Chapter 1121 What if the disabled boss can’t get better? (16)
Xiang Shichu and Ye Jin's family of three went to Nanjiang, which made the neighbors very envious and curious. They asked Xiang Shichu about their itinerary, asking what was the difference between Nanjiang and their own place, and what interesting attractions there were...
Xiang Shichu didn't expect that everyone was so curious about their outing, but then he thought about it. The concept of travel had not yet emerged at that time, and people generally did not travel far unless they had a compelling reason. Some people only lived within a radius of 10 to 20 miles around their home all their lives, so they were naturally curious about the outside world.
All of a sudden, their family became the celebrities in the neighborhood. Even Ye Jin, who was taciturn and rarely interacted with others, was stopped and questioned by the neighboring men. Little Xiang Nan was no escape either. He was chased by his playmates and asked what fun and delicious food there was in Nanjiang. These questions were the ones that Xiang Nan was most concerned about, and he had a good memory, so he proudly boasted to his playmates, and soon became the leader of the children at the youngest age.
Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi from the Jiang family were several years older than him, and they couldn't help but come over to listen to him bragging. The relationship between the Jiang family and the Ye family had always been awkward. Of course, this was a unilateral awkwardness between Jiang Rushong and Wu Qingxuan towards Ye Jin and Xiang Shichu. This awkwardness also affected Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi's feelings towards Xiang Nan.
In many cases, Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi were very envious of Xiang Nan, because Xiang Nan lived with his brother-in-law and sister, had meat for three meals a day, and had many toys. His requirements were basically met. He was obviously a spoiled child, but what about themselves?
They wouldn't see any meat for ten days or half a month, and their family wouldn't give them any pocket money. They would be scolded by their father from time to time and complained to by their stepmother with sad eyes... Even though they were still young, they felt depressed by such a life.
They often can't help thinking: How nice it would be if their parents were their neighbors Uncle Ye and Aunt Xiang. They are both respected intellectuals, can make a lot of money, have good tempers, and are very fond of children. These are simply the parents that all children want most.
Unfortunately, in reality, their father is a disabled man, their biological mother ran away with someone else, and their stepmother is hypocritical and often tries to sow discord between them and their father...
After listening to Xiang Nan's boasting, Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi returned home and saw Wu Qingxuan bringing out the food. Seeing that the two brothers had returned, she gave them a cautious and flattering smile and said, "You're back just in time. We can have dinner now."
Jiang Yong groaned impatiently. This stepmother is here again, treating him so carefully, as if she has suffered a great injustice. She is so hypocritical, isn't it just to make his father think that he bullied her? She is so scheming!
Jiang Rusong saw the two of them and asked seriously, "Where did you two go to play? I don't know where you went to play after school. Don't you know to come back and help with some housework?"
"Dad, we went to look for Xiang Nan. He and his sister and brother-in-law went to Nanjiang for fun before, and they took a long train ride. Dad, have you been to Nanjiang? Xiang Nan said that you can take a boat there and float on the water. It's so much fun!" Jiang Yi enthusiastically shared with Jiang Rushong the news about Nanjiang that he had heard from Xiang Nan.
He talked a lot, and finally asked Jiang Rushong expectantly: "Dad, can we go to Nanjiang to play too?"
Jiang Rushong opened his mouth and looked into his bright eyes, not knowing how to answer him. In the end, Jiang Yong patted his brother's head and said, "What are you thinking about? Our family doesn't have money to go out and play!"
He is already seven or eight years old and knows the situation at home. He is not as naive as Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi heard what he said, he was immediately disappointed, but he still asked, "Dad, when will you have money?"
Jiang Rusong smiled bitterly and said, "When Dad's leg is healed, we can make money."
"When will Dad's legs get better?" Jiang Yi continued to ask, looking at his legs curiously.
"Dad doesn't know either." Jiang Rushong sighed.
Wu Qingxuan suddenly had an idea. She had been married to Jiang Rusong for two or three years. His leg should be healed soon, right? Then would she be able to get rid of this difficult situation soon and become a pampered lady?
Her numb face suddenly became excited, and her dull eyes immediately brightened: Is the happiness she had always dreamed of finally coming?
After dinner and finishing the housework, Wu Qingxuan finally had time to ask Jiang Rushong: "Rushong, how is your leg recently? Is it still painful? Do you want to go to the hospital again?"
"It still hurts. Before, I only felt pain on rainy days, but now it hurts even on sunny days. It's getting more and more painful. I suspect the condition of my legs has become more serious." Jiang Rushong touched his legs and said with a frown. He now has to endure the pain in his legs almost every day, which makes it difficult for him to eat or sleep well. He looks haggard and looks several years older.
"Then you have to go to the hospital." Wu Qingxuan persuaded quickly. If Jiang Rushong didn't go to the hospital, when would his leg be healed?
"But given the situation at home..." Jiang Rusong said with a wry smile, "Where can I get the spare money to see a doctor?"
Wu Qingxuan disagreed with him: "Rusong, how can I save the money for treating your leg? If your leg is really cured and you recover, won't you be able to find a job and earn real money? By then, I will definitely be able to earn back the money I spent on the treatment. This is a very profitable business."
Jiang Rushong was not as optimistic as she was: "What if I spend money but my leg is not cured? Wouldn't that make things worse for my family? Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi still have to go to school..."
"Impossible! Your leg can definitely be cured!" Wu Qingxuan retorted without hesitation. Didn't Jiang Rushong in her dream cure his leg? He would definitely be cured now, too. She was convinced of this.
Seeing that she was so confident, Jiang Rushong immediately felt some hope in his heart. After all, who doesn't want to be a healthy person and get rid of pain?
So he reluctantly agreed to use the remaining money in his family to go to the hospital to continue to treat his leg injury. In the past few years, it couldn't be cured, but now that medicine has developed a little, maybe there is a way? Or maybe a better doctor came to the hospital? Jiang Rusong thought with beautiful hope.
The couple found some time and went to the hospital to check Jiang Rushong's legs.
As expected, Jiang Rushong met Dr. Wang, a skilled surgical expert. Dr. Wang had retired. Before his retirement, he was an expert at Beijing Hospital. His unit wanted to re-employ him after retirement, but he neglected his only daughter for work when he was young. Now that he is retired, he wants to spend more time with his daughter, so he went to where his daughter and son-in-law worked and accepted the re-employment from the local hospital, which was the hospital Jiang Rushong went to.
