Despite feeling extremely depressed inside, when faced with well-intentioned offers from strangers, I still had to pretend to be polite and courteous: "No, no, we have chicken soup tonight too."
"This chicken soup is made with top-quality ginseng. It's delicious. Why don't you come and share it with me?"
The father's words had already caught the attention of his children.
Now, the children, sons-in-law, and daughters-in-law of the patients in the next bed all looked at Jiang's father with strange expressions.
Faced with the strange looks these people were giving him, Jiang's father was furious.
Isn't this blatant bullying and arrogance?
"No, no! I don't want to waste the chicken my wife and daughter ordered at the market."
His words and pathetic appearance amused the patient in the next bed: "Fine, whatever."
He was just teasing Jiang's father when he said that.
That Solomon's Seal and Ginseng Chicken Soup was extremely precious, and he was unwilling to share it with Jiang's father.
After the incident, the children of the patient in the next bed turned around and showed concern for their father.
Hearing these chattering sounds, Jiang's father's face turned ashen, and he immediately turned his head away, not wanting to look at these people any longer.
Seeing her father looking downcast, Jiang Yimei quickly went over to ask, "Dad! What's wrong?"
"Don't touch me. If you really care about me, then find a good family to marry into."
Jiang's father became temperamental and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although it was a kind remark, Jiang Yimei could tell that her father's words had a hidden meaning.
He just blames Jiang Ze for being useless and wants her to marry a rich man so that he can save face.
She would never let her parents' wishes dictate her marriage; absolutely not.
Since her father was being temperamental, she decided to let him be; she couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
Seeing his daughter leave, Jiang's father became even angrier.
Unfortunately, he had just undergone surgery on his right foot and could not leave his "small plot of land" for the time being.
Jiang's mother witnessed the entire process.
If it were her, she would have said the same thing her husband just said.
This daughter is so stubborn, insisting on clinging to one person. I wonder what kind of spell Jiang Ze cast on her, making her so infatuated, unable to see reality or her direction.
...
At night, the aroma of the Solomon's Seal and Ginseng Chicken Soup next to the hospital bed filled the room, making one's mouth water.
Old Jiang, who was drinking ordinary chicken soup, smelled the aroma and heard the sizzling sounds of people enjoying their food. He was immediately annoyed and then slammed his chopsticks down, saying, "I'm not eating anymore, I'm not eating anymore."
Jiang Yimei leaned over and looked at the insulated lunchbox. She noticed that the chicken soup and chicken inside had hardly been touched, and couldn't help but urge, "Dad, there's still a lot left. Have some more."
I'm not in the mood to eat.
Jiang's father was depressed and seemed to be preoccupied with something.
Jiang Yimei was exasperated by this old man; he was truly difficult to please.
Since she didn't want to eat, she and her mother divided the food together.
Seeing that his daughter ignored him and picked up her chopsticks to eat his chicken and drink his chicken soup, Jiang's father immediately cried out, "Yi Mei, you are my only daughter. You must work hard and make something of yourself!"
In other words, it means, "You must bring honor to your father."
Jiang Yimei felt only mentally exhausted.
Sometimes I feel that she really can't take care of this old man.
After all, he's my dad, and he just had surgery and is still in pain. It's best to stay calm and make concessions where necessary: "Dad! Don't worry, I'll work hard. You should eat some chicken and drink some chicken soup to help you recover."
