followed Jiang Jinxiu.
The remaining people looked at each other, bewildered, as the two figures walked away.
Gu Xilan: "Tch, she's ugly to begin with, and she won't let anyone say that. So arrogant."
Yang Dongmei: "Xi Lan, what are you saying? That's your third sister-in-law's brother. You can't be rude."
Gu Xilan stuck out her tongue: "I just won't say it in front of him anymore."
“You, you…” Yang Dongmei sometimes couldn’t do anything about her daughter.
"My dear child, you must listen to your mother."
"Yes, Father."
Gu Xilan mentally complained, but this time she learned her lesson and didn't say it aloud.
Jiang Jinxiu took Jiang Jinhua directly to the emergency room. The experienced doctor there immediately knew what was wrong with Jiang Jinhua and prescribed him a medicated ointment.
As soon as the ointment arrived, Jiang Jinxiu applied it to him right there. Seeing that he still had a sullen expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
He's such a child who hasn't grown up.
"Silly girl, why bother arguing with her? Do you want to find a mirror and see what you look like now? Aren't you afraid of being scared by yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor next to him handed him a mirror.
When Jiang Jinhua first saw her appearance, she was genuinely shocked and exclaimed, "How can I be so ugly?"
Jiang Jinxiu thanked the doctor, then took the mirror from his hand and handed it to Jiang Jinhua: "Here, take a good look at what you look like now."
She suppressed a laugh, wanting him to accept reality.
"Waaaaah... I can tolerate some red spots, but why are there so many bumps? Am I going to be disfigured? My handsome face is ruined, waaaaah..."
Hearing his words, even the doctor next to him laughed. He comforted him, saying, "Keep applying this ointment every morning and evening. Once you finish applying this ointment, you'll be fine."
What a lively character!
Jiang Jinhua immediately went over and grasped the doctor's hand: "Really? Really? Thank you, doctor, you're truly my second parent. Waaah..."
Jiang Jinxiu was speechless and slapped him across the face: "Are you going to apply the medicine or not?"
Jiang Jinhua said with a wronged expression, "Sister, why did you hit me again? It must be because I'm too ugly, so you don't love me anymore."
Jiang Jinxiu was too lazy to pay him any more attention, but Jiang Jinhua wasn't one to read between the lines, or rather, he was always completely uninhibited in front of his sister.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you insist on marrying here? If you want to get married, your parents know plenty of eligible young men. You could have a whole line of them waiting for you to choose from."
Jiang Jinxiu glared at him and said, "Shut up."
She quickened her pace, applied the medicine quickly, and went back.
When she returned to the ward, everyone had come back.
Of course, she was greeted by everyone, and Jiang Jinxiu patiently explained the reason to them, and also introduced Jiang Jinhua again.
This incident changed Jiang Jinhua's perception of the Gu family; he had always thought that rural people were unreasonable.
After all, he had been forced to become a live-in son-in-law.
It seems okay now; at least he cares about and worries about his older sister.
But why didn't he see the man his sister married?
Could it be that he treated his sister badly, which is why the rest of the family was so concerned about her whereabouts, fearing she might run away?
Jiang Jinhua had a lot of questions, but he was more interested in going to Gujia Village to see what his sister was doing there recently.
If they were faking it, then the other villagers would definitely know.
It's impossible to silence everyone.
The Gu family packed up, completed the formalities, and left the hospital.
When we got back to the village entrance, we happened to run into an oxcart returning to the village.
The person driving the carriage happened to be Gu Dahai, Gu Xiliang's uncle.
Seeing Yang Dongmei and the others carrying large and small bags, all neatly arranged, he asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what are you all doing here...?"
He froze before he could finish speaking.
He stared intently at the person behind him, his eyes welling up with tears and reddening: "Big Brother."
Gu Dahai had always respected his cousin.
His lineage originally had several brothers, but some were lost or died young, and he always thought that he was the only one left in his generation.
His brother, Gu Dashan, is in the hospital, and he visits him whenever he has time, but each time the doctor tells him that the chances of him waking up are slim.
This left him utterly devastated.
He hadn't been to the hospital for just over a month, and his cousin was standing right in front of him, completely unharmed. How could he not be excited?
He threw away the bull whip in his hand and went over to hug Gu Dashan tightly: "Brother, you're finally awake."
Gu Dashan was very happy to see his younger brother, whom he had grown up with, as soon as he returned.
Both grown men had tears in their eyes: "Come over for dinner tonight. Let's have a good get-together, brothers."
Gu Dahai nodded heavily.
It took them a while to calm down.
There were other people from Gujia Village on the oxcart, some of whom had never seen Gu Dashan before and were looking at him curiously.
Everyone he met greeted him and offered their congratulations.
Jiang Jinxiu stuffed two ten-yuan bills into Gu Lao Er's hand and whispered, "Second brother, we're all having a reunion dinner tonight. Uncle and his family will also be coming over. Go get some meat."
I need three pounds of pork belly, two pounds of spare ribs, a pig's trotter, and if there's any fish, I'll buy some too. Also, a set of pig offal, both large and small intestines. I'll cook it when I get back.
If we run out of meat, let's buy a chicken and a duck. We're happy today, let's have a good get-together.
"Another pound of lean meat, please. Sis, isn't lean meat your favorite?" Jiang Jinhua interjected from the side.
"I love eating fish too, you little rascal, have you forgotten?"
"Oh, okay." Jiang Jinhua said nothing more.
Gu Xijing pushed the money back into Jiang Jinxiu's hand: "Third sister-in-law, I'll pay for this."
How can they always take advantage of their third brother's wife? This time, let the second wife's family pay.
