Chapter 958: Foolish Uncle (1/2)
But all this is based on the premise that Qi Wang can't get better. If Qi Wang gets better, what if he says some sweet words to Li Wantao and coaxes her?
So Luo Shan was very nervous and wanted to know what Qi Wang's condition was and whether he could get better.
Zhang Jiuqin would naturally hide it from outsiders, but Luo Shan was his family, so Zhang Jiuqin felt there was no need to hide it from him, not to mention that he had been worried about Qi Wang's health. If he knew that Qi Wang could get better, he would be happy.
"Those words just now were said to outsiders. I tell you, don't go out and tell others. The doctor said that your cousin is recovering very well. The blood clot in his brain is dissolving. It is estimated that it will be directly absorbed after a period of time. By that time, he will be able to get better."
Zhang Jiuqin is not a doctor, and she doesn't remember those professional terms very clearly, but she still remembers the key explanations clearly, so she repeated what the doctor said.
When Zhang Jiuqin told Luo Shan that he could get better, Qi Wang did not stop Zhang Jiuqin.
With Qi Wang's eyesight, he could naturally find some changes in Luo Shan. If he guessed correctly, something should have happened between Luo Shan and Li Wantao.
Before, Luo Shan's attitude towards them was actually a bit stiff, and he would involuntarily reveal a strong hatred when he looked at them occasionally.
However, his attitude changed a bit when he came back this time. When he looked at them occasionally, he looked at them with a contemptuous look - especially when he looked at him.
Luo Shan was a man of low self-esteem and arrogance, sensitive and cunning. Others were obviously good to him, but when it came to him, they could misinterpret countless meanings.
Just like Zhang Jiuqin, she had never done anything to let Luo Shan down, and she had even tried her best to treat the two children equally.
However, the original owner was Zhang Jiuqin's biological son, and he was very close to Zhang Jiuqin, and he would say anything directly, while Luo Shan was like a dull person, unwilling to say anything, and had to let others guess his thoughts.
Therefore, Zhang Jiuqin's attitude towards the two children is sometimes different, and this has become the ironclad evidence that Zhang Jiuqin favors the original owner's biological son.
Qi Wang has seen many people like Luo Shan. It is useless for others to be kind to him. As long as he determines that the other party has no good intentions, he will naturally not remember the other party's kindness.
Not to mention that Zhang Jiuqin has never been partial to the original owner, even if he is partial, isn't it natural? The original owner Zhang Jiuqin's biological son respects and is filial to this mother, and that heart is 100%.
And Luo Shan? He has never treated others with his heart from the beginning, so how can he ask others to be sincere to him?
Qi Wang didn't want to analyze Luo Shan's psychology, nor did he want to say that he was so wary of people because he was hurt by his stepmother and biological father when he was a child, or like some "saints" said, he became like this because of his original family's fault, because he had a bad childhood and was delicate and sensitive, so he had to use 100%, or even 1,000% of his sincerity to care for him and warm him.
Qi Wang always sneered at such remarks. He did not deny that the original family would have a great impact on a person, and the hurt suffered in childhood would indeed affect a person's character.
But it's okay for the injured person to hate the person who hurt him, but what about the person who pulled him out of the quagmire?
Just because the other party did not treat him 100% as he wanted, because the other person's goodness did not meet his standard, he was unwilling to give his sincerity, and hated the other party, and would bite back at the first opportunity.
Such a person is no longer worthy of being called a human being, and calling him a scumbag is an insult to the word scumbag.
When Luo Shan heard Zhang Jiuqin say that Qi Wang was slowly recovering and would be fully recovered soon as long as he took medicine on time, his face suddenly changed and his expression was a little ugly.
Zhang Jiuqin saw him like this, but still didn't think much about it. She just thought he was not feeling well, so she asked with concern: "Xiaoshan, why do you look so ugly? Are you not feeling well? How about I take you to the village clinic?"
Luo Shan said that he was fine, but he felt that Zhang Jiuqin was pretending to be kind.
If Qi Wang was sick, he would be taken to the county or city for treatment. If he was sick or not feeling well, he was only qualified to see a doctor in the village clinic. Since he couldn't treat everyone equally, why bother to put on such a hypocritical look? It was simply disgusting.
