I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 264 - 261: Picking Pomegranates

The person was delivered and is undergoing emergency treatment. The nurse asked her to pay the fees, but Jiang Mingyue timely showed her credentials, causing the nurse to shut up immediately.

Jiang Mingyue pondered whether to inform Jiang Yihai. Naturally, she should inform him, but she didn’t want to see that guy.

"Ming Yue? It really is you." Jiang Shuangyi passed by here, glanced unintentionally, and spotted someone looking like his sister.

Just saying, her luck is that good, when sleep comes, someone hands her a pillow.

Jiang Mingyue quickly explained the situation briefly, but this person’s focus was on: 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Ming Yue, are you going to the Southern Institute? It’s all old men inside there; the work isn’t friendly for girls. If you want a job, you can talk to me. The hospital just has two openings for nurses. I’ll talk to the dean and get you in. You’d definitely be competent. If you don’t like nursing, I can help find something else. It’s definitely better than that."

Jiang Mingyue: "...Second brother, I really like my current job."

If she doesn’t express her stance, this guy will definitely worry like an old mother.

"...Like, you like it? Fine then, keep working. If one day you don’t want it, let your second brother know."

What a good brother! The original host used to be afraid of this second brother, always liked that big brother who was fake nice. Truly a little girl’s nature, likes those who speak kindly, can’t distinguish what’s inside, can’t accept cold faces.

"You’re telling me to inform Jiang Yihai, right? Leave it to me." Then they saw this second brother doctor wave his hand to someone, and immediately a fair youth ran over.

"Xiao Ma, go..." He briefly instructed, and the person disappeared like the wind.

Zhou Ye eventually gave birth to a daughter. Anyway, the person was rescued, and after that, she had nothing to do.

Jiang Mingyue prepared to say goodbye to her second brother and sister-in-law and leave. Passing a yard, she saw a pomegranate tree. Now, all the pomegranates were pink-pink, at first glance, they were incredibly sweet, juicy, and refreshing.

Oh! Why does it seem familiar?

Jiang Mingyue’s mind suddenly recalled a few fragments.

Wow! This is the pomegranate tree that the original owner claimed as their private property.

The original owner used to come to the hospital to find Xu Ya, loved this tree most, but due to Xu Ya, and being little, no one contested with her. When autumn came, the fiery red pomegranates were very tempting, no one would snatch from a child, and it was implicitly known to be the original owner’s tree.

Jiang Mingyue paused for a moment, wanted to pick some but was held back by a sense of shame.

"Cough cough... You’re Doctor Jiang’s sister, right?" A doctor passed by.

Jiang Mingyue thought, he has two sisters, how should I know which one you’re talking about?

The young male doctor saw her not replying, assumed she agreed, and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"You want to pick pomegranates, right? Then pick quickly. Doctor Jiang acts like a child warding off a bunch of kids sneaking in to steal food to guard the pomegranate tree for you."

Pomegranates, huh, that must be her.

"Will it be bad if I pick some?"

Jiang Mingyue felt it was certainly her illusion, otherwise, why did she see the young male doctor with a look of: ’Please quickly pick them’ expression, though it was just a moment.

"No, we doctors often commute between inpatient buildings, seeing these uneaten pomegranates is truly a torture."

"Why can’t you eat them? There’s no name on them."

"Pfft!" The male doctor directly laughed at her furrowed brow and pondering look.

"There’s no name written, but we’re all afraid of Doctor Jiang. If he says it’s his sister’s, then it is."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Why does this domineering feeling seem vaguely familiar?

"Your dean doesn’t care?"

"After all, it’s just a pomegranate tree. And for some reason, the dean also implicitly acknowledges it’s yours. So, Jiang Family’s Xiao Mingyue, quickly pick them. Passing by every time and not being able to eat really tortures us."

"Since that’s the case, let me do a good deed."

The next second, the young male doctor saw this expressive young lady return with a triangular ladder and a big net bag.

Then he saw this young lady set up the ladder steadily, climbing up using hands and feet. In a moment, the pomegranate tree with fruit covering its branches had only leaves left. This young lady borrowed the ladder, returned to grab the pomegranates she placed on the ground, and packed thirty-seven pomegranates into a net bag. It was so full that it appeared ready to burst.

Before leaving, the young lady remembered something, stopped in her tracks, and, feeling a pang of conscience, handed a pomegranate to him.

The young man was pleasantly surprised, talking politely, but his hand was lightning-fast to grab the pomegranate as if afraid the young lady would regret it.

What a joke, his treatment, unique in the whole hospital, he could boast about it for a year.

But the next second, he heard this young lady mutter to herself: "Now it’s great, thirty-six, auspicious!"

The young doctor stumbled and looked again, but the young lady had already run far away with the pomegranates.

Jiang Mingyue wasn’t heartless; she sneakily went to her second brother’s office and left two pomegranates at his place—one for him and one for his wife, perfect.

"Jiang Mingyue, it’s almost night, you’ve only now thought of returning home, impressive!"

"Brother, you feel uncomfortable if you don’t sit on fences for a day?"

Jiang Ming’an laughed angrily: "Are you calling me a pervert?"

"No way, brother, I brought pomegranates for you, want some?"

The girl rummaged and pulled two pomegranates from her pocket, holding them in front of him.

Jiang Ming’an immediately softened.

"Hmm. Where did you get them?"

"Huaguo Mountain, fought hard with the monkeys to pick these two. All for my dearest brother. One for you, one for Brother Xie, good things in pairs."

Moved for a second, next second, he was laughed out of anger.

"What you give me is mine; you’re already arranging it? Why do I have to give him?"

"Yes, yes, yours, as my brother says."

"That’s more like it."

This interruption made Jiang Ming’an completely ignore the girl’s outrageous lies, and Jiang Mingyue took a deep breath and sneakily retreated to her room.

The next day, Jiang Mingyue went to the department store.

"Yueyue, you’re here!" Seeing Jiang Mingyue, Gu Xiaoxiao was very happy; at this time in the morning, the department was empty, and chatting was undisturbed.

"Mm, I’m working at the Southern Institute, but I don’t need to go every day. I worked for three days, now resting back in Qingshan Village."

Gu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in envy: "So free, why didn’t I study the related field back then."

"No need to envy, when we work, days and nights are reversed, several days and nights without rest or sleep, can you do it?"

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head emphatically: "I can’t! Still, being a salesperson is better. I can only do this. Yueyue..."

Gu Xiaoxiao pulled Jiang Mingyue closer and whispered in her ear softly.

At the button stretcher counter, Zhang Lanlan’s family recently arranged matchmaking, but she didn’t fancy anyone. Instead, she took a liking to Manager Zhuang’s younger son Zhuang Xuechi.

"I heard Zhuang Xuechi is idle, has no job. Zhang Lanlan is into him, it must be for his dad being a manager, how materialistic!"

But Jiang Mingyue felt a sense of foreboding.
