Chapter 182 My ankle is sprained, we'll need to rest for three to five months.
Did Jiang Changtian and Gou Qiang sleep together?
Everyone was stunned. Even the experienced head of the intelligence department, Sister Gao, was dumbfounded. At first, she thought it was a quarrel between husband and wife. What had this turned into?
Jiang Changtian angrily said, "Xiao Ye, you crazy woman! What are you talking about?"
"I'm a crazy woman? You're the crazy one! You sleep with men! You like men!"
Jiang Changtian: "If I liked men, would I still marry you?"
"You married me to cover up your attraction to men..."
...
The couple started arguing in front of everyone. The other onlookers looked at each other in dismay. Even the usually eccentric Old Mrs. Gou was stunned and dared not interrupt, afraid of hearing something even more shocking from Xiao Ye's mouth.
Could Jiang Changtian have really slept with her grandson?
When Gou Qiang returned and heard that he had been slept with by the man next door, he was stunned. He said incredulously, "Looking like this, how could any man want to sleep with me?"
"You don't want a perfectly good woman, you want a man? Are you sick in the head?"
...
After all the onlookers dispersed, it remained undetermined whether Jiang Changtian and Gou Qiang had actually slept together or whether they had developed a relationship that went beyond romantic love. This became one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of the Navy Family Compound.
Some people think that they might have some ideas, otherwise Xiao Ye, as a wife, wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
Some people, however, exclaimed that it was impossible, after all, they had seen Gou Qiang's pathetic state with their own eyes, and they did not believe that Jiang Changtian loved Gou Qiang more than his wife.
Li Jianzhi and Qin Xiangxiang, a married couple, went back after watching the drama unfold. Qin Xiangxiang was dumbfounded. She murmured, "I know that our West Building produces some awful people, but I've never seen anything like this before. Jiang Changtian and Gou Qiang, did Jiang Changtian really do something to Gou Qiang? How could he do that?"
Li Jianzhi: "Your uncle also has a male wife from the countryside."
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
"No matter what, let's look on the bright side. At least my wife, Qin Xiangxiang, won't have to worry about being possessed by a ghost from the female family living downstairs." Li Jianzhi touched his nose, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Qin Xiangxiang's fear of ghosts.
Given Xiao Ye's unusual behavior, it's likely that Jiang Changtian and Gou Qiang have shown some unusual tendencies that aroused suspicion. Whether they actually did anything is probably unknown.
Qin Xiangxiang said, "That's true... It's better than Xiao Ye being possessed by a ghost, that was terrifying."
This farce has come to an end. Leaving aside the specific arguments and explanations, the Gou family and Jiang Changtian and his wife must never be neighbors again, and Jiang Changtian, in order to avoid suspicion, does not intend to continue to have contact with Gou Qiang.
After Sister Gao's mediation, Jiang Changtian and his wife moved to the third floor of the east building.
Zhong Li remarked with admiration, "These Xiao Ye and his wife are quite remarkable. Among all the couples who have moved so many times in the residential compound, none can compare to them."
"Normally, unless it's a promotion or transfer, you don't have the right to move at all. My husband, Lao Yang, was stuck there for almost ten years!"
"It hasn't even been three years, and Xiao Ye has already moved three times. That's impressive!"
After Xiao Ye and his wife moved, the middle unit on the first floor became vacant.
Mr. Li and his colleagues have been supporting Feiyan Textile Factory for almost two years, and the factory is now on track. Mr. Li and his colleagues will soon be taking a ship back to Shanghai 316 Textile Factory.
Everyone from the factory went to the port to see them off. Qin Xiangxiang brought her husband, Li Jianzhi, to see off Master Li and the others. She thought that with Master Li, who was full of enthusiasm, leaving, there should be a joyous celebration like fireworks, but Qin Xiangxiang still shed a lot of tears.
"Master Li, I really can't bear to part with you..."
