Seeing that her daughter was even more dazed and unresponsive than usual, Fang's mother felt a pang of anxiety and quickly went out to call the doctor.
"Doctor, please take a look at my daughter. She doesn't seem the same as usual. Is she delirious from the fever?"
This is a military hospital, and the doctor she called here knows about Fang Siyue's situation.
The doctor, with a solemn face, examined Fang Siyue and said to Fang's mother in the corridor, "Auntie, Fang Siyue is fine now, but we don't know when she developed a fever. When she was brought to the hospital, her temperature was 40 degrees Celsius. We need more precise instruments to determine the extent of the damage to her brain."
"However, logically speaking, since she didn't have any convulsions and has woken up, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"If you're worried, could you take her to the provincial hospital for a check-up when you have some free time?"
Fang's mother was on tenterhooks the whole time, and sighed twice.
Fang Siyue had fully recovered by now, and smiled sweetly at her, opening her mouth to call out, "Mom, I'm hungry!"
The mother's previously worried face immediately broke into a smile, and she quickly said, "It's good that you're hungry. Yueyue, what do you want to eat? Mom will buy it for you."
When it comes to food, Fang Siyue really gets hungry.
Lu Xiangjin was ambitious and had many tasks on weekdays, often being dragged out to restaurants by others. When she was with him and saw the food, she couldn't help but recall the taste of the food she had eaten before.
She restrained herself before whispering, "I want to eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and tofu pudding..."
“Okay, okay,” the mother-in-law readily agreed.
After receiving their injections and having a meal at the hospital cafeteria, the mother and daughter headed home.
Along the way, they encountered familiar family members, whose expressions of amusement and schadenfreude fueled the anger in Fang's mother's heart, causing her to pull her daughter along as quickly as possible.
Just as he arrived at his doorstep, he saw the wife of one of the men's battalion commanders carrying some things.
Mrs. Fang frowned. "Sister-in-law Zhang, it's fine for you to visit, but why are you bringing all this stuff? Aren't you trying to make my husband make a mistake?"
Aunt Zhang laughed heartily, "It's different this time. I'm here on someone else's behalf to arrange a marriage for your Yueyue, so of course I have to bring some things."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper subconsciously looked at the neighbors on the left and right, and sure enough, many people stopped to watch.
Her expression wasn't good. "Sister Zhang, are you joking? My daughter loves herself, but who would want her?"
"Oh, Sister-in-law Fang, everyone has their own destiny. The son-in-law I'm going to tell you about will definitely make you happy!" Aunt Zhang said with a smile. "Why don't we go inside and talk?"
The housekeeper nodded and stepped aside to let the person in.
I washed an apple for my daughter and told her to eat it while watching TV, while she went to the side hall to talk with Aunt Zhang.
“Sister-in-law Zhang, my husband and I have already decided to support her for the rest of her life. Given her situation, she either won’t be able to find a good husband, or she’ll suffer if she marries into a wealthy family. It’s better for her to stay at home. So, no matter who you’re talking about, we will not agree to it,” said the mother first.
How many men could possibly be considered attractive to the couple? A normal person wouldn't be interested in their own daughter, would they?
She has that much self-awareness.
"Commander Lu, have you heard of him, sister-in-law? He's the youngest regimental commander in his early twenties who was transferred here recently. His younger brother is a battalion commander here too," Sister-in-law Zhang said with a smile.
Fang's mother was taken aback. They had all lived in the family compound for many years. While not everyone in the entire military region knew them, people in the family compound could attest to their general situation, especially these outstanding and hardworking young people.
There has been a major reshuffle in the military recently, with a regiment being parachuted in and talented individuals from all over the country being temporarily seconded.
The family compound had been in turmoil for a while, so of course she had heard of this Commander Lu.
He became a regimental commander at a young age thanks to his military achievements, but he was still unmarried in his twenties. Many people eagerly offered to introduce him to potential partners, but he wouldn't take the bait. Because of this, the story of the Lu brothers was repeatedly brought up.
The most popular gossip among the family members was that the Lu family had few descendants.
"Him?" The mother couldn't believe it. If her daughter wasn't foolish, Lu Xiangjin was more than enough to be her son-in-law. "Sister-in-law, you're joking, right?"
"There are so many beautiful female soldiers in the cultural troupe, and there are also many smart and clever girls in the family compound. It's not going to be our Yueyue's turn," the mother immediately shook her head and said.
"Why can't it be impossible? Commander Lu personally bought these gifts and asked me to deliver them to propose marriage!" Aunt Zhang was also getting anxious. "Xiao Zheng, it was Commander Lu's sister-in-law who contacted me and asked me to be the matchmaker. How could this be fake?"
"And it seems they're really keen on this, thinking the wedding will proceed as planned so their sister-in-law and the division commander won't lose face."
“But, do they know about my Yueyue’s situation? If they know, why did they still come to propose marriage? I’m not at ease with them,” Fang’s mother was tempted, but she always felt that this matter was strange.
"Putting aside whether my family agrees or not, I need to know why Commander Lu wants to marry my Yueyue."
Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "He said he could become your son-in-law and be supervised by your sister-in-law and your superiors. He also said that he is a soldier and cannot be by Yueyue's side all the time, but whenever he is at home, he will never let Yueyue suffer in the slightest."
"What is he after?" Fang's mother felt even more uneasy.
They initially agreed to Chu Qian's marriage into the family because they wanted to keep him under their noses and ensure Yueyue had a biological child. Now, Lu Xiangjin could completely fill the void, but he's just too outstanding!
They can't let others suffer.
Aunt Zhang continued, "Commander Lu said that he used to have a sweetheart he was about to marry, but she went on a mission and didn't come back. He was planning to dedicate his life to the military, but when he went to see his division commander a few times and saw Yueyue, his previously dormant heart was once again filled with the urge to get married and protect her."
