Chapter 115: Chapter 113: Why So Anxious?

——————

This day, by chance a Sunday, Zhang Shan Ni saw that her elder brother-in-law and his wife had both returned, so she decided to take her mother-in-law back to the county town for a follow-up checkup.

Since her second older sister’s return, ten days had passed, during which she strictly controlled her father-in-law and mother-in-law’s diet. Utilizing the medicine from the Space and combining it with the Spirit Core Water, she had thoroughly nourished their health.

Over these ten days, not only did Zhou Xiuhua feel much lighter and more spirited, her brain had stopped throbbing with pain. As for Xie Tiesheng, because he was already healthy to begin with, after eating food mixed with Spirit Core Water together with his spouse, he felt more limber than he had at thirty!

The few little nephews and nieces staying at home were also treated to the same regimen, hence in just ten days, like seedlings helped to grow by pulling, they all shot up, growing taller and stronger.

Realizing the winter harvest was just a few days away, and that there would certainly be no time to visit the county town again, Zhang Shan Ni planned to take advantage of the current leisure time to accompany her mother-in-law to the county for an examination. After the checkup, she intended to send the old lady to her second older sister’s place, while she herself would pay a visit to Elder Liu, and if there was time, she also wanted to stop by Li Jianfeng’s home.

Xie Tiesheng immediately agreed upon hearing his third son’s wife mention taking his spouse for a re-examination. As for her subsequent visits to others, that was her own freedom—as long as she prepared suitable gifts.

Whether it was Elder Liu or Li Jianfeng, both families were worth maintaining good relations with. Zhang Shan Ni was willing to show genuine effort for the sake of the Old Xie Family, and Xie Tiesheng felt nothing but gratitude.

Since Zhang Shan Ni had wisely taken motion sickness medicine before leaving home, the mother and daughter-in-law arrived at the county hospital without any issues.

With Zhang Shan Ni’s rudimentary medical skills, combined with her recent treatment of the old lady, the results of the follow-up checkup were significantly better than the initial diagnosis. Fortunately, the doctors were not the same, and so they didn’t notice any discrepancies, merely assuming this patient’s condition was what it should be.

Since there were still no medical records cards at that time, and one could get a booklet just by reporting a name, Zhang Shan Ni, knowing well the drastic difference in the old lady’s condition, initially did not plan on bringing the previous booklet of records.

After learning from the doctors that her mother-in-law’s condition had improved from moderate to mild, Zhang Shan Ni felt a solid sense of achievement.

Because their trip to the county town that day involved taking a village tractor to the nearby town, and then a bus to the county town. By the time they stood in the county town, it was already nine o’clock.

Fortunately, the hospital was not busy, so there was no need to queue for a consultation, especially for the cardiovascular clinic. When they arrived, it was as quiet as only a few kittens around, and after waiting about ten minutes, the doctor ordered blood tests and routine exams. By the time they reached the second older sister’s house, it was just ten thirty in the morning.

The main time spent during the visit was waiting for the blood test results.

Xie Jinghong opened the courtyard door and was extremely delighted to see her mother and younger brother’s wife standing outside. She hastily made way and pulled them inside.

The three little kids were well-taught and polite, they did not make a fuss seeing visitors, but because they really were so young, and the concept of a grandmother at this time was not the same as that in later generations—who could be affectionate as they wished.

Back then, most people were busy with farming tasks all day long, how could they possibly be indulging with children throughout? Therefore, whether it was Hong, or the twin younger brothers, none could recognize their relatives.

Little Hongzai is five years old now, but he really hasn’t seen his grandma much. Because of taking care of the child, Xie Jinghong has been visiting her maternal home less and less over the years since she got married.

If Little Hongzai hadn’t just seen Zhang Shanni and Zhou Xiuhua a few days ago, he might still be confused now, and wouldn’t even recognize them.

"Second Sister, I’m worried. I brought Mom to the county town hospital today for a follow-up check-up."

"What nonsense are you talking about, come in quickly. Mom, how come you didn’t let anyone know when you were coming? I would have had Brother Jiefang come pick you up!"

"You silly girl, you’re the one talking nonsense. I had Ni with me, we were fine, don’t worry too much."

"Come here, Hongzai, Qiangzai, Xianzai, quickly come and greet Grandma and Second Uncle’s Wife." Xie Jinghong called everyone to the kitchen and brought out a large bowl of cold boiled water for her mom and brother’s wife.

"Grandma, Second Uncle’s Wife!" The kids called out neatly, but after the greetings, they stared at Zhang Shanni eagerly.

Perhaps they now recognized Zhang Shanni and knew that she always had candy in her pockets. That ingratiating manner made Zhang Shanni not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Oh my, look at my dear grandchildren, they’re so clever!" Zhou Xiuhua said with a smile while she drank some water.

"Go on, don’t be so impolite. Hongzai, take your brothers out to the yard to play and don’t be naughty, understand?" Xie Jinghong noticed her three sons were making her blush with shyness, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her younger sister-in-law’s expression didn’t change.

"Hold on, Second Sister, why are you rushing the kids off? It’s just a few candies, it’s not worth making a fuss!" As she said this, Zhang Shanni beckoned the three kids over, while making funny faces at Zhou Xiuhua.

"What’s going on?" Xie Jinghong knew that her younger sister-in-law got along with her mother quite well, but she hadn’t expected them to get along this well, able to tease and joke with each other?

"Hee hee ha ha~~ big girl, your sister-in-law is asking the old lady for candy!" Zhou Xiuhua was tickled by Third Son’s Wife’s funny antics, laughed heartily, and pointed at her to tease her eldest daughter, while already reaching into her underarm bag to pull out a handful of candy.

Before leaving home, knowing she was going to her second sister’s house and that the three children rarely had the chance to eat candy, Zhang Shanni had grabbed a few handfuls of candy and put them in her mother-in-law’s bag, and now, it came in handy.

"Yes, yes, treasures be good, go ask Grandma for candy, the candy is in Grandma’s hands, don’t be shy~~" Zhang Shanni didn’t get annoyed by her mother-in-law’s teasing, but instead spoke to her three nephews with a smile on her face.

"Grandma~~" Fan Hong, being the oldest, already knew how to act cute. Fan Xian, being the youngest and most spoiled by his parents, was even sweeter-mouthed, and he followed his big brother, crowding around Grandma to play coy, holding tightly to his twin brother’s hand, showing their great affection for each other.

Fan Qiang was the second-born, and although he was in the middle, the love from the family was not any less for him. Moreover, since Hong learned that mom had younger brothers, he had been acting more obediently. Once good habits like these are formed, it becomes a virtuous cycle.

Though fingers may vary in length, people’s hearts have their partialities, but there is always that basic parental love, not everyone can reach the level that Zhang Zhiguo and Lin Zhaodi have.

Zhang Shanni watched her ’family’ having a warm and joyous laugh, feeling happy and delighted in her heart, which dissipated the irritation she had felt for nearly half a month without receiving a letter from her husband.
