Having received care from the Jiang family, Shen Mingzhi had no reason to refuse their kindness in visiting her child, so she naturally agreed.
Jiang Guofu walked in and took a look. He wished he hadn't looked, because once he did, he was certain that Jiang Shaozhen hadn't lied. The two children were so cute and pink, they looked exactly like Jiang Shaozhen when he was a child.
He wasn't home when his wife gave birth to their eldest son, and he gave birth to their younger son at home during the Lunar New Year, amidst all the chaos.
Therefore, he remembers Jiang Shaochen's appearance very clearly when he was a child.
Jiang Guofu was somewhat excited and looked at Shen Mingzhi, "Can I hold the baby?"
Although Shen Mingzhi found it strange that Jiang Guofu was so excited about her giving birth, she thought to herself that perhaps older people just like soft and sweet babies.
"Of course." She held the child, but unexpectedly, Jiang Shaozhen picked up the child first. "You rest, I'll take care of it."
He picked up the child and carefully placed him in Jiang Guofu's arms.
Jiang Guofu's originally restless and gloomy expression softened the moment he saw the child.
This child looks exactly like my second son when he was a child!
Jiang Shaozhen didn't speak, but Shen Mingzhi subconsciously glanced at him, and their eyes met.
Would you like some water?
Jiang Shaozhen's face suddenly turned red, and he blurted out something awkwardly.
Shen Mingzhi shook her head, but before she could say anything, Jiang Yinyin's voice rang out again.
"Didn't you all think about this? She and Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping died. Back then, when Big Brother tried to help her, Big Brother died too..."
"Jiang Yinyin!"
Before Jiang Yinyin could finish speaking, Jiang Guofu scolded her by name.
Jiang Yinyin was always the pampered youngest daughter at home, which is why she developed such an arrogant and domineering personality.
"Dad...you actually yelled at me for this woman? I'm telling the truth, I have no evidence whatsoever. She's just a village woman, how did she find our Jiang family's phone number and even find her here, and with these two bastards..."
Before she could finish speaking, she received a sharp slap across the face.
Jiang Guofu's chest trembled with rage. "You keep calling me a country bumpkin and a bastard. Who taught you that? Go home and reflect on your actions!"
I could let it go before, but that bastard she's talking about! He's a descendant of the Jiang family!
Jiang Yinyin covered her face, feeling extremely wronged, but seeing that Jiang Guofu was really angry, she didn't dare to disobey and turned to run away.
But Shen Mingzhi stopped him.
"It's your own business to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors, but you should apologize for hurtful words."
Jiang Yinyin looked at Jiang Shaochen in disbelief.
Jiang Shaozhen remained unmoved.
Jiang Yinyin immediately felt wronged.
Her eldest brother was in the military for many years, so Jiang Shao-chen took care of her more when she was young, which is why she had a better relationship with her second brother.
But now, her father and brother have been beating and scolding her one after another because of a widow, and now they are making her apologize to a widow from the countryside.
This is worse than killing her!
Jiang Yinyin's temper flared up too, "Why should I apologize? Who does she think she is, to deserve my apology!"
Shen Mingzhi patted the child with one hand, but her expression was extremely firm.
Jiang Yinyin can insult her, and she can insult her back.
But she cannot bully her children.
“If your family is willing to spoil you, then I can only go to your school or workplace and ask them if ideological and political education is not widespread, and why no one cares about your bullying and taking advantage of the weak.”
Jiang Guofu blushed. "Jiang Yinyin, this is your sister-in-law. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for sending you to the countryside for re-education!"
Jiang Shaozhen also looked up and said, "Your school classes were indeed a waste of time. I'll talk to your teacher and have them suspended."
Upon hearing that classes were suspended, Jiang Yinyin could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face as she glared fiercely at the culprit lying on the hospital bed!
It's all because of Shen Mingzhi!
After taking a few deep breaths, he mumbled, "I'm sorry!"
After saying that, without waiting for a response, she covered her face and ran away crying.
Jiang Guofu felt sorry for her, but there was nothing he could do; after all, both were his children. He sighed and told Shen Mingzhi to rest well before chasing after her.
The ward fell silent, leaving only Shen Mingzhi and Jiang Shaozhen.
Jiang Shaozhen spoke first, "I'm very sorry about what happened earlier. I will discipline her strictly from now on and I won't let you suffer any injustice."
Shen Mingzhi was not greatly affected by the apology.
Jiang Yinyin's arrogance stems from the courage given to her by her parents and brother. One slap wasn't enough, so she'd slap her twice. If she didn't take a stand, there would be endless trouble like this in the future. She didn't want to die at the hands of a fool like Jiang Yinyin, just like the original owner of this body.
She did what she could, and she could accept and let go of the apology.
However, after this incident, Jiang Yinyin will probably hate her even more, and Shen Mingzhi has no intention of really relying on the Jiang family.
"It's alright." Shen Mingzhi's tone was indifferent, but her gaze towards the child was very tender.
Although she had never been pregnant before, this was the child she risked her life to give birth to.
She originally thought she was just trying to survive, but from the moment she saw these two little lives, all she could think about was how to raise them and how to make them better.
She smiled and said, "I'm the one who's been troubling you all. Now that the baby has been born safely, I can finally relax. I'll be leaving once I'm discharged. I might need your help finding me a place to stay then..."
Jiang Shao Chen's gaze lingered on her for a few seconds. Seeing her weak and pale face, his heart softened. He said, "No rush. Let's get the child's household registration settled first. Otherwise, he'll be an unregistered resident, which will cause problems when he sees a doctor or goes to school."
