Hearing Jiang Guofu say that, Shen Mingzhi felt a warm feeling well up in her heart, and she murmured, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. Now that you're married to Shao Chen, I consider you my wife. Your courtyard house isn't safe, so I had Aunt Wang move all your things to the Jiang family's house," Jiang Guofu told her.
Jiang Shaochen dotes on his wife; he lets her have her way when she makes a fuss.
Now look what's happened; the indulgence has caused problems.
If it weren't for Aunt Wang informing them, Shen Mingzhi would have been in serious trouble today. If she had been criticized and denounced again, she would have had no chance of earning money in the future.
Although Shen Mingzhi was unwilling, she decided to listen to him for the time being.
When they arrived at the Jiang family home, Jiang Shaozhen boiled water for her and added a lot of floral water before telling her to take a bath.
"I put some floral water in the water, it should stop the itching. I'll turn on the air conditioner for you, so you can rest after you're done showering," Jiang Shaozhen told her.
Shen Mingzhi hugged the clothes he had found for her.
It was his shirt and his pants.
"I understand." Shen Mingzhi was also very tired, and the fear still lingered. She really wanted to rest for a while and not think about anything.
Jiang Shaozhen left the room and closed the door, his face darkening.
After going downstairs, he saw Jiang Guofu standing by the phone making a call. He walked over and asked, "Have you found out?"
“I asked around… The Song family sent people to Zhang Ping’s house earlier. I suspect that the Song family is behind these two causing trouble here. Song Wanyin has been with you since she was a child, and there have been rumors everywhere that you two will get married. Now that you have married Zhizhi, the Song family feels that they have lost face and also wants to make our family look bad.” Jiang Guofu’s face was very serious.
Jiang Shao Chen clenched his fist at his side. "I heard from Sister Wang that Yin Yin went to the courtyard house with Song Wan Yin today."
"Yinyin is simply outrageous!" Jiang Guofu was instantly enraged.
I've already told her that Shen Mingzhi's child is Jiang Shaochen's, but she's still stirring things up!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Yinyin returned, beaming with joy.
As soon as she entered the house, she noticed that her father and second brother looked unwell, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two?"
Jiang Guofu stepped forward and slapped her across the face. "You're still seeing Song Wanyin, aren't you?! I'm warning you, if you get that close to her again, I'll break your legs!"
He had never hit Jiang Yinyin before; this was the first time.
Jiang Yinyin was stunned, then burst into tears, "Dad! She and I have always been friends, and you've never hit me before, so what's wrong with you now!"
"What's wrong? The Song family is plotting against us behind our backs, so what?! Today they even got your sister-in-law into the police station! You traitor, you even harmed your second brother's wife, I'm afraid you won't spare us either?!" Jiang Guofu really didn't expect the Song family to be so vicious.
Shen Mingzhi was just an ordinary woman. If anyone was at fault, it was her son's fault, but they kept blaming Shen Mingzhi.
First, they had Zhang Ping's mother smear her, and when that didn't work, they went to the military compound and the police station to report her. They're trying to ruin her!
Jiang Shaozhen walked up to Jiang Yinyin and said with a stern face, "Jiang Yinyin, let me tell you, if you are with Song Wanyin again and speak rudely to Zhizhi, I will also take action against you! Also, from now on, if you dare to say a word against her and her child living in the Jiang family, you can get out!"
Jiang Yinyin never expected that in just one morning, she would become an unwanted member of this family.
But faced with her second brother's terrifying gaze, she dared not resist.
"I've put up with you for far too long. Who I marry has absolutely nothing to do with you. If you're so concerned about this, you should worry about yourself!" Jiang Shao Chen said, then turned and went upstairs.
Back in the room, he saw that Shen Mingzhi was already asleep, so he went over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Seeing that her exposed arms were covered in mosquito bites, he felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.
The Song family, relying on being the district head, has been suppressing the Jiang family in various ways... He has to settle this score with the Song family!
Shen Mingzhi slept very soundly.
But when she woke up and saw the unfamiliar surroundings, she still felt uncomfortable.
She still prefers that courtyard house, where she felt free and at ease.
After sitting for a while, Jiang Guofu opened the door and came in carrying the child. Seeing that she had woken up, he smiled and said, "You're awake. Are you hungry? I'll have Aunt Wang steam two dishes for you."
"What time is it now?" Shen Mingzhi asked him.
Although she was puzzled by Jiang Guofu's fondness for his child, she thought that many elderly people love children, so she didn't think much of it.
“It’s 2:30 in the afternoon. You were too stressed this morning, so you slept very soundly. We didn’t wake you for lunch.” Jiang Guofu put Niannian down next to her bed and said to her, “Look how cute Niannian is.”
Shen Mingzhi nodded, looking at Jiang Guofu with gratitude in her eyes, "Thank you for helping me."
“Silly child, you are Shao Chen’s wife. Now that we have a marriage certificate, a birth certificate for the child, and the child’s household registration is with our Jiang family, we have an obligation to protect you and uphold your reputation,” Jiang Guofu said gently.
Shen Mingzhi had never been treated well by her relatives in either of her lives, and Jiang Guofu's kindness made her feel a lump in her throat.
"I was so willful before, aren't you angry with me?" She must have disappointed him by leaving without saying goodbye.
“That’s Yinyin’s fault too. She’s always targeting you, her sister-in-law. It must be hard for you to be around her. I understand you.” Jiang Guofu spoke gently. Shen Mingzhi had given birth to two children for the Jiang family, and he was tolerant of everything about her.
The Jiang family has two sons, one of whom sacrificed his life, and now Jiang Shao Chen is also seriously ill. Although he is usually fine, if Shen Ming Zhi can stay with him, when he has an attack, it will be like a normal matter between husband and wife, and there will be no need to worry at all.
The biggest fear now is that Shen Mingzhi will abandon him, and he'll have to endure his relapse later. If he were to defile another woman, the Jiang family's reputation would be truly ruined.
Shen Mingzhi lowered her eyes, "But my child is someone else's..."
“You don’t need to worry about this. Right now, your main focus is on getting better. As for your situation, the Jiang family is working on a solution. I heard from Shao Chen that you enjoy doing business. Once we’ve sorted things out, you can continue doing what you love. Right now, the main thing is for you to stay with us and wait for us to take care of everything,” Jiang Guofu said.
He had just finished speaking when Jiang Shaozhen brought in a bowl of egg drop soup.
"Drink this as soon as you wake up. Aunt Wang specially cooked it for you, with lard and brown sugar added. It smells very good," Jiang Shaozhen said to Shen Mingzhi, carrying the bowl to the bedside.
Shen Mingzhi felt a wave of fear washing over her, but was deeply moved by their care and protection.
She reached out and took the bowl, looked at the egg drop soup inside, and whispered her thanks again, "Thank you."