Master Li comforted him, saying, "I'll miss you too. Think about it, now you're a soaring eagle, and in the future, you'll lead the workers to grow and prosper."
"You'll have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders from now on."
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
Damn it, whose fault is this load? It's all thanks to Master Li in front of us.
Master Li left, but Master Meng and two other retired masters remained at Feiyan Textile Factory. Master Meng still wanted to try something new and refused to retire. As for Rong, the quality inspector, she was even more reluctant to retire. Li Jianzhi jokingly called her "Grandma Rong." Master Liao also didn't want to leave and was thinking about making movies and appearing in public.
Master Rong: "Old Li is just unlucky. Couldn't he have waited another six months before leaving? They're about to start filming a movie."
Master Meng: "I feel so embarrassed... I don't even want to film it myself, let someone else do it."
Master Liao: "Making movies is meaningless; it's better to actually engage in production."
...
Qin Xiangxiang had mixed feelings of love and hate towards Master Li. On one hand, she felt that Master Li was really good to her, but on the other hand, she felt that she had been suffering for the past two or three years and really wanted to howl like a mad dog.
He was forced into the position of emperor.
Qin Xiangxiang whispered to Li Jianzhi, "I am like Li Yu, the last ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was forced to become emperor. 'How much sorrow can Xiangxiang have? It is just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.'"
Li Jianzhi: "Daming Lake, Daming Lake is big, there are lotus flowers in Daming Lake."
Qin Xiangxiang: "?"
Li Jianzhi: "There are toads on the lotus flowers; poke them and they hop around."
Qin Xiangxiang: "??????"
"Li Jianzhi?! You're the one who bounces around after being poked!"
Li Jianzhi chuckled: "Why are you reacting so strongly? I was reciting a poem."
"You're so sarcastic, I'll stab you to death."
Li Jianzhi put his arm around his wife's shoulder, thinking to himself that his wife was the ancestor of "Versailles". She kept saying that she was so tired and didn't want to do it anymore, but she did everything very well.
"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on someone, it will first test their sinews and bones, make them hungry and weak, and subject them to setbacks and difficulties..."
Qin Xiangxiang was furious: "Li Jianzhi, if you say it again, if you say it again, the whole family will eat Xiaopang's cooking today!"
Li Jianzhi then admitted his mistake: "Please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again."
The couple bickered and teased each other as they returned to their family compound. On the way, Qin Xiangxiang sprained her ankle. Li Jianzhi carried her to the infirmary, where the military doctor gave her some basic treatment. "It's not serious. She just twisted her ankle and needs to rest for a while."
Qin Xiang thought about crying. Although her sprained ankle wasn't a serious injury, it hurt a lot, so much so that she wanted to cry. She asked, "I can't use my strength and I can't walk. Do I need a wheelchair?"
The military doctor's eyes were vacant: "It's not that serious."
Li Jianzhi: "Lend me a cane."
Military hospitals don't have much of anything, but they have plenty of crutches. There are a lot of falls and injuries in the military, especially on warships. When there are storms, bumps and scrapes are normal on board, and sprains are even more common.
From the perspective of the military doctor, Qin Xiangxiang's twisting of her ankle was not a big deal at all.
Li Jianzhi felt sorry for his wife. Knowing that she was afraid of pain, he couldn't bear to let her suffer. He carried her back on his back, with a pair of crutches in his hand. Qin Xiangxiang had tears of pain on her face. The couple went upstairs in a "miserable" manner, attracting onlookers along the way.
"Did Xiao Qin break his leg?"
"Oh dear, you're even using a cane now?"
"You even used crutches? Did you break your leg?"
...
Qin Xiangxiang has always been someone who avoids hardship and will complain even if there is no trouble. Now that she has really twisted her ankle, she will complain even more. In addition, she is really sad about Master Li's departure, so she sits at home crying with a handkerchief in her hand.
Li Jianzhi said he would make her cream milk cake and personally roast chicken to nourish her body.