"Nothing, aunt, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I won't eat anymore. I'll be fine after lying down in my room for a while."
With that, Luo Shan got up and hurried towards the house.
Zhang Jiuqin looked at Luo Shan's back with worry, and felt that the older the child got, the further he was from her heart as an aunt.
"I'd better call the doctor to come and see him later. Even if it's a minor illness, we can't delay it. It will be troublesome if it becomes a serious illness."
Qi Wang suddenly said, "Mom, Xiaoshan seems very unhappy that I can get better."
After hearing what Qi Wang said, Zhang Jiuqin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Look at what you are saying, child. Xiaoshan grew up with you and is the best to you. How could he be unhappy because you are getting better? He just doesn't feel well."
After all, Zhang Jiuqin had loved Luo Shan for so many years and treated him no better than his biological son. So Qi Huan said that Luo Shan was not very happy that he was recovering from his illness. Zhang Jiuqin could not do that. He only said that Luo Shan was not feeling well. That's how it will be.
"You, you, let me tell you what is good for you? You can just say these things in front of me, but you are not allowed to say anything in front of Xiaoshan. He is serious and will take it seriously."
Zhang Jiuqin is always paying attention to Luo Shan's mental health and is afraid of hurting him. After all, he lost his mother at a young age and his biological father is like that. Zhang Jiuqin is afraid that this child will think too much and get into trouble by himself. .
However, her painstaking efforts were not remembered by Luo Shan. Instead, they became powerful 'evidences', making Luo Shan naturally hate Zhang Jiuqin.
Qi Wang also knew that the established impression could not be changed overnight, but it didn't matter. He was patient. Now that Luo Shan had taken that step, sooner or later his flaws would be revealed.
He groaned and muttered with confusion on his face: "Wasn't he fine when we first came back? He was still talking and laughing with Uncle Qin, not to mention he was more energetic. Now he feels uncomfortable. ? This disease is really strange."
This 'self-talk' fell into Zhang Jiuqin's ears, but it gave her a bad feeling in her heart. Thinking carefully about it, Luo Shan did not look like he was sick before. As soon as he walked on his front legs, his back legs became sick, and this was even under the premise that he said that Qi Huan's illness could be cured...
Does he really have nothing else on his mind?
Thinking like this, Zhang Jiuqin couldn't sit still. She thought for a while, boiled a bowl of brown sugar ginger water, and took it to Luo Shan's house.
But when she was about to open the door and go in, she found that the door was locked from the inside.
Zhang Jiuqin was stunned for a moment, feeling a little heavy in her heart, but she quickly adjusted her mood and shouted: "Xiaoshan, I boiled brown sugar and ginger water for you. Drink a bowl of it to make you sweat. It will be much easier.”
She shouted several times, but no one in the room answered. It wasn't until she banged on the door hard again, about seven or eight times, that Luoshan's voice came out from the room.
"Auntie, please stop working. I want to sleep for a while and I will be fine later."
"How can that be done? If you are really uncomfortable, I will take you to see a doctor. We are all young men, so we can't hide our illnesses and avoid medical treatment, do you understand?"
Luo Shan in the room agreed casually, but who would have thought that Zhang Jiuqin kept asking endless questions, asking him to drink ginger syrup, and then asking him to see a doctor. Luo Shan, who was lying in bed, had a look of displeasure on his face. His patience grew stronger and stronger. Thinking of the happy days he had lived when Zhang Jiuqin and Qi Wang were not at home in the past few days, the anger in his heart rose again.
You are such an old person, can you really not understand good words? He even said he didn't want to drink anymore. He wanted to rest. Didn't that idiot Zhang Jiuqin know how to get away?
Luo Shan suppressed the violent thoughts in his heart and said in a cold voice: "I'm fine. I'll be fine if I sleep for a while. Leave me alone and leave me alone."
There was a hint of impatience in his voice, but Luo Shan didn't notice it himself. He pulled the quilt aside and covered his head, too lazy to answer what people outside said.
After talking to idiots for a long time, he felt that he would also become an idiot.
