After Fu Jing recovered, she wanted to stay at the Fu Mansion for a while, but Tan Fuya refused outright, saying she didn't want to see her youngest daughter right now.
Liu Yumin simply said, "Keep taking your medicine. I'll give you acupuncture again in three days to see if you need to change your medication. You can go back now."
She could be affectionate and throw a tantrum with her own mother, but looking at Liu Yumin's serious face, Fu Jing felt extremely guilty and repeatedly agreed.
After Fu Jing and her family left, Tan Fuya finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that if she said any more, she would give herself away.
Only Zhu Fanfan was furious. Every time she saw Fu Jing, she wanted to kill her. Whether it was because of the original owner of the body or herself, she was unwilling to let Fu Jing's family get their comeuppance. Unfortunately, with her small arms and legs, she couldn't do anything. When she grew up, she would see how she dealt with them.
As if sensing Zhu Fanfan's thoughts, Liu Yumin said, "Sister-in-law, would you mind if Sister Xu went to Fu Jing's apartment building to inquire about their medication situation?"
Tan Fuya: ...
She thought Old Fu was right. She had never been good at judging people. No one had told her that Madam Zhu was the kind of person who was always stirring up trouble at her age. Don't forget that Fu Jing was her own daughter. How could she tell a mother that she wanted to see her daughter suffer? Wasn't she afraid of being beaten?
Liu Yumin asked again, "Is it convenient?"
This time, Tan Fuya replied without hesitation, "Convenient."
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; that water has frozen in her heart. She's been heartbroken for a long time. Oh well, she'll just treat it as a casual concern from a regular relative.
Xu Jie was naturally happy to do so. Every day, after tidying up the house, she would go out and even got to know an older woman in Fu Jing's apartment building. When she couldn't go, she would ask that older woman to take the shift so as not to miss a single piece of news.
In front of Tan Fuya, the news that Sister Xu brought back was conventional, only saying that the medicine was a bit bitter and Fu Jing was about to vomit from drinking it.
When they arrived at Liu Yumin's room, the conversation flowed like a never-ending river.
“Sister Liu, you don’t know, your medicine tastes awful, and it’s also a bit fishy and smelly. The neighbors who know about it keep complaining, and those who don’t think someone has put a chamber pot outside. When they pass by Fu Jing’s place, they always mutter: ‘This is the family that eats excrement as medicine.’ Now the whole building is talking about it. Fu Jing ate excrement to have a son.”
Sister Xu spoke with great vividness and immersion, as if she were there herself. She was a member of the Fu family, remember, the Fu family, not the Xue family. After Fu Jing met Xue Fu, she did things that constantly humiliated the Fu family. People who knew her at the time often ridiculed the Fu family's upbringing, and some even used it to attack the master. If the master hadn't been mentally strong, he would have been affected.
"No one can stand the smell of that medicine. Fu Jing didn't waste a single drop and drank it while pinching her nose. Xue Fu didn't want to drink it, but Luo Xing forced him to drink it after crying and cursing. After drinking it, he kept vomiting and even vomited up his bile."
Of course, Xue Fu was in a very bad situation. His mother and daughter-in-law went crazy trying to have a boy, which ironically united them against Xue Fu. Xue Fu's lack of cooperation offended their shared interests, and naturally, he couldn't win against them.
After Sister Xu left, Zhu Jiabao disagreed, saying, "Wife, we don't have any deep-seated hatred with the Xue family. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Xue Fu and Fu Jing are ordinary people, while the soldiers are only there to protect the people; how could they possibly cause trouble for them?
Liu Yumin rolled her eyes at Zhu Jiabao and said, "Don't meddle in things that aren't your business."
The Xue family is definitely involved in the needles in Fanfan's body; it was murder. She had recovered some of her inner strength and was originally going to suck the needles out of Fanfan's body, but Fu Jing wasted her time. Fanfan will have to suffer for some time. She was already in a bad mood, and no one could make amends to Fu Jing. She only wanted to teach her a lesson; not killing her was already her limit.
For a doctor, especially a descendant of imperial physicians, killing and saving lives are equally simple. She has no intention of punishing bad people with the law. She deals with bad people directly to prevent them from harming good people. If Fanfan were not a relative of the Xue family, would she be so easy to talk to?
The next acupuncture session will be a regular one. Although it will help Fu Jing recover faster, she will suffer some pain. Fu Jing doesn't deserve her wasting her internal energy.
Zhu Jiabao quickly explained, "Okay, okay, I don't care. The military called; there's an urgent matter that requires me to go back. Are you alright here by yourself?"
After the war was won, these veterans received corresponding official positions. However, because of his wife's situation, he requested to retire, but it was never approved. He was only allowed to rest temporarily.
Liu Yumin naturally had no problem: "I'm fine now. I can't go back until Fu Jing gets pregnant. Go back and complete the adoption procedures, and tell the director to process my retirement. I want to raise my granddaughter at home from now on."
Zhu Jiabao naturally agreed: "The child is still young and can't be left alone. My salary can support you. As long as you're happy, anything is fine."
Zhu Fanfan gave her grandfather a rare kind look, and Zhu Jiabao's heart softened. She was the only descendant of the Zhu family, and he really couldn't bear to part with his soft and tender granddaughter.
Whether she was willing or not, Zhu Jiabao still left. The Fu family fell into a life of gossip every day, making Zhu Fanfan stare at Sister Xu with bright eyes every day, and couldn't help but gloat when she heard about the Xue family's miserable situation.
Sister Xu said that the Xue family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were constantly causing chaos and misery for Xue Fu, leaving him with no time to scold or beat his younger siblings.
The good times didn't last long. Xue's mother still managed to find some time. Fu Jing and Xue Fu had been drinking the medicine for several days. Perhaps they had resigned themselves to their fate, and they actually got used to the taste. They stopped vomiting until their faces turned green. Once the two of them calmed down, Xue's mother no longer had to worry about them. Only then did she realize that she hadn't seen Zhao Di for a long time.
So he called Zhao Di back and took the opportunity to scold her a few times. The more he scolded her, the more addicted he became, and he started hitting her again. This time, Zhao Di learned her lesson and ran away while shouting that she wouldn't dare to do it again.
Xue Fu had a bad feeling and quickly tried to stop Zhao Di, but she ran away. When he went out, he saw Zhao Di talking to Sister Xu, who was holding a handful of melon seeds. When she saw him, she asked, "It's been several days, how are you, young master?"
Xue Fu could only greet her, saying to Zhao Di, "You silly child, your grandma only said a few words to you, why do you still want to run away from home? Stop making a fuss and come home with me."
After saying that, he turned to the people around him and said, "Please excuse the child, everyone. We've spoiled him. Please go home!"
After everyone left, Sister Xu had no choice but to go to Fu Jing's house. After greeting them, she said directly, "I came here about the enrollment of the two sisters, Zhao Di and Lai Di. Director Fu said that the Fu family will take care of the children's schooling and living expenses from now on, since they are half Fu family blood."
Naturally, Xue's mother disagreed: "Girls should stay at home and do housework. If they go to school, who will cook and wash clothes? Our Xue family doesn't support idlers."
Zhao Di immediately stated, "I will do the housework before going to school, I can come back to cook lunch, and I will clean the house in the evening so that it won't be messy."
Xue's mother still objected: "No way!"
Sister Xu gave a forced smile; even capitalists in the old society didn't exploit workers this badly. The Xue family is really something.
