Chapter 280
This doctor was naturally one of their own. After his diagnosis, he did not say whether it was good or bad. He only said that the situation was not as bad as before. As for whether he could recover completely, it was hard to say. However, it was not good for the patient to be cooped up in the house all day. He should go out to walk around in the courtyard more often to feel the wind and bask in the sun. His mood would be better, and it would be good for his condition.
Thus, Zhou Jingyi, in addition to urging him to take his medicine on time, had one more thing to do. She asked someone to move the soft couch into the courtyard and helped him walk around every day. She did not talk much. He sat on the couch while she stood at a distance. It was unknown what she was looking at or thinking about.
There was no one else in the courtyard, and Shi Fengming had no one to talk to. He could only stare at the flowers and leaves in front of him in a daze. He watched the flowers and leaves sway slightly in the breeze and smelled the faint fragrance of the flowers.
It was reasonable to say that he should feel very bored, but for some reason, his originally impetuous heart had unknowingly calmed down bit by bit. He only felt that he had never been so calm and content as he was at this moment. It was as if he had lived a peaceful and happy life.
This day, when Shi Fengju and Sang Wan came in, they saw such a scene. Shi Fengming sat on the couch under the tree and stared blankly at a few pots of different colored hibiscus flowers in front of him. Zhou Jingyi, on the other hand, was standing in the corridor, leaning against a pillar and looking at the sky in a daze. The two of them seemed to be immersed in their own world. Neither of them had anything to do with the other, but they looked exceptionally harmonious.
When Shi Fengju and Sang Wan walked in, neither of them noticed. One was still looking at the flowers while the other was looking at the sky.
Shi Fengju and Sang Wan looked at each other. Sang Wan could not help but laugh.
"Second Brother, why are you in a daze!" Shi Fengju coughed.
"Big Brother! Sister-in-law! "The two of them who were in a daze finally came back to their senses and saw the couple.
Zhou Jingyi smiled apologetically and hurriedly walked over to Shi Fengju and Sang Wan. Shi Fengju subconsciously wanted to stand up as well, but he regained his senses after being stared at by Shi Fengju. He sat back down and looked over with a smile.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Zhou Jing Yi quickly smiled and said, "This courtyard is filled with the smell of medicine, sister-in-law, don't stay here for too long!" As she said that, she took out a piece of gauze from her bosom and smiled, "This is clean, sister-in-law, please cover it up!"
Sang Wan held his hand and said with a smile, "There's no harm in the courtyard. Aren't you also not covered? I'm not that weak! "
Zhou Jin Yi smiled.
Shi Fengju took the gauze and carefully covered Sang Wan's mouth and nose with it. He said with a smile, "It's better to be careful. Your body is weak!"
Sang Wan looked at him and smiled gently, allowing him to no longer refuse. Shi Fengming only felt that his teeth were about to fall out. He thought to himself, Big Brother, you don't have to be like this! You and sister-in-law clearly know that I'm pretending. The two of you are acting too much!
Zhou Jing Yi looked at Shi Fengju's gentle actions and expressions. The two of them looked at each other with smiles and affection, as if nothing in this world could interfere. She then glanced at her husband who was sitting on the couch and couldn't even be bothered to look at her. She felt a sense of loss and said with a smile, "Big Brother, sister-in-law, please wait for a moment. I'll go get two chairs for you!"
"There's no need for that!" Shi Fengju smiled and said, "The weather is good. It's good for us to stand and walk around in this courtyard!" Shi Fengju said and then turned to look at Sang Wan with a smile, "Wan Niang, are you tired? If you're tired, you can sit down! "
Sang Wan shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine!"
She didn't know why, but when they were in Hangzhou and on the way back, Shi Fengju had always been so gentle and considerate to his wife. Shi Fengming had secretly mocked his brother at first, but he had gotten used to it. However, at this moment, seeing the husband and wife so intimate in front of him, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He coughed and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Big Brother, sister-in-law, it's not easy for you to come and see me together. Why don't you say a few words to me? You're the only ones talking!"
Sang Wan glared at Shi Fengju and said, "Look at you!"
Shi Fengju smiled at her in a good-natured manner and then said to Shi Fengming, "How are you? Are you feeling better today? "
Shi Fengming snorted and said resentfully, "I'm feeling better! At least I haven't gone moldy! "
Sang Wan went over to Zhou Jingyi to talk to her. She asked her a few questions and reminded her to take care of her body so that she wouldn't fall ill from exhaustion.
Zhou Jingyi nodded repeatedly. Her eyes reddened as she forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'll take care!"
In this residence, the only person who truly treated her with sincerity was this sister-in-law in front of her. She had been taking care of Shi Fengming these past few days, but when had he ever said a word of concern to her? It was already good enough that he had a cold face and cold eyes. Earlier, he had even called her an evil woman, a vicious woman who couldn't wait to kill her!
When people compared themselves to others, it was impossible not to feel sad and disappointed.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for being so good to me! I'll always remember your kindness to me! "Zhou Jingyi said with a smile.
"Why are you saying such silly things out of the blue?" Sang Wan said with a smile, "The two of us can be considered to hit it off, and we're sisters-in-law. Isn't it only right that I treat you well?"
