Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 147: It Seems That Peng Huijing Is Unhappy at the Zhang’
Jiang Yexun took a step forward, thinking of resolving the situation quickly, but he noticed the young girl yawning tiredly. She was like a docile and tender little cat, clearly tired, but she still clung to her little toy, unwilling to let go.
"Alright, go to sleep," Jiang Yexun said, feeling both tender and helpless, as he gently pushed her into her room. He followed her into the room, with half of his body still inside. Before she could react, he quickly gave her a kiss on the lips and then retreated.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t even feel the tender and sweet touch, and Jiang Yexun was already outside the door.
"Goodnight," he smiled tenderly.
He even closed the door for her before leaving.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand, touched her lips, and felt an empty void in her heart.
"Men, always so perfunctory," she grumbled, feeling slightly irritated. Afterward, she blinked her watery eyes and turned to the bathroom to take a shower.
Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun spent two more days with Su Hongchen in Dai City before heading to Beijing. Su Hongchen arranged for someone to help them purchase train tickets from Beijing back to Hong Feng Production Team, so that they could return directly from Beijing after taking care of everything.
They spent a night in the guesthouse and the next day, upon waking up, they went straight to the Zhang’s residence. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard Peng Huijing’s tearful voice coming from inside.
"Mom, Dad, don’t you believe me either? Why would I joke about my nephew’s safety? He was indeed found near a trash bin not far from home. It’s just that the child was too playful and couldn’t find his way back."
"You don’t have to tell us these things, and we don’t want to hear them. Right now, Zhiyuan is upset with you because of this, so if you feel wronged, you should talk to him."
Inside the house, Grandpa Zhang’s impatient voice joined in.
At this time, the house still had little soundproofing, so Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun, who stood in the yard, could clearly hear their conversation. Although it had been a week since the incident, listening to their quarrel, Su Xiaoxiao still felt that the child’s disappearance was probably related to her.
It was very likely that last time, Uncle Zhang didn’t send them to Dai City because he was entangled in this matter. However, regardless of her speculations, Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of going inside to investigate. She blinked her eyes awkwardly and looked at Jiang Yexun, asking with her eyes: "Should we leave now and come back later?"
Jiang Yexun nodded.
Just as they were about to turn and leave, they met Aunt Lin, who was returning with two baskets of vegetables.
"Comrades Su and Jiang, you’re here? General Zhang has been mentioning you these past few days." She greeted them warmly.
These days, many people had loud voices, and Lin was one of them. So when she spoke, everyone inside could hear her.
Peng Huijing quickly wiped away her tears, and Grandma Wang gave her a meaningful glance before saying, "You should go rest for now."
Peng Huijing didn’t argue and quickly went upstairs.
Looking at the back of her mother, Zhang Hanyu felt indignant and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, this is the Zhang family. No matter what my mom says, she is still the Zhang family’s daughter-in-law. Why does she have to leave and make room for outsiders?"
Grandma Wang sighed and said apologetically, "Just leave it, she can’t stand up to outsiders."
Zhang Hanyu shouted, "Grandpa, then isn’t she too wronged?"
Grandpa Zhang, who was sitting inside, glanced at him and sneered, "You with your little brain should speak less; otherwise, you’ll look like an idiot and bring disgrace to the Zhang family."
Zhang Hanyu’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t believe what he heard from his grandfather.
"Grandpa..." He whispered, his voice trembling.
Grandpa Zhang couldn’t be bothered to look at him any further. However, when he turned his head and saw Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun entering, he immediately broke into a big smile, his wrinkles deepening.
Zhang Hanyu, seeing that his grandparents were happier to see these outsiders than their own grandchild, felt a deep sense of resentment.
"What are you doing here again?" He asked Su Xiaoxiao with an unfriendly tone.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t get angry and instead looked at him with an innocent and wronged expression. "Don’t you remember? Grandpa Zhang needs to change his medicine after a week. I’m here to give him new prescription."
"What does he know? All he thinks about is how to talk to me and his dad and persuade us not to send him to the border. He wants me to arrange a decent job for him next year, one with power, money, and status," Grandpa Zhang said, exposing Zhang Hanyu’s intentions.
