Shen Mingzhi dug until it was almost dark before she started to stop.
"My dad asked me to pick you up and take you back to the Jiang family home for dinner. The photocopies of your household registration book are all ready. Come to my house to pick them up and have dinner with me." Jiang Shaozhen watched as she packed the herbs firmly into the bamboo basket and covered it with a cloth.
Shen Mingzhi was reluctant to see Jiang Qing and Jiang Yinyin, but since Jiang Guofu personally invited her to have a meal, she couldn't refuse.
"Okay." She said, picking up the carrying pole that was placed to the side.
Jiang Shaochen placed Jiang Zhou in the bamboo basket, then took the carrying pole from her with his free hand, and handed Jiang Zhou to her, saying, "Put him in the bamboo basket, I'll carry him."
Shen Mingzhi didn't refuse; she was indeed very tired... Since he was willing to help, she didn't bother to be polite.
Shen Mingzhi was still a little indignant as she put Jiang Nian in the bamboo basket and watched him pick it up with ease.
Why isn't she that strong?
Jiang Shaozhen put her medicine in the car, then drove the mother and her two children back together.
Throughout the journey, Shen Mingzhi was exhausted and leaned against the car without saying a word.
Jiang Nian was sleeping on the car seat, while Jiang Zhou was in Shen Mingzhi's arms, playing with her towel.
Jiang Shaochen occasionally glanced back and saw her exhausted face, wondering why she had to suffer like this.
The car drove into the city.
Just as Shen Mingzhi was feeling drowsy, the car suddenly stopped.
She woke up with a start and instinctively reached out to protect Jiang Zhou, who was sleeping on the car seat.
Jiang Shaozhen stuck his head out of the car window and saw that it was Jiang Yinyin and Song Wanyin who suddenly jumped out to stop the car. He immediately frowned and said to Jiang Yinyin, who had run to the car, "Are you tired of living?!"
"I was just afraid you wouldn't have seen it. Wanyin and I just finished shopping and we're so tired!" Jiang Yinyin happily opened the car door, but when she saw Shen Mingzhi and her child in the car, along with two bamboo baskets and a carrying pole, she immediately flew into a rage.
"Why is she in Dad's car! And why did she bring that smelly bamboo basket up here! It stinks in the car!" she grumbled incessantly.
Shen Mingzhi knew she sweated a lot and smelled bad, but she was still furious when someone said the bamboo basket smelled like manure.
It seems that it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.
“There’s no room for you. Walk back yourselves. If you’re too tired to shop, then don’t bother.” Jiang Shaozhen turned to Shen Mingzhi and said, “Close the door.”
“Shao Chen…” Song Wanyin spoke at this moment.
Before Shen Mingzhi could open the car door, Jiang Yinyin had already squeezed into the car and was even looking out for Song Wanyin, saying, "There's no one sitting in the passenger seat, you can get in first."
"Can I come in? I also wanted to talk to you about your transfer." Song Wanyin stood by the car, not hearing Jiang Yinyin come in.
Ignoring Jiang Shaozhen and Song Wanyin, Jiang Yinyin squeezed Shen Mingzhi as she entered, saying, "Sit a little further in. Can't you just put your child in the bamboo basket? It's so annoying! You're taking up so much space in my car!"
"If you speak rudely to her again, I'll throw you out and you can walk back yourself!" Jiang Shaozhen warned from the driver's seat.
"Sister Wanyin, get in the car quickly! I'm so hungry, I want to go back for dinner." Jiang Yinyin ignored him and continued to try to please Song Wanyin.
"Get in the car, my wife and kids are tired." Jiang Shaozhen said indifferently.
Upon hearing his words, Song Wanyin's fingers trembled slightly. She silently opened the car door and got into the car.
After she got into the car, Shen Mingzhi smelled a fragrance; it was very faint, but very pleasant.
He unconsciously sized up Song Wanyin.
Today she wore a white, sleeveless floral dress with pale yellow petals printed on it, and her hair was styled in soft curls; she looked fashionable and beautiful.
Song Wanyin is also fairer-skinned than the average girl.
"Looking is useless. With that outfit and perfume, I wonder how many drugs you would sell to earn that much." Jiang Yinyin's mocking voice rang out.
Shen Mingzhi looked away without replying.
"You're itching to say something?" Jiang Shaozhen asked her coldly as he drove.
"Wanyin, I bought some high-heeled sandals today. You said they look especially pretty on me. I'm going to wear them to take pictures tomorrow. Want to come with me? I know a friend who studied abroad and brought a camera back with him. We can take pictures anytime. We've arranged to go to the Lotus Garden to take pictures." Jiang Yinyin deliberately ignored Jiang Shaochen and leaned on the front seat, speaking to the silent Song Wanyin.
Song Wanyin hummed in agreement. "The lotus flowers are indeed blooming beautifully now. I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow."
“Take a few pictures too. I heard that camera costs tens of thousands of yuan. It’s really powerful,” Jiang Yinyin said in an exaggerated tone.
After saying that, she took out a pair of high-heeled sandals from the shoebox, waved them in front of Shen Mingzhi, and then asked Song Wanyin, "What color skirt do you think I should wear with this?"
"If there are any shops nearby, you can bring a few more outfits and take photos wearing them in different ways," Song Wanyin suggested gently.
Shen Mingzhi leaned back in her seat, watching Jiang Zhou sleeping in the bamboo basket.
They arrived at the Jiang family's residence.
Jiang Yinyin got out of the car first, took Song Wanyin's hand, and insisted on pulling her into her home for a meal.
Shen Mingzhi carried Jiang Nian out of the car, while Jiang Shaochen held Jiang Zhou in his arms. After Jiang Yinyin and the others went inside first, he asked, "How many sets of clothes do the two children have? Have you prepared for autumn and winter?"
"Isn't it too early to be thinking about autumn and winter now?" Shen Mingzhi asked unconsciously.
"It's getting late, let's go inside. You can take a shower later. If you don't have any clothes, I'll get you a couple of Jiang Yinyin's clothes." Jiang Shaochen carried the child into the house.
Shen Mingzhi was covered in sweat, so she couldn't just sit down to eat without washing up.
When she went to take a shower, Jiang Shaochen helped her get clothes from Jiang Yinyin.
Shen Mingzhi was halfway through her shower when there was a knock on the bathroom door, and Aunt Wang's voice came from outside, "The second young master asked me to bring you his clothes."
"Okay, thank you." Shen Mingzhi opened the door and reached out to take it.
A V-neck floral dress that looks quite new.
Without thinking much about it, she washed and dried herself off and put it on.
As she stepped out of her room, she heard Jiang Yinyin's anxious voice coming from downstairs, "My newly bought dress is gone!"
“I gave it to your sister-in-law,” Jiang Shaozhen replied, sitting on the sofa drinking water.
Shen Mingzhi was speechless... She was too embarrassed to go down now.
"Second brother! This is a brand new one, can't you see it?!" Jiang Yinyin was furious, but she only dared to vent her anger and didn't dare to lay a hand on Jiang Shaochen.
"I only gave it to your sister-in-law because I saw it was a new one you bought," Jiang Shaozhen said indifferently, then picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
Jiang Yinyin stomped her foot in anger, "You did this on purpose?!"
"Yeah, who told you to show off the whole way?" Jiang Shao Chen leaned back on the sofa.
Jiang Yinyin was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, spun around in place, and took a deep breath.
Song Wanyin immediately spoke up, "Yinyin, don't be angry. Didn't I buy one too? I'll give you mine."