"En! Sister-in-law is right! "Zhou Jingyi's heart was filled with bitterness, and when she spoke, she unconsciously sounded like she was about to cry.
"What's wrong with you?" Sang Wan jumped in fright and unconsciously raised her voice, immediately attracting the attention of Shi Fengju and Shi Fengming.
"Nothing, nothing!" Zhou Jingyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped. She didn't dare to raise her head, nor did she dare to raise her hand to wipe them away. She hurriedly said with a smile, "That's right, that's right. Sister-in-law, you're so good to me. I'm very grateful."
Even though Zhou Jingyi tried her best to hold it in, her slight sobbing was still caught by a few people. Shi Fengming was stunned, and Shi Fengju frowned slightly. He felt that it was better not to get involved, so he smiled at Sang Wan and said, "We've been here for a while. Let's go back! We don't want Second Brother to tire himself out! "
Sang Wan smiled and nodded. She bid farewell to the two of them and left with Shi Fengju.
Only then did Zhou Jingyi secretly heave a sigh of relief. She turned around and walked back into the room.
"Hey," Shi Fengming called out to her and asked hesitantly, "Are, are you alright?"
Zhou Jingyi was furious. With her back facing him, she said lightly, "What can happen to me!"
You're so stubborn! Do you think everyone is deaf?!
"Then — — why did you enter the room?" Shi Fengming couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Jingyi said angrily, "I'm tired from standing. Can't I go in and sit for a while?" As she said that, she took a few steps into the room.
Shi Fengming pursed his lips and felt wronged. He thought to himself, Why is she crying for no reason? I didn't do anything to provoke you!
The two of them, one inside and one outside, went into a daze. Both inside and outside the room were silent.
What Shi Fengming didn't know was that Zhou Jin Yi's tears were flowing silently down her face in this room that was separated by a wall.
Old Master Zhou and Old Mistress Zhou finally arrived at the Shi Family and met with Second Lord Shi and his wife. Although they were polite on the surface, they were actually complaining about each other in their hearts. Especially Old Mistress Zhou and Second Mistress Shi. Their gazes would occasionally meet, and it was as if sparks would fly from the collision.
"I really didn't expect something like this to happen! Sigh, my Xiao Yi's life is really tough! "After exchanging greetings, Old Mistress Zhou sighed and raised her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.
Second Mistress Shi's expression changed and she snorted, "The one who's really pitiful is my son, Fengming! Sigh, if my daughter-in-law had some tricks up her sleeves and was able to win him over, this wouldn't have happened! Really, if something were to happen to him, how am I supposed to live on! "After saying that, she also raised her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.
Old Mistress Zhou was furious and glared at her coldly, "What do you mean!"
Second Mistress Shi refused to back down, "What I said is the truth!"
"You — —"
"Enough, enough!" Old Master Zhou quickly interrupted and asked with a sigh, "How is my son-in-law now? Is his condition getting better? "
Old Mistress Zhou glanced at him unhappily and asked, "What about my daughter? How is she these few days? "
Second Lord Shi quickly smiled and said, "Fengming's condition is quite stable now. He's taking medicine every day! My daughter-in-law is taking care of him and their relationship is much better than before. I think — — "
"What!" Old Mistress Zhou widened her eyes in shock, "In-law, what did you say? My Xiao Yi has been taking care of my son-in-law! "
"That's right …" Second Lord Shi was shocked by her reaction.
However, Second Mistress Shi was not convinced and snorted, "What? Shouldn't she be? Your daughter is my son's daughter-in-law. My son is sick, shouldn't she be taking care of him by his side? " Second Mistress Shi was so angry that she lost her head. She was unhappy with Old Mistress Zhou's words and could not help but raise her voice, forgetting her and her son's original intentions.
Old Mistress Zhou was flustered and exclaimed, "No! I have to go take a look! How can this be! Don't you have any servants in your household? If you don't, just tell me and I'll bring a few over from the Zhou household! My son-in-law has an infectious disease, how can I let my daughter take care of him by his side? Hmph! My daughter is my daughter-in-law and you are her parents! Why don't I see you taking care of him by his side? You're clearly bullying my daughter! "
Old Mistress Zhou covered her face and started crying. She wanted to rush out.
"Old Mistress! Old Mistress! " Old Master Zhou was also very unhappy, but he still retained some rationality. Seeing this, he quickly pulled Old Mistress Zhou back, "Old Mistress, don't be anxious. Let's talk things out slowly!" Since so many days had passed, a little more time would not make a difference.
"How can I talk things out! They're already bullying us! Your son's life is important, but isn't my daughter's life?! If anything happens to my daughter, I'll kill myself in your Shi household! "Old Mistress Zhou became agitated.
"Old Mistress Shi, what are you saying!" Second Lord Shi was shocked, "When my daughter-in-law came back that day, we advised her not to take care of him personally, but she insisted on going. She even said that all of you agreed to it, so how could — —"
"How could we agree to it!" Old Mistress Zhou said angrily, "What reputation? I've lived for so long, why would I care about that! Unless I'm stupid, I won't use my daughter's life in exchange for a worthless reputation! My daughter would never say such a thing. I'm going to find her and ask her personally! "
