Han Dong was at a loss and asked tentatively: "Mom, did you have a fight with Dad?"
"Don't mention your dad to me." Zhou Shuping said angrily.
Han Dong breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the old couple was arguing.
But doesn't Dad usually give in to Mom? Mom has the final say on all small matters at home, and Dad was tough on sending his two children to the army.
"You are all bad people." Zhou Shuping cried.
Han Dong was speechless and muttered, "It was Dad who made you unhappy, not me."
"You all just want to piss me off. You wish you could piss me off to death so you can live in peace."
"Mom, look at what you said. I hope you live a long life and have great-grandchildren in the future!" Han Dong coaxed.
"If you really want to, hurry up and settle the matter with Xinyan." Zhou Shuping was anxious. She had already promised Xinyan, and now Zhu Huiyu also knew about it. She said that she would let Huixian come to Shengzhou in a few days so that the two families could discuss it. But Han Dong, the brat, just refused to listen to her, and no one at home spoke for her. How would she explain to Huixian when she came
Saying that my son doesn't want to marry your daughter? Saying that this is a misunderstanding
How could she have the nerve to say that!
She couldn't eat or sleep these days and was almost sick from worrying herself.
"Mom, I'll listen to you on everything else, but forget about marrying Jiang Xinyan." Han Dong refused decisively.
Zhou Shuping cried again: "What do you want me to do to listen to you?"
"Mom, I'm the one who wants a wife. A wife is someone you want to sleep in the same bed with and spend your life with. You insist on forcing me to marry a woman I don't like. How can I live my life? Don't you feel sorry for your son? If it were you, would you be willing to spend your life with someone you don't like? Anyway, I don't want to. I might as well be single for the rest of my life." Han Dong said angrily.
"But if you marry someone I don't like, would you be willing to see me upset every day?" Zhou Shuping turned the tables.
"Mom, don't worry. You will definitely like the person I like." Han Dong said with a laugh.
Su Ran is so good, everyone who knows her will like her, Han Dong is very confident.
"Forget it, Su Ran is the one you like. If you want to marry her, you have to die."
"I didn't say I wanted to marry her. I haven't checked whether the information you provided is true or false. I am a cautious person. Besides, you also said that as long as you can prove that the person has good character, you have no objection." Han Dong said.
Zhou Shuping: …
Wasn't she just trying to coax him? It doesn't count. Even if Su Ran is fine, she is not as good as Xinyan.
Thinking about Jiang Xinyan, Jiang Xinyan came.
"Aunt, didn't I tell you not to send me lunch at noon? I made pigeon soup for Han Dong." Jiang Xinyan was holding a thermos in her hand.
"Oh, Xinyan is here. You came at the right time. Auntie messed up two dishes at noon. Han Dong, please stop eating and drink the pigeon soup made by Xinyan." Zhou Shuping quickly wiped away her tears and took the thermos from Xinyan.
"Aunt, what are you doing..." Jiang Xinyan asked deliberately. She heard everything while standing outside the door.
Even though his aunt had tried all kinds of soft tactics, Han Dong's attitude remained firm.
"It's okay. I'm mad at your uncle. I just work all day and don't care about family matters." Zhou Shuping covered up.
"Aunt, please stop being angry. Men should always focus on their careers. When my father was alive, my mother often complained. Unfortunately, my father passed away early, and my mother no longer had the chance to complain." Jiang Xinyan smiled bitterly.
"Your mother has a hard time too, Xinyan. Have you eaten?" Zhou Shuping felt more and more distressed for Xinyan. What a good child she was.
"Not yet. I'll bring it over once it's done." Jiang Xinyan looked at Han Dong. Since she entered the room, Han Dong didn't even bother to raise his eyelids.
"Come on, let's eat together." Zhou Shuping wanted to remove the old duck soup.
Han Dong hugged him and said, "No, braised pork mixed with old duck soup is especially delicious, I love it."
He didn't want to eat what Jiang Xinyan made.
"It's not delicious at all. It's all messed up." Zhou Shuping knew what her son was thinking. That wouldn't do. It's rare that Xinyan has a day off today, and she even specially made soup for Han Dong and sent it to him. It would be too disrespectful for you not to eat it.
Zhou Shuping took the old duck soup away.
"Eat, I'll get some hot water."
"Aunt, I'll go!"
"You eat, eat with Han Dong." Zhou Shuping refused and left with the thermos, giving the two children a chance to be alone.
Han Dong and Jiang Xinyan were the only ones left in the ward. Han Dong had a blank expression on his face, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.
Jiang Xinyan smiled and Han Dong served a bowl of soup: "Try my cooking."
"I am full."
"You're full without even taking a bite of food?"
"I'm not hungry." Han Dong said coldly.
Jiang Xinyan smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to be like this. I like you, but I know that feelings can't be forced. I've been angry and cried, but in the end I can only bow to reality. Han Dong, I am also a person with self-esteem. I stay here just to see you recover and be discharged from the hospital, and then I will go back to the south."
Han Dong was deeply skeptical. Did she really give up
"I will find a chance to persuade my aunt. At worst, I can find a temporary boyfriend, and then my aunt will naturally give up the idea of bringing you and me together."
When she said that, Han Dong felt a little embarrassed.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you for saving me from the hands of death." Han Dong's cold expression softened. As long as Jiang Xinyan didn't have any intentions against him, he didn't need to treat her as an enemy.
Jiang Xinyan smiled and said, "I've heard this so many times that my ears are callused. Don't forget that I'm a doctor and saving lives is my duty."
"Drink the soup! You won't be able to eat it anymore."
Han Dong took a sip and found it tasted good.
Jiang Xinyan watched Han Dong drink the soup mouthful by mouthful and sneered in her heart. Before, when Han Dong saw her, he was like a hedgehog, with all his thorns erected and ready for battle. But when he heard that she wanted to withdraw, his attitude softened.
But she never failed to get what she wanted. Giving up was not her character. Even if he didn't like her, she would get it.
"I think I can be discharged from the hospital in another month." Han Dong said.
"How can it be so fast? It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If you don't heal it completely, you may think it's okay now, but you will suffer when you are older. No matter how anxious you are, you have to be patient." Jiang Xinyan advised.
He is so anxious to be discharged from the hospital because he hopes she can leave as soon as possible!
"I'll get moldy if I keep lying like this." Han Dong wished he could be discharged from the hospital right away and return to the army to recuperate. He felt at ease staying in the army. Besides, he was close to Su Ran and could go see her.
When he thought that Gu Yunchen was now circling around Su Ran, he wanted to rush over immediately.