What Qi Wang said just now gave some hints to Zhang Jiuqin. Now she came over to ask about his body with full of concern. Luo Shan did not say that he came to open the door. He was not even willing to say two more words to her. Finally, he said Even a fool could hear the irrepressible impatience in those words.
Zhang Jiuqin froze there, the expression on his face became complicated.
Could it be that this child really has some resentment in his heart?
"Mom, come over and eat. If you don't eat, you'll get cold."
Qi Wang, who was sitting in front of the small table, turned around and called Zhang Jiuqin to come over for dinner. She took a deep breath, suppressed the slight discomfort in her heart, and walked back to the small table with the bowl in hand.
"Awan, let me drink this brown sugar ginger water for you."
With that said, Zhang Jiuqin put the bowl in his hand in front of Qi Wan.
Qi Wang didn't say much. He took it and drank it. After finishing the drink, he said, "Did I say it right? Xiaoshan was just not happy that I was getting better and was having a temper there. Well, now he even locks the door when he goes back to his room. He never locked the door in the past. "
Zhang Jiuqin didn't feel very comfortable at first, but Qi Wang stabbed her a few more times, all of which hit her unhappiness. Looking at the pure and flawless eyes of her son at home, Zhang Jiuqin was speechless.
This child didn't talk so much in the past. Even if he occasionally had opinions on Luoshan, he would pay attention to his sense of propriety when speaking, and would not say many things too directly.
But now, perhaps because of his impaired IQ, when he speaks, he goes straight to the point without any twists and turns, which makes him sound very choked.
How should she answer this?
Zhang Jiuqin still doesn't want to think so bad about the child he raised since childhood. It's normal for an eighteen-year-old boy to have a temper occasionally. In the past, Qi Wang was so well-behaved and obedient. My mother won't be too polite when speaking.
"Okay, let's eat your food. I can't even stop your mouth with delicious food? I know what to do about this matter, so don't say anything."
Qi Wang shrugged and obediently started eating.
However, even though Zhang Jiuqin said this, there was still a knot in his heart, and Qi Wang's words would appear in his mind from time to time.
The 'chief culprit' who caused all this, Qi Wang, had a good appetite, and almost half of the food on the table went into his stomach.
After eating and drinking, Qi Huan helped Zhang Jiuqin clean up the dishes and took them to the well to wash them. Zhang Jiuqin told Qi Huan to stop running around at home, and she would come back as soon as she went.
"Mom, we just came back, where are you going?"
Qi Wang naturally knew where Zhang Jiuqin was going, this was just asking knowingly.
Zhang Jiuqin did not hide anything from Qi Wang and said, "I will go to your Uncle Li's house to postpone the wedding."
After being stupid, Qi Wang was not very interested in getting married, and the doctor also said that Qi Wang could not bear the stimulation now and had to stay calm, otherwise it would not be good for his recovery.
If the young man got married, it would be impossible for him to remain calm all the time. For the sake of his health, the wedding could not be held like this.
However, the doctor also said that Qi Wang's recovery status is good. Normally speaking, he will be able to fully recover in a short time. When he gets better and is no longer as silly as he is now, he will naturally be willing to get married.
"I'll go with my mother."
Qi Wang stood up and planned to go to Li Guofu's house with Zhang Jiuqin.
"No, what are you going to do with me? Why do you, a child, get involved in adult matters?"
The originally scheduled wedding date had to be postponed. Although she had difficulties here, the bride's family might not be able to accept it. Even if the relationship between their two families was quite good, there was no guarantee that the other party would not say anything unpleasant.
Zhang Jiuqin didn't want Qi Wang to suffer injustice with her.
However, Qi Wang insisted on following him. Neither mother nor son could convince the other, so Zhang Jiuqin had no choice but to take Qi Wang with him.
"But even though I'm taking you there, we have to agree first that you won't want to talk when you go there. If you make someone angry, don't blame me if this wife runs away."
Qi Wan said nonchalantly: "Run away, just run away. I don't like my wife anyway."
Zhang Jiuqin: "..."
She was worried about this unlucky child, but why was this child so stupid? Didn't you know how worried this mother-in-law was?
Forget it, since he is stupid now, don't argue with him. When he gets better, you have to tell him what he did at this time and embarrass him.
