Old Mrs. Wu didn’t want to talk much, and Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t press further.
Xu ng ca out to see Jiang Xiaoxiao and Old Mrs. Wu chatting happily, and only then did she completely relax.
Jiang Xiaoxiao poured a cup of dicinal wine, got up to say goodbye, and went to find Jiang Lei.
Jiang Lei had packed everything and was ready to be discharged; the thought of it made him excited.
He had been holding back for a long ti.
Jiang Laoshi went to handle the discharge paperwork.
Jiang Xiaoxiao’s arrival made Jiang Lei even more excited.
He grabbed Jiang Xiaoxiao and started whispering with her.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know? That day, the person giving trouble, Liu ngxin, is the real mother of the bastard who stabbed . Now she’s been arrested for obstruction of justice, and even her so-called all-powerful father-in-law has been suspended for investigation.
The police just ca to tell that my case is about to enter legal proceedings. That wretch has already been caught at the police station and is trying to fake serious injuries, but Dean Feng had already checked everything thoroughly, so there’s no way he’ll get away with it."
Jiang Lei was overjoyed, thinking back to when he and his father were almost forced into a corner.
He almost agreed.
It was the powerlessness under the pressure of authority.
But the subsequent developnts were gratifying.
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew about this incident, but because of Mr. Feng’s intervention, she only asked about it and didn’t know much about the follow-up. She didn’t expect this outco.
However, indeed, in this matter, she owed the Wu family a great favor.
Jiang Laoshi finished the discharge paperwork, and the three of them imdiately left the hospital. However, before they reached downstairs, soone had already co up to et them.
"Hello, Doctor Jiang! Mr. Wu specifically sent us to take you ho. If you need anything, just let us know. We are at your service anyti."
A man and a woman in suits respectfully took the things from their hands.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, realizing how skilled the Wu family was at pleasing others.
Jiang Laoshi and Jiang Lei were flattered; now, following Jiang Xiaoxiao, they were rising in social standing.
They even experienced the joy and pain of Fan Xiuying’s luxurious car ride.
Once they returned, they got out of the car and vomited thoroughly.
Qin Ming helped his brother-in-law into the house, looking at his pale brother-in-law who had been vomiting, he was full of sympathy.
Yesterday it was the mother-in-law, today it’s the brother-in-law; not everyone can handle such a good car.
He certainly couldn’t.
Jiang Yue was rolling up her sleeves, frying atballs.
The now-walking Nuonuo was sitting on the kang with Jiang Xin’s two daughters, watching their sister play cat’s cradle.
They were watching with great interest.
The yard was filled with the sll of fried atballs.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao entered the yard, she slled it and dashed into the kitchen, picking up a atball with her fingers and throwing it into her mouth.
She was hissing from the heat.
Jiang Yue was both amused and annoyed.
She took a bowl and filled it halfway for her.
"You, just like when you were little. Not afraid of getting burned and setting a bad example for a bunch of kids."
Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Big sister, you got into the Teachers’ University, that’s amazing! When you beco a teacher, who in the family would dare not listen to you!"
Jiang Yue getting into the Teachers’ University was truly a pleasant surprise.
Qin Ming didn’t take the college entrance exam, mainly because it had been too many years since he had touched a textbook. Going to take the exam was impossible; with half-hearted efforts, he couldn’t make it.
Jiang Yue couldn’t help but laugh; her success today was all thanks to her sister.
"Alright, stop with the flattery. Go ahead and go!"
She still had a lot of work to do: frying atballs, tofu, hairtail, and all sorts of New Year’s goods.
With such a major issue in Fan Xiuying’s family, taking care of two patients kept everyone busy.
There was no ti for these preparations.
Jiang Xin was taking care of two kids by herself, washing bedding and cleaning the house, she couldn’t handle it.
Now with Jiang Yue and Qin Ming’s arrival, the crisis was finally alleviated.
"Big sister, what will brother-in-law do in the future?"
Qin Ming is a good person; her big sister is a good woman too, but a long-distance marriage isn’t a solution.
In her past life, her brother-in-law stayed single all his life, not marrying again. In this life, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t just watch them live apart.
Jiang Yue sighed, "It’s unavoidable. Your brother-in-law said he’ll study hard starting this year and strive to get into university by fall. It’s hard to get transferred back; your brother-in-law and I found out that it’s tough to get into the power plant or those factories in Jingbei, as your brother-in-law isn’t a technical expert and doesn’t et the requirents."
She missed her husband, but sotis there was nothing one could do.
Qin Ming didn’t expect to face such an issue, but he decided to fight desperately for this. Without a university degree, his wife and children wouldn’t be by his side.
He felt uneasy inside.
Even though he knew Jiang Yue wasn’t like that, everyone has worries.
Especially Old Wei, who kept nagging in his ear about the serious consequences of a long-distance marriage, which scared him so much that he was determined to study hard.
Jiang Xiaoxiao’s eyes twinkled. The power plant?
In the future, nine and a half out of ten state-owned enterprises would be gone, and the remaining half would likely be restructured.
Qin Ming indeed wasn’t cut out for studying; his education level was barely junior high, and passing a university exam in half a year was impossible.
If Qin Ming could squeeze into a university, anyone could.
She couldn’t help Qin Ming with this, but soon the economic reform policy would be implented. Her brother-in-law didn’t need to cling to the iron rice bowl; he could take a leave from work without pay, which would be a popular approach after the reforms.
Qin Ming doing so business could both take care of the family and keep them from being separated, which was a good choice.
Jiang Xiaoxiao decided to find ti to talk to her big sister and brother-in-law.
Jiang Xin watched Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yue chatting and laughing intimately, feeling a bit left out.
She also wanted to be close with her sisters, but for so reason, whenever her younger sister saw her, she gave her a aningful look and then didn’t talk much.
In recent days, her sister had been sick, and her brother was in the hospital, so she understood it was unavoidable, but back ho, Jiang Xiaoxiao was still indifferent to her.
Jiang Xin felt truly wronged.
Jiang Xiaoxiao used to be very close with her; she didn’t know when it started, but Jiang Xiaoxiao beca closer to the big sister and drifted away from her.
It seed to start after she had just given birth.
Jiang Xiaoxiao grabbed another handful of atballs and, threatened by Jiang Yue’s chestnuts, ran faster than a rabbit! She almost bumped into Jiang Xin.
"Be careful, second sister."
Jiang Xin’s frail body looked a lot weaker than when she had last seen her.
Having been away for two years, and seeing her second sister carrying two kids, one about Nuonuo’s age, she could guess that Qin Dazhi was relentlessly wanting a son.
Jiang Xin clearly hadn’t taken care of herself.
But back then, Jiang Xiaoxiao had helped Jiang Xin, but Jiang Xin couldn’t stand on her own.
The second sister’s lifelong obsession was having a son.
Jiang Xin smiled at her sister, and she quickly returned the smile, "It’s nothing, not that delicate."
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt even worse; her sister had turned into a pushover.
She put on a smiling face even towards her sister, while Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered to argue and went inside, leaving behind the curtain.
"Nuonuo, Ladi, Zhaodi, co and eat atballs, delicious big atballs."
The three children cheered imdiately, surrounding Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Each of them got a atball in their mouth, and their little faces instantly showed satisfied smiles.
Jiang Xiaoxiao bead with delight.
It dispersed the gloom in her heart.
