Whatâs going on?
Why did they suddenly start arguing with such noise?
Ge Xiaotong stood with her mouth agape, looking at the irritated Chiang Xiao, feeling somewhat perplexed. After all, she was someone who had been through it all; although she was already married to Xu Linjiang, it had not been long, and they were still deeply in love.
Why did she feel like those two behaved just like a couple bickering?
Petulant, childish, and beyond reason.
Even the tall and mature Captain Meng seemed the same to her.
But Chiang Xiao was only thirteen.
Ge Xiaotong was conflicted.
Could it be that Chiang Xiao was experiencing puppy love? Was that a good or a bad thing? If she went to ask Chiang Xiao, what if Chiang Xiao hadnât actually felt that way but ended up being triggered by her? What then?
At this moment, Ge Xiaotong was extremely conflicted.
âLittle, how could you talk to Captain Meng like that and even drive him away? He seemed angry,â Ge Liutao said with much concern.
Chiang Xiao snorted.
âSo what if heâs angry,â she retorted.
Chiang Songhai couldnât keep up and said blankly, âBut I hadnât finished what I was saying!â
âAlright, Grandpa, letâs just be discharged today and go back home. Chiang Baohe probably still needs to stay in the hospital. They probably donât have the energy to bother us for the time being, so letâs go home to recuperate!â Chiang Xiao didnât want to stay here anymore.
Once they got back, she would cook Ganoderma water for them every day, ensuring their health would be exceptionally robust.
Besides, now she had money, and she wanted to go home to get someone to build a wall!
She had so much to do; where would she find the spare time to deal with that bullyâs matters!
âBut Little, what Captain Meng said just nowâŠâ
Chiang Xiao interrupted him again, âGrandpa, donât worry about other peopleâs business. Iâll go take care of the discharge procedures. Weâll all go to Peace Restaurant in a bit, have a meal, and then head home. Conveniently, the ox cart is still here.â
As she spoke, she hurried out. Chiang Songhaiâs words were cut off twice without a chance to finish. He opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and then sighed.
Forget it. Maybe itâs better not to bring it up.
He had never truly considered taking the matter seriously before.
Little was doing fine as things were, and besides, the child was still young.
So, when Chiang Baoguo and the others had waited upstairs for half a day, realizing no one came up, and came down to search, the Chiang Family had already been discharged.
Even Ge Xiaotong felt uncomfortable staying in the hospital; she followed Chiang Xiao and left, planning to go home for a couple of days and then immediately move out once she found a place.
They went to Peace Restaurant and enjoyed a lively lunch. Chiang Xiao had arranged with Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang to go up the mountain again tomorrow, then they split up and went their separate ways home.
Xu Linjiang helped them drive the ox cart, sending the family of three back home.
However, throughout the journey, Chiang Xiao talked about future plans. Xu Linjiang chimed in from time to time. Both Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were filled with hope for the days ahead, laughing and joking, returning to Siyang Village in a relaxed and cheerful mood.
After arriving, Chiang Xiao saw Xu Linjiang to the door and walked a bit further away, away from the Old Chiang Family, and said, âUncle, are you and Aunt planning to rent a home in town?â
Xu Linjiang nodded.
âWhen youâre looking for a house, could you check a few more out? After you pick one, I want to have a look at the rest too,â she requested.
Next term, she would be attending junior high school in town, and she certainly didnât want to live in the village anymore.
Xu Linjiang glanced in the direction of the Old Chiang Family and understood.
If it were him, he wouldnât have anything to miss either.
âOkay. What are your preferences for the house?â
âAs long as itâs clean and tidy, has two rooms, and isnât too remote, that will be good enough. I donât have any other big requirements,â she replied.
Xu Linjiang thought for a moment and said, âThere arenât many houses available for rent in town, but Iâll try to find two adjacent ones. Does that work for you?â
