Chapter 41: The Iron-Blooded Tenderness of the Republic of China
Because the housekeeper and Dazhu were unfamiliar with the environment, they were delayed on the road for a while before they finally reached the hospital.
Originally, they didn't know where their future son-in-law's ward was, but they knew how to ask someone.
As soon as he looked for it, he ran into Jiang Yu's men.
His men had seen the two men before at the Special Intelligence Bureau and knew their identities clearly. After receiving the news, they sent someone to test them to see if they recognized Jiang Yu from before.
So the housekeeper and Dazhu asked around in the hospital, and when they were almost lost, they finally met a kind nurse who asked them if they knew what the person they were looking for looked like so that she could help them.
Dazhu had never seen his future son-in-law, so of course he didn't know what he looked like, and he couldn't help but look at the housekeeper.
The butler's old eyes rolled around, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Doesn't it have a name? Can't we find it based on the name?"
The nurse explained, "It's okay to have a name, but our hospital also has to do its duty and confirm that you are truly related to the person before we can take you there, right?"
The butler then let down his guard and described the image of the young Jiang Yu he had met a few years ago, which was roughly consistent with the person sent aboard by Jiang Yu's men.
So the result of the test was that Dazhu had never met Jiang Yu, so he could stay, but the housekeeper could not, so he had to find a way to send him away.
Jiang Yu's men immediately took action and arranged a small accident for him.
The housekeeper finally got the ward number of his future son-in-law from the kind nurse. He turned around and took a few steps when suddenly a naughty child playing with bubbles appeared out of nowhere and bumped into his legs.
"Ouch!"
"Uncle!"
The housekeeper's old leg was suddenly injured, and he lost his balance and staggered to fall.
Dazhu was panicking and tried to help him, but he slipped and fell down, waving his arms.
The naughty kid was frightened and instinctively dropped the bottle of bubble water in his hand.
The bottle fell to the ground with a bang, and the soapy water splashed all over the butler's face.
Although the housekeeper closed his eyes subconsciously, he was still inevitably stung by the soapy water.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but unfortunately, when Dazhu fell, he wanted to help him, but he fell down himself and accidentally fell on him.
The housekeeper cried out in tears and almost died on the spot.
Jiang Yu's men happened to be passing by with their men at this time. They recognized them and immediately helped them. While they helped the man up and called a doctor, they grabbed the naughty kid and went to find his parents to settle the score.
The naughty kid is really naughty. He has caused trouble to many patients' families in the hospital in the past few days. He is hated by everyone and dogs. Unfortunately, he has the support of his rich and powerful parents. The victims can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
But this time it didn't work. With Jiang Yu's name, even if the other party knew that the butler had little to do with him, he could only apologize under the insistence of Jiang Yu's men.
In the end, the butler and Dazhu each received a compensation of one hundred dollars. They were too confused to accept it and asked Jiang Yu's men who helped them find a place to settle the dispute, "Can we accept this money?"
"Yes, it's what you deserve." Jiang Yu's subordinates not only asked them to accept the money, but also helped them reimburse the parents of the naughty child for the medical expenses.
Because the housekeeper saw a doctor in time, his eyes were not seriously injured and could be simply rinsed with medicine.
However, the doctor found signs of cataracts in his eyes during the examination. If he is not prevented and treated in advance, his vision may be affected in the future, or even cause blindness.
The housekeeper was horrified when he heard this. Isn't this amblyopia?
It's not uncommon for people in his hometown to become blind due to old age and frailty. He doesn't want to be like this in a few years, so he quickly asks the doctor how to prevent and treat it.
The doctor recommended a pair of eye drops to him and asked him to close his eyes and apply them for three courses of treatment. He should also pay attention to rest and diet. It would be best if he could return to a place with the most suitable climate and soil for recuperation, and he would gradually get better.
The housekeeper was skeptical and tried to use some eye drops. He could indeed feel a cool, refreshing feeling, and the blurry and sore eyes that he had always felt before were relieved a lot.
Then when Rongzhen saw them coming, the housekeeper's eyes were covered with gauze, and he could not see clearly, let alone recognize people.
Rongzhen immediately asked, "What's going on?"
"It's like this, Miss Xu." Jiang Yu's subordinates accompanied him and recounted what happened in the accident.
With Dazhu testifying, it seemed like it was really just an accident.
Rong Zhen thanked Jiang Yu's men, sent them away, and came back to introduce her cheap fiancé to the housekeeper: "Uncle housekeeper, he is Jiang Yu, do you think he recognizes him?"
Aunt Pang and Mr. Li both stopped what they were doing.
Jiang Yu coughed twice while sitting in the wheelchair, raised his face which was wrapped in white gauze, and looked at the housekeeper who was also covered in gauze.
The latter pulled aside the gauze and opened his eyes to take a look. He only saw a rough outline, which seemed vaguely familiar, so he said, "I know him, of course I don't know him. I haven't seen him for a few years. You have grown taller and stronger. Great, great."
Mr. Li loosened his grip on the glasses leg and clapped his hands in agreement, "That's right. When Shen Zhi first came here, he was still a thin and frail boy, but now he's already a young man. It's normal for him to have changed like this."
Aunt Fatty wiped her forehead and eyes and nodded with satisfaction, "Young Master has grown up. It's time for him to get married and have children."
When this was mentioned, the butler immediately perked up.
"That's right, that's right. Why don't we go back and arrange a wedding date so that they can have their lifelong event as soon as possible?"
This way he can go back and recuperate earlier and give an explanation to his master and mistress.