Zhang Hanyu’s face turned white, and he wanted to argue but couldn’t. He realized that since he didn’t even know about his grandpa changing medicine, any explanation would sound weak, so he chose to remain silent.
Seeing his expression, Grandpa Zhang couldn’t be bothered with him any longer. Instead, he turned to Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun, immediately showing a broad smile, his wrinkles forming into deep creases.
As Grandpa Zhang saw his grandparents’ expressions change, he felt a deep sense of hatred.
"Why are you here again?" He asked Su Xiaoxiao, a little irritably.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t take offense. Instead, she looked at him with a pitiful and wronged expression, saying, "Don’t you remember? Grandpa Zhang needs to change his medicine after a week. I’m here to give him new medicine."
"He doesn’t know anything. All he thinks about is how to talk to my dad and persuade him to send him to the border. He wants me to arrange a decent job for him next year, one with power, money, and status," Grandpa Zhang said, exposing Zhang Hanyu’s intentions.
Zhang Hanyu’s face turned pale, and he wanted to argue but couldn’t. He realized that since he didn’t even know about his grandpa changing medicine, any explanation would sound weak, so he chose to remain silent.
However, judging from his expression and the look in his eyes, it was clear that he was still quite dissatisfied. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Alright, don’t stand here and embarrass yourself," Grandpa Zhang waved his hand dismissively and urged him to leave.
Zhang Hanyu didn’t dare to argue with his grandfather and could only glare at Su Xiaoxiao with resentment before reluctantly going upstairs to find his mother.
Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang smiled apologetically at Su Xiaoxiao. "Don’t bother with him. This child has been spoiled by his mother. People are often hard to understand."
"It’s fine," Su Xiaoxiao politely smiled back. Despite her dislike for Zhang Hanyu, she wasn’t foolish enough to express her displeasure in front of his own grandparents.
"Grandpa Zhang, how have you been feeling this past week? Have you had your check-up?" Su Xiaoxiao asked with concern.
Jiang Yexun placed two large bags of medication on the coffee table.
"These are the medications for the next month," Su Xiaoxiao added, looking at the bags of medication.
"Last time you left us the money and receipt, so why did you buy so much medication again? How much did it cost? Just tell us, and we’ll reimburse you right away," Grandpa Zhang smiled.
"It wasn’t much, just 11.37 yuan for a month," Su Xiaoxiao replied casually and handed him the receipt.
They and Grandpa Zhang had no shortage of money, so there was no need for back-and-forth refusals.
Grandpa Zhang took the receipt and was increasingly appreciative of Su Xiaoxiao’s demeanor. She was polite, warm, and had a good sense of how to deal with people, avoiding unnecessary trivial matters.
This made him and Grandma Wang feel at ease and comfortable in their interactions.
Grandma Wang took out money from her pocket and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao. After she accepted it, Grandma Wang said with a smile, "We haven’t been to the hospital today. We thought of having lunch first and then going for our check-up. But since you’re here, we’ll get our check-up done now, and we can return in time for lunch."
"Alright," Su Xiaoxiao agreed. She was eager to find out the results because if Grandpa Zhang was in good health, she could submit the prescription for another award and a cash prize.
Grandpa Zhang had called the hospital and also brought a coat when they went out. After everything was prepared, they left the Zhang family’s house. Ning Yuanzheng drove them to the People’s Hospital, and they arrived in less than twenty minutes.
Lin Enyang had been waiting at the door, and when she saw Su Xiaoxiao getting out of the car, her eyes lit up with joy.
"I’ve been looking forward to this for a week. I was hoping that General Zhang’s re-examination would be today. Once he’s cured, there will be more than a hundred patients here, and many of them likely have aplastic anemia," Lin Enyang said with excitement.
Su Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Why are there so many of them? What about the blood cancer patients? How many are there?"
"Less than ten," Lin Enyang said, a bit embarrassed, scratching his nose.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darkened. "We need to hurry. With such a high rate of misdiagnosis, many people in the entire country may be affected."
Many might be emotionally crushed if they found out the truth and had already lost their loved ones. Money could be regained as long as they were alive, but if the people were mentally devastated, that would be a different story.
