Gu Jia Ning continued Hua Zhenrong's treatment.
Each day, the treatment time became shorter and shorter. Now, Hua Zhenrong could remain conscious all day. Because he ate well and slept well, his complexion and spirits improved.
Even his originally thin body had gained weight.
The Hua Family was naturally incredibly grateful to Gu Jia Ning.
Meanwhile, Sheng Xin Hao placed his only hope for treating his arm on that acupuncture master.
Finally, that day, a confidant who worked as a leader in the railway department called him, saying that they had finally found information about the acupuncture master.
On the other end of the telephone, the confidant's tone was very excited and thrilled.
"Officer, it's fate! You absolutely won't believe who the acupuncture master is. They're right under our noses! We've been looking in the wrong place!"
Sheng Xin Hao: …
He didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition.
And soon, Sheng Xin Hao knew his premonition was correct.
He heard the person on the other end say, "That acupuncture master is your eldest son, Sheng Ze Xi's wife, Gu Jia Ning."
"Didn't they recently come to Beijing from the Northwest Military Region?"
"Aren't they living at home?"
"Oh, Officer, maybe you didn't tell them about your illness because you were worried about your son and daughter-in-law."
"You should tell them. Your daughter-in-law is the acupuncture master; she can treat you."
…
On the other end of the telephone, the confidant continued to congratulate Sheng Xin Hao.
Sheng Xin Hao, however, felt as if a brick had hit his head, causing severe pain.
No, it wasn't just his head; his arm hurt again.
Sheng Xin Hao couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Fang Wanrong, hearing the sound, immediately came over.
Meanwhile, the more the confidant praised him, the more Sheng Xin Hao felt his blood boiling, rushing to his head.
"Old Sheng, Old Sheng, what's wrong with you?"
The next second, Sheng Xin Hao's telephone fell heavily to the ground.
Sheng Xin Hao's eyes widened, and as Fang Wanrong approached, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Coincidentally, it landed directly on Fang Wanrong's face.
Fang Wanrong screamed.
After spitting out the blood, Sheng Xin Hao stared straight ahead and fell to the ground.
"Old Sheng, someone, help!"
…
So, the next day, Gu Jia Ning learned from Grandfather Sang that her cheap father-in-law, who didn't acknowledge her, was hospitalized.
Gu Jia Ning wondered if it was the illness from when her stepmother came to see her last time?
However, Gu Jia Ning didn't think much of it.
It wasn't her concern.
Furthermore, neither Sheng Xin Hao nor Fang Wanrong contacted her afterward, so Gu Jia Ning didn't bother to pay attention.
Gu Jia Ning didn't know that Sheng Xin Hao was hospitalized due to a fit of anger.
Upon waking up in the hospital, Sheng Xin Hao was incredibly surprised to discover that both the previously skilled female surgeon and the current acupuncture master were Gu Jia Ning!
She was the country girl he despised, the one he insisted his eldest son divorce.
He couldn't believe that a country girl possessed such skills.
If he had known…
If he had known, he wouldn't have stopped them.
Such a capable doctor with a good background, even if from the countryside, was barely worthy of his son, Sheng Xin Hao.
Moreover, with such a daughter-in-law, his arm could be cured.
But now…
He had said all the harsh words he could to Sheng Ze Xi and Gu Jia Ning.
He had said that even in death, he would not beg that woman.
Sheng Xin Hao had dignity.
He couldn't possibly go begging now.
But what about his arm?
Should he just let it be ruined? Should he allow someone else to take his position?
That was something Sheng Xin Hao couldn't tolerate.
For the first time, Sheng Xin Hao felt what it meant to be in a difficult situation.
That brat, Sheng Ze Xi, surely knew his wife was capable and well-connected, yet he didn't tell him. Did he really have a strained relationship with his father?
But Sheng Xin Hao remembered that when Sang Yu Wan was still alive, his son's relationship with him was very good.
Even after Sang Yu Wan's death, his son was very dependent on him.
When did their relationship become so bad, to the point where they only argued when they met?
Was it since he married Fang Wanrong?
So, was it all because of Fang Wanrong?
Because of one woman, he lost his proudest son?
So, when Fang Wanrong entered carrying a bowl of porridge, she was met with Sheng Xin Hao's scrutinizing gaze.
Fang Wanrong: !!! What did I do again?
-
Northwest Military Region. Sheng Ze Xi, after finishing training and returning home, looked at the newspaper reporting on Gu Jia Ning's lecture.
Since it was in the newspaper, the news spread throughout the Northwest Military Region.
Everyone praised Gu Jia Ning.
Even the soldiers under Sheng Ze Xi's command looked at him with envy.
They were envious. How could they, like Deputy Commander Sheng, marry such a beautiful and capable wife?
It was probably impossible. After all, Deputy Commander Sheng was so capable, and they lacked the ability.
So, it was best not to have unrealistic fantasies.
Sheng Ze Xi naturally saw the envy in those soldiers' eyes, and of course, their envy wasn't just in their eyes, they also expressed it verbally.
Hearing them praise Gu Jia Ning...
Sheng Ze Xi felt…so happy and proud.
Ningning is definitely the best; otherwise, I wouldn't have personally gone to ask for her hand in marriage.
Ningning is the best. These brats won't be able to find a wife as good as Ningning.
Sheng Ze Xi was then called by his superior.
The superior called him, naturally, because of Gu Jia Ning, praising him repeatedly.
"Hey, superior, I know I have good judgment."
"Of course, I'm also excellent, so my Ningning would fall for me."
Superior: …This kid, he's excellent, but his face is also incredibly thick.
However, seeing Sheng Ze Xi so happy, as an old superior who had guided Sheng Ze Xi, he was only happy.
You know, before, seeing Sheng Ze Xi's unruly and rebellious nature, he really thought Sheng Ze Xi would die alone.
This is good now.
Although when he mentions his wife, this kid looks a little silly!
After receiving the envy of his soldiers and praise from his superior, Sheng Ze Xi went home and took out the wedding photos he and Gu Jia Ning had taken.
His fingers caressed the small figures in the photos. His voice was muffled, "Wife, when will you be back?"
He really missed his wife.