Aunt Pang hit it off with him immediately and couldn't wait to go back and start making arrangements.
After the housekeeper's confirmation, Rong Zhen finally dispelled her doubts about Jiang Yu's identity. While the others were looking for a car, she quietly asked him, "Are you really only twenty?"
Why does she look older than twenty? Is she growing up too fast?
"I don't remember." Jiang Yu did not forget that he was now a person with amnesia.
Rongzhen's focus returned to his amnesia. "What do you remember?"
Jiang Yu rubbed his forehead in distress. "Except for some common sense, everything else is as blurry as seeing flowers in the fog."
Rongzhen felt a little relieved after hearing this.
It seems that the memory can probably be restored, and the plot will return to normal sooner or later.
After the car arrived, Rong Zhen personally pushed Jiang Yu out of the hospital and suggested that he go see an old Chinese doctor first.
Aunt Pang said that famous and skilled Chinese medicine doctors have to make appointments several days in advance, otherwise they will not receive you if you just show up at home without permission.
Rongzhen had no choice but to give up. On the way back, she squeezed into the back seat with Jiang Yu. She looked a little tired, leaned against the window, and fell asleep unknowingly as the car swayed.
Jiang Yu was still perfecting the subsequent arrangements in his mind when he suddenly felt a weight on his legs. He looked down and found a girl sleeping in his arms.
He didn't move for a moment, just looked at her with his eyes downcast.
Rongzhen was half asleep and thought it was the sofa from her previous life. She rubbed it against the sofa and continued to fall asleep.
Jiang Yu looked up and ordered, "Drive slower and pay attention to the road conditions."
The driver responded, and everyone sitting in the front looked back, then immediately turned their heads and smiled in understanding.
Rongzhen felt a little noisy while sleeping, and covered her ears unconsciously, accidentally letting a strand of her hair fall down and fall on her cheek and lips.
The black hair, set against the porcelain-white skin and pink lips, reflected in the man's eyes, gave off a heart-stirring and stunning feeling.
Jiang Yu moved his fingers, picked up the strand of hair and helped it back to its original position. When he withdrew his fingertips, he accidentally touched the smooth skin behind the ear, and a tingling sensation instantly flowed through him.
Rongzhen groaned softly, as if she was woken up.
Jiang Yu withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, turned his head to look out the window, as if attracted by the scenery outside that was receding one after another.
The car slowly drove back to the gate of the mansion. Rongzhen was still asleep. A Cui saw this and wanted to ask Dazhu to carry the young lady to the bedroom upstairs.
Dazhu was about to reach out his hand without thinking, but was pushed away by Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu: "Men and women shouldn't touch each other, let Aunt Fatty do it."
A Cui smiled and pulled Dazhu away, asking him to support the housekeeper.
Aunt Pang followed his instructions and went forward. When she was about to carry the person, she found that she couldn't pull him up. She turned around and saw that Jiang Yu was still holding the person.
"...Master, you can let go now."
Jiang Yu coughed and said, "Okay, be careful and be gentle."
"Don't worry, Master. I know you care about the Madam."
When Aunt Pang's words were heard by A Cui and the others, they all smiled knowingly.
Seeing that the future son-in-law cared so much about the young lady, the housekeeper became more determined to get married as soon as possible and return home early.
Next, under his urging, A Cui Dazhu actively cooperated with Aunt Pang and others to prepare for the wedding.
During this time, Rongzhen was sleeping upstairs. It was not until noon the next day that she woke up completely and felt all the fatigue in her body was gone.
A Cui had already prepared bath water for her and accompanied her to take a hot bath in the house. She changed into a casual padded jacket and kept her hair combed as before.
Rongzhen looked at herself in the mirror and asked A Cui to find a pair of scissors.
Ah Cui realized what she wanted to do and hesitated: "Miss, how about we wait until the housekeeper leaves before cutting it?"
Otherwise, if he finds out, the master and the mistress will definitely know about it later.
The emperor is far away and the sky is high. A Cui is not afraid of being blamed by the master and the mistress, but she is afraid that they will not send money after they know it.
She also wants to get back the 500 yuan she lost.
"It's okay, I'll just cut your bangs thinner first, he won't notice." Rongzhen told her to go ahead and get it.
Ah Cui had no choice but to ask Aunt Pang for a pair of small scissors. She watched Rong Zhen cut her bangs into a thin layer with a few snips, and then heated the scissors to curl them slightly. In an instant, she looked like a different person.
Rongzhen finished and turned back to her with a smile: "Does this look good?"
"Looks great!" A Cui stared at the seal with wide eyes and applauded.
Rongzhen turned around and continued, and also curled her eyelashes to make her eyes look bigger, brighter and more lively.
The more Ah Cui watched, the more surprised she became. She diligently helped out, hoping that once she learned how to do it, the young lady wouldn't have to do it herself anymore.
When the work was almost finished, there was a sudden knock on the door.
A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Xizhen, it's me. Is it convenient for you to come in now? I have something to talk to you about."
Rongzhen first checked her clothes and found nothing wrong, so she asked A Cui to open the door.
It was indeed Jiang Yu outside the door, pushing his wheelchair in by himself.
"What's the matter?" Rongzhen asked, and took the initiative to push him in.
Jiang Yu retracted his gaze from her face and handed her a contract: "I found this in the study. It should have been prepared before. Keep it."
Rongzhen took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a land deed.
It was also the title deed to the mansion where they lived, and the owner's name written on it was Xu Xizhen.
"this……"