Qi Wang, who was treated as a little fool: "..."
Okay, who told him to maintain his character unwaveringly?
Because Luo Shan was at home, Zhang Jiuqin didn't lock the door. After closing the door, he took Qi Wang and left.
Qi Wang and his family live in the north end of the village, and Li Guofu and his family live in the south end of the village. It takes about ten minutes to walk from here. The two women guessed that the Li family was still eating, so the speed was not too fast. That's it. Wandering slowly and leisurely by, I thought I was eating.
After arriving at Li's house, their family happened to have lunch. Li Wantao picked up the bowls and chopsticks and washed them by the well. After hearing the movement at the door, she looked up and saw someone walking in from outside the door first. When she fell asleep, Li Wantao's face suddenly turned pale. The bowl she was holding fell to the ground and was broken in half in an instant.
When she and Luo Shan were together, she was distracted and accidentally did something wrong. Looking back, Li Wantao felt that she was sorry for Qi Wang.
She hadn't gone out at home these past few days, just to forget what happened that day. She finally forgot the mistake, but now Qi Wang appeared in front of her again.
As soon as he saw Qi Wang, Li Wantao remembered what he and Luo Shanhu had done in Tianhei. Did Qi Wang know about this from Luo Shankou now? Is he coming to break off the engagement? Is he going to cause trouble for her?
For a while, various thoughts had flashed through Li Wantao's mind. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt and her face became paler.
When she saw Zhang Jiuqin coming in with Qi Wang, Li Wantao felt even more guilty.
Zhang Jiuqin was very kind to her, but she was in a daze that day. She did something like that with Luo Shan. Although Luo Shan repeatedly promised not to tell others, who knows whether he would do it in order to get Tell Zhang Jiuqin and the others about this by yourself?
Because of the chaos in her mind, Li Wantao did not greet Zhang Jiuqin and the others immediately. Instead, Zhang Jiuqin saw Li Wantao and asked a few words of concern: "Wantao, why do you look so ugly? Are you sick? What if? Don’t delay if you feel uncomfortable. Go to the health center early so that you can feel relieved.”
Li Wantao forced a smile and said she was fine, then lowered her head to pick up the broken bowl. However, her fingers accidentally touched the sharp edge of the bowl, and blood instantly poured out.
"ah!"
Li Wantao screamed in pain, and Zhang Shufang, who happened to hear the movement outside, didn't bother to greet Zhang Jiuqin and the others, and ran over in a hurry.
"You girl, what are you doing with your hands and feet? Your aunt and the others are not outsiders. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Wantao was panicked and scared, and she cried under the pretext that her finger was cut and bleeding.
Li Guofu also felt sorry for his daughter. Seeing Li Wantao like this, he hurriedly asked Zhang Shufang to take her back to bandage her finger.
Zhang Shufang did not object and led Li Wantao back to the room. Li Guofu moved a few small stools to Zhang Jiuqin and Qi Wang and asked them to sit down.
"Sister-in-law, you are back from the city. Have you done everything?"
It can be said that Li Guofu was the only one in the Li family who didn't know what Li Wantao had done, so his attitude towards Zhang Jiuqin and others was no different from the past.
He also heard that Zhang Jiuqin and Qi Wang were sent back by a car. Li Guofu knew that Zhang Jiuqin and others should be busy entertaining guests, so he didn't go over to cause trouble for them. He originally planned to go over to take a look when he had nothing to do in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that the mother and son ran over before he went over.
Zhang Jiuqin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's all done."
Li Guofu nodded and said with a smile, "It's good that it's done. Ah Wang looks very energetic, much better than before. It turns out that going out for a walk is still very good for him."
After the two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries, Zhang Jiuqin brought the topic back to the main topic.
"By the way, I came here to discuss something with you."
As she said, Zhang Jiuqin talked about her postponement of the wedding date.
"The doctor said that Ah Wang needs to take medicine recently to see how effective it is. The wedding will take a long time, and he is afraid that he will not be able to rest well, so I thought about postponing the wedding. What do you think, Guofu?"
Postponement of the wedding date?
Li Guofu frowned slightly.