Qin Xiangxiang: "It's all because you cursed me that I twisted my ankle! Think of your muscles and bones when you're tired, think of your body when you're hungry, think of your body when you're empty..."
Li Jianzhi's shoulders twitched twice. He tried hard to suppress his laughter. The military doctor had just told him that it was just a minor injury and nothing to worry about, but his wife's pitiful act was quite cute.
"I'll make pork rib soup tonight! I'll go and exchange more meat coupons with people so we can make more bone broth during this time to nourish our family. We can't afford to starve ourselves, right?"
Qin Xiangxiang said, "I want to drink chicken soup, and I also want to drink bone broth."
...
Qin Xiangxiang knew that it wasn't a big deal. After applying medicine to her foot, it barely hurt as long as she didn't touch it. But she also deeply understood that being a cripple wasn't easy!
She twisted her right ankle. It doesn't hurt as long as she doesn't put weight on it, but as a normal person, how can she not use her right ankle?
Therefore, Comrade Xiao Qin can only use crutches now.
Li Jianzhi said, "It will be better in three to five days, but considering how delicate she is, we should let her rest for three to five months."
Qin Xiangxiang didn't argue back after hearing this. "Minister Li, you have won my favor."
Without Li Jianzhi, her attempt to play the victim wouldn't have succeeded. Since her leg was already twisted, she decided to take the opportunity to relax and rest for a while.
Qin Xiangxiang said, "The spruce wood hospital beds that our textile factory made for the wards are finished. As the factory manager, I'll go and try them out first to see how they feel."
Li Jianzhi: "...I admire His Majesty to the point of prostration."
Li Jianzhi started simmering bone broth, then instructed his "lame" wife to watch the fire. He went to the kindergarten to pick up his daughter, Sui Sui, who was three years old. Sui Sui was starting kindergarten on a trial basis, and since she was doing well there, he decided to enroll her in the affiliated kindergarten.
Even if no one picks up or drops off the children, the kindergarten will send them back to their families' homes. If no one is home to look after them, the soldiers will also help look after them.
"Mom! Mom! They all say you broke your leg!" Little Fatty rushed home in a panic, having heard that his mother had broken her leg.
Qin Xiangxiang shamelessly replied, "...Mm."
"Mom, what should we do? Will you be using a wheelchair from now on? When is Dad going to buy a wheelchair? Will I have to push you around in the wheelchair to enjoy the sunshine?"
Qin Xiangxiang was speechless. She really didn't know whether to praise the chubby boy for being considerate or to complain to him, "You little chubby boy, are you cursing your mother?"
"Keep an eye on the fire, we're making bone broth."
Little Fatty: "There's bone broth!"
Puffs of white steam rose from the kitchen, mingling with the rich aroma of bone broth, which was incredibly tempting.
Li Jianzhi carried Sui Sui home, saying, "The bone broth is for your mother to nourish her body."
Little Fatty: "I wish I could break my leg too."
Li Jianzhi said with a dark face, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Director Qin, does your family need a wheelchair?" Gao Rong and Gou Qiang, a married couple, went upstairs to ask. Old Mrs. Gou used to pretend to be lame, and now the Gou family has an unused wheelchair that has been sitting at home piling up things, serving no purpose.
Hearing that Qin Xiangxiang had broken her leg, he thought that if Director Qin needed it, he would lend her his wheelchair.
Li Jianzhi: "..."
For such a minor sprain, it was already outrageous enough that Li Jianzhi swiped a pair of crutches from the military doctor, but now he's even brought a wheelchair.
"A wheelchair?" Qin Xiangxiang was somewhat tempted, but then she remembered that it was the wheelchair that Old Lady Gou had used, so she decided against it.
Qin Xiangxiang said, "I can use my cane."
Gao Rong: "Factory manager, we'll clean the wheelchair. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!"
Gou Qiang: "Yes, please don't be so polite!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
