Fifth Master, however, lives a secluded life day in and day out, appearing to have no desires or wants, his meals are simple and plain. Therefore, the Jiang Family often says that if Second Master had been able to live like Fifth Master, perhaps he might still be alive and well today.
"Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Iâll take my leave now."
"Go on, go on." Fourth Master Jiang waved his hand.
After Jiang Qiuyan left, Fourth Master Jiang said to Fifth Master, "Old Five, you said you wanted Doctor Chen, and you even dragged me along. Boss isnât a tiger; if you need to see a doctor, why wouldnât he agree?"
"Thatâs not the case, Fourth Brother. We havenât had a casual sit-down and tea with Boss for a long time. Now that we have the time, sitting down to chat about family matters isnât bad."
"Forget it. Whatâs so good about tea? Youâve been drinking plain tea and water your entire life, arenât you tired of it yet?"
Fifth Master Jiang smiled wryly, "What can I do? This body isnât up to it."
They went inside to find Old Master Jiang, but he was just heading out to Jiang Shihengâs place, and they ran into each other.
Seeing them, Old Master Jiang paused.
"Laosi, Laowu, you need something?"
"Boss, Laowu said he wanted to borrow Doctor Chen from you." Fourth Master Jiang immediately asked, "Where are you headed?"
"Going to Xiao Sixthâs place. Whatâs wrong with Laowu? Not feeling well?"
Fifth Master Jiang used to have a regular doctor who followed him, but the doctor worked at D State hospital and was not the Jiang Familyâs personal doctor.
Of course, if there were any sudden changes, Chen Yiping would also go over to see him.
However, this illness of Fifth Master Jiangâs never seemed to get better; the doctors said that, thankfully, he was exceptionally disciplined, preventing the illness from worsening.
But itâs like a sword hanging over his head, battling illness, living a disciplined life, itâs still hard to be truly happy.
So Fifth Master Jiang usually lives a reclusive life, and often itâs heard that heâs resting due to not feeling well. Now that heâs looking for Chen Baoshen, Old Master Jiang subconsciously feels that he might be uncomfortable again.
Fifth Master Jiang said, "These past couple of days, Iâve been feeling some chest tightness and headaches; itâs not a big issue, but since Doctor Chen is here, Iâd like him to take a look, see if he can prescribe anything, even if it just makes me feel a bit better."
Old Master Jiang looked at him with some concern, then shook his head and said, "Laowu, your health is really... Iâm heading to Xiao Sixthâs place; why donât we go together?"
"Heading to Xiao Sixthâs place? Sure, letâs go together." Fifth Master Jiang laughed and said, "You know, when Xiao Sixth was little, I carried him quite a bit and even acted as a horse for him. We were quite close back then, but now heâs back, and somehow he seems colder."
He said, feeling a bit sentimental.
Since Jiang Liu returned, he seems to treat everyone similarly, greeting acquaintances properly and relying on others nearby to prompt unrecognized faces before greeting.
It feels like he treats everyone pretty much the same.
Old Master Jiang sighed and said, "You canât blame Xiao Sixth. He hasnât remembered many things, and itâs only been twenty years since he left home; itâs normal to be unfamiliar. Look at Laoliu and Laoba, after they got married and returned home, wasnât it different from before they got married? They have become much more courteous to us."
Fifth Master Jiang laughed again, "Thatâs true."
Fourth Master Jiang snorted and said, "Boss, I say, back when that situation with Xiao Sixth happened, we should revisit and thoroughly investigate it! Itâs really damn shameful! Xiao Sixth belongs to our family, it happened right here in our D State, how could we let such a thing happen to him, shouldnât we all feel ashamed?"
